Things were still kind of tense between Eryn and Charles, making it a bit awkward for Peregrine and I. Whatever Vanora told Eryn seemed to have been enough to keep him from fighting Charles. The tension in the air was thick though, and Charles shoulders were kept tense. "It's been a while, how about we continue our training out here?" Charles asked me. "Yes!" Some sparring actually sounded good. "Oh wait, I can't fight with this dress on." I sighed. "The dress comes undone on the sides to allow your legs to kick and the sleeves detach." Peregrine stated flatly. "Seriously?" I was surprised and impressed by the design. "Well yes, our women are more than capable of fighting, so their dresses are made with that in mind." Peregrine explained. "Allow me." He said as he bent down in front of me snaking his arm into my dress. Charles let out a possessive warning growl. Peregrine did not remove his hands from under my dress, but instead looked up at Charles like he was over reacting. "O

Charles and I headed up to the room we were staying in. Peregrine and Eryn followed closely behind now. When we reached the room Peregrine stationed himself beside the door in the hall. He gave Eryn a look as to say 'we stay out here, while they go in'. Eryn didn't seem to catch that as he ventured into the room with us. "Why are you in here?" Charles demanded, annoyance lacing his tone. "She's my charge now and I take it very seriously. I will not take my eyes off her for a second. You better get used to my presence Charles." He smirked, knowing that he was frustrating Charles seemed to make him happy. "You could keep guard outside the room like Peregrine. He's kept me safe just fine that way." I told him, hoping to ease some tension between these macho men. "I wouldn't be able to protect you better if someone came in through the window." Eryn said as an excuse. I just rolled my eyes and waved my hand in defeat. I didn't have it in me to argue right now. I headed for the bathroom

I was deep in the woods again, running for my life. Only this time there was no snow, no mountain. There was soft green grass under my feet. I was running toward a field of dark royal blue flowers. Their sweet scent wafted in the air, but the smell was not soothing. It did little to help the fear that was eating away at me. The thought that if I stopped running I would die, continued to play in my head. Something dark and evil was chasing me, but I couldn't see or smell it. I could only sense it and hear it as it snapped twigs behind me. It was gaining on me and it felt like no matter how hard I pushed I couldn't speed up. I made it to the clearing of flowers, stopping in the center, looking around. I knew it was probably a stupid idea, but for some reason I thought I'd be safe amongst the flowers. I saw it from the corner of my eye as it lunged for my throat. It's red eyes were the last things I saw as my head landed amongst the flowers away from my body. I sat up quickly, waking u

We met up with Eryn right by the vines. He led us toward a large tree opening the portal and making me sick to my stomach. I don't think I'll ever get used to the smell. It's horrendously sweet and nauseating. The tunnel stretched out for a while, which made sense considering how far away we were. It was still much faster than any other method of travel. I was thankful that Eryn could portal us. I needed to learn how to do it myself. We arrived after what felt like an eternity in that tunnel. We made it with some time to spare. We walked up to the hall only this time we didn't go to the room I had been to before. Instead we made a right turn down a hall to a smaller room. It was still grand as most rooms were in this building, but it was much smaller than the sentencing room. There was a large round table in the center and red thick curtains hung along the back walls. The rest of the room was white all over. "Glad to see you made it in time." Larminiel greeted us as he motioned for

When I came to I was back on campus in the commons. I was heading toward the dorms, music blasting in my ears as I scrolled through my phone. Nate's name popped up on the screen. "Rooms busy for the next couple hours. Make yourself scarce please." My hand was on the door of the main entrance when I read the text. I looked up from my phone seeing my reflection. I wasn't me, I was a young man in a blue baseball cap and jean jacket. I recognized his face, I was projecting into George. George turned around, decided to head to the library. He seemed defeated knowing he couldn't arguing with Nate. He scrolled through his phone again, searching for a different song, when a chill went up his spine. I wanted to start running, knowing what was probably about to happen, but I couldn't make him go. I couldn't force him to do anything; I could only watch and be in it. I need to warn him, how can I warn him? I felt a sting in my chest at that moment. I looked down and there was nothing. George

The hall was a mess. Men and women were running around. Everyone seemed to be scrambling trying to figure out what was happening. Everyone seemed to be in a panic trying to figure out how many ancient ones there were. The main other burning question was where we would send everyone where they would be protected and safe from any ancient ones. It seemed like everything was going to h*ll in one night. The ancient one on campus is what really set everything and everyone into a panic. That was a lot of people to try and evacuate. It forced the council to act faster than usual. If another ancient one showed up at another highly populated area we'd be in a lot of trouble. Just then I heard a loud crash outside. I could feel the earth shake under my feet. We all looked at each other frightened, thinking something was attacking the council. We all ran towards the window to see what was happening as guards poured outside to fight. They were quickly stopped as we saw the large red dragon layin

I opened the door to a very disgruntled Nate. His eyes were narrowed and his lips pressed into a thin line. He hadn’t cleaned himself off or changed clothes yet. “Hey, what’s up?” I asked, slightly confused as to why he would come see me now. “I heard about the way you had those visions. Rain, you can’t keep projecting. You could die with the person you are projecting into. So far you’ve gotten lucky and left their bodies just before their last breath.” Nate said furiously. He seemed upset at me, but I had no control over this. “In fact, I heard you died, for a moment, earlier tonight.” A small puff of smoke left his nostrils. “I have no control over this Nate. To tell you the truth, I didn’t even know what I was doing until I had died at that moment. Peregrine explained it to me a little when I came to. Trust me I don’t want to keep doing it. It scares me too.” At my words Nate's anger seemed to subside but only slightly. "That doesn't make me feel all that better, Rain." "You're

Eryn stood over me and extended his hand for me to take. I grabbed it, needing help, but I was so confused. "How are you here?" I asked him."Really Rain?" He asked as if I offended him by the question. "It's not hard to follow the path you left to get here. All I had to do was focus on you." He answered. "I didn't know I had left a path for you to follow." I admitted. "Wait, I thought you said you weren't going to watch. Why did you help me?" "I couldn't let you lose your magic." He said softly, some of that hard exterior of his shedding off. "You're still my charge and somehow I would get blamed for it." Well so much for that hard shell shedding. "Well thank you. Even if you were doing it for yourself." "I guess now you owe me two times." He smiled his devilish smile as a strand of hair fell over his face. I instinctively reached for it wanting to place it back in its spot, but I stopped myself. Eryn noticed the action though and he grabbed the wrist of my extended hand. He pul
