“I see a beautiful house filled with love,” she continued, completely ignoring my question. “I see growth, I see Trust between two people who love each other so dearly. I see crowded parties, champagne flowing, chandeliers gleaming. Ah, you have a wonderful life waiting for you.”
“I don't think I can have a life as you described,” I replied almost bittersweetly, “those kind of lives are quite unachievable, especially for a girl like me.”
“Nonsense,” she replied with a soft but assertive tone. You will be well-respected, well-celebrated, and you will build the most beautiful family. You will have a daughter,” she continued with a softer voice, “you will have a beautiful daughter and her birth will bring lots of Celebration. I see lots of rose imagery, both related to your relationships and to your daughter. I see an oak tree, I can even smell freshly varnished wooden furniture it smells like one of those cabins that you would stay. Ever been to one?”
“I shook
I often found myself like I did not deserve her, as she had been so loyal to me. I was never one to be affectionate towards my loved ones, I had always been a bit more distant, no matter what I had done. I did not know why I was like that, it could be because I have been left all by myself whenever I actually love someone, it had always ended with me in a heartbreak. I was aware of my world, I was aware of what they were doing to me, but I was so happy in my comfort zone that I couldn't bring myself to bring them down. The only thing that I could do, the only thing that was left for me to do, let's feel grateful for those who are willing to stay by my side in spite of my walls. “Are you going back to the dorm?” Bella asked, bringing me back to the real-life from the dark depths of my thoughts as we walked out of the subway. I nodded to show my approval. “Okay then, be careful, okay? I will be a bit later today, I'll call you when I'm done.” I clumsily wrapped one of my arms
Princess Vivian I was unable to sleep that night. I would say I had a fairly calm twenty years of life but the past few days held enough to break me to my core. Whenever I closed my eyes, all of my miss-calculated decisions in these past few days rush through before my eyes. It was impossible to fall into sleep. I was not angry, no, I was fuming. I was angry at how I could do such a stupid thing, trusting the Sorceress that is, not once, but twice. I knew nothing good can come out of it, and as a matter of fact, I was so desperate to fix my mistakes, I kept digging myself deeper into the hole. I just could not accept the failure as well as I thought I would have. That was going to be my demise. being stupid enough to make the same mistake over and over again. “We need a strategy on how to approach the new girl, Your Majesty, for when she arrives tomorrow,” Jasmine brought me back from my thoughts, “We need to approa
I grunted, struggling to get under the duvet. My insomnia had been killing me, both metaphorically and literally. I dragged myself under the covers, going to the washroom to get into my bath Jasmine had already drawn for me. There were not many things that could make one as relaxed as a warm bath soaking up the tiredness away. I got out of my bath, after what seemed like forever, freshened up, got back into my room to allow my handmaiden to dry and dress me. Once my gown was tied up nice and tight, I sat down back to my vanity to allow my hair and makeup to be done. “Your Majesty, The Sorceress has arrived with our guest.” I took a deep breath, trying to wrap my head around what we were about to do. “How is she?” I asked, trying to do my best to hide my concerns. “Unconscious,” replied The Sorceress as she walked through the gates of the common room. “I wouldadvise you to wait until she wakes up, Your Majesty.” I had felt a surprising sense of relief
I opened my eyes in a foreign setting. The room I woke up in, looked nothing like I had seen ever before; high ceilings, drapes all across, it was a lot fancier than I could’ve ever dreamed of. The one thing was I really didn’t know how I ended up there. The last thing I remembered was walking the old lady back to her home, the rest is gone. “She is awake, my lady. You can tell Your Majesty,” the old lady said in a chirping voice. It felt good to see a familiar face. “Where did you bring me to?” I asked, still trying to make sense of my surroundings. “A place that lives in a different lifetime,” the old lady laughed. I failed to see what she found so amusing. “I don’t remember coming here,” I tried so hard remembering how and when we arrived. “How did we come here? When did we come here?” Just as I hoped to get an answer to fall out of the old lady’s mouth as the doors flung open. In rushes one of the most beautiful women I had ever la
I was out of my mind, I didn't know what to do, I didn't know where to go, I didn't know who to trust. As much as I wanted to seem like I was level-headed and try to keep my poker face as much as I could, it was to no avail. I was scared and I was confused. The old lady must have been able to read my concern from my face as she continued, “The smartest thing for you would be to just surrender yourself. Then you can enjoy yourself. This is not as bad as you think. The Princess will reward you handsomely if and when you assist her.” My sniffles softened with her reassuring words. “Give it a bit more time, maybe a week or so. You will understand me better then.” I stood back up and opened my door to collect the uniform that had been sent to me. There were many things I had anticipated in my life but becoming a handmaiden was surely not one of them. I was already late because of my overemotional chat with the old lady so I had barely any time left to take a bath, because
