Fingers steadily rush over a blooming cheek that was wet from a waterfall of tears. "Hush! I am right here beside you!" A deep husky voice pacified, tenderly stroking the ear chambers of Amethyst. Slowly, almost involuntarily, Amethyst's purple eyes opened wide — nothing but fright swimming into the void of their pupils."It's…okay! Breathe!" Liam who was sitting on the edge of the bed assured. He could instantly capture the shock and aghast in the eyes of his mate, who was breathing heavily as if she has been running. "Liam?" Amethyst shivered like a little thing missing its mother's embrace. She whispered through her shaking breath, sweat dancing on the edge of her forehead. Her hands shuddered as her trembling fingers went over to clutch at her hair only when an unbearable pain has pierced into the walls of her brain. There was a pang echoing in the depths of her ears; she couldn't understand what was happening to her and how her system was reacting. A flicker of relief when to
A clap of thunder rumbled in a distance afar — the world seemed to shake just a little. Everything — every single thing was floating before the eyes of Amethyst whose system was being strangled by guilt. A wrinkle produced itself across her sweaty forehead as she silently urged her brain to process every word spat by the vampire that was lying almost motionless on the ground. A loud pang echoed in every one of her ear chambers, discouraging anything else from making its way into her ears. "What…? W-who are…you?" Slightly loosening her grip around the rope that was eating the skin of Douglass away, Amethyst stuttered a question, her heart dancing wildly against her chest. Evil laughter suddenly escaped from Douglass's dry lips — nonstop, he laughed as if he knew how haunting his laughter was to Amethyst. "Oh, dear! No need to be scared!" He hissed. He was no longer groaning in pain, he allowed the rope to cut through his skin, making Amethyst realise that he had accepted that he w
[The Truth Is Out, Now What?]"You know more than you say you don't. Should I be worried?" Liam investigated the vampire whilst intensely examining his demeanour. A shy smile hesitantly crept across Douglass's face, believing that he knew Liam would ask this question. "Creatures like yourself are always smart — they smell rotten potatoes from a mile away and yet I promise you, my lord, fear nothing from my words!" Douglass replied in a voice that was poorly quivering which he tried to keep steady. "My lord? How fancy!" Liam chuckled with surprise, one of his eyebrows rising with interest. For some reason Liam roughly placed his hand around Douglass's arm, stopping him from walking and looking him in the eyes. Everything — every tiny moment that Douglass lived, Liam saw each bit of them. When he did not expect any of it, he saw Elizabeth. It wasn't the Elizabeth that he knew, but rather a different Elizabeth which he quickly guesses to be a vampire. All the feelings and emotions Do
The huge wheels of a carriage rattled on the gravelly-dusty road, hitting tiny stones as it drove by. Inside, Amethyst was looking out of the window, staring at the sky, silently complimenting the beautiful blueness that was decorated by a few fluffy clouds that lazily drifted in the gentle breeze — twas the sky that was still marked by peculiar lights that only meant the ending of everything at this point. Amethyst released a deep sigh while closing her eyes shut as she leaned her head back. Everything was the same, only this time she was in the same carriage as Liam who dared not to say anything to her — just look at her as she struggled to breathe. "Ask away, Liam!" Shortly after heaving a sigh, Amethyst blurted when she felt a pair of eyes intensely digging and ogling at every movement she made. She clenched her teeth, waiting not so patiently for Liam to air something, but there, he remained hushed as he contemplated the words to utter. He was calm, not ever rushing himself t
There, the wind blew, relentlessly kissing the pale skin of the Dark Fey whose eyes were dilated with intense fear. There, throughout the tiny forest, the fog was suddenly rising, covering Amethyst and her acquaintances. Words — inaudible venomous words whispered in the depths of their ear chambers, forcing the waves of aghast to paralyse every one of their veins. There was a blue, depressing code of silence that filled the atmosphere with poison and malice. Amethyst suddenly felt weak — she felt like she was dreaming and whatever was happening was not true. She wished to ask the White Snake to repeat her words but swiftly advised herself against it, as she feared that her approach would be perceived as disrespectful. Both Amethyst and Liam swiftly exchanged glances and looked at each other for a long time. In Liam's eyes, there was safety written all over — safety that assured Amethyst that he was going to protect her, no matter what. He was calm and showed no insignificant emotio
"It has been a while since we last saw each other, don't you think, Amethyst?" Adelaide hissed through her teeth as soon as they entered a very spacious room that was furnished with luxurious, eye-breaking furniture. In the middle was a huge throne made from wood that was fantastically painted white — matching the skin of Adelaide, the ruler of the Dynato Asími Fountain. The White Snake smiled delightedly while her eyes were gleaming beautifully with an unconstrained wave of ecstasy. She slowly and confidently sashayed up to her throne — where she carefully placed her buttocks, her eyes still fixed on Amethyst. There Amethyst stood a minute away from the doorway while her eyes carefully studied every one of Adelaide's movements. A smirk quickly curled up across her face when she witnessed Adelaide dismissing her guards. An ominous shadow flashed past Amethyst's eyes when they were finally alone. She did not say anything yet, her eyes were poorly focused on Adelaide. "And…you're st
