~Amolet
I’ve decided that I don’t think I like Sinful.
After the hot springs, Sinful transported us all back to his estate for the night. The moment my feet touched the ground, I was dressed in appropriate clothing again, and right before I could say anything to Sinful, he wished us a good night, and vanished into thin air.
Now, I sit at the edge of a guest bed that I’m confident I will not be getting much sleep in tonight, not with Sinful lurking about. Cian stands in the doorway, the backlight from the hallway casting deep shadows across his masterful cheekbones and graceful jawline. I’m not sure I will ever get sick of lookin

¬AmoletI let that information settle on my shoulders, the weight of it nearly pushing my head under the water.Part of me wants to burst out in laughter at the absurdity of the claim, but although Sinful looks amused, he’s not joking around. My smile falters on my lips. It seems like such a far away notion, something so ridiculous there is no point delving into what it could mean were it true. Yet for a moment, I just linger in the water, letting the cold fingers of dread wrap themselves around my throat, gripping tightly to the point I can hardly breathe.

¬AmoletThe world artfully recreates itself around us the moment our feet touch the ground.It’s evident immediately that we are still in Sinful’s Territory, mountains surrounding us from every angle. We are in a small village however, cobblestone streets stretching out before us, little shops and homes littered about under the starlight, lights glittering magically. Surprisingly, people are walking around, unbothered by the majestic mountains that rear up toward the sky, their master dwelling atop one of them.Cian grasps my gloved hand, leading me down the street, following the path of pale moonlight that bathes stone.

His Sin 28
¬AmoletI’m putting off getting out of bed this morning.I’m sure I’ve slept less than an hour, tossing and turning thinking about Cian and Lev. Eventually I decide I can’t just lay in bed for the rest of the day, and that I need to eventually face the world, even if I don’t want to.Muttering to myself, I drag myself from bed and numbly pull clothing over my limbs, hoping Cian will tell me we can just return back to where he will let me sleep all day. I’m sure if I asked him he would allow me to, but I don’t have the heart to ruin this mission anymore than I likely am. Cian is just being nice, keeping me safe, I don’t wan
His Sin 29
¬AmoletI nearly topple over in shock.Not only is the fact that Cian is gone, nowhere to be seen, and I’m standing in a snowy labrinth absolutely terrifying, but I’m standing before Stace, who last time I checked, wants to lock me away from Cian for my own ‘safety’. And now he stands before me, looking like he is going to eat me alive."You need to send me back,” I say immediately. I’m not sure how he got me here, away from Cian, but I need to go back. What if Cian is looking for me? As I turn to look over my shoulder, realising with horror that I’m atop a mountain, similar to Sinful’s, but everything below this cliff is
His Sin 30
~AmoletI’m not sure what I expected, but this isn’t it.For a moment I’m so surprised, so taken aback I’m convinced Cian has taken me to the wrong place. We are on the edge of another mountain, however this one is capped with snow, and isn't surrounded by a wonderful view of distant villages dotted with sparkling lights. Instead, right below the rocky outcrop we stand on, is a massive ravine, gorged into the mountain leading all the way out to the horizon.Grabbing a hold of Cian’s arm tightly, I push away from the edge of the cliff, wary of the slipping rocks that scatter down into the jagged bottom of the ravine.
His Sin 31
~AmoletMy head rests back against the couch, my eyes closed."I can't believe we agreed to that."Cian laughs, although it sounds tense. We reluctantly agreed to Hale’s terms, then left almost immediately. Involving another Immortal was the last thing I wanted, and Cian seems to share the same sentiment, which only worries me more. I still feel shaken after meeting Hale. He is definitely a strange man, one who I don’t want to spend much more time around, even if I’m going to have to.
His Sin 32
~Amolet"What do immortal’s eat, anyway?"I glance around the corner and into the living room, where Cian sits, reading a book he plucked from my bookshelf. Seeing him with it reminds me of how him and I came to speak to each other. I brought him a book to read, even if it was a childish one. My plan with that was to bait him into speaking, which worked well in my favour. Now it’s been two full days with him in Lev and I’s apartment."Worry about yourselves before me,” he responds distractedly.
His Sin 33
~AmoletThe bed shifts as I gently crawl out of it, trying not to wake Lev.Despite the information I revealed to Lev that is life changing for the both of us, he had no issue falling asleep. I, however, have spent far too long staring at the ceiling into the darkness, wondering what I’m going to do about my messed up life. Should I tell Cian, should I not tell Cian?Now I’ve decided laying in bed next to a peacefully sleeping Lev isn’t going to do me any good, and I’m more likely to lay thinking over actually getting any sleep.
