Tainted Heart Novels & Stories

I ran a hand through my dark hair, trying to push back all the racing thoughts. “You don’t know me, Artemis.” I let out a big breath and sat down in the closest chair, resting my hands on my knees, and looking down. “I want to know everything about you, stop pushing me away.” When I finally looked up, I couldn't understand Artemis's expression. But her eyes looked soft and vulnerable, which made my heart hurt. She seated herself before me, clasping her hands firmly in her lap.

"If you want the Mooncrest power, take it from the source! My heart is the only thing that can satisfy that hunger! Take my life and let the others go!" The Dark-Rhea paused. She glided back toward Rhea, her mirror-eyes scanning Rhea’s body with a clinical, detached interest. She leaned down, her face inches from Rhea’s, and for a second, Rhea felt the sheer, crushing weight of the void.

The Archive does not want a heart that has already begun to decay."
