little flowers started to grow on them, tiny white and pink buds on jewel-green vines that twirled around their arms, binding them even closer together.
Tori draw this
“Welcome to the Hollow,” Jacks said softly.
CRYING
Jacks ground his jaw as he stared at her. He looked angry and exasperated. He reached up, as if to run his free hand through his hair, but then he wrapped it around the back of her neck and dropped his forehead to hers.
WHAT IS HAPPENING
But she hadn’t even bitten him, nor was she going to.
YOU THOUGHT-
and the pleading, broken look in his quicksilver blue eyes.
bottom of the deck.
Deck of DESTINY, perchance????
One Bed.
The cheer I just cheered
“I’d never heard of this tree until the day a friend gave me this scroll. According to the scroll, the branches of the Tree of Souls are filled with blood, and anyone clever enough to find the tree and brave enough to drink its blood will be human no more, but immortal.”
Oh no
“There is never necessary evil, just poor choices,
“We need a room for the night.” Jacks lifted their tied wrists, covering Evangeline’s face. “I believe you’ve been expecting us. I wrote earlier this week to reserve a room for myself and my new bride.”
SCREECH
remember was how Jacks’s pulse had raced just
AGAIN WITH THE BEATING BEART
The room was a cottage dream. Everything was green and gold and pink. Flickering glass lanterns with emerald-green glass hung on either side of a bed with a headboard carved to look like a flowering tree. The coverlet on it was a soft shade of forest green and covered in pale pink petals. The petals were strewn on the wooden floor
His heart was racing again,
“I’ve been tempted on more than one occasion…” His eyes darkened as they lowered to her lips and stayed there.
TEMPTED TO KISS HER TO DEATH
pairs of doomed stars.
“Being yours does not make you mine.”
Bad Jacks. Bad.
But Evangeline held tight. She fought against the sleep overtaking her as she said, “I don’t believe you, Jacks. I might not remember everything about you. But I know you. I know that I know you, and I don’t believe there is anything you can’t do.”
This close she could see his eyes were glossy red around their edges. It almost looked like … blood?
HEARTBREAK PRINCE
“This is a very bad idea,” Jacks murmured. “I would have thought you liked bad ideas.” “Only when they’re mine.”
OKAY banter. Okay.
Her fingers brushed against a slip of paper.
No no no no it's her letter to herself nooooooo
In case you forget what the Prince of Hearts has done, and you’re tempted to trust him again.
I FREAKING KNEW IT NOOOOOOO
I'm going to simply jump off of the Valory Arch to my doom
Good luck, Evangeline
Literally just feed me to Chaos at this point
The story of Evangeline and Jacks. And it was a beautiful story, her new favorite story. She hated that she’d forgotten it. That it had been lost and Apollo had tried to rewrite it, to tell her that Jacks was the villain.
Sobbing
who’d made his heart beat again.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, YOU MAKE HIS HEART RACE IN EVERY OTHER CHAPTER, EVA
Deep red blood sparkling with flecks of gold covered the entire doorknob.
Oh that's not good
She hadn’t even heard it open, but it must have. A girl dressed like a guard stood in the center of the tent, hands on her hips as she scanned the lavish space with a shrewd twist of her lips, which were painted with a sparkling gloss.
LALA
But I fear that if you try to save Jacks, you will die, too.
YEP
“I know I seem naive,” Evangeline pressed on. “I know my faith in love might appear foolish. I also know it might not be enough. But I’m not doing this because I believe I’ll win. I’m actually a little afraid I’m going to lose. I no longer think love is a guarantee of victory or of happily ever after. But I think it’s a reason to fight for those things. I know my attempt to save Jacks could end in a fiery explosion, but I’d rather go up in flames with him than watch while he burns.”
Omg 😭
“To foolish hearts and fire!
Pin it
The clearing brimmed with anticipation; it burst against her skin like sparks from a match, making her feel as if anything could happen. She’d always loved that feeling before, but now it made her as nervous as that little leaf that had just changed from green to gold.
Maybe it wasn’t her love alone that would save him. Maybe it had to be his love, too.
But it had been impossible. Jacks had been the moon and she’d been the tide, controlled by his impossible force. That much had not changed.
“Then break me, Jacks.”
Evangeline closed her eyes and then she kissed him.
“No,” she said, a little embarrassed. “I just forgot to breathe.”
Jacks had his heart. She had Jacks. They were in love. This was everything she wanted. This was happily ever after.
I dont trust you, Stephanie
This couldn’t be how their story ended.
YEAH STEPHANIE
“It’s taking you.”
YES
It was time to leave these two alone and let them have their ever after.
Other stories were brewing in the Magnificent North.
THERES MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
