Since I saw the cliff, the dark chasm of my mind had erupted, and things that I have never seen before were making a reappearance, running through my mind’s eye like galloping horses, too fast to decipher, too brief to have any context. I hear a keening cry rip off my throat, and suddenly, I am plunging into a scene. I sit in front of a fireplace, staring at the mantle. On the top of it is a picture, a painting made quite crudely. I am no older than ten, but even I can say how the shadows and lights of the picture are off, considering how accurate they were on all the paintings that hung on the walls of the hallway that led to the main dining room. This picture looks like it was painted in h

They had turned their backs on me, with joined hands. My eyes fluttered open, I sat up quickly, and I saw a lady in a gold glistening gown, she had a tight smile on her face. She gestured to me to come close to her. She looked like she was in her late 30s, still very young with brown skin and jet black hair. Everywhere was cloudy as though we were in the sky, walking on clouds. I walked towards her, trying to see if I would fall. Oh… I forgot I’m already dead.

The darkness around her begins to shift, thick and syrupy, carrying her through centuries of forgotten moments. Images flash, fleeting glimpses of lives once lived, sacrifices made, power exchanged and guarded fiercely by those before her. Her heart pounds louder, thundering as if each beat is a footstep toward an ancient reckoning. Then, the void begins to part, peeling back like the delicate edges of an old, brittle manuscript. Through the murk, a vision sharpens, twisting into clarity. She stands, rooted, beneath an ancient canopy of trees—massive, gnarled beings whose branches stretch heavenward like skeletal fingers reaching for the stars.

I closed my eyes, a sour feeling welling in my chest; the baby I expected would never be born. A storm was in my heart; I drove like an idiot on the street for two hours. Lightning raged; bright flashes of lightning cut across the gray sky. I don't know why I drove to slave camp A either. I stopped there for a long time; I unbuckled my parachute and got off. The scene of desolation before my eyes made me unable to help but frown a few times. Even though it was raining heavily, countless enslaved people squatted on the ground pulling weeds. Their bodies were constantly shaking, and their thin clothes were tight against them.

My attention remained fixed on the closed door, my gaze unwavering, as if by sheer willpower I could compel it to swing open and reveal the figure I longed to see. Minute after minute dragged by, each one carrying with it a glimmer of hope that the door would be flung wide, that the Alpha would emerge to claim me as his own again. With each passing moment, my anticipation grew, my imagination running wild with vivid images of the Alpha's strong arms wrapping around me, shielding me from the elements.

CHAPTER THREE -WILHELMINA- I sat listlessly at my vanity, staring at the vase of red roses my soon-to-be husband had sent. The flowers stood tall and proud, their petals unfurling like a lover's promise, but they offered her no solace. The reality of my situation seeped further into my mind as the fresh scent of the roses tainted the air, reminding me of the prestigious life I would soon be entangled in. My heart throbbed within the cage of my ribs, akin to a bird desperately trying to escape its confines.

She allowed her mind to wander to the very place she had tried to lock herself out for her own sanity. Chaotic Dark It was a mess of swirling scenes, memories and imaginations. She didn't realize that she was squeezing the left part of her chest. She was engrossed in the jumbled imagery, she didn't notice the pain she that was gripping her heart. She crawled towards the couch, muttering lowly to herself. With enough courage that she could use to vanquish the empty feeling in her, Isabelle lifted the central cushion.

She clutched a tissue, as if it were an anchor in a sea of the extraordinary. Within an instant, a blaze of gold and flames painted my vision, a radiant spectacle that etched itself onto my mind's canvas. The enigmatic woman, whose very presence defied the bounds of reality, dissolved into the ethereal currents of the beyond. A farewell, shrouded in the brilliance of her existence, marked the end of her earthly sojourn.

Maya would be no use to me if they managed to slip inside my mind. The oasis in my head was fuzzy at first, the details an annoying haze. As I continued taking steady breaths, the image became clearer. Crystal blue waters, swaying wheat grass, and the scent of nature in the air. I imagined myself delving deep within my own head, a library forming around me. Rows upon rows of empty books lined oak shelves, each cover a different style and color. I walked the dark halls of my mind, plucking a deep amber book from it's place on the shelf. The cover was dark, but intertwined with threads of gold.

The house had a beautiful chorus running through the very walls, the hands of fate conducting a melody more booming than any march and silkier than any lullaby. Seeing him hanging on the edge of the couch, she bit her lip anxiously. Words upon words wanted to claw her to shreds, but she sucked in a deep breath. Today felt so tedious- the seconds were piling upon one another like snowflakes upon the tallest mountain.
