" Are you in a relationship with Sephie?" Mauve spoke directly from her intrigued thoughts. She almost regretted asking the moment it came out of her mouth.
Nicholas grins from ear to ear as if Mauve just said a very ridiculous joke.
" Where did that come from?" He asks, almost laughing.
" I thought the Eliot and the Astral thing is an endearment of some sort," Mauve admits as she feels her cheeks warm up.
" You've got the wrong idea. Think of it as rank. At Elite I'm ranked as Eliot, while Sephie is an Astral."
" No one explained it to me! Sorry I was just really intrigued. " Mauve looks away trying to hide her face filled w
“ Nicholas, have you ever been in love?” Mauve’s heartbeat could almost pop out of her ear. She badly wants to know but refuses to hear it come out of his mouth. Still, she kept her eyes on his even if she looks like a ripe tomato ready to burst.“ I haven’t … but I might.” Nicholas looks at Mauve who looks like she was relieved off of a heavy frustration.“How about you have you ever been in love?” he asks in return. As Mauve is about to respond, Sephie enters the room and asks how things were going. The tension between the two dissipates while they relay the plan to Sephie.It took them the whole afternoon and evening to patch through any loopholes they thought of in order to make the plan as easy as possible.

"We're here,” Nicholas informs once the device light becomes steady. They have arrived in the river nearby. This river goes all the way to their school where she fell down. Mauve wasn’t surprised that it would be the place they would end up in since she has always been fond of the river. She would always visit this part of the river where she practiced archery with her dad. The memory of her dad trying to fish here made her smile because he would always end up with some bass that he would grill for dinner. "What do we do now?" Mauve asks, her hand still warm inside Nicholas' pocket. " We are now in the inbetween. You must use your powers in order to open the portal." Sephie answers as she sets up glowing stones as perimeter along the edge of the river. This is necessary since it's dark and they may accidentally fall into the river. &nb
Mauve wakes up in a completely white room with her head dizzy from what felt like a fuzzy dream. Her eyes wander around and spot Nicholas at the corner of her bed. Anger immediately spikes, the last thing she remembered was Nicholas injecting her with a cold substance that who knows what for. Before she fumes red and goes ballistic, Nicholas speaks ahead.“I know you're mad but before you bite my head off, hear me out Mauve. The council leader is about to come in so I suggest you calm down first.” Mauve glowers at him. Soon enough a sharply dressed woman in a similar white ensemble enters the room.“ Good day your majesty, welcome to Elite. I am Danaia Witkinson the council leader, adviser, and in charge of the council. On that note, you and I will be working closely together as we prepare you for your coronat
“First in order, The grand coronation will be held 10 days from now. Our majesty will have to undergo training with each of the council leaders. Everyone must stick to their prescribed schedule as we are against the clock. Before we proceed, allow me to introduce the council leaders.” Just like what Sephie said, the only thing that Mauve had to do was sit on what feels more like a disco light due to the insane amount of crystals on the golden throne. The council hall is as big as two basketball courts combined. It’s hard to miss the glass ceiling where you can see through the levitating transportation capsules traveling at the speed of light. Mauve hasn't seen the entire Elite yet so far, her socks have been completely off. The pressure of ruling this parallel dimension is starting to build up and only time could tell until Mauve blows ups.
“Look at my clothes, I'm not dressed right.” “It’s alright, here take my coat. It'll do it.” His white coat was twice her size, it smells like a fresh dewy morning. Mauve breathes in the heavenly smell as she takes Nicholas’ hand and hopped on the glass board. She tightened her grip on Nicholas’ hand fearing they would lose balance. “See, not too wobbly at all. Are you alright Mauve?” She realizes she has her eyes closed, both of her hands clinging to his arm for dear life. She opens her eyes and sees Nicholas’ face, his eyes up close glisten just like a blue diamond. “Uh-yeah, I suppose”. Nicholas chuckles and holds her waist in response.
