2024-10-29 19:42:56With a deep frown marring her face and her arms folded across her chest in deep thought, Anna stared down at at Eleanor's body, laying on the bed.
A body that had only taken its first inhale of air, exactly 3 minutes ago. It breathed only three minutes ago, but her heart had been steadily beating for 7 days. Anna had seen a lot of things but she had never seen a heart function without oxygen.Eleanor had been sitting somewhere. It was dark everywhere but, she was sitting somewhere. She didn't know how she knew but she was sitting. In darkness. A very comfortable darkness. She could feel the breeze. She could feel the peacefulness of wherever she was but she couldn't feel her body. She just sat there, enjoying the bone deep comfort she felt. She couldn't say a single thing about the place. How it looked like or how she had gotten here. How she could feel everything but her body. She couldn't tell. All she knew and felt was peace.Eleanor felt her chest expand as she

Eleanor sat up with a yawn and stretched as the moon cast a friendly glow on her dark room. She looked around, disoriented. Why was it dark? She reached for her phone and let her eyes adjust to the bright screen so she read 10:58pm. Ten? She'd only fallen asleep around 2 in the afternoon. She looked to her phone again and realized that she had 3 missed calls.... All from Andreas. Ohhh! He'd promised to call her. She sighed and rose her hands to scratch her eyes when another question popped in her head. Where was Anna. She got out of bed and after managing to stand straight without tripping or just simply falling over for the third time, she found her way to the living room, where she found Anna sat on a couch, going through a magazine. Anna turned to watch Eleanor sit and drop her head onto her shoulder. She placed a kiss on her head and asked,"You okay, child?"Eleanor yawned and nodded, "Yup. I'm so tired.""I made some food. Do you want some?""Yaay. Food." S

Eleanor was sat with her knees raised in front of her and a smile dancing on her face as she watched the Lake. So beautiful. So so beautiful. The peace enveloped her as the warm breeze kissed her skin. The ripples of the water created a dashing image of the moon as it sat high and proud. Ever glowing and ever knowing. Eleanor closed her eyes and smiled as the first drop of rain hit her upturned face but that smile soon turned stale as her ears picked up on a sound. Her head whipped to the left and she saw shadows that took up the entirety of that part of the forest. She slowly rose. She began to move towards the right but halted as the image of lurking figures greeted her. She almost lost her footing in her shock but managed to catch herself in time to see the crawling creatures up ahead, sneering and growling into the night sky, laying in wait. There was no where to go. Quickly, she turned to face the water and even then, a mist danced above the waters. A mist with th

While Eleanor spent the rest of the whole day turning the diary in and out, over and over again, trying to find a new clue and re-reading the whole thing, looking for a hidden text or something, Anna went to the shop to get some "Important stuff."By the time Anna returned, it was 8pm and Eleanor was passed out on the bed, exhausted. That night, she dreamt of things that were unclear. Places that were unfamiliar. Images that blurred. In everything, she couldn't shake of the feeling of terror that accompanied her through everything. By the time she woke, she was frustrated and sad. She was half expecting Kolan to make a stop but he never showed up. She prayed, brushed her teeth, showered, dressed in a crop top and sweat pants, and went to make breakfast. She was flipping her third pancake when Anna showed up behind her and handed her the stone. They ate and decided to relax out on the porch. The sunlight and gentle breeze, combined with the calm of the lovely forest before her,

1802John stood still as he saw it happen again. On the surface of the Lake, there was a figure. A figure, trapped behind a barricade, moving round and round, chanting, then it would try to step past it but the barricade didn't let it through. He rose a hand to wipe his eyes but when he looked again, he saw the same thing happen over and over again. He looked around and looked back at the Lake and still saw the exact same thing. He began to laugh. He laughed so hard, the creature got tired of simply ignoring the noise, and looked up to see who the noisy Mortal was.It watched the Mortal laugh at absolutely nothing and tilted it's head to the side. What madness was this? John looked at him."Aha! You must also think I'm mad. I think so too.""You can see me?" Shock laced his voice.John stopped laughing and began to shake his head."No. No, you're all in my head. This isn't real."It was the figure's turn to laugh and it laughed with so much gusto

Eleanor, the dim stone-"Anna started."I didn't see it work, doesn't count." She quickly dismissed."But you did see it kill Zayn and Zimri." Andreas pointed out."Well, it's a stone and from the way you describe it, a very powerful stone. It must hate their kind even more than I do so it just helped me out.""Bella, the stone doesn't have an actual mind of it's own. Power called to power and it awoke at your touch. Your panic pushed it to destroy because In your mind, you wanted Zayn dead so you projected your wish.""Wh- of course I wanted it dead, did you see that thing?! I'm not your prophesy child, I'm sorry.""Okay, how about why they aren't able to kill you?" Anna asked."I have Jesus!"Anna sighed, "Eleanor,""And-" she continued, "- he protects me everyday. Besides, they probably haven't sharpened their knives yet."Andreas rolled his eyes and shot her a look. She glared at him, grit her teeth, then grudgingly turned to Anna

