I'm super excited to show these photos of elder flowers to Addie, my best friend and kind of like a sister (an older one). But I notice something on one of the photos, I look closer as I place the other ones on the carved wood table. It was a person, leaning against the bark of the Mystic tree and I guess I caught a perfect picture of the guy because I could make out his appearance easily. He had dark black hair, dark olive skin, and soulful ocean eyes. He didn't seem pretty happy though... He looked... Worried and lonely. Not something you always see in a guy, right? I wonder if I could find him, maybe he comes often? I collected the other photos, quickly glancing if accidentally took another gorgeous picture of this mystery guy and put them in my hoodie pocket. I put the other one in my little brown pack and started off for school.

"Lilly!" Addie yelled as she almost ran into me. I laugh, "You can never get to old of yelling right?" "Nope, so about the pics..." she smiled, "you got 'em?" "Of course, here" I search in my pockets and gave them to her. "Oh my... These are really good" she admired. "Thanks, glad I could help but.. " I wondered if I should tell her about the mystery guy. "Yes?" she repeated the tone of my voice while smiling. "I was wondering do you know this guy?" I said, taking out the picture. She looked at it and froze. "Girl, how do you not regonize him?" she said in a low whisper." Remember Jade, the girl that always tries to bully you? She broke up with him a few weeks ago" I suddenly froze, that's why he looked so worried and sad, it was because he was heartbroken. I had my share of a heartbreak and trust me it's not fun (well duh, of course). "That's so sad... Why did Jade break up with him?" "I don't know but rumour has it he cheated on her" What? Ok I may have known this guy for... I don't know 30 minutes? And even I can tell he actually love Jade. "Seriously? Look at the guy, wouldn't you care less if you "cheated" on her?" Then the normal loudness of the halls came to a hush when a dark figure, slowly walked into it. Addie suddenly rushed to the other side of the lockers but I didn't notice since I was too focus on looking at the picture that I end up falling to the ground. The picture flies out of my hands and I look up to see who pushed me but then I notice the same guy in my picture was the same guy who accidentally bumped into me. I quickly pick of the picture and cleared my throat. He pulled down his headphones on his neck and crouched down. "Hey, sorry I didn't mean to bump into you" his voice was soft and soothing also something you don't hear in a guy's voice. "It's...ok just be careful next time" I chuckled not really wanting this to be a big deal. He looked shocked for a moment. "She didn't yell at me..." he whispered under his breath. My heart ached at the comment, I don't think someone who supposedly cheated on a girl would say something like that. He got up and extended his hand, it looked massively huge compared to mine. I gently took his hand and he pulled me up. I didn't know why but the way his hand covered mine made me feel safe. He pulled his hand away and pushed them deep in his pockets. "I'm Archr Greyclaw, call me Archr" he said in a hushed tone. "I-I'm Lillian Summers, umm Lilly" I stuttered. He looks so deeply into my eyes, like if he's staring straight into my soul. I swallow, "Are you ok?" He shook his head like breaking a trance and he nodded, "Yeah... Sorry" And I watch him relunctantly leave my sight as he turns the corner to his next class as I follow with some distance between us asI walk to my own class.

Dark clouds filled my mind, I really wish he didn't bring up my ex. Killian turned his head slightly as it seemed like everyone was looking at me. I sighed, "Yes, but it wasn't real" Shade shot a glare at Killian as she saw my expression change, he brought his head down sheepishly. Wyatt gazed at me sympathetically and placed his hand firmly on my wrist. I blinked as I felt a strange emotion bubbling up inside of me. I normally don't feel this way. "He must've been a huge jerk if he hurt you that bad..." he grumbled. He gently brushed his thumb up and down on my hand, comforting me. But I didn't feel comfort... I don't know what I felt but it's burning my chest and I sort of... Enjoy it? I look up at him and look into his dark brown eyes, he's not teasing me... This is real.

