RECAP (Because it has been forever and a day since I have updated):
Darcy and Elizabeth made their way to the Capitol. They all met as a group and started to make a plan for the upcoming Mage Battle. Elizabeth was reunited with her sisters and moved into their new home in the Capitol. Elizabeth met Georgianna for the first time.
Chapter 15
Darcy
Matlock House
"By god man, you are getting soft. Was that lightning strike meant to actually harm me?" Fitz taunted as we faced each other in Mage Battle stances.
I shook my head at Fitz, trying hard not to laugh at his taunting. He is a powerful experienced Mage, but he tends to be a lot more talk than action while training.
"Oh lay off him Richard, he clearly has been quite distracted as of late." Charles said, smiling widely.
I tried my hardest to ignore them and not think about non-said distraction. I didn't see Elizabeth at all yesterday and every hour that slipped by felt like forever. Also my Soulmark seemed to ache with every prolonged second not in her company.
I let out a heavy sigh when a whirlwind almost fully knocked me over. I righted myself, raised a stern eyebrow and glared at Fitz.
The others chuckled at my expense. Fitz only revelled in this rare moment where he had bested me.
"So Darcy, how is the great Miss Elizabeth these days? Has she finally agreed to marry you?" Sabastian said while sitting off to the side taking a breather from his training with Charles.
"She never disagreed. She just needed more time." I said not only informing them, but reminding myself as well. At the same time I let out a fireball and aimed it at Fitz. It got the corner of his boot before Fitz had it extinguished. I smiled at my triumph in just getting a tiny piece of him today. They were completely correct, I was beyond distracted and barely could conjure up any counter strikes.
"Welcome back Darce, finally got your head into the game!" Fitz roared with laughter and a bright teasing smile.
"Can you blame Miss Elizabeth for not agreeing at that moment? At that time you had only known each other a few days, and she had so many things happening in her life. How the woman has not gone full out mental amazes me." Charles threw his hands up to prove his point.
I bobbed my head. Agreeing with Charles fully. She has been completely overwhelmed. But I think she might be more open to the idea now.
"Speaking of the Bennet sisters, how are things going between you and Miss Bennet, Charlie?" Fitz asked while hovering over us trying to surprise attack me. The only surprise that was felt was when I knocked him out of the air onto his bottom before he could try anything. We all let out a loud laugh as Fitz patted his now sore bottom.
Charles sighed like a love sick puppy before he could even get the words out. "Oh she is beyond perfect. She is truly the most amazing creature I have ever beheld."
I chuckled at his dazed expression. Normally I would wonder how soon this flavor would be over and onto the next. But anyone could see that Charles is head over heels in love with Jane. Not just the superficial kind like normal for him, but that he truly loves her.
"Have you asked to court her? How does that work exactly when they have no male relative close by." Sabastian asked while rubbing his neck in thought, trying to hide his own curiosity.
"They do have their Uncle Gardiner. Him and his family live in the Capitol." I said, mentally chastising myself for not speaking to him for Elizabeths hand when we saw him at the Professors. My thoughts were so distracted with everything else.
"Uncle Gardiner? Their aunt and uncle are Edward and Madeline Gardiner?" Fitz said shocked, mirroring the other mens faces.
I nodded my head.
"I am surprised Mar- I mean Miss Mary hasn't mentioned it to me." Sabastian said trying to quickly cover his impropriety.
Everyone knows I have given up fully on proper names, since Elizabeth and I are basically engaged.
"No offense brother, but Miss Mary doesn't seem like a big talker." The glare Sabastian gave Fitz was downright terrifying and hilarious at the same time.
"She talks quite a bit to people who have brains. I guess you just didn't make the cut little brother." Sabastian patted Fitz's head a few times and everyone laughed loudly. Fitz just rolled his eyes in response, but couldn't help but laugh along.
"So we have discussed the rest of us and are Bennet sister of choice, how is the lively Miss Lydia?" Charles asked Fitz with a smirk.
Fitz's small amount of annoyance disappeared as he thought of Lydia. "Oh that girl is pure fire and excitement. Never a dull moment with her. I've never met a Mage like her and all boxed up in the most beautiful small package." He said while his face took on a wistful look. Another moment I for sure would not dare to tap into his thoughts.
We laughed once again at him and tried to do our best to get some more practice in before we had to head our separate ways.
