Even the draft through the corridor, that made her shiver, seemed to push her forward. She was free again. Feeling uneasy, there was more to run from this time. Again she should find Rose. A normal life was slipping away. Only she found herself following the path to the cave. As she entered the mouth of the cave a Barrier went up behind her. It was solid. Made of the same Guardian magic she had seen Asher use before to entertain the children. This, however, was not amusing Sacha.

Xander groaned internally for he was so close to taste her lips, he was dying to kiss those soft lips of hers. On noticing Scar wasn't ready yet, Kat asked, "Scar, hurry up babe. We gotta leave soon." Scarlett quickly nodded and went upstairs saying, "I'll get changed." Xander was confused by all this. Leave? Where were they leaving to? It's Christmas today and although he doesn't celebrate it usually but he wanted to today with his Triantáfyllo. He wanted to send the rest of the day with her So he asked her friend, "Where are you both going?"

Christmas break was just around the corner. A high school group chat that had been dead for years suddenly became lively again. Messages flooded in by the hundreds within minutes. Some people talked about how excited they were to reunite, while others sighed nostalgically about how beautiful those years had been. The class president sent me a private message again, insisting that I attend no matter what. I had ignored every invitation before, but this time, I agreed. Because I wanted to see what they looked like once they failed and had nothing left.

"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Jaxon said low and careful from his place at the door to the living room, his hand resting on the frame. His eyes were on me, like he was trying to gauge whether I meant it when I said everything was fine. I stood at the window, staring out as snow fell in languid flakes, casting a pale luminance over everything in sight. Christmas was looming, yet somehow, it didn't feel quite as festively joyful as it had other years.

I curled up with Chris in his bed as we watched a movie. He’s been worried about me over the past week, which I feel bad about. I hate worrying everyone. Chris surprised me with a home-cooked dinner and a movie; A Journey Back to Christmas, my favorite Christmas movie ever. I sighed as we watched, “What’s wrong?” Chris asked; I shook my head, but Chris was not about to take that for an answer. He paused the movie and straightened up, waiting for me to talk to him.

"He just likes to tease." "Well, you both be careful driving home." Jocelyn opened the door for them and cold air rushed in, chilling Jocelyn to the bone. She almost went back for her coat, but knew she would only be out for a moment. Jocelyn never tired of the landscape. A blanket of crisp, white snow glistened in the sunlight. In the center of town was the square, where the gazebo set, decorated with colorful Christmas lights, along with the rest of the town. It was only three weeks until Christmas, the busiest time of year for Christmas Cove. At night, it would become a Christmas wonderland, complete with Santa Claus in the gazebo, listening to the wishes of children.

Whispers followed me everywhere. "I can't believe she's that kind of person." "The more innocent they look, the wilder they are." "That coat she's wearing? It's Chanel's latest. The rumors on the campus forum must be true." I retrieved my phone to check the campus forum. My entire body was shaking from anger. Sharon actually spread dirty rumors about me on the campus forum. [A Golden Apple on Christmas Day Exposed Our Fake Friendship!] She accused me of flaunting wealth with a golden apple on Christmas Day and scamming them out of an expensive meal.

I've been ignoring him, but his persistence is becoming problematic. I deleted the message without reading it. The Christmas gala is in two days. The annual event where the city's elite gather to see and be seen, to make deals and alliances over champagne and caviar. I'll need to bring Ava, show her off as my devoted wife, maintain the illusion that everything is fine. She'll smile and play her part because she has no choice. Because I've made sure she has nowhere else to go and no one else to turn to. And I'll stand beside her, touching her waist, playing the role of perfect husband, hating myself a little more with every passing moment.

The fire in the hearth flickered, shadows dancing across the walls, as if the universe itself paused to mark the moment. Cheyenne exhaled, letting a small, tired smile slip across her lips. She glanced at the guardians, each one reflecting strength, courage, and readiness. “Then we wait. And we watch.” “And we prepare,” Tora added with a smirk, nudging Chelsea lightly. “Because you know the universe doesn’t like letting us have quiet days.” A soft laugh rippled through the group, tension easing slightly. Yet beneath the humor, every guardian felt it—the weight of what was coming, the significance of this new life, and the unseen threads weaving their fates together.

They reached Tara’s car, and as soon as they got in, Tara squeezed Melody’s hand.

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love sent to me… “Cheating on a platter of gold.” How thoughtful.
