La magia dei momenti no, di Alison Espach

Trama: È una bellissima giornata a Newport, Rhode Island, quando Phoebe Stone arriva, da sola, al grand hotel Cornwall Inn sfoggiando un elegante vestito verde e scarpe dorate col tacco. Subito, nella hall, tutti la scambiano per una degli invitati che si sono raccolti nell’albergo per i festeggiamenti del matrimonio che sta per celebrarsi, ma in effetti lei è l’unica ospite dell’hotel estranea a quell’evento. Phoebe è lì perché sognava di soggiornarvi da anni, anzi sognava di farlo col marito, e adesso che lui l’ha lasciata Phoebe è arrivata al Cornwall con uno scopo ben preciso, e non esattamente in tono con l’atmosfera della festa: uccidersi. Nel frattempo la sposa ha pensato a ogni dettaglio, a ogni minimo particolare del suo matrimonio tranne che all’imprevista presenza di Phoebe…

Margot ha problemi di soldi, di Rufi Thorpe

Trama: Una ventenne studentessa californiana scopre di aspettare un bambino da Mark, suo professore all'università, sposato e con due figli. Margo decide di tenere il bimbo, nonostante tutti le ricordino che l'aspetta una vita difficile, soprattutto perché non ha un soldo. E infatti, com'è prevedibile, quando Bodhi nasce la situazione si complica: le coinquiline con cui divide l'appartamento si lamentano per le urla del piccolo, Margo non riesce a trovargli un posto all'asilo nido e il ristorante in cui lavora la licenzia. Del tutto al verde, Margo decide di sbarcare su OnlyFans ma la situazione finisce solo per intricarsi ulteriormente...
Intermezzo, di Sally Rooney
Link: https://amzn.to/4gDzszB
Trama: A parte il fatto di essere fratelli, Peter e Ivan Koubek sembrano avere poco in comune. Peter è un avvocato di Dublino sui trent’anni – affermato, abile e apparentemente irreprensibile. Ma, ora che gli è morto il padre, prende farmaci per dormire e si barcamena con fatica fra due relazioni con donne molto diverse: il primo, imperituro amore, Sylvia, e Naomi, una studentessa universitaria per cui la vita è un’unica lunga barzelletta. Ivan è un campione di scacchi ventiduenne. Si è sempre considerato uno sfigato, un paria, l’antitesi del suo disinvolto fratello maggiore. Ora, nelle prime settimane dopo la perdita del padre, incontra Margaret, una donna più grande che esce da un passato turbolento, e rapidamente e intensamente le loro vite si intrecciano.

Ma è il 1966, il mondo sta cambiando, e Frankie si ritrova all'improvviso a immaginare un futuro diverso, così, quando suo fratello parte per il Vietnam, lei decide di arruolarsi nel Corpo infermieristico dell'esercito. Inesperta come gli uomini mandati al fronte, Frankie è sopraffatta dal caos e dalla distruzione della guerra: ogni giorno è una scommessa tra la vita e la morte, tra la speranza e il tradimento.

Decide, quindi, di scappare e nascondersi nella vicina Jackson Island per guadagnare tempo e ideare un piano che gli permetta di salvare la sua famiglia.

La notizia fa subito scalpore: anni prima anche suo fratello Bear è sparito nei boschi in circostanze misteriose, e non è mai stato ritrovato. La giovane investigatrice Judyta Luptack comprende subito che tutti nascondono qualcosa: gli uomini della famiglia, che ai tempi di Bear hanno tardato a chiamare i soccorsi; la madre dei ragazzi, incapace di riprendersi dal dolore; il capitano della polizia, che ancora una volta ha fretta di trovare un colpevole, e Tracy, l’unica amica di Barbara al campo e l’unica a conoscere i suoi movimenti segreti.

Da quella funesta predizione Frances inizia a vivere nel sospetto, architettando strategie di ogni tipo per non farsi ammazzare da nessuno.. Passano i decenni, e proprio quando Frances comincia a rilassarsi... ecco che la profezia si avvera. Qualcuno si è preso davvero la briga di ammazzarla! Nel frattempo, Annie Adams, giovane scrittrice in erba, è stata convocata nella vasta tenuta di campagna della ricca e stravagante prozia Frances. Ma quando Annie arriva nel pittoresco paese di Castle Knoll, Frances è già morta.

