Part 28- The Coward is up!

Excerpt:

    “Well I hate her for it!” Ash shouts and suddenly I’m not frozen anymore. The dagger has been shoved deeper, straight into my heart but my muscles are free.

    My chest starts heaving and I can’t stop it. I can’t stop the strangled breaths from crawling past my lips. Rowan says something back but I can’t hear over the blood coursing through my ears. The next thing I know, I’m in a dark room, a closet I think, curled up in a corner, sitting perfectly still in order to hold back the sobs that are threatening to give way. I can’t let Ash see me in this pitiful state. He can’t know I’m here.

    My mind doesn’t stop racing until a sliver of light falls over my face. He doesn’t say anything as he sits down next to me. We sit in silence until he reaches a hand out in the darkness to cover my own.

    “I’m a coward.” I whisper, pulling my hand from his.

Here’s a special treat for all of my lovely and loyal readers- two parts in two days!

Part 27- Deja Vu

         Heelia is saying something about a recent lack luster performance despite initial high hopes for the girl. Of course she had a bad performance- after what some Capitol man did to her. Fools. I want to scream at the television but all the rest of the report is lost to me when a face I thought I would never see again is staring out at me, smiling as the young girl hangs from his arm. The one face I wished never to look at again. He looks exactly the same- even now- handsome by the Capitol’s sick standards and arrogant and fake. A liar.

          The air rushes from my lungs as though Milo himself reached through the television screen and punched me in the stomach.

So I just posted a little oneshot full of mini plots from the other characters in TGD7. It’s called Five Distinctions of Camellia Goldenlarch and it was written in celebration of the 100,000 word mark. You can read it here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8119918/1/

I’m still working on the next chapter to TGD7 but hopefully it should be up in the next few days. So in the meantime, enjoy the oneshot :)

TGD7 Part 25- Can’t Go Back Now is up!

Excerpt:

    I clap a hand quickly over his eyes as he walks through the door. He lets out a yelp and grabs my wrist so tightly it hurts- I’ve scared him.

    “Don’t open your eyes.” I say quickly before he can pull my hand away.

    “Wh- Camellia? Why not?” He asks, eyebrows scrunching together but he doesn’t try to pull my hand away again.

    “Who else would be in your house?” I joke, trying to contain the excitement in my voice, “It’s a surprise.”

    “I hate surprises.” He grumbles.

Just another post letting everyone know:

Part 23- Unfortunate Mistakes is up!

Excerpt: 

    “Why do you do it? It must hurt.” She whispers so quietly I almost don’t hear her.

    I look at her in the mirror for a moment, watching her face. She looks sad, an emotion I’ve never seen cross her face before. The fact that she’s even asking me this question is enough to render me speechless since I never thought she was capable of such depth but the look on her face alone would have been enough to silence me anyway.

    “I- it’s just- complicated.” I stutter, never looking away from her gaze in the mirror.

Also! If anyone has any suggestions of a special chapter/oneshot/alternate POV they would like to see written in celebration for passing the 100,000 word mark, let me know! I really do want to do something special for all my wonderfully loyal readers :)

Part 22 Snow and Roses is posted!

Excerpt: 

“They’re lovely, no?” A cool, measured voice asks from over my shoulder.

I turn and freeze when my eyes fall on the older man with white hair and sinister looking lips that are curved into a smile that chills my blood.

“President Snow.” I state in shock.

Well once again tumblr tags aren’t working. Surprise, surprise.

But Part 21- Neon Lights is up. The link is available on the previous post so please head over there if you need it!

Excerpt: 

             One person steps up to me closer than all the rest. I look up, squinting into the lights and his eyes are glowing green under his dark hair. I smile and he flashes his teeth back at me.

            “Hello, Camellia.” He says softly but somehow I can just hear him above the music. He reaches a hand up to my face just like he always used to. His other hand wraps around my waist, pulling me closer to move my body with his in sync with the music.

            “Linden.” I whisper, reaching up to brush a hand through his hair.
