Pain and confusion echo through my head as I slowly wake.
My body is upright, allowing my bearings to come back to me quickly. On instinct, I pull at my arms, but my wrists are tied together behind the chair I'm seated on, although my ankles are free.
Castiel leans against the wall in front of me, arms folded over his chest. Beside him, Senna, the smirk on her face rousing enough energy through me for me to snap fully back into consciousness. I've been kidnapped, and by the looks of the non-descript room I'm in, I'm not near Stace and Eyrk anymore.

~AvenI nearly laugh.Instead, I compose myself, focusing on each of their faces in turn. The look so serious, considering what they are asking me. I'm not going to pretend like I'm not confused about Stace and what he is done, but Senna, and this girl who claims to be my sister are the last people I want to associate with.I summon a deep breath, deciding what I need to do. "Let me go back.""I don't think so," Castiel laughs. So what, they plan on keeping me here forever? Stace and Eryk will already be looking for me by now, and they will know exactly

Kissing Danger 36
~AvenIt's night by the time Stace brings us to Territory Five.Light strains my vision from a street lamp above me, my mind taking a moment to conceptualise everything around me. It's hard, shifting into a completely new environment so quickly with Stace's magic, however, I'm just relieved to be out of Territory four, and away from Lucille.By the ambience, beyond the small street we stand in, we are in some kind of village. Stace grabs my wrist and pulls me out toward the street, Eryk trailing closely behind me. When we emerge, I'm confused at the sight of a simple, small village with not too many people lingering about.

~AvenStace lifts a branch up for me to step under, smiling.I'm not sure how I managed to let him convince me to follow him out into the forest in the dead of night. Maybe it's because the thought I laying in darkness alone is terrifying, so this is a welcome distraction from dark, inescapable thoughts."How are you feeling?" he asks softly.We have avoided the conversation the entire walk."Confused. Scared this isn't going to work," I admit. If I catch a

~AvenIt's dark when our feet touch the ground again.The icy burn of the winter wind vanishes, replaced with a different kind of chill. The air is so fresh my head spins for a moment, scented with fresh pine. We are in a forest. It's dark, and not just because it's night time. Silky rays of pale moonlight struggle through the canopy, the few that get through casting dappled light across the forest floor.This must be Territory Four."I don't want to talk about it," I exclaim, pushing away from Stace immediately. Even if we have managed to escape,
Kissing Danger 32
~AvenI'm not sure why, but I can't sleep.Thoughts of Stace, my family back at home and my father who is apparently still alive haunts me as I toss and turn beneath my heavy blankets. Eventually the rattle of the train wheels against the track and the groan of the wooden carriages drives me to the point of near insanity, so I throw the covers off, dress more appropriately and leave my room.In the back of my mind, what the stranger mentioned to me today lingers, drawing me down the train to the common areas.Everything is vacant, the hour so late everyo
Kissing Danger 31
~AvenI barely make it into the next carriage before I catch sight of Eryk.He’s pushing through a small crowd, either oblivious to their irritated protests or he simply doesn’t care. I stop in my spot, frozen under his gaze. I’m tempted to back up and make for the back of the train, but he catches up to me far too quickly.“You can’t just run away like this,” he snaps, grabbing my forearm. I tug away, rubbing the tender spot where his grip was too tight.“I thought I saw someone I knew,” I mutter under my breath, falling into step beside him as we walk back the way he came from.He fro
Kissing Danger 30
I'm wary as I step out of my room this morning.My hair is done, brushed out and laid carefully over my neck to cover the reddish purple mark that stains my neck. I'm not excited to face Stace this morning and talk about what happened last night. I'm not even sure if I know what happened...All I know is that I lost my senses and allowed him to quite literally sweep me off my feet.Keeping my head low, I wander out from the private rooms and into the common areas, eager for a drink of something...Anything to distract myself long enough to avoid needing to go visit Stace's room."Can I just get a coffee?" I ask, sitting down at a small bar area, nestling between
