Chapter 1 : Tumbling

*Sage*The Smoky Mountains were technically a rainforest. They were a deciduous rainforest, and it was a fact that people didn't seem to know. But as you looked out across the way the moisture rose from the trees in the misty haze that gave the mountains their name, you'd have to believe it. As the tendrils of fog lifted their hands heavenward, reaching for a sun they'd never meet, it was easy to see why the place inspired ghost stories and folklore.My grandmother was superstitious. She believed you should never pick up a penny that wasn't heads-up. She wouldn't walk under ladders, and she always knocked on wood. She never told secrets while standing near a mirror, in case someone on the other side could hear her.She worried over faerie rings for as long as I could remember. In the spring and the summer, when I would come to visit her house, she was constantly warning me about them."Don't step in that ring," she would call to me, gesturing toward the brown-capped mushrooms t

Chapter 2 : Tricks

*Fynn*Well, this was new. I had to hand it to Evangeline, this was an unexpected approach. Where did she find a woman like this? The big, hazel eyes were really something, almost otherworldly. She looked up at me and looked genuinely afraid. An actress then.I reached down and scooped the woman up. She struggled under my grasp, but she was disappointingly weak. I wrapped my arm around her and tossed her over my shoulder. Her gown was practically see-through now that it was damp with sweat. Even if this woman was a spy as I suspected, it would be irresponsible to leave her out in the woods on her own. There were dangerous people out there.The woman kicked wildly, beating her small fists against my back."Let me go, you stupid hillbilly," she demanded, struggling still."It's going to hurt if I drop you," I warned her, hoping to talk a little sense into her."I don't care. Put me down. I'll call the cops, I swear," she screeched.The cops? What the hell did that even mean

Chapter 3 : New Perspective

*Sage*My kidnapper clapped his heels against the horse's sides, spurring him into a gallop."Hold on," the man snarled, and I didn't argue.He was a hulking brute of a figure, tall with broad shoulders like nothing I'd ever seen before. Gripping onto him for dear life, I could feel the way his muscles rippled, even under his thick cloak. My mind drifted to considering what he might look like under all of that fabric, and I cursed myself for letting my mind go there at a time like this.I wasn't sure what on earth was pursuing us, but from the sound of its feet, it sounded like an elephant. I hadn't heard anything when the man started to get nervous, but now that we were racing through the forest, I could hear the thundering pursuit.I considered what might be the less terrible way to die: I could risk my life with the unknown creature, or I could hope my captor would let me go.Watching the ground surge by underneath us, the forest nearly a blur as the black horse practica

Chapter 4 : The First Village

*Fynn*The sound of the birds singing woke me up. The sun was just starting to pull over the horizon and light the woods, and I rolled over to try and steal a few more minutes of sleep.My arm draped over a small form next to me, and I pulled it away as if I'd been burned.Sage.I had forgotten she was here, and I startled myself. It was crowded to have her in the bedroll with me, but I couldn't risk letting her get away from me. She didn't need to report to Evangeline what I was up to. I needed at least a little bit of edge when it came to fighting the Water Court.Seeing her in my bed, hands bound, in that barely-there shift dress, my mind was slipping down a rabbit trail it really shouldn't be traveling. I frowned and turned away. Definitely a succubus.She needed new clothes. We were about to get to a town, and she would be a spectacle. It was going to be embarrassing enough to have to take her into this town in that dress, much less if we made it to meet my men with he

Chapter 5 : One-sided Conversations

*Sage*"I don't think people can be saints without knowing it," Fynn growled, hand placed firmly at the small of my back. He had to lean his head down toward me to be heard over the crowd, and his nearness had my nerves on edge."Okay, well, I'm telling you right now that I have no idea what she was talking about. It seemed rude to tell her no though, and she gave me these for free," I snapped back, doing my best to ignore my speeding pulse. I lifted a leg to remind him of the boots."I just think that someone should have taught you to lie better. I've already pinned you for exactly who you are. You're a succubus sent by Evangeline to keep me from breaking the curse," Fynn said smugly.I stopped dead in my tracks, almost tripping a vendor pushing a cart of dried meats. I turned to face Fynn, eyes narrowed and one corner of my upper lip curling involuntarily into a snarl."What, and I do mean this from the bottom of my heart, the fuck are you talking about?" I demanded.The