She believed in what they always said, plan out your life ahead as soon as you can or else everything will fall into shambles the saying got stuck in her mind and now she lives by it. Her obsession with planning ahead started when her momgave her a journal for her eighth birthday. Since then she would write down what she would do daily, weekly and on a monthly basis. She figured out what her life would be in the next 5 years pretty much. She had made her master plan that will surely bringher ultimate goal– to be a novelist.Three days from now and it will be her 18th birthday and she couldn't be more excited to watch her life unfold according to plan."Mauve, darling will you be okay? I've prepared food in the fridge, just heat them up and you'll be fine for the next three days." Her mom asks as she finishes her glass of milk."I'll be fine mom, I'm not a kid anymore." She rea
“You, a-again.” For a moment, Mauve was happy someone pulled her out of the water. It was the first time she ever experienced what it feels like accepting an abrupt death. That moment did not last long as she realized that it’s the guy earlier… her safety is no longer guaranteed. “Yes, it’s me. And like I said earlier I mean no harm.” He tries to convince her by flashing another reassuring smile and by giving her some space between them. He knows that Mauve is at her most vulnerable state and he thinks that this might be a good chance for him to persuade her again. “You should take your jacket off, miss, have mine instead.” Mauve’s eyes shift to the girl standing next to the guy. Her strong aura overwhelms Mauve as she looks at her eyes with genuine concern. “Who are you?” The question automatically goes out of Mauve’s mouth as her eyes lock into the girl’s strong gaze. “I’m Sephie, and ju
The night approaches and so does the bitter cold seeping through the old barn walls. Mauve wakes up under a pile of warm fluffy comforters that kept her neatly tucked in a bed. Through the glass windows, she realizes that she had been asleep for a few hours since it's dark already. She looks around the room and sees nothing but a chair placed on the edge of the bed and a door leading outside. Mauve rises and tries to jam the window open but fails after a few tries. The loud sound alerts Sephie who was preparing rice porridge for dinner. “Miss, are you alright?” Sephie asks behind the door. It took a moment for Mauve to respond as she pondered whether to yell at Sephie demanding her freedom or just be a decent person. She did not want to be rude since Sephie has been nothing but nice to her since they met.
“Look at my clothes, I'm not dressed right.” “It’s alright, here take my coat. It'll do it.” His white coat was twice her size, it smells like a fresh dewy morning.

" I need to ask you a favor”. Mauve asks hoping Nicholas would hear her out. " What is it?" He replies. " I want to stay until my birthday and spend it with my parents. " Nicholas knows it's not practical to stay longer on Earth but it is really hard to say no to Mauve now that they are starting to build her foundation of trust. "Of course, as you wish." Nicholas responds with a smile. " Great, now we need to make plans." "About what miss?" Sephie asks.
Hello! Can't you see me? Hello, I'm here! I'm here! Mauve's heart races in panic as she watches Nicholas and Sephie wave their hands around frantically looking for her. It was almost like Mauve glitch away and vanished in an instant. One moment she was smiling to Sephie then her physical self disappeared into thin air. What made the situation extremely frustrating for Mauve is the fact that she can see and hear Both Nicholas and Sephie who are frantically searching every inch of the barn trying to look for her. But then Mauve thought, this is a great opportunity to escape. She stands up from her chair and walks towards the door. As she is about to pass through it, Mauve stops. I would still be invisible even if
"Mauve!" Nicholas' eyes and mouth are wide open as he witnesses Mauve five feet off the ground floating in midair. It's almost like gravity no longer applies to Mauve as her hair floats around, so were her tears bursting out of her eyes due to sheer shock. Her scream continues as she struggles to keep her balance steady. "Nicholas help me!" Mauve cries for help. "Grab my hand!" Nicholas extends his hand trying to reach her. Mauve desperately grabs his hand but the more Nicholas tugs her down, the higher she gets. It looks like some force is pulling her back as she tries to go down. "Stop! Let her go, Eliot!" Sephie demands as she enters the room. Her eyes start to emit a subtle bluish glow as she scans Mauve accessing what is happening to her.
