For four days every month, I get an unwanted visitor. She never announces herself. Never knocks on the door. She’s only too happy to disrupt my life. I’m in no physical pain, but I’m still in pain. I will be for many years because I’m not lucky enough for her to go away early. I…

My bathroom has a mirror that I stand in front of every day. We’re about the same height, but it’s part of a cabinet, so it sits a few inches from my face. I used to pretend I could see myself in mirrors. When I put on makeup, I told people I was looking at…

Rose wraps herself around Harald, burying her face in his shoulder as hot tears stream down her face. Harald hugs her tightly against him. “Be careful,” Sebastian says. “Those tears can burn you.

Stella can’t find the assistant. She sighs, walking through the the hallways. She stops a few maids and asks for the assistant. “I saw her at the garden,” one says. “Thank you,” Stella says. Screeching and laughter catches Stella’s attention. A young shadow dragon flies up to a young woman’s shoulder. She looks around. “The…

Stella knocks on the door. “One second,” Lady Ashlin says. The door opens a moment later. The lady’s maid smiles hesitantly and gestures her in. Stella smiles back. Lady Ashlin enters the sitting room. She looks at Stella. “Who are you?” she says. “I’m Princess Eva’s lady-in-waiting,” Stella says. “I have a message for you.”…

This story was originally published last year. However, I edited and added a few things to it. It’s also part of a bigger project and I’ll be sharing stories from it when I have them. Why did Evie agree to come here? “Come on,” Kate said hours ago. “It’ll be fun.” Right. Her best friend…
