When the morning broke, we jumped to work. The wings were still there, and even after hours of work with William, it still didn't go away. William didn't confirm it when I suggested that I was stuck, but he did say that we should take a break. I didn't tell them, but I had the nagging suspicion that something went wrong with that ass hats spell, and that is why I couldn't shift, but I was under the spell for a very long time. So maybe just maybe in time I will get...unstuck. For now, I had to get used to these damned things. William and Thentos contacted all the people who were willing to fight on our side. No one was forced or cohorts into fighting with us. We amazingly had about two hundred willing warriors from all species and races who joined our ranks, even vampires who did not agree with Victorianna's future or the manner of getting there. I found out the entire family of the little girl deflected from Victorianna's side after they found out what happened to their dau
I have been alone in this dungeon for..... I lost count after the first few weeks. It was hard keeping track of days if you couldn't be sure whether it was night or day. I haven't had any company since they took my mother away. The only person who entered was the guard who brought me a blood bag... just enough to keep me alive but weak every couple of days. The door swung open to reveal Enrickio, I knew I was supposed to be angry, but all I could feel was relief. It has been so long without conversation or interaction that I was going insane in my solitude. I saw the pain in his eyes and recognized it immediately. I have only seen that once before, and that is when he had his heart broken. I felt sorry for him. That is the only pain he feels. He closed the door behind him and sat on the chair in the darkest corner. He sat there for a moment or two before breaking the silence; "Tomorrow is the day." He sighed. I could see that he didn't care about the battle tomorrow, a
I awoke to a powerful wave of excitement. Eventhough I knew I shouldn’t be excited because the end result of this battle may be completely devastating, ruining hundreds of people and creatures life's but it could end in victory and I could avenge my father as well as save hundreds of lives. My door creaked open slowly, and a soft tip toe echoed in the room, and then the person jumped on my bed. He jumped a few times and then sat on me. I switched on the light. Thentos grinned a real naughty Thentos grin. "Excited much?" He asked, placing his hands next to my head and leaning down slightly. "You most definitely are." A blush coloured his tanned skin slightly, and I could see just how gorgeous he was once again. His black hair was longer now almost to his shoulder blades and pulled into a ponytail, strings of it still covering his face. "Don't get used to it." He shrugged and rolled over. Laying next to me."Not in your wildest dreams." I smiled, but inside, I felt horribly
It was a circle of enemies facing each other. The sad part was that it was not only enemies but neighbors, friends, and even families facing each other. Everyone thinking their on the right side, even a few that were unsure. The hesitation clear in their eyes. On the other side, there were even those who you could see didn't want to be there. They were just too scared to leave. Then there were those who were hungry for blood, hatred coursing through their entire being. Waiting for chaos to break loose. Lusting for the kill. The slaughter.It was interesting how you could notice the different species by their armor. The vampires only conceal the most intimate parts with leathery armor. The elves covered in the most beautiful robes, with patterns of vines and symbols covering them. The shifters were wearing armor specifically to be discarded easily when required to shift. On most, there were a symbol of their pack or herd on their chest. Others didn't have them. Then th
Dear Diary; What a ridiculous thing to do! I have never kept a diary in my entire life. Why now? I will tell you why… I have too much to say and no one to say it to… so here it goes. My name is Zinnia, full name… that I will keep to myself. Thank you very much! I am still in bed, whilst writing in this stupid diary, I am worried about the day ahead. Dawn has not broken yet, and I wish it would never break. I still remember the last moments at that hellhole called school. It was before the summer vacation, the last dance, I didn’t want to go to the last dance because since I was over weight (as per the outlook of our wonderful world) I was the “easy target” of the school, everyone made fun of me and no-one liked me but my mother made me go and of course this is what happened; I got this amazing, halter neck, Champaign color dress it was a silk river flowing down my body. It's just the perfect style to hide my ekstra pound or two. As I walked in and made my way to the tab
I had to run but at a human pace. It was so frustrating to do everything at human speed since I have learned that I am capable of so much more. Everything seemed duller and more frustrating than ever before. I thought I’ll never be on time, but unfortunately, I was just on time (that’s my luck. Almost everyone was in the corridor). I breathed a sigh and went in. I could feel everyone’s eyes on me and see the confusion spreading from one learner to another in quiet whispers and jaw-dropping silences. I preferred the silence and quiet whispers to the usual intended to loud whispers and mocking laughter. I squared my shoulders and walked to my locker. My once friend, Sandra, stood there with the rest of the ho-club. They were giggling and chatting away. Apparently, popularity is more important than friendship. I threw open my locker she looked over her shoulder expecting “fatso” but her eyes almost popped out of their sockets (she looked like her yorkey LOL) I grinned at them stifling
