No one knew where Holly came from, but they were all too familiar with the consequences of stopping her passion. It was whispered that she was a witch, that she had come from a distant land where magic still held sway. Others said that she was a chosen one, blessed with a gift for music that was beyond the comprehension of mere mortals. Whatever the truth was, Holly's talent was undeniable. Whenever she played her violin, the world seemed to stop and take notice. Her music was haunting, beautiful, and powerful, and it spoke to something deep within the hearts of those who heard it. But there was a dark side to her gift as well. Whenever anyone tried to stop her from playing, or to interfere with her music in any way, strange things would happen. People would fall ill, crops would wither, and sometimes, even worse things would occur. Despite the dangers, Holly refused to be deterred. She was determined to continue playing, no matter what the cost. And so, she wandered from town to town, playing her music and leaving a trail of awe and fear in her wake. No one knew where she came from, or where she was going, but they all knew that they were scared of stopping her because now shes a threat.
4 THE CAUSE
Holly had been dating Josh for a year now and their relationship had been going great. But there was one problem that was slowly tearing them apart. Holly wanted Josh to move with her to a new city, but he still stood in her way. Josh knew the danger that awaited Holly in the new city, but he also saw the path Holly was on. Holly was ambitious and wanted to make a name for herself in the new city, but she was blind to the risks. One day, Holly burst into tears out of anger, not fear. She was frustrated that Josh couldn't see her point of view. But Josh was determined to fight for her, even if it meant going against her wishes. Love makes people do the most irrational things, but Josh wasn't going to let Holly sink. He loved her too much to see her fall. Finally, after a long argument, Holly turned around. She saw the love in Josh's eyes and realized that he was only trying to protect her. They hugged and Holly knew that they would never be separated, no matter what city they were in.
FIND YOUR CHApter and wait.
Josh and Holly had been arguing about something insignificant, as usual. Holly was always so stubborn and refused to admit when she was wrong. But this time, Josh had to intervene and tell her to wait. Holly squinted back at him, her anger evident. She was so used to getting her way, and now she felt like Josh was trying to control her. "What?!" she snapped. "Shouldn't you apologize to Meta?" Josh asked her calmly. Meta was their mutual friend who Holly had recently had a fight with. Holly looked at him incredulously. "Why should I apologize? She was the one who started it!" she protested. Josh sighed. "I know, but you said some pretty hurtful things too. And I don't think you truly meant it when you said sorry earlier." Holly's expression softened as she realized Josh was right. She knew she could be impulsive and say things without really thinking them through. "You're right, I'll go talk to her and make things right," she said, grateful for Josh's guidance. Josh smiled at her, happy that he could help his friend see reason. Maybe now they could all go back to being friends again.
Holly had always dreamed of being famous, of having her name in lights and her face on billboards. But when she met Chris, everything changed. Chris was kind, caring, and loving, and Holly found herself falling head over heels for him. As their relationship grew, Holly realized that she would do anything to make Chris happy. Even if it meant giving up her fame and fortune. But when she broached the subject with Chris, he was adamantly against it. "I don't want you to give up your dreams for me," Chris said. "I love you for who you are, not for your fame or your money." But Holly couldn't imagine living a life without Chris by her side. She didn't want the fame without anyone to share the spoils with. It was either her dreams or Chris's happiness. After a lot of soul-searching, Holly made the difficult decision to give up her fame and fortune for Chris. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she was willing to do whatever it took to make Chris happy. In the end, Chris was grateful for Holly's sacrifice, but he knew that it wasn't necessary. He loved Holly for who she was, not for her fame or fortune.
It was clear that Holly didn't need Promise to care about her. She never needed her at all. And it seems like Holly doesn't want Promise either. Promise hates to see Holly so sad all the time. Promise also knows that Holly is lying about it not being Promise's fault. She failed in her mission and Holly is being a coward. Promise knows how this ends. She knew Holly was stronger than to lie to her. Promise realizes that the Holly she left wasn't the Holly she returned to, and she wants to fix it. But no one cares what Promise wants. Only Holly used to care about her. Promise feels like she's losing Holly and it's breaking her heart. She wants to reach out to her, to tell her that she's there for her, but she knows Holly won't listen. Promise feels helpless, like she's lost the only person who ever cared about her. She remembers the time when Holly used to be happy, when they used to laugh together and talk about their dreams. But now, Holly is a stranger to her, and Promise doesn't know how to fix it. She wishes she could turn back time and do things differently. But she knows that's impossible. All she can do now is fight the people who are responsible, they were the ones who thought holly was crazy when she was perfectly fine, well if they think something wrong with Promise, well they are going to learn that maybe the shouldn't have laugh. No more games, its officially a war, and holly has her troops already in place, she just need them to realize holly's done being ignored. They will listen, and they will raise awareness for biid. Or holly was going to raise hell.
Holly had always been confident in her decisions, but as she walked down the path she had chosen, the weather suddenly changed. It began to rain heavily, and she couldn't help but feel like it was a sign. She couldn't continue down this path, she thought, and so she turned around and took another path. As she walked, she couldn't shake the feeling that she was over-analyzing the situation. But with no contact from her support team, she couldn't help but feel lost. She needed guidance, and she needed it soon. Holly decided that if she couldn't find the way on her own, she would have to make herself visible. She found a clearing and shone a light into the sky, hoping that someone would see it and come to her aid. As she waited, Holly began to doubt her decision. Was this really necessary? Was she just being dramatic? But just as she was about to turn off the light, she saw a figure approaching in the distance. It was her support team, and they had been searching for her. Holly felt a wave of relief wash over her as they approached, and she knew that she had made the right decision in shining the light in the sky.