Lydia
Capitol Markets
"Training! Training! Training! Lord, I am so bored!" I said with a frustrated breath.
"At least you enjoy working with your gift. I know I am a healer and that is important. But if I hear another healing spell I am going to fall out of my chair dead asleep. It's so hard to keep my eyes open." Kitty said as we walked arm and arm with Georgiana around the Capitol markets.
"I would give anything to be able to do any kind of lessons or training. I am supposed to be a part of the upcoming battle but I feel completely unprepared. William and Richard have taught me some things, but more than anything they have protected me. I just feel useless." Georgiana said with a sigh.
I give her arm a squeeze. I am thankful not to have such bossy older brothers. Ok she only has one older brother, but her cousins treat her like another little sister. To have so many strong Mages around who don't let you do anything would be so frustrating.
We walked around the bend and saw the colorful market stalls lining the path. I had never seen such displays of Mage power in this way before. In Hertfordshire no one's Mage powers came close to my own family's. Seeing so many gifts out in full display was completely enchanting. Different objects floated around us and tempted us to buy everything we saw.
It was a miracle that we were able to convince the Colonel and Mr. Darcy to let us go out on our own. We had Mr. Denny though, a lieutenant in the army to follow us around. He had been stationed for our protection whenever we walked outside the house. He's a nice chap, I have yet to see his combat skills. But I have a feeling if something was to happen I would end up being the main protector, not him.
"Oh let's stop in the Mercantile Shop. I want to start looking for ribbons for the ball!" Kitty said excitedly and I quickly joined in with giggles of excitement.
"Oh yes the ball I had almost forgotten about it with all the seriousness we have been dealing with these days." I said with a roll of my eyes. Not trying to hide my annoyance with all the preparation we have been going through.
"Shall we truly have a ball? I wasn't sure if Mr. Bingley was serious about that." Georgianna said getting excited about the idea as well.
"He said that we could name the day, once the battle was over. I am sure by that time everyone will desperately need something to lift our spirits." Kitty said and we all nodded in agreement. "Do you think your brother will let you attend Georgianna?"
She looked at us with a slight smile and a hopeful look in her eyes. "I truly hope so." I then noticed her lips turned up on one side and a teasing look appear on her face. "But I'll be honest I am hoping Lizzy will be able to convince him to let me go, if he decides otherwise." We all squeal with laughter and agree that is the best plan.
"Yes indeed Georgianna! For sure Lizzy will want you there. You now have a fun sister on your side." I said excitedly.
"She sometimes thinks she's another parent to us, but for the most part she is loving, teasing and fun." Kitty got a sad look on her face all of a sudden. "I'll be honest I am a little jealous you will get to spend all your days with her and we won't see her as much." Kit said as the thought attacked all of our good moods.
"Oh but we are often staying in the Capitol. There has not been many days that have passed that we have gotten to see each other since we met. I am sure it will be the same for Lizzy when she and William are wed. And when we are away at Pemberley, I am sure we will often have you come for long visits." Georgiana said with a bright smile.
Kitty nodded in excitement instantly loving the idea of staying in a grand place like Pemberley.
"And how far exactly is Matlock estate from Pemberley?" I asked Georgiana with a smirk.
She laughed and shook her head at my silliness. "Not too far indeed. Only a couple hours. And why might you ask such a question?" Georgiana said with an eyebrow raised and a hint of a smile trying to take over her face.
"Oh, just curious." I said trying to act nonchalant.
The three of us laughed loudly causing the other customers to give us wide disapproving looks. Which of course just makes us laugh harder.
Suddenly a voice filled my thoughts and I realized I was being contacted by someone I didn't know.
Miss Lydia, I would like to inform you I will be your counterpart for the battle. You can trust me to get you where you need to be swiftly.
The man's voice was so soothing and comforting. It was intoxicating. I instantly wanted to know more of this man.
I thank you greatly sir for your assistance. May I ask your name sir?
You can call me George.
Sir, that's quite informal of you since we have yet to meet… in person?
I heard his warm deep laughter fill me from my head to my toe. It was hypnotic. I wanted to hear it for the rest of my life.
Any chance we possibly could meet before then? I'd hate to think you were my enemy when the battle started and set a fireball on you.
I said teasingly. Praying he knows I am all jest. I would be devastated if I didn't hear from this man again.
