He was poison. The kind that seeped into your veins and pumped with your blood. The moment he breathed the same air as you, you were infected. The kind that killed you slowly until the moment it decided it was your time and then it  happened all at once. 

Every time, every time you could hand me the antidote and I would refuse it. Cause I secretly thrived to have his poison rushing through my body. If I was infected it meant he was close, meant he was there. How long could I survive this? How long would it take for him to kill me? After all, the moment we locked eyes I had one foot in the grave.

Loneliness and I had grown quite close over the years. We shared a bond that I had never shared with anyone else. When everything in life was spiraling out of control, loneliness was the one thing I could always count on. Loneliness was my best friend, and I loved him dearly. *** Emerson had spent the majority of her adult life running-- running from her past, from her family, from the people that were supposed to love her; but she wouldn't run anymore. After so many years, she was finally ready to plant her feet firmly on the ground and face the past that seemed to haunt her no matter where she lay her head at night. The long bus ride had led her to Luciana, but it was the love of the local motorcycle club that made her stay. Now, caught up in a battle between outlaws and with her past closing in on her, will the love of two men and their motorcycle club be enough to keep her going? Or will loneliness continue to be the only source of comfort she knows? Will she continue to be the timid girl that everyone in her hometown remembered, or would she rise up from the flames as a new woman ready to fight for her future? *** The sky was a dusky purple, and the stars had already begun to litter the vast ocean above us. It was quite beautiful, the air around us was thick with emotions, even though neither of us had spoken a word. I knew he was escaping from his demons as he drove us further out of town, and suddenly, I felt weightless. I felt free.

I woke to a sudden breeze invading the warmth from the heavy blanket that caressed my skin. Here, alone with my thoughts, the still, calm quiet in the atmosphere is almost painful. I feel suffocated in the clingy, static air. In quiet, still moments like these, I can almost feel Him. I don't know who "Him" is, but I can feel his presence. It's almost calming, especially on fearful, anxiety fueled nights. Usually, he was the strongest when I had a nightmare. The nightmares weren't as common now, but, right after everything happened, I was having them every night. I'd wake up and swear I was drenched in blood, my eyes and lips sticky, my nose filled with the smell of iron and fuel. After everything, that's when Him first came. From there, he just never left. I can usually sense when Him is near. Today, though, his presence is stronger. I can almost feel Him next to me, weighing down the mattress. Some nights, I roll over and imagine how he looks, envision his smile or the sparkle in his eyes. He's never there and I'm left clutching to the thought that he exists, staring into empty air. Tonight, though, I swear I can reach out and touch him. Extending my hand gently, I sweep my hand out into the darkness and meet an inexplicable warmth. A scream rips from my lungs as hands cover my face and two icy blue eyes stare back at me, daring me to speak again. A soft cloth caressed my nose and mouth before I felt myself fade into bed.

"By offering you a roof over your head, extending my protection... this is me granting you the illusion of control. You're free to think you're making a choice, but in reality, you're not." The words hit me like a slap, and the last shred of my good mood slips away, replaced by a cold, seething anger. "Am I your prisoner then?" I snap, my voice dripping with venom. "Is this some kind of cage, Mr. Echo?" He leans in, his presence swallowing up the space between us. His eyes are intense, unreadable, and for a moment, I wonder if he's trying to read me the same way I'm trying to figure him out. "It can be, if that's what you want," he murmurs, voice low and dangerously calm. His fingers slide the pen closer to me, each movement deliberate. "Sign it, or don't. It's your decision. But just remember... I've already won. You're already part of this. You always have been. And trust me, that's never going to change." ************************************** Where there is no hope, no promise, no savior, what drives a person to keep living? This question haunts me daily as I walk through the broken streets of Quin, a town that feels like a prison. Here life just drags on, whether you want it to or not. I've survived the worst.I fought to stay independent, to carve my own path. I wanted more than just to exist; I wanted to control my fate. But even with all my attempts, all I really craved was an escape. Was it the right choice? Hell, no. One glance into the blue eyes of my alleged savior, and I asked myself, "Is this the salvation you desperately craved for?" This is me-Snowfall, scarred by my past and yearning for a future I'm not sure I'll ever see. A life of riches and power, a family I never asked for. When it was all laid before me, I wanted to run. But now trapped in the Echo legacy. Once you step into their world, there's no way out. No turning back.