Il ministero del tempo, di Kaliane Bradley
Link: https://amzn.to/3DCxOzX
Trama: Nella Londra di un futuro prossimo, un'impiegata pubblica viene coinvolta in un misterioso progetto governativo che raccoglie "espatriati" da epoche diverse con il fine di testare i limiti del viaggio nel tempo sugli esseri umani. Il suo compito è quello di fare da "ponte", ovvero agevolare l'adattamento del soggetto che le viene affidato. Il suo espatriato è noto come "1847": si tratta di Graham Gore, un ufficiale di Marina che nel 1847 partecipò alla famosa - e sfortunata - spedizione artica guidata da sir John Franklin. I "ponti" sono istruiti a non sovraccaricare gli espatriati di troppe informazioni perché l'obiettivo principale dell'esperimento è vedere se siano in grado di adattarsi con successo a un'epoca storica diversa, e se la transizione provochi in loro un cambiamento significativo. Inizialmente disorientato, Graham Gore si trova a vivere con il suo "ponte" - una donna single abituata a cavarsela da sola -, e a confrontarsi con oggetti e concetti misteriosi quali "lavatrice", "Spotify" e il "crollo dell'Impero Britannico". Tuttavia, Gore è ricettivo e si adatta rapidamente, e, nel corso di una lunga e afosa estate, lui e la donna passano dall'imbarazzo all'amicizia a un'appassionata relazione sentimentale. Ma quando emergono le vere intenzioni del progetto che li ha uniti, i due protagonisti devono fare i conti con le loro scelte e il loro futuro.

Trama: raccolta di dodici racconti che ci calano nei meandri più oscuri dell’esistenza, sia metaforicamente che letteralmente. Due bastardi di talento racconta il segreto, a lungo nascosto, che lega per sempre due amici divenuti famosi. Nell’Incubo di Danny Coughlin, un’intuizione senza precedenti ribalta decine di vite, quella del protagonista in maniera più catastrofica. In Serpenti a sonagli, sequel di Cujo, un vedovo in lutto si reca in Florida in cerca di conforto e riceve invece un’eredità inaspettata. Ne I sognatori, un taciturno veterano del Vietnam risponde a un annuncio di lavoro e scopre che ci sono alcuni angoli dell’universo che è meglio lasciare inesplorati. L’Uomo delle Risposte si chiede se la preveggenza sia una fortuna o meno e ci ricorda che una vita segnata da una tragedia insopportabile può ancora essere salvata.

Il lieto fine non fa per me, di Yulin Kuang
Link: https://amzn.to/3ZYNk0n
Trama: La vita di Helen, autrice bestseller di grande successo, è sottosopra: è congelata nel classico blocco dello scrittore e soffre di una gigantesca ansia da prestazione. Quando le viene proposto di occuparsi dell’adattamento televisivo dei suoi romanzi, accetta senza pensarci due volte: trasferirsi a Los Angeles, in un posto in cui non conosce nessuno, può essere il nuovo inizio di cui ha bisogno. Peccato che il destino abbia altri piani per lei: lo sceneggiatore delle sue storie altri non è che Grant Shepard, il ragazzo che non vede da ben tredici anni, da quando un tragico incidente li ha legati per sempre. Grant è esattamente come Helen lo ricordava: affascinante, divertente e popolare. Lavorare con lui per Helen è complicato e al contempo elettrizzante, perché l’attrazione è irresistibile. I vecchi rancori e un passato turbolento, però, sono difficili da superare e portano a un’amara certezza: il lieto fine non fa per loro. Ma se non fosse davvero così?

