As Gabriel sat in his small apartment, lost in thought, his phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number. Curiosity piqued, he unlocked his phone and read the message that appeared on the screen:"Protect Scarlett at all costs. Danger approaches. Trust in your bond."Confusion and concern filled Gabriel's mind. Who could have sent this message? And why was Scarlett in danger? He quickly dialed Scarlett's number, his heart pounding with worry."Gabriel?" Scarlett's voice sounded anxious over the phone. "Did you get a strange message too?""Yeah, I did. Scarlett, we need to talk. Meet me at our secret spot," Gabriel said, his voice trembling with urgency.Minutes later, they found themselves hidden away in their secret haven - a small, abandoned treehouse deep within the woods. As they settled down, Gabriel recounted the cryptic message he had received.Scarlett's eyes widened with alarm. "This can't be a coincidence, Gabriel. I've been feeling a presence lurking in the shadows, fo

I am standing in a room that is dark, lit with candles on chandeliers, I do not understand, where the hell am I? This looks like a scene in the series Reign, I am standing in what looks like a throne room, how am I standing here if I have never set foot in this place but I can smell the air in here smells like this place has been around for centuries, the temperature is bearable and that is saying a lot, I'm a Scottish lass so I can handle the cold but this? How are the candles still lit?Out of nowhere two people, or not people, since they have wings, one has black wings that look like they have spikes on the end which are red and the other has a white wing with a very shiny crown on her head, she is beating the devil out of that lad, I can tell you that much.Are those blackout curtains?

I was better prepared for a dream this time; It was not as pleasant as the one I had previously, no this time was more gruesome.A shadow followed a beautiful woman, with dark curly hair, it looked very natural, With the greenest orbs I have ever seen they would make any emerald shy. and a cheerleader body, she was wearing tennis shoes and a bottle green cardigan that was unbuttoned with a white vest, and a pair of straight-cut light wash blue jeans. She was running from it in a sweat, her heart racing in fear. she knew the shadow was following her, she could not have been older than 16. Before she could reach her destination the shadow caught up with her own shadow. It seemed as if the two shadows were wrestling and then the girl just slumped down, face ashen as if she had died weeks ago.I knew this was New Orleans because there was loud Jazz music, the way the streets were set up with that homey feeling, and the culture was so engulfing, I went to look up when the New Orleans Jazz f

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is your pilot speaking; We have reached our destination. We now ask that you please fasten your seatbelts for landing, thank you for flying with Delta Airlines. I stretch out of my sleep and fasten my seatbelt. I had a cup of coffee and some crisps on the first flight and got a Mega McMuffin on the Atlanta layover, I am not sure if it was hunger from all the walking or boredom from all the waiting because I had waffles and berries on the flight from Amsterdam with another coffee and two bottles of Fiji water. Any hoots, 16 hours later, I am jetlagged AF, a bit famished from that six-hour second flight, waiting for my duffel bag to make its way to me, I did order a taxi service but I am wondering if I shouldn't just make my own life easier and rent a car? lord knows how long I will have to be in the States.

The vibe is all there, and everyone is friendly.I walk straight up to the bar which is manned by the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She has the palest skin, like someone who does not enjoy the sun, and her hair is as white as snow. But her eye, oh her eyes are what draws me, it is the strangest shade of blue I have ever seen, it's pale blue but more like silver than blue, and she is built like a runner.It is rather loud, and since the guy at the car rental place had difficulties understanding me because of my Highlander accent, I taped on my phone to ask if it is okay to have Tom in here and hand the phone to her, she nods her head looks at me then starts typing on my phone with a smirk she hands it back.: "Cat got your tongue?" I burst out laughing,"You're a funny one! A few people had a hard time understanding me due to my accent! I'm Scarlette!" I yell over the music and

I must have fallen asleep during one of the books, which month is beyond me. At some point Tom must have snuck out, to my memory I left no door or window open. Another mystery. I think a day out in nature should do me wonders. So I heat up my last cup of Joe, and finish off my leftovers. I must jump into another shower even though I will just be sweating in the sun again. My hike through…… is unbelievably beautiful, the view doesn’t compare to home in the slightest but it brings me closer to nature and calms my soul, as I sit on the wooden planks with my feet hanging off into the lake I hear footsteps behind me but I feel no fear so I am unbothered. “What is a beautiful woman doing all by herself in the woods?” “Good day to you too lad, I thought it was a hiking trail?
