Hopeless"Do you have an idea of where we can possibly find them?" Elinor asked.The constant sound of water rushing tells them they are nearing a river now, and both had shifted to their human form to walk slower, and also to save some strength. Colin looked at her, "To be honest-" Elinor cut him short.She looked away, her eyebrows furrowed, she does not like to hear from him that he had no clue where to look for the twins. Denial seeped in every pore of her skin. If she were to ask Colin, she would ask him to lie. To not tell her blatantly that they do not have a solid place in mind, where the twins could be."No, do not be honest with me. I would rather hear you say something untrue to keep me from losing all hope," she bluntly said to Colin. She looked away, out into the vastness of the forest.It is only a matter of minutes before the day would break into light. They find it very unbelievable how they had been wandering aimlessly in a span of a night, and yet they managed to be
The AgreementTatiana was pacing in Conrad's study, biting her fingernails as she did so.Meanwhile, her husband was shaking his head at his wife's uneasiness because he could not understand what is it that she is being so worried about."Sit down my love, will you?" he finally said after getting tired of watching her.But his wife only snapped her head at him and continued to pace, her flowy lavender dress left Conrad entertained for they twirled at every step of his wife."What is it that has been troubling you, really?" he asked her again. Finally, Tatiana stopped her pacing. She now stood, her hands on her waist. She breathed a heavy sigh."Colin was out there, Conrad!""He is out there finding the twins, my love! I would do the same thing as a father, and you of all creatures should understand that," he tried to explain to his wife to calm her down. He does not like seeing her this troubled."I know, I understand. But as his mother, you cannot just simply tell me to not worry ab
His New MateFor the sake of her peace of mind, she made that agreement with Colin so that she would wait around for his return knowing he was not searching the forest alone and without company.Now, Elinor finds herself packing her bags again. But there were not many to pack. Inside her bag were just her two dresses, the blue and green dress, the very ones she had always worn.Bonnie was still in her cabin, she waited for her, and she was crossing her arms now as she watched her pack her dresses."I offered you to stay in my own room, which you refused because you want to stay in your mother's cabin instead. Now you are telling me that you will go to Colin's estate and stay there?" Bonnie's remarks.Elinor turned to her once she zipped up her bag and carried the strap around her body, "We made an agreement, Bonnie. I can't let him wander alone. And in return, he asked me to stay at his estate." She explained. Red locks swayed on both sides of her face."I don't think you'll like it t
JealousyBirds flapped their wings as they soured from the dense forest to the blue, cloudy sky. Down below, Colin was shifting into his human form. He had nothing else on to cover his upper body, so the small cuts were visible. His body was filled with it after days of searching the forest, going camp after camp with nothing else to protect him from insects and gaping small branches.He was out of breath, and his throat was dry from the thirst that he had endured since last night.It’s time to go back. An inner voice told him.He swallowed but there was nothing to keep his mouth moist. If he will not turn and go back to his estate, his dead body might be feasted by insects and other lurking creatures.Bending down low, he sat below a tall tree. He rested his head which was greasy, and closed his eyes for a while.Elinor and he had made a deal, yes. That he will not wander to Kaylock without company. And he agreed, but on the condition that she will stay in his estate. He is sure Bonn
Scared ManIt happened pretty quickly. Before her eyes, Elinor could not prepare herself to even move to her feet and act. She froze, and could only stare down her feet where Suzanne was.Covered in mud, her brown hair was in a total mess from its once neatly tied bun. She lift her upper body to the ground to check her elbows which were swelling and were grazed.“You have gone so quiet, what is it?” Bonnie said to her earlier when they were still up on the balcony, she had just turned her back so as not to see the meeting between Colin and Suzanne.“It is nothing, Bon. I was just thinking about the twins,” she said. It was not entirely a lie. She did worry about them all the time. But she left the part where she felt a heavy pull tugging at her heart seeing Colin and Sue.Bonnie’s face was unreadable most of the time, but at that time, her nose crinkled at Elinor. She saw her look over her shoulder and then looked at her again.“You still got love for him, I see. I can see through you
Her ScentA calloused hand gripped Elinor's hand, making her jolt in surprise and turn around to see Colin who looked out of breath, like he had been running, chasing after her."What do you think you're doing?" She hissed at him. Her eyebrows snapped, and irritation came across her green globes.Colin could not find an answer to her question because, in the first place, he had no reason to grab her hand like that. He just wants to hold her hand, that is all. Elinor twists her hand so she could take it off his hold. Colin squeezed it before her hand slips off."Why are you still here?" she asked him, eyes measuring him from head to foot."I am here to fetch Flynn and Rider, then we'll continue the search since we had made a deal," Colin explained.Elinor felt like lashing out at him. The way she sees it, Colin was not trying his best to find the twins. Anger stirs her insides, boiling deep inside. It is only a matter of another inconvenience before the monster in her will take over.
A Tea with the Luna"Why are we taking time?" The woman dressed in all black straightened her back on her seat as she asked in confusion at the man who was just as pale as her, who had eyes that were all black, standing by the open window, staring at the half-moon."Here we go again," the man said, sighing. He finds that there is no need for them to rush the captivity of Elinor and that sickly bastard uncle of hers who had the nerve to escape after making a deal with them.But technically saying, Ernest did not escape. They let him run and hide because it is more fun. Oh, the thrill, the chase, and knowing that in the end, The Spirits will get the last laugh, always."Stop it, Aurora. You sound nothing like us, calm and quiet. Tell me, do you not know how powerful you are?" The man looked over at his shoulder to look at Aurora.She crossed her arms, "I know. But we both know that a were-witch hybrid is far more powerful. We're lucky enough that Elinor was blind to her power. She is fa
GoodbyeShe rolled on her back, her hair was a mess, each curl intertwined with another strand as Elinor lay on the bed. She fell asleep long after she had that well-needed cry out in the backyard drinking tea with Tatiana.She pulled herself so half her body is leaning on the headrest. The small slit in the curtains tells her that it is already night. The faint moonlight seeped through the thin sheets of the curtain.A sense of alarm rushed inside her system. Remembering that tonight is Colin's departure, her heart was drumming inside her chest. A part of her was afraid and worried that she was too late and that Colin had already left before she could see him.Still wearing her nightgown, she jumped off her bed and put on a robe. She hastily tied the knot around her waist. Never minding the cold, she walked barefoot on the cold floor.She rushed to open the door, her one foot outside the door frame when she suddenly froze when she saw Colin leaning on his side by the wall, his head p