Spietate promesse, Rebecca Ross
(Seguito di Divini rivali)
Link: https://amzn.to/4a3ntZC
Trama: Dopo aver vissuto in prima persona gli orrori della guerra, Iris è finalmente tornata a casa, ma la vita lontano dal fronte è tutt’altro che facile: Roman è disperso e non si hanno sue notizie da settimane, l’esercito di Dacre continua ad avanzare puntando verso Oath, mentre i suoi abitanti, ostili e diffidenti nei confronti delle divinità, sono sempre più inferociti. Quando a Iris e Attie viene offerta la possibilità di tornare a seguire l’offensiva in prima linea, le due non esitano a dirigersi verso ovest, dove dovranno affrontare ancora una volta i pericoli del conflitto. Nel frattempo, nel regno sotterraneo, Roman si è risvegliato da un lungo sonno e tutti i suoi ricordi sono svaniti. Il dio del sottosuolo, che lo ha guarito dalle ferite di guerra, gli ha promesso che presto recupererà la memoria. Tutto ciò che deve fare, per il momento, è scrivere per lui e raccontare ai cittadini di Oath la sua versione. Ma un giorno Roman trova una lettera anonima proprio davanti all’armadio e, incuriosito, decide di mettere da parte i sospetti e cominciare una corrispondenza che lo porterà a interrogarsi sul proprio passato e sullavera natura di Dacre.

Trama: 1890. La piccola Rachel Kalama vive a Honolulu e fa parte di una grande famiglia hawaiana. Desidera vedere le terre lontane che suo padre, un marinaio mercantile, spesso visita. Ma all’età di sette anni i sogni di Rachel si infrangono: la comparsa di alcune macchie rosate sulla sua pelle indica che ha contratto la lebbra. Portata via da casa e dalla sua famiglia, viene mandata in quarantena sull’isola di Moloka‘i, dove si trova il lebbrosario e dove la sua vita sarebbe destinata a finire. E invece, sebbene costellata di ostacoli e prove difficili da superare, la comunità che si è creata è ricca di personaggi straordinari: c’è tanta vita anche tra i più disperati ed è un miracolo scoprire che la speranza e l’amore fioriscono nei luoghi più desolati.

E un avolta in in Africa, infermiera in uno sperduto ospedale congolese, e poi nel Belgio occupato dai nazisti, la sua fede si scontrerà di nuovo con la sua vocazione di infermiera.

