Seven
A lady must always wait to be introduced first. They must present themselves to those superior to them with grace and a curtsy. A lady must never engage in a shaking of hands.
✾
Alpha Irvine is taller than how I expected him to be.
I believe he stands at most 7ft tall. His muscles were burly and taut making his suit almost look like second skin. I was staring, that I know, but I couldn't help myself. A large scar runs from his forehead down to his left cheek. And the place where his left eyes is supposed to be lies a pale silver glass eye. He did look like someone who would kill a maid for just breaking plates. Just looking at him, you coul

A lady must always address those superior to them with titles such as Lady, Sir, Madame, etc. Never fail to flatter them when necessary.✾I was still staring out the window when Karina came marching in. I turn my head sideways and I see just how pale her face was, how her hands and whole body were visibly shaking, it seems like this is the first time she

A lady must be at the location an hour earlier and they are required to wear ball gowns of their Nation’s national colors.✾The paper in my hand weighed like a ton of rocks.Judging from the mix of intake and release of breaths inside the room, I can tell the locations varied greatly. I still haven’t looked up, I can’t tell much about how the others reacted. I’m still stuck staring at this piece of paper that would very well have an effect on my life. Or the remainder of it, I don’t think I would survive that long. No. Especially not here. Days after Silas mentioned t
Rules and Roses Ten
Always check your back. Safety is your first priority.✾The first thing I notice is that from afar, the houses I see on the horizon looked like tiny rocks.I don’t know how far I am from the village, or how I could get there by just walking. I’m not sure what they injected me with but it might have a small dose of suppressant. I don’t feel the voice that I did last night. The supposed wolf inside me as what Silas had mentioned. I don’t feel anything but numbness. Everything feels like a dream.I look at the letter on my hand again and place it inside the rucksack. Sighing, I clenched my teeth and started walking. Taking not

One can easily tell a water's worth when a well is dried out.✾The night was cold as it was harsh.I’ve read in one of my books that since the sun is gone, the heat with it leaves too. The sand and gravel that is around this whole landscape acts like a mirror for the sky. I find myself shivering and hugging myself for warmth. Even the small lamp didn’t offer any sort of comfort. Kofi seemed like he was alright, though, although he was shivering, it wasn’t as much as I was.I’ve set the straw mat on the farthest side of the hut and I was currently sitting on it. While Kofi was looking through the tool box, he’s been at it for a few minutes now. Speaking at me every now and then, forgetting that we didn’t speak the

The eyes are the windows to the soul. Stare hard and clearly see what one wants to say from within.✾Judith giggles like a school girl beside me.I turn my head sideways to look at her and much like a school girl, she was blushing too. She looked younger than she did when she was nagging me back at the well. “He just couldn’t stay away from that little boy. Always gotta keep coming back.”‘Han’ was crouching down now, no longer looking at me, he was ruffling Kofi’s hair, talking to him. Even with my senses, I couldn’t quite hear him. And that’s an odd thing to happen. Consor
Rules and Roses Thirteen
There is a thing in life that is somewhat like water. We drown in it, fall in it, and can't live without it. That little thing we call love.✾ A week has passed and the only thing I made that was remarkable was finding a source of water for the town. Kofi was helping me teach the others on how to do it. Still though, even with the knowledge of finding water from mud, the well will still dry out. Especially now when it seems like it rarely rains. That’s why my mission for today is to find a place where we can get water. I’m pretty sure where the water is, the plants and animals are too.
Rules and Roses Fourteen
Sleep is the poor man's dinner.✾ Yohan and I decided to go back tomorrow to investigate. It was turning dark and cold real fast. Once we reached the village, Yohan left us by the hut and he went back towards the caves and woods. Probably for the fire. Kofi was shaking once we reach the hut. I immediately light a fire and grab some of the extra clothes I had. I wrap them around him and make sure he was warm. He stops shaking almost instantly and releases a sigh. He was probably really tired, he fell asleep almost instantly.
Rules and Roses Fifteen
If you want to walk fast, walk alone. If you want to walk far, walk together.✾ “No!” Kofi clings on one of my legs and shakes his head again. Sighing, I try to pull him off but to no avail, he still clings onto me. Judith looks at the both of us, rather conflicted if she should just pull him off or wait until he stops his tantrum. Yohan was still inside the hut, looking for some things we might need for our expedition today. We don’t really know how long we will take, and it’s going to be a waste of time if we keep coming back here every time it gets dark.
