As if deaf to the woman standing over her, she continued her quiet chant. "Once upon a time, in an empire long fraught with war, there lived a saint who loved her people." Away she would drift, deep into the endless abyss, into the belly of darkness. Away so far that when the light chased, when the torch flared, she would not see it.

In effect, it was a lounge exposed to the elements, complete with a fixed dining table under an awning. “Hey! Beatrice, stop!” Claire said, voice firm but panic shaving the edges.

All he could focus on was the pounding in his chest and the sharp, cold weight in his pocket. This was it. His first real score.

she finally whispers put and turns away from me and she looks into the ocean like it will give her the answers. I look toward the ocean too, the storm is here it’s strong like they said it will be, the waves are angry, hitting the shoreline giving us a warning not to come in or will take us. The rain is pelting against my skin, the wind is howling reminding me what our nature is, a flash of lighting lights up the sky and at that moment I look at Athena again, and she’s there looking like a goddess, soaking wet like she just came out of the water, as a goddess, and is waiting for me to take me away with her.

"I love you, Emma." Heartbeats furiously. Palms sweaty. Blood rushes to my cheeks to give them a pinkish. My palms unsure of where they should be, stays still.
