When Dora was about sleep, she realized she haven't talked with Fred all day. Her health was improving slowly which was unexpected.She thought her body was strong enough to cure anything, but she was so wrong. Sighing deeply, she lay on the bed staring at the ceiling quietly thinking about the giftshe brought. The gift might be useless but she had no idea if Fred would find it cute.After roaming a lot in the market, she ended up calling her little sister for any ideas and the suggestion was so simple! She regretted not having any gift buying knowledge but it wasn't like it was her choice though. Thinking of a gift for Fleur was a tough job as she didn't know much about her so all she could buy was a show flower bouquet with no fragrance.Just when she was about to doze off, a notification on her phone made her excited as she quickly grabbed it and checked it was Fred.An instant smile took place on her sleepy face as her fingers started replying to his texts.Soon after a long talk
Walking inside Dora's room, he expected to find Sylvie beside her, but she wasn't. Maybe she went to the terrace. He went to check if she was fine and found her standing safely behind the grill, her back in his direction. He didn't disturb her and went back to Dora who was still sleeping. Sitting beside her, he stroked her hair thinking about the word Sylvie told but he ignored it in between the argument. 'Boyfriend' she had said. How did she get to know? Guess this little girl was smart. He scoffed and looked at Dora's eyes which were closed. He was yearning to see her Hazel orbs but seeing her like this, he found her adorable. —Frederick's POV— She smiled. When I looked at her, I couldn't help myself but wonder what was she dreaming about. Are you dreaming about me? So silly of me. You'd even be hitting me in your dreams for god knows which fault I committed. I scoffed at my thoughts leaning back, still stroking her cheeks. They're not wet because of tears but I could feel her
The light creeping into the ocean shadows, the long strings reaching the depth were visible to my naked eyes when I kept drowning with no hope of another day. I kept floating.Thoughts were swirling in my head but I could ignore them as I felt my lungs filling up and my nerves stinging with sharp pain before relaxing. I was going numb.Surrendering to the waves of the deep oceans, I closed my eyes and the corner of lips lifted up. I was finally free.Free from betrayal, free from humiliation, free from being a weakling, free from this toxic world.And I thought those would be last thought before I felt cold air invading my lungs and I coughed heavily shaking my vocal cords. I felt a hand rubbing my back but I kept breathing as in instinct. But I was in rage. I was on the land because someone had decided to be a helpful human and help me out of the water as if that was what I actually wanted. Where do good and kinds humans go when you actually need them?I looked up to find a group of
I returned back home with a deep sorrow for deciding to end things in such a rush. It was indeed a hasty decision and I was too self centred to just think about myself when I had someone who looked up to me all the time.Gabrialla. My little bean. Even though she recently had a coming age of ceremony but I still see the little girl before my eyes when she smiles, when she cries, and when she holds the whole universe in her eyes. Gabrialla needed me to have the universe in her eyes. Because I agree or not, I was her life. And I was too cruel to take that one thing away from her when she found purpose of her life in someone else."How's college?" I asked the girl who now had calmed down and gulped down the whole glass of water."It's okay." She whispered and looked at me. "You won't do something like that again, right?" The little girl asked."No." I replied softly and kissed her forehead."Can I trust you?" She asked, breaking my heart."Yes." I answered. I felt a pang in my heart wit
As if the heavy burden was never on my body and I never lost my breath, I jerked up from my sleep with my eyes wide and breathing shallow.The first thing, my eyes noticed was the photo frame hanging just in front of my eyes on the wall ahead which showed me and my sister laughing at each other while hugging and our hair were made into something funny.I frowned and looked around to see a huge room, probably the size of my studio apartment and the clear full moon shining outside my window on the other side of my closed curtains.I heard a knock followed my the click and the door flung open showing a tall figure."What is it, Yun?" A sleepy deep voice spoke, while rubbing his eyes. "Another nightmare?" He added.The horror now was not being at an unknown place, which looked like it belonged to me, but the man's identification."You...you..." I shivered to even take his name from my tongue. The land owner, my bully since high school, was standing casually and asking me a question which
"Now will you please tell me what's wrong?" A soft voice from behind me spoke and caught my attention. Mia looked at me with tired eyes that woke up just because of me but lips held a slight smile in assurance that everything was okay now. But what was wrong? Didn't I just get smashed under the heavy bricks and rods? Why is this situation so different from my everyday life? Where's Gabriella? "I...don't understand..." I muttered, biting my lips and trying to recall if my memory was a dream and if I remembered any of this life or this right was a dream. "What is it that you do not understand?" Calvin asked softly and cupped my cheeks. I pushed his hands away slowly and sighed. "Everything!" I answered honestly, ignoring the fact that none of them would understand what I meant. Not that I was gonna explain anything anyway. "What do you mean?" Mia asked, frowning. "Nothing. Can I be alone, please?" I asked, pulling my knees to my chest. "Are you okay, babe?" Calvin asked. "Yeah."
