Amethyst's Adolphus
After a long and weary tour, Amethyst has not yet grasped the information she was sent to discover. The day has been carried on to slouch and now the castle was flooded with more guests.
Ford Model T's were seen squinting in with slowed motion. All of the guests were neatly customised as if they made a wager to look exceptionally glistening.
Every man's woman wore the Victorian style and ensured to be the subject of the sumptuous night ahead. The urge to find the 'NORE' spell book kicked all the dignity Amethyst had.
"Humans are pathetic beings!"
She laughed to herself whilst seated on a tree next to the big labyrinth, fifteen steps away from the garden. She was idly sipping on a Julep with less enthusiasm. After a brief pause, a black Ford Model T with a colour anomaly to the rest of the cars drove in.
The driver was well-groomed and focused mainly on the details of driving in. On the back was a man who was wearing a black mask and two pairs of leathered gloves. His face was positioned out of sight by a black top hat that covered his left eye while the other was slowly opened.
Soon as he stepped out of the car, cameras ought to flood right into his view. His high quality printed single-breasted suit boasted his victorious appearance.
All the ladies were screaming their eyes out in admiration. Shortly after he had raised his leg forward, his two tones showcased their shine as he walked into the palace.
The world around Amethyst seemed to have shifted and paused for a while after meeting the stranger's grey eyes. They got locked together with her's and did not seem to want to let go. "His shadow. He's yours." —"Mated to him!" Disembodied whispers were heard by both parties.
Promptly after their surroundings went back to normal, Amethyst abruptly ran away with questions climbing her 'upstairs'.
•••
Feels of glitz and glamour merged to be driven to the edge of the cliff operated by eminent boredom as soon as king Howard emerged with his daughter, Olivia.
A haggard–like a face twisted with agony—totally mismatching the theme of the party, and wearing a twinkling, weary smile that was almost falling off his features.
"Prince Liam is it?" The king's croaky voice enquired with a smile that was dwindling within a second after seeing the less enthusiasm from the gentleman in front of him. Olivia could not help but smile on the inside.
She was suddenly flying high after the brief amount of time that Liam had placed his dim, glowing grey eyes—fixedly on her radiating blue eyes.
"How may I help?"
He aired a question that for some reason made king Howard collapse in shaking giggles. Liam had a demeanour that would make people fear him and sometimes for no obscure reason. A sturdy good-looking gentleman like him had a smile so rarer than a hen's teeth.
His raven, long fringes covered his left eye marking him as the cold type— indeed he was. He invisibly twisted his lips after waiting for quite some time to get his reply from king Howard, who had no other way to explain himself. "Can…...you please have this dance with my daughter?!"
A sudden, befuddling query voiced out the king's lips, causing Liam to raise his right eyebrow with a demeaning smirk. "I can but may not want to!" He gave a brief answer with his eyes that were now dancing around and accidentally fell on Amethyst's shuddering figure. She, who was carrying a tray of goodies, walked out of the palace, with eyes that were full of questions and confusion.
"Mr Fluss we—"
"Please excuse me!"
Liam excused himself and went after Amethyst waiting no less for the utters that king Howard would want to puff. Olivia's face turned pale soon after realising that he was going after Amethyst, a maid that in her head didn't match the likings of Liam.
Agitation overwhelmed every inch of her body inciting her to raise her legs, and skip behind Liam and followed Liam.
As if sensing that an uninvited guest was looming behind her, Amethyst jinked and cancelled her trip to where she had planned to go and hid behind a family of close thicket of shrubs, next to handsomely tall trees. Liam's tall slim yet masculine figure intensified instantly when his eyes made a shaming discovery.
Amethyst, the woman he has been following was nowhere to be seen. Numerous soft-bodied fireflies managed to mesmerizingly shine their light on Liam's face. Divulging his sharp–prominent jaw and the seemingly succulent peached–thick lips.
The emerald eyes that were peeking behind the greens barely fought the strong impel, to turn themselves aside from the devastatingly euphoric scene apparent to only them. After the whole five minutes, he decided to go back to the 'boring' party. As he was sauntering away his shoes stepped on a bottle.
