2024-10-29 19:42:56It was 6:36pm. Evening had fallen. They were all in Andreas' living room, when the stone appeared out of nowhere. She was kind of, sort of used to it...... okay, maybe she wasn't used to it, but she was more unused to it's glow. Why was it glowing. She looked up at Anna in question.
"There's a message, child."Eleanor looked back at the stone, "From the stone?"Anna shrugged, "Why don't you find out. Ask it."Everyone was looking at her. How does she ask it again?"Uh.... Hello?"The glowing continued."Klitanis?"'Hello, Eleanor. Lovely to speak with you again.'Deciding to try out the head/mind speaking thing, she took a deep breath and tried sending her thoughts.'Can you hear me?'Andreas and Leo looked at each other before looking back at her and nodding. 'My my. You have learnt how to mind connect. Well-done, Eleanor!' She heard Klitanis' voice. She smiled,'Thank you. How are you in there?''It's actuRelated chapters

Eleanor took in a deep breath... Then let it out and allowed her eyelids lift. Her eyes slowly took in the sunbathed room and a small smile formed. How lovely. Everything seemed so peaceful. Like a hammock set up on beach, with the soft breeze kissing your skin, while the seagulls called. It just felt so... So nice, y'know? The prefect combination of hot and cold. Her pillow seemed to agree as it went uuup and dooown and uuup and doown. She softly giggled. The giggling continued, till her mind went all 'Hey sun bather, pillows don't move, do they?' ugh! Way to spoil the fun. She blinked and noticed the neat dullness of the room. With a slight brow raise, she slowly looked up and met a calm, childlike expression, painted onto Andreas' face as he slept. She couldn't stop herself from staring. The man was a body of contrasts. His face was the epitome of calm and peace, but his body exclaimed dangerous strength and brutality. And his body heat? That washed off him in waves. He was very

Eleanor bounced out a while later, still wearing Andreas' shirt, but with her trousers underneath. She went to stand in the middle of the small group of boys and girl and smiled. Alexandra rose a brow at her and a grimace took a seat on her face. She scoffed, then suddenly froze and shot cautious eyes in Andreas' direction, before quickly looking away. Eleanor didn't react. She had no reactions to give. She smoothed her palms over her hair."You ready for today?" Anthony asked.She nodded enthusiastically, "Yup!" Then she shot Leo a look that had him backing up."Don't even think about it, I'm not training you today."She planted her idle hands on her waist and asked,"So, who's my teacher today?"Nick stepped forward, "Tis I, Lord Nick, defender of the weak, devourer of the-""Ugh, save your drama for the theatre, Juliet." Leo rolled out.Nick turned and shot him a hard look. He was about to respond when Anthony said,"If the King comes

Eleanor allowed her eyes drift open. Looking around, she saw that she was laying in a bed as usual, but, instead of sunlight, the soft moonlight shone through the window, casting an ethereal glow unto the room."You're awake."She turned her head to the side and saw a figure sitting on a chair by the window. She blinked and squinted but could only make out a silhouette. The figure rose and began to walk towards her. Big and muscled, yet, she just knew it wasn't Andreas. It wasn't till he sat down on the bed beside her that she saw that it was Anthony. She gave him a tired smile,"Hi." And tried to sit up. He helped her sit with her back against the headboard before settling down again. She wrapped her tired arms around her raised knees and sighed."How long have I been out?""Three days.""So today's Saturday?"Anthony nodded, "Approximately-" he paused to pull out his phone "-8:52pm. How do you feel?""Beat." Eleanor chuckled dryly.Anth

After everyone had settled down to either watching TV in the kitchen or playing games in the living room, and the day had dwindled on into the afternoon with the 2:00pm sun shining forth, Eleanor alerted Anna that she was going home to change, got Anthony and left. Anthony walked her to her house, then went to his hotel.As soon as Eleanor stepped a foot inside the house, her phone rang. Mystery man."Hello?""Where are you?""At home.""Why didn't you tell me?""You were playing games.""Anna tells me you're going out.""Mm-hmm.""To where?""Ask Anna.""She's not telling me.""Oh.... I see." She strolled into her room."Where are you going?""To take a shower. It's funny how hot it is outside. The breeze-""Bella."She rolled her eyes. "Look, Anthony and I are coming back there to meet with Anna before we leave. I'll tell you then."She could feel him frown."Stop frowning.""I'm not fro

Andreas opened the door and walked out. Where was Eleanor? He'd woken up on the chair and she wasn't on the bed. She wasn't in the house, in fact. He let the early morning sun wash over his face, as he rose his head and took a big whiff. He followed her scent to a tree and stood there. She came to a tree? He heard shuffling coming from up top and exhaled.Of course.He proceeded to lie on the ground. He got comfortable and focused his eyes on the tree."What're you doing up there this time?" He called out."What're you doing down there?""Waiting for you to fall."Her eye roll was inevitable. He hastily caught sight of her legs before they disappeared. He remained there for a few more minutes, watching like an eagle for any sign of distress, before she came down. He sat up. Her hair was pulled up in a ponytail, her face and neck was wet with sweat, her chest was clad in a dark blue sports bra with a small cross bag trailing across and ending at her hip,

He was speechless. Try as he could, he couldn't formulate words.His eyes were stuck on the drawing on the notepad."You... You did this with thirty minutes?"She nodded."How...." He trailed off.She shrugged.When he said nothing more, and just stared at the page, she asked,"Do you like it?"Like it? It was, by far, the most outrageous thing he'd ever seen. It was horrible. His head was a circle on a stick with bubbles for eyes and talons for eye brows. His arms were sticks with little stones as fingers, his body was a crooked line with a series of bunched up circles as muscles, then his legs were overly shaded lines, making it look like he had cysts for knees, all rounded up with.... Were those pancakes? He squinted and looked closer. Oh... No. Those were his feet. To put it lightly... It was an eye sore."I definitely feel something for it." He said and looked at her with astonished eyes. One look at her face told him she was fightin

Eleanor lay like a starfish on the forest floor. It had been three days. Three whole days of training with Anthony and she had only just gotten some reprieve by throwing him off. Who knew emotions were so much work, even when brought into physical display? Turning back against him the emotional energy he got from her was a real strainer."One more round, stand up."Anthony said and went to pull her up. Eleanor groaned and muscled herself up.Three hours later....Anna left Eleanor in the bathroom and rushed out to get a kit. Eleanor pressed a hand against her stomach and took in laboured breaths. During training, while they were working on the force of anger, as she'd tried sending it back, she'd left one of her emotions unprotected and Anthony, being the emotion hog that he was, saw it and even while he was sent flying over a distance, shot something right back at her. Her fear. She was scared of so much. Who knew fear packed such a heavy punch? She looked d

Morning came quickly and the first thing Andreas did was to check in with Kolan. After being reassured that she was asleep, he cleaned up and went to Anthony, leaving Anna with Eleanor. Eleanor awoke but didn't move. She was still in wherever she was last night. She hadn't left. They were coming. They were coming for her. They would always come to snatch up whatever happiness she had. They would kill someone and leave it on her conscience. Someone was going to die... Because of her.... Unless she did something about it. Tell them? Does she tell them? If they know, they still wouldn't be able to kill her and yes, their attacks would become a lot more vicious and frequent but then again, it would save a life.... Or would it? Thinking back to everything she had ever heard and seen, read and felt about Faceless voice, he was mercilessly destructive. He didn't care who was or what was. All he knew was destruction and call her psycho, but she cackled. Kolan's eyes were on her but

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
