CHAPTER NINE Dinner had been a glorious affair, more of a festival then anything. There had been a wide array of foods that Kat had never heard of, and she loved nearly all of it. Afterwards, her and Jack headed back to the tent, stomachs full and spirits high. The food had made them sleepy, and they immediately flopped down on their cots upon entering the tent, promptly falling asleep. Kat awoke unusually early the next morning and, finding Jack still sleeping soundly, she decided to take a walk around the village. Few people were awake yet, so Kat admired the sunrise by herself. The horizon looked like it was on fire, red flames shooting

CHAPTER EIGHT Kat awoke early, stretching, then looking over her shoulder to ask Jack when they should leave. To her shock, he wasn't there. She looked around her, but Jack was nowhere to be seen. She was beginning to get nervous, when she suddenly heard the sound of voices through the trees. Curious, she walked towards the sound, the trees rapidly becoming more and more scarce, until she walked into a large field. The sight before her took her breath away. The field was filled with wooden caravans and colorful woven tents. People walked between them, talking and laughing, wearing assorted robes, long skirts, and long sleeves, adorned in va

CHAPTER SEVEN Kat and Jack walked through the dark forest, the silence interrupted every now and again by sniffles from Kat. Logan may have pissed her off, but she couldn't believe he had risked his life for her like that. And now he was captured, probably being tortured by some barbaric, blood-thirsty mad man; all because of her. I shouldn't have gotten him involved. I shouldn't have gotten anyone involved. He might die, and it's my fault. She began to tear up again, and quickly wiped her eyes. Jack suddenly stopped beside her. "It's late. We should stop and rest for the night, we're gonna be doing a lot of walking tomorrow." Kat nodde

Chapter 53 – Vultures and Humans and Exploding Moonlight      His bleeding heart was aching as he licked his serrated teeth with his tongue, thirsty for some good and new vengeance. The blistering red eyes protruded from his shadowy being, giving him the appearance of a brutal monster than an ordinary freak. He stood up high above a sea of black, grinning into the redness of the opaque atmosphere above and giggling as well to show off something quite horrid. Laughing out loud now, something drippy and wet left his hands, building up even more like rivulets that begged to become waterfalls. The words 'A freak like you can't save anythin

Chapter 50 – Kind Lights and Annoying Saviors          Sophia coughed fragilely into her hands with a powerful urge telling her to lie down, but she just kept on with her trek through the dark, root-infested forest. She tripped over fallen branches and her heart hammered during her run away; the world was freezing cold and the only source of lighting were but the moon gems stuck within the curly, thick trees – dull, lifeless, barely helping the poor sick one out during such a dilemma. She felt something in her head pounding with her hand remained clutched around her dead flashlight, her memories of that nightmare haunting her in t

Chapter 49 – Unfinished Waltz, a Nightmare, and the One Who Tried     Zero was standing outside in the soft shower of snow, looking over the acres of frozen ice now dulling into a grand mass of fog; it was all thanks to the raging storm just outside the barrier of their sanctuary. His face was downcast as he stood up high on the hilltop, sad thoughts plaguing him while he looked on over the darkness of the night and the fog of the tremendous lake. The thoughts were merciless and cruel, but so full of longing and a want for the danger to be over with finally; a want to go back home and live in the peace that he has been lacking for a wh
