"Natalie," he repeated, her name like velvet on his tongue. He seemed to like the sound of it because he repeated it again, his voice turning low. "Natalie." Leon Hughes was a mystery masked by bruised cheeks and bleeding knuckles. He was a wraith, a shadow on the walls - sometimes there, sometimes gone. Never set in stone. He showed up when he showed up, with his face bleeding, his shirt torn, his skin blistered. Natalie never knew when he'd come, but she always let him in. Originally a short story.

Being re-written Ramona can very much remember how in love she was with prince Valerian. Betrothed to him at birth, she was raised and molded to love, cherish him and to be his perfect wife. He was everything to her, Ramona loved prince Valerian the way she's supposed to, expected to, and trained to. He's the love of her life. Prince Valerian adored her just the same, he married Ramona when he's eighteen and her at sixteen. As soon as they're both at marrying age. The two were a picture perfect couple, the pride of the palace and the envy of other royals that no one as much suspected the couple of nothing but a happy marriage. Until, something dark and unexpected happened. It was overnight, the change in the Prince. It is as though he'd been bewitched by a spell or a curse that turned him into someone else. Prince Valerian began to act restless, afraid and anxious. When the sun goes down and the darkness reigns over at night, prince Valerian turns into someone he is not. He became violent, hot tempered, and vile. Gone is the calm and doting prince everyone adored and in his place is a monstrous strange man. No one would have suspected he is the same person that even Ramona did not recognize her own husband. The palace condemned the change as a form of ill omen that corrupted the prince, and called forth the land's best healers and physicians. They summoned magicians, warlocks, shamans, and yet, none was able to provide a cure for a curse no one could understand.

"He doesn't see you the way I do. He doesn't see the broken girl inside, a soul that just wants to be loved, protected, needed. But I do. I see you because I've made it my every damn mission to." His eyes held mine with a piercing stare. My breath caught in the back of my throat. "And you know what? I'd do it again, and again, and again, until you realise just how fucking badly I need you." Avery Watkins hasn't always had it easy. Growing up with both parents struggling with addiction and trying to find her place in the world, she doesn't have much trust in others. So when Sonny, her current boyfriend comes along, he is positive, caring and everything she thinks she needs. That is until she comes head to head with Sonny's flatmate, Harrison Shaw. Harrison is a lot of things but positive isn't one of them. He is quiet, mysterious and equally as guarded as Avery. Not only that, he forces Avery to dance with the ghosts of her past whilst also uncovering his own. But Avery soon finds out that what she has needed all along is right under her nose, or more specifically, in the bedroom next door. And the wall between them may not be as thick as she believes.

"Meeting you was the best coincidence of my life, whether you want to call that dumb luck or fate, but it makes me believe in something. And that something is us." *** Eris Rex: She's wild, snarky and always on her feet. Someone who looks her challenges in the face and tells them to fuck off. People are drawn to her, she's magnetic. It's as simple as that. Demetrius 'Zeno' Bonnes: He's awkward, silent and doesn't know what to do with himself. He's a mathematical genius but has no clue how to deal with people. He's half-deaf but not afraid to call someone out. Because of her blunt nature, too-honest tongue and loud laughter Eris is always seen as a bit odd but she could care less what people think. Friends are something Zeno struggles to make. So when he got the chance to help her and become her friend, he took it. And Eris wasn't about to let that opportunity slip between her fingers. However unlikely their pairing is, it's true that opposites attract as Zeno realizes just how cute Eris is when she goes red. And Eris realizes how fun it is to tease someone who never expected to be teased. Eris sees him as a shy, awkward nerd she wants to make confident. Zeno sees her as a tiny, sarcastic girl he's lucky to be friends with. As always, Eris doesn't care about getting in trouble during school if only for a little fun, and this time, she has Zeno to drag along with her. Neither of them knows how long they can keep the pretense of friends up. It's only a matter of time before one of them breaks.