There's a Beauty; There's a Beast Chapter One
Chapter One: Oddities of (Y/N)
A rooster crowed, awakening the small French village. From a small house on the edge emerged (Y/N). Watching as the sky lightened, she sang as she descended the front steps of her cottage and passed through the garden.
(Y/N) “Little town, it’s a quiet village, Ev’ry day, like the one before, Little town, full of little people, Waking up to say…” (Villagers) “Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour!”
As (Y/N) made her way through town, she greeted each villager kindly, even if it was not reciprocated.
(Y/N) “There goes the baker with his tray like always, The same old bread and rolls to sell.”
Handing some money to the man, she bought a loaf and placed it in her apron.
(Y/N) “Every morning just the same, Since the morning that we came, To this poor provincial town.”
“Good morning, (Y/N),” said a man.
“Good morning, Monsieur Melville! Have you lost something again?” replied (Y/N).
Melville frowned. “I believe I have. The problem is I can’t remember what.” He sighed. “Oh, well. I’m sure it will come to me. Where are you off to?”
(Y/N) smiled, her (E/C) eyes alighting with joy. “To return this book to Monsieur Poe. It’s about to lovers in fair Verona.” As she turned and continued on her way to Edgar Allan Poe’s small library, she passed the schoolhouse where the boys were entering for lessons.
(Schoolboys) “Look there she goes, that girl is strange no question.” (Headmaster Hawthorne) “Dazed and distracted, can’t you tell?”
Ignoring the unkind words, the attractive woman simply enjoyed the fresh air as she hopped across stones to avoid falling into a stream.
(Villagers) “Never part of any crowd, ‘Cause her heads stuck on some cloud, No denying she’s a funny one that (Y/N).”
(Y/N) hustled through town, trying to be as quick as possible to avoid the villagers.
(Various Villagers) “Bonjour, good day, how is your family? Bonjour, good day, how is your wife? I need, six eggs, That’s too expensive!” (Y/N) “There must be more than this provincial life.”
Finally, she entered the library of Monsieur Poe. He was sitting at his desk, writing his latest mystery with Karl sitting across his shoulders. Hearing (Y/n) enter, he looked up.
“Ah, h-hello, you finished the b-book?” asked Poe uncertainly, pulling his book to his chest uncertainly.
(Y/N) smiled, used to his anxious ways. “Yes, have you any new ones to read?”
“No, my mystery is not perfected yet! You must read an old one for now,” he hurriedly said, not wanting her to read an unfinished story where they might guess to killer.
“All right.” (Y/N) picked up her favorite book. Although not written by Poe, it was a lovely story filled with romance and adventure. As she was heading out the door, (Y/N) turned back to the write and remarked, “Your library makes our small corner of the world feel big.”
Poe brightened at the compliment and began writing quickly, wanting to complete his book now that someone was excited for it. (Y/N) left, returning to the bustle of the village, effortlessly weaving through people even as she read the novel in their hands.
(Villagers) “Look there she goes, That girl is so peculiar, I wonder if she’s feeling well, With a dreamy, far-off look, And her nose stuck in a book What a puzzle to the rest of us is (Y/N).”
As (Y/N) continued reading, she arrived at a particularly enjoyable passage.
(Y/N) “Oh! Isn’t this amazing! It’s my favorite part because you’ll see, Here’s where she meets Prince Charming, But she won’t discover that its him, ‘Til chapter three!”
(Y/N) passed by a salon where two young men were looking at items in a shop.
(Margaret) “Now it’s no wonder that her name means ‘beauty,’ Her looks have got no parallel.” (Gogol and Ivan) “But behind that fair façade, I’m afraid she’s rather odd!” (Margaret) “Very different from the rest of us.” (Gogol and Ivan) “She’s nothing like the rest of us!” (Margaret, Gogol, and Ivan) “Yes, different from the rest of us is (Y/N)!”
As (Y/N) stopped to play with a puppy, two men watched her from horseback up on a hill overlooking the village. One gazed through a jet-black spyglass that matched his shoulder length hair while the other simply rode next to him.
“Look at her, Sigma.” The raven-haired man smirked, his eyes following (Y/N) like a predator gazes at prey. “I am determined to have her.” He lowered the spyglass, revealing deadly, red-violet eyes, and passed it to Sigma, his associate. “She is the only pure person left in this sinful land. She is an angel, and I shall not let anyone taint her.”
“Ah, yes, but she doesn’t seem to like you, Fyodor,” Sigma said uncertainly, not wanting to make Fyodor too upset.
Fyodor merely smirked, a sinister air settling over him not unlike the way a hunter pauses right before pouncing. “No obstacle can remain in my way for long. I always obtain what I desire, and I desire (Y/N).”
The pair rode into town, people moving out of the way in order to let them through.
(Fyodor) “Right from the moment I met her, saw her, I said she’s angelic, and I fell, Here in town its only her, Who’s pure enough for me, So, I’m making plans to woo and marry (Y/N).”
