Brea slipped into a long black dress... she curled her hair, she allowed her golden locks to fall on top of her shoulders.
There was a gentle knock on her door. She turned and saw Bella, who was wearing a light blue dress.
"Brea, you look beautiful," Bella smiled.
"You think? I think this cast is a little too much," Brea laughed.
Bella held out her hand...which Brea took.
"Your eyes are going back to normal," Bella said.
Brea nodded.
Both girls walked carefully down the stairs.
Edward stood at the end of the stairs... looking at Brea.
"Alice lent us the dresses. And I have to say it goes very well with my cast," Brea laughed.
"You are perfect! I'll take good care of them, Chief," Edward smiled.
"Heard that before," Charlie mumbled.
Edward held out his hand for Brea to take... which she did without hesitation.
They all three make their way to the door.
Charlie grabbed both Brea and Bella.
"I put some more pepper spray in both of your bags," Charlie said.
"Oh My God! Dad! Again?" Brea laughed.
"And.... you both look beautiful," Charlie smiled.
Both girls hurried off towards Edward and climbed into his car, waving goodbye to their dad.
*****************
They all three arrived.
"I can't believe you are forcing me to do this," Brea frowned, looking over at Edward.
Edward laughed.
"You are really trying to kill me," Brea said.
"Prom is an important rite of passage! I don't want you to miss anything," Edward smiled.
Bella hurried past them and rushed off to her friends.
"I much rather be at home, watching an old movie.....wearing sweats or reading a good book," Brea sighed.
They posed for a picture.

They walk in... Brea isn't impressed.
She searched the room and saw Rosalie, who was smiling over at her. Brea waved... and Rosalie waved back.
"Shall we?" Edward asked.
"What? No! Really?" Brea questioned.
Edward doesn't wait for an answer... He picked up Brea and carried her to the dance floor.
He spun her around, then pulled her closer.
"See? You're dancing!" Edward laughed.
"At prom!" Brea smiled.
They both danced as if they were the only ones in the room... not caring who was looking.
Brea felt his grace, his strength... she smiled.
"Edward... Why did you save me?" Brea asked,throwing him off.
"Brea, you don't want this," Edward sighed.
"You're right! But if you'd let the venom spread, I could've ended up like you" Brea said.
"Brea..." Edward replied but was cut off.
"All I know is.... I want you," Brea said.
"I won't end your life for you," Edward growled.
Brea pulled away and walked outside... Edward followed her.
"I'm dying anyway...Every minute, I-I just don't want to get old.. While you are still young and beautiful," Brea sighed, feeling Edward behind her.
"That's how it's supposed to happen," Edward said.
"Not the way Alice saw it! I-I heard her...I'll end up being just like you, and I sense I'll be powerful," Brea replied.
"Her visions change, Brea," Edward sighed.
They both looked at one another.
"Only if I get to be with you! Then yes," Brea said.
Edward lowered his lips to her neck.... And kissed her neck.
"You're going to have a long and happy life with me! Isn't that enough?" Edward asked.
Brea pulled away and looked at him.. She smiled.
"For now! I'll wait as long as I have too," Brea said.
Edward pulled her close and they both started dancing.....Underneath the stars and bright moonlight.

Nero Zero
Monsters plagued the lands for too long. No matter if one had fangs, beak, teeth, skin, fur, or feather, or was tall, stout, or diminutive, the people suffered. Until the Gadgeteers came with a device that could allow people to fight back. Powered by one's own magical power, feeding off of monster Essence, the Arbitrium bracer turned the tables. It also changed society. Strength of one's level cap was all that mattered. The strongest were Kings and Emperors. The weak or those too poor to afford the marvelous device, destitute. And so it has been for millennia. All that mattered was one's level cap. High, low, a fate decided the moment the strange contraption came alive. Too high and you were a threat to those interested in keeping the status quo, a weed to be nipped before it could grow and take root. Too low and you were nobody, fated to be a bit more than a simple farmer. What if someone, somewhere, came up with a zero for their level cap? Unable to use Essence, unable to level up. On all of recorded history, it never happened. Until it did. In a small village of fur-less and tail-less ape-beastkin, a boy found out he was uniquely handicapped. Nero's level cap was Zero. But he'd never let that stop him from reaching his goals. ------------------------------------------------ All stories have already been told. We merely reuse elements from them. From Joseph Campbell's Monomith to Stephen King's advice, and that encyclopedia of tropes you've visited, fiction has been dissected and reassembled countless times. One will surely find elements inspired on other works here. Just like cooking from basic ingredients, the recipe and presentation is what really matter. This is a fantasy adventure, of someone that goes from a zero to a slightly bigger zero. It will have romance but no harem. Cruelty but with hope dimly shining ahead. Lightweight where it can be, heavy where it must. Thanks for reading. Cover Credits (The cover is CC-BY-NC-SA): Steampunk Spider Bracer, by Daniel Proulx.
