"Come on," Aaron commanded, releasing her backpack handle but wrapping an arm around her shoulders so she couldn't wriggle free as easily. She struggled against him all the way to the front gate of the school to no avail. He practically tossed her into the back seat of his limo and ordered the driver to go to an address she didn't recognize. "Where are we going?" Keeley asked suddenly, anger and nerves battling for dominance inside her muddled head. "You'll see when we get there," he said before…

Keeley successfully avoided Aaron for a month by eating lunch behind a bunch of bookshelves in the library, sneaking out the back entrance of the school and going to a different subway stop, and looking over her shoulder everywhere she went. Her friends were worried when she stopped showing up at lunch but she told them that she needed to spend more time studying and would hang out with them on the weekends, which appeased them. Grades were no joke to scholarship students. Literature class was a…

When school ended for the day, Keeley was about to head towards the subway station as usual. She had to take three connecting trains and walk another six blocks to get to and from school every day. Her dad hadn't been happy about this at first—he was overprotective since her mother and brother passed away in a mugging gone wrong when she was younger—but Keeley insisted that he needed to go to work and that everybody went to school like that. He relented when she promised to check in with him…

"Keeley, I think that guy is staring at you," Lydia said uncomfortably around a bite of her sandwich. "What gu—" Keeley's blood ran cold. Sure enough, Aaron was staring at her. What was he doing? He had a lunch tray outside the cafeteria! It was against the rules and he always followed the rules because they supported the system that built his family up. At one point early on he tried to convince her that they existed for the sole reason of keeping unworthy people in check. "Who is that?"…

Keeley forgot something very important in her quest to avoid Aaron Hale: when they crossed paths in the first place. The first time she saw him was at a basketball game. Their eyes met briefly and she blushed and scurried away to where her friends were sitting in the stands. She had never seen someone so handsome before—or so cold. The moment their eyes locked was like staring into a dark blue abyss. She was curious about those eyes but didn't notice them again until the seating chart was redone…

After Aaron was reborn, Keeley was different for some reason. She wasn't the little ball of sunshine that chased after him anymore. Most people fell into one of two categories: people who wanted something from him and people who feared him. She had been the only one that didn't fall under either but now… He refused to give up his chance at happiness this time around. "Run, girl, if you can...but I won't let you because you belong to me no matter what..." === Keeley Hale stood her ground…

When I got outside of the ship, Xelios woke up in my arms. She smiled up at me, leaned down, and shared a passionate kiss before putting her down. "Ready to go back and see the others?" I asked after kissing her again. "Yeah, it will be nice to see the others again, and I am sure that everyone else will be excited to see you!" Xelios said with a smile as I stepped away from her. "Okay, I am going to start changing into the tilt-rotor plane, so step back," I said walking over to an open area. I engaged…-

"So, then Haruna tell me about what happened to you to get sent out to that island. This must have something to do with the Game Master, or it was just by chance that I ended up on the one island that she was on," I said. Mostly everyone had finished eating and now there were only a few of us at the table. Titania, Xelios, Jenna, Violet, and Haruna, the rest didn't need to hear this, but I wanted to get the opinions of the women at the table about what we were going to hear. "I was born as a princess of…

I wanted to hear Haruna's story, but I needed to check everyone on the ship. I noticed immediately who was missing, and it gave me chills to think what that meant. I had taken one of the black spikes out of Kyla's feet and the old man, Gerald was missing. That could only mean that he was the one that had planted them in everyone. That was a worrisome thought, and that made me start to panic, I started to look over the group, but I found Trinity's sandy orc form. That was a relief, I was going to…

"Do you know what is wrong with them?" I asked as Arrentia looked the three of them over. "Nothing that I can see so far. It just looks like they are asleep, and they have no wounds," Arrentia said, stepping back from then girls. "Let me scan them. I will talk over your body to do an examination of the girls," Eva said over my intercom, startling Arrentia. "Yes, sorry, Eva is going to take over my body, so if I talk to you it will be from a speaker. Okay, now my voice should sound a bit different," I…
