Chapter 8: Rebirth from Rebirth

          My eyes opened to find that I was in . . . my room? I was resting on my bed facing the opened the glass windows that captured the lovely night sky. There were stars glistening over the mountains and forests. Had I been dreaming again? Didn’t I face Thayne though? Why was my head burning yet my body was shivering? I tried to move my arm to feel my forehead, but one shift brought on splintering pain.

          “Ah!” I winced to the point where my eyes dampened.

          A young, petite girl had leapt to my side, wiping the dripping sweat off of my face. She was screaming in a foreign language reminding me of a blend of French and Latin.

          I had almost croaked Adelaide’s name, but once I saw a darkened birthmark to the side of her cheek and her blueberry eyes, I could only ask, “Wh-who are you?”

Summer Status

I have to say that summer is unpredictable. I've figured that my editing speed is like a roller coaster. Yes, I'm using a typical analogy, but oh well, there's the brain dead me. Anyhow, you've probably noticed that I've been updating rather quickly and that's because I honestly don't know exact dates now. My vacation is coming in May, so I'm going to try my best to speed things along. Expect an update for each story every couple of days.

Also, if you've been following the revised chapters for Rebirth, I'm pretty sure you've noticed huge changes and additions. I'm hoping that they're for the better! Please tell me what you think about these revisions. Your opinion would be very helpful!

(The same goes for TFDL.)

As for the drawings .  . . they are on hold until my scanner is fixed. I'm not even sure if I can fix this printer/scanner.

Cheers!

TFDL: Prelude - Chapter 7

Chapter Seven: The Leader Encounters the Queen of Spontaneity

Rhett had arrived at the coffee shop fifteen minutes earlier than scheduled. His purpose was to observe the way his date entered the café and perhaps, the manner in which she carried herself. Already, he was surprised that she was fifteen minutes late, and now, he was 88.9 percent positive that he would not get along with her. 

Taking a sip of his cappuccino, he stared at the front door only to notice a petite girl running from afar. The girl was sprinting madly, but once she was a few paces from the door, she braked at her heels, almost slipping in the process. After regaining her breath, she took a long look at the door’s handle. Rhett was confused at first as to what she was doing, but then, noticed that she was staring at the tiny tag beside the door. Then, he understood. 

Was this a door needing a push or a pull?

Chapter 7: Decisions from Rebirth

          Passion. Lust. Jealousy. Greed. Hunger.

          They were all interlaced in his embrace, his kisses, and his touches. I was there to satiate his needs, to enclose that missing puzzle piece. I thought I could tolerate everything, but when he had tied my hands and legs apart like a sacrifice and reached for a sword hanging from the wall, I gulped.

          Tracing the blade against my neck, he snickered. “You know, you remind me too much of her.” I gulped again, to which he cackled. “Don’t worry . . . I might bite, but I won’t kill.”

          “Wh-what would you like?” I croaked.

          He swiped the knife against my arm, causing me to wince. “Did I say you could talk?” I shook my head. “Good, you can only talk when I say so. Now, where was I?” He was grazing the cold blade on the surface of my skin again, but this time, I could feel a heavier pressure coming from the sword. “Ah, I remember.” He cut my leg this time. Now smiling ever so boldly, he uttered, “Do you know why I requested you?” I bobbed my head left and right. “Because you look and act like her.” Then, he started to lick my wounds before biting on them. “Uh huh, you’re not allowed to make any noises unless I say so,” he reminded me. “Renelle.”

TFDL: Prelude - Chapter 6

Chapter Six: The Hidden Devil vs. the Femme Fatale; the Innocent Boy vs. the Forbidden Fruit

Junsu cradled his cell phone in his hand with a question pestering his mind. Should he call her or should he wait for her to call him? 

It was the afternoon when the restaurant would close and then prepare for dinner service. This break usually allowed Junsu to visit an Internet café, yet he wasn’t in the mood for games today. His hands were so fidgety that he could barely hold onto the trays. He could hardly walk properly, crashing into tables here and there.

He couldn’t help sighing every now and then. After his girlfriend had confessed to him, he had never called her once nor had she ever called him. Now, this situation made him shudder. What if she was simply joking about their relationship? What if she was too embarrassed to call him?  

  

He gripped his phone even tighter and sputtered, “Argh!”

“Son,” his father informed, “I’m not expecting to pay for a new phone.”

Chapter 6: Déjà-vu from Rebirth

          Brett and I entered a dark chamber that was more heavily decorated than mine. This was a room for a Prince. “This was my room,” Brett announced. “We should be safe for now.”

          With the moonlight nicely lighting the atmosphere, I was too absorbed by the glamour in this room. “Brett . . . wh-who are you?” I suddenly shot a puzzled glare at him. An owner of a small coffee shop shouldn’t have lived here. A quiet apartment suited him more, yet when I saw his face, which was highlighted by the rays of the moon, I knew that this was home to him.
