Luna linesย ย ย CHAPTER ONE: Finding the inkwell
โLeave me alone Josh!โ I say in an alarmed tone as I'm pushed against the wall. My face contorts in pain as my elbows collide with the wall. โShut the fuck up! We both know you want me, enough with all this sly acting.โ Josh says with a sneer on his lips as he leans closer to me. The pungent smell of alcohol emanating from him is enough to make me puke if I wasn't already disgusted by him. Life in Willowbrook Town is slowly becoming unbearable for me. The people's cruel nature was slowly getting to me. Their wicked words and derogatory statements cut through the pieces of my fragile heart. What's worse is that, I'm in no way to be blamed for my predicament. I was abandoned by my parents and family just a few months after I was born. The townspeople gave me away to the orphanage where I was brought up. The townspeople got it into their heads that because I grew up without my family, I don't deserve any respect or love. Almost as if it was my fault that I was abandoned. It got bet

Thank you very much.โ I say with a wide smile on my face as the shopkeeper packs up the inkwell. I've always been attracted to antiques โ things dating as far back as my birth. There's just something so rich and beautiful about the history of these items that I can't help but take them for myself. All my novels are usually historical fiction. My characters' love for each other transcending through time. I step out of the antiques shop, and I can't help but wonder why I haven't taken note of this shop before. I'm not too shocked though, considering the fact that I rarely leave my house. I'm always holed up inside my house. I breathe easier when I get closer to my house and realize that Josh is no longer anywhere close by. I don't waste any more time outside though, for fear that an evil bigger than Josh will jump out of the shadows and attack me. I lock the door behind me, rushing towards my writing desk where I carefully place the inkwell on top. I stare at it for a few minutes,

The first thing I notice when I open my eyes are the bright lights, and the second thing I notice is the strange figure sitting on the chair beside my bed. โYou are still here?!โ I murmur in shock as I recognise the person sitting on the chair as Lucien Blackwell.โWhere else would I be?โ Lucien asks with a smirk on his lips, and if I didn't know better, I would say he's laughing at my predicament. โI don't know! Stuck in my imagination or something! How are you real?!โ I ask in a frustrated and completely baffled tone as I stare at him the way one would stare at a lab rat. Lucien continues to watch me calmly as if he's already accepted this impossible reality. โThe Inkwell.โ He says simply, nodding to the object sitting on the desk, its surface gleaming in the light. I blink, still half-convinced that this is some bizarre dream. โThe inkwell?โ I echo, my voice wavering between disbelief and fear.Lucien nods again, his expression softening just a fraction. โYes. The inkwell you f

As I open my eyes once more, a sense of dรฉjร vu overwhelms me. Iโve been in this position beforeโthe disorientation, the dim light filtering through the blinds, the lingering scent of something metallic in the air. But this time, itโs different. The force that led to my losing consciousness feels like a distant memory, and all I can focus on is the sharp, cold clarity that now grips my mind.โHow are you feeling?โ Lucienโs voice cuts through the haze, a steady anchor in the storm of my thoughts. His tone is calm, but thereโs an undercurrent of tension that makes me uneasy.โIโI donโt know,โ I stammer, my voice small, fragile. Itโs the first time Iโve felt truly unsure of my well-being since this whole ordeal started.Lucien moves closer, his presence comforting in the way a storm is both terrifying and awe-inspiring. His hands rest on my shoulders, the warmth of his touch grounding me as he gently pulls me into a sitting position. He hands me a glass of water, poured from the pitcher

โWhat the hell is that?!โ I ask in an alarmed tone as I take a shaky step backwards out of fear. Lucien doesn't respond as his eyes peruse the symbol on my door. His expression is unreadable as he crouches low, his fingers tracing the carvings on the door. The marks seem to come alive beneath his finger, as I'd they have a will of their own. My stomach churns with a mixture of fear and nausea, the awful scent from the expired paint growing stronger until I can practically taste it at the back of my throat. โWhat does it mean?โ I ask, my voice barely above a whisper, the words tumbling out of my mouth before I can stop them. โThere are tracking sigils.โ Lucien responds in a clipped tone. โAncient magic used to find objects of power. They've marked the inkwell and by extension, you.โ โWho marked it?โ I ask in a worried tone as my eyes flit back to the symbols on my door. โI have no idea. It could be the Obsidian Order, or it could be the inkwell creating a connection with you, I'm

I could see the silhouette of Lucien on the chair in my room. He was convinced my life was in danger, I was too. Earlier, after the strange sounds I heard on my front door he had refused to leave my side. He said they were watching, watching me, watching us.The thought of being watched sent unpleasant chills down my back, it made me feel anxious. I pulled the duvet above my shoulder to cover my face, like that was going to block their gaze from me but it wasnโt me they were after, they were after the ink well.If it was the ink well they were after and not me I had suggested to Lucien that I should just let them have it but he did not agree to my idea. He said something so powerful should not be left in the hands of evil, he had already told me what they intended to do with it. I couldnโt let that happen but I was too scared, how could I possibly fight against them.How did I get myself entangled in such a mess. Why did I go into the strange looking shop, why did I buy the

