Elizabeth
Object of Obsession
"They got away," Their voice said bitterly. I knew that they were upset about the recent string of events. And rightly so, they earned it. "She still lives. And her little friends."
"I understand, and share in your distaste, as well as displeasure honey." I soothed them. "Believe me, I am also not satisfied with the recent outcomes either."
"I've let you down, by allowing them to escape." They told me with disappointment. "I need to find them. I need to find Olivia."
"If its one thing that I have taught you honey," I was trying to ease her down. "Its to always expect setbacks. This is no different."
"But this..." they started and then stopped mid-sentence. "Even you have a bitterness to it."
"Go," I urged them. "I'll contact you if I need you again."
And like that, our conversation on the screen ended, and I lea
11When the Dust SettlesBrittany"WHAT you're saying is madness. It has to be."I heard Sam ask Freya, as she was starting to come around more, after her ordeal with Julian, and her own mental health breakdown. "Freya, it just can't be true.""It is my warrior." Freya replied. "You saw it yourself during her fight with your own mother.And...as she mentioned to you, that was just a fraction of her power." I watched them have this debate over Kait and the power she could possibly possess, and just how strong it was.And truth
12When Demons InvadeKaitlynI was being draggedby the castle guards after I had completed with my sword training and other weapons that day.As the flames around the room lit the stained glass underneath my feet, I resisted and tried to fight them off, even managing to break free once running towards the space I had called my room, before the sound of their armored boots clacked against the ground and eventually kicked me in the back causing me to stumble and fall short of where I was running.I had to get away.
13When Panic Sets InSamanthaI had asked Freya, as we had left the Casino about the twins; to see if they could become like me. If there was a possibility of turning them into Valkyries.Since at this point, I knew that the more numbers we had, there were better odds that could potentially shift in our favors."What you are asking Samantha," She hesitated, knowing the dangers. These weren't exactly treated as easy processes. Like me, you had to be trained all your life, and hope that you also carried the bloodline, or if you didn't that you were worthy enough to be a part of the
14Circle of SixBrittanyThe Drive to Vaughn's place was shorter than I recalled,however it was still refreshing since it had been quite some time since I had been here.During the ride, I was silent, allowing my thoughts to linger, which was potentially dangerous in a situation like this, yet Vaughn and I knew each other well enough that he didn't have to ask. He knew to keep his distance in my moments like this, even if he was worried.He knew that if I wanted to talk—to vent—that I would. It was how I always was. I never spoke up before I was ready. I never tr
15LaurenBraided Promises"Lauren, run!" My father shouted at me, through his panic and shock as he was trying to shoo me into taking cover from what had been happening. He was dressed in his battle armor, sword drawn and all. In his other hand, his shield, our family crest decorated on the front.The commotion outside—it only added to the intensity of skirmish that was unfolding before us. From the window, that was just a short space from our living quarters, I could see the starting sparks of a fire on our outside foyer. The flames, they were spreading out and burning everything in their way.The screams of opposing Vikings, becoming louder with each moment that was being taken from us. From every moment that was being taken from him.We didn't know why they had come here, or why they had launched an attack on us. Only that t
16Double JeopardyAlissaMad. She was downright mad, and her idea?It was also unequivocally insane.Although, I could totally fathom her rationale behind the idea, and wanting to trade places with Samantha, considering all the collateral damage that she had been through.Still, Kaitlyn's idea was completely ludicrous. While she was protecting Sam, she also was placing herself in total inherent risk. The damage that could have been wrought from this—we wouldn't know, until after the fact.
17 Dimitra When Thunder Clashes A Few hours after the girls escaped... Watching the girls escape with their lives, was the only good thing to come out of the past few hours. I begrudgingly was dragged by the other soldiers, Cameron, and Sydney, they called themselves, as they tried to parade me through their base, trying to do whatever sick and twisted things they had planned. Cameron was in front while Sydney was behind me while we went through a portion of the base that I hadn't seen before, but I knew one thing—I wasn't wanting to stay a minute.
