《The Third Word》Chapter 70

"Wh-What?" I laughed as I couldn't believe what he said. I sat down beside him and turned slightly towards him, keeping my hands on my knees," You're saying I came here?"
"You wouldn't know since you were possessed."
That explained why my legs were paining. I had probably walked all the way to his house and back and I was surprisingly still alive.
"So...Ethan got inside my body and came here and spoke to you." I was surely burning up. The words came out of my mouth like fire.
"Are you okay?" He asked, noticing my temper rise.
"I'm not!" I yelled and stood up, looking around," All he spoke to me was 'Help me' and he fucking came to you?"
"You don't seem to like the fact that he came to me." He said in his calm voice.
"He chose me but he doesn't even speak to me!"
"Where's the problem here? You didn't want to help him in the beginning anyway." He said and the way those words hit me, I immediately cooled down. It was true that I didn't want to help him earlier and I suddenly wanted to.
What made me change my mind?
"What did Ethan tell you?" I asked, remembering that my anger wasn't important but the information he gave us was.
"He doesn't remember anything from that night."
"Why did I expect that?" I uttered and sat down again.
"It's of no use anyway," He said," There's one important thing he told me, which explains exactly why he doesn't know who his killer is."
"And I'm guessing you won't tell me."
"Eventually, I will." He sighed.
"I know I shouldn't be asking this...but how far have you reached with the investigation?" I asked and he gave me the if-you-know-you-shouldn't-ask-then-shut-up look.

"I think two people are enough to worry about it." He said," You job is to talk to-"
"You mean, rent my body so he can talk to you." I interrupted.
"This really isn't something you should be mad about." He said, shaking his head.
"Then how should I feel about this? He doesn't think I'm capable or trustworthy enough to understand? Or maybe he doubts my literacy." I mumbled.
"You should feel special."
"He possessed me without my permission and didn't even bother to tell me where he took my body and what he did with it!" I scowled.
"He asked you to help him and only then possessed you, Gwen Smith." He highlighted to shut me up," If it hadn't been for you, we wouldn't have found out that he doesn't know the killer."
"Well...makes sense but I don't like the idea of giving him my body without knowing what I did during that time." I argued.
"Ask him then." He said," I'm shocked how you haven't had a conversation with him yet. What are you waiting for?"
"I was caught up in shit and Edwin keeps...never mind." I stopped as I re-thought upon my decision of telling him about Edwin, since he was only interested in Ethan.
"Edwin what?" He prompted me to finish my sentence.
"It's nothing related to the case."
"Speak." He ordered.

Grey [HIATUS]
I was originally fueled by anger and disdain to write this and looking back, most of what I wrote for this story was unplanned and a bit trashy. I kinda stopped having ideas for this, so I stopped in the end. If you're looking at this right now, you probably shouldn't read this because it's only 12 crappy chapters in and yeah... Sorry to the people who might've liked this. (Maybe one day I'll continue this, but for now, I have other plans) Grey, a prince, is unsure about what to do when he starts running away from an enemy beast tamer. He's unsure on what to do now that his father, the king, is dead. In the forest alone, he'll discover a small companion and a rogue. Together will they figure a way to take back Grey's kingdom? Or will they just die in vain? Let's be honest here, most of you probably like the fox aspect of the story the most. (BTW the cover design is made by me. Terrible, I know) I'm kind of done with writing bs descriptions that I might change in the future, plus I'm not very good with being thoughtful with quotes and stuff like that. I just write what pops into my mind, which is usually stupid things. So the description may or may not be accurate so I've changed it to being very vague.

Legacy: A wolf's tale
Follow Akascha as she goes from a beast of burden to a lovely (well more like a slightly belligerent) young woman! Note.This is a shory story (about 25.000 words) I wrote a while back in high school. Therefore, the range and depth of the story might be a bit lacking, but I wanted to share it with you anyway now that I discovered RR. Although I would love comments or constructive criticisme (as one can always learn), be aware that I have - at this point in time - no plans of rewriting this story. Thank you and I hope you enjoy! Oh and before I forget! The first chapter is rather short, but the rest of the chapters will make up for it.
