After some time, they find out to themselves the feelings they have for each other and that it's too late for them to have a relationship.

blazing light, In the middle of filth and distress, Among the sick and mad men, Where war and foolishness, There,where blindness devour, That I might beam with such fiery healing, That their souls might burn

After being transferred by her father's request, Emilia was left with no choice. She needs to get along with guys in a former all-boys school. How can she get along with them when she's stuck with a phobia? However, there are other destruction, a very long one.

Listen. Rass left everything behind. Except for the horrible thing that whispers inside him. Silver Wings. Faye ventures into a village for supplies, but rumours and a strange girl draw her in. Collection. Cuno should have kept his mouth shut. He wouldn't have done it if he had known she'd stick him on a boat heading towards hostile territory. Attic girls. They are a secret for when mommy gets better. Safe, and hidden until the right time. But Grandmother hasn't come back in days, and they're getting hungry.

*LOOSLY Based off of Abenaki tribal legends in Vermont/NY* ******** "Will you come?" I asked Maize, again, before she could answer, Siguan chimed in. "Actually, Maize has work to do. It's going to be just us." He was staring at Maize. My heart dropped a little and some of the fear that had been forgotten soon came back up. I waited for Maize to be her strong and independent self and tell him to screw off, but instead she just nodded, whispered goodbye and walked out of the room. I watched the door, hopping she'd come back in. In a few words, Siguan has managed to dismiss the strongest woman I knew. I was left with a man who had all but forced me to be alone with him. I looked over and his face held nothing for me to decipher. I was beginning to think my luck just ran out. ********** Jessa's true identity, and destiny, has been hidden from her ever since she was a little babe. She had no idea her background or even that her life held value to anyone other than her abusive "parents." She doesn't know the secret that hides within and that her family ties run deep and strong. Siguan knows that Jessa is his mate. And not just that, but he knows who she is as a person and even her real name. But, when he finds her, he sees a young woman who is broken and in need of rebuilding. Will he teach her to trust? And more importantly, teach her to lead?

Exploring the depths of emotional manipulation, this poem reveals the speaker's desperate longing for escape from a person who consistently diminishes their confidence and self-esteem. It's a raw expression of the struggle to maintain hope in the face of constant negativity.

"In a dark room in cold sheets, I can't feel a damn thing. I lost myself between your legs. You know I'd rather be alone but then you call me on the phone." - Habits of My Heart by Jaymes Young One night was all it took. A little too much alcohol, a heated bar, and cemented heartbreak led everything to him opening his eyes in a room that is not his own. A hangover that was blurred by the strange new room, the smell of vanilla perturbing his nostrils obnoxiously. Throwing his head back, his head hit something that wasn't a mattress. It certainly wasn't a pillow, that's for sure. "Ow, what the - ?" A deep, husky voice entered his ears, flooding all his senses into shock. He felt frozen in time, his head turned towards the familiar face as he was attacked with the reality of his life. "I-Ijuuin-sensei?"