Lucian stretched his arm across the table to grab the mug , I watched his muscles flex. His arms looked so strong, I couldnโt help but wonder how strong his grasp would be around me. Curses Emma, where did your principles go? I forced myself to focus on break fast. I grabbed my mug and took a sip of the coffeeโI donโt drink coffeeโ Lucian said with a blink face.โWhat, what do you want then?โ I asked annoyed.โTeaโ he said leaning into the chair making it to stand on only two legs.I donโt know why I didnโt refuse making him tea, I grabbed the cup of steaming hot tea and walked to the table. I placed it gently on the table to prevent it from spilling over, I then reached out for the mug, it was empty, why was it empty?โWhere, where is the coffee?โ I asked confused โwhy is the mug empty?โโI drank itโ he answered shrugging his shoulder while chewing his toast.โI thought you donโt drink coffee โ I was already getting irritated.โWell while you were in the kitchen I changed my mindโ

I was boiling with rage. I have had it with this place and their barbaric actions and non acceptance. I slammed the door of my house shut and limped to my writing desk, I was going to give them a taste of what they deserve.Without hesitation I drew out the pen from the Inkwell and started writing.I wrote little things like Mrs. Rose the flower shop owner for all her flowers to die, for John the baker all his pastries to burn, Juliet the moodiest for all her laces and organzaโs to be stolenโฆ I was pouring out all my pent out anger and frustration on the little piece of paper on my desk. I was starting to write things a little too wicked and it was unlike me, this wasnโt who I was, the disappearance of Lucien has taken a greater tow on me than I realized. I laid my head on my table and sobbed silently.I havenโt known Lucian long enough to feel this much pain but I guess a lonely girl could easily get attached to anyone who seemed available.I was really hoping that this past couple o

Luna linesย ย ย CHAPTER 105
LILITHโS POV My life seemed to have upended, I sat in my lair and slowly watched, watched how everything came crashing down. I stayed low and watched how everything that i had built with my blood, sweat, and tears came tumbling down.And the realisation that I had failed my own people attacked me, such force that held me captive.The blood curling screams and painful grunts always found its way to my ear every darned time, reminding me how much I had failed. But I wasnโt going to just sit here and watch my life crumble like this, I was going to fight.And fight I would. But first, I needed to keep my shadow safe, keep it safe because fucking Lyra would have known.Known that the only way she could kill me was by trapping my shadow first, and if at all I was going to go down, I had to do that with a fight.โSo, what do you suggest?โ My shadow asked, a huge smile plastered across her face as she stared right back at me.โI suggest we fightโ I whispered slowly, gently rubbing my templ
Luna linesย ย ย CHAPTER 104
TANESHAโS POV I could taste the blood in the air, blood wrenching cries polluting the already still air, several screams and cries cutting across each other.The fight had lasted for two nights, and three mornings to be precise, blood flew freely across the fields, several bodies sprawled across the field.โCome Tanesha, we donโt have business here. This part of the field belongs to the werewolvesโ Mother called gently, her dark gown billowing against her as we made our way to where our kind stood, their black cloaks forming a dark cloud as they waited patiently for us, their dark eyes ripping through mine.โShe isnโt one of oursโ a brawny witch hissed, her dark orbs shooting daggers at me.โShe is our only path to salvationโ Mother replied, her slender finger wrapping my bicep protectively.โThe resistance would be here soon. All you need to do is stand by us no matter what. It is an order Taneshaโ mother gritted harshly, her smooth voice made my heart swell with pride.โSure momโ

BRIANโS POV Fucking hell yes, finally I could taste the victory on my tongue, I could smell it, I could feel the power running through my veins in torrent. If this is what Victory finally felt like, then I was thrilled with it.โWhat do you think Lilith would do with this oneโ Andrea spat bitterly, tipping her head towards a worn-out verity. โFinish her off, I guessโ I muttered through gritted teeth, her sunken eyes casting a lazy glare at me, all I wanted to do was shove her fucking tongue into her mouth, and make her choke on the darned thing.โAnd she?โ she asked again, her broody orbs taking in Emmaโs unconscious form, her facial features too relaxed for her own good.โI have no ideaโ I muttered slowly, rubbing my chest slowly to fucking calm my raging heart, I wasnโt supposed to feel this way.โWe are homeโ Andrea muttered slowly as the horde ball made a descent towards the fields, a great feast already setting in motion as people hurriedly came to welcome us, their mouths pl

