Lettice turned her head when she heard Hircine’s voice before gently shaking her head. They had been on the road for about two months now and she could only say that her only friend was Hircine. He was the only person on the bus she actually liked and who honestly treated her like a person. The rest of the band members treated her like a maid. She carried their stuff and cleaned after them and while she never complained because they were letting her travel the U.S with them, she also would appreciate a thank you now and again.

“No...I’m good. I punched him so he probably won’t be bothering me again.” She shrugged, gesturing to the man who had been hitting on her for her number, noting how he was trying to not wince whenever he blinked. She didn’t think she hit him that hard but...who’s to say?

Since she was a little girl, Elayne knew that her marriage wouldn't be one of love. She always knew that her hand would be used as a bargaining chip and she shouldn’t set herself up on the idea that she would marry a man that she could love. It made her sad, yes. She read romance novels and dreamed of having a love similar to that. Thats all she had ever wanted...but she also thought that her marriage would be to a prince, a man with a future kingdom to rule.

So when she was told that she was going to be married off to a ruthless viking, in hopes he would help protect their lands, she almost fainted.

Here Elayne was, only two days since receiving that piece of news. They had dressed her in a new red dress, even made her put her tiara on. But she wasn’t smiling. Sure, she knew that this day would happen but she wasn’t expecting to marry a viking who couldn’t even speak to her and probably smelled of fish and mud. She was a princess after all, why did she had to endure this. She kept her head down, sighing as the doors of the Main Hall were opened. 

Alexis had been living in Trapper Creek for only a month now. It was definitely a huge change for the New York City, born and raised, woman; however, she had always loved nature. Her new home, a secluded cabin about two miles from civilization, was something she had always wanted.

Fresh out of college with her PhD in Forensic Psychology, the young woman intended on becoming a true crime writer. She already had deals with a blog and a few magazine companies. Her life was set. However, her new home was quite a fixer upper. Alexis had made a few friends in town already, being the friendly person she was; and probably because of her looks. They told her about a man named Adam Hale who was a carpenter.

One of the locals gave her his address and gave her directions. Before long, Alexis found herself at the front door of the even more secluded cabin of Adam Hale. She was a bit sheepish about bothering the man, but the locals informed her he was a damn hard worker and always got the job done right. So, she had no other choice.

Taking a deep breath, the young woman knocked on the door of the cabin and looked around. The scenery was beautiful and she couldn't help but smile. Towering pine trees and old foliage littered the surrounding area, camouflaging the cabin nestled inside. After a few moments, she knocked again and waited.

Being a cat boy meant a life of servitude, but he'd been raised to be the perfect little slave. Growing up, he was know as number six, after the amount of kittens that his mother had birthed in her years, and he wouldn't receive a proper name till his master purchased him. He was a very good little cat, doing everything his master (and probable father) told him too. In fact he was so good that his master decided to sell him off early, especially since he knew a rich man who would prefer a younger specimen.

“Shut up~” Finn was beset with giggles, tipping his head away from Thorn as his lover hovered over him with his phone recording. The smaller of the two was already tied down in their bed, his wrists together above his head and bound to the headboard, a spreader bar between his knees. “If anybody sees this, I will kill you.”

Now this...this was different. Honey looked above her head again, staring at the mistletoe that had betrayed her. She had hung it up when she found it in the garage because...well, she thought it would be a funny joke! Something that Honey would laugh at if she found Judah standing under it. But she should have known that Judah wasn’t magically in the festive spirit, that wasn’t the reason why he suddenly had mistletoe. He had mistletoe because it was enchanted and he was going to get rid of it.

That was until Honey had hung it up and forgot about it until they both stumbled under it when they were finished with dinner. They were stuck underneath it until they kissed it seemed. She had tried to escape and Judah had too but it was no use.

Mildred sighed as she drank her tea. Apparently, she was being left alone today. There was no classes to attend and Cordelia was showing some new kids around Narnia. Apparently, children from the ‘Isle Of The Lost’ were being brought over? She didn’t understand what that really meant but she knew it meant that most people were on high alert. Thomas had even been dragged down to do some training. Which left her sitting here in Cair Paravel, watching the ocean as she read books and drank tea. It could be worse...but it could be better. She was really trying, trying to understand Narnia better but she still couldn’t grasp onto the idea that it wasn’t all just a story that Thomas and her Aunt Lucy told her.

Rose always pondered over who her soulmate would be. Not because she thought she needed one but because the timer that slowly clicked down on her wrist was taunting. It was the only thing she didn’t understand. Not every witch or wizard had one and she was deemed one of the lucky ones, some even said that the universe was paying her parents back for their haunting teenage years by allowing their daughter to have guaranteed happiness. She didn’t really know how she felt about that.

Diagon Alley was quiet during the week separating Christmas and New Years. It was what Rose loved about it. She needed a break from her home, a break from her brother and dad. Her mother was doing some important minister work, apparently and while Rose would have rather been at the ministry, her mother told her to stay in London.

She just never said where in London.
