All Chapters of The Immortal Prince : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

~Vaela  My feet scuff over rocks, gloved fingers gripping slick ice as I climb.  "Can you wait up? I'm going as fast as I can and am seconds away from breaking my ankle." Turning, I look over my shoulder. My friend and companion for this trip, Eyla, struggles up a particularly steep part of the cliff, bundled in layers of clothing to the point I can't see her face.  "We are nearly there," I assure her, prying my numb hand between two slabs of rock, hoisting myself up onto a ridge.  "Exactly, so wait up." With two feet planted on the flat edge of the ridge, I look out over the vi

~Vaela  "Ah!" My palms slap over my eyes, the image of the man burned into the back of my eyelids. "Who are you?" The voice questions. It’s a deep, rich sound that spreads over me, slightly accented.  I’m imagining this.  I must be. There is no conceivable way that I just saw a tall man with silver tattoos standing at what I now realise is a doorway. Thankfully his bare chest was all I got an eyeful of, and not any lower down… My fingers part slightly as I peek through them. I am not imagining this.  The man is now fully dressed, which took him only mere momen

~Vaela I don’t know how long I slept for. I wake colder than I was before, despite my proximity to the fire. Aside from the crackling of the flames, which I believe is stoked by magic, the foyer is silent, and lacking any Pureblood’s. Sitting up, I rub my eyes. Should I wait here, or should I seek Hale out? If I seek him out, it means I have to talk to him. Not that he isn’t interesting, or hasn’t been somewhat nice to me, he’s still utterly terrifying. 

~Vaela "I don't like him." Collapsing down onto the couch, I tug a blanket over myself, glaring at Will. I’m too distracted by this strange feeling of loss that has settled within me. It feels wrong to have left the cave, to have left Hale. "You're not meant to, he's a Sin,” Eyla responds, pushing past him to come sit next to me on the couch. Will’s jaw is set in a firm line, a distasteful look swirling in his eyes. "The fact that he was acting like he was going to see you again, Vaela."&nb

~Vaela Consciousness, for once, greets me sweetly. Blinking blearily, I look up into large brown eyes staring down at me. "Eyla..." "Good, you're awake. I was starting to worry." She rests her hand against her chest, like she had been literally sitting over me monitoring my every breath, which I wouldn't put past her. I sit up, letting her adjust my pillows behind me. "Where's Hale?"
