All Chapters of Lake Creek: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

After receiving a call from Anna saying that she was headed to the shop and would be back by tomorrow, Andreas and Eleanor made their way back to Eleanor's. They got to the door and Eleanor didn't want to let go of Andreas' hand. She didn't want to be alone, having had a full house earlier. Andreas looked down at her."Be sure to close the door when you go in."She looked up at him and nodded."What's that look for?"Her eyes drifted from his eyes, down to his lips, back up to his eyes, then his lips, before she looked away and muttered a quiet, "nothing."A smirk began to form on his lips, "You want something?"She bit her lip, thought about it, then decided to just spit it out. She looked up at him and whispered, "Don't go."His brows dipped, "You're scared?"She gave out a sigh, "I..." And looked away.He held her chin and tipped her face upwards, "You're fine." "But..." She huffed and averted her eyes. He dipped and pecked

Andreas noticed a shift in Eleanor's mood. It had started after the cotton candy escapade. She wasn't as vibrant anymore and from the way Leo leaned in to speak in her ear with a frown on his face, he could tell that Leo noticed too. What could have caused it? He was looking for a way to get his arm out of Alexandra's hold but she wasn't letting up, as she continued pointing out things to him and randomly speaking. Eleanor took lazy step after lazy step, suddenly not feeling giddy anymore. Her mood had just deflated. Could it have been because of the cotton candy and--Nah... Or because of Alexandra and her animosity towards her? Could that have affected her mood? Whatever it was, she definitely didn't like it. She was still caught up in her head when a hand held hers and she turned. The guys walked ahead while Andreas stared down at Eleanor."What's wrong?"Her shoulders moodily rose and fell in a careless shrug, "Nothing."He sat on the forest floor. She frowned down

She gently cupped his cheeks,"Liam?"His eyes kept fluttering but his gaze finally focused on hers,"Thank you.""I am so sorry."He slowly shook his head and rose a shaky hand to hold hers, "You didn't know.""He made you carve into yourself." she said in anguish. That image won't leave her for a long time.He managed to look down at his body and a frown coated his brows as he found that his body was completely void of scratches, then he looked at her,"What is going on?"She inhaled deeply, "I'll tell you later, right now, you need to rest."Leo and Anna approached them and began to help her raise his weak body. They had managed to get his arms around their shoulders when fire shot at Eleanor's feet, blocking her path. Her eyes darted to Alexandra,"What is this?""Explain yourself." she demanded.Everyone else was confused, including Eleanor who was that, and getting angrier by the minute."Excuse me?""E

Knowing she was being followed, Eleanor whipped around and found Andreas. Exactly the man she wanted to see. She smiled up at him."Question and answer time."He knew it was coming."Tell me why she almost killed Liam and you did nothing about it."He slowly exhaled, trying to tread with caution."We didn't know that there was a way to get the demon out, without Will getting killed afterwards.""Who's we?" She crossed her arms."Anthony, Nick, Leo, Alexandra, and I.""Okay. So, you didn't know there was a way. Did you know that whatever you were doing to him, even if he was going to die afterwards, was causing him an extremely painful death?"Andreas' sigh answered for him."Yes.""And you still did it?""Yes.""Why?""We needed to get the demon to come out.""So, in other words, if Alexandra had burned him to death, you would have just gone with it?"He opened his mouth, shut it and opened it again,

After giving her nod of approval, training began."How do you feel when you use your powers?"Eleanor shrugged."How did you feel when you zapped Alexandra?""Uh.... Vengeful."Leo snickered, "I know, but did it feel hard?""To zap her? Nope. It felt good."Alexandra sneered and Eleanor winked at her. Andreas barely managed to hold a smile back."Did you feel like you had to try, somehow, to draw out electricity? Or, it felt normal?""At that point.... I wasn't thinking. I guess it felt normal... I don't know."Leo nodded, "For you to use it without thinking, and be able to direct it however you wish, it shows that you have some form of control. Now, that control, I have over the energy I get from the earth. The earth is a life source and the energy it produces, is more diverse than shampoo products. I don't just get what I want, I have to filter through, gather, then use. In my filtering, I get to understand her messages. You don't
