I have a few drafts and random ideas for this book that I never published or refined. If I remember correctly, they're from different points of the book, so I don't think they're in any order. Anyways, I thought I'd show you guys these drafted ideas as extra content! Enjoy!

Titled: Nico...

NICO'S POV

Flashback

"Fly, my little raven. Break past boundaries." Bianca said smiling as I lay next to her in her hospital bed.

I choked back my tears. "B, I'm scared! What if I can't? What if I let you down?" my child-self cried. Bianca wiped my cheeks and cupped them in a sisterly, but somehow motherly, way.

"You are strong, my brave raven. You can do anything. All you have to do is spread your wings and jump. If you're not ready, that's how you know when to do it. Fly, my raven, and nothing will be able to stop you."

I choked back a sob. I had no idea that would be the last night I would look into her dark brown eyes, listen to her melodic voice, and feel her liveliness as she smiles. I had no idea I was watching my sister die.

But I now know what she means. I should honor her words, but... how? We were children... we spoke words and dreams that are impossible and surreal. Nothing can change what has been done, nothing can change the deaths of my loved once, and I of all people cannot honor them.

I cannot fly through this pain, like my sister wanted. She coukd, but I can't. That's the difference between us; she died a freed girl, and I will die a cowardice, selfish, depressed man.

Leo. I think. Can I honor him now, while he's living? C-can I love?

Fly

Can I still love you now?

He's gone. My Leo's gone.