Andreas gently stood, careful not to jolt too much and disturb Eleanor as she slept. He made it through the window and lay with her on her bed. He chuckled when she snuggled into him and shoved her face in the crook of his neck, and her body into his. She'd fallen asleep right after she'd explained everything about Maxwell Black. That fucker thought he was smart? He wanted to play? Well game on. He pulled out his phone and sent a quick text.Eleanor exhaled as her eyes came open. She blinked and yawned, then stretched."Ouch."She quickly retracted her hands and looked up to find Andreas' greens looking back at her."Andreas?" A look of guilt appeared, "I fell asleep on you, didn't I? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."He smoothed her hair back, to observe her face. Her face was blotchy with dried tears and sleep, but she still looked very cute to him."Feeling better?"She nodded and sighed, "Thank you. For staying with me."He rose a brow, "Wha

After receiving a call from Anna saying that she was headed to the shop and would be back by tomorrow, Andreas and Eleanor made their way back to Eleanor's. They got to the door and Eleanor didn't want to let go of Andreas' hand. She didn't want to be alone, having had a full house earlier. Andreas looked down at her."Be sure to close the door when you go in."She looked up at him and nodded."What's that look for?"Her eyes drifted from his eyes, down to his lips, back up to his eyes, then his lips, before she looked away and muttered a quiet, "nothing."A smirk began to form on his lips, "You want something?"She bit her lip, thought about it, then decided to just spit it out. She looked up at him and whispered, "Don't go."His brows dipped, "You're scared?"She gave out a sigh, "I..." And looked away.He held her chin and tipped her face upwards, "You're fine.""But..." She huffed and averted her eyes. He dipped and pecked

Eleanor tiredly opened her eyes as she felt herself being carried and saw... The moon? She tiredly blinked and looked again. The night sky.Andreas' face came into view."Go back to sleep." he whispered as he carried her through the forest."Hm? Where are we going?""My house. You don't want to be alone and I have to go home to prepare for something. Go back to sleep."She yawned and let her tired eyelids drop.Andreas walked out to the living room to Leo, Nick, Anthony and Alexandra. As he passed by her, his flesh welcomed goosebumps as a certain feeling went through him. He looked at her carefully and she smiled up at him."Good morning, sire." Anthony greeted as they all bowed. He nodded once and sat.Leo rose a brow.Andreas rose a brow back."You look refreshed.""Of course he does, he's waking up by 9:45am. The rest of us have to be up by 6 and patrol and stuff." Nick answered.Andreas rolled his eyes. Alexand

Andreas walked into the house at around past 6 p.m. and headed straight for the bedroom. Eleanor had banned him from leaving the office before due time, assuring him that she was okay and requesting that he focus on work. After that, she'd said nothing to him at all. Not even when he'd begged. She hadn't picked up his calls, nor had she responded to his texts. His only consolation was that her sister had gone to her. When she'd texted him an hour ago telling him that she was leaving, he'd left the office immediately. He was home a whole hour later.Traffic in New York was no joke. He walked into their bedroom, but didn't see her. Checking other rooms, he finally found her in his art room. She was standing in front of the painting of her he'd been planning to gift her with, in nothing but her bright orange lacy bra and panties. She turned to look at him and the look he saw on her face pushed sexy time to the back of his mind.He moved to stand behind her."It's very beautiful," she whi

11 Months later...."Calm down, baby."Eleanor sighed heavily. Pulling her thumb out of her mouth, she looked out of the window of the moving car. The original person who had bought the company from Maxwell Black was coming, and she had been told by Ramone that he wanted to see the lead editor and a few other writers. Her main worry was that he'd find something unsatisfactory and fire someone. Maybe her. Maybe some else. Her nerves were all over the place.She sighed noisily and licked her lips."I can't. I'm so anxious.... I think I'm going to throw up.""Again?" He asked with concern and pulled over. She bolted out of the car and bent over, heaving the nausea away. Moments later, she felt his palm rubbing her back."Are you okay? You haven't even had anything yet."She slowly nodded, feeling the nausea backing away. She'd been feeling funny for the past month, but had refused to go to a hospital. She didn't think it was serious. Just nausea, mid day dizziness, and constant tirednes

They finally made it to the theatre. Andreas marveled at the amount of people at the cinema, so late at night. Eleanor insisted on buying the tickets and to stop her from shocking him as she so vehemently threatened to, he let her. They got into the packed hall and got a seat at the back. Right before the movie started, Eleanor stood, rasping out,"I have to pee. Be right back." She kissed his cheek and ran for the bathroom. She returned four minutes later with a certain look on her face."Ciccino?" She called."Hmm?""Do you know what gaping is?"Andreas gave her a recoiling frown. "Where did you hear that?""Don't be so obvious, but look there," she discreetly pointed to his right."See that dude with the black jacket and brown hair?""The one talking to a lady?""Yeah. He said it to me."Andreas turned back to her. "How?""I was coming out of the female restroom and he was stood right in front of it. He tried to talk to me and as I was trying to avoid his hands, he said I'd look