The dappled sun shone through the tall, ancient and foreign trees, creating mysterious shadows that hid behind Amethyst who was carefully strolling on a small lane, there, where tiny houses were beautifully built. Her boots smoothly stepped on the ground as if she was afraid she'd cause a wave of unnecessary sounds. Attention was already attracted — many young women had already come out of their houses to peek at every one of her movements. Her purple eyes wandered around, silently admiring the breathtaking construction of the houses — not just the houses, but those many beautiful women who were closely examining her features. Many eyes widened as soon as they stopped on her huge, pointy, black horns. A huge wave of gasps filled the atmosphere and this fascinated Amethyst whose heart jingled happily at the sight of admiration in the features of everyone present — everyone that was now surrounding her. This was the first time she saw creatures falling in love with her presence and th
A pair of purple eyes unsteadily darted around the house that suddenly seemed to be overwhelmed by ominous shadows. The air seemed to be poisonous and Amethyst started to choke. Thither, Amethyst's veins protruded to her skin as her eyes widened with a blend of deadly feelings as they wrapped themselves around her palpitating organ. The world seemed to have stopped moving — she wished she could just float in the air and disappear into nothingness but…that was horribly impossible. She was not aware of tears as they were sneaking on her pale cheeks — she had no idea where they came from. Her fingers swiftly wiped away tears as they were manoeuvring to swim towards her chin. Amethyst wanted to get up and run away as far as possible but her legs did not agree with her — they were suddenly numb and she could not feel them working. "W-what…?" Amethyst whispered through her trembling teeth whilst her eyes glued themselves on the old woman whom she caught smiling happily. The old woman's s
[The Song Of Death!] ——There, there…The world quickly came to a heartbreaking and dissatisfying halt. Nothing — absolutely nothing, only Amethyst's eyes that lazily shut themselves off. There wasn't a readable emotion on her gaze, eyes and features as they instantly became pale. Right at that moment, Amethyst's body began to shudder as coldness slowly covered every inch of it. Its movements were suddenly uncoordinated — nothing that she could do as all the engines in her system were shutting down. Five strong figures firmly held her back as she lay on his lap, supporting her so she did not fall. "Hush, my dear, it is all over now, I promise! Let it all out, if you must…!" A breaking voice of Liam assured. Instead of Amethyst, the man was crying, the wobbly waves of his voice fluttering straight into Amethyst's ears chambers. Ear chambers? They were slowly being overwhelmed by darkness that cracked as it touched every tip of the ear chambers and soon, Liam's voice disappeared befo
A familiar voice punctured into Amethyst's ears. It was Amethyst who had fallen into the small lake, her face buried in the water. Biting pain was waving all over her skin and bones and it did feel like some of them were broken. Her body was lying in the water, motionless as the leaves of the huge Tree of Life, next to her trembled in the air as it ominously blew and sang an unknown song. "Is this your simple way out, Althea?" There, a few feet away from Amethyst, Mauve, the witch, growled a query as her lips delicately curled into a disgusting, confident grin. Her half-naked figure was magnificently posing as she spat every word. She was definitely in no rush to do or say whatever she wished — only did she carefully watch as Amethyst fought to get up. Fortunately, Amethyst only managed to get her face from the water and now she could breathe, finally. There, the Dark Fey was breathing heavily as transporting air into her lungs was suddenly hard. Her nose was cluttered by crimson b
[THE DEMON KING IS ABOUT TO WAKE UP. QUICKLY, STOP SHREDDING TEARS!] …"Everyone is defending the coast and the front!" A royal guard whose quivering hands were covered in blood that did not belong to her growled and reported to Artemis quickly after she had thrown herself in the compartment. "That is what we were fearing the most!" Artemis whose forehead was decorated by an ugly frown, hissed through her clenched teeth soon when she received the royal guard's words. "And what about the West and the Back? Anyone still available?" Artemis, whose eyes were filled with rage that was trying to overshadow fear, blurted a question as her eyes were stealthily looking at the White Snake. The White Snake said nothing, her eyes were carefully glued on the naked window that published as the Dynato Asími Fountain was being destroyed by guns and arrows of death. "I am afraid there is nothing to report about the West and the Back. No life is left…!" The royal guard replied to Artemis's question.
