2024-10-29 19:42:56[Prompt morning at the FRIDOLF PACK]
A lump rose in Liam's oesophagus that eventually caused him to cough out the water Elizabeth had just given him. His half-opened grey eyes peaked at the confused figure that was leaning in front of his sweating face.
The first thing his bloodshot eyes caught was the haggard face, and a pair of vivid blue eyes— eyeing him with pure worry. "What is wrong with you? I'm not dead, am I?" He asked, helping himself up.
"Are you joking right now? You passed out and yelled all night in your sleep!" Elizabeth's dulcet voice squealed while she ran up to give him a hand to stand up. The open window welcomed the sun's rays to flood and exert to overwhelm themselves in the room— accompanied by absolute intense glee.
"I yelled? Tell me you're exaggerating! Why am I smelling medicine?" He questioned leaning towards his t-shirt. "Don't worry about that, you have a trip." Embarrassed to say, Elizabeth pushed him to the bathroom.

[Amethyst Corvus]
One breezing morning Amethyst was lamely sauntering deeper in the quietened hallway five minutes away from the garden that was flooded with guests. She slouched underneath the vaulted ceiling that was covered with snow-white colours, touched by gold.
Gargoyle figures were magnificently built. Each one of them had their mouths open and water hissing down the greens next to the hallway. It was believed and foretold that the water was the tears of 'NERIDA' in the early ages of '60—sadly that tales of NERIDA are now forbidden.
Two mischievous toddlers collided with her as soon as she was about to open a door to the balcony. "Miss Francis….can you read us the last part?" Little Michael's voice enquired, not knowing that it waved a web of frustration that gave birth to built up in Amethyst's system.
She raised her head in disbelief that was stirred up with slight indignation. Her hands waved up in the air indicating denial and continued to venture into the depths of the castle. Shortly after taking five footsteps forward, she heard pairs of little feet pattering behind her.
A slight grin merged onto her tiny—cracked diamond-shaped lips whilst her figure stood still to think of a good way of saying 'NO'. "Pretty please–s–s–se! Penelope did not get to hear the last pa-r-r-t….." Little Michael's voice squeaked the last word after noticing the rage that was painted on Amethyst's features.
"Did NERIDA die?"
Big Penelope hurried her tiny, mellifluous voice to enquire about the question that would thwart Amethyst's plan. She instantly covered her small lips while her eyes danced around, looking for uninvited guests close by.
"Come here!" She yanked both the toddlers aside in the big hall filled with lavishly designed ornaments covering every piece of the furniture. Her eyes gleamed with inconspicuous rage. "These obstreperous brats will get me caught!" Amethyst huffs with slight indignation protruding from her features.
"Listen!" Her eyes darted along the corridor and then closed themselves for a while. Penelope's tiny hands clung to Amethyst's leg, and none of the children would give up the fight for the story.
Amethyst's eyes lighten up after witnessing Penelope's haggard face that was almost falling with the plea. A treacherous smile appeared on her lips and silently grunted while fixing her glance on the toddler's tear-stained face.
Amethyst's eyes failed to fight the urge to avert themselves from the woebegone features in front of her. "Alright….I'll tell you the last part." She assured them while kneeling next to the toddlers.
"Now." Her hourglass figure looked around once again and then smiled at them. "CALLIOPE of the AQUA RAIDNE manoeuvred to swim closely to NERIDA's shrugging figure. Her eyes dilated, big and widened with terror.
CALLIOPE plunged the blade into her throbbing heart, she flinched and froze with confused eyes. —CALLIOPE gnawed his mouth in mirth, completely not ashamed."
Amethyst's voice now sounded as if it came from underwater. Her eyes fixed the children with a degrading glance that was slowly feeding into their intrigued souls.
Her voice rang loudly in their heads to ensure that the story was displayed fantastically and deeply in their visions. Their faces glowed with unconstrained glee, her face gleamed with untamed avarice that consumed its hunger onto their innocent hearts. She rhythmically drummed her fingers on her thighs— gaiety, smiling under her sleeves.
"Aqua!" She whispered, guffawing silently to herself—eyes glossing with hilarity. "The rain STOPPED!" Her voice uttered the last word synchronising to the lanterns in the room evading their light from burning.
Silence, totally hushed. The children's eyes remained wide open while a set of smiles forced themselves to protrude on their features.
The world around them seemed to float before their eyes and no reaction came out from them, no questions, no agitation. Her merciless demeanour did not contemplate telling the story in full, as long as she fed them with her ideology nothing mattered. Sudden palpitating footsteps were heard in the hallway that made her frown before undoing her spell on the kids.
She immediately clapped her hands halfway through their faces and they blinked in confusion but proceeded to laugh their eyes out for no reason.
The lanterns got their light back before the owner of the footsteps stormed in. A willowy young woman, unknown to Amethyst appeared in the doorway with a distasteful expression planted on her fair-skinned face.
Her french braided, blond hair shone victoriously underneath the gleaming light. Her glistening blue eyes instantly dilated themselves in horror at the sight of Amethyst. "What in the goodness of Norse, do you think you are doing?"
Her tiny, dulcet voice vibrated after uttering every one of the words. Her hands pressed themselves onto her tiny waist while her oblong lips geared up to utter a swear.
Amethyst slightly moved her body to the left with a hidden smirk. Her eyes steadied themselves to face the glimmering tiles under her feet. "Michael…... Penelope!" The woman called out while her glance was fixed on Amethyst. "Out you go!" Her voice squealed and the toddlers did not dare to waste time and considered galloping away.
"And you…do I have to remind you of your place here?!"
She asked with a rumbling voice that echoed around the hallway. Amethyst's glance remained in contact with the tiles while smiling to herself. "You're just a maid! And I hope this is the last time I remind you of this!" The woman immediately dragged herself out of Amethyst's sight.
"He's Close! He is yours!"
Disembodied whispers danced around Amethyst's head, confusion aroused from her system.

Amethyst's AdolphusAfter 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 Mate's Silent Cry Purge Unto the Devil's degree
'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
His Mate's Silent Cry BE MINE!
[ 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!"

"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

[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
His Mate's Silent Cry Last Drop Of Tears
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

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

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.

[ 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

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