I've tried so hard But my legs are tired All of my scars Came from your bared wire

I tried to save you But you didn't care What can I do? With someone who just states

All these attempts All theses words Just shoved away in the back of your mind Where everything is hidden from the light

So I now say good-bye And you might want me back Don't you know I tried? Yet your acceptance is what I lack

I wish I never hurt you This pain in your eyes But I didn't know what else to do It was the only way to get you away from my life

My mother is peacefully gone And my father has left me So what's done is done But you were my everything

I never would have hurt you If it was a good reason of that mile Because I didn't want was happening to me happen to you too I couldn't bear to not see that beautiful smile But I still wish I never hurt you The way I did

Kimi- shy, quiet, very calm (girl) she only has a mother, her father died in car accident Wanda- loud, sarcastic, popula girl She sometimes makes fun of Kimi and says she's joking (girl) Charlie- quiet, mean, pushes everyone away then wants them to come back (boy) Kilo- bully, tough, rude sometimes only for protection, his mother and father got divorced and he thinks it was because of him, has a crush on Kimi but doesn't want to mess a relationship up (boy)

  Kimi woke up with the thoughts of people she saw in her head. As she walks the halls of school she notices her best friend talking with girls she didn't know. 

"Hi, Wanda!" Kimi smiles but then stops when Wanda looks at her. Wanda's thoughts: 𝓤𝓰𝓱 𝓷𝓸𝓽 𝓱𝓮𝓻 𝓪𝓰𝓪𝓲𝓷, 𝓳𝓾𝓼𝓽 𝓰𝓸 𝓪𝔀𝓪𝔂 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓽𝔀𝓸 𝓼𝓮𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓼 Kimi's voice falters and quickly walks away. Kimi's thoughts: 𝓢𝓱𝓮 𝔀𝓪𝓼 𝓯𝓪𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓶𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝔀𝓱𝓸𝓵𝓮 𝓽𝓲𝓶𝓮? 𝓦𝓱𝔂? 𝓐𝓷𝓭 𝔀𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓯𝓸𝓻? Kimi tried to swallow the tears forming her eyes as she walks toward her other friend, Charlie, who is talking to his gang. Kimi picked up her pace and waved to Charlie but froze. Charlie's thought: 𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮 𝓼𝓱𝓮 𝓰𝓸𝓮𝓼 𝓪𝓰𝓪𝓲𝓷... 𝓘 𝔀𝓸𝓷𝓭𝓮𝓻 𝓲𝓯 𝓼𝓱𝓮'𝓵𝓵 𝓰𝓮𝓽 𝓫𝓸𝓻𝓮𝓭 𝓸𝓯 𝓽𝓻𝔂𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓽𝓸 𝓼𝓪𝔂 𝓱𝓲 𝓽𝓸 𝓶𝓮 Kimi's eyes widened and she whispered softly, "Not you too, Charlie" She suddenly felt the need to get out of there so she ran to the place she felt safe in.

She quickly crouched down and held herself, crying quietly as she leans on the neatly bookcase. She hears footsteps and looks up to see Kilo, her bully. Kimi's thought: 𝓞𝓯 𝓬𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓼𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓸𝓷𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓽𝓸 𝓽𝓸𝓹 𝓲𝓯 𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓸𝓯𝓯... Kilo eyes widened, "Are you...crying?" "Please... I've had enough for one day" Kimi's voice cracking. Her eyes getting puffy and red as she wiped her face. Then she stopped as she heard Kilo's thoughts. Kilo's thoughts: 𝓜𝓪𝓷...𝓢𝓱𝓮 𝓾𝓼𝓾𝓪𝓵𝓵𝔂 𝓭𝓸𝓮𝓼𝓷'𝓽 𝓰𝓮𝓽 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓴𝓮𝓭 𝓾𝓹 𝓵𝓲𝓴𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼.

