*Sequel to 'The Alchemist's Starling'*
Seriously - you won't understand the plot without reading TAS first...
It has been 4 months since Chisa saw the horrific Flash. Every night, her nightmares show her the same bloodcurdling image she wishes she never saw. But Chisa never told anyone what she saw...
Chise questions her, wanting to help - but Chisa lies, she can't tell the truth...
How can she?
Joseph continues to torment her from inside her head - the place where he can do the most damage.
Chisa longs for freedom; freedom from the psychotic Alchemist who's ruining her life... but she's starting to lose hope. She's struggling to carry this burden on her own, but how can she ask for help when she's forbidden to speak of the Pact?
However, Chisa is learning how to use Magic - she has the potential to become a great Mage. She has the talent and the passion. The only thing is, she lacks confidence - something she cannot have while Joseph is inside her head.
She still Flashes - she has no control over them. Each new Flash disturbs her, but she burdens them alone. Everything Chisa sees, becomes reality. That's how it works...
Her entire future is set in stone...
*****
"What makes you think the future is set in stone?" He asks me, gazing at me curiously.
"That's... the way it's always been. What I see... always happens in the future." I reply hesitantly.
He smiles at me, reaching his hand out to cup my face: "You are an Oracle, yet you do not understand your own power."
*****
"You know, fear has two meanings. You can Forget Everything And Run; or you can Face Everything And Rise."
"What will you choose?"
*****
Will Chisa ever be free?
Will she ever learn to face her fear?

Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.

𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮 [A Lars x Alisa Fanfiction]
INTRODUCTION The precious moments in the old selves. Our memories are relapsing compulsively. The chained painful past spins in our minds. Changing identities just to forge the other version of ourselves to cover the past. Stained clothes and bedsheets tainted the pain and tension. The sensual voices that serenaded us ascended in the sky. Is it possible to bring it back even when our hearts are torn and bleeding? But still our neutron screamed And I picture that you are my destiny, Even though I gaslight myself that I'm moving on. But I'm not. Because I'm still choosing you. DISCLAIMER This fanfiction is angst, hurt/comfort, and sweet and sensual. This is the first time I've made a long fanfiction. Since it's rare to have dramatic moments between Lars and Alisa, I made this element. Note, this is an Alternative Universe, so Alisa is a human in this story, and they're all of the legal age of the characters I used. Also, the other characters have side stories as well. So I hope you enjoy the story and leave your comments. Thank you for reading! LETTER OF CREDIT Special thanks to Deuce for the cover art, and Claire for proofreading and editing, for there are some corrections. Eli, thanks for urging me to make fanfictions. This is my first collaboration with Larisa Day, themed "Sweet and Sensual". The chairman of the Larisarian Academy, FlowerJusticeComplete

But though the eyes you can see a hint at thy you can perceive. Nothing left... I'm inside out. And now i see that the mask itself... was meant for me.

I don't expect to hear it in return. I just want you to know I Love you not for how you danced with my angels. But for the way you calmed my Demons." ~ RobinComplete
Dragon Blood
"Do you remember calling me 'mate?'" he asked softly, pushing her wild curls away from her face. She blushed deeply, but he wouldn't let her look away. "You heard that?" He nodded with a smile. "It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer. "I'm fond of you, too," he whispered in her ear. <><><><><><><><> Skylar lived her life in fear. Fear of exposure, fear of herself, and fear of her future. As a princess and heir to the kingdom, her future was daunting enough. The fact that she turned into dragon and would be killed if anyone found out made it all the worse. So, Skylar lived in constant conflict with the beast within her, all while training to be queen one day. When a fellow king discovers her secret, she is forced to flee or put her entire family in danger. When she meets Orion, the Alpha of a dragon clan, he helps open up a whole new world to her. In this new world, Skylar discovers who she is supposed to be and what she's been hiding from. She finds the beauty of her beast and a love she only ever dreamed of. But then her new world is threatened. It becomes a matter of kill or be killed, so Skylar's new family, with the help of her old, must rise to the challenge to defeat this threat. Or risk the extinction of her kind.Complete
