While they were talking, a small beeping sound notified Alethra that someone she knew had messaged her. She slowly looked at the message, her eyes widening once again.
Alethra. You will return to the Red Shadow at once. If you don't return to us in three days time, let's just say that you will never see your sister again.
---Zala
Tears escaped Alethra's eyes as she stared at the message. They meant it. If she doesn't do what they say in-game... they'll never return her sister to her outside of the game. Alethra took a deep breath, and wiped her tears. She stood up, and quietly walked out of the room, handing the Inn keeper money as she left.
"Alethra? Alethra where are you going?" Erin shouted after her.
"Don't follow me Erin. I am going alone. I'm sorry." She quietly told him, her voice slightly shaking.
"Alethra, are you insane?! You can't go back there! Alethra!" Erin shouted.
Alethra ignored him, and continued walking out of the inn. 'I'm sorry, Erin. I know I promised you, and myself that I'd never go back there... but, I have to do this... for Amy.' She thought to herself. Alethra walked outside, the sun shining down onto her. "I'll find you, Amy. I promise you." She whispered before running into the dark woods that lay in front of her.

When I'm with You
"You know I can tell everyone," I said, trying to stand my ground. But the confidence in my voice faltered the moment I met her gaze-there was something unnerving in the calmness of it. Her eyes were steady, no hint of surprise or fear. She turned to face me completely, unbothered, her presence unshaken. "And what would that change?" Her words hung in the air, but they weren't challenging. They were almost casual, like she was waiting for me to show her something more, something I still hadn't figured out. And for a split second, doubt crept in. Had I really uncovered something she wanted hidden? Or was it just another piece of the game she was playing? She stepped closer, her posture relaxed but firm. There was no aggression in her movements, only a quiet authority. A small smile tugged at the corner of her lips, barely there, but it said everything. "Secrets only hold power if you know how to use them," she said, her voice steady, like she was explaining something simple to a child. "So tell me, Siddharth... what is it you think you know?" The question wasn't just rhetorical-it was a challenge. And for the first time, I realized I was on the back foot. I'd thought I knew something, but now, I wasn't so sure. There was no panic in her demeanor, no rush to defend herself. She simply waited, letting the silence build between us. I held her gaze, steady but not aggressive. "Maybe I don't know everything," I said, my voice calm but with a hint of resolve. "But I'll find out. In time." She didn't respond immediately. The silence stretched, but it wasn't uncomfortable. It felt... inevitable. And when the moment was right, I knew she wouldn't be able to hide for long. But for now, I could wait. The game wasn't over. Not yet.Complete
Shattered Wishes ((Watty's 2015 Entree))- COMPLETED
I took a deep breath and told myself that Christian didn't notice anything about me, but, what if Lissa does? I can't seem to shake this feeling of her not treating me the same way she always does if she sees me like this. I felt the atmosphere thicken with shock, hate, and above all sadness. They were all coming through the bond. How could I compete with telling her a lie when I knew how she felt? What if she turns me away because I shut her out for the past two months? "Before anyone says anything I think we should say Rose had her reasons for leaving and is here to stay, right?" Christian asked. Breathe. Just breath. She needs to see you. "Why did you leave?" Lissa asked "I had a mission." She looked me up and down and shook her head. "It's true! My mom and I were assigned to protect a guy over in Turkey." "Yeah okay. I guess that's why you wouldn't talk to me for four whole days then just up and disappeared!" Tears shown in her green eyes and I hated that I was hurting her so badly. "Lissa. Please. I can't tell you anything else. " "Save it Rose! You know I did everything just to find you and I couldn't get a single trace! You left me when I was in a vulnerable state, Rose! " "Lissa don't turn this back to you! It's not about you! Everything isn't always about you! Yes, I shouldn't have left but I did. What do you want me to do? Apologize over and over? I think I'm already doing that!" "You shouldn't have left and not tell me!" She yelled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Plot: Rose had left the Academy, say what!? Well, two months prior to leaving, Rose had found out some horrible news that would ultimately shift her world forever. The more she keeps it all in the more it all will tear her apart. Let's not forget about Dimitri and the gang. They are vehemently worried about her, will she let them in and tell them what is going on? Or will she keep it all locked inside that it will destroy her whole life?Complete
