Eleanor instantly felt horrible.
"I am so so sorry."He just nodded."Based off the way that you described your dad, I get that it's pretty personal for you but if ever, you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you."He said nothing.Eleanor felt so sad. Mr. Montrier died. But how? He was so full of life and energy and he wasn't even that old. Was he sick? He was her best friend at a point. The topic of death made her mind wonder and she didn't like it. She looked up at Andreas and he looked pretty lost in thought too."So, what does orange mean?"He looked down at her "what?""Orange. What does it mean?"He shot her a look and looked away.She stared up at him."Stop staring.""I will if you tell me the emotion behind the colour."He said nothing. Just kept walking."Please?" She blinked sweetly, up at him.He exhaled heatedly "Bella.""You call me Bella now but you called me Eleanor when we were at thRelated chapters

They'd been walking for a while when Eleanor suddenly stopped. She was tired of the continuous circles her mind was going in. She wanted to think of something, other than Andreas and his rigidity and the voiceless faces that were out to kill her. Heck, she didn't even have a place to stay now. She didn't want to think about it anymore. About Anna knowing everything, the librarian and the book, the body from her dream, Al of it. She would get back to her life later but could she just get a breather for a while? Will looked back at her."What's up?""Will, can I get somewhere to stay? Hotel? Lodge?"He frowned. "Well, green garden hotel's a few streets away but why?""Can we go there? Please?"He observed her for a while and nodded. They walked for 45 minutes and came to a very beautiful garden with lights strewn in the grass."This is cute.""Come on."He led her through the door up front and they arrived at the reception, where she was able to

Eleanor came out a while later and let Will guide her. He was trying to maneuver between the dancing bodies when a man about the same height as him blocked them."Hey sweet thing. Wanna dance?""Back the fuck off."He looked at Will, smirked and walked away."Asshole. Come on."Eleanor saw that his grip had loosened and when they got to the middle of the dance floor, she bolted away."Eleanor! Fuck!" Will tried to go after her but the sea of bodies made it hard. How had she gone so far, so quickly? He managed to break out of the crowd and found another small crowd a few feet away. Please no. He got closer and saw her. In the middle of the crowd. With another girl. Having a dance battle. He had to bite his lip to stop himself from bursting into laughter. She was doing everything from the shuffle, to the wackiest break dancing he'd ever seen, to the robot and ended with a split that sent the crowd screaming.It's was funny till a Nicky Minaj song cam

Eleanor got a few shaky steps in and was trying to focus on the right floor when she was spun around and picked up. She squealed as her legs went around his waist and her arms fastened around his neck. Andreas began walking."You! Let me go."He just kept walking."I don't want to go back with you." She began to squirm. Andreas held on."Let me go. I want to walk. I can walk.""I know.""Let me go. I want to go back with Will. He's nice to me.""Really?"Her head fell on his shoulder."Mm-hmm, and he listens to me.""I don't?""No. I like Will."He stopped walking. "You like Will?"She rose her head. "Yes. He's good. And he's hot."He just nodded. She frowned."What did I ever do to you, huh? You're always mad at me."She rest her forehead against his and pouted. Andreas stopped walking. Their faces were so close. Their eyes, their nose rubbed against each other's, their lips...... She was drunk."Y

Andreas lay on his back with his arms cushioning his head as he stared at the blank ceiling. Sleep eluded him and to make matters worse, all he could think about was the kiss and Eleanor's words. The kiss that currently, was causing his brain to work a mile a minute. He didn't enjoy it. He just wanted to sleep. Sleep and forget all about it. Sleep and forget about how her lips had moulded to his and even though she was drunk and had done nothing more than press her lips to his in a bid to get away, it had felt so right. He wanted to forget how they fit together, almost unbelievably. How he wanted her to do it again and again. How he was already getting attached to her, when all she did was annoy him and cause him to worry non-stop. He sighed and looked to his phone. 3:34am. Knowing sleep would be impossible to attain at his current rate of thought and mental unease, he got up and walked out of the house. After attempting to come to terms with himself and failing miserably, he return

"I'm serious Bella, you got hit.''He gently pushed her hair away from her face to expose her cheek."And your hand-" he rose it and frowned. "-i need to cover up the wound.""Did... Did Liam really get beat up?"He nodded. She groaned."I am so sorry. I think I remember some idiots coming at us. I did nothing wrong, I promise...." She frowned, " I did nothing wrong right?"He shrugged. "I have no idea. I walked into a fight. From what I gathered, a man wanted you for himself and your friend refused."She scowled. "He must be the huge guy in my head. Stupid pervert.""I agree but I also understand what incited him."She looked at him like he'd just said the earth was a big ball of fart. "What?""Did you see your ass in those pants?"Her mouth fell open in anger "Well Will told me-" a deep frown suddenly took over his face and he stiffened but she ignored him, "- but it's not like i can sell my ass on e-bay. Besides, I wore sneak

Eleanor froze. Andreas was kissing her. His lips worked hers and that feeling exploded within her, filling her to the max, causing her ears to buzz and she... She kissed him back. Andreas sucked her lower lip into his mouth and heard her let out a shuddering breath as her hands gripped his shirt. A feeling of complete wholeness engulfed Eleanor as she tilted her head to deepen the kiss. By the time he pulled back by an inch, they were both panting."Feel familiar?"He whispered.She looked up into his bright purple eyes and swallowed. Wow. It was him. It was Andreas. She had- she froze. "D-did I force myself on you last night? I'm sorry-"He smirked "Now that you know it's me," his eyes trailed down to her lips and a shudder went through her "you won't kiss anyone else?" His voice deepened.She inhaled and looked around in thought. It was him. She had gotten that feeling because of him. She suddenly paled, what did that mean? She- crap! She liked him. She re

Andreas fed Eleanor while she sat beside him, frowning and thinking. She'd occasionally mention her thoughts to him and he'd give a response of his own. Suddenly, she frowned."Why are you feeding me?"He rose a brow and continued. She ate and cast him an odd look."You're being too nice. What's the deal?"He rolled his eyes and dropped the plate on the bed. She smiled, picked it up and started feeding herself, then blurted, "I think it's all connected. All this.... The shadows after me and Carl, he led me here. I think there's a connection." He hadn't read the book but he seemed to understand. She'd finished eating when she noticed that she hadn't felt any form of pain in a while. She dashed for the bathroom and peered into the mirror. He curiously followed and saw her staring at the mirror in disbelief, with her hand raised beside her."My face. The bruise is. . . It's gone. My palm too." She whispered and slowly turned to face him. "This isn't normal."

Eleanor watched as Anna's face fell and a tense silence ensued."Louise," she whispered. "I will forever be sorry about that, but-""You might be good at your future telling but don't.... Don't try to act like my advisor."He began to walk away with Eleanor's hand held tightly in his. Eleanor was tired of being ignored. She ran here for answers and she would get them. Her killer escape-- okay maybe not killer but! Her escape scheme wouldn't be for nothing. She pulled back her hand and he stopped when they were on the last step."Andreas, I get that you two have family feud but Anna is my friend. Don't drag me into this.""Louise, let me tell her," Anna pleaded.Eleanor looked between them. "Tell me what?""I'll tell her myself." Came his stern response."Stop this! The prophesy must come to pass!"He began to clench his fists.She frowned. Prophesy?"Don't you think it would be better if I tell her now so she can get prepared? T