I opened my eyes to the surroundings of white ceiling and walls and four people looking at me with concern. I was laying on the hospital bed with white sheets covering my body and dim lights accompanied by the sunrays lightening the room.I took a deep breath in the silence andWhere was my sister? Mia walked closer. She touched my forehead and smiled."Fever's gone." She turned around and said to others. My eyes wandered at each of the faces. Mia, who's eyes looked red and puffy — she had cried. Calvin looked equally scared as her, hair still a mess. Alice, who had sadness in her brown orbs, was standing across the wall with her hands folded before her. The man who I didn't know was rather looking differently at me.Though he was concerned but he seemed to have a doubt in me. He was suspiciously eyeing me as if wanting me to answer his questions which were unasked."Yuna...babe." Mia called softly and I looked at her. I was confused and my mind felt foggy with all questions and surrou
I looked up at the man sitting on a red velvet chair placed upon the stairs and I heard murmurs among the people sitting around me. I tried to stand up and I had frown."Excuse me?!" I exclaimed trying my best to sound tough. The murmurs increased."Are you sure you want to use that tone to talk to me, my lovely Luna?" He asked in a rather dark tone and my knees started shivering."What tone do you think I should use?" I said as my voice came out shaky.I looked up at him and he was fuming. His eyes turned golden and his fist were clenched tight on his knees."Dismiss." He ordered in a heavy tone and everyone rushed out of the hall as if scared of the man and just wanted to save their lives. The huge door behind me closed and the man stood up from his throne, making his way to me.My legs, as if having their own mind, took several steps back as he kept getting close to me. He reached to me before I could break the eye contact and run and grabbed a fist of my hair pulling my face close

Shaking off all the thoughts, I waited for Eric to return. I couldn't call anyone. I seriously need to go there and meet.It's all because of the invention of the phone that we never memorize anyone's numbers.But I'll memorize everyone's numbers now. As Eric entered the room, he raised his eyebrows twice before resting them again asking me if I called anyone."I don't remember anyone's number." I sighed. I left my phone in the car before we headed to meet Roy. I frowned as a question popped up in my mind."It's okay. Meet them when you're okay." He patted my head."Can I ask you something?" I asked. Seeing my serious face, he frowned too."Yeah, sure.""When you found me, did you find anyone else with me?" I asked.I know this might be a stupid question or may create many doubts but I needed to make sure if Roy was still alive.He hesitated to speak for a while which tensed me. Growing up anxiety ate up all my patience as I sat straight ignoring the pain for some time."Uh... yes." H
Nymphadora's POVFluttering my eyes as my brain gave a command to open it, I closed them again as the bright light forced itself on my face. Feeling my lungs alive, I took a deep breath slowly feeling my surroundings.I was lying on a soft mattress covered by the sheets. My hips were paining to the point that it made it impossible for me to move. My foot was aching with pain too.I felt bandages. I was still struggling with the sun and felt like it was fighting me to stay put as I was.Trying to raise my hands, I felt as if they were working after a long time, I rubbed my palms on my forehead before protecting my eyes from the direct sun as my throat left a voice that sounded annoyed."Oh, you're awake!" I heard a male voice but couldn't pull myself to turn my head in the direction of the origin.I heard the footsteps across the room and eventually noticed the sunlight was gone. He had pulled the curtains close.I finally managed to open my eyes to see a well-decorated ceiling, probab
