You don't always have to be strong all by yourself.Let me be your anchor.---------------------------------------BLAIR I had been watching Mikael for the past few days. He seemed a little lost, what with his life transforming overnight. He had hidden the change in the color of his eyes by putting on contacts. But, there was no way he could explain how the scar on his face had miraculously vanished, leaving behind no sign that it had once been there. All the same, he was more of a mix of the Altan I'd first known and the 21st century Mikael Kane. He seemed to be unable to take his eyes off me and he would smile at me each time our gazes locked. The rest of the employees found it odd, but they didn't have the courage to point it out. Mikael would steal kisses from me, making my heart flutter even when I tried not to let it. Two days ago, he asked me out on a date and I agreed to go out with him. We ate together in an expensive, new restaurant and we talked about random things. N

There'll be oceans for us to tread, There'll be bridges for us to mend,But I'll stick to it,I swear.---------------------------------------BLAIR Mikael and I stared at each other, the tension in the air crackling. His question had caught me utterly unawares. I couldn't fathom how he'd discovered that killing myself had become the only way to escape the misery I felt, each time I lost the love of my life.Upset, he slammed his palm against the wall."Damnit, Athena! That wasn't supposed to become a part of you!" He exclaimed and I lowered my gaze."I couldn't bear it" I said, my gaze fixed on the ground."I couldn't bear the pain of losing you. I just couldn't do it, Altan" I croaked. I felt him approach me and lift my chin, tilting my head backwards a little. Our gazes met and I saw the mind numbing pain in his eyes."Altan-""Sh!" He whispered, brushing my hair out of my eyes. "If losing me caused you so much pain, I suggest you stayed away from me, because you might lose

LORENZO Multicolored lights illuminated the bar I'd walked into, three hours ago. Music played in the background and I zoned out on my stool. I stared at my glass of vodka for a moment. Then, I picked it up and downed it's content. Sighing, I ran my fingers through my hair. After leaving Mikael's home, there was one question on my mind. A question that I couldn't get the answer to. I'd stayed up last night, trying to figure out why Hera had chosen to get me reincarnated in this life time. Don't get me wrong, I want to live. But, what if the reason I was reincarnated, is to stop Mikael from being free from the curse? What if I was supposed to become Hera's secret weapon? These thoughts made me feel incredibly uneasy. Not that I could help it. "Hello, gorgeous" I turned to look at the woman now standing beside me, with a beautiful smile on her face. Her turqoise dress was sleeveless and it glittered under the lights. Her blonde hair was in a high ponytail and she was wearing b

We both have demons that we can't stand.I love your demons like the devil can---------------------------------------MIKAEL A brilliant white was all I could see. I couldn't hear a single sound and there was nothing in sight. Nothing but a blinding white color of everything. I started to walk aimlessly. It felt like I was in some sort of maze. Try as hard as I could, I couldn't figure out where I was or what was going on. This did not sit well with me, so I was worried."My boy" I froze. I could recognize that voice anywhere. I swallowed hard, not wanting to turn around. There was a fear of the unknown that was quickly filling me. "My boy, won't you look at me?" said the voice again. I slowly turned around and came face to face with the woman who'd carried me in her womb and had been reincarnated several times for that purpose. She looked as beautiful as she'd always been. Her grey eyes searched mine, her lips curved into a bright smile. She was wearing a white dress and her

There'll be mountain for us to climb,There'll be days when the sun won't shine,But, I'll stick to it,I swear.------------------------------------MIKAEL I stared at the rose imprinted on my upper arm, exasperated. The rose was still a bright red, fortunately for me. Just as I started to turn away from the mirror, I saw the rose turn blue. Then, it turned red as quickly as it had turned blue. Another wave of dizziness washed over me and I gripped the sink hard, my knuckles turning white. After a few seconds, the dizziness eased enough for me to walk out of the bathroom. When I walked into the bedroom, I found Blair sitting on my bed. She smiled when she saw me. "Lorenzo stopped by while you were still in the bathroom" she said and I slowly lowered myself onto the couch in my room. "Did he find out anything?" I asked and she sighed. "Not exactly" "Right" I muttered, resting my head on the head rest, my eyes slipping close. There was a throbbing in the back of my hea