Chapter 6 : Making Amends

The sun was much higher over the horizon when I woke up the next morning. There was a warm stone with some sort of cooked meat on a piece of bread, covered with melted cheese. I propped myself up on an elbow, eyebrows furrowed as I took in the morning."I hope you like it. My mom used to make something like it for breakfast. She was a much better cook than I am, but I ate mine and it wasn't too bad." Fynn was kicking dirt on the fire and starting to pack up the camp.Cautiously, I took the food and took a bite. I chewed thoughtfully, letting the warm food help wake me up. I felt like I was still in a dream, and I was not sure if it was because of the dreamy landscape, or Fynn's out-of-character behavior.I had to admit that the food was incredible, and the flavor of it was heavenly. It was salty and warm, with lots of drippy cheese on sourdough bread. It warmed me from the inside out, and I wondered if all food here was just a step above the food at home. Well, all the food excep

Chapter 7 : Details

"Why does it matter to you so much where we're going?" Fynn snapped.Ugh, that attitude again. I supposed I must be getting close to some sort of boundary, but I wanted to know more. I wondered if I could dance along that line, balance on the razor edge that was Fynn's limits of conversation."You're taking me with you. Don't you think I should know where we're going too?" I reasoned.Fynn took a long, deep breath. He was quiet for so long that I wondered if he had decided not to answer."We need to make camp soon. I don't want to travel after dark," he said instead."I don't know if you noticed, but you're the one holding the reins. I just go wherever you go, remember? Even if you don't tell me where that is." I let go of him, letting my arms dangle at my sides. He'd stopped binding me while we rode, but I was sure if I tried to escape, he'd stop me with another tree root.Fynn sighed. "I need to meet up with some colleagues of mine."Colleagues. I wondered what kind of

Chapter 8 : Pursuit

There was a rustling just past the edge of the trees that bordered the clearing. Fynn stepped away, moving his hands to make the vines release me. He hurried in the direction of the noise, gripping at the dagger on his belt. Unfortunately, the sudden release meant that I collapsed to the ground in a heap.My heart was now pounding in my chest for another reason as I watched Fynn creep along the tree line. I wasn't sure if he could see anything or not, but I couldn't see a damn thing.After a few moments, Fynn turned back to me."Go to bed," he said wearily.I did as he said, scrambling into the bedroll. He didn't join me, instead propping himself up against a fir tree."Should I be worried?" I asked, still trying to clear my mind of the haze of desire that had clouded my judgment only moments ago."We're in the woods. There are woodland creatures everywhere. I'm sure it was just a fox," he assured me, though he sounded irritated. His eyes still scanned the clearing and the

Chapter 9 : Claimed

The gentle sway of Alastor's plodding walk relaxed me, though I was still a little unnerved by being unable to see.It was hard to tell if the rustling was from the cloak or from the woods, but it sounded as if it was coming from all sides. I desperately wanted to stick my head out, but that seemed dangerous at the moment.I had never encountered bandits. There weren't exactly many bandits roaming the streets of Knoxville. Maybe some idiot with a gun mugging people, but a real, true bandit? No, and definitely not a whole gang of them. What was the protocol when dealing with bandits?Following Fynn's lead seemed like the only way to guarantee my safety. I could always take a risk and hope that these were a merry band of misfits like Robin Hood and the boys, that they might award me my freedom, but that seemed pretty unlikely. I was beginning to wonder if I even wanted to get away from Fynn at all at this point.Fynn clicked his tongue at Alastor, and the horse rolled into a rock

Chapter 10 : Healers and Healing

The inn for the village was right on the edge of town. I convinced Fynn to put the cloak on to cover his shoulder when he went inside. Arriving injured would more than likely set off alarm bells, and thankfully, Fynn agreed.He got us a room, requesting a room with two cots."We've only got one room, and it has one large bed," the innkeeper replied gruffly, white mustache blowing with his words."We'll take it." Fynn sighed. "I also need lodging for one horse."I looked around the first floor of the inn as Fynn made deals and got directions to a stall for Alastor. He handed some money to the innkeeper and continued whatever discussion they were having.It looked like a scene from one of those corny medieval theme parks, or low-budget streaming series. Wood beams and plaster walls, an enormous fireplace on the other end of the building, and a scattering of tables and chairs cluttered the floors. There was a bartender using a rag to wipe down a walnut bar, and two gray-bearded