He laughed once again, I swear I could almost see his gorgeous face. The one I knew he had to have.
"Lydi? Are you ok? You look so far away?" I snap my thoughts back to Kit and Georgiana. They both stared at me with large concerned eyes. But I can't think of that at all.
My only thought was George and it consumed me.
Fitz
Darcy House
My knee bounced up and down wildly as I sat in Darce's study at Darcy house. I stared deep into the strong drink in my hand. I stared at it so hard it began to swirl and sloshed out of my drink and onto the floor by my boot.
Every second that goes by that I don't hear from her, it puts me more and more on edge. It's been over 48 hours since I've heard from Lydia.
And it's driving me insane.
Since the day we met, we have been in constant communication with one another.
I keep wracking my brain for what I might have done to upset her.
The last time I saw her was two nights ago. My mother had invited the Bennet sisters for dinner. Darce and Georgie were invited as well of course.
Just like normal we had gravitated towards each other. Like a moth to the flame with that one. Everything seemed to go well. We laughed and let out a little harmless flirting. Just like normal. I even took a second with her as we said goodnight to tell her she looked beautiful. Like normal her face lit up and she made some sassy comment right back about how nice I looked too. Both comments would get us highly chastised. But that's one of the reasons I'm so drawn to her. I love her spunk. Her fire. That mischievous twinkle in her eye. Her loyalty and want to protect her family at all costs.
And now somehow I have messed it all up. I know if she was missing we would have heard from one of her sisters. No doubt Elizabeth would let Darce know. I have tried to contact her multiple times and each time there is nothing. Like she has put up a block against me.
Before I knew it my dang knee was at it once again, about to bounce out of my skin. I placed one hand over my crazy knee and took a long sip from my drink.
"Fitz did you hear me?" Darce said snapping me out of my frustration.
I looked up at him, concern written all over his face.
"No I'm sorry Darce, a little lost in thought." I said taking a deep breath and trying to mentally shake these thoughts.
I noticed then what Darce was looking at so intently on his desk. He had his mothers ring with a projection spell on it. The image of his mothers ring was portrayed over the desk. Making it look like a huge ghost of the ring that hovered on top of the desk. As Darce inspected the ring, the ghostly image turned in all different ways. He stopped his hand on the very top of the large image of the ring, balled his hand into a fist, then quickly undid it. Flattening his palm out and stretching his fingers wide. As he did this the hovering image focused in on only the top and the charm that was buried deep in the ring. It was a perfect replica of the leaf Soulmark that was my Aunt and Uncles.
"I said, do you think I should leave the charm as it was with my mother or should I change it to our tree?" Darce said while continuing to inspect the ring fully. Spinning the image every way possible focusing on every single part of the ring. I couldn't help the smile and shook my head as I watched his meticulous inspection. His intense devotion to everything that he touched was always over the top. But it's what made him such a powerful and sought after Mage. It is quickly becoming clear that his normal over the top self, is tripled when it comes to anything to do with Elizabeth Bennet.
"Hmmm, I think you should leave it up to Miss Elizabeth. She seems like the kind of woman who would appreciate you leaving it up to her. Either way, leaf or tree it will have a connection to your bond as Soulmates." Darcy's aura shined bright while my words sank in. It was clear he was in agreement. A large breath escaped him and a nod followed. He must have been holding it in for a while. I suddenly felt bad for my previous distraction. Keeping him on edge for so long.
My thoughts drifted back once again to Lydia. I tried connecting with her once again. I've only tried about 50 times these past two days.
Miss Lydia, are you well today?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
My frustration sizzled on my skin once again.
Darce must have noticed and suddenly looked up at me in concern once again.
He was just about to open his mouth when Georgie bounced through the study door with a wide smile on her face. She went directly to Darce and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, then quickly bounced over to me and granted me with the same.
We both stared wide eyed in amazement.
Who was this girl? What happened to our timid little Georgie who hardly spoke over a whisper? We haven't see this version of her in months. Not since… that man almost ruined everything.
"Would you boys like to have some tea with me?" She looked towards Darce and then at my still full drink in my hands. She gave her head a small shake and raised one eyebrow at me. Knowing full well that it was way too early in the day for me to be drinking.
We both agreed and Georgie ordered the tea tray from Jeeves, the butler by the door.
