Never Too Far Vanessa K Novels & Stories

He glanced at the building one last time and scoffed. "I will have you to myself soon!" The contestants had made a camp fire around themselves. Anastasia tried to trace where venessa was with her eyes. She was only going to see her because spark was sad. Spark suddenly barked. She had found venessa sitting alone on the beach sands and throwing sands at the sea that danced forward and backward. "Vanessa!!!" Anastasia called but she acted like though she didn't hear. She turned away from anastasia's sight. Spark ran towards her and licked her face. She wiggled her tail at her in excitement and Vanessa brought out a box of chocolates.

Nonye was nowhere to be seen probably the only one disciplined enough to find a real bed. Stan wasn’t here. The realization was relief first, then dread. Because Stan always came back. Vanessa padded quietly toward the kitchen. The tiles were cool against her bare feet. She needed water, something to ground her. The villa fridge hummed as she opened it, the light spilling over leftover suya, bottles of soda, and one nearly-empty pack of Malta Guinness. She reached for water. The glass was cold in her hand, condensation slicking her palm. “Couldn’t sleep?”

She said, “I’m going to be blunt, Miles. Can’t you see what you’re doing here? “We are here, denying ourselves of good things, but you’re hogging all the goodies from Mom.” After the call, I wired a thousand bucks to Teresa. When the package arrived, I nearly burst out laughing. I thought I’d be spoiled, hence the phone call, but it was barely two pounds of anything worthwhile. The late-night texting sparked yet another fight between Cass and me. I came across an article about influenza and sent a reminder text to Sebastian to take our aging parents for their flu shots.

“Are you crazy? Do you know who he is?” “Don’t hold me back, Vanessa. All that matters to me is that no one hurts you!” I looked at how furious Vanessa was and felt my own temper cool. “Congratulations, Vanessa. You found a very loyal dog to drag around!” “Watch your tongue, Redmond!” “I wonder what you have up there in that brain of yours. Can’t you see your precious Vanessa’s expression? She looks like she just found out that someone died. Shouldn’t you consider why that is?”

Then Vanessa sighed, sounding almost hurt. “Alright. If that’s what you want. But promise me you’ll call me if you need anything. I’m your friend, Savannah. Always.” Savannah’s eyes blurred with tears again. “Thank you,” she whispered. “Goodnight.” She hung up quickly before her tears choked her voice. The phone slipped from her fingers, falling on the bed. Her body shook as another sob tore from her throat. --- But miles away, Vanessa wasn’t crying. She sat in a golden chair inside a luxury café, a glass of red wine in her hand.

Just as I was about to knock, a luxury van pulled up in front of the house. Out stepped Hilary, holding Lily's hand. "Mommy, that's the bad man!" Lily spotted me and pointed straight at me. Ignoring the murderous glare Hilary shot me, I turned toward the villa's entrance. "Nick!" she shrieked behind me. "Haven't you had enough?! Didn't you promise to leave us alone?! Go away!" She grabbed Lily and moved to push me back, but just then, the iron gate opened. An older woman with graying temples walked out.

she whispered, her voice barely audible as I stepped closer to her, pressing her between me and the wall as her hands came up to rest upon my chest as if that was going to be enough to stop me. “You’re a very bad girl,” I replied as I leaned in placing my hands on either side of her ear as I leaned in close to her. “Dressing like this…letting Brady have a part of you.” “It wasn’t like—” I scoffed, cutting her off mid-sentence as I rolled his eyes. “It isn’t like you? Who are you trying to fool, Vanessa? Because it certainly isn’t going to be me.”

I heard Noah deep voice bringing me out of my thoughts. I looked at him and blushed a little. Did he just call me sweetheart? My name is Vanessa, am just and ordinary girl my parents sold me off to a man and I escaped from him when u saw me am a nobody and I have nowhere to go but I promise I would be out of here soon” I said to them and looked down I wanted to cry about everything that had happened to far but I didn’t want them to see me as weak. “Ohh my goodness that so bad you must been through a lot Vanessa” the woman said to me and I looked up to meet her gaze and she looked at me with pity.

I thought. I knew where I dropped her. One of my favorite springs. I made sure to drop her where I knew the water was shallow just in case she didn't know how to swim. I dived and flew downwards after her. She kept screaming till she dropped into the water. I did three circles round the water and landed on dry ground. I lay on my side, my long tail curled behind me as I lay my head on the ground. Vanessa resurfaced shortly after wards. She coughed and gasped, looking around. Her eyes landed on me and her face twisted in a deep scowl. She walked out of the water in rage towards me.

"I am Veronica Vane. I am your one and only true Queen and Herald. No impostor can bring me down to the ground." I flew in front of Elspeth and whispered to her ear, "Even you, Elspeth… don’t have the capability to overpower me."
