River declared. Megan chuckled. “I know and Coco wuvs you too and so I do I.” She said pulling River’s jammie shorts and shirt on. “Now, brush your teeth, while I check on your brothers.” With that Selene walked in. “Nana!” River bounced over to her. “Hi princess. You all nice and clean?” She asked nuzzling River. River giggled. “C’mon Nana we find book to wead.” River pulled Selene to the bookshelf. “Dada start wead us dis one.” She said pulling out the Lion, the Witch, and the wardrobe.

I became so depressed that I had to leave school. My mom and dad were so worried that they flew from far away Itania to Amestia to see me. However, their plane crashed, and they did not make it. When I heard the news, I was so upset that I fell into a deeper depression, and I felt utterly broken inside. Then there was Alice, all shiny and pretty, looking at me like she was better than everyone. "I remember when I first saw you," she said. "You looked like a princess, and Mark was like your knight in shining armor.

"A miracle." The First Silence They waited. The water lapped at their toes, calm, not expectant. The current seemed to move in time with Nya's pulse. Light shimmered across its surface, catching no reflections, only stories—scenes flickering just beneath: children walking, flames rising, hands held, blades dropped. Maera tilted her head. "Do you hear anything?" Nya nodded. "Everything." "And yet… nothing." "That's how rivers speak. They don't raise their voices. They wait until you're finally listening."

We are standing on the edge of a cliff, the land dropping steeply beneath us, revealing a river far below. The water stretches endlessly, shimmering under the golden light of the late afternoon sun, rippling with a soft breeze that carries the faintest scent of earth and water. From up here, the river looks like a ribbon of liquid gold, weaving through the landscape, reflecting the sky above. The world feels silent, save for the distant rush of water and the occasional whisper of wind against the rocks. There are no crowds, no city noise—just us.

Klaus would think I stay there only for the pup. I went to the river for the first time since Jackson took me. I was nervous, and I sniffed the air, but there was nothing that smelled of danger around. Shift back and threw myself into the river. The water was cold, and I swam up and down until my muscles ached. I went back home and got a sandwich from the kitchen. I didn't feel like having lunch. I went to the bedroom and looked for an e-book to read on my new tablet. I chose “My Best Friend & I,” a short erotic story by A.P. Morgan that would take me all afternoon to read.

River Black River stared at Aelnith, looking up at him. He seemed like a phantom, pale hand extended, his eyes phosphorent red. It seemed like an unspoken deal, some gamble she didn’t understand the rules of if she took his hand. She felt so weak, so tired, that it was hard to think clearly, and all she wanted to do was go -home-.

Everything is going well until her mother gets a phone call, and goes off to the study and locks herself there. Getting bored, Riveria leaves the Tv on and goes up to her room. She locked her door and blasts loud music while rereading the first Percy Jackson book. She didn't know when she fell asleep, but she sure knows when she starts dreaming. As usual, her dreams take her on a wild ride. She is on the cliffs, looking out at the sea. Two bodies lay below. With one last glance, the wolf moves away and runs through the streets roaring, daring someone to come out.

- "Finally!" River recites excitedly as he leans back on the couch, dropping the last of the merger files atop his new glass-top centre-table. His new apartment was serene, simple, and the living room in the large space gives him a certain kind of peace. A smile etches across his face, but it fades as he hears the loud blare of the doorbell, clamorously bellowing throughout the apartment. River's heart palpitates loudly as he is jolted back into reality. His eyebrows furrow as he rises from the large, beige, leather couch- staggering as he walks to the door. River turns the locks and twists the knob to swing the door open.

The bar was dimly lit, shadows curling around the corners while the low hum of conversations filled the air. River sat at the counter, his broad shoulders hunched forward as if the weight of the world was pressing on them. His fingers tapped restlessly on the wooden surface. “Beer,” he muttered, voice low and gruff. The barman nodded and slid a cold bottle his way. River twisted the cap off with one hand and took a long gulp. The bitter taste filled his mouth, but it did little to drown out the thoughts crashing inside his head.
