After they finished eating, Crow gathered up the dishes and took them to the sink. “Do you wanna play some card games or something while you wait?” Will looked over from the table to the sink, “Wait? For what?” Crow shrugged a bit. “Well, for the okay that you can leave. I’m sure I can find a deck of cards laying about somewhere.” Will thought it over a moment. Playing games sounded like a decent distraction, but it wasn’...
Will had mumbled his full-titled name to himself after Crow left the room softly. It was like a spell was being said to him from someone else, though indeed it was his voice speaking. It was echoing in his ears. Again, and again Will repeated the name. Softly and quietly the words echoed into the bedroom. It took a few minutes and then Will's eyes widened a little bit. “He... knows. He... knows.” Will mumbled the two word...
Crow left out of the room, shutting the door quietly after he did. He left back down the kitchen and sat at one of the stools next to Akiio and Isaac. With a heavy sigh, he dropped his head onto the counter. Isaac laughed a bit and poked Crow's head. “What's wrong?” “It seems the only emotion that guy hasn't shut off is doubt.” Crow groaned again, letting out another sigh. Isaac looked to Akiio. “Doubt?” Akiio nodded. “Lo...
Chapter 10 Crow nodded and hurried over to Will. He put his hands under Will's arms and helped him to stand again, and led the shocked boy back onto the concrete and then back into the shop. Crow let go of Will once they were back in the bedroom, and Will was sitting back on the bed. Crow felt his cheeks. “Hey, you okay?” Will nodded a bit in shock, though he looked pale. “Wh-... What was that?” “Uh...” Crow straightened...
Chapter 9 As Crow closed the door he let out a sigh. Isaac was standing in the hall with his arms crossed and a testing looking on his face. Crow took a few steps, then stopped. “Yeah?” “You're not helping.” Isaac stated bluntly. “You're best bet is just to-” “I know!” Crow answered, turning to the blond. He lowered his voice, “It doesn't sit well with me to let him wander around thinking that he's the only one who knows!...
Chapter 8 The murmuring of the voices got closer to Will's ear. He groaned from the throbbing in his head, and squinted open his eyes drearily. Just then, Crow opened the door letting in a smell of scrambled eggs, toast and jam and some sweet tea. It was delicious and overpowered the lavender. “I'm fine. Get out!” Crow whispered in a frustrated manner to someone at the door, and shut it quickly with his foot once he was i...
Chapter 7As Will began to return to the world ofconsciousness, his thoughts swirled around. The dream he had been having was about the last dinner party he'd gone to, almost four months earlier. This was the time when Mia had offered him some nice fettuccine alfredo pasta with a special mix of spices she had added. Sadly, it hadn't just been limited to peppers and salt. The mixture had given Will food poisoning and left h...
The young man rubbed his shoulder, looking after Adell with a confused annoyed look. “Well. That was interesting.” He shrugged a bit, lifting his chin to see the doorway to the kitchen. A smile grew onto his face just before he headed across the crowd to the door. He greeted the servants coming and going with nods, and then slipped into the kitchen, looking around. His golden eyes spotted Will just as the pink-haired youn...
Surprised, Will's blue eyes turned to the one who addressed him on his left, eyes wide. He blinked a few times, then smiled. “Hello, sir! Would you like an hor'derves?” The young man smiled with a nod. He had dark navy hair, and lighter skin than Will. His orange golden eyes pierced into Will's being, as they seemed to almost glow if you looked at them for too long. He had a red long-sleeved blazer on with a white button-...
While Will continued setting up, a little boy dressed in a nice khaki colored pair of shorts and a white blouse with a blue big ribbon tied around the collar, came over and grabbed onto Will's shirt-tail. Will looked down and smiled at him. The little boy had sky blue eyes and light blond hair with pink tips, hiding one of his eyes. “Hi, Alexander. Have you finished getting cleaned up for the party tonight?” Will set down...
Will headed down the hallway, turning in to the kitchen. He watched the chefs and cooks hurrying around to get the food prepared for the party. As he walked over to talk to one of the cooks, covered in powder and sauces, that cook smiled at him. “Hey, you sure decided to sleep in late. It's already almost one,” the cook smiled. “You must've been pretty tired.” Seeing this as an opportunity to find out just how long he had...
Nell “Are there no depths to which you would not sink, Rochester?” The younger man laughed unashamedly. “When my lord and master provides me with excellent wine and even better women, the least I can do is lower the tone.” Charles smirked, his hands tightening around my waist. “Help yourself, my man, but keep your hands off this one. She’s mine.” Even after so long, the words still thrilled me to the core, and I twisted a...
Nell “All right, all right, break it up! What’s going on?” I picked up my skirts and ran towards the fight. The mob jeered to see a girl push her way through, but when it became clear that I intended to break them up myself a couple of men stepped in to help me, disentangling Roberts from the ugly man and pulling them apart. Finally under control, they were held within spitting distance, until they stopped struggling and...
Chapter 2 Unconscious. Thoughts streamed through Will's mind. What happened after that? It's just a blank spot in my memory. Kind of... like... it was taken. But, that's silly. You can't just take someone's memory like that, right from them. Can you? If... you could... Does that mean someone took my... Faint words echoed in from reality disturbing Will's thoughts and muddling them up. “Will... Will... Will.” Now I'm think...
