In The Tapestry Fragment Scene Of Chapter 5 Of Bloodbound Book 3, The Group Mourns And Remembers The

My Queen is finally back!

MC: “Let’s never be apart again.”

Kamilah: “It’s a promise.”

Kamilah is sweet and caring during the reunion this time ♥️, and she isn’t afraid to show a bit PDA.

We don't have to wait for long! Yes!

A vampire party + flirtations? Sounds fun, but the only vampire that my MC will be flirting with is Kamilah.

Mistakes

Hi, everyone. While browsing through Tumblr, I saw a request for a Kamilah x MC story that takes place after the Priya diamond scene from today's BloodBound chapter. Afterwards, I got inspired to write this. Hehehe.

P.S: I only saw the Priya scene through screenshots posted on Tumblr. I didn't actually buy the scene because I want my MC to remain faithful to Kamilah and also because I want to save diamonds for future chapters. Lol. Hahaha.

Note: The setting here is that the Council meeting went well and Gauis did not appear at the end.

Amy's POV

"So, it's settled. We will implement the rotational scheme."

After hours of animated and heated arguments and debates, the Council had finally agreed that they would not destroy the vial. Instead, they decided that they will hide and secure it, and that its hiding place will change every week in order to ensure better that Gaius will not be able to locate it.

"As agreed, Jax will choose the first hiding spot. Afterwards, it will be Priya. Then Lester, then the Baron, then me, and finally, Kamilah."

At the mention of her name, you instinctively stiffen - the memory of your literally bloody affair with Priya tugs at your guilt.

"Once the first rotation is completed, we will start a new one with Jax selecting the next hiding spot."

After a few more closing statements, the meeting finally adjourns with everyone present feeling tense and anxious.

The Baron and Lester leave immediately - the uneasiness apparent on their faces.

Adrian then addresses the rest of you. "I better go. I need to consult with some of my Clan members about surveillance and intel gathering."

"I'm going to go start planning." Jax says. "Lily, I think I'm going to need your help with some tech stuff."

"Gotcha. See you around, Amy." Lily goes in for a hug.

"See you."

As the three vampires leave, you turn to Kamilah who seems completely lost in thought.

"Kamilah? You okay?"

Before the Egyptian vampire can respond, a silky voice purrs into your ear.

"Aww. Aren't you going to ask me how I'm doing?"

You jolt as Priya wraps her arms around your waist.

"Priya!"

The fashion designer grins predatorily. "Why so jumpy, darling? You seemed to enjoy being in my arms before."

You feel your hands go cold. Kamilah is standing right in front of you and is now staring at you engulfed in Priya's embrace.

"This whole Gauis business has made me tense. Maybe you can help me relax ..." she lightly nips at your ear, not at all bothered by Kamilah's presence.

"Priya, I ---"

"She will do no such thing. Let her go."

You both turn to Kamilah whose eyes are silently blazing with cold fury.

You're frozen by a feeling of dread, but Priya just laughs.

"Oh, but she will. After all, we had so much fun the first time we did it. Right, Amy?"

You are unable to respond as you watch the anger on Kamilah's face turn into shock. For a brief moment, you see a glint of hurt in her eyes before the fury returns to her features.

Kamilah steps over to the two of you and roughly places a hand over Priya's arms which are still around you.

"Priya." You see her grip on the fashion designer's arms tighten. "Let. Amy. Go."

As her grip continues to tighten, you start to hear something crack.

"Ah!"

Priya suddenly releases you. You turn to see her nursing her left arm. That's when you realize that the sound you heard was her bones cracking.

In a flash, Kamilah is between you and Priya.

"Leave. Now." Kamilah's eyes were red and her fangs were bared.

Priya answers by bearing her own fangs. However, she doesn't do anything else.

"Fine." She stretches her arm - her cracked bones now completely healed. She turns to you and smiles. "We'll pick up where we left off some other time, gorgeous." She winks and leaves without another word.

Soon, you and Kamilah are left alone in an unbearable silence.

After what felt like an eternity, she speaks with her back still facing you.

"Why?"

End of Part 1

I agree with the points of this post.

