• THE STAGED ESCAPE ~RED I woke up with a start. My heart was pounding heavily against my chest. My intake of breath was heavy and I had to force myself to be calm again. Pain scattered across my body despite being placed on a bed. I groaned and I tried to sit up when warm hands forced me to
Aside from my sister and Esgard, the only person who had ever understood me was him. "I won't give up," I told him firmly. His smile never fell off. That was when the door came open and we were startled apart. I looked up to see Selene standing there. "It's time," she announced. My heart ski
I had successfully made it through the border when an arrow missed me by an inch. I gasped and turned to see a group of men I did not recognize. "Shit!" I muttered and began to run even faster as my heart pounded heavily. This was the perfect time for Nathan to react. Or those people were surely g
• AT THE ELEVENTH HOUR ~RED Darkness exploded before me. I could not see anything for the next few seconds that passed. Yet for some reason, I felt safe. Suddenly, the darkness was gone and I saw the men staring wide eyed at the one who had suddenly appeared before them. They had gone pale an
I finally had a better way out. Although, it did not look like things were going to work out in the end but I wanted to believe in it. It gave me hope and a zeal to keep living. "Get a doctor now! Where is the hybrid doctor?" Circe screamed. "You killed him, remember?" I muttered weakly as I t
Tania suddenly gasped and I widened my eyes at her reaction. She was not supposed to do this. "This cut is very deep and is getting poisoned!" She said instead and I relaxed seeing as she had fixed her screw up. "What will she do to fix the mistake?" She asked as she dropped her voice to a whisp
• HUMANE FEELINGS ~RAINBOW Our mind was in turmoil. I had always known that I cared about Red's safety but I never knew that even Circe cared too. I thought she hated her and could not wait to kill her. Yet here she was, pacing the outside of her chambers, waiting desperately to be told that R
It was probably the demons' doing or it was just the night. Circe was so lost in thought that she did not notice the apple that had suddenly appeared in her face. She blinked and turned to see little Tamara smiling at her. The girl looked so innocent in her bright smile and some of Circe's memor
EPILOGUE ~RAINBOW ~FIVE YEARS LATER~ I stood on the field, watching the world go by me. I was lost in thought, thinking about what happened that day. I could still remember it like it happened yesterday. It was the day that I lost and was also reborn anew. My wolf danced within my mind as I
Nathan released a heavy breath, and I saw the way he revealed the crystal dagger. "Wait," Issa suddenly called in alarm. "There's something you need to know." Nathan stopped and stared down at her. "This rune is set to detonate the moment I die as a defence mechanism to stop anyone from killing
"Watch me!" Nathan roared and suddenly charged forward with all his might. The fire lashed out at him and struck him like a whip. I gasped as I shot to my feet instantly, and Nathan groaned on the floor. "I will not give up on Issa. I can still save her from you." I watched as he rose to his feet
THE FINAL STORM ~RAINBOW My heart was pounding nervously as I watched Nathan enter the fog. I was restless, and I kept wishing that I could just run into the fog and help Nathan. Yet I had promised to say out. As Pyvia had said, I had a duty, and this was to keep my baby safe no matter what. I
I blinked softly at her. "You heard Nineveh. She can only mask the path for one person. She can't mask the path for a witch either, and you're part witch. You're also carrying our child. We can't do this together," I told her. She gritted her teeth, and I saw the fire burning in her eyes. "Who's g
They all exclaimed, and I watched as the colour drained from their faces. "The remnants of the demons are already in someone as we speak as the ritual for their resurrection is being carried out," I stepped in. Their mouths came wide open, they all glanced at each other, and I already knew the q
BEFORE THE END ~NATHAN I groaned as I landed hard on the ground. "Nathan!" Rainbow's voice reached me, but I was still in pain from her attack and how hard I had fallen. My wolf came alive, dancing with panic within me. Then I felt Rainbow's warm hands the moment she reached me. Tears were a
I released a shaky breath due to guilt and my tears resumed like a broken dam. "I'm sorry. . ." I cried exasperated, as I felt a heavy weight on my chest. Nathan stopped and examined my sorry state. "It's okay. . allow me to help you," he said instead with a tender voice. Rainbow had a worrie
"The world doesn't care about you. . .Issa," The voices came back. "No one cares how you feel. All they are interested in is what they get back from you in return. . . You give they take, that's how it is, and will always be. . " I began to grit my teeth in anger. "Just shut up!" I screamed as I
