I Can't Save Us My Atlantis We Fall Novels & Stories

Anyone but me, since I was no more than human now. He raced forward, arms outstretched to pull me back. "No!" I made myself tilt forward, and in the next second, I was falling. I felt Atlas's fingertip brush against my ankle, one second too late. The ground was rushing up to meet me. Atlas jumped too, his determination to save me written on his face. Time seemed to move slowly. The wind dried my tears before they even fell. I forced my lips to curl slightly, giving him one last smile.

Allie nodded at Nigel, who let Summer go and stepped back. “It's ok, Summer, go,” I told her. I saw her step away slowly, never taking her eyes off me. -Run- I shouted to her as I threw the drink down my throat. -Don't give up, Quinn. I promise Liam and Nathan will come for you.- -Issokay- I mind linked, feeling dizzy as Nigel picked me up. The last thing I heard before I passed out was Summer’s voice. - Nathan is your mate. He will come for you. Stay safe. I love you-

I couldn't make out his face, but his voice was deep and haunting. "Sophia," he called out to me, desperation lacing his words. "I have been trapped here for so long, waiting for you to find me. Please, help me." Though I couldn't see him clearly, I sensed his pain and longing. He reached out to me, his hands shackled by chains that seemed to drain the very life from him. "You must save me, Sophia. You have to help me out" I wanted to help him, but I couldn't move. I was rooted to the spot, unable to reach out and touch him. As I struggled to break free from my invisible bindings, the man's voice grew fainter, and the room around me began to blur and fade.

I am not interested in anyone else but Atlas, so all of this is dedicated to my love for him. I had expected my conversation with Atlene to go successfully and differently than it went. I had thought that maybe, just maybe he would be sensible enough to join me in my plan, so both of us could take over the world and everything in it, just for the people that we wanted. But men will never cease to amaze and disappoint you. They are like egoistic babies with so much strength to cry, but no ability to exact any real change. When you need and expect them to to come out guns blazing and ready to fight, they appear with feathers and wings, squawking away like the chickens that they are.

Alex suddenly felt bad for how harsh he had sounded and the wrong thing he had said to her but Athena ignored him and started walking away. He followed after her and when she got to the field, she sent one of the guards to call the commander of the Antarti warriors. "Trenton, I need you to gather your most trusted fighters. There's something you must do. The mediums have surfaced again and Alex's unselfish family needs to be saved. He'll be going with you," The commander bowed. "But we have to stay back in order to—" "Can you fucking do what I ask you to do without giving stupid excuses?" Athena thundered.

~Selene~ Everything is happening so fast that it’s hard to keep up with. I watch Apollo save Atlas, then get himself into a horrible situation. Atlas saves Apollo and then stops. My heart is practically beating out of my chest as I wait to see what will happen next. “NO! NO, No, no….”

It was about replacement. Her voice dropped to a whisper, barely audible beneath the weight of truth. “Then one of us has to fall.” Across Atlas Adrian moved.

Atlas grinned to himself, shook his head to get rid of the thoughts and entered the elevator. The moment Atlas left the building, he already forgot the existence of that woman. To him, she's just one of his many one night stands. She won't be the last and certainly, the odds of them meeting again is fairly low. Atlas just came here for a business meeting. Tomorrow, he's back in his country and probably won't set foot here again. *** Cassandra squirmed in her seat, if she could melt the seat in front of her with her glares, she probably already destroyed it. Once she arrives at the godforsaken place, she will wreak havoc on whoever bought her the ticket.

"YOU GO UP TO MEET YOUR FRIEND AND GO DOWN TAINTED WITH ANOTHER MALE'S SHI* AND THEN YOU PREACH TO ME ABOUT EXISTING IN AN ETERNITY WITHOUT ME!" He was not listening to her, and if she did not find a way to stop him, Atlantis was going to fall apart over their heads. She wished Nereus was here to calm him down or at least side with her. "Cetus, it was beyond me... will you refuse to hear the voice of reason?" "YOU HAVE BETRAYED ME! WHAT REASON IS THAT YOU SPEAK OF AFTER WHAT YOU HAVE GONE AND DONE?"

She twisted it slowly, pain blooming in her chest. “You’re trying to save me,” she whispered. “And I’m trying to save you.” She let the tears fall this time. Outside, somewhere beyond her reach, Ethan was making his own vow. And neither of them knew how much longer the balance could hold.