I value quality over quantity when it comes to content and outputs. However, I understand that financial and logistical concerns affect the quality of the outputs produced. When resources and workforce personnel are limited, compromises and business-centered decisions have to be made.

I think that the people at Pixelberry are probably trying their best to deliver good content while also trying to meet demands and make ends meet. They're a group of creative and talented people, and I think that they know that they can do better. But at the end of the day, they have to make sacrifices and compromises.

Also, let's not forget that the PB team is composed of hardworking people who need to earn money. The PB people may do what they do because they love it, but the doesn't change the fact that they are persons who also need to earn to support themselves and their families.

All in all, I think that we should try our best to understand the problems that PB is currently going through. I know that other fans and readers have several concerns regarding the treatment of certain characters and representation in books. And I believe that all those concerns are valid and that they should be addressed. But I think that we should also try to make some room for understanding.

Since my last post about 2019 releases blew up with almost 400 notes in 1 day (long post ahead):

Please give Pixelberry the faith and time they need to bounce back.

Many users in here have pointed out that the single reason that 2019 has had poor releases, standalone books that were meant to be lengthier franchises, as well as a plethora of genderlocked books and wedding-centric trilogies is

Across the Void.

I will remind you that Across the Void had all new character designs, music, backgrounds, and a long story planned ahead. It is most likely the single most ambitious book in PB's recent history, with probably the biggest budget they'd had. And because the fandom failed to endure the warmup leading up to our MC's involvement in the war, PB lost a TON of money. That has led to:

1. Additional spending to rewrite the story of ATV in order to give it a(n) (semi-proper ending)

2. The release of cheaply-made "moneymakers" that rely a ton on players spending diamonds for romance scenes. See Wishful Thinking, Passport to Romance, Sunkissed, etc.

3. The reuse of face options for MCs and limiting the amount of free outfits one can wear drastically. (Bachelorette Party offers you one free dress. ONE.)

4. This is a minor one: The weird reusal of ATV's music in the Elementalists 2. Don't get me wrong, I like the music, but the mashup of the two soundtracks doesn't feel genuine enough.

We know for a fact that Pixelberry knows better than this. We know that they are able to write better stories than these most recent ones. We find ourselves focusing too much on the disappointment of Sunkissed and Passport to Romance that we sometimes forget to cherish the greatness that was and is Open Heart, Ride-Or-Die, and most recently, Nightbound.

The discourse of the fandom over Nightbound having only book took Tumblr by storm just yesterday. If romance lovers are PB's real moneymakers, then PB will cater to them first, before they can release their genuinely well-crafted passion projects.

We were spoiled in 2018 with the release of Bloodbound, Veil of Secrets, Perfect Match, A Courtesan of Rome, It Lives Beneath, The Elementalists, and The Heist:Monaco, just to name a few, which have all been excellent.

If Across the Void hadn't tanked, then there probably wouldn't even have been a need for Passport to Romance or Wishful Thinking. Or at least, there may have been more funds to give them more satisfying conclusions. Bloodbound II would probably have avoided turning into the bizarre series of fanservice-sexcapades that it has turned into.

Not to mention all of the heteronormative and sexually suggestive covers that we have had recently:

1. The change of the Nightbound cover (thank God it's been reversed now)

2. The Sunkissed cover (which has our MC LITERALLY kissing Nate, so rest in peace, WLW)

3. The Big Sky Country 2 cover, which suggestively features a female MC and Sawyer

4. The Red Carpet Diaries 3 cover, which features our MC marrying Matt (again, rest in peace, WLW. You've had it the toughest out of all of us.)

5. Platinum gets a pass here, since it lets you choose Raleigh's and Avery's genders in-game, in spite of showing the MC with a male Raleigh.

These changes are the result of careful data analysis, and PB knows what they're doing financially. They need to rebuild and gather funds for new stories. So, if you can, do purchase more diamonds to spend on those less romance-centric stories, or at least try to enjoy the (admittedly massive) amount of content that we are getting right now. Diamond miners have never had it this good.

Pixelberry just had a bit of a slump. Things will turn for the better, for sure. (Also, please refrain from attacking the "Facebook moms". If they're the ones who make it possible to receive our weekly content, then at least let them have this.)

