I pulled and tugged until I had enough to work with, constantly fighting against the resistance it was showing, eager to get back into the weave. With the vine gripped in both hands, I floated towards Jenny’s body. She also had a bunch of vines growing out of her, but only one that attached to me, thin and barely visible as it was. I touched the vine in my hand to the thread between me and Jenny. There was a chance that Jenny’s thread would slice Claire’s in half. It was razor sharp and had cut me before when I’d tried to interfere with it. But that didn’t happen. The two vines, fat and thin, Laurel and Hardy, stuck together.

After hearing Theodore’s explanation, Joseph remained silent for a while and said, “Okay fine.” The sky was covered with clouds by the time they reached the plum tree. There was a big plum tree in a big field surrounded by different types of flowers. Only that field, which had the plum tree, was full of greenery. Except for that field, all other trees were naked. But the plum tree was full of leaves and flowers. The flowers were maroon-colored. Admiring the tree, Joseph thought that the plum tree was the true highlight of his little trip to the demon realm. “Doesn't it look pretty? My father told me that these maroon flowers represent ambition, passion, and strength,” Theodore said. Joseph j

All of it inputted in forms like vines. Tree Vines. A garden. The garden collection. Each garden piece seductive without being desperate. Seductive elegance. Nice. Very nice. Very impressive, Serena. I was impressed.

Places both palms on the ground. The gold vines explode. Not from the Tree. From us. From the five of us. They shoot straight up. Hundreds. Thousands. A net. A tree made of light and bone and blood. Pride coos. The vines braid. Tight. A dome. Over Duskbane. Over the keep. Over the pack. Over the Hollow. The missile hits it. No boom. No fire. It stops. Mid-air. Like it hit water.

"Momma, momma please, momma please wake up." Rhe little girl begs her mother.

The first star appears overhead and then another. Not all at once but in a ripple, like a curtain of water disturbed by a breeze, the vines begin to snake down from the stone—growing, threading together until the outline forms. A wall of ivy. Thick.

A place most passed in quiet, eyes averted, breath held. Here, Elara had once stood beneath a blackened sky, her body bleeding, her hands wrapped around the fading warmth of her sister.

It began with a single vine. Soft. Silver-veined. Delicate and defiant. It curled out from a crack in the scorched stone like hope unburied.

He picked up at the second the ring. “Elle, where are you?” “I need you to answer me, just this question.” “Elle, we can talk this out.” “Is the pregnancy yours?” “You will understand everything more when we meet.” “Answer me.” “Everything is complicated right now, let's meet, I will be coming down to Virginia.” Brielle gazed into the space, lacking words to say. “I won't be meeting you, and I will be taking your reply as a yes.” She cut the call instantly, not giving him the opportunity to speak again.