The temporary base campAstrid's POVI, along with my father, headed towards the base camp set by the soldiers of both of the kinds. Finding out about the creature's motive and the one giving him orders was necessary. Because even if right he was caught, she was on the lose. There is nothing stopping her from finding another deer for doing her dirty work while she lived anonymously. Taking a full breath was out of question and I was craving to take my real form because of the anxiety and lack of breath, but I had to calm down.I looked at my father sitting beside in the car, he was looking outside with his hand on his lips and elbow resting near the window. He was still in deep thoughts and I decided not to disturb him. The car ride remained silent until we reached out destination and we stood outside.I closed my eyes for a while to focus on my breathing and took a long breath. We both walked inside and the soldiers greeted us. I saw the human soldiers standing alongside our soldier
Astrid's POVIt was supposed to be my day off because of the weekend but who said I was working as employee? I was the King and I had no such things called holiday in my life. Sounds painful, but yeah, I had already accepted this. I never had any problem in working but Yuna always made me want to take leave and just tuck in the bed and spend some quality time with her. But alas, here I was.I was still wearing my nightwear since I had no one to see or talk to but I had to just read some papers and sign a few documents before I could head out. I opened my father's office and saw him sitting on the chair with his head leaning back and eyes closed with a frown. I approached him and saw his hands entangled on his lap.He was probably thinking something deeply and that was when I saw the file lying in front of him which was attached to a picture. A picture of a man."Dad." I called him out."Take a look at this file." He said without moving an inch from his place and I held the file in my
Warm waterAstrid's POV"No." She said. I wanted to scream and jump in joy with her approval but I contained myself. I did not want to do anything that would scare her in any way but just wanted to comfort her in her ways. She loved warm bathtub time and loved it even more when I massaged her head while she rested.Not that she ever accepted my help nor confessed that she liked it. It was I who insisted on helping her with a promise that I would not get horny, which was difficult.That would be the first time she agreed with me. I helped to remove her dress because her hands and legs were weak and pale. But even after being pale and tired, her face turned rosy when I pecked her lips and I loved having that effect on her.I scooped her in my arms and headed towards the bathtub filled with warm water and bath bombs. She was just so perfect in my arms that I always wanted her in them.I gently placed her in the water and she sighed in relief. I smiled a bit and took a small stool and plac
Lord's BedroomYuna's POVAfter a long time, I finally opened my eyes after keeping them shut even after waking up for quite a while. I scared to look around or worse see if there was someone waiting for me to wake up.Especially, the lord.The room was dark since the curtains were closed and the light was not allowed to get in much. It was daytime. I took a deep breath and tried to sit up the support of my elbows but laid back down with a hiss.My whole body was in extreme pain and my brain was numb, dizzy. I closed my eyes again, realising that not moving or waking up was so better.Now my body was aching with pain even when I was not moving. This was worse. But I could not feel the ankle detector on my legs anymore. Was it gone or I just could not feel it because my body for used to it?I slowly opened my eyes and looked around the room. It was Astrid's room. Everything in that room was the same, not that a few days would have changed anything. The smell of the room reminded me of
Astrid's POV"Thanks, mom." I replied and looked at father and he nodded before turning to his wife."My Juliet, this knight in his not so shining armour would now have to return his task of saving this lazy world. Now, if you excuse me." He bowed and kissed her knuckles, making her chuckle and dramatically turned around, pushing me and walking out of the kitchen.I rolled my eyes but followed him as we made our way to his office and his whole demeanor changed as I closed the door behind me. Same old dad."I heard that Ulfred told you something." He said and leaned on the table, hands crossed on his chest."He told me that the human army were actually trying to warn us about the sealed gates getting endangered and an underground creature on lose lurking in the human world." I said and he frowned with his eyes wide."Then what happened to him?" He asked."They said he was found near the hunter's society while the remaining soldiers were trying to tell the our soldiers about this and tr
