Eloise and Witch Blood

'I swear, I'm tried. I tried to be normal; I tried to be under the rules. I tried to follow others, follow my mom, and be ordinary. Be predictable, be safe, be like..like the others… but no, it is not working for me. I am just done; it is killing me inside, burning me.' I was looking into his eyes, knowing he would never understand me. Or Is he can? When tears were going down my eyes, I tried to take a breath, but I couldn't. I had to speak; I had to scream, but I couldn't.'I am sorry.' I said 'I am sorry. I never supposed to find you; I never supposed to love you; I never supposed to wish to live my life. Now it is time for my payment. But no worries because when I chose to live my life after leaving everybody behind, I knew this very payment day would come, and I am ready. The only thing that makes me sad is that I know they will tell me it is my fault, even though it is or not. I would choose to live my life anyway. I would rather die than live a meaningless life, not a life that I am attached to, not the life I was born for. I would rather die.'

Maybe it was totally nonsense what I said, but he hugged me like I am the only person he values in his life. He grabbed my arm like he knew how this pain burned me inside and killed me. He kissed my head as if he could take all my pain to himself, even without consideration. I cried like a baby; hours I cried without speaking. I just hugged his belly and cried like I never cried in my life till this time. He didn't say anything, not even a word. He just saw me, he just felt me. He waited for me to stop. When I stopped, he looked into my eyes; his hands were all over my face. He was looking at me like I am a creature he had never seen. 'I feel you, I see you.' He put his forehead to mine and took a deep breath, then again, he looked into my eyes. He wanted to look into my soul, and he did. 'I see you, and I swear to God, I swear to all gods, I swear to the God who created you and me and everything, I will be with you always. Anyway, I will find you and be with you. I will protect you, even from yourself, from me, and from everything that gives you this pain.'

He unsheathed his dagger and kissed one end, then turned the other toward me. 'May this metal pierce my heart, I swear, my life is your life, my soul is your soul, my body is your body. I swear to protect you everywhere, in every way, and at all times. I swear at this time and at all times, my way is your way, my place is next to you and your heart is my heart. I swear in this time and for all times, I swear to remain faithful to my oath and to you.' He kissed the cold iron and touched the opposite side of the knife to my lips. I cried again, and he hugged me again.

Eloise and Witch Blood

‘Oh..my dear Eloise’ she hugged me and continued.’I am sorry for this sudden invitation’.’No worries..but it would be better if I knew the reason’ I said before hugged her and whispered ‘I missed you Luna’. ‘I know… me too, let's go to the queen's chamber.’ Luna said.

‘What is happening Luna.I sense something is wrong’ Luna checked on Capitan Robert,who was behind but within earshot, she began speaking in a hushed and calm tone. ‘It is about the queen,she can't have an heir..  There's a plot to overthrow the king... Mercedes's patience has run out; I can't restrain her anymore.’ It felt peculiar to Eloise that Luna referred to the queen by name, but she didn't comment. 'You know, Eloise, it's been so long, but my husband hasn't returned... We knew it's possible, but we need to find him.'

Eloise And Witch Blood

Eloise felt the cold stone floor under her shoes. It was screaming the history of the place. Screams are emanating from the walls and pain is rising from the floor. They bypassed the path through the garden path and walked through the courtyard because no witch would ever set a step on that path.

What happened before this castle was the dark side of history. Unwritten, Unspoken but known. Capitan Robert watched her, when she was passing the garden, she saw the fire in her eyes. The girl heard every scream in this garden, smelled the blood and felt the pain once more. The ground seemed to pull her in, and the air was poisoning her with the stench of blood. It was suffocating and she caught Capitan Roberts’s eye. He seemed remorseful. Perhaps having an ordinary life wouldn't be so bad after all, she thought. Maybe she should heed Farh's advice more often.’Rather than burning here’ she heard the whisper. 

As she passed the garden door, she left her thoughts outside.Madam Luna stood there, radiant as ever.She shone like a moon, her blond hair akin of the stars. Her skin was so soft,The veins visible on her eyes.She smiled like a queen.If she would not be witch for sure she could be queen..I never get how a woman could be so beautiful.

Eloise and Witch Blood

'Eloise..don't worry,' Captain Robert reassured her in a smooth tone. She could tell he was also uneasy about the situation. Even though she had been here many times, this visit, unannounced, was different. She was a witch; witches knew the dangers that lurked in her kind's history. Witches know what can happen to them. What happened to them before.

"When they arrived at the castle, whispers echoed once more. 'Don't go inside, woman. It's trouble. Run. They want to kill you. Run. Run bitch. They'll force you to die. Don't go inside.' Eloise was about to enter the gate when she suddenly stopped. 'Captain, is something wrong?' The place was bustling, yet she sensed an eerie unease.

Hi! Can you give some prompts about non-sexual things about the main characters that gives the readers butterflies? And also slow burn prompts?

Hi :)

Slow burn in general is what you make of it, so I would give you my Master Prompt List and the how to write slow burn post. I bet you can come up with some great slow burn stories from that!

For your other question, here are some things that the reader could find cute about your characters:

Giving the reader butterflies with your characters

calling the other by a nickname only they use

being cute with animals

using inside jokes with each other

giving them something they are passionate about

being selfless in a moment where it’s easier to be selfish

giving them relatable flaws, that connects the reader with the character

making good-natured fun of each other

showing them in their element

giving them wit and a sense of humor

being fiercely protective

letting them rant about something they love

Hope you get inspired by this!
