"Warder--"
"Go!" He commanded, his voice terrifying. He pushed her towards the hallway. As she went, she saw that Hadren was on the ground, but struggling already to rise. "Go!"
His voice was powerful enough to propel her forward. She ran aimlessly, unsure of her direction. After a moment, she realized that glass was crackling under her feet--she was traversing the hallways where Ysabel had broken the lights. Lucy wondered if she could find Persephone--if she was even still alive. Warder's blood was heavy on her hands, sticky as it dried. Would he really survive the fight with Hadren?
She did not love him; she did not want him to die.
A figure in uniform came around the corner and collided with Lucy. On instinct, she tried to change direction, fearing harm from any warrior except Warder. The warrior made a noise deep in her throat and reached for Lucy's hands as she tried to run past.
"You're bleeding."
Lucy stopped short. She knew that voice. It was like a ghost from her other life, outside the mountain. Because it couldn't really be--it couldn't be--
"Sheera?"
The warrior dropped their hood, revealing Sheera's bright hair. "Luce."
"What are you doing here?" asked Lucy. "It's not safe! Are you with the rebels? Are you--"
Sheera cut her off with a crushing hug. "You're alive."
"Yes," said Lucy. "And the blood--isn't mine."
Sheera pulled back and surveyed her, confirming for herself that this was true. "Good," she said. "I'm not a rebel, but I knew what they were planning. I found a way in and now seemed like as good a time as any. While they're distracted."
"You can get us out?"
"Yes," said Sheera. "You're going home."

Anonymousover 4 years agoIt's easier to read there and have wider readers range. There are writers who get advertisers on their books and get published while the votes and comments from readers will motivate you to write even more!

Anonymousover 5 years agoI really love your story! Is the book published now? If so, where can we get a copy?
bloodandsandover 5 years agosad. On another note: I must say that trying to get things published and sold is hard af. Many lit writers have tried. None that I know of has been truly successful. Likely because the stories here aren't mainstream enough.
5233113over 5 years agoPlease, please continue! You said in a previous note that you knew the pain of an unfinished story, yet here we are. You also stated in the beginning of this chapter that you had more already written, so at the very least, please, PLEASE post that! You have me hooked, and the story is just getting really interesting! Please continue!
Anonymousover 5 years agoI have been a fan since the beginning and can't wait for more! I like the new first chapter a lot, but can see how it might change the ending a bit. I was wondering if you could solve the problem of it fitting in with the story by giving all of the humans on the island amnesia (maybe Warder's people somehow did it?) so that they could rule the island without any interference.
