Avery's Point Of View Her hands were still stretched out to me, waiting for me to take them. I looked around and back at the woman. “Take her hand,” Maya whispered calmly, nudging me gently. I knew what I wanted to do but for some reason I was hesitant. I had looked for the truth about my life and my situation but now it was staring me in the face. “Don't be afraid,” the strange woman whispered quietly, her hand still stretched out to me, as if she read my mind.And suddenly, I didn't know what I wanted anymore. I knew that if I took her hand my entire life would change but there was a pit in my stomach. A strange feeling of discomfort and fear. “Whatever you want to tell me, you can say it here and now, to the hearing of everyone,” I said firmly, raising my voice loud enough for everyone to hear. Gasps and whispers erupted from around us, formerly it was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. This was my last resort, I didn't want to fall for the same trap again. “No,
Avery's Point Of View “What are you saying?” I asked anxiously, searching his face for a response. He didn't look me in the eyes but didn't react either. “You must be joking,” I said after a while, chuckling loudly. There was no way any of this was true. It was simply impossible, not with how my life had gone so far. “I tell the truth my lady,” the physician finally said, raising his face to meet my gaze. “It's not possible, that can't be the truth,” I responded confidently, trying to calm myself down. “Listen, Sir, now is not the time for jokes, we need to find a way to save Amos,” I said urgently, brushing everything he had just said to the side. “No, my lady, I…” Before the physician could finish his sentence, Jake interjected, sounding very annoyed. “He has protected you since he found you, he is in this mess because of you, the least you can do is help him,” he said firmly, rolling his eyes at me. Those words shocked me to my core. I had never seen Jake act that way
Avery's Point Of View “Amos!!” I screamed again, tears rolling down my face. “We need to leave here quickly,” a familiar voice said urgently, turning the truck around. “Jake?” I asked calmly, finally figuring out whose voice it was. “Yes, it's me, Avery,” he responded swiftly, speeding away from the disaster in front of us. “What…what is going on?” I asked confusedly, my mind filled with too many questions. “I am going to need you to calm down, we will find a solution but you must be calm,” he said firmly, his voice breaking at the end. Betraying his very own words. “How can I be calm? Look at Amos, he is dying,” I said tearily, shaking Amos violently. There was a long stretch of silence but after a while, he spoke “He prepared for this,” Jake said calmly, a hint of pain lingering in his voice. “What do you mean?” I blinked confusedly, grabbing Amos's hand tightly. The more he spoke, the more confused I became and it made me very anxious. “Just wait a while,” Jake final
Avery's Point Of View “Avery!” The screams got louder and closer. I turned towards the young beautiful witch behind me and the man on the floor and then back at the crowd that seemed to approach me. Rubbing my eyes again, I struggled to believe what was before me. “How did they get in?” The witch shouted in frustration, her eyes widening with panic. “How did they find us?” She asked angrily, stomping her feet on the floor. No response came and I wondered who she was speaking to. I had heard whispers but hadn't seen any real creatures. “It’s over Natalie, just accept defeat,” a familiar voice said firmly. Raising my face in doubt I was shocked to see the wolf before me. It was Amos, I knew those eyes anywhere. But the aura around him was so strong, something I had never experienced. “Never, it can never be over!” She responded angrily, snapping her fingers and disappearing immediately. “She escaped!” Another familiar voice screamed in panic. But Amos just shook his head,
Avery's Point Of View “You know, we can all hear your thoughts right?” She said quietly, looking straight into my eyes. I paused for a minute, everything stopping around me. My heart was beating faster by the minute, and my smug smile dropped immediately. What did she mean by that? How could she hear my thoughts? What type of magic was in this place? “I don't believe you,” I said firmly, trying to keep my calm. The man who wanted to marry me seemed like he was in a hurry, if they could really hear my thoughts, he wouldn't have let me pretend to begin with. “No matter what you do, you can never escape this place so I suggest you make things easier for yourself,” she said again, taking a deep breath as she put the shoes on my legs. “W…what do you mean?” I asked confusedly, it came as a whisper. A lot of things didn't make sense to me. She had quietly done my bidding up until this point. If she had known what I was thinking, why didn't she act up and let me continue, feeling
Avery's Point Of View “Amos?” I whispered confusedly, watching the handsome man in front of me approach me. “Yes my love, I am here,” he responded with a smile. My smile quickly turned into a frown as I didn't recognize his voice. “Come with me,” he whispered softly, offering me his hand. I hesitated for a bit but finally took it. Immediately, my hand touched his, I took it back immediately. It felt like a sting, something was wrong. “What is it, my love?” He asked calmly, his brows furrowing. I wanted to say something but I didn't know how to explain what had just happened. I noticed his head turning to the woman who had dressed me up. He shot her a questioning look and she in turn touched my side. “Come on now, the auspicious time is about to pass,” she said calmly, a trace of fear in her voice. Whispers erupted from all the sides of the room but when I looked around, I saw no one. Taking his hand this time, I didn't sting anymore. I was even more confused and convi