“Wait, is she really a princess?” The lady confirmed. I didn’t know why it shocked me as much as it did, if I’m being completely honest, there were still monarchies all around the world. But everything felt a bit off here than all the others that I had seen or heard about. In here, everything was a bit more 16th century, a bit more like the Tudors. “The Princess only trusts her immediate servants with her jewelry.” That made me surprisingly proud. “It is actually an honor, even though it does not feel like one at times.” “Thank you for saying that,” I snuck a glance at her, “I am so thankful for having you as my mentor here.” “Well, we will be spending an awfully lot of time together,” she bursted into laughter. “So, where are you from?” Lady Jasmine, asked. “Louisiana,” replied, without turning back to her. I just wanted to be done with the dusting job. “Never heard of that land. Who is the King?”“Pardon?” Just when I thought my day had gained so
“Your majesty, aas you know I am new in this world and to be fair, this world seems to have many peculiar problems compared to where I’m from. But I would gladly help you if I could help you in any way, shape or form.” Voila! “If I can’t do anything, then I will just listen to you talk for hours, until you feel like you are heard.” “Thank you for your kind offer,” I nodded my head. I did not know how to start or where to start from for that matter but regardless, I had found myself talking after a seemingly long pause. “So I am to be bethwored to the beastly King of a far away country.” Her eyes widened. “No offense, Your Majesty, but judging by the tone of your voice, you don't seem too excited about your marriage prospects.” “It is an arrangement that had been done without my knowledge, kind of like a set up.” “So an arranged marriage?” Her shock changed from fascination to pity. “Why though? I’m sorry, Your Majesty but you are sm
NIA It had been almost a week since I ended up here, I would still like to think that I was abducted but more so going with the flow so that they would feel sorry for me and send me back home. I had so many questions running through my mind, like where I was or why there was no service here but I had decided to seek an answer for all of my problems one by one as apparently, I had nothing but time on my hands when I wasn’t on duty. On the fifth day that I was here, something out of my imagination had happened. It was funny for me to think that it was so unimaginable when I had accidentally gone off the grid with an old lady, only to become one of the handmaidens of the princess of a society that freakishly resembles a cult to be completely hıonest. And still, that day sparked something irrevocable in my life. Up until that day, I had never thought the miracle Princess Viviana would summon me to just have a chat. Like what is even life here?
Drakes Pov “So you found the location of the White Lion,” Drakes stated with a blank look as he stood not facing his new injured visitors with his hands behind his back. “Yes Master, but we barely escaped with our lives for he is too powerful. The magic you gave us is also not affective against him for he deflected it back to me.” Leona replied while still clutching on to her stomach where her biggest injury was. Her sister Leyva also stood next to her having recovered but with injuries and was also wincing from her own injuries.“So its just as I thought. Aladdin’s magic and Alucard`s Powers alone will not be enough, I need to get more physical strength plus numbers by going after the White Wolf first.” Drakes stated while rubbing his chin in thought.“But still, you FAILED. This is the second time you witch sisters. You managed to also lose my newly acquired kin, the Vampire King Adrian.” Drakes continued but now with malice in his voice.
Elise Pov After that first mysterious roar, I heard Leona`s scream as if someone had attacked her. Then I felt the hands of someone hugging me.“Luke,”’ I whispered as soon as I felt the familiar sparks, although I still did not have my sight back and was still in darkness.“Yes, it is me I got you,” he responded while hugging me tightly and making my heart calm.“How DARE YOU COME HERE AND DISTURB MY SLEEP?” The loud powerful voice ROARED again. Igniting another earthquake tremor and whirling wind. I could feel as that caused us to be thrown and fly high in the air. Then to only land painfully further away, rolling into the grass.I also heard the pained sounds of Leona, Leyva and Adrian; seems they were also being thrown around too. The power of this Roar was sparing no one.As for us, Luke was the only one to release the pained sound as he took the whole fall, making me land on top of him, like a pillow.“What is causing that,” I cou
Elise POV Lydia duplicated herself into her twenty clones and they were the first to come and attack me.Grinding my teeth against each other in anger, I confidently stood there waiting for them to reach me. I could feel my hair becoming wet and even counted the number of droplets hitting against my face and flowing down.As soon as they did reach me, a switch flipped in my head and I was soon moving in sync with the blade in my hand. Killing as many Lydia clones as I could.Instead of a trail of Lydia bodies in my wake, seems that every time they died. The clones disappeared into black smoke instead of dead bodies.But Lydia kept on redoing the spell, spawning more and more to replace each that I killed.I quickly realized that they wanted to tire me so they could easily blast their spells at me like last time.But I had no choice so I continued fighting and killing with no thought of giving up.A small smile came on to my face as I not
