¬Luella
I scream.
Rushing toward the edge of the cliff, slipping over the dew on the grass, I desperately search below into the darkness to see where Time’s body has fallen. Surely he can’t die from this...right? He’s immortal, so it would take a lot more to kill him than simply falling off a cliff into the bush below, but the thought of him being injured, even if Time isn’t my favourite immortal, makes me feel ill.
“Time!” I shout down the cliff, seeing nothing but inky shadows swirling tauntingly around a void of darkness, the immortal nowhere to be seen. I don’t have abilities to heal like him, so if I slip, which the stones

¬LuellaThought sits in front of me, looking me dead in the eye.He’s dragged me right to the top of his estate, in a small room clouded in dust with one small window letting in a small amount of natural sunlight. His plan, to see how capable I am with the powers I’m developing. Thought doesn’t think it will go any further than being able to get into Time’s mind, but I have my doubts. I feel different, like there is power flowing endlessly through my veins.“We need to work on controlling your power. You waking up in the middle of the night not realising your set on walking an immortal off a cliff cannot happen anymore. Es

¬LuellaMy blood chills as panic sets in.It’s finally happening. The immortals have had enough waiting around for me to come out of Thought’s territory to attack, and are here to finally take me away. Thought has been vague about the immortals intentions are for me; maybe they want to find out how to replicate the curse, maybe bleed me out or disect my brain.“Who is it?” I ask, not ashamed of my shuddering tone. Thought and Time exchange glances, clearly as anxious about this visator as I am. Yet they aren’t the ones who may be potentially dragged away by this person, never to be seen again.

¬LuellaDeath is exactly how I imagined her to be.She has similar features to Thought, with long, straight dark hair that hangs down to her hips. With each time of her head, her hair seems to glimmer with a silver sheen. Her eyes are silver, like Thought’s although a more muted grey. They seem to be alive, like dark tendrils of fog swirl endlessly around her irises.And just to make her more like her namesake, she is dressed to head to toe with skin tight clothing, which is as black as obsidian. She is gorgeous, but undeniably intimidating. I can feel the power radiating off her, as if she is about to grab me, and drag me

¬LuellaThe water runs across my skin, a gentle, warm caress.This is the only place I can find peace, after waking in Death’s realm. I’m unsure of whether to be angry at Thought or not, to blame him for putting me here. After last night, I’m more motivated than ever to get into Death’s head and determine for myself why she really wants me here.Because something tells me it’s not to protect me. Even if Thought thinks it is.Leaning back against the showe
Thought 33
¬LuellaI raise my hand, starting down at it.I’ve been in another immortals head before, but this time, it’s different, I can feel it. Instead of being able to see into his memories, I am in Revel’s consciousness, able to control his body. Awkwardly, I move his limbs around under my control, feeling the strangeness, but also the power. Revel is a Sin, with power that is different to mine. I can feel is streaking through my veins.Shaking myself off, I think, staring at my own body, which just stares back at me, void of consciousness. I can use this to my advantage for as long as I can, maybe even go speak to Death and find out
Thought 34
¬LuellaI’m ashamed that I’m more relieved than concerned.He wants to kill Death. Just hearing those words come from a complete stranger sounds so absurd. You can’t kill Death, she is infinitely powerful; perhaps one of the most powerful of the immortals, considering the mass of immortals she rules over by herself. If she were to no longer exist, there would be no place for mortals who have just died to be judged and to serve their sentence for their past life sins. The entire concept of death would be so skewed it would likely destroy the world as we know it.“Who are you?” I can’t help but ask, wanting to know what kind
Thought 35
¬LuellaI know what he’s doing.It’s painfully obvious that he knew Thought was approaching before I did, and him kissing me is his sick, twisted way of getting under my mates skin. With Stace’s lips pressed against mine, his fingers gripping the sides of my face firmly, I’m both so disgusted and surprised, it takes me a moment to react, before I swiftly, pull myself from his grasp.“Get off me,” I growl, refraining from wiping my lips, as tempting as it is. Looking at the doorway, I notice Thought has vanished, leaving an empty, gaping space that has my stomach twisting uneasily. He didn’t think that was real, did he?

¬LuellaI stare past the flood of water that streams down the windshield, the scenery beyond a mix of greens and greys bleeding together.Thought and I just got into a car, and have been driving ever since. Getting away from his estate, from the life I have been living for all this time is a relief, almost like I’m escaping it without ever having to come back. Even though we aren’t far, it already feels like I’m normal again, like I’m mated to a normal man, and not some powerful immortal.“I can’t believe we are driving,” I comment, hiking my legs up on my seat. Thought offered to drive when I expected he would be us