They ride pass the salon where the Ivan and Gogol see Fyodor and excitedly head outside to try and gain his attention.
(Ivan and Gogol) “Look, there he goes, Isn’t he dreamy? Monsieur Dostoevsky, Oh, he’s so cute! Be still, my heart, it’s hardly beating, He’s such a tall, dark, strong, and handsome brute!”
The two men jumped back as the horses kicked mud towards. Fyodor ignored their attempts to get him to recognize them. Sigma simply glanced back and sighed.
“It’s never going to happen,” he said, before quickly following after Fyodor.
Fyodor walked past the botanists and bought some flowers as he glimpsed (Y/N). As they continue on their way, Fyodor hurried to push his way through to them.
(Various Villagers) “Bonjour, Pardon, Good day, Mais, oui, You call this bacon, What lovely flowers, Some cheese, Ten yards, One pound.” (Fyodor) “Excuse me.” (Villager) “I’ll get the knife.” (Fyodor) “Please let me through!” (Various Villagers) “This bread, Those fish, It’s stale, They smell, Madame’s mistaken, Well, maybe so.” (Y/N) “There must be more than this provincial life!” (Fyodor) “Just watch, I’m going to make her my wife!” (Villagers) “Look there she goes, She is so strange but special, A most peculiar girl, perhaps unwell, It’s a pity and a sin, She doesn’t quite fit in, But she really is a funny one, A beauty but a funny one, She really is a funny one, That (Y/N)!”
Finally, Fyodor pushed to the front and caught up to the girl he’d been chasing. “Good morning, (Y/N),” he said, “How lovely to see you.”
“Fyodor,” the (H/C)-haired beauty replied politely.
With a charming smile that most of the singles in the village would have fallen for, Fyodor handed her the flowers he had bought. “For your dinner table. Shall I join you this evening?”
Uncomfortable with the attention she was receiving, (Y/N) answered awkwardly, “Sorry, not this evening.”
Hoping to catch her in a corner, Fyodor said, “Oh? Do you already have plans?” He knew full well she did not. The hunter was hoping to trap his prey.
“Well, my father and I were planning on having a family dinner,” replied (Y/N), thinking quickly. Before Fyodor could get another word in, she walked off.
“Moving on?” said Sigma, approaching his associate.
Fyodor looked over at him briefly, the malice and danger in his eyes enough to quiet Sigma in a moment. “My angel is intelligent and tricky. I would not expect anything less from her. It will just make it all the more satisfying once she is mine.”
Meanwhile, (Y/N) had finally made it home where her father was mending a music box. It depicted him and his wife back in their old home in Paris before he and his child had moved. Although an intelligent and polite man, Fukuzawa was often thought of as a snob at times by the rest of the village because he came from the city instead of growing up in the country.
(Fukuzawa) “How does a moment last forever? How can a story never die? It is love we must hold on to, Never easy, but we try, Sometimes our happiness is captured, Somehow a time and place stand still, Love lives on inside our hearts, And always will.”
Looking up, he saw his daughter enter. “Ah, hello, (Y/N). Would you please grab the—” He was cut off when she handed him the instrument he needed to tweak the music box. “Thank you. And—.” Once again, (Y/N) held up a gear. “No—, well, that would work, thank you.”
As (Y/N) began to clear up some of the mess of tools and pieces scattered about the table, she paused. Frowning in a questioning manner, she asked, “Father, am I strange?”
“Strange? Why do you believe that?”
“People talk.” (Y/N) shrugged.
Fukuzawa sighed. He was disappointed that his daughter had to deal with these comments. “This a small village, unfortunately full of small-minded people. However, it is safe.” Seeing (Y/N)’s face fall, he continued. “In Paris, I knew a woman like yourself. People thought she was different from them and mocked her. Until, one day, they found they wanted to be just like her. It will work out, (Y/N).”
She smiled, knowing it was a story of her mother. She could barely remember her, but understanding parts of her made (Y/N) feel not alone in her own strangness. Because of her oddities, (Y/N) had never managed to grow truly close with any of the village children, even when growing up. Feeling a sense of familiarity with her mother her extremely important. It helped ease the feeling of loneliness that sometimes descended on her after hearing townsfolks’ comments. “Can you tell me more about her?.” (Y/N) deeply desired to know more about her mother but could tell it was a tough subject for her father.
Fukuzawa paused to think for a moment. “Your mother was…fearless. Fearless.”
Smiling, (Y/N) continued helping him pack up so he was ready to go to market. Together, the father and child brought the boxes to the cart hitched to Philip, their horse. As Fukazawa mounted the steed, he took his daughter’ss hand.
“What would you like from the market?”
“A rose,” replied the (H/C-nette), “Like the one in mother’s painting.”
Fukuzawa smiled fondly. “Every year is the same request.”
