LucyI was in the car again, fear pounding through my veins. The night of the attack replayed itself, each scene more vivid than the last. The chaos, the sinister laughter of Selene, and the desperate chase rushed through my mind. I was breathless and panicked. I heard the bullets ricocheting and myself scream as we went flying over the edge of a cliff, free falling.I didn't remember this, but I heard myself panting. I heard David's voice like thunder cracking in the small space of the car, chanting something. Then, there was heat around me. I caught a glimpse of scales, abyss black and iridescent. Metal crunched and creaked. He shielded me with his immense wings; a magical barrier rippled around us like an impenetrable cocoon.The night flashed through my mind. Then, there was screaming, the thudding of footsteps, and the sharp sound of something cutting through the air. I knew what it was now."No!"I sat up, shuddering and fighting my blankets,

David The icy expanse stretched endlessly in all directions, a desolate and frozen tundra beneath an inky sky. The cold felt too close and too distant at the same time, and unlike the last time I had been here, the ground felt solid. The snow beneath my boots glittered, the only source of radiance in this otherwise lightless world, but it didn't crunch the way snow did. It just seemed to shift away like sand almost. My stomach turned the longer I looked at it. The cold air bit at my face, and each breath hung in the air like a ghostly wisp."Can you hear me?" I yelled, my voice echoed like a screech in the wind, but no one answered. "Is anyone out there?"My chest tightened with grief and wariness. The vast emptiness weighed on me as I trudged through the snow, leaving a trail of footprints that quickly vanished in the snow drifting. I looked up and around, trying to orient myself, trying to figure out where this place was. If my theories were righ

David "You should be proud of how far you've come," I said. "Not too long ago, you wouldn't have been able to make the light bend. Celebrate it."She nodded. "I just... feel very behind.""It's not a race," I said. "Some people won't even start basic magical training for another ten years, another ten days. Think about how discouraged they would feel, just thinking about all the witches that have already gotten through training?"I nodded. "I suppose you have a point."I wrapped an arm around her and kissed her temple."You're doing just fine." I hummed. "Tell me how your classes went otherwise, hm?"I listened to her. The gentle familiarity of her voice washed over me. I could barely keep my eyes open, but I wanted so much to be in this moment with her. I didn't want to go back to sleep just yet. Whatever waited for me was just going to be more to worry about.And Lucy was so beautiful, so warm, and the way her e

Tony A child burst into tears as their father dashed out the door. My heart clenched as the child kept wailing and struggling to get out of the caretaker's arms. Parents peeled their children off of them before rushing out the door. I looked down at Quillan, who seemed to draw closer to me. A friendly caregiver approaches, her warm smile putting both Quillan and me at ease."Welcome! We're so glad to have you here. Do you need paperwork to fill out, or have you already done so?"I blinked and smiled."No. I've got a copy."I opened my briefcase and pulled out the folder, shuffling through the pages before handing her the documents."You must be Mr. Chance!" She beamed at me and then looked at Quillan. "And you must be Quillan. It's very nice to meet you.""It's nice to meet you too, ma'am."He stepped behind me, barely peeking out from behind me.She turned her bright eyes on me as I fumbled with the paperwork, my

Peter The cityscape blurred outside the car window as Vasil navigated the bustling streets. I leaned back, trying to shake off the tension that seemed to have settled into my shoulders. The investigation into the stolen spear from the museum had hit a frustrating standstill, and Vasil's impatience was palpable.It made the drive to Yellow Ridge Hospital was filled with a tense silence. Vasil's frustration was palpable, and I couldn't blame him. There were no further leads about where Oren could have taken it and nothing more to go on. The Council wouldn't stand against Oren if they didn't have to. It would be best if we had a means by which to steal it back. I needed rest, but my questions about the Moon Wars and the upcoming Festival didn't afford me the luxury of sitting back and letting others handle it.As we grew closer to the hospital's parking lot, Vasil shot me a sideways glance."You think you can manage a bit more rest?""Sl
