Romance
The Witches Redemption
The days blurred into one another as Vivian wandered beyond the edges of the forest, her strange companion never straying far from her side. At first, she had thought of it only as an odd creature that had chosen to follow her, but the longer it stayed, the more it felt like a guardian sent by some forgotten magic. Its paws were silent on the earth, its eyes sharp as if they saw what she could not, and when she grew weary, it pressed close as though lending her its strength.

The Sparta Chronicles. AI-Generated.
The air, thick with the cloying sweetness of honeysuckle and the damp, earthy perfume of upturned soil, hummed with an almost imperceptible vibrato. For Pandora, it was meant to be a balm, a familiar embrace of a sun-drenched afternoon. Her loyal corgi, Sparta, a creature of boundless curiosity and a surprisingly sophisticated flair for the dramatic, was her shadow. The golden shafts of sunlight, usually a gentle caress, now seemed to pierce the verdant canopy with an alarming intensity, illuminating motes of dust dancing in a preternatural stillness. Sparta, usually content to follow her scent-marked path, began to vibrate with a low, guttural whine, his stubby tail a question mark against the vibrant green. Then, it happened. A ripple, almost imperceptible, disturbed the thick fur of his neck, and the worn, impossibly antique watch, a secret heirloom passed down through generations of his lineage, pulsed with a malevolent, internal light.

CH 3~ Building a New Life
Frannie woke on a couch in a parlor with Gerdie holding her hand; she didn’t recognize this new room but knew it must be the parlor in her new home. Where else could she be? It was comfortable, though not as large or richly appointed as her home here.

She chose a hollow between twisted roots and gathered what wood she could find. Whispering a spell, she coaxed a small flame to life, the fire’s glow casting nervous shadows on the bark around her.

Ch 2~ Settling In
Frannie tried to listen as it was explained; she did, but everything after adoption was a bit of a blur. Smiling and nodding, holding herself together just long enough to get to her bedroom, as soon as Gerdie closed the doors behind her, Frannie finally broke down into bawling tears. It was all too much for her.

CH 1~ Waiting Out The Unpleasantness
Things had been so quiet, so serene for the entirety of “the unpleasantness,” as her sisters had been calling it, that Francine had trouble believing anything beyond the borders of their estate was amiss. Yet, she was sure something must be happening, or her father, Grantline Honorium Duke of the Nethervale, wouldn’t have sent them all out to their castle at the Nethervale months ago?

Somebody's Someone - Chapter Six
The yellow glow of the lanterns still illuminated the quiet street when the first patrol car arrived, followed closely by a second. The atmosphere, which had held an air of festivity just moments ago, now felt heavy with tension. Two officers stepped out—one in his mid-40s, with a square jaw and a rigid posture suggesting he hadn’t blinked since boot camp. The other was younger and leaner, holding his belt like a shield, as if authority was something to be gripped tightly. Their names were stitched across their chests: Hollins and Greaves.
