A Move to the EstateIt’s been a week. Elinor heaved a long sigh as she stood in the middle of her mother’s bedroom wearing a light blue cardigan that her mother had knitted for her sixteenth birthday.She hugged herself as her eyes scanned the room. Bonnie helped her clean it yesterday. It doesn’t change much. It still looked like how it used to be before, only that she would no longer see her mother pace around the room, or see her hunched over her desk where she used to knit.There is no warmth in it. The warmth of her mother that she longed to feel so much so it hurts.She figured that if she is to stay in this cabin by herself, she will live her life forever stuck. Her days would always be gloomy and unproductive because of the sudden death of her mother.It took her a week before she finally came up to Colin one afternoon and spoke for the first time in a couple of days.“I have made up my mind,” she said.Colin put down the paper or what seemed to be like a map that he’d been r

HerThe movement of whoever was in the forest was so fast that it disappears in a blink. Colin couldn’t catch its shadow, only the swaying of trees are left moving.His senses were heightened and were about to run through it, had he not heard Elinor’s voice calling him.“Colin, when did you get here?”He tore his eyes away from the dark forest across them and swallowed hard. He then looked over to Elinor, looking very soft in her light blue dress. It was the same dress she wear when he first saw her. The faint light of the afternoon sun hits the red locks dangling on the side of her face. Her hair was up in a simple bun, and she looked more beautiful than he remembered.“Just minutes ago. How are you?” He asks.“I feel a little bit better now, thank you,” she said, but her eyes are still the same. It was void of any happiness. And the heavens know how much he wanted to give anything to bring it back.Bonnie followed close behind her, Elinor looked over to her and back to him again.“W

The SurpriseSitting across Colin, Elinor thought to herself how this is the first time she gets to watch him this close and study his face as his hands were busily polishing a topaz.Earlier, when he told her about any of his plans today, she looked forward to seeing jewels again and not having the freedom to stare at his pretty face.But for the love of all the holy beings, this man right in front of her is a pleasant sight to see that she cannot take her eyes off his serious face.His thick dark brows twitched, his lips parting with concentration, and the few dark locks dropped on his forehead. Not to mention the light escaping from the red curtains hit a portion of his face where his scar is.Elinor does not understand it, really. How can someone insult him just by this one scar he has on his cheek?The rumors, Bonnie had told her while they were out in the lake. The story goes that some woman he liked by then regarded his face as unattractive, and the worst part of it all, Colin

A TrystThis is not what he had in his mind at all. In fact, he was not thinking or imagining anything about how Elinor would react once he gave her the necklace.Well, now that he thinks of it, he actually does have something in his mind. He pictured her smiling at him, pressing her body to embrace him in her surprise.But a kiss?Oh, good lord. Only he knew how much he longed to know what a kiss would feel like.And clearly, he is not disappointed. Indeed, it felt so damn good. Just like how he heard his older cousin narrate his experience to kiss a lady.It does something to him that he became afraid of the moment she let go of the kiss because he might not stop himself and pull away.But it seemed like he was not the only one feeling things. Because she felt Elinor grip the neckline of his undershirt, pulling him in for a deeper kiss.Seconds later, she pulled away but in a heartbeat, before he and Elinor could catch her breath, his right hand snaked behind her neck to pull her in

ExpectationsThe days in the household were unbelievably fast. Well maybe because she always finds a way to keep her mind and body occupied.Some other day, she helped one of Colin’s cousins in the garden. She spotted her carrying two huge baskets.She walked up to her asking if she can lend her a hand, which the young lady accepted with delight.“You don’t have to Elinor but since you offered help, I’ll accept it.” The young lady gladly said, handing one basket to her.“May I know your name?” Elinor asked, scratching her neck.“I’m Mauve. And I may look young, but I am about the same age as Colin.”Perhaps it’s because of the lady’s height that made Elinor thinks this lady in front of her is younger than her.They set out to the garden. The sun was not too bright because of the clouds and the tall pine trees that provided them shade. Winds blow their hair and dress as they go against it.Indeed, it’s a great day to pick fruits.They traveled not too far but passed the daisies and lav

Other CreaturesShe walked to Colin who was already looking at her, his whole body facing her.His eyes glimmered, like how the stars above their heads did at that very moment.Surely, the ring could wait. A little voice inside Elinor’s head said to her.The way he looked at her made her push every disappointment she had felt just seconds ago into the back of her mind.Forget about the ring.Colin met her halfway, half of his face was overshadowed, save for his blue eyes that pierced through her skin, seeing through her very soul.“You look perfect,” he said.Her lips parted at what he said. She could not hold his gaze, but when she tried to look at him, she found his eyes staring down at her lips and looked away.She looked over to Colin’s shoulder, her eyes meeting Bonnie and Mauve looking at the two of them. They hit their shoulders when they noticed her.“I thought..” she trailed off.“You thought?” Colin raised his brow a bit.“That it’s just gonna be you and me but I misundersto

The TruthElinor stared at the dusty old page of a book. In it was a painting of a woman she now knows as Esmeralda.“I found it in the very old section of books inside a public library.”Her fingertips traced down the woman’s floating hair. The paper was crisp and thin because of the times it endured to survive inside that library.A light press on the paper and she is certain the whole thing would dismantle.Max secured the page with a stand and clear cover so that its pages will not be blown by the wind. It looked so fragile that may have been the reason why Max decides to paint the woman on his canvas just in case the whole book would break into smaller pieces.“I was just looking at the section when I saw this. The book was already opened for anyone to see. That’s how my eyes caught her,” Max said.“I dreamt of her,” she said.Max’s eyes widened with shock.“Are you certain?” He asked.But Elinor had never been more certain in her life. This is the woman. The one who changed the

The Deal BreakerA moment of silence grew between the two of them. Her green eyes locked with Esmeralda’s bright blue ones.Her brows furrowed with confusion. “Me? Bring you… back to life?” she shot back, and no matter how hard she tries, she cannot make sense of it.“You heard it right, Elinor,” Esmeralda replied, her face serious, no hint of jest in her voice.“But that is impossible. To raise someone from the dead is just impossible.”Above their heads, the full moon appeared as the wind blew the thick clouds that once covered it. The two of them stand face to face with each other, their intertwined hands in between them.“It is not impossible, at least for someone like you, Elinor. Raising someone back to life is a possible task for you are the second hybrid of a werewolf and witch”Hearing that felt as though some unseen force hit her whole body, making her shiver, her strength slipped away and if not for Esmeralda holding her hand, she might as well be rolling down the hill for