"Hey umm what happened?" Kilo sighed, sitting down next to her. His voice calm and soothing made Kimi's heart beat faster. She gazed into his eyes which made him blush a bit and he cleared his throat silently. Kilo's thoughts: 𝓦𝓱𝔂 𝓭𝓸𝓮𝓼 𝓼𝓱𝓮 𝓵𝓸𝓸𝓴 𝓼𝓸 𝓭𝓪𝓶𝓷 𝓬𝓾𝓽𝓮 𝔀𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝓼𝓱𝓮 𝓵𝓸𝓸𝓴𝓼 𝓪𝓽 𝓶𝓮 𝓵𝓲𝓴𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽? Kimi blushes harder, "Y-You wouldn't believe me.." "Come on take your best shot" Kilo joked. Kimi sighed, "I have the ability to read minds and I guess Wanda and Charlie aren't my real friends..." "Read minds?" Kilo seemed intrigued then he shook his head. "Oh... That's why you were crying?" She nodded and looked away slowly. Kilo thoughts: 𝓘 𝓼𝓱𝓸𝓾𝓵𝓭'𝓿𝓮 𝓫𝓮𝓮𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓚𝓲𝓶𝓲, 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓷 𝓲𝓯 𝓲𝓽 𝓶𝓮𝓪𝓷𝓽 𝓵𝓸𝓼𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓶𝔂 𝓼𝓽𝓪𝓽𝓾𝓼 𝓘'𝓭 𝓻𝓪𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓻 𝓵𝓸𝓼𝓮 𝓽𝓱𝓪𝓽 𝓽𝓱𝓮𝓷 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓼𝓶𝓲𝓵𝓮 𝔂𝓸𝓾 𝓰𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓶𝓮 𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓻𝔂 𝓭𝓪𝔂. Kimi's eyes widen and her eyes dart back to Kilo. "Y-You really mean that?" Kilo looked confused then he remembered what she just told her and he blushed in pink. "I-I...yeah" he sighed, finally admitting how he felt truly.

𝓣𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓬𝓪𝓷'𝓽 𝓫𝓮 𝓱𝓪𝓹𝓹𝓮𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰, I thought as my ears twitched at his confession toward his friend. He admitted his love for me even though I'm a werewolf and he's a human. "So... You're in love... With a werewolf? Do you honestly see how dangerous that is?!?" Kisho yelled. I rolled my eyes, 𝓐𝓽 𝓵𝓮𝓪𝓼𝓽 𝓱𝓮 𝓱𝓪𝓼 𝓪 𝓼𝓮𝓷𝓼𝓲𝓫𝓵𝓮 𝓯𝓻𝓲𝓮𝓷𝓭. Zachery gazed at the night sky in deep thought then looked back at Kisho, his eyes determined. "No I don't...because I never met anyone as caring and gentle as her" he said in a soft whisper. I could see the blush forming in his face as he continues to look in the starry sky. My heart beats quicker, 𝓘'𝓶 𝓷𝓸𝓽 𝓼𝓾𝓹𝓹𝓸𝓼𝓮𝓭 𝓽𝓸 𝓯𝓮𝓮𝓵 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝔀𝓪𝔂... 𝓦𝓱𝔂 𝓭𝓲𝓭 𝓘 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓽𝓸 𝓯𝓪𝓵𝓵 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓪 𝓱𝓾𝓶𝓪𝓷?!? I slowly step back on the tree branch not realizing how small it was when I fall back. I try to get a good grip on the trunk of the tree but I was too far. I didn't feel the hard surface of the ground so I slowly open my eyes. "G-Grace?" I quickly look up and see Zachery's emerald eyes, holding my body as gently a possible. "Hey..." I grumbled. "Are you ok? You took quite a fall there" he searched my body for any cuts or bruises. "I'm fine just didn't watch where I was going and I could've landed" I crossed my arms trying to push down how hard my heart was beating. He smiled, "Right" My eyes gazed into his as he placed me down softly. "I need to tell you something, Grace" he whispers. "What is it?" I reply returning the whisper. "I-I'm in love with you..."

No one is near me since they know who I am. I'm a water-bender and the ocean is my biggest element. The water following the twirls of my fingers as the power surges from my veins to the waters movements. The air swirls around my body responding to my emotions as he looks at me in wonder. Xander... His eyes follow my movements and it only increases the beat of my heart. I form a water droplet and splash it at his face. He shakes his head and laughs then runs after me. The ocean waves at each movement of my hands and he backs off. He rolls his eyes, "Come on, why can't this be a normal water fight?" "I need to practice if you're going to be with me and people don't like the difference" His smirk falters, his eyes growing in sympathy. I look back at him and realize he didn't take it as a joke. "Hey, I was just messing around" I smiled. "Still...you shouldn't have to always have to keep your guard up" I sighed, "Don't think about X-ey besides at least we're alive"