“And every year you fulfill it,” countered (Y/N).
“Of course.” Turning to the horse, Fukuzawa flicked the reigns as (Y/N) waved goodbye.
(Y/N) then got to work on doing the laundry. She headed down to the washing station where few women were still working. Instead of scrubbing each piece individually, she had put soap shavings into the clothing which was then piled into a barrel pulled around by a horse. Everything then tumbled together to clean the clothes while (Y/N) had time to read. A young girl, curious and innocent, came up to her.
“What are you doing?” asked the girl shyly, watching (Y/N)’s strange contraption go around.
Smiling at her, the bookworm answered, “The laundry.” Seeing the girl look curiously glance at her book, (Y/N) gestured for her to come over. The girl excitedly sat down next to them. (Y/N) began slowly going through sounds with the girl, teaching her to read.
Headmaster Hawthorne passed by and scoffed at the sight. “What on Earth are you doing? Teaching another girl to read? Isn’t one enough?”
Other people’s attention was piqued, and the young men began to get a mean idea into their head. They grabbed the barrel full of (Y/N)’s clothing and dragged it away from the water. (Y/N) shot up and cried for them to stop, but they went ahead and dumped the clothing out onto the road. The villagers laughed cruelly as (Y/n) hurried to gather the clothing. Monsieur Poe was luckily there to assist her.
“I’m sorry I didn’t arrive early enough to help,” said Poe quietly.
(Y/n) shook their head. “It’s not your fault. They would have continued.” She finished gathering her stuff and quickly headed away from the crowd that had gathered.
While the ordeal had been going on, Sigma had noticed and quickly left to alert Fyodor. The man in question was sitting in a café and sipping coffee when his servant associate approached him.
Bowing respectfully, Sigma said, “There is a certain angel in need of rescue, sir.”
“Wonderful,” commented Fyodor, smirking, mind already whirring with plans and strategies for getting what he desired. Calculating that (Y/N) would already be heading home, Fyodor went straight there.
Upon seeing Fyodor, (Y/N) smiled, trying to do a simple greeting before getting inside, but alas, she had no luck.
“I heard you had trouble with the headmaster.” Fyodor placed his hand on the (Y/N)’s garden gate, keeping her from entering. “He never liked me either. I was too clever for him.” (Y/N) pushed by him, too tired to deal with him. Frowning in annoyance at not being acknowledged, the raven-haired demon of a man followed them in. “Would you like a word of advice? These villagers will never trust the change one woman is trying to bring.”
“All I wanted was to teach a child to read!” cried (Y/N). She felt humiliated, angry, and in no mood to deal with Fyodor’s advances.
“And you could. You need to ally yourself with someone powerful for them to listen to you.” Fyodor moved closer, “I could bring you that. Marry me and people would listen to you.”
“I’m not interested in marriage!” (Y/N) was disgusted. Although it was an undeniable fact that Fyodor was handsome, intelligent, and powerful, three qualities which many of the singles of the town found incredibly attractive, (Y/N) didn’t want him for a husband.
Fyodor scoffed, gesturing around him to the village surrounding them. “Look around you. People who don’t get married are shunned. You already have experience with that. I can make all that go away.” He brushed the back of his hand down her cheek gently. “You could have everything you desire: money, revenge on those moronic villagers who wronged you, the jealousy of all others for being mine, whatever you want could be yours.”
“I may be an outcast, but I have more self-respect than to becomes your trophy,” snapped (Y/N). She stormed past Fyodor and entered her house, slamming the door before he could get another word in.
Fyodor turned and left. Most people would be upset at being so openly rejected, but he understood that Plan A hardly even works out as planned. Knowing that (Y/N) wasn’t tempted by power made her purer and more alluring to Fyodor. Replaying the conversation over in his head, he made note of what angered (Y/N) the most and began plotting his next attempt to seduce her to his side. This was a minor setback. After all, nothing ever stopped him from winning in the end. Nothing ever would.
(Y/N) watched in disgust as he walked away with a cunning smirk. The (H/C-nette) was appalled at the idea of being his spouse.
(Y/N) “Can you imagine? Me, the spouse of that evil, villainous… Fyodor’s trophy, can’t you just see it? Fyodor’s trophy, his little wife? Ugh! No, sir, not me, I guarantee it, I want much more of this provincial life.”
She gazed out her window at the rolling hills and vast forest, longing to explore and learn of all the places they’d read of.
(Y/N) “I want adventure in the great wide somewhere, I want it more than I can tell, And for once it might be grand, To have someone understand, I want so much more than they’ve got planned…”