18Lighting Strikes TwiceElisaRisking my sister was never my intention.It was never something I ever wanted to resort to, however as I had watched her work with Kait with such ease, and seen Kait break down the way she had, took me back to how I remember their relationship.It was deep, and meaningful, along with passionate and loyal.Mine was the same way with Sam. We had a deeply intense relationship, where we were equally passionate with each other, yet that didn't stop me from ever being a girlfriend to Kaitlyn.Ever.I made thi
One The Girl with the Peacock Hair Dimitria Oh Gods. They were going at it. Again. And no, I don't mean fighting—I mean that they were having sex. Loud Sex that, even from this pole that I was bound to, I could hear from this living room that they called a home. It had been almost a fortnight since Freya had brought me here, after seeing that I had lived through the hell that had transpired only a week prior. Kait had unleashed me, and Freya was totally disgusted by that fact. Freya hated that we had both ascended. This place looked like a tornado had hit it, destroyed everything in its path and then
Enter Stage Left Odin At the Fae Court I was walking through the thronesof the Fae Court, my body ached with pain from witnessing what had just transpired only a while ago. Never mind that I had also been fighting a war on another front, just as I normally do. War was in my blood. War was all I knew. However, this war—it felt different. In fact, it was entirely different. Whatever Elizabeth had been hiding and then scheming from us all these centuries ago, it was at a precipice, just waiting to explode and flood the world with her reign of Darkness.
Postlude Enter Stage Left Gender Neutral Voice Theyentered through a portalthattheymade with the magic they had. Dropping through it,theycould tell that a battle had been waged and quite possible won—by the right people whom withtheywere working with. Hopefully, Elizabeth had done her part and started exactly what she had said she would. Otherwise, this was going to be a dicey affair from here on out. Theirpeacock colored hair shone through the darkness of the place, even though it had been dimmed from the resulting fight. Theymade their way over to
34 The Last Recital Kaitlyn As the phone died from the call,the one thing that I never thought I would hear again—the one thing, that I thought I could forget about—reared its ugly head again, in the most prolific, as well toxic way imaginable. She was really trying to sink her dagger into my life, rip out my heart and kill me whichever way was most convenient to her. And while I knew that her other minions believed that I had died from the blast—Elizabeth was smarter person altogether. Her and Freya must have sensed this coming, and that was why she had made all her mov
33 The Night Before Lauren Without thinking,I snatched Alissa's hand and we both darted into my spacious bathroom that I also shared with Kait when she would crash and sleep with me. Yes, I had finally accepted that I had finally wanted Kaitlyn; that was back when we were together in Tombstone. However now, I felt l like I was doing a sin by also wanting Alissa. I could hear Kit snicker on the other side as I still held onto Alissa. Something about her was mesmerizing. And I couldn't exactly decipher the why. Fuck that
32 Alissa Fluid Movements ∞∞∞ Kaitlyn Six hours earlier... Sitting at the desk in Lauren's room, I was doing everything I could to decipher the mysterious runic code that we had before us. The picture of the pedestal that had been in that hospital, still bothered my mind. Where did she get something like that? And how was even able to use it to commune with that mysterious person who looked like he lived on one of the other Nine Realms. I wasn't sure ofwhich oneit was.
31Non-BinaryElisaWe came down from the Bifrostlanding near the lawn again as I took sight of something. Turning my head, something to me, felt different.It was like I could sense another presence; or maybe I was sensing multiple people close to us. Even though on the way down Sam had managed to keep her cool in check, I could sense that she was completely unsettled. Something about what happened up there, what happened with me, and my sister had put her completely on alert. And until we got through this last stretch before us, I had this feeling that she would be ultra-protective around me and my sister. More so me since I
29 Samantha Souls in Transition I was still hanging on Kait's arm, trying to process, and take everything in, while also trying to be there for Erin, when I suddenly realized what I needed to do. When I realized that I had to have Freya honor her word and bless Elisa and Alissa with their birthright by becoming Valkyries. I owed them that much for them. It wasn't only for them—but Erik as well. However, as I found the will to detach myself and walk with everyone else back into the bathroom, I sensed it immediately.
30 Elizabeth Phase I: Metamorphoses She was in the back of the Ranger Rover, helplessly restrained and silenced. Tonight, one of two things would happen. One: Dimitria would forcefully embrace her life and be an extensive part of our cause that would only go deeper, as we pressed on. Or two: She would die, and her life would further fuel the fire of my plan. My Phase I. It had taken me a great deal to gather all the girls in place, during my life, since each one had arrive