When I opened my eyes, I was in the same corridor once more, but at least the lights were on. I realized it was my fathers' castle. His normally at his house, not the castle, and Victorianna, his second wife, and my stepmother stayed in the castle with the dear, sweet Briana. I looked at the portraits down the length of the corridor of my father and all the kings before him. It was so beautiful and ancient. I started at the top and made my way down, looking at all of the portraits. When I came to the end of the corridor, I drew in a breath of shock at the sight of the portrait before my fathers. The man in the portrait was beautiful, his eyes a crystal blue, his hair shoulder length, and bleach blond framed his face. He looked familiar. The gold plate under his portrait said Dentorion Winter.“OMW!”realisation stopped me from reading even further. He looked like...“Do you know...?”“O shit!” I clasped my hand over my mouth, my other hand flew to my stomach, as I was panting breathle
School continued as normal. It dragged on like a never-ending story, and everyone went back to ignoring me and fusing about my new friend. It was hilarious when Rachel came over to Justine and myself at break to invite Justine to ‘hang-out’ with the ‘cool’ group instead of ‘hanging’ with ‘fatso’. Justine stared at her for a while and then answered in a questioning voice. “Who is this fatso you speak of as far as I could notice the only ‘fatso’ is that girl in the ‘cool’ group that is so very clearly with child and the bunch of sickly thin cockroaches.” Rachel didn’t know how to answer this and gawked at this new girl in astonishment. Realisation hit her. She looked over her shoulder at Beverly, the only one with a little wait on her. Dump founded, and with a cruel smile, she murmured; " Pregnant. You don't say."She turned around, flipping her hair over her shoulder, and returned to the group. Ass swaying from side to side. Very clearly on a mission."So, Beverly... when are y

Thentos looked at me confused, I pointed to my head, trying to tell him that whoever it was was speaking inside my head. William raised his finger to get our attention and pointed to the woods. There was a figure just at the border. "Zzz-i-n-n-ia, I know you're there." This time, he said it aloud. "Come out and play." A young girl came running out of the jungle. Blood was streaming down her face. Tears, she was a young vamp girl, and she was crying. Her eyes focused on me. Fear, hurt, and betrayal flickered through her eyes. I needed to do something, she was suffering and I needed to do something about it. "There is a playmate for you. Come out and play. You are, in a matter of fact, a mere child." The voice sounded sarcastic. Before the girl reached us, a black tentical closed around her wrist. She screamed out in pain, and the scent of flesh burning could be smelt. Blood started dripping from the area. Purple marks started appearing around the tentical. I started
I pulled away slightly to look into those beautiful warm eyes. "Hey baby," I said, smiling He kissed me on the forehead, and I could see the relief in his eyes. Underneath all that was pain. I could see that he didn't want to talk about it. That was good because neither did I. I had too many questions, and now was not the time or place for it. "I am so glad I found you." He smiled "So now we can elope." He teased. "Come on darling, let's run away forever." I went along with it. We turned away and ran. Ran till we reached the gates he turned to me suddenly and seriously. The whole way, we were silent, not talking about what happened to any of us or what I saw or what I would find. "Nia." He turned to me. "I need to warn you." "Don't." I whispered because I knew what he would say. I knew he would try to warn me about William being in mourning for his mate and baby. How our world has changed. I could feel the evil and darkness in the air, just standing at th
My breath caught in my throat. I couldn't believe this. I wanted to pounce him and ravage him, but I couldn't. This beast was Victorianna's son. When will the act stop? When will he change from the knight in shining armor back to the monster he allegedly is? I couldn’t tell him I knew and I couldn't tell him I might be in love with him too (OMF! Where the hell did that come from? You don't love him! You should be in love with Eric, but....no! I am seriously suffering from Stockholm Syndrome!""I..." I stopped his eyes were waiting for my answer. Longing filled them, and I knew my answer would most probably cause my death.(You have nothing to loose.) The thaught hit me. I suppressed it at first, but it came back. (It's true you can't return to your mother. You don't have a father, and you're considering your feelings for Eric and Enrickio. Justine just died.)I pondered about it for a while. (I have Thentos and William....who need me now....or do they?)I took a deep bre
He led me to the garden cabin behind the house. Inside was a young girl clenching her side in pain. Blood seeped through her fingers because of her wound. I would know this girl anywhere; "Shila?"Her white-haired head shot up at the sound of my voice. I could see the longing in her faded green eyes. It made me want to disappear. She disgusted me. Her fragile demeanor will at first trick you into wanting to protect her. Wanting to love and get to know her, but once you do, she changes into a bloodthirsty monster."Thentos." She pleaded and started crawling towards me, but the look on my face must have said everything because she stopped and just let her head hung for a second before looking up again."What are you doing here?""I...I ...I was passing by when..." She stuttered at first."Stop lying! Why were you part of the..."I didn't want to say assassination, I wanted to say murder, but I could not get the words out."Because..." She hissed."Because what?" I growled."
He took her from me and disappeared down the corridor to their room. I wasn't sure what to do and I didn't want to leave him alone so I followed him into their room. The baby was asleep on their bed between two pillows, and he was busy running bath water in the onsuite. "What is her name?" I asked, wanting to make conversation. I could not stand quiet. "I haven't decided yet. She always wanted to name our first born Zinnia out of respect, but I always liked Jennavive." "Why Jennavive?" "Her full names were Justine Jenavive Dijon." The longing for her could be heard as he said her name. "She wanted to call her Zinnia out of respect for the king?" I confirmed. "Yes, may his soul rest in peace." He whispered the latter. I wondered as I stared into the innocence of her face. The poor baby had no idea what she had lost and what was to come next. In a way, I envied her peaceful innocence. "Jennavive Nicole Dijon, Nia Jennavive Dijon, Zinnavive Justine..." I trailed off a
