Revelations (part 2)
[Embyr]
None of us know quite what to say. Slowly, Arthur’s face starts to turn red, as the words finally sink in. Going into full alpha dude attitude, he pounds his fist on the table, spilling half the food. I jump out of the way as he screams “What do you mean you betrayed her? How? What did you do? How is that even possible?”
He then practically leaps across the table to grab her by the collar. What I can’t believe is that Hot Chick just lets him. In fact, she just leans in, her face in full “resting-bitch” mode, not saying a damn thing at first. Her expression is completely flat, her eyes expressing that she has absolutely no-fucks left, she stares Arthur down.
She either has no fear, or she has no

Once Upon a Tryst The Company You Keep
[Faye] We follow Devona down into the cellar. As we enter the room, it is eerily lit with candles. The horseman from the night before is trapped in a cage of violet light that glows cold, not warm, like the deepest shadows. I watch as the light seems to dance, weaving itself like a basket around his prone form. It is as I stand here, watching that Devona’s words finally hit me and I almost stumble, an arm holding me steady. I look up at the person holding me steady as this comes into focus within my mind. She is holding me steady, keeping me from falling into the spell. She is Merlin. The Merlin.
Once Upon a Tryst Calling Avalon
[Faye] I wake to the sound of an ungodly shrieking. It is dark. The glasses are thankfully off of my face which means my sight has returned to normal, or at least mostly. Embyr is standing over me, and even now she is glowing faintly, the echo of a young man with golden skin, gently curling hair, and gentle eyes framing her like a holographic shadow. It is eerie. I close my eyes again as I try to stand. Closing my eyes, however, did nothing to stop the glow. I can still see the edges of her, the edges of everyone’s true selves, shining around them through my closed eyes. Whatever those glasses did to my vision, to my mind, has not completely faded yet. Maybe the effects never will. Maybe I’ll always see everyone in a type of twisted double vision.
Once Upon a Tryst Kiss Me or Kill Me
[Faye] My hand stings as I shout in her face, “That is for not telling me the truth.” She doesn’t move, doesn’t do anything as I raise my hand again. “That is for lying, for making me feel insane, for trying to take me to that evil bitch of a queen.” I slap her again. “And that is for…”I begin the cry again. Devona catches me before I fall, cradling me in her arms as I punch at her chest. She rubs my back as she sings me into calmness.
Once Upon a Tryst If Memory Serves Me
[Devona] I don’t wait to hear what she has to say before I rush to her, crushing her against the wall, and moving my hand gently down her neck as our kiss deepens. She opens to me immediately, inviting me in as her own tongue dives into my mouth, tasting me, sampling me. This is all new to us, new and old at the same time. I pull away just long enough to ask, “What do you remember?” She pauses, giving me a look of askance, her lips delightfully plump with the passion of our kiss. “What do you mean?” I sigh. Knowing I’m about to ruin something miraculous, I pull away, separ
Once Upon a Tryst As if Tomorrow is Not a Promise (part 1)
[Arthur] The tension between Faye and Devona is almost visible, like waves rippling between them. Something happened while we were gone. There is something bigger happening between those two, something that at the moment does not include me. Is Devona simply “watching” over Faye or is something deeper happening here? I look away. I can see how Devona is devoted to Faye, but does Faye notice that the other woman looks at her with such intensity when she isn’t watching? I know that our relationship is still quite new and that I have no claim to her or her affections exclusively, but a p
Once Upon a Tryst As if Tomorrow is Not a Promise (part 2)
[Faye] “Wife?” I look back at the box, then back at him. Tonight has been magical, amazing, incredible but…wife? Married? Forever? Especially after the afternoon I had, the visions, that moment with Devona. My eyes begin to water. So much about this situation seems wonderful and tragic simultaneously. How can we be together? When has the universe ever let us be together? Never, if my dreams are correct. Never in over 1500 years. “But…I..our families&
Once Upon a Tryst As if Tomorrow is Not a Promise (part 3)
[Arthur] If someone had told me last month that having a party would lead to my wedding I’d have laughed in their faces. But I guess that just goes to show you that sometimes destiny has other plans. Now here I am, standing in line at the Clark County Marriage Bureau, dressed in designer clothing purchased just that evening, holding my ID in my right hand, and in my other hand, the woman of my dreams. The line is long. Apparently, it is impossible to make an appointment to get your license here in Las Vegas. You can get it online, but I didn’t think that far ahe
Once Upon a Tryst Vows and Vultures
[Faye] The questions keep coming, faster than I can follow. “So are you here as guests?” “Who is the beautiful young lady? “Look over here! No here!” “Is it true your father just married his secret mistress?” “Is that your new sister, your step-sister?” &ldqu
