So she would not die. Lillia echoed in her mind. Not today. Then, something stronger coiled suddenly around her neck, tightening painfully as her voice escaped in a strained sound. “Ame… Lia—please—” Before Lillia could react, a violent force wrenched her away, dragging her into the darkness. Her fingers tore free of Amelia’s grasp, clutching only a ripped fragment of fabric as she was pulled farther and farther away. Lillia watched as Amelia receded into the distance, swallowed by the void, while the coldness and hostility around her deepened, pressing in from all sides. Her body was tossed and dragged as multiple unseen forces fought to claim her. The air grew thick with a foul stench, suffocating her senses as she was pulled deeper into the void, deeper toward a point of no return. But as her strength began to wane, Lillia closed her eyes, her breathing slowing to quiet as she reached inward toward Fenris. Fenris… I know you’re weak. But I know you’re still here. If you would give your last strength to save me, then I will give mine to save her. And if we perish… then we perish together. I cannot exist in a world without you, because you are part of me as I am part of you. Without you, something in me is lost forever. I am nothing without you. For a breathless moment there was nothing but coldness. Then—warmth flickered, then surged deep within, enveloping her as Fenris stirred. A faint whimper echoed in her mind, followed by a quiet voice. “Then… let us kick death in the teeth one last time.” —To be continued. >>>click to read<<<🪄✨

"Sherman...Sherman Colton," I managed to mutter, my voice quivering from a combination of exhaustion and worry. The name surfaced from the depths of my consciousness, unexpected yet purposeful. As I felt my awareness fade, a lingering feeling of unease settled within me.

Quand son amie d’autrefois meurt soudain, Camille rentre chez elle. Elle fait des photos, cherche un peu de calme. Un lieu suspendu entre la brume, et les souvenirs. Près d’un lac perdu, elle développe des clichés qui semblent lui parler. Les tirages montrent des formes vagues, des mouvements étranges. comme si la lumière cherchait à lui montrer ce que sa mémoire avait oublié. Dans cet air léger, Camille part à la fois en quête de chagrin et en quête de clarté. Chaque photo devient une porte entrouverte sur le passé, chaque reflet un fragment de vérité. Ses pas la ramènent vers des visages d’autrefois, Vers Léo - son amour de jeunesse, parti sans dire au revoir - puis vers Élise, dont l’ombre rôde près du lac comme dans son cœur. Entre la brume et le calme, les jours translucides touchent à la mémoire fragile et à la douceur de lâcher prise. Ce voyage a des airs de poème, un récit entre ombre et reflet, où l’on apprend que la clarté ne naît pas de l’absence du trouble — mais de son acceptation. Une histoire qui parle de souvenirs, tout en mêlant tendresse et paix intérieure. Une histoire de ces moments pas très clairs, mais qui malgré tout nous guident encore.

“Are you trying to punish me? I…I don't know how many times I can apologize even if it wasn't my fault that I almost—” “I never asked you to. You do whatever you want, Niya, and I really don't care. Neither should you bother with what I do.” “You're hurt. You're hurt, Alex, and you're acting out. Don't worry we could talk this through. This isn't you.” I try to reach him again but he shoots me a deadly glare that pierces through my skin like a dagger. “Sure it is. You've just never seen me like this. You don't know what I look like when I'm not in love with you,” his brows grow together. “Now we’ve had enough of your drama. You'll find the papers and enjoy the party or use the fucking door.” He pulls away and my eyes cloud again. My ears and heart find it hard to process what is actually going on. The looks on their faces tell me it is awfully too late—I have already lost everything. “Niya, careful now,” my grandmother slowly tugs at my arm as if that will somehow make everything better. “We have guests. Don’t cause a scene.” A scene? I have literally just seen a whole movie, ma. ************* My name is Niya Kendrick. I’m 25, an author who once believed she had the perfect life. But how quickly can everything I love be stripped away in the blink of an eye? Or worse, what if the life, the family I’ve cherished has always been a blatant lie, a mere fragment of the truth? Now, I’m awake, and reality is far harsher than any dream.