[THE SUN HAS COME UP WITH ITS CLAWS SPREADING BLOOD AND HATE THROUGHOUT THE DRY LANDS!] …Loudly, a bang thunderously opened and vehemently vibrated in the atmosphere, engulfing the air with its powerful flames of misery. Everyone, including Amethyst, was overwhelmed by a feeling of uncertainty — nothing was making sense. There, the Dark Fey whose eyes were nervously shut, breathed heavily as the air was meekly refusing to enter the cages of her lungs. Her chest heaved, with a mission to drive away fright from her skin but that was not working. The only two things that her ears captured were her thunderous heart and a loud, steely sound that openly made everything seem like it was in slow motion — like the world had stopped moving. Her quivering lips felt heavy — she was not able to scream even when that was her biggest wish at the moment. That, however, was not the only thing she wanted to do — she could feel strong hands wrapped around her figure and with curiosity striking every
[THE FIRST RAY OF THE SUN SWIFLTY SHOWED UP AND THREW ITS LIGHT, CLOSE TO THE HEART OF THOSE, WHOSE SOULS WERE BEING CRUSHED!]"Sorry, Amethyst, in case you thought that I would let you live and do the unthinkable, watch me as I ruin your imperfect happiness!" Adelaide whose heart was vigorously hammering itself against her chest, roared through her clenched teeth as she marched in a location only known to her. There, she evilly wore a smirk that disclosed her shining fangs. Her lifeless eyes were glowing brightly with no sense of emotions — her pale face was twisted with disgust as she delicately curled her fingers inward, forming fists. Even though she was trying to pose a different posture than fright, she knew very well that her soul was overwhelmed by a vibration of emotions that she did not know how to express — fright was amongst them. Although she was continuously telling her heart to calm down, never did it bother to obey any of her words. "You will learn your lesson today,
Eyelids nervously trembled as tears began to create a shuddering stream down the cheeks that were blooming with hidden agitation. Lips quivered as words evilly hid underneath a heavy, numb tongue. A skin filled with beads of sweat was slowly dying — There on the bed, Amethyst was quaking whilst whispering muffled screams, her fingers clutching the woolly blankets. Her hair was wet with sweat that shamelessly pasted itself everywhere on her shivering body. Of course, she was shivering like a signal flame held high in the air. Was it a dream that she was having? Truly, it was a very bad one. Right there, Amethyst sharply opened her bloodshot eyes which were filled with glistening tears. The Dark Fey had gotten up whilst gasping and gulping for air. She felt like it had been a very long while since she had last exported air into the chambers of her lungs. She was openly terrified — everything that belonged to her was deadly shaking. "Where…where am I?" An agitated Amethyst uttered in
[ THE NIGHT WAS LONG AND COLD, AND YET, SECRECY WAS HIGHLY IMPORTANT TO THEM. ] AMETHYST CORVUS: "This is how it was all written down! This is fate, Althea!" Wearing a disgusting smirk that brightly disclosed dangerous excitement, Prince Dwight growled, his voice rumbling directly into Amethyst's ears. It was Amethyst whose body was frozen on the spot, confusion slowly brushing its dirt all over her features — on every corner. Her suddenly shaking hands had formed weak, trembling fists that barely held on. There, her face was falling with disappointment as it was victoriously mated with wobbly indignation. "SO BE IT!" The Dark Fey whispered under her cold, quivering breath. Closing her eyes, Amethyst turned around and began shuffling away from a grinning Prince Dwight. He understood it well; she understood why he was grinning — all of a sudden, she was very weak and there was no way she could hide this. She felt every claw of weakness breaking into her system, her soul, trying to
There in the throne room, two large doors sharply opened with a loud clang, disclosing an angry Amethyst whose face twisted with disgust. "You just couldn't wait to drag me down into the mud, did you, Adelaide!?" The Dark Fey hissed and growled soon when she stormed inside the spacious room, intruding Adelaide as she was humming a song that had momentarily calmed her down. There, Amethyst marched towards the White Snake, her nostrils flaring as veins bulged out of her head and neck. Her chest was heaving while expecting an answer from Adelaide, who at this point was frowning with confusion. "You dare disrespect me, Amethyst! What is this!?" Sharply getting up from her throne, Adelaide groaned, her frown deepening soon when she caught Amethyst's eyes narrowed at her. An ugly grin curled across her lips, unbeknownst to her that this fuelled Amethyst's indignation. Her eyes quickly glowed with a sparkling flame of ire as she continued to walk in Adelaide's direction. "Is it desperatio
[Everyone Shall Reap As Darkness Continues To Sow!]"The evil times are finally here! It is time to dance in the darkness, isn't it?" Clasping her trembling, slender hands behind her back, Melpomene nervously murmured soon when she halted just a few seconds away from Liam, whom she caught staring at the stars. Her eyes were unusually twinkling just when Liam had sharply turned to her — not because he was startled but surprised by her words collection. His eyes followed the direction of her voice and quickly caught an innocent smile wrapped up across Melpomene's features. "You!" Liam whispered whilst a smile swiftly painted itself on his face, letting go of his momentary confusion over Melpomene's words. "They are indeed approaching at the speed that I was not expecting — at all! Very shameful how rudely the darkness is spreading." Motioning the siren to come closer to him, Liam aired in a voice that was deep as hell and cracked as he spoke. With a weak, proud smile, Melpomene shuffl
