Luke’s POVI decided to take a break later that evening to my favorite spot. Funny how it was still my favorite even though it held memories of the things I didn't want to remember anymore. It wasn't hard at all for me to get there, considering its location. A good walk would do wonders for clearing my head.It held too much of memories of her, of us, of everything she meant to me in this world and that. Her smile, eyes, hair, and voice were etched into the memory so deeply that sometimes I could feel them. My hands remembered every inch of her body. The way she felt. What I felt when she kissed me, what we did together. The way she screamed at me in the middle of our unruly passion . How we both got out of bed in the morning, smiling at each other like fools in love. She made me laugh. Made me happy. That was when things changed between us. I realized how one-sided it had been, she didn't feel the same way about me as I did about her. If she had, she would never have done what s
Emily’s POV“How long have I been here?” I was finally calm and my demons had quieted some.I had lost everything when it felt like I had fallen through the portal into this strange world. My powers had returned in the moment- my mental powers.“It has been a week. You were unconscious”“A week?” That’s all it took for me to go back into a panic again. A week and nothing had changed. I was still stuck in this roller coaster called life. I didn't succeed in leaving it behind.“Calm down Sara, everything is fine,” Luke said with a small smile on his face and placed a hand on my arm as if he had done that before. Of course, it was easy for him to say that it was fine even when it wasn't. The fact that he couldn’t see or feel what I could didn’t make it better by any means. Then it struck me! my baby!I sat up so fast my eyes got dizzy.Luke looked at me, puzzled, then smiled softly and shook his head. “Your baby is alright Sara, it's a miracle that the little guy or girl is still
Luka’s POVI saw Emily, she looked more beautiful than I could remember. Her golden skins shone under the moonlight like they were made of crystal. Her golden blonde curls framed her face. A smile was on her soft pink lips as she stood there waiting for whoever.I couldn't believe my eyes, it felt surreal that she had just been there all this while I searched for her everywhere, looking for her everywhere but nowhere in particular. She was just standing there when she had been there for years before, a few months after I lost hope to ever find her. It was almost like déjà vu again, but this time it wasn't so bad. “Emily?” I called out, I needed to be sure that it was really her, “Emily?!” This time it came out louder as if it would somehow give me permission to run and hold her in my arms forever.She turned around and smiled at me. I ran to her, I couldn't stop myself now even if I tried, my body just seemed to move on its own. As we embraced, I noticed how warm she felt against
Emily’s POVI leaned against the sink, watching the King - my Luka. He was currently washing his hair.I took the soap from him, massaging his scalp with my fingers, as he closed his eyes, relaxing completely. His skin felt soft and I could practically see the tension ease from him. It made me smile.When the soap was done I dropped the bar of soap in the bowl before handing him shampoo. He reached up and lathered the bottle, running the wet cloth through his long hair vigorously as he worked it through the strands.His eyes opened slowly as he stopped working to watch me. His gaze travelled down the length of my body, lingering for only a moment before returning to my eyes. I averted my eyes as I felt heat rush across my cheeks.Now wasn't the time to have such thoughts, I scolded myself.After Luka finished showering, we both exited the bathroom and walked straight to the closet.“Let me” I told him again.I was sure lust and desire hooded my eyes and I was sure he could see it a
Emily’s POVI thought today was just a great day to take a walk, not to do anything pretty intense but to stick to my lane and just look around for a bit.I still haven't seen Luke since last night.As I strolled down, I noticed the stares I was receiving from everyone on this lovely Sunday afternoon. I guess they could see how out of place I felt in their small neighborhood or maybe some just thought that it was rude of me to keep walking like nothing is wrong.But then again, nothing was wrong, it wasn't supposed to be but they didn't know me- I was the unwelcome one in the pack , a stray dog on a leash and no matter where I went it was only going to get worse. I didn't belong anywhere and I knew there would be no escape so why am I even bothering?I thought it was best for me to keep my head down and pretend as if everything was okay as long as I stay quiet, avoid eye contact, and try to blend in. The fact that there was a possibility that my life was in danger every single sec
Luke’s POVThe news of how Natalie had confronted Sara spread around like wildfire. And I was angry that I had not been there and sadly Sara had to be at the receiving end of her wrath.I saw red! How dare she try to hurt someone who did not deserve it!Natalie was crazy and manipulative, and I knew but confronting Sara over nothing? That was unforgivable. No one else needed to suffer through her nonsense. Not me and certainly not Sara.I made it down to her house, a place I had not been since forever. I also drowned the memories that haunted every step I took, reminding me of the past, where I used to be. I would not let them ruin what I was doing here with myself now. I would not allow this world to ruin my future too.“What did you do Natalie?” Anger laced my voice and my entire being as I stalked forward toward the woman in front of me – I was so angry that I wanted to shake her senseless. I wasn’t afraid of violence, not anymore at least, but if she were trying to make a f
Luka’s POVToday reminded me of when I found her, her arms were wrapped around her as she rocked herself back and forth, rocking slowly in my garden. I remember how I hurried towards her. My feet stumbled over some debris and I almost fell down. She didn't notice me yet but when she did... I froze with terror when I realized how fragile she looked. How much she needed help. The pain that was radiating off her wasn't physical; it was mental, emotional. It radiated from where I stood and all I wanted to do was wrap her up in my arms. Soothe her mind and take away this pain for good. Instead, I just watched her, afraid if I spoke or made even the slightest movement she might collapse and not wake again.She was mumbling words, words I couldn't hear and her eyes seemed to be fixed on something yet unfocussed.I hadn't seen such raw pain from anyone before and I could feel the heat of it coming off of her, searing through the air and making it difficult to breathe. I reached out my han
Emily’s POV“Sara?” I heard Luke call out to me from where I lay on my bed.“Come in, I am awake”When he walked in, he had his hands in his pocket like he always did whenever the situation was awkward.He stood there a moment before coming and sitting down at the end of my bed. “How are you doing?” he finally asked. I sighed and closed my eyes, trying not to be annoyed with him for bringing this up. “Not well… How about you? you seemed pretty disrupted last night” I said pointedly.Luke sighed as well, looking off to the side before replying. “Yeah…” He rubbed the back of his neck as if something were bothering him. “I was just dealing with something last night, but I am fine right now … So… yeah…” He trailed off and looked over at me again. “So, how is it going? You seem a little better than you did yesterday?” Luke asked me carefully, as if trying not to make me uncomfortable. “You know you can talk to me about anything…”I shook my head. “No thanks, you’ve already done enough fo