As soon as Jeeves set the tray down Georgie held her hand over it. The tea pot started pouring into each cup on its own. Cream, sugar and a swirl of the spoon to follow. Making each of our cups to our own preferences to perfection. She's perfected these types of Mage gifts so seamlessly, It always makes me smile to watch. If I tried we would all be burned in seconds by the hot water splashing all over us. I'm happy to just watch and notice once again how happy she is now.
"Georgie, it's so good to see you so happy." Darce stated my very thoughts out loud. She smiled brightly at him.
"Honestly it's the Bennet sisters. I enjoy them so much." Georgie said with a laugh and sipped her tea.
Darce is all smiles watching Georgie beam with delight.
"Did you enjoy shopping with Miss Lydia and Miss Kitty the other day?" I asked as casually as possible. Hoping she doesn't hear my intense interest.
Georgie smiled and quickly nodded. "Most definitely. It's been so long since I've been to the markets and watching Kitty and Lydia experience it for the first time was so exciting."
"So you believe they enjoyed themselves as well?" I asked more cautiously than I meant to let loose. But my patience is thinning.
Georgie smiled in agreement, but tilted her head a little in confusion from the strain of my voice. "Yes, they seemed to enjoy it greatly. We had so much fun, as we always do."
Before I can stop it a low growl of frustration escaped my lips.
I could feel both of my cousins eyes on me in concern.
"Are you well cousin?" Georgie asked me. Setting down her tea cup and taking in my full presence.
I can no longer beat around the bush. "Georgie have you seen Miss Lydia since your shopping trip or talked to her at all?"
She pondered for a second then shook her head. "No, I haven't. They have been too busy with training and classes." She hesitated for a second but then continued. "Is something wrong with Lydia? Have you heard something?" Fear is written all over her face.
I let out a big breath and rushed forward. Knowing there is no way out of this conversation now. "I have not heard from her since then as well and I was just wondering if something had come up."
Georgie let out a small breath she was holding. "Well there was a moment while we were in the mercantiles shop looking at ribbons where Lydia seemed out of it for a bit. But she seemed to snap back after that to her normal self."
"Interesting…" I mumbled out. Thousands of worries filled my head. Any a matter of things could have happened to her. She could have been stunned. She could have had a vision… though I've never heard she had that capability. But sometimes gifts will come without you even being aware of having them. She also could have been spelled, which terrified me.
"Have you spoken to any of the Bennet sisters since then? Has anyone mentioned Lydia acting strange?" Darce asked Georgie leaning over his desk intently.
She pondered the question for a moment. "When I saw Lizzy this morning, she didn't mention anything strange. As far as I know all is well with them."
I nodded. Calmed slightly by that thought. If something was wrong with Lydia, Lizzy would have said something.
"Georgie!" Darce said her name slow and drawn out, through gritted teeth.
She squirmed like a little girl on her seat as her brother glared at her.
"When did you leave this morning? We never discussed you leaving this morning. And I know Elizabeth has not been here, I would have felt her." Darce said matter of factly. He continued to glare unflinchingly at her. "Georgiana Darcy if you don't tell me in the next minute, I will use a truth spell on you!"
I can't help the snicker that came out. Of course getting my own glare from Darce in response.
"You might as well just tell him Georgie. He will get it out from you no matter what. Look at that glare, if it gets any harder we're going to have an earthquake in this room." I said while smirking at Georgie, not daring to look back at Darce. Knowing full well what I would see.
Georgie took an exhausted breath then rushed her story out without taking a breath. "I needed some fresh air, so I decided to fly. Which before you scold me, I had my invisible shield spell on. But while I was flying I saw Lizzy, so I flew with her for a while." She took a huge breath when she was done. She stared down at her tea cup, bracing herself for Darces reaction. I loved the man, but he had a hard time controlling his Mage powers when he was angry.
I shook my head and covered my chuckle with my teacup. Trying hard not to get between the siblings.
"Well now I'm not only upset with you for leaving without telling me, now you are telling me that my beloved Elizabeth has been flying around for anyone to see her, unprotected!" He cradled his head in his hands, took a breath, then raked his hands through his hair. Trying desperately to calm his frustration.
I looked over at Georgie who had become pale, knowing that she had told on her friend. I leaned over and squeezed her hand that still rested on her tea cup. When she looked up at me, I winked at her.