Elise POV “So my mother, met the Magical White Lion in the Amazonian forest?” Luke first said,“At least it did not say the moon, for that would have made this harder for us.” He added with a relieved look.“Lets go and find him then,” I said to him as we got up.“I would come too, but from what you guys told me, I cannot wear my sun ring and will continued staying indoors instead. I have enough animal blood stocked to last a last time,” as Kim mentioned animal blood, I was a bit surprised for because of her red eyes and hate for humans I had thought that she drank human blood from blood banks. Like the other rich elite Vampire who had money.But then I realised why her eyes turned red, it was when she saved Adrian, drinking the blood of her soulmate and killing him.“Kim, can I bring my mother here? She also has no sun ring and I don’t want to worry for her safety.” I stopped walking and turned around to ask her.She first glared at me, no
Elise Pov “Luke whose place is this?” I could not help but ask as we arrived at teleported right outside the Gothic looking Mansion.“This is Kim`s home.” As soon as he replied that, I quickly glared at him!Like what the hell?“One I do not get along with that rude vampire female and secondly she could be under Drakes control and thirdly why again?” I quick shouted with another deeper glare. “Kim`s mother Annie who was a Vampire historian used to always be at the castle recording my mother’s stories. Its how they became friends and why Kim was always around us as kids.”“I never got along with her, for instead of playing with me, my Twin Adrian was always following her around like a lovesick fool. So I played boy stuff with Trey instead.” Luke continued.“So we are just only here to get this book,” I asked again with a frown. And yes I was secretly jealous hoping Luke did not also like her too like Adrian did. For if so, I was ready for a
Elise POV “Still, the only way he would get Alpharix to show up is through his daughter. I need to contact Ariel! For she is still in danger with her wolf.” Luke quickly stated in panic making me realize that he was right for the magical wolf was still a father.And as a father, he would do anything for his daughter and Wolf pup Luna.“I would teleport us to their home base right away, but being rogues they never stay in one place and are always traveling. Every time I talk with Ariel she always seems to be in some other new location, or in a boat or some plane.” As Luke said this, he ran his hands through his silky hair worriedly.And We knew Wayne and his friends may still have not yet reached them to report.I then looked to see Luke move to take the slumbering Lycan King`s phone, right from his pocket as he slept.Luke had lost his own phone during the fight with his brother and I lost mine a long time ago.“Of course, the password woul
Elise`s POV My mother quickly brought a cloth and water so we could clean up the deep wound.Emma also brought a first aid kit box, so I could disinfect and bandage him up.“He will be okay, don’t worry too much.” I heard my mom say. This was after we were done as she saw the scared look on my face as I stared at his now sleeping form.“I hope so, because I cannot survive without him,” I replied in a low voice as she left, not wanting her to hear my sullen reply.I decided to take a shower first for I was still in my prom dress. Another now ruined dress but this one was worse for it was coated in the blood of those I had failed to save.What was it with me and attending functions? Only for them to end up in disaster? From now on I refused to attend another prom, ball, or some shady auctions. I was done with all kinds of parties and events.But as I now stood in the shower, busy washing my hair. I finally let the tears i had been holding thi
Elise`s POV It was Kiala`s date Wayne, He looked just as horrified as I was by all that was happening. "Hmm, a Werewolf Rogue, figures. But don't worry, for soon, I shall be able to control your kind too." Drakes stated as he noticed Wayne at the same time too."You are a monster!" Wayne instead growled back while trying to prevent Tiffany and Kiala, from killing each other."Wayne, take them to safety, please," I managed to shout while also battling some of the zombies. Every time I killed my now zombified classmates, they kept on rising again. Tiffany and Kiala were not dead yet and they could be saved. "What about you," The werewolf Rogue growled back, "Just go, I will survive. GO NOW!" I shouted so he could see how serious I was. "I will try to get help for you." He replied with a nod while knocking both screaming girls out and then carrying them with his werewolf strength. From the way he was gently carrying Nia, I coul
Elise`s POV “Yes, he makes me happy. I feel as if my life is now finally complete because of now having him by my side. He told me that he would even give me the world and anything I desired.” She replied with another happy look of someone in love. She took a glass of the red punch from a waiter and held it in her hands, swirling it around. I also took one and started drinking it too after we did a cheer.Still, I was now busy hoping Emma, would be quick in bringing Luke here. I needed my date so we could dance together and make memories.But while looking around the room, my gaze immediately froze as I stared at something distasteful. “Lydia!” I angrily shouted as there that Witch stood. How dare she show up here? After what they did to me.She was also dressed for prom with her triplet sisters next to her. There all wore dresses matching with their hair colors; Black, Purple, and Orange.“Dear Elise. Always so fiery. But tod
