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 AnnaRelated chapters

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 noticed a shift in Eleanor's mood. It had started after the cotton candy escapade. She wasn't as vibrant anymore and from the way Leo leaned in to speak in her ear with a frown on his face, he could tell that Leo noticed too. What could have caused it? He was looking for a way to get his arm out of Alexandra's hold but she wasn't letting up, as she continued pointing out things to him and randomly speaking. Eleanor took lazy step after lazy step, suddenly not feeling giddy anymore. Her mood had just deflated. Could it have been because of the cotton candy and--Nah... Or because of Alexandra and her animosity towards her? Could that have affected her mood? Whatever it was, she definitely didn't like it. She was still caught up in her head when a hand held hers and she turned. The guys walked ahead while Andreas stared down at Eleanor."What's wrong?"Her shoulders moodily rose and fell in a careless shrug, "Nothing."He sat on the forest floor. She frowned down

Anthony extracted the energy his feelings passed out, turned it, and channeled it at him. The demon screamed so loud, Eleanor's ears began to ache."Stop," Will's voice weakly pleaded. "Please stop. I beg you, stop."Anthony stopped, "Push him forward.""I don't know how." Will sobbed."Then we're going to have to do it for you." Alexandra said, stepped up and spouted raw fire. Eleanor couldn't believe it. Wait-fire?! Will's eyes widened."Stop!" Eleanor yelled but Alexandra focused the fire on Will. Anna looked away as Will's skin sizzled. His screams were of pure agony. Eleanor whipped around to face Andreas,"Stop her! Tell her to stop!"She turned back to face Alexandra, "I said stop!"Alexandra continued without a hitch. Unexplainable rage built up in Eleanor. She grit her teeth and angrily whipped around to face Andreas. She saw remorse cross his face but she didn't care. That just made her angrier. She turned back to Alexandra and out o

She gently cupped his cheeks,"Liam?"His eyes kept fluttering but his gaze finally focused on hers,"Thank you.""I am so sorry."He slowly shook his head and rose a shaky hand to hold hers, "You didn't know.""He made you carve into yourself." she said in anguish. That image won't leave her for a long time.He managed to look down at his body and a frown coated his brows as he found that his body was completely void of scratches, then he looked at her,"What is going on?"She inhaled deeply, "I'll tell you later, right now, you need to rest."Leo and Anna approached them and began to help her raise his weak body. They had managed to get his arms around their shoulders when fire shot at Eleanor's feet, blocking her path. Her eyes darted to Alexandra,"What is this?""Explain yourself." she demanded.Everyone else was confused, including Eleanor who was that, and getting angrier by the minute."Excuse me?""E

Andreas felt her body accept the air, only to give it back once he pulled away. The only reason he kept trying vigorously, was because that little spark kept breaking through the haze to meet him. Anna came rushing out with a small wooden bowl and Andreas positioned Eleanor's mouth but it kept pouring out. Anna tried massaging her throat and only a little got in but the rest poured out."Louise, i don't know the cure for wolfsbane." Anna admitted somberly. "Her body isn't taking this one in, I don't know-""Her body recognises me." He spoke up, not taking his eyes off Eleanor's face. "What if my blood is added?"The room went deadly silent."Andreas, you can't do that."He heard Alexandra's voice and had to make a quick decision between staying with Eleanor or lunging for her. He inhaled deeply, ignoring her."Anna?""We-well, uh... With you being her man and being who and what you are, that would definitely help her a lot, but she doesn't know you

Knowing she was being followed, Eleanor whipped around and found Andreas. Exactly the man she wanted to see. She smiled up at him."Question and answer time."He knew it was coming."Tell me why she almost killed Liam and you did nothing about it."He slowly exhaled, trying to tread with caution."We didn't know that there was a way to get the demon out, without Will getting killed afterwards.""Who's we?" She crossed her arms."Anthony, Nick, Leo, Alexandra, and I.""Okay. So, you didn't know there was a way. Did you know that whatever you were doing to him, even if he was going to die afterwards, was causing him an extremely painful death?"Andreas' sigh answered for him."Yes.""And you still did it?""Yes.""Why?""We needed to get the demon to come out.""So, in other words, if Alexandra had burned him to death, you would have just gone with it?"He opened his mouth, shut it and opened it again,