"No fears Georgie. We all know Darce will calm down and Elizabeth will put him in his place. It's her specialty." At that moment we heard Darce let out a small huff and not too long after a contented sigh. "By the look on his blank face as he stares at the wall, I'm guessing he contacted Elizabeth and is getting put in his place as we speak." Georgie giggled in agreement. We watched as Darce goes from irate to lovesick in a matter of seconds.
That look brings me back to Lydia once again and I let out a long breath of frustration.
"Richard, are you ok? What's going on?" Georgie asked with deep concern in her eyes.
My heart slows, unsure of what to say, but I know I can no longer go on like I have. I just know something is not right.
"I am sure it's no surprise to you that I am very fond of Miss Lydia…"
Darcy scoffs interrupting my speech. Apparently done speaking with Elizabeth.
I ignored him and carried on. "I haven't made any promises or declarations towards her, I plan not to do so until she is 18. But we have a connection and have become good friends. We often talk to each other throughout the day. Ever since the three of you went to the Markets the other day I haven't heard from her at all. It's like she put up a mental block and decided to cut me out. I have no clue what I have done. Especially since it seems all is well with her." I let out a sigh and stared at my boots. Not wanting to give anymore emotion to my cousins then I have already leaked out.
I felt Georgie put a hand on my arm in comfort. "I'm sorry Richard, I haven't heard anything negative from her about you. I can't imagine she would be cross with you."
"Perhaps I can ask Elizabeth to see if she can see if something is wrong? I am sure she can get it out of her." Darce said softly. I could feel his want to help in his words.
I nodded and decided I was done sitting here in frustration. If something was amiss, I had to go to the source and ask.
Elizabeth
Bennet House
Elizabeth, were you flying in full sight this morning?
I rolled my eyes and couldn't help laughing at his chiseled tone. I had a feeling I would get a "talking to" from Darcy after seeing Georgie this morning.
Mr. Darcy you are well aware that I can not be held up inside like a prisoner all day long! I have to be outside. I have to feel the fresh air on my skin. I desperately needed to stretch my wings and fly. And if you must know, I DID have an invisible shield spell on me- but I let it drop when I spotted Georgie. Who also had on her invisibility shield, but I could feel her aura and knew it was her. So don't accuse me of something you don't know all the facts of. Yes, there were a few minutes when we dropped our shields- but within seconds we had them back up around us both so we could enjoy each other.
Elizabeth… I just can't fathom someone finding you and taking you from me.
Darcy said in almost a whisper. Causing my own anger to calm. I have to remind myself he's not being overprotective for no reason. There is a real serious threat out there.
I let out a huff but I know he's right. Even putting ourselves visible for a couple minutes could have been life threatening.
You are right I should have been more careful, I just was excited to see her and surprised you let her out by herself. But now that I am thinking it through, I'm guessing she wasn't supposed to be out there.
No, she was not. But thankfully all was well. I am glad you both got to spend time together.
Me too. We had a lovely time. She is so sweet and caring. I can't wait to get to know her more.
I felt his aura brighten and almost could picture his warm smile.
Are you still able to come over for dinner tonight?
I could hear the hesitation in his voice. Which made me wonder why he was nervous.
Of course! I wouldn't miss it! Now it's just the three of us correct? Do I need to dress formal or just a normal dress?
I could hear his laughter echo in my mind and wondered what exactly had made him laugh that hard.
Georgie just asked me the same question. I say wear whatever makes you happy. I will think you look beautiful no matter what.
His super sweet words surprised me so much my face turned red and I took a quick inhale that made me cough. Causing all my lovely sisters who are in the sitting room surrounding me to look up at me in shock.
"What on earth Lizzy? Are you ok?" Jane is immediately by my side, eyes full of concern.
I let out a loud laugh. Waving her off and all their concerns. "Just a silly boy." They all roll their eyes at me well aware of our antics.
What surprised me though, is Lydia doesn't make a snarky comment. Normally she would be the first to point out exactly why I had gotten so red. But nothing. I looked at her as she stared longingly out the window. She seemed to be in a far off world.
I wonder if things between the Colonel and Lydia have become more serious than I thought. Which surprised me, I got the impression from the Colonel that whatever was between them he was taking very slowly. Which Jane and I were thankful for. We love Lydia, but she's still young. She needs a little more time before she settles down.
Elizabeth, have you noticed anything off with Miss Lydia the last few days?
Darcy's words fill my thoughts. Causing me to gasp once again.
