Bella's POVHer hands clutched to mine, tightly glued to it like a vice unwilling to let go. Her legs dashed into the dense forest, pulling me alongside her as we pushed through the trees, her grip firm and unyielding.My head spun with thoughts: guilt and pain. We shouldn’t have left him back there like that. Oh God, Ryan, I'm sorry. After all, he saved us, and we just ditched him the moment we got the chance. Fuck! It's not fair.The vibration of my heart shook my rib cage, my mind a whirlwind of confusion, my head a total mess, my eyes burning with anguish. The pain is too much for me to bear, not alone. Damn!He'll hate me forever. God!! I have to go back. I can't just leave him there all alone.Adrenaline coursed through my veins, my body burning with rage, fueling the growing strength in my muscles, my eyes fixed on Chloe's tight grip, visualizing how I'm gonna pound them.I found strength, even in my weakness, just enough to break free. I struggled with her as we ran, slowin

Bella's POVMy eyes flipped open, my skin warming slowly, my body aching painfully, my breath faltering, my mind saturated. My eyes met the darkness glowing around me. The only light I could see was the warm glow of the moon. I felt the rumbling of my belly. Anxiety washed over me as I scanned the area.The last I could remember was being taken by rogues; now I find myself in an isolated camp, deep in the heart of the woods. My heart pounded heavily inside my chest, each throb sending shivers down my spine. My body shook violently, and the cold of the night seeped into my skin. The air around me is thick with the scent of pine and the chilling scent of the damp earth. My ear is filled with the chatter and the indistinct howls of wolves in the distance, the chirping of insects, the hooting of owls. They all formed a symphony of confusion and danced to the sweet melody that was already playing in my troubled mind.I stood up from the rough bed I found myself lying on. My senses are on

Bella's POVThe thick scent of the smoke filled the air. The burning boat smoldering in the waters as we all watched, tears dripping down our cheeks. The smoke travelled deep into the sky, thick with grief and pain. The loss of one, the weight of the pain, the weight of being the savior of the world, just so overwhelming. My chest is locked with untold pain. I looked into their teary faces, their eyes burning with hurt. The names of the dead are whispered softly, their faltering breaths and quivering voices accelerated the pain. One after another they called, tears flowing down my cheek, standing alone in their midst, feeling the winds carry the names away. I wish it could take the pain too.We all watched the boat vanish in the silent waters, the lingering pain sulking my heart.All around me, their annoying whispers were endlessly growing, constantly reminding me I need to something. Something, anything, but I have not a single idea what to do.“The sacred river is poisoned.” I hea

Bella's POVI must say, training has not been easy for me. Everyday, I have to meditate, I have to walk through realms, I have to be examined. Damn, it's just too much, I never expected all these.After enough rigorous training under the prying eyes of the elders, they finally granted me some rest.“You can retire for now. We'll continue in a week.” Nexus breathed into my ears.Phew!Finally, I get a break. Damn. The weight of everything, it just pressed down hard on me right now. I'm tired, but my mind is strained. It's overworked, overwhelmed, completely exhausted.My legs pushed through the corridors, it felt like I carried the weight of the world on my shoulders.Also, all these while, all I've been thinking about is my savior, my joy, Ryan.Somehow, thinking about him makes me focused. Memories of our annoying time together, you know, our banters, his warm touch, the joy we shared, even though we hid it from each other. Most importantly, the pain of our fucking separation, that a

Chloe's POV The air buzzed with activities. Everyone seemed to be running around, rallying round just to get things set. I know she felt on top of the world. Being the queen of the moment, damn. The rustling of leaves, the endless chatter, the atmosphere and the blooming moon, it all sent shivers down my spine.I know she'll be strong.I squeezed her hands softly, my eyes beaming with pride, but something else also lurking; concern. I felt it. My best friend being the one to save the fucking world, astounding.But also, I knew she was not ready, fuck!I looked into her eyes, my face beaming with smiles, but was met with something else, fear.“Hey. What's the matter?”I held her weak hands and caressed it softly. She's scared.“I wonder if I'm ready for this journey.” Her quivering voice broke my heart.“Just look at the way they all believe in me, but I don't believe in myself. I pray I don't fail them, just as I've always failed myself.”The pain was evident in her eyes. She's been
