Novel & Cerita M Y Serenity

“Or are you planning on doing something to quiet me?” “No,” Serenity gasps, her eyes growing wide. When she looks like that, she reminds me so much of Denali, and it makes my heart squeeze. “Come with me.”

The videographer gave a thumbs-up and discreetly exchanged a glance with me. My phone rang, and it was Beatrice calling. I answered, "What’s up?" Beatrice chuckled. "What an impressive composure, Lily. The internet is flooded with criticism of you, yet you remain so calm." Her purpose for this call was definitely not to exchange pleasantries, so I feigned concern. "I must admit, it's been quite challenging for me too. How about you clarify the situation?" "Well, Lily, you aren’t that great after all. It won’t be difficult for me to clear your name." Beatrice seemed quite satisfied with my attitude as she directly laid out her conditions.

Serenity let out her breath roughly, and swallowed her saliva with some difficulty at once. "Now, just follow your instincts, My Lady." Lizea muttered back to Serenity about what she should do. Without saying anything, Serenity immediately extended her right hand, in order to touch the glass barrier now. For a moment, Serenity was silent, then closed her eyelids tightly, while regulating her breathing there. After Serenity felt much better, she opened her eyelids again, and moved closer towards the glass barrier with her right hand extended now. Until not long after, when Serenity's right palm managed to touch the glass barrier, she immediately frowned deeply there.

Death was better than going back to River Valley and being tortured for failing my mission. The leader made a deadly swiping motion across his neck and exited the room. “Your last wish will be granted. I am going to let you in on a little secret. Serenity is a witch.” My mouth opened, and I felt two hands on the side of my head, and that was the end.

Serenity licked her lips as the man started. “You’re not drugged, you’re quite lucid actually and you’re not dreaming.” He watched for her reaction, before continuing, “You’re still Serenity Monaghan. Born July eleventh, nineteen-ninety-nine, in a dingy little rest stop bathroom, just outside Las Vegas; to Penelope and Frank Monaghan. You were left on the steps of Jasmine Lounge, a brothel in the red-light district of Santa Fe, New Mexico, at two days old. It’s where you first learned of your powers, at thirteen years old. You fled the brothel after that and have been on the run ever since. You still have blue eyes and blonde hair. You still have a nose piercing and a bad attitude… and you c

And as the final flame was born—not hers, not Maeron’s, not Atheira’s—but theirs— Serena whispered: “May this one burn not from pain… but from peace.”

After a bit more talk, the phones were hung up. Serenity got up from her computers and moved to the window, it looked like hell out there. She wasn’t sure what to do to be honest. She kind of felt like she should go somewhere, but she was a shut in really. She saw the water pulling out from the bay far below her. She hoped that when the water came back, it would be the last time it happened. ______Jormungand______

Serenity: “Have no fear. I am on my way. But don’t try to change the subject. We have Professor Davis’s class soon, and then you will be on your own, so good luck with that!” When Serenity arrived at the shop, she ran up to Crystal and gave her a big hug. Crystal knew it was Serenity, so she did not struggle, but when they parted, Crystal said, “I just found out that you’re a secret agent and that you’re working for Nathan. What is your purpose in approaching me? Tell me!”

Her breathing matched his, becoming slow and calm. In the quiet of the dimly lit room, wrapped in the scent of sandalwood and the beautiful safety of his embrace, Serena finally closed her eyes. Safe within the arms of the monster who would destroy the world to keep her breathing, she drifted into a deep sleep. And there, in the quiet aftermath of blood and fire, they slept together, bound by a dark, unbreakable thread.
