2024-10-29 19:42:56After taking the herbal tea, her menstrual flow had darkened. When she'd told Anna, Anna had beamed and exhaled in relief. Apparently, the poison was finally leaving her system.
Eleanor spent her five down days talking to her parents, her sister and just basically resting. Andreas had been a real rock, throughout. She'd spoken with Liam three times before he suddenly stopped picking up or responding to her texts. He was probably too busy with work and stuff. Yeah. That was it. No need to worry. As soon as she stepped out of the room and Anthony smelt no blood, he engulfed her in a big hug and ran off with her. After giving him an earful, she had to hike her way back to the house, as Anthony had taken them into the forest. All Andreas did was watch with a raised brow. Sunday came and went. Her anxiety was building. She really wanted to go to the lab.
On Monday morning, after having breakfast and talking about what they were going to look out for, they left for the lRelated chapters

Dizziness assailed her. A fowl smell was let loose and it weighed heavily on her senses. She fought the urge to just lay there, and drew her eyes open. Familiarity... The familiarity of the room hit her and greeted her, even as she lay on floor. Why... Why would he bring her here? Her heart began to race as a certain dark feeling coiled within her. Bracing herself, she rolled over and was trying to stagger into a standing position when under the bed, she saw a small piece of something. It held the smell that coated the room. Pulling herself up, she saw little pieces of it everywhere. It was everywhere. She knew this place.... She had been here before! No.... No... Ignoring the thickness of blood on the floor, she began to walk towards the bed. She walked, begging for it not to be so. She took unsteady step after unsteady step, feeling the shake of her shoulders. Upon reaching the top of the bed, she saw brown hair. Gripping the sheets, she yanked them off and froze. On the bed

Hours turned to days. Andreas would go to the door multiple times everyday, and just talk, hoping that Eleanor would feel good enough to open the door, but it simply didn't happened. He'd gone around the house but she'd erected thick vines around the windows to block out sunlight and prying eyes. She hadn't eaten at thing but what worried him more, was that she hadn't spoken a word, not even mentally. The only thing that kept him going was the sound of her heartbeat that he could hear, thanks to his abilities. Sometimes, it would go faint but still, it was there.On the fourth day, he had began to think of breaking the door open ,when Anna came over and wanted to give it a try. After cajoling Andreas into leaving the house, she went to the shut door and began to talk. She stayed there for so long, she began to doze off on the floor.It was exactly 5:34pm, when she heard a click that snapped her out of her slumber. What was that? It sounded like a.... A door. Ri

"I... I don't know what to say.... Is that why Andreas... Disliked you?"Anna chuckled, "Don't butter it up, he hated me. He hated me so much. Heartbreak killed his mom, selfishness corrupted his dad and the only other man who showed him love? The venom of a vampire took him. For a long time, he thought I was still angry about being banished by my brother, I decided to punish his son.""I see he likes you now.""Yes. Only when he was bitten by a vampire did he finally realize that for you, the child prophesied about, to be the one to heal him, more so with the stone, there really was no other cure. Seeing how you basically died after that, he accepted it. That's the only reason he let me watch over you. Takes him to die to realize something? You have a real boulder on your hands." Anna joked.Eleanor was still reeling from it."I feel very bad for him, though." Anna suddenly said."Why?""All those years of hate... At the end, he found that all the

Eleanor spent the next three days in bed, eating, eating, eating, and when the sun went down, she went to bed and woke up the next morning to pray, then eat again. It was all she was good for. To swallow food like the days and nights were running out. When she protested, Anna would give her the stink eye and feed her more, only stopping when she was satisfied. According to her, she had to "gain that weight back."When she'd told Anna that the weight couldn't be gotten back in one go, Anna had respond with,"I know. That's why you will get it back in many go's."Eleanor felt like a ball. Only when she tried on her clothes and they were still loose on her did she finally sigh and let Anna feed her. For those three days, she hadn't seen Andreas. She had seen Nick, Anthony, Leo and even Alexandra, but not Andreas. No calls from him, no texts, not even mental messages. Nothing. Looking out the window, she saw that the sun was beginning to set.Looking to t

Andreas awoke the next morning to a weight across his back and something going through his hair. Casting his eyes downward, he saw a folded thigh. Sighing, he flipped over to find Eleanor, fingers deep in his hair, sitting astride him."What are you doing?" His rough morning voice coming through."Checking for bald spots," she said in a small voice, raising a hand to her cheek and looking away. Her guilt confused him. "Yesterday, when I... Uh... Gr..grabbed your-" she pointed, "-your hair..." and trailed off."Did you find any?"Her eyes rose to his, "Hm?""Bald spots, did you find any?"She hurriedly shook her head. "None. I'm sorry."Her humble look came across as very cute to him. It was rather endearing with her in her cartooned nightie.He watched her as she watched him. They both observed each other, thinking things about one another. Giving into temptation, Eleanor rose a hand and threw him a rather wary look as she moved it toward his

As her legs found their way out of the clearing, Eleanor found that her mind was calm. It was like her heart had off-loaded a large weight."Bella?"Turning to the direction of the call, she found Andreas sat on the ground, resting against a fallen tree. As she approached, he stood and as she went in for a hug, clinging onto him, he wrapped her up in his arms, welcoming her embrace. With no words exchanged, they remained in each other's arms."Liam's parents.... I don't know what to tell them," she whispered."I already took care of it. Leo and Anthony went to his parents. Told them he fell sick. Only his brother knows about the demon that possessed him. We let him think that's what killed him."Nodding, Eleanor pulled back and looked up at him."You ready to go home?" He asked.Home.Nodding, she took his hand and pulled him along. Eleanor went quiet as they found their way back but Andreas didn't mind. As soon as they got to the house,

Noticing almost immediately that Eleanor was nowhere to be found, Andreas decided to give it a few more minutes before stepping out. Instantly knowing where to go, he walked a few feet into the forest and stopped at a large oak tree. Looking up, he caught a glimpse of her, sat on one of it's large branches with her back pressed against the large trunk."You didn't eat anything."He saw her wrap her arms around her legs before she responded with, "I'm not hungry," not sparing him a glance.With a sigh, he said, "You'll give yourself an ulcer."With a low voice, he heard her say "I'll rather I have an ulcer than be left, lonely."Feeling bad but needing her to understand, he let out a breath."Bella-""What do you want, Andreas?" She asked, looking down at him with sad eyes.Inwardly cursing, he began to climb. Eleanor watched as he situated himself a few inches before her, then turned her head the other way."I seem not to be

As they approached, the wide road began to divide into elaborate streets and corners with houses... Black dwelling places that looked like they sprouted out of the ground, flawlessly designed. It couldn't have been made of tar as it was too polished and looked breezed, but neither could it have been made of wood, as it was not the color of wood.... Maybe spray painted wood?Looking to Anna, she asked, "What are the houses made of?""A special material.""Oh."As Eleanor continued to look at the houses, she spotted something up ahead that caused her to pause, frown and look again. As they came closer, her eyes widened. The grandest mansion she had ever seen. It looked like it was spun out of pure gold. A building draw out of the Egyptian's architecture plan .Before she could soak up it's unbelievable splendor, she saw something else that caused her breathing to freeze in it's procession. The longest black figures she had ever seen were approaching th

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
Lake Creek Chapter 76
"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