GiyuShino Fanedit

Hi, all! So, I decided to edit illustrations of Giyuu and Shinobu to make this:

Background image taken from rawpixel.com

What do you guys think? Hahaha.

Below are the original illustrations:

Honestly, I think that Tony Rez bears a greater resemblance to both Tanner and Pierce than Bryce does. This kind of makes me think: Maybe Tony is a Sterling? Maybe like Pierce's illegitimate son or an unknown distant relative.

Hello. I just noticed that some of my posted stories contain typos and other grammatical errors. I apologize for that. I should review my stories more thoroughly before posting them. My apologies. :(

Reunited

I noticed that some people posted that they wanted to see Adrian, Jax, and Lily react to Kamilah and the MC’s kiss at the Prague airport. So, I decided to try writing out this idea of mine. Hehe. I hope that you all like it. :)

Note: This is a modified version of the reunion scene at the end of Chapter 9.

-----

Amy’s POV

As you head towards the exit, you immediately see two familiar faces.

"Lily! Kamilah!"

The purple-haired vampire's expression brightens upon seeing you. "Amy! Girl, am I glad to see your face!"

Right next to her, Kamilah smiles at you – relief and happiness gracing her features. "And I'm glad to see that you're not hurt."

You take in the sight of Kamilah smiling warmly at you. You start rushing over to her. When you're only about a few steps apart, she holds out her arms, and you fall into her embrace as you finally close the gap between the two of you.

"Amy..." she begins murmuring into your hair, "... I was so worried."

"I'm alright, Kamilah." You reply as you pull away slightly to face her. "Especially now that you're here."

You take her face in your hands and kiss her firmly – grateful that you're together again. She reciprocates by brushing her lips insistently against yours and pulling you closer.

She breaks away after a few seconds. "I've missed you, Amy." She breathes against the corner of your mouth.

"I've missed you too, Kamilah. Let's never be apart again."

She smiles at you. "It's a promise."

You lean your head against her shoulder... And that's when you notice your other friends looking at you in shock.

Lily's mouth is agape. "Wait a minute..."

Jax stares at you with wide eyes. "W...what?"

Adrian looks stunned for a few moments before eventually shaking himself out of his stupor.

"Well... I had hoped that you two would become close... But I never thought that you would become this close."

You take in their reactions and feel a blush form on your cheeks. But before you can form a response, Kamilah speaks.

"You know what they say, brother." Kamilah smiles amusedly – unfazed by the reactions. "'Be careful what you wish for.'"

Lily finally recovers. "Hold up! Since when did this happen?!"

Jax blinks a few times before speaking. "Yeah... Uh. It's not really any of my business, but I definitely did not see this coming."

Kamilah raises a hand. "Now is not the time for such questions." She begins to disentangle herself gently from you, and you pull away so that she can turn to the others.

"We have more pressing matters to discuss, such as getting the Eye of Bathory."

Adrian clears his throat. "Kamilah is right. We have to focus on our goal."

"Thank you, Adrian. It's good to see you again, by the way." She strides toward him to hug him tightly. "I'm sorry about what happened in Paris." She adds softly.

Adrian sighs wearily but firmly returns the embrace. "Truth be told... I've been better... But it's good to see you again, too, Kamilah."

When they pull apart, Adrian manages to give her a small yet playful smile. "But you and Amy still have some explaining to do later."

"Yeah, girl!" Lily exclaims while pointing her index finger at you. "You got some serious BFF explaining to do!"

You laugh while Kamilah just rolls her eyes. "Whatever. Anyway, we best leave for my office. We have much to discuss."

You fall into step with Kamilah as you exit the airport. You find yourself glancing around nervously, looking for anyone who might be working for the Order.

As if noticing your anxiety, Kamilah slips her hand into yours and grips it gently. You smile and squeeze back – thankful for her presence.

Honestly love your Kamilah posts with the screenshots they’re just *chefs kiss* mwah perfection! 🥰👌👩🏻‍🍳

Hello! Sorry for taking a while to reply. Thank you! I'm glad that you like my posts. :)
