《The Golden Swan // Edward Cullen》Chapter sixteen

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.

In a world where cultivation is the highest form of virtue, the purity of one’s blood is of absolute value. Saul is neither Arloni, nor Delcairan. He’s both. But when a strange ring suddenly falls into his hands, nineteen year old Saul is more than willing to push the boundary between fantasy and reality. However, things are not as they once were in Falden. At a time where Saul finally confronts lord Albryte’s sons after years of torment and abuse, his father’s health is fading fast. Suddenly faced with the consequences of his actions, Saul is forced to make a difficult decision. And as he fights his own battle, dark forces descend upon Lucidia. Followed by a pair of glowing red eyes, a stranger appears in the night, visiting Falden with unfavorable intentions. Even worse, nameless assassins strike at the heart of the capital, leaving Eliza Zaryph, the black sheep of the ruling house of Lucidia, shouldering the burden of governing a kingdom that once turned its back on her. As the world marches toward chaos, their lives take a drastic turn. Will Saul abandon those he holds most dear? Will Eliza drown herself in the past? Or will they struggle against fate and seize the future with their own hands? Tomorrow remains uncertain. But the Sun will show them the way. Author's Note: Inspired by the Wuxia/Xianxia genre the magic system is comprised of cultivating through different Worlds of power, where each World offers more strength and abilities. Currently there are five Worlds known: Essence Practitioner, Essence Channeler, Essence Warrior, Essence Conquerer, and finally Essence Ruler.

Table of Contents: Prologue Part 1: Homecoming (chapters 1-12) Part 2: Journey (chapters 13-25) About 70 percent complete.
