View MoreThey began the moving process almost immediately.There wasn't much work to be done for Hunter and June; the servants did most of the work, despite June's protest. Hunter allowed her to carry her suitcase, though, just to make her happy."How are you feeling?" Hunter came up behind her, bringing her into a small hug."I don't know yet. We haven't finished moving in," she said into his chest, a mix of emotions filling up inside her and threatening to spill out."Well, I mean so far. How are you feeling so far? About the move and everything."June took a deep breath. "Well, I'm excited, I'll admit that much. It'll be a nice change, and I think I'll enjoy the coziness of this place a lot more..." she started."But..." Hunter started for her."But... I will also admit that I'm nervous about the change. It's a big one and I had just gotten used to the castle and how things worked there.""Don't worry about it, okay?" Hunter rested his head on top of hers, bringing her in tighter. "It'll be
The next few days, June took good care of Hunter. She brought him everything he could need and used all her strength and magic to ensure he was healing as fast as possible.“Junebug, I’m all better now.” Hunter could finally walk and run freely now that his health was normal.“I know, I know. I’m just worried about you.” June mumbled as she sat a platter of dishes down on a nearby table.“Well, don’t be. I’m just fine,” he assured her with a soft kiss before heading back toward the bed.“June, do you like it here?” he asked after a few moments of complete silence.“I mean, yeah,” June answered, surprised by the question.“No, I mean really. Do you like living here? Or would you rather live somewhere... smaller?” he turned to face her, watching her reaction.She sat down and back in her chair, thinking about the question.“I would enjoy living someplace homier, but there’s nothing wrong with here. As long as I’m with you, I’m happy.” she turned and smiled at him, hoping her answer was
June returned to the bedroom, frantically looking around for something that would be personal to both of them.Looking under the bed, she found her personal box that she put her favorite things in, like pretty stones she found while walking and little notes that Hunter would sometimes write her if he knew he'd be working late.Inside, there was also a watch. A watch that Hunter's father gave him when he was young, and he gave it to June so she could keep track of time when he was gone.Gently picking it up, she remembered the moment he pulled it out and told her how important it was to him. Once he handed it to her, she handled it with the utmost care. Not wanting to lose or damage it, she put it in her box and slipped it under the bed, bringing it out only when she was missing him.She closed her eyes and cherished that memory, holding the watch close to her chest. Then she took a deep breath and took off running back towards the magic room."Here!" she declared as she busted through
There they were.Three black fang spiders.June had only read about them in one of the books Hunter had in his room back on earth but now she was looking one right in the eye. Or rather, eyes. It had eight.They looked like a spider in the sense of the eyes and the long, sharp legs. They had claws that poked out on the sides of their faces and they were covered in ugly hair. It looks almost like a beat-up chihuahua bred with a spider. It had four fangs instead of the standard two normal spiders would have and was twice the size of the average human.Once June made eye contact with the first one, she felt like she was swirling and suddenly she was back in her childhood bedroom.She stood there all alone, staring at the locked door as she could hear laughter from below. She was only four years old and forced to sit out of her older brother's birthday party because she asked who the gifts were for.Later that night, her brother would try and sneak her a slice of cake, which she would enj
The next day, June woke up and rolled over, noticing Lucas sleeping in the far corner.Her head throbbed from the crying the night before, and the cold weather bit at her face. She knew the temperature was going to be dropping soon, but it seemed colder than she expected. More lonely.She longed to be back at the castle, laying in bed while the fireplace filled the room with a comforting warmth, reaching over and giving her lover a morning hug. She bit the tears back and threw the covers back, jumping up.Walking over, she lightly tapped Lucas with her foot."Hey, wake up. We need to get going." she was already slipping on her warmest pair of pants as Lucas slowly stood."How did you sleep?" he asked kindness in his eyes."Forget about it. Just get ready." June zipped up her coat and stepped outside the tent, getting her horse ready as Lucas got prepared to go. They took the tents down and made sure the fire was out completely before they got on their horses and took off.Making their
