Chapter 7 Section 5 - Past Life
Thanks for reading everyone!
Half a chapter already over again and now it became clear what I was building towards (of course some people had figured it out a long time ago). It certainly wasn't a well crafted romance plot or what not and everything would have needed a lot more time, but it's probably good enough to get away with... especially in the genre I'm writing in. There's just only so much casual sex you can have before you should question your relationship status with that person.
It would have probably been best to set them on some kind of adventure of a full chapter (~10 entries) length and have them grow together over that while maybe showing some kind of other sexual content outside of their growing romance. That would have worked better and we'll get something like that at some point, but back when I created this entry I didn't want to commit that many resources/entries towards that it.
Nonetheless... the bar for vampire romance stories is pretty low anyway, so I think I get away with that ;). Still a better love story then Twilight... etc.
For everyone concerned about the variety and amount of sexual content, we all know that the (already very liberal) social rules of my vampire world could never stop Nora from enjoining a sex life besides her new relationship, especially when Thomas is working for the Queen in some distant provinces of the realm and Nora is bored at home ;).
I hope you guys enjoyed reading it. The fashback scene won't have a follow up or something like that, I just wanted to give a bit more perspective on where Nora is coming from. Keep in mind that she was really young and a lot weaker when that happened. The initial idea for it came when I was working on Chapter 5 when she tells Eric about the relationship we just saw (Chapter 5 Section 1). I also wanted to tie all the different flashback scenes together give some chronological order.
Below you find a chronological ordering of all the flashback scenes, ordered into sub stories. By now they are all scattered amongst several chapters and I wanted to provide a handy way to access her story in chronological order:
