There’s nowhere to run.
Fate sits right by my legs, hand on my calf atop the blanket. It’s a warning, not to even consider making a move. The door is ajar, but barely. There are no windows in this room anyway, giving me no sense of bearings. We could be anywhere right, in a realm not like my own. Right now I could be his prisoner and he’s trying to make feel welcome, so I don’t panic.
“Please let me leave,” I breathe softly, trying not to appear threatening. I doubt he’s very scared of me, regardless. The amount of power that exists in this one body sitting in front of me is more than I can imagine. So much so it’s

Thought FOURTEEN
~LuellaThought stands above me, watching me with those glistening silver eyes.Has he always been this attractive? The answer is clearly yes. He’s come from nowhere, appearing in front of me like an apparition, however I can feel the radiation between us, suggesting the realness of this moment. I sit up on the couch, as he rests beside me, not saying a single word. A waver, like a vignette that almost seems to glow, surrounds him.
Thought FIFTEEN
~Luella“Okay. This isn’t funny.”The earnest in Thought’s eyes are unnerving, because it almost makes me believe him. But it makes no sense. I’ve been dragged into this life with no explanation, and every time I seek one, I get more confusion. Revel has fled, not having contacted me since the utter failure at dinner the other day. Good, he’s the last thing I need right now. He wanted me to break Thought’s heart, and Fate wants me to win his heart. I think I know which I would rather.

~LuellaThe sound of soft cries wakes me.Blearily, I rub my eyes, forcing them open. I’m not sure what I expected to see, but it’s not Della sitting beside me on her knees, head in her hands. Looking around me, I’m in my room. If my memory serves me right, I should have been waking in Thought’s guest room, ready to assault him with questions about the dream he projected into my sleeping mind.“He broke u

~ThoughtMy brother paces in front of me.It’s not often that Time visits me. We may have sorted everything out between us, but that doesn’t mean all is solved. However, he is here now, walking around in my living room, tapping his finger against his chin. I’m surprised he found me here. I’ve left my usual estate in my territory for a small cabin in one of the Virtue’s land.
Thought EIGHTEEN
~LuellaI’m not sure how he expects me to react.Maybe I should be jumping up, excited to take an offer a pureblood immortal’s offering. However, my heart completely falls into my stomach. The idea of staying, no, being trapped inside a dream is enough to turn this into a nightmare. And with Thought…I have no reason to trust him yet. Who knows what he would manipulate me to think in here.“You’re crazy,”
Thought NINETEEN
~LuellaThought and I now sit together on a couch, facing each other.My anxiety has lessened, although I’m still wary. I’ve accepted to some degree that I’m trapped here until Thought relents, and by the sound of what he has been describing to me for the past half hour, I’m not jumping to leave yet. In fact, leaving this dream-state seems terrifying. As alluring as all Thought’s power may outwardly seem, I know that I would never be able to handle it.
Thought 20
~LuellaA lay back, letting the sun dance across my face.This is the life I should be living. No wonder Thought loves to retreat to his own personal simulation to enjoy benefits like this. I sit in front of an earth made pool, staring into its emerald green, turquoise blue surface, enjoying the way is beckons me in, even though I know its depths are deeper than I can see, and the water is surely cold.

~LuellaShe slips into the room, eyeing me warily.My poor, beautiful sister. She used to admire me, once upon a time. Now, she stares at me through pale green eyes, terrified. I’m still tied down, after a day. My wrists are rubbed raw, to the point they never stop stinging, and no one has come in this room to let me know when I might be let out. Everyone just likes not make excuses.“You’re looking

