*SEQUEL TO "OWNED" Leaving was killing my soul as sure as a dagger can stop a beating heart. There is such sadness in leaving a place of strong love, a place where fond memories grew as fast as the clover in the grass. Even after 7 years, I knew l would savour each memory so strongly that it will almost live once more. I knew that the strands of love would keep us together even when we were far apart. I only had to reach out with my mind and there he was, waiting to shower me with the love he always did. But after such a long time, it was my time to depart, to do what I was born to do, to make the changes and the sacrifices that were necessary. Necessary for me to survive without him. Necessary for me to forget him.

*After the Storm* After the perilous journey to retrieve a file of paramount importance, and a trip to the desert to hunt down bandits, Lilly Linton believed that the turmoil had come to an end. But what happens when the ghosts of Mr Rikkard Ambrose's past threaten to haunt him, and he and Lilly are forced to join forces in their venture to Scotland? An adventure that stirs up doubt, hate and maybe even...love? Indeed, the first storm was dying, but a new tempest had only just begun. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *Updated on Fridays* THE FIRST 14 CHAPTERS ARE ONE SHOTS.