3 months laterAndreas and Eleanor got out of the car in front of Eleanor's house in New York.Her wounds had healed somehow. They hadn't told her how, but they had thoroughly scolded her on who to save, and what the word 'enemy' meant. After that, she had not been allowed to do a lot. She could only eat, sleep, and squirm away from Andreas' glare whenever she tried to do more. Now, in her prediction, Andreas had been Anna.Faceless voice was over and done with.Somehow, Maloniah had survived.Klitanis had been released into the supernatural realm, but Maloniah and some of his demon friends had been taken into the stone. Andreas had proposed two months later. It had started off with Andreas taking her up to the roof, claiming to want to show her something. He had then sprouted huge white wings, and flown them up high."There are weirdly shaped trees that I think you would like to see."She instantly nodded, her eyes wide. Weirdly shaped trees? How weird?! He flew them to one that wa

"Fuck!" Andreas swore, gritting his teeth when his eyes met Alexandra's. Shaking the crawling pillagers off him, he sprouted wings and flying up, took two lycans with him. Crushing their hands and feet partially in anger and in a bid to end their thrashing, which just resulted in one of them biting into his thigh-which he ignored-he flew over to Adrastos.Dropping the more violent lycan and watching it's hands flail before it's skull cracked open against a rock, he turned to face Adrastos."Alexandra is here."Adrastos' eyes widened. "What!?""She's here! Who set her free?!""I don't know, my king-""Find whomever did it and bring him or her to me.""Do I get her off the battleground?"Andreas cussed. It would cause a distraction. A distraction that they couldn't afford."No. Not yet."While Adrastos shouted, annoyed at the lack of common sense possessed by a few of his kind, Andreas turned to descended. That was when he saw William.

Tension brewed within the group.They approached Eleanor's place and true to their words, in the distance, they saw figures approaching. Getting to the front of the house, they stood.Waiting.Eleanor was more impatient to see if what Esmeralda had given her for her eyes would work.Contact lenses.Esmeralda had explained to her that the eyes of the Fourth spirit held horrors unknown to men. Torture, sadness, anger, bitterness, shame, tranquil torture, hate, you name it, they were all there. They all strove for dominance in his eyes and If she looked really close, she would see them all, fighting with their hypnotizing trade marks on their backs. Looking into his eyes drew out some form of reaction. Be it fear, surprise or even curiosity, it drew out a reaction.An emotional reaction.That was what granted him access to the soul. He needed a reaction as an opening to enter and the lack of a reaction served as a barrier to his entrance. That was

Eleanor awoke to find herself in his realm. The supernaturals hadn't taken lightly to Esmeralda being in their realm. Some leaders were rather shocked, now seeing Eleanor as the ticket to somehow drawing their once peaceful creatures back from the Fourth spirit. Eleanor was cool with it... Till she found out that some planned to kill them for betraying them.She also found out that Daphne had willingly joined the Fourth spirit because Alexandra had tricked her.Also, the supernatural kingdom was carrying out a sweep to seek out betrayers and liars.So much was happening. Esmeralda- who once upon a time was Anna's friend- had told them all of the Fourth spirit's mode of attack, plans, thoughts, changes, the time that was best for him and back up."How can we even trust her!?" Shouted a rather annoying supernatural leader for literally the fiftieth time.Everyone either groaned or shot him aggravated looks, telling him to shut up.He was

It had been an added week with her in the realm of the supernaturals, and she'd found out a bunch of things.One, Everyone looked at her with starlit eyes after finding out that she was the child prophesied about, and she wasn't liking it.Two, Garion like liked her, and was pretty bummed out that she was Andreas' mate, but was happy for them, nonetheless.Three, Daphne had gone missing. She'd only found out when Anna had said it to stop her from asking any more questions, because apparently, she couldn't say exactly what she saw because it would "disrupt things".Four, Faceless voice's witches couldn't see into Andreas' realm.Five, there were portals everywhere, like the one in Lake Creek.Everywhere.She could go anywhere in this world, as long as she found the right portal. Just, what would she say if she ran into a foreign police officer who asked for something she forgot to bring along? Say a passport or an ID card? That

"Deitalyn-" Eleanor turned in the direction she'd seen Deitalyn go off in, but saw Andreas.Andreas!"Even better!" She got off the bed and rushed to him."If I accept that we're soul mates, I'm accepting to a marriage?"His brows dipped at her troubled expression."You don't want to get married?""No- I mean yes, but not right now. We still have to fight faceless voice and kick his crusty old butt!" She enthused, making wild hand gestures."I'll get injured because I'm just like that, and besides, it makes it all the more cooler, walking out of battle in leather pants and thick smoke behind you, with blood dripping down your face, and a sword or something in your hand."Andreas rose a brow."That's just how it's done, son!" She threw out.Andreas fought the urge to slap his forehead."You'll be doing stuff too. I'll have to tend to my injuries and knowing me, it'll take weeks! Knowing Anna, I'll get food shove
