"And the last time I made you frame that witch, I clearly told you to fall harder! But in the end, all you had was a minor fracture! "If I hadn't been clever and paid off the doctor to lie about how hurt you were so that he could draw 2000cc worth of blood from that witch, you wouldn't even exist in Casper's eyes now! I'm warning you, if you don't listen to me this time, I won't show any mercy next time!" After saying that, Sydney kicked Lily hard.

"And then she'll understand it's about everything." --- That evening David and I sat in the study. The fire going. The December dark outside. The book on the desk between us.

And then, the alley wall pressed against his back and the ice cold stone offered no comfort, the silver blade found its mark clean through his heart. With no show and no hesitation, his body shuddered, It convulsed and began to disintegrate. Ash fell to the concrete and I watched until nothing remained. The aftermath was my routine.

Leaves rustled, though there was no wind. A single golden leaf drifted downward. It landed in my open journal. The moment it touched the page... ink began flowing across the paper by itself. Not words. Pictures. A village rebuilding after a storm. A lonely traveler welcomed into a stranger's home. A teacher lighting a lantern in a classroom full of children.

Mom opened the sketchbook, glanced at it, and started ripping. Hard. The sharp tear of paper filled the room. "No! Mom, don't!" I lunged for her, but my hands cut through empty air. I dropped to the floor, shaking, staring at the scraps everywhere. I couldn't even cry anymore. When the sketchbook was shredded, Mom stood there, catching her breath.

Why is she the only one who gets to make a choice? I worked hard on this, too. Didn’t I?” I heard Layla ask, and I turned away from them as I started to walk back home. It was already too late. If I couldn’t get this leaf, I had to get back home to the pack house so I could see if we could do anything else to help alpha Leonardo.

"Hop in, Mr. Crowe! If we leave now, you'll still make it to the airport in time." Very soon, I left the base behind in their car. As I looked at the place where I had spent the last five years, I realized there was not even the slightest trace of attachment left in my heart anymore. The wind outside the window still blew relentlessly across the desert. But somehow, against my face, it no longer felt so cold.

But honestly, I didn't care about the watch he promised me anymore. That night, I drew another sunflower on the back of the application. Eight days left. - On the third morning, the liaison from the home office delivered my ticket. My departure was right on schedule. I had officially resigned.