Catch Me If You Can (Naughty Cinderella - Vampire)
Austin unclenched his jaw and spoke, "You're going to run from me." I was puzzled. What did he mean? He sensed my confusion. "As soon as we step foot onto human grounds," He spat out, jaw set, teeth clenched. He looked like a vampire at this exact moment. Angry, vicious, destructive. "You're going to want your life back. And leave me. Because you can't deal with a vampire. Because you're scared. Because you hate us." He averted his gaze from my shocked eyes and he spoke with ice in his tone. "And I can't let that happen." - "Listen human," Dmitri said to me, and he was in front of me in a millisecond, hands gripping my shoulders, pinning my body against the balcony railing. His face was inches from mine. "This is not your place. I'd watch your mouth if I was you." I shoved him but he didn't budge. "You can't hurt me," I whispered. "You're a HUMAN!" He yelled in my face gritting his teeth. "How'd you even make it here?" I tried to take my hand away but he didn't allow me. "What do you want from me, Dmitri?" I asked. I was shocked at how confident yet quiet voice sounded. "What do I want?" He bellowed. "You're a human, vermin. This is the vampire world. I don't expect you have any need in this world. I WANT you to get out, stay away from this place, the castles, the people. Austin. Stay away from him." He stared me right in the eyes when he said the sentence that prepared me want to leave immediately. "I'll have to kill you if you don't leave - and yes, that's a threat."Complete
HOME LIES IN YOU
"Mihika, I never knew someone would fight for my dreams more than I would myself," I whispered into the crook of her neck, my hand gently caressing her back to calm her trembling down, while the other hand softly tangled in her hair, easing her stress. "And I never knew someone could love me the way you do, Eshanth," she whispered faintly, pulling away from the embrace. My hands moved to her cheeks, wiping away the precious plears that streamed from her almond-shaped eyes. "Please, Mihika, stop them. You know I can't bear to see you cry," I said, shaking my head slightly in a silent plea. "I will, but only when you stop your tears too," she replied, and it was then I realized my own eyes were glistening. Yet, I couldn't let her see. I couldn't let her witness my vulnerability. She placed her slender fingers on my cheeks and whispered, "You'll be safe, won't you, Eshanth? You'll keep my Eshanth safe and loved, won't you?" How could I deny her innocent request when I knew she would be lost without me. "I will, but I need a promise, Mihi. You must love my Mihi even more than you've ever loved before," I told her. She gazed into my eyes, silently, just as she did on that precious day. Then, I felt her arms wrap around my neck as she stood on her toes. I lifted her onto my legs to make her more comfortable, wrapping my arms around her. Her head moved slightly, a silent response to my question as yes. ________________________________________ This is not just a love story; it's an embodiment of love in its most flawless form.

This assignment came up last minute! I am so desperate to see you! SERIOUSYL!." Proofreading wasn't her thing. "You mean 'seriously' ?" He added the 'eye roll' emoji. "See! You get me! Now, do you believe me? I ain't fooling around!" She smirked while adding the same emoji. "But I wanna fool around!" He inserted three wink emojis, making his intentions clear. She rolled her eyes, but a pink hue on her cheeks said a different story altogether. "I think we should do this..." She typed as she lay on the couch. "Shoot!" "Whenever we meet, we meet for the full day. From morning to evening, sunrise to moon-set, we can do whatever we feel like doing! We either stay in or go out, whatever our hearts say. But that'd be our first and last meeting!" She hesitated before hitting the send button. "And then we never meet again?" "Nope."

"Final then! We only meet once and then never see each other ever again!" She blushed another pink while typing. He smiled reading that.Complete
