A couple days had passed with little to no hiccups; you passed through multiple towns, each as uneventful as the last, before finally reaching a small town, Bacup.  You had never even heard of this place before, and yet, here it was.  Though it barely held more than a thousand people, you could not help but feel a warm sense of pride in these people; there was no castle in sight, but instead, brown cottages clumped together.  It really gave the place a feeling of a close knit community. While you passed through the town you were preparing yourself for the all the whispers and stares.  However, the "disguise" Arthur had given you seemed to be

Though it had been a couple of hours since the two of you took a break, it felt like days to you.  Arthur seemed perfectly content without speaking a single word and instead, gesturing and grunting for you do something.  It was quite exhausting, if you were perfectly honest.  You had tried to do the same, though you were not used to people ignoring you and you quickly broke down.  Huffing and puffing, you had decided to take a break from his silence and stalk away from him. You stomped through the forest, hands balled in fists, quiet insults flying out of your mouth.  Pah, you did not need this kind of treatment from a lowly pawn such as he!

The strong winds felt bitter to you tonight, they cut deep in your bones, chilling you to the core.  The sweat that gathered underneath your clothes were now freezing droplets clinging to your body.  An involuntary shudder ran up and down your spine, as you closed your eyes, sucking in a breath of air. You stood outside on a balcony, observing your parents' lands, mainly, the forest.  The moon shone down, blanketing everything in its glow.  Despite the calming presence of it, if you strained your ears enough, the sound of metal against metal rang out into the night.  You shuddered to think of how much bloodlust lay in that forest just a coup

It had been weeks since you had started dating Toni. Thus far, it seemed like it was going smoothly. Sure, perhaps you had been taking it slowly, as it this he was your first serious relationship, and he had been a bit reluctant to go your speed, but it felt fine. But you still worried you were going a bit too slow for him. You still hadn't shared your first kiss! Just the thought of that made you grimace, just how long were you going to prolong it? You had shoved him away the first time he had tried, pushing against his face as he had leaned closer to you. You couldn't explain why you had done so, other than the reasoning of you were too su

Perhaps it had finally hit you that you were going out with Toni; for days, you had been drifting aimlessly around and not paying attention to anything. But that day, in the morning before your date, you were suddenly awoken from your haze. It was like all the energy you hadn't used during the previous days had just been waiting for this moment. The day passed by in a blur, a productive one, but a blur none the less. Soon, it was twenty minutes before you had to meet up with him. You took one last look at yourself in the mirror, rubbing the cloth between your fingers and nibbling on your lip. Finding nothing that needed to change or fix, you

There was a deep dark secret you had been keeping from everyone, you could count the amount of people you had told on one hand.  It was a secret that had grabbed a hold of your whole body for years.  The fact was, was that you-  Well, you hadn't had your first...anything, really.  While your friends spoke about new boyfriends and girlfriends, you were too busy hiding your face in a book.  Sure, you had friends who you could potentially see as dating, though they were just friends, nothing less and nothing more. But there was one, there was always one that had to come around and mess everything up.  Antonio Carriedo, the grinning and cheerful