June and Lucas make their way through the trees, dodging branches and avoiding fallen logs."So June, how did the King find you?" Lucas broke the silence.June took a deep breath."He tracked me down somehow. I don't know.""Why do you think he chose you? He put a lot at risk doing that, ya know?""Lucas, shut up. I don't want to hear it.""Sorry. I just figured since we'd be spending the next few days alone we should at least communicate, maybe even get to know each other a bit." Lucas responded, defeated."I'm not going to fuck you now that my fiance is dead," she said coldly, causing Lucas to panic."No! No, that's not- That's not what I was trying to do. I swear!""Oh shut up and keep riding before I decide to kill myself instead."Lucas kept his eyes forward, afraid to speak another word."We need to set up camp. Go on ahead and see if you see any clearings we could use." June called out for Lucas.Lucas did as he told, finding a small clearing that was just big enough for their
June fell onto the floor of the room she was dragged into. She grabbed handfuls of her hair and screamed."My lady-""Shut the fuck up!" she screamed at the poor servant who was just trying to bring her comfort."My lady, is there anything I can do?" he asked, concerned about her mental state."Get me, Marge. Now." she demanded as she leaned onto the wall with her hands."Right away, my lady." the servant ran off, leaving June alone with her thoughts.There had to be a way to bring him back. If she could heal him and kill thousands with a wave of her hand, there had to be a way to bring him back. She was going to do whatever it took.There was a knock on the door as Marge entered."You called?" she asked, noticing June's poor state. "I heard what happened, and I must say-""Bring him back." she commanded, turning to face Marge."I'm sorry, dear. I can't.""Bullshit. There's got to be a way. Some kind of resurrection spell." June insisted.Marge sighed."You're right. There is a way. B
Seeing Hunter like that sent a new level of rage through her.Screaming, she raised her hands and quickly brought them down, the power of the spell knocking everyone to the ground, and killing every werewolf within 300 feet. She rushed over to Hunter.He lay in his own blood, losing more with each second that passed.He had been bitten on his side. The wound looked horrible, and Hunter himself didn't look much better. It was obvious he had lost a lot of blood. June panicked. Tears started falling as she knelt down beside him. She did the only thing she knew to do.Use her magic.She held her hands above the injury, trying every healing spell she knew. It was starting to seal the wound, but he had still lost a lot of blood. She took a deep breath, getting tired from using all this magic but refusing to give up."Junebug." Hunter reached up and held her arm.June paused for a second, slowly looking down at him. His eyes were filled with tears and pain."It's over.""No, don't say that.
June could sense them getting close, and decided to practice the spell that Marge had taught her in the library. It took her a few tries, but she finally got it and watched as the werewolves were carefully walking through the trees. They were coming from every direction, which she immediately warned Hunter about.“It looks like they’ve gotten a lot closer. We’re most likely going to see this fight first thing tomorrow.” she said, taking note that it was becoming nightfall, and they were bound to stop and rest.Hunter nodded that he understood, and took off to tell everyone else to have their guard up. There were to be people standing guard twenty-four-seven now, all around the castle and inside.Everyone obeyed his orders, rushing to get to their place. June knew she should be getting ready for bed, resting up for tomorrow. But she couldn’t. Something was off. Something told her they wouldn’t wait until tomorrow to attack.She tried the spell again and noticed that they were making pr
June climbed out of the second-story window of her bedroom, looking down and seeing the swarm. For the first time, her reality was starting to set in. Hard.She’s alone.And if she can’t find a way to escape this mess, and fast, she will die a very gruesome death, just like everyone else.Quickly, she scanned her surroundings for options. She could climb higher, onto the roof? Nope, it’d just make her more stuck. She could jump down? Into the swarm? Even June knew that was suicide. The only thing left was a nearby tree.BOOM.The sound of the bedroom door being busted open shocked her back to the current moment. She looked back inside and saw that the swarm had made its way upstairs, devouring her dead sister who had laid up against her bed, trying to heal from the bite wound she had received protecting June.Without thinking, she jumped towards the tree. Grabbing a branch, she was able to lift herself into the tree. Luckily, this swarm was small enough so all she had to do was climb ...