He went down to investigate but immediately smirked to discover that it was a Julep bottle, by only a single sniff. He looked around and could sense that Amethyst was somewhere close but was promptly interrupted by heels throbbing on the sidewalk.
"A story for another day!"
He puffed silently to himself and walked away. "Oh...I did not think that I'd find you here." Olivia squealed, pretending to have not know where Liam was. "Are you okay?" He interrogated to make sure that Olivia in front of him was totally fine, camouflaging his nauseated glance at her.
His nose was soon whacked by an expensive perfume worn by Olivia that made him keep his distance a minute away from her. His eyes slightly turned yellow, reacting to the fisted smell that made him flinch back with confusion.
Sudden whispers pulled Liam back to his world and his skin commenced to itch. Howlers picked up by his ears eventually made his heart race until his eyes sighted the figure of Amethyst behind the greens.
"Lorna?"
His cheeks turned sickly giving Olivia a big fright.
"Liam? Are you okay?" Olivia's mellifluous voice intruded into the muzzy world that had encircled Liam. He sharpened his glance and stormed off without saying a word to Olivia.

"My Mate!"
'The Dark Forest—A witch and a Vampire!' [Prompt Afternoon] One cloudy afternoon, a shadow hid behind the darkness and permitted its gleaming black eyes to peek at the castle— slightly put where it would be out of sight of the naked eye of humans, there on the highest mountain of the Dark Forest. The wheels of the carriage of great age rattled against the wet, rough gravel— hitting the little stones every now and then. Tiny drops of rain lazily fell upon the carriage. As soon as it drove past the two, huge, lifeless trees the two black horses stopped marching. Before them were the gigantic gates coloured silver and black which unhurriedly opened with a screech to make way for the carriage inside, granting it to shuffle across 'that' lane enveloped by despair and obscurity— that in hushed utters led to one's doom. Looking up— ahead was a towering castle that was covered with melancholy and no sense of hope. Menace and gloom lurked freely as the crows flew high and down the castl
[What Are You Called?]On a Thursday morning, Amethyst smiled as warmly as she could, whilst her glistening emerald eyes continued to peep slyly and observantly at the tall figure of Liam. He, who was slouching around the well-groomed garden with all the flowers— tulips, jasmines, lilies and orchids in bloom. A book was carefully opened on his right hand while the other was strictly forbidden to intervene and placed on his back. His black saddle oxfords throbbed on the leaves that were pattering on the gravel he shuffled upon— as if he scolded them to get out of his way. His raven, lustrous hair gleamed soon as 'that' ray of sunlight showered his unbothered figure. Having his grey eyes half opened, he slowly raised his eyebrows at the statue of king Howard. "Twit!" A hiss aired out his thick, peached lips. A sudden smile appeared on Amethyst's features. So warm and sunny, she ensured to showcase her white teeth. "What are you called?" Interrogating herself, her eyes continued to i
"Welcome To The Show!" [To tréchei— what's wrong?]The door whined with sorrow just as Princess Olivia manoeuvred to shut it. She froze, staring at the brown-coloured door in front of her teary eyes whilst her naked, slim-back faced Amethyst, who was unsure of what to do. Taking a series of deep breaths, Princess Olivia turned her blooming features in the direction of Amethyst, with her gleaming eyes with sadness, and watched attentively at Amethyst's figure. In brief timing, a smile so little and insecure appeared on Princess Olivia's features. Her tiny, slender fingers instantly clasped onto the dusty pink sleeves of her blouse, as she took shy footsteps towards a confused, wide-eyed woman before her. "My heart…I have never felt like this before! She couldn't find the spot but this one did!" Silently, Princess Olivia cried in delight. Her arms were visibly shaking behind the slit sleeves of her blouse. Her breath was suddenly uneven as she shuffled towards Amethyst. "Are you ce
