Bastion watched Autumn sitting in her seat, crumbling with hurt and regret.

Some heartbreaks, you only witnessed—helpless, hidden in the shadows. Some nights echo. Bastion remembered one—shadows stretched across the hallway, the clock ticking loud and uneven. Voices rose from downstairs, sharp and raw, slicing through the quiet. He slipped from his room, bare feet silent on the cold floor, and crept to the top of the stairs.

Below, Autumn’s words cracked with urgency. “You have to believe me, A

  • Come Be With Me, The End Is Here   50. Planning for the future

    They've been home for weeks now, and their hair was still pink until one day they felt their first raindrops in months. For months, all they had was dew to nourish and wet the grounds. But not today, as they rushed to the shelter as the rain came pouring down fiercely. Their hair turned back to its original color. It didn't take long for the weather to change into a full-blown thunderstorm.Autumn looks out the window. “You think it's going to stop soon?”Bastion stood behind her, looking out the window as well, “it's already late evening, even if it does stop, it will be dark.” Bastion looked at Autumn, who had become his companion, and it brought them comfort, support, and happiness. The storm didn't let up; it reminded them both of being on that ship during one of the most horrific storms ever! The only good thing about now was that they were on solid ground. Things got much cooler as the wind whipped through the trees. They gathered together closely as the wind whistled through th

  • Come Be With Me, The End Is Here   49. The Two Become One

    The next morning, it hadn't dawned yet outside. Autumn began to stir at the sound of the birds whistling in the colorful bamboo garden. She hadn't opened her eyes, but she could feel the warm air causing the fine hairs on her neck to rise. Her drowsy eyes and unclear mind tried to wake up more fully.Then she heard a sound very close behind her say, “mmmm...”'Then I felt Bastion's arms take hold of me from behind, pulling my body to his body. He had his shirt off, and I could feel his bare chest pressing against my back. I slowly moved my head back a little to see his face. My heart began beating so fast as I quickly glanced at him. I grabbed hold of my chest, blushing once more as I looked into his face, turning back around,d giggling at the thought of me actually being this close to his body. But then, to my surprise, Bastion buries his face into the crook of my neck and hair.'Autumn lay there and let herself enjoy being wrapped close to his nude body. It was her first time in thi

  • Come Be With Me, The End Is Here   48. Marriage Bond

    He began to smile as he watched her face in fascination. Autumn could feel his eyes on her, but she gazed up at the silver ribbons of moonlight that reflected in this most wondrous part of the garden.Bastion sat there watching her sway from side to side like a beautiful midnight butterfly. Her voice and dance mesmerized him. Her hair twirled, swirled, spinning in the open air under the colorful lights. His feelings stirred in him as if she were like a sprite that came from out of nowhere and would vanish at any moment. It was strange; the effect she had on his body was ever stronger. All his senses focused on the sight of her and the high, sweet sound of her ability to sing.There was no music that Bastion could hear, only the sound of her graceful leaps in harmony with the tune she sang. His thoughts drifted as she glided through the night air like a gentle butterfly. The strength of his reaction to her alarmed and electrified him. Especially when she took flight, gracefully and eff

  • Come Be With Me, The End Is Here   47. Holy Grounds

    Autumn took hold of Bastion's hand, pulling him into the colorful bamboo trees with her. They had walked miles away from their shelter that evening. The colorful bamboo trees seemed to form a tall gate, covering a sacred place in this astonishing garden-like park. The colorful trees were bound together with strong vines, making the bamboo look like a sturdy wall! You could clearly feel it was a place protected from harm, preventing any evil forces from entering. But Bastion and Autumn were easily able to slide in between the trees. Immediately when they entered, their eyes widened! They could see this place was sacred! There were beautiful, bright colors like lights reflecting off the trees all around them."Wow! This is gorgeous!" Autumn says aloud, truly amazed."Shhh...quiet!" Bastion whispers, all nervous, looking around with his eyes as his feet freeze in place.“This is holy ground we are standing on.” Autumn snickers at Bastion's large, expressive eyes, filled with fear. But

  • Come Be With Me, The End Is Here   46. Attraction, Urges & Desire

    For weeks now, Bastion and Autumn have stayed busy planting and harvesting in this beautiful garden. It was time to begin preparing for the cool rainy season ahead. They would get up early and sometimes be away from the shelter all day, working. For the most part, they were happy together, with neither the guidance nor the restrictions of society. There were emotional and physical changes that were clearly emerging as they reached young adulthood and fell in love. The experience was a little stressful for them because of their lack of true experience in human sexuality. Bastion wondered how he should proceed to offer her true love? And when should it take place? Of course, he wanted things to happen naturally, but they were still earning so much more from one another with so much more to discover. They spent their evenings after a long day of work by the refreshing waterfall. It felt like their own little oasis. Swimming, relaxing, and enjoying warm evenings talking about all sorts o

  • Come Be With Me, The End Is Here   45. Only Two Humans

    The next morning, for the first time, Autumn awakened first! Daylight hadn't quite broken through the clouds above. She hadn't slept this peacefully in months. Months before she departed on the ship with her aunt and Bastion, rest didn't come easily, knowing she would have to leave her family. Then, after surviving the end of all ends, she discovers her dear aunt didn't make it. Weeks of being hungry and barely eating, sleeping on the bare ground in the same clothes for weeks. Some nights, no rest was found out in the thunder and rain, but most nights, you were smothered in the tropical heat. But since Bastion has brought her to this gorgeous environment, it feels like she is starting a new life—filled with nothing but happiness. 'Happy' isn't even close to the word to describe how she felt.She climbed out of her bed, twisting her hair up into a bun. Autumn looked through the tall gift basket Bastion gave her, filled with lace, silk, and satin robes, and all types of underwear and b

    Questions swarmed Bastion’s mind. The girl—cowering, trembling—wasn’t the Autumn he thought he knew. Pity twisted in his chest at the fear in her eyes. Wide. Round. Too human.Too much like him.

    A sharp knock. The door creaks open. Autumn freezes. Her aunt's silhouette looms in the doorway. Autumn’s eyes go wide, pleading—don’t ruin this, Bastion. Play along. Don’t let her see what’s really happening here. The air shivers between them, thick with secrets.“Hey, Auntie—he was trying to get