Darcy please tell me you were not reading my thoughts just now? We promised we would not do that to each other.
Of course not! I would never do that to you. But that does make me wonder, have you been thinking something was going on with Miss Lydia?
Yes, seconds before you contacted me. I was just thinking that she was not her normal self. Why do you ask?
Fitz mentioned that he hasn't heard from her in a couple days. He was concerned.
I glanced at Lydia once again. Her place still firmly locked looking out the window.
Hmm that does seem a little strange. Let me see what I can find out and I will let you know.
Thank you. Um.. earlier when I made the comment about your attire, you never said anything back. Did I overstep?
I felt the concern in his voice, and shook my head at his nervousness. Always amazed to see that side of the great Fitzwilliam Darcy.
Not at all. It made me blush and smile so big it caused my sisters to wonder what was wrong with me. Which distracted me and I forgot to comment back. Thank you for your sweet words.
Always. See you tonight my love.
I let out a small sigh, sometimes it hits me out of nowhere how crazy it is that we found each other and even crazier that our hearts were open to it. Well that my heart is now open to it.
I shook my head and focused on Lydia. Time to find out what is going on.
Jane, have you noticed Lydia acting not like herself?
Jane looked up at me from across the room, with her head cocked to the side in confusion. Then glanced at Lydia. Taking in her entire aura looking at it all indepthly.
There does seem to be something off. I'm not sure. I think it's time for tea.
I smiled widely at Jane in understanding.
If anything we can always drop some Truth Potion in her tea. I smirked at Jane.
Her eyes widened. Elizabeth Bennet! You wouldn't! We could never do such a thing to our sister.
I shrugged my shoulders. I know Mary has some in her room, it wouldn't be hard at all.
Absolutely not! Let's just talk to her first before we decide on such drastic tactics.
If you say so Jane. I rolled my eyes and jumped up to go and talk to our cook. Requesting Lydia's favorite strawberry scones to go with our tea.
I entered back into the parlor a few minutes later. Sarah followed me in with the tea tray and a plate of biscuits and scones.
"Lydi, come have some tea. Cook made your favorite strawberry scones." Jane said sweetly in a tone no one could say no to.
"That's ok. Thank you though. I think I'm going to lie down for a bit." Lydia said quietly while quickly leaving the room.
We all glanced at each other, confusion written all over our faces. Never knowing Lydia to pass up food of any kind.
"Kitty, have you noticed Lydia acting weird lately?" If anyone would knows what's going on with her it would be Kitty.
"Sort of, she has been strange ever since we came back from going to the markets with Georgie." Kitty said while taking a bite of one of the tasty strawberry scones.
"Did something happen while you were shopping?" Jane asked Kitty while trying to calm her own nerves that were beginning to rise.
Kitty pondered the question for a second. "Well there was one moment where she seemed out of it. Like she was dazed for a minute. I had to call her name a few times to snap her out of it. I guess it has been since then that she has been weird now that I think about it."
Well that seems strange for sure.
Jane and I shared a look of worry, but before we could comment Kitty had changed the conversation to some ribbons she had found at the shop and how perfect they matched her dress. I could tell it was time to drop the conversation.
I could feel in my bones something was not right. Maybe I could find time later to speak with Lydia on her own. Hopefully she will be open to sharing her thoughts. I desperately don't want to invade my sister's mind without her permission. But if things go on any longer like this, I don't think I will be able to stop myself.
"Now it's time to get you ready for your special dinner with the Darcy's." Jane said mischievously. Cutting me out of my dark thoughts.
Rubbing her hands together in excitement Jane looked like a crazed wizard. She turned to Kitty who equally looked more than pleased to get me ready.
Oh Merlin's beard! Hopefully Darcy will still recognize me when I see him tonight!
Author's Note
Let me tell you friends, I have never been so stuck as I have been on this ending. We're not quite to the ending yet, but figuring it all out took a whole lot of tries. I probably re-wrote these two chapters that I am posting today about 20 times. Because I kept hitting a block, I took some time away from writing and decided to just read for a while. I got heavy into some Fantasy and Paranormal worlds. So much so that I started writing a new Modern Paranormal P & P story that I am pretty stoked about. But I won't be posting that story till I put my big girl panties on and finish this story! Because it deserves it. As do all of you lovely readers. Thank you for sticking with me and I hope you enjoy!
