Battling Guilt Part 8: Rescue Attempt
Petra's heart was palpating and her brow was dripping with beads of sweat by the time she reached the top of the building. Not because she over exerted herself; her super-human strength for the most part prevented her from feeling the typical affects of over-exertion. No, she wasn't tired. She was nervous. She hadn't seen nor spoke to Ivan for months, despite his attempts at contacting her.

Tyra and the Tome
Tyra Elizabeth, the woman who invoked every ounce of admiration that was given to her, it was not her fault by any stretch of the imagination that her beauty alone inspired all the admiration she could afford. She found it more of a burden. A haunting disposition invoked upon her. At the time of her birth. However, the choosing of her lifestyle, whether it was fate or destiny or something different altogether, it invoked inside of her more of an outrage. Despite the most wondrous and glamorous beauty of all human creation. She loathed all of. Despite the attention then gentlemanly gifts. She was given more so on nonrandom occasions, or that when at any time she would step out upon the tears and screams of adoring people. She despised everything. She wanted to be left alone. She was not the type of woman or girl when I first encountered her. Who like being the center of attention? Everywhere she went, it was the same drowning sounds of screams and tears, the same adoring yes-man nature of her beast, it was not anything she enjoyed. When she rebelled. They only scream louder with enjoyment. Nothing she could do would deter the fickle demands of the public eye.

Red
They used to call this place White Palace. As he enters through the grand entrance, a feeling of deja vu hits him as if he has an old familiarity– something between hatred and love– with the floor and walls of the foyer. Ignoring all the discordant feelings that this place induces in him, he walks towards the ballroom. The hallways that accompany him on his trip are like the familiar houses of a memory lane. The ballroom hasn’t changed since his last presence in it. It reeks and feels of that retro feeling, the one which he most definitely can't ignore, consisting of an enchanting encounter, a delightful dance and tragic tragedies. He wears nostalgia as a midnight blue and a well-tailored suit– the same as last time.