Sighing in defeat since her dream was most likely a hopeless one, she closed the shutters and prepared for bed as night fell. I hope Father is doing well, she thought. (Y/N) always worried for Fukuzawa when he was gone.
l
Fukuzawa frowned as he continued through the woods. It was dark out, a storm was beginning to rage, and he had finally realized he did not recognize the woods he was in. Being lost in unfamiliar territory was dangerous, even for a man as calm and collected as Fukuzawa. When he came to a fork in the rode, he had a feeling he needed to go left, but unfortunately a tree had been struck down and lay burning. The silver-haired man had no choice but to go right, deeper into unknown land. He held the Philip’s reigns tighter as snow began to fall.
Snow, he thought, in June…A strange occurrence indeed.
He paused when he heard a twig snap. A shadow moved in the corner of his eye. Whatever was out there was circling him. His eyes narrowed as wolves began to move onto the snowy road. One sprang at him but he beat it away with a cane he carrier with him. To avoid further conflict, he snapped the reigns, prompting Philip to race down the path. Unfortuntaley, his cart crashed. The wolves howled and ran after him. Deftly avoiding their attacks, he mounted Philip and spurred him on. Fukuzawa could not afford to pay attention to where Philip went; he was too busy watching for sneak attacks. When he glanced forward again, he saw an old castle looming ahead.
If I can make it through this gate, it is unlikely that the wolves will follow. And then I can regroup and make it back to my dear (Y/N).
With the wolves snapping at him, Fukuzawa pushed through them and into the courtyard, leaving the wolves to growl and pant at the gates. Getting off his horse, Fukuzawa led to him to the water trough and hay bales.
“Thank you, Philip. There seems to be everything you need here. Rest, I will speak to our unknowing host.” Giving the horse an affectionate pat on the head, the silver-haired man walked up the grand staircase. Hopefully my host is not too alarmed at such a late-night guest. I will make it known that I mean no harm to the first servant I see. Being surrounded by such dangerous woods. Surely, they would understand a traveler’s plight. Fukuzawa knocked on the doors, and they swung open. “Hello, I did not mean to intrude.” He stopped, seeing no one was there. How did the door open? Wary, he continued inward, calling out so someone would hopefully hear him. “Hello?” The sound echoed around him in the dark entry hall. “I was attacked by wolves. I’m seeking shelter from the storm.” Not even a whisper responded. No flicker of movement. Nothing to suggest people lived there. “Is anybody here?” He walked to a table and picked up the candelabra for more light. The candelabra had interested grooves and designs etched into the silver surface. It almost resembled a face. Lovely work. I must take note of such fine work next time I’m sculpting. Fukuzawa began to walk through the rooms. Occasionally he thought he saw a slight movement, but when he turned to investigate, not a soul was to be seen. He decided to try to catch what was possibly moving. He stood very still, and once he saw a tiny movement, he whirled around. The lighted candelabra went out from the sudden movement. Cursing in frustration from the darkness, he rummaged in his pockets for matches. Damn, they must have fallen out when the cart crashed.
“Don’t worry sir! I can get it for you,” said a bright voice that seemed to come from right in front of him. Suddenly, the candelabra lit up again, revealing that the face etched in the metal was moving.
Fukuzawa froze before collecting himself. “Ah…thank you,” he said slowly. This place is cursed! he realized in alarm. He set the living candelabra down upon a nearby table which held a clock before rushing to the door and bolting down towards Philip.
“Tch, look what you did.” The dark wooded clock beside the candelabra commented. “Always messing everything up. It’s a miracle Dazai has kept you around this long, Atsushi. He should have broken you during one of his fits already, useless as you are”
“I thought I was helping, Akutagawa!” said Atsushi, the candelabra, mournfully. “I never meant to scare him…”
Outside, Fukuzawa was hurriedly mounting Philip in order to escape. Although the candelabra had seemed polite, red flags were going up in the silver-haired man’s mind. Objects becoming alive often meant curses were around, and curses were never something to mess with. As he galloped towards the gates to leave, he saw a gazebo with roses growing over it. It will only take a moment, and I promised (Y/N) one. He descended from his mount and walked into the gazebo. Fukuzawa walked into the gazebo, planning on grabbing a rose than quickly departing. He reached up once he saw a beautiful, blooming rose that he thought (Y/N) would appreciate. He plucked, not knowing it would seal his fate. A dark shadow dropped from the ceiling of the gazebo behind Fukuzawa. Philip instantly sprinted away, leaving his master. He froze, unable to move. He heard its growl from behind him as it closed in on him. (Y/N)…
