I'm literally on tenterhooks waiting for the 'Myths and Legends' class to start. It's mainly for this subject that I chose to enrol in this university. Sarah's standing beside me, amused by my growing agitation.

"Well, at least you're motivated!"

"I'm so impatient! Dr. Simmons is said to have a very different way of working to his colleagues!" I comment.

"Are you listening to rumours now?”

"Not at all, you should do some research on his articles. The Internet can be a wealth of information you know?"

"Nah, you're joking? I thought it was just there to watch cute cat videos!" Her remark and her mocking look.

I decide to jump in. "I had a small chat about it with Peter."

"Yeah, more like you harassed him..."

"No, that's not true. Besides, he promised he'd make an effort with you."

Sarah scowls as soon as I pronounce Peter's name. "Awesome ah, but I didn't ask for anything!"

"But why not? Things would be so much simpler."

She raises an accusing eyebrow. "For me or for you?"

For them

    Next minute, we're immersed in the Manor's pool, just under my window. When I emerge, still hanging onto his neck, I try to catch my breath."I'm going to kill you!""Come on, little thing. Admit that you loved it, I can feel the excitement vibrating inside of you." We stare at each other lovingly for a long while in silence staying perfectly still. I reach out and touch his cheek. I'm worried that it's all just a dream. But no, he's really here in front of me."I missed you so much...""We shouldn't... Draven is going to kill us.""No he won't! Come here..." He suddenly draws me against him and keeps me nestled in the hollow of his arm. I am happier than I've ever been.I move away slightly and plunge my eyes into his. His eyes are gentle. I can read all the tenderness he has for me. I embrace him and lay a gentle kiss on his mouth. He slides his tongue over my lips. I sigh with pleasure. Each touch brings my body a little closer to burning point.I arch my back pressing myself again

    By the end of the day, I still haven't seen Lucian! If Sarah hadn't been there, I don't know what I'd have done. I'd probably have drowned in sorrow. I am nevertheless, quite depressed. His absence leaves a gaping hole in my chest. I miss it terribly.Sarah had a very good idea organizing this night in. I couldn't have gone back to the manor. Everything there reminds me of Lucian. Every room, every nook and corner. Despite my disagreement with Draven, I am grateful to him for allowing me to get out and breathe away from them.WHEN I arrive at Sarah's, I immediately collapse on her bed."I bought some mint chocolate ice cream, just get your mind off things.""It won't be too much!""Nothing like a little sugar to make a sad girl feel better!""It doesn't work, miracles either!""You never know!" Sarah goes to the kitchen and comes back victoriously carrying the tub of ice cream. She sits beside me and hands me a spoon."Go on, let it all out!""What do you mean?""It's a girl's night i

    "Still, I don't think it's necessary for you to forbid us from seeing each other. We're not kids!""Yet you both behave like one.""That's not fair! I made a mistake, one little mistake! I think your punishment is cruel!""Oh yeah? Tell that to the poor man you nearly killed last night!""Yes, but I didn't!""You were lucky, it could have been much worse, I had to use my power on him to cover you and protect the family! So, until I can trust you again, you don't see each other outside the manor and that's final!" With these words, he gets up and leaves the room without a goodbye.I feel terrible. My stomach is in knots again. I'm not sure I eat anything."Don't fret Celeste... He just needs a bit of time, you really scared him!""I didn't want to... I didn't see him coming and...""I know, you'd never do anything to hurt anyone intentionally and slip-ups happen, we've all been there. Now, eat up!""I don't feel like it...""I told you human food wasn't good!" Laura forces a smile out

    Once in my room, we remain silent for a long time. What just happened is horrible. Anxiety comes over me as I fix Lucian, speechless. I discover with horror aside to my gifts which I hadn't imagined. I just cause a car accident and a man may have died because of me...My mind drifts to my parents who died in a road accident. All of a sudden my legs give way and I collapse to the ground holding my head in hands. There's a bitter taste in my mouth and a lead weight in my stomach. I tremble like a leaf, I feel so bad... Lucian immediately rushes towards me and puts his arms around my shoulders, drawing me up against him.I want to cry. I'd like to go back in time before this all happened, but it's impossible. I know only too well, you can't fight death."Don't worry. Everything work out fine.""You think so? My God. I feel so bad...""Believe me, Draven will take care of everything.""Draven... He warned me but I don't listen... It's all my fault! It's my fault if that man doesn't come b

    I fix for a moment the cars parked below and rub my hands together. I slowly make the power inside me rise, containing it in order to prepare myself. If Draven hears about it, I'm dead meat! As for Lucian, he'll have all eternity to suffer his wrath.I close my eyes and focus on a car with increased attention. I try to move it but only manage to make it shake on the spot. I realize that it's extremely difficult to try this kind of magic trick at such a distance and on such a heavy object. I try again but it still doesn't work, I sigh."If you get annoyed, it won't work at all. Be patient.""It's so frustrating to know that I'm capable of it but that my power doesn't obey me.""The more you train, the easier it'll get, you have to give yourself time." For once, I don't listen. A bit annoyed, I concentrate again.Only, instead of being calm and posed as Draven advised me, I let myself be overwhelmed by my emotions. I'm soon invaded by a great force, whirling in me as if ready to fight.

    "You should see the look on your face, the whole lecture theatre knows what you're thinking of, or rather, of whom...""What's it got to do with you? Go see Logan if you're desperate!""She's right, you know, you are very... Transparent." Sarah"You aren't going to start too, are you?" I asked the bitch."Oh come on, was it that good with Lucian last night?""Better than that!""Uh... That explains the great eyes and rosy cheeks." Sarah"Rubbish!" I listen for a few minutes to the boring monologue of the teacher, then I retort."How can you expect me to concentrate? It's the weekend in a few minutes.""Have you got something planned?”"Lucian's planning something...""Wow... What a perfect man this Lucian!""I'm crazy about him..." She contemplates me, thoughtful."As I can see." I wish she could understand and be happy for me. But I understand that the situation is difficult for her, as her friend's going out with a guy that she hates. Complicated situation!"So why all the fuss?""H
