Haunted
We entered the ship and looked around curiously. It wasn’t at all how I imagined it to be.
I had only heard tales about ships in relation to pirates. I’d always wanted to meet one, but it didn’t seem like I would be doing that today. The ship was totally empty.
I climbed below deck. It had cots, which made me think we would definitely be spending the night here. I wasn’t sure if that would bode well, considering I was already feeling a little nauseous.
I might suffer from seasickness. I grabbed on to a column as the ship started moving.
“Who is doing that?” I called up.
“We’re not sure!” Zeke called back down.
I slowly made my way back up to the deck. The wheel was turning all by itself. That should worry me, but I could make fire come out of my body, so this was just another day in Uquix it seemed.
“Well, I’m going to take a nap.&rdq

We all sat on the deck in a circle around the fire. If we were going to do this, we might as well do it right.“Are we sure we should read this story?” Posy asked. “I mean what if the book is cursed?”“This whole journey has been cursed.” Penn pointed out.“He’s right and we clearly were supposed to find this. Might as well see what it’s all about.” I sighed, sure I would end up regretting this. “Go ahead and read, Hunter.”He cleared his throat. “There was once a ship called The Ghastly Cutlass run by Captain Rowell ‘The Cruel’ Swale. He was ruthless and hard and the reason for this tale-”“God is it all going to rhyme?” Cedric groaned.“Shut up!” I snapped. “Continue Hunter.”“Thank you Empress Zelda.” He shot Cedric a dirty look before continuing. “Rowell took no pri
The Empress and the Alpha Ghastly
This time we all went down below deck.There was eerie green lighting that most definitely wasn’t there before, but nothing else seemed different. That almost scared me more, considering all the noise we had heard.The trap door slammed closed. Cedric tried to push it open. “It won’t budge!” He growled. “We have to get out of here.”“Maybe it’s the wind?” Posy suggested.“There was no wind.” Penn pointed out. “I think maybe those stories weren’t just stories.”“Yeah, you think?” Hunter asked.“Are they going to kill us?” Zeke asked. “We are a group of ten.”“But we would make a horrible crew to this ship.” I pointed out. “We’re not qualified at all!”“I don’t think they care about that.” Oz admitted.“I’m just really hoping th
The Empress and the Alpha The Darkened Shore
When I opened my eyes, the world around me was different than I’d ever seen it before.It was green and dark. It was incredibly forest-like and yet didn’t feel anything like the real world. It almost seemed like it was an unfinished place. Like someone had started creating it, but got stopped halfway through. It was eerie and creepy and if I could feel, I think it would be quite cold.“Well this is horrifying.” Penn whispered.I turned to look at him. He was a ghost. The most handsome damn ghost I’d ever seen in my life, but still a ghost.“We’ve gotta start looking for the others.” I said. “Who knows how long it’ll be until sunrise?”I tried to pull him but my hand went right through his.Right, we’re not solid anymore.We floated through the strange world. For being dead and having nothing to do, ghosts sure were scrambling around l
The Empress and the Alpha Ghostly Advice
“So what exactly are Head Phantoms?” I questioned. “Like what do they do?”“They watch over the Darkened Shore. They’re kind of the guards.” Agaras explained. “They’re supposed to make sure everyone who’s supposed to be remains here and beings that aren't supposed to be here stay away.”“Not very good at their jobs are they?” Penn asked.“Well they are blind.” Gwenna pointed out. “They can sense a non ghost, though. That’s why we must be careful. Even if they can’t see you, they can find you.”“And the others too.” I groaned. “And we have no idea where they are.”“We will find them, Zelda, don’t worry.” Penn assured me. “Gwenna, Agaras, may I ask...is this all there is in the afterlife? Is there a Twilight Nexus or Ravaged Hollow?”“Of course there is!” Gwenn
The Empress and the Alpha Batten Down the Hatches
When my eyes snapped open I couldn’t exactly figure out where I was at first. It took a moment to realize I was under the deck on a cot.“You were right.” Penn’s voice stated next to me. He was shirtless and I’m pretty sure naked under the cover. “They were having sex.”“Lucky ghosts.” I grinned, leaning over to kiss him. “Maybe we should finish what they started.”“I could be tempted.”“Empress Zelda where are you?” Hunter called.I rolled my eyes. “Another time, darling.”Penn groaned as we started getting dressed. We hurried above deck. The sky was orangish-purple and absolutely stunning!“Well somehow we made it out of there.” I sighed heavily. “How do we all feel?”I was met with grumbles and groans. Okay they weren’t happy. And why should they be?“Well is anyone hungry?&rd
The Empress and the Alpha Bottom to the Top
Indrick was right, the ship was sinking and rather fast!“What are we gonna do?” Cedric asked. He was hyperventilating. “I-I can’t swim!”“Well you’d better learn now!!” Zeke exclaimed. “Swimming is the only option!”“We have to grab our bags!” Penn ran down to the lower deck, followed by Hunter and Oz.Cedric was frozen, clinging to the side of the tilting ship.“What are we supposed to do?” Posy asked. “We can’t even see land! Where do we go?”“Um, I don’t know!” I admitted. “I have no idea what we’re supposed to do! I think we just die!”Sure, that’s dramatic, but also a possibility!“We should jump ship now!” Balkin called as the water reached the deck.“I can’t!” Cedric shouted. “I can’t swim.”“I
The Empress and the Alpha Penn for Your Thought
Penn’s POVAt this point I wasn’t even surprised with Zelda getting kidnapped. It was to be expected now.How did she manage to get kidnapped so much? She was the strongest and most powerful woman I knew and yet was so easy to abduct.I understand why she was always taken. I mean she was the most beautiful person to grace this entire earth. I wanted to take her away the moment I met her too. Not only did my heart recognize her as my mate, but my mind did too.Seeing the way she had stood up to Hunter solidified that she was the woman for me.Of course she was intimidating and I was scared of telling Hunter that I loved her, but I would do anything for her. I would lay my life on the line for a second. No that I ever get the chance to. She’s usually taken before I even have a chance to do that of course.“What is with everyone taking my sister?” Zeke groaned. “Is she that appealing?”
The Empress and the Alpha Prince Mako
Zelda’s POVSo I was breathing underwater.Kind of cool, kind of unsettling. I wasn’t sure how I got these gills, but I was more concerned by the fact that two mermaids were abducting me.“Ladies, where are we going?” I asked.“Oh you’ll see! You’ll love it, Empress.” Talise smiled at me.They pulled me through the water at top speed. I barely got to take in my surroundings. I just knew that there was a lot of colors and that they were insanely beautiful.I was brought to a castle that looked like it was made out of glass. It was stunning, but I wondered how comfortable it could really be.“State your name and purpose.” A merman guard commanded.“Lars, you know it’s us. Denize and Talise. We have with us an Empress that we think Prince Mako would like to meet.” Denize grinned.“An....Empress you say?” Lars as
