That she had gained this and lost it again, and still couldn’t find the reason why, made it hard for Belle to finish the sentence. But she owed him that much.

“Adam, for a moment you were human again.”As soon as Belle began talking, Adam's frame grew still. His heart was pounding hard inside his chest as she warned him to let her finish. When his ( Read more... )

It had taken far too long for Adam to finally snap out of his apathetic state, but when he did, the fear, confusion, and anger had hit him with colossal force. There were too many unanswered questions about that night. His memory remained fragmented and the few things he could recall filled him with terrible dread. He couldn't stand it any longer.

Drawn to the rhythmic beat as was their nature, the mass of the black ones hastened after the monster. Some crawled. Some ran. And some leapt towards him in waves. Several at a time were knocked away with single ( Read more... )

At the prospect of finally returning to his own castle, Adam was practically galloping down the hallways of Hollow Bastion to get to the gummi docks. Having already caused plenty of scenes, he resigned himself to a brisk walk. For the first time in months, his heart felt lighter. Even if he and Belle only took a couple weeks for themselves, it ( Read more... )