"Man and Beast Dwell Together In Weal And Woes"Amethyst's POV:My eyes squinted like a bag of nails hastily after I had stopped in front of "that" white coloured door. There, where a man covered with gloom dwells. A beast in human form, that is close to letting its forked tongue flick in and out— readying itself to throw its bane on my soul. I stood still with a heart skipping its beats every time I thought of knocking. My face lacked emotion soon as I began cringing at the oppressive thought of walking away. My hands shuddered greatly under the tray I was holding. I was aghast when I felt a wave of miscellaneous emotions crawling with glee in my nerves. It was actually for the first time in twelve years since I was frightened by another being's presence. "It's now or never!" I whispered under my breath as I prepared myself to knock. Promptly after I had my eyes shut, the door creaked pitifully as it was opened— urging me to open them right away. Glistened by a sudden foam of mist
[Witches don't Cry!] Amethyst's POV: My gazes unhurriedly opened to meet a black vaulted ceiling facing me with agony that subverted my right to cry. I couldn't disguise my embarrassment at this passing time. My reddened eyes darted playfully around the room and caught nothing intriguing but darkness lurking around freely. I slowly raised my head and looked around the spacious room once again. My sights met with my coat hanging lifelessly on the door of the black-coloured closet, opposite the bed I was lying in. Shifting my eyes once again, I caught neatly folded clothes kept on the nightstand on my left. I took an instant deep breath shortly after my eyes landed on a drawing of a faceless woman on the wall. "Wendell." I puffed lazily after realising that I was in Wendell's house and with that, I shuffled towards the bathroom. My eyelids were heavy— I was disadvantaged to open my eyes wide. "Use it!"Reaching the bathroom, I glared at my reflection on the red-framed mirror as t
[ As You Sow You Shall Reap!]The golden rays of the winter's sun glowed upon the beautiful palace of the Norse Kingdom. Outside was a chorus exerted by birdsongs to the ears of maids who were running up and down in the kitchen. Tree leaves were lazily pattering on the ground whilst the sun allowed more of its rays to gleam throughout the Kingdom. It was not at all late but the kingdom was not yet awoken. Up, in the midst of the Norse palace, inside a white–doored room is a pair of smoking grey eyes fixated on a whiteboard before them. Amethyst was sunk quietly on a black chair with silver legs, three minutes away from the focused artist who was trying by all means to ensure that he makes a masterpiece. Her mind was momentarily caged in an abyss of memories that somewhat delighted her. ••• [ A Memory, Eating Into Amethyst's Vision]"Don't worry yourself, I love making portraits of those who intrigue my DEMONS!" Liam grumbled
"None of the humans in this year knows about the existence of wolves. Be careful not to overshadow your fur to the world!" °°°The little drops of rain sought to patter down the kingdom. The weather was changing as days marched towards the end of June, philosophers of the NORSE Kingdom had already concluded that NERIDA is giving signs of her forgiveness. As the rain became something received day and night, the people became lost in ecstasy. "The prophecy is coming to life!" One of the men in the crowd shouted, where Amethyst was snaking through. His hands were lifted up in the air as a sign of gratitude. Out, on the linear streets of Ombersely, a fair was held and people from great distances were celebrating their victory. With vehement mirth crossing their features, each of them bought gifts and lit candles as per their tradition. "Don't slack off, NERIDA will not be pleased." A middle-aged woman in a black dress said to a toddler whose enraged eyes were covered by his blonde ban
SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE IS SAUCE FOR THE GANDER! [FRIDOLF'S ALPHA] "I THOUGHT I KNEW!" Disembodied whispers danced around the big, spacious room and welcomed ominous blackness to lurk across the whole building. Omnipresent screams and cries of creatures unknown, landed in the centre of her system — blocking the truth from her vision. "It hurts!" Amethyst cried, bending over as the itching on her back became more painful. Her emerald eyes that were blocked by the abrupt tears witnessed the gloomy, wrathful low hanging storm clouds as they began to rendezvous up, in the sky of Ombersley, through the dormer window. An icy cold breath plastered itself on her neck almost lustfully so. A sharp turn and then Liam was right in front of her with his cold, huge and veiny hands enveloped around her tiny waist. His half-opened grey eyes fixed themselves on her dewy eyes, agitation disclosing itself on his features. The now scared Amethyst barely fought the inclination to look away, as her eyes
[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