Continued... He looked into my eyes and breathed in softly. "KC-" "Hey! That's the guard that stole the princess!" someone shouted. My heart dropped, Zayn's eyes narrowed and he growled quietly. He clenched my hand and sprinted towards the exit behind the old broken down bakery. My heart pounded as I heard the clacking of armor boots on the ground. "We're almost there" Zayn whispered as he pulled me onto the wall across from the exit. I heard the captain of the guards yelling and swearing not too far from us. His voice made my body shiver, Zayn felt it too. "He's not going to get you... Over my dead body" he growled. I almost choked on my saliva as his words entered my ears. "W-wha-" "Not literally, KC" he chuckled. "Sorry about that I know you're sensitive" He loosened his tight grip on my hand. "Right... Okay" I sigh in relief. He looks in the gap between the exit and starts walking slowly. I follow then glance at the guards from the gap in the alley. But when I looked back at Zayn he was gone. "Z-zayn?" I was starting to panic, my heart was tightening in my chest. "Don't worry, princess" The voice ran through my ears and my body shivered. "Let go of me!" Zayn yelled. Zayn noticed me and his expression soften. "L-let go of him...please" I stuttered. The capten smirked slowly and moved closer. "I don't think we can do that, princess. You see this guard is a rebel against the code of guardians." I wanted to hit him where he wouldn't get up for a long time but I knew I couldn't. "He's not, he's-" "We'll need to put him in the dungeon" Zayn was looking down again, I wanted him to be free from the guard's grasp. I couldn't take it how they just looked at him like he was... Worthless. I stood straight and clenched my fist. I turned around toward the captain and threw my fist at him. His head went back and his body fell on the floor. The other guards were in shock but quickly started to surround me. I counted them quickly and took my fighting stance. One by one they all retreated and all that was left was the guard holding Zayn. Zayn smirked at me and growled at the guard which made him run. I caught my breath and raced to Zayn. He held me close to his chest and brushed his thumb on my cheek. "I knew you were a good learner..." he smiled. I giggled, "Or maybe I had a good teacher" His smile faded and glanced at the captain still knocked out. "I should've been more careful..." he whispered under his breath. He pulled away slowly, his fingers leaving my hands. I knew he doubted everything about himself but I never seen it this bad before. I looked over him, his back facing me as he mumbles to himself. I groaned and walked over to him. I swung him around and pulled down on his collar so he was my height (yes, I'm that short). "Zayn Shadeclaw you listen to me" I said sternly. His eyes went wide with amazement and a bit of fear. "You have to understand that you protect me better than anyone and I love you for that but just stop thinking everything is your fault it's not" my voice turned more soft. He sighed and hugged me tight. "How did someone like you fall in love with someone like me?" I felt his lips move on my neck as he bury his face into it. I brushed his hair softly, "You're very likeable" I whispered in his ear. He grumbled,"No... I'm not" "Yes, you are because I did easily" His cheeks turned into a deep shade of red and looked away. I pulled his face toward me and smiled softly as he admired my face. His face was just a inch away from mine, I swallowed hard and looked into his eyes. He looked into mine and drifted toward my lips. I felt his breath on my face, soft and warm. I pulled closer, just a centimeter away. He kissed me softly. My heart was beating so loudly I thought it was going to explode. He carressed my face and held it. My arms pushed through on his shoulders and I pulled back. I opened my eyes and saw him, just looking deep into my eyes.

I felt his breathe on my neck as the guards ran pass the dark cave in the wall. "Za-" "Shh... There still passing" he whispered. The guards turned the corner and their footsteps slowly go away in the night. He looked toward my face and carressed the fresh new scar on my cheek. "KC... I'm so sorry" he apologized as his eyes filled with sorrow. I smiled softly," It's not you're fault-" "But I'm supposed to protect you, KC" I watched as his eyes looked down in shame. "Zayn... Look at me" He hesitated, he knew he couldn't ignore a demand. I pushed his face toward me gently, his oak brown eyes still on the ground. "Zayn?" I asked. He looked up his eyes dragging to mine. "Yes, your majesty” he said softly. I smirked and fixed his hoodie. "First of all, don't call me "your majesty" and second of all, do you know why you're my personal guard? " I asked. He smiled weakly and pushed his hands deep into his pockets. "Because you got me to talk... And you like me for some reason... " he mumbled. “And you are the only person that understands me” I took his hands softly, he flinched slightly. “I don’t want to lose what we have, Zayn” He was in shock, his hands felt warm in mind.
