Hello, readers! For those who've never read my works, I'm EnraptureSins, a SM fanfic writer who likes to use the characters for my own personal universes and stories. Sometimes I do write canon work, but for the most part, I like to make my own stories with the characters that have interesting plots. Therefore, I wanted to try to write a more supernatural diverse story with a plot that can at least span more than 70 chapters (I've got an ideal pacing for things), and that's where Spellbound came from! As usual, I do have a word limit which will be 500 word limit (that is why chapters are short), but don't worry, I'm a pretty decent writer so a shorter word limit won't take away from the story or plot!
*Story takes place in an alternative universe. Please make note that most characters will have inverted (different) personalities compared to their manga/anime/crystal counterpart. Pairing is Ami/Zoisite with other pairings included as well.
Spellbound
1/ Stranger
The hearth crackled with from the soothing fire in its pits. Illuminating the small, dim room in a mixture of shadows and light, it projected an aura of warmth and coziness within the room despite the raging storm outside. Peering over the edge of her glasses, Ami surveyed the room; her wistful icy blue eyes slid over the two worn down bookcases, a small desk cluttered with books and folders, and the iron cage where her pet owl, Thoth, was perched cocking his head to the side. Closing her book, she laid it on the side table beside her armchair and slid her glasses off.
Looking at the clock, she noticed it was late in the evening, just a bit past six, "Maybe she is awake by now," Ami murmured standing up and placing her glasses on top of her book. "Would she be hungry? Hope she isn't ill. And she would need bathe, that's for sure."
Ami treaded slowly across the wooden floor creaking with each delicate step. The woman Ami spoke mildly about to herself was a woman she found passed out in front of the iron gates to her home. Before the rain became harder, Ami brought her, to the best of her ability, inside her home. The woman's body was paler than the moon, her blond hair her matted with rain and wet soil, and her muddy dress—Ami knew that the material and style wasn't something a poor woman like her would ever wear—was torn, soaked by the rain, and stained in dry blood. The blood seemed to come from the crevice of her neck where Ami found two punctures…as if something sharp had pierced it.
Of course, that was earlier, about half an hour ago. The woman hadn't left the room or if she did, Ami must've been too engrossed into her novel to notice. But when she opened the door to her bedroom, the blue haired maiden found the woman wedged in the corner. Sapphire eyes wide. Legs pulled close to her chest. Ami had never seen a petrified expression like it in her life.
Standing in the doorway, Ami pursed her lips and sighed, "I see you're awake. Would you like a bath? Some dinner?" The woman hadn't answered her. "Look, the storm won't be over for a while. And I know I'm a stranger to you, but at least I have the decency to bring you inside."
Because Goddess knows that Ami didn't like anyone being in her home—especially uninvited odd guests. She liked being alone, excluding Thoth who kept her company, and with her books. Friends were a nuisance. Family was hell personified. The woman's eyes franticly searched for any lie in her words. Ami guessed she didn't find any because she slipped from her corner and stood, stiffened with dread.
"I'll take that as a yes," Ami grumbled rubbing her aching temple. "I'll have a bath and dinner prepared. Do as you wish."
Updated Endnote: Until chapter 40, any usual opening and end notes will not be present (except for this one). Just simply the chapter itself. However, the usual "review comment" will still be present (which I do anyways lol I like hearing everyone's thoughts about the story. Helps me grow as a writer). Hope you enjoy the story! Reviews are appreciated!