EMMAโS POV I felt half of my memory freeze, no matter how hard I had tried to remember the last event that had happened, I couldnโt. I couldnโt feel, couldnโt see, and worse Lyra and Caspian werenโt here, I remember pulling them through the portal, I remember following them closely behind, remember the argument I had with Lyra in the portal I could still feel her harsh voice ringing aggressively in my ear, before that crazy sound tore into us, separating us.โWelcome homeโ A sultry voice called out, several pair of orbs staring right back at me immediately I had tumbled into my own house.Only that my house didnโt look like it belonged to me any longer, like I was the stranger in my own home.Like I was the outsider looking in.โStay back Emmaโ Lucien growled, making his way to my front, protecting me.โI assured you to hold onto your sanity a little while longer, didnโt I?โ Mordecai cackled, her masked face crinkling up to show a wide smile. She was sitting on my damn couch, and
Luna linesย ย ย CHAPTER 101
LILITHโS POV I knew the moment I stepped out with Luke, the crazy dimwit would start their little coup, planning how to send the qiรกn jฤซn yuรกn to Greisha, what they didnโt know was that along with Greishaโs death came their own downfall.That was just how life worked, I couldnโt forgive betrayal, and they had betrayed me one too many times, and once I finally found a way to cut the string that bound me to Verity, I was going to cut her off.I couldnโt stand the stench of traitors, they irked me, I mean If you wanted to be bad, you had to remain bad to the very fucking end.This wasnโt a Gatsby story where one had a change of mind, and suddenly realised that they wanted to do good things. No, this was fucking real life.โLukeโ I spat bitterly, not missing the slight look of fear that flitted across his face. โYes maโam?โ He replied, avoiding my gaze at all cost.โFind out where Tyrone is, I am giving you just two days, two days, or I would seal your faithโ I sneered lowly, enjo

LUCIENโS POV I could feel hot coals burning the back of my eye, the people of St. Montero were just so mean. I mean, they had a fire beneath their eyes that scorched one, turning them into fucking grit and rubble.The past forty eight hours that we had spent in here, we had managed to garner a lot of hatred, and I am not even joking, a whole lot.Some had even sent us away with several curses, their eyes snickering with Anger.โHow the hell are we going to find Lyra now, they donโt even want to have anything to do with usโ Emma whined, her eyebrow scrunched in frustration as she sat helplessly on one of the wooden benches that lay scattered across the meadow that led up to the heart of St. Montero Our haven for now, that is if theyโve not yet sent guards down here. I wondered how someone so sacred in books, was treated like filth or rather a curse was disturbing.The harsh orange sun scorched us blindly as we helplessly gazed far away wasnโt even

LILITHโS POV Anger,I felt it before it even materialized, the thought of blowing the head of everyone seated on this table into tiny fucking bits and pieces swirling through my head. Their downturn lips infuriated me a whole lot more.โWho made the darned orderโ I asked a little bit calmly this time, my whole head sizzling in anger.โNobody, Nobody is saying anythingโ u seethe, trying to block the jumbled thoughts playing in my head.โTrisha issued the order, maโam, and we went through with it,โ Luke from I T finally replied, hisses and sneers accompanying his reply.โYou know what you guys have done, youโve made us enemies with earth, did you see the news, did you see how Tyrone was going after our fucking headsโ I shrieked, looking round the table, the remorse on their faces stifling.โWell since you all laid your fucking beds, I think you should all lie on it, The resistance would not fucking stop Because we murdered one of theirs and captured another, and what did you do? You
Luna linesย ย ย CHAPTER 98
EMMAโS POVย It took four days before we finally got to St. Montago, the sea had been brutal thrashing us in its turbulent waves, I had fallen ill during the journey, so I was finally glad at the feel of dry land, my whole body still sore from being in one position all day long.โDO you need to rest? Thereโs an Inn here; I suggest we rest; St. Montero isnโt far from here,โ Lucien said, his big, burly figure caving in with exhaustion.โWhy donโt we go to St Montero today, board an Inn, and tomorrow we look for Lyra?โ I suggested, pulling him slightly over the noisy Market, several stall owners calling out to people passing by.โWhy Emma?โI donโt think it is safe here, Lucien; I saw hordes here when we shot down from the boat earlier,โ I whispered harshly, gently looking around for anything suspicious.The street teemed with several people as they each went about their business, their noses buried deep inside whatever it
Luna linesย ย ย CHAPTER 97
EMMAโS POVย The whispers just wouldnโt stop. They thawed away at my head, each harsh whisper filling up every hole and crevice of my whole body, not even when I was falling through the unknown with a certain speed that no man on earth could ever beat.ย Each harsh whisper drilling the wordsย Hunt, maim, and kill in my ear as we dropped down,ย making sure I didnโt leave Lucienโs embrace, a smokeless cloud hanging over us as we fell rapidly through the portal with a loud thud, the desert sounds flying into our mouths as we rapidly tried to spit the sands out frantically.ย The humid air clung onto us frantically as Lucien carried the knapsack that was filled to the brim with supplies across his back.โSo this is itโ I muttered dreadfully, staring at the vast lands that laid before me, the current of the horde island, reaching far into this place.โWe need to move fast, Emma, I felt the presence of the obsidian order while we wer
