¬Amolet
I’m putting off getting out of bed this morning.
I’m sure I’ve slept less than an hour, tossing and turning thinking about Cian and Lev. Eventually I decide I can’t just lay in bed for the rest of the day, and that I need to eventually face the world, even if I don’t want to.
Muttering to myself, I drag myself from bed and numbly pull clothing over my limbs, hoping Cian will tell me we can just return back to where he will let me sleep all day. I’m sure if I asked him he would allow me to, but I don’t have the heart to ruin this mission anymore than I likely am. Cian is just being nice, keeping me safe, I don’t wan
¬AmoletI nearly topple over in shock.Not only is the fact that Cian is gone, nowhere to be seen, and I’m standing in a snowy labrinth absolutely terrifying, but I’m standing before Stace, who last time I checked, wants to lock me away from Cian for my own ‘safety’. And now he stands before me, looking like he is going to eat me alive."You need to send me back,” I say immediately. I’m not sure how he got me here, away from Cian, but I need to go back. What if Cian is looking for me? As I turn to look over my shoulder, realising with horror that I’m atop a mountain, similar to Sinful’s, but everything below this cliff is
~AmoletI’m not sure what I expected, but this isn’t it.For a moment I’m so surprised, so taken aback I’m convinced Cian has taken me to the wrong place. We are on the edge of another mountain, however this one is capped with snow, and isn't surrounded by a wonderful view of distant villages dotted with sparkling lights. Instead, right below the rocky outcrop we stand on, is a massive ravine, gorged into the mountain leading all the way out to the horizon.Grabbing a hold of Cian’s arm tightly, I push away from the edge of the cliff, wary of the slipping rocks that scatter down into the jagged bottom of the ravine.
~AmoletMy head rests back against the couch, my eyes closed."I can't believe we agreed to that."Cian laughs, although it sounds tense. We reluctantly agreed to Hale’s terms, then left almost immediately. Involving another Immortal was the last thing I wanted, and Cian seems to share the same sentiment, which only worries me more. I still feel shaken after meeting Hale. He is definitely a strange man, one who I don’t want to spend much more time around, even if I’m going to have to.
~Amolet"What do immortal’s eat, anyway?"I glance around the corner and into the living room, where Cian sits, reading a book he plucked from my bookshelf. Seeing him with it reminds me of how him and I came to speak to each other. I brought him a book to read, even if it was a childish one. My plan with that was to bait him into speaking, which worked well in my favour. Now it’s been two full days with him in Lev and I’s apartment."Worry about yourselves before me,” he responds distractedly.
~AmoletThe bed shifts as I gently crawl out of it, trying not to wake Lev.Despite the information I revealed to Lev that is life changing for the both of us, he had no issue falling asleep. I, however, have spent far too long staring at the ceiling into the darkness, wondering what I’m going to do about my messed up life. Should I tell Cian, should I not tell Cian?Now I’ve decided laying in bed next to a peacefully sleeping Lev isn’t going to do me any good, and I’m more likely to lay thinking over actually getting any sleep.
~AmoletWe don’t have any other choice. I have to wrap my fingers around Cian’s arm, deciding I’m not about to touch Sinful, and allow him to take me to whatever dark, cruel whole the Sin Wrath lives.My apartment dissolves around, a flicker of darkness being all that I can see before my feet touch ground, and I’m officially back in the immortal realm...And not where I expected to be.We aren’t in a dark cave like I expected, but instead in a foreign looking forest, the trees that shroud the small dirt path we stand on like nothing I’ve seen before. They block most of the sunlight, but what does make it through the canopy dapples down over us, offering a small amount of warmth. Mingling amongst the trees, are a v
~AmoletShe knows we are mates. How, I don't know, but she knows.Cian’s gaze seizes me, but reveals nothing. Panic overwhelms me as I realise everyone in this room is genuinely expecting me to walk up and kiss him, despite the fact that he is my mate and this is the last situation I want to be in when I reveal to him that we are. I would hate to know what Ira would do with that information once it has been confirmed."Absolutely not,” I say firmly, backing up a wary step toward the door. Not that running out is of much use now. Now when I’m here, and none of them would even have to chase me to bring me back here.
~AmoletThe moment we land back in the mortal realm, I feel as though I can breathe again.Lev doesn’t stick around, disappearing into his room. I’ll have to talk to him about the kiss later, and apologise endlessly for bringing him into this mess. Sinful left Hale to sweet talk Ira some more, and intelligently returned back to the immortal realm. I want to kill him for bringing Lev into this, even though I knew it was his way of distracting Ira, giving her something to concentrate on that isn’t taunting us.Had he not been there, I may have had to kiss Cian, and to reveal that we are mates in front of Ira is exactl
