The Caged Bird
Namhaid looked up at me, and I could see the red swirling in his eyes. Before I could react, he was practically on top of me. NEMI!” I heard Talia scream, before everything went black. When I woke up, I couldn’t see anything. Everything was pitch black. It was so dark, that I wasn’t sure that I had my eyes open at all. ‘Where am I?’ I thought to myself. Thinking back on what happened, I frowned. The last thing I remember, is seeing Namhaid lunging at me. “HELP!” I tried to yell. I frowned once again, when my voice was non-existent. I felt sharp cold jolts of energy shoot up my spine, and my sides. I shivered at his touch. “Nemesis, you have been a very bad girl. You’ve been hiding things from me.;.” He whispered in my ear. I tried to jerk away from his arms, but he just held me tighter. “Don’t you pull away from me, Nemes

I ran into the nearby woods, hoping that I could hide from Namhaid. It's like I could feel his presence approaching. "You cannot hide from me, Nemesis." Namhaid called out to me. I rolled my eyes. I silently prayed that climbing this tree as high as I did was worth the trouble. He walked past the tree that I was hiding in. Thankful that I had plenty of coverage up here, I relaxed as I thought of my home. My bithday was in a few weeks, and I should be there planning it with Vic. I frowned as I thought of my best friend, then I remembered what Declan said about her not knowing that I 'went missing'. The feeling and sound of my phone going off pulled me out of my thoughts. "Shit!" I hissed. "Nemesis! Where are you?!" Namhaid yelled through the brush. I could hear his footsteps nearby. "I know you're out here!" He called out. I closed my eyes, and thought of my warm bed. I was exhausted. I felt my soft blanket around me, and the cloudy textures of my pillows under my

I jumped at the touch, and turned around. It was Declan's dad. "Alexander?" I said out loud, with a suspicious tone. "Nemesis, let's allow them this long-awaited reunion. Come on, I'll let you drive me home." He told me, with a smile on his face. Why had he suddenly gone cold? I tried to remember meeting him in the past, and if we had ever come in physical contact before. "I really don't feel comfortable about leaving her alone with a woman that she doesn't know." I explained, knowing that Vic had a terrible jugement of character. “Of course I know her, Nemesis! She’s my mother!” Vic yelled from her bedroom window. “You don’t know her, Vic! I really think you need to wait until your dad get’s home, and let them sort all of this out! And since when do you call me Nemesis? What is wrong with you?” I yelled at her in response.
Stone Born Hidden Truth
I couldn't help but stiffen at his touch. The whole 'dream' about Namhaid, the saol gra 'bond', the supernatural world, it was all starting to feel like too much. "Nemi, are you okay?" Declan whispered into my ear. I nodded, not wanting to make them any more suspicious. After everyone else cleared out, it was just the four of us. "Nemi, are you sure you're okay? You just don't seem like your norm." Talia said, after a few minutes of uncomfortable silence. I was staring off into the distance, trying to picture the foresty area from my dream. Namhaid told me that he will never lie to me, and for some strange reason, I actually believe him. "Yeah, I'm just still a bit foggy, I guess." I told her, attempting to keep my train of thought, and carry on a conversation. "Nemi, you never did tell us why you ended up here without Vic." Cian offered an alternative subject matter. "I already said to ask Alexander." I snapped in response. Cian shot me a h

“Okay. You said you’d never lie to me. Why tell me that you’ve waited 700 years for me?” I asked him, giving him a glare. If looks could kill, he would have been dead in that moment. “It is… Complicated. I am not lying to you, I did wait 700 years for your arrival.” He said, simply. “How old am I?” I asked him, not sure if he knew. “Nemesis, you’re not supposed to ask about a lady’s age.” He said, jokingly. I huffed at his answer. “If my parents were fae royalty, why did I grow up in the human world?” I asked, wanting real answers to my questions. “Your parents were NOT fae royalty. However, the power that your tribe possesses can save the whole fae race.” He answered bluntly. “I was told that they- YOU WERE TOLD WRONG!” He interrupted before I could finish my statement. “Anyone other than me, who states that they are fae royalty, are ly
Stone Born Informant
I grabbed the blanket and pulled it around me. It was cold in the room, and I could feel the cold in my bones. I looked out the window, to see a blanket of winter caressing everything outside. The building overlooked a beautiful mountainside, with a thick forest as far as the eye could see. There were people walking around in the courtyard below, which was also covered in a thick blanket of snow. There was a huge stone gate surrounding the yards, and a drop down hatch to let people in and out of the courtyard. The sky had a beautiful purple hue, and I could see birds flying in the distance. ‘Purple sky?’ I thought to myself. I turned away from the window, and headed for the entrance to the room. I wasn’t surprised to find that the door was locked. I sighed, and went into the bathroom for a hot shower, before panic and frustration set in. The bathroom was just as grand as the rest of the room. The room see

“Was it Alexander?” I asked her, hoping that I didn’t already know the answer. She nodded. “His son Declan tried to claim saol gra, but the prince had already claimed you. He felt the bond the first time he was in your pregnant mother’s presence. “There was a whole trial after your parent’s deaths. Declan tried to make his claim to the fae high council, which is the only higher power that the royal families answer to.” She started. I nodded, urging her to continue. “The council temporarily denied the both of the claims, stating that both of them had to wait until you matured to lay their claims, and that you would be bonded to whomever you felt the connection to. You were supposed to go into protection, so you couldn’t be swayed either way, or succumb to magic to sway you. Alexander kidnapped you before you could be taken into that protection." I could feel the te
Stone Born Ancient Homecoming
I could feel it in my bones as we rode closer to the ancient castle. The stone colors in the mountain side changed from a deep brown to a black void. The grass grew darker until it was black in color as we approached the outer castlegrounds. "You're still sure you want to do this?" Gideon asked me, as we approached. I looked at him, and nodded. I was on the seemingly endless search for answers, and I was going to get them. As we got closer to the walls of the outer garden, I could see vines that looked like they were dripping with black ink. I reached out to touch one, only to get my hand slapped down by Gideon. "Don't touch those! You'll be asleep for a century, easily." He told me, realizing I was scowling at him. "What are they, anyways?" I asked him, still eying the sedative plant before me. "Nightshade's undertow. It is part of the deadliest gene of plants in the Fae kingdom. Don't touch it, unless you want to be either asleep or dead." He told me, almost glaring. "You know,
Stone Born History Lesson
Gideon sighed, and tried to usher me down another hallway. "Let me just do my thing.: I told him, frustrated, and wanting to explore more. "You don't know what memories this castle holds.... For more than just you." He admitted. I looked at him, seeing the sadness in his eyes. "We lost our King and Queen, their heirs, the rest of their whole tribe the day your parents disappeared. There are rooms in this place that I'll never enter again." He stopped to look at me. I tried to be interested in the paintings on the walls, then shifted uncomfortably. "What do you mean, 'When they disappeared?' My parents were killed." I asked him, then informed him. I shook my head, I could never get a clear answer out of anyone. "Nemesis, who told you that your parents were killed?" He asked me, a serious look in his eyes. "Pretty much everyone since this whole thing started, and I found out that my 'parents' aren't really my parents." I told him, continuing down the never-ending hallway. "They were ne