Thought Epilogue
¬LuellaI stare out into the distance, watching the dark clouds shift and crawl along the sky, seeing the shadows tinting the treetop.“It feels strange being home,” I mutter, glancing up at Thought, who stands behind me. We made it back only today from Karma’s Province. Everything feels eerily quiet here, almost peacefully if I didn’t know what had to happen to make it that way. We haven't heard from Stace, which I can’t decide is a good thing or not. He is still a threat, but for now, we might be okay. “I’m glad you consider this your home now, despite everything that has happened here,” Thought admits, smiling down at me. Now that I’m back here with Thought
Thought 45
¬LuellaI sit down on the icy bench, waiting for Thought.About an hour ago we split up, walking around the town looking for as much information on Aven as possible. Everyone I have spoken to doesn’t know her, and I never managed to gather enough courage to look into any of their heads. It would have been much quicker, but I’m afraid of what I might see that I don’t want to. And none of them deserve that, anyway.Shivering, I glance up, seeing Thought approach me from down the street. It’s late afternoon now, people mulling through the village mindlessly, thankfully not taking much notice of me. Eyes do linger on Thought though, even if he has a hood pulled over his head, trying to hide his face from everyone.
Thought 44
¬LuellaHis eyes sweep over me, the silver of his irises turned milky under the moonlight, an ethereal hint to it.I’m ready for him to be angry at me, to wonder what I’m doing out here, in the middle of nowhere in almost complete darkness. He doesn’t look angry, as he looks over me intently, likely looking to ensure I’m safe and okay. I’m perfectly healthy, yet utterly mortified that Thought found me...I shouldn’t be surprised, I mean he is far more powerful than me, and possibly knew all along.“Don’t be mad at me,” I say carefully, holding my hands up defensively. He comes to stand in front of me, not touching me, although the proximity makes me shiver. Last time I saw him, he had no idea
Thought 43
¬LuellaRevel arrives only moments after Time departed, appearing magically before me, making me yelp.“Where are we going?” I question, having to use all my effort to speak, suddenly all my energy and desire to get this over with now having since vanished. Time has left me with a lot to think about. I can hardly believe I’m having to rethink my moral choices upon Time’s recommendation...He’s not exactly an outstanding citizen. “We are meeting in a neutral place,” Revel explains. We are meeting the virtue already, hardly giving me enough time to come up with an alternative plan in time. “Micah thinks you’re looking into his head to help him.”
Thought 42
¬LuellaI lay beside Thought, waiting for him to wake.I took Stace’s deal, knowing that I don’t have any other choice. Looking at Thought, I realise that it's all worth it, as he peacefully slumbers, the early morning sun casting a wonderful glow over his complexion. I’m not going to tell him about this, knowing he will try to convince me out of it. I will do anything to protect him, to ensure that Stace will not harm him.Stace has asked me to use my powers to get into the head of one of the Virtues - Micah, or humility to be specific. I know nothing about him, other than that he was a part of the group that killed a large number of those from Stace’s realm. At least that’s what he explained to me, and if I’m to believe him, I shouldn’t have an issue doing this.Yet I do...I don’t want to get into Micah’s head if it means he will die not long after. Sta
Thought 41
¬LuellaI don’t allow his words to frighten me.If there is anything that I’ve learnt, it’s that I can’t trust Revel, so as those words come past his lips, my eyes narrow skeptically. Revel is a Sin, which means he only cares about himself, and would say anything if it meant he could get his way.“If you’re lying to me…” I mutter uneasily, wishing I could put more of a threatening tone into my voice. The moment someone threatens Thought, it immediately makes me uncomfortable. For so long now, I’ve been the one everyone wants dead, so hearing that Thought could be in danger too makes my stomach twist uneasily
Thought 40
His eyes don’t leave mine as he steps toward me.Ignoring my thudding heart, I allow his scent to his me, his body, as his hands come up to cup my face, kissing me with a fervent passion that is unmistakably real. His playful words have vanished, no longer wanting to mess around, to jump around want we both want to happen. The bond between us locks tight, every inch of my body begging to be close to him, to not pull away. This is what I want...I want him.He doesn’t have to read my mind to realise what I want, sweeping me into his arms in a way that makes me gasp, walking me slowly over the couch where he lays me down gently.His t

¬LuellaThought and I sit outside on the balcony, looking out across the desert plains that have been casted into shadow by the fallen sun. Night here is remarkable, the once red sound now pale and milky from the brilliant moonlight.“So you don’t need to sleep?” I ask curiously, glancing at my mate who lounges back in a chair beside me. We have been sitting out here for a while now, talking about the most random things we could come up with. It’s bonding, in a way, drawing closer to each other with only the simple things being shared. It’s how we would have come to know each other in a normal circumstance.“No. But pure blood immortals do anyway to fill time,” he admits, silvery eyes glistening s

(Spoilers for Sinful’s Lust. Read at your own risk)¬LuellaAny dialogue in her memories is foggy, but the faces are clear.I could have looked past this memory and not seen anything strange about it, but yet as I look closer, sifting through the intricacies of it, I notice the strange white haired figure with milky eyes that she has seen in the past has more to him than what might be revealed at first glance. Looking deeper into memories involving him, I see Sinful, and then feel Millicent’s fear.Whoever this man is, he’s s
