《The Raven Girl》The Raven Girl - chapter- 30
Advertisement
After I made that comment about having my wings removed, Dante was suddenly very attentive and nice in a way that was kind of creepy. He made a big fuss about holding my hand down to the breakfast table and giving me a kiss on the cheek. During breakfast he cringingly announced to the whole dining hall that he loved me on no less than four occasions. Thankfully the only person who was there to listen to his idiotic declarations was the grumbling Lord Manfred who didn’t seem interested in the slightest by Dante’s romantic musings. Lord Manfred was more concerned about the dragon King’s army that seemed to be growing. Apparently the Dragons were attacking more vampire villages and towns. All this talk of death and destruction didn’t seem to faze Dante who instead of sympathising with the loss of life continued to stare at me stupidly. By the end of breakfast Lord Manfred had given up and stormed out the room in exasperation.
“You should have listened to him.” I said to Dante.
“Why?” Dante said.
“Your people are dying. War is about to break out and you the one who is in charge.”
“People are always dying, the dragons are always up to something and when you are here in my presence I don’t want to talk about all this unpleasantness.”
“Why?”
“Because I am the Prince.”
“Pft, you’re not my Prince. I’m a British national and I have my own royal family, thank you very much. I’m not taking orders from some foreigner.” I replied patriotically.
“Well then you should obey me because I am your husband.”
“Did I mention I am a feminist and I do not believe in the patriarchal oppression which is marriage?”
“You agreed to marry me.”

“Because you were about to burn my dog alive!”
“Darling let’s not argue over small minor details.”
“You’re an idiot.” I snapped throwing down my napkin and leaving the table.
Dante groaned, “Come on Ebony don’t be moody.”
“Shut up Dante, I’ve had enough of your bull.” I snapped leaving the room.
Okay, I was already cross with Dante for the botched surgery he forced me to have in previous life with him and perhaps that contributed to my anti- Dante mood. Feeling a little smothered I wanted to just have some alone time which was hard because I wasn’t given much freedom around the castle and pretty much everyone seem to be spying on me. So I ambled about until so one fetched me when my dress was ready. Dante was seething quietly in the corner of our room when I entered and there was two small cases of clothes packed. My dress lay out on the side and was a cropped kind of Lolita dress that I wasn’t too keen on.
“Why can’t I have jeans.” I asked irritable examining the dress.
“Princesses don’t wear jeans.”
“They do where I come from.”
“Why are you arguing with everything I say today?”
“Because you are talking out your backside today.” I muttered quietly to myself.
“I resent that.” Dante replied.
Changing behind a screen I stepped out in my ridiculous outfit. Dante smiled and got up from the chair and circled me like a shark. Uncomfortably I folded my arms across my chest and impatiently snapped,
“The more time we stay here the more light we lose in the mortal world.”
Dante rested his hands on my shoulders and said, “Maybe we should go tomorrow.”
I blinked, “Excuse me?”

“I really like this dress but I really want to see what is underneath it.” Dante said.
He wrapped his arms around my waist pulling me against him.
“Do you like me wearing these mortal clothes? If you do I would wear them all the time.” He said lowering his voice an octave.
I swallowed hard and trying not to get carried away by his allure, Dante had some serious magnetism about him. Shaking my head I tried to pull away but Dante pulled me back. This was not good. We needed to get going to Scotland to visit the Loch Ness monster, this sort of behaviour was not helping our cause. Panicking I had to think fast.
“Dante,” I said struggling, “We need to go.”
“We can go any day.” His hand swept up to my neck and brushed aside my hair, he leaned down to kiss the pulse on my neck. I froze.
“Dante,” I said breathlessly, “I have a terrible headache.”
“That’s exactly why we should go to Scotland tomorrow.”
“Dante please, we need to go today.”
Dante ignored me and carried on kissing my neck.
“Dante stop.” I repeated feebly.
A voice in my head echoed, ‘try harder’.
“Dante-” I closed my eyes and reached up and grabbed a fistful of his hair. Resisting Dante was turning into mission impossible.
‘Ebony if you do not go tonight then all will be lost.’ The voice warned in my head.
‘I don’t care anymore.’ I told the voice.

Circumventing Fate
When Lei Xing booked a luxurious cruise as a graduation present to herself, she expected to have plenty of well-deserved rest and relaxation with an ocean view before jumpstarting her career. What she did not expect was to be the unlucky person who would fall overboard to a miserable watery death… or so she thought. To her astonishment, she opened her eyes to find herself in an ancient setting, a different body, and a new life as the eldest daughter of a high court official. {...Okay, at least I'm rich...I can still live happily and freely, it's still a golden opportunity at a second life. I can live it well~...maybe go travelling, start a business, or something…It definitely could be worse...} To Lei Xing’s horror, her new host was scheduled to enter the palace to compete in the concubine selection for the new Emperor. {...What?! I am definitely not interested! Of all places, it’s that viper pit! I’m not built for any Royal BS or harem fights. Please keep your scheming lives to yourselves and leave me the hell out of it, NOT INTERESTED!!!... Can I not go, please? T_T)...No? Nevermind then, failure is always an option... Failure is the only possible outcome. Bring it on! Hahahaha…} While Lei Xing was making plans on how to skip out of town, fate was also very busy working out its own plans for her, mapping out its own course for her life behind the scenes... Poking holes in her plans to her confusion and outrage. "...Little chicken, as long as I'm alive you won't die." "Nonsense, if anyone is going to cause my death, it would be you!!" *** "Do you really feel nothing after all this time?" He asked as he looked at her with searching eyes, trying to see into her soul... "...Who...would..." she mumbled under her breath... *** "That stupid old man, I'm going to end him when I find him...You better hide well!!" |||~~~~~~~~~~~||| Author's Note~~ Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the read as you go along!

Imagine waking up in a hospital room, you can barely move. No one comes when you call. The only other person present is a little boy, who is, surprisingly, more help than you would expect. What would you do? This is the exact situation Sally finds herself in. Almost immediately she discovers that nothing is what she thinks it is. Not the boy, not the hospital, maybe not even herself. She is in deep trouble and the consequences will be dire if she can’t find a way out. She is a fighter, though, and just doesn't quit. As a baseline human, she starts as the lowest of the low and has to claw her way up in spite of being tangled in a shifting web of schemes and plots. She has to do her best, and maybe her best is pretty good. As Sally uncovers more about her situation, she finds that she has to be smart and tough and that in this place she needs to depend on her friends, who are using her as much as she is using them. This book contains themes concerning life, death, and body functions, light swearing, minimal nakedness, and should be suitable for most. Some pertinent info: Ten Thousand Sallys is a complete novel of approximately 140 pages in 20 chapters. Around 80,000 words. not too long, and maybe too short.
