AIDEN BAHEDIA My hand is placed on mum's leg and I can tell how frightened she is with how her legs fidget Her breathing is heavier. What has my mum done now to get Sasha's attention? What happened on that trip? The hate in her eyes is similar to the one I saw when my mum was humiliated and beaten in the coven. I fear for her life. I doubt I am allowed here with her but it is a risk I am willing to take. Sasha walks in with a black and red jumpsuit with a veil starting from the waist and sweeps the ground. Her face squeezed into a frown with guards behind her. She halts infront of me and stares at my mum. "Take her", they grab her and I hold one of the guards hand knowing it will get her attention and it did. "Sasha please", I beg but her face doesn't soften, if anything it hardens. "Do I have to repeat myself?", she asks her guards and they take her and drag her like a garbage. I take a step towards Sasha and I bump into Tash. His irky gaze made my knees weak and it takes t
SASHA VAHEMIR We are all seated and looking at the screen. Watching Aiden and his mum speak live. Manhandling Aiden wasn't part of the plan, Tash gets protective of me most times and he held back, I wonder what would have happened if he didn't, maybe Aiden would be dead. Tareem visited after scolding Tash for almost killing Aiden. He prepared the medicine himself and had it delivered specially, he even waited until he woke up. Yeah, Tareem can be sweet when he wants too. It was all him. "Mum, do you know anything about Penelope?", Aiden asks his mum as they sit in the conference side by side. How are we able to watch them? It is simple. We have camera in each and every part of every supernaturals domain plus we have eyes amongst them. We never check the camera because we don't want to prey on their privacy, atleast we have some one check and when something is off, they alert Davil and Tareem. I would be a liar to say I am not scared shitless. I am scared Aiden would humiliate inf
SASHA VAHEMIR. "Tash, is there a way to reconnect with the dead?"I ask Tash as we play chess in my room, and he halts and looks at me, wondering how I knew. So there is a way. "Why haven't we tried it? Maybe there is someone from the Vahemir who was as weak as I -" "You are not weak," he sighs and snaps his fingers. The guards come in and bow at me. "Please stand up straight," I tell them, and they stand up straight. "Take this and make sure no one enters into this room," Tash orders, and they take the chess board. "Sire, what of Davil El Mushacr?"one of the guards asks, and Tash looks up at him with a death stare, and the guards body stiffens. "Yes. Don't let Tareem, Davil, or our wives in without consulting me", he grits his teeth, and the guards body slowly turns red. "Let him go, Tash," Tash releases him, and he almost falls to the ground before the other guards catch him and take him out. "You have been a little pissed lately. What is wrong?"I ask as I place
Sasha Vahemir We are all in the meeting room again and as I walk in, they are no longer having a gloomy look and I am a little happy about it. I have a sit and Tash takes a deep breath before speaking, “Aiden has been stopping by for awhile now begging to meet with his wife and he almost threatened to knock down a guards teeth and all” He halts, that can’t be all. They all look suspicious, their eyes saying different things and all that. It feels like another gang up. “So we decided t-“ “We?”, My eyes land on Davil who avoids my gaze while Tareem is irritated by my interruption. I smile and nod. “Proceed”, I relax on my sit and stare at Tareem who seems really pissed off and I don’t blame him, neither of us has apologized to one another, this is the longest we have gone without talking to each other and I am not bothered. I guess a lot has truly changed. “We decided it is best you go back to your husband’s house. You have caused enough ruckus in just a couple of days”,
AIDEN BAHEDIA “She is home”, Seb announces to me as I enter the living room and a weak smile envelope my lips. I have been carrying out my own investigations about Penelope and it has been useless because my resources are limited. It feels like someone in the higher up is ensuring that nothing about her is found and I don’t know anyone connected to her pack. It has been frustrating and if anything I need enough rest and knowing Sasha is around makes it all better. I push through everyone’s stare and walk through the stairs and halt in front of our room and takes a long deep breath. My hand fidgets as I stretch it and gets ready to twist the door knob. Why are you scared? It is not like Terror is still in me. I open the door to see Sasha all sad and….drunk? Her eyes are all drowsy and her lips curves downwards. I enter into the room and shut the door behind me. Sasha sits on the arm chair with a glass cup filled with blood, I hope. Her eyes are getting smaller with each sip. W
SASHA VAHEMIR The cups fall down from my hand and it hit me, I am actually scared, scared the pain will be for nothing, I am scared whatever I find might hurt, I pray there is something to be found on the other side. I smile. "I hope it is worth it", I fall to the ground as my intestines burns. I yell at the top of my lungs as my stomach grumbles. I roll on the ground and as soon as I hit the ground, I start to second guess my decision. It feels like I took in an actual poison and every fibre of my internal organ is on fire. I start feeling nostalgic and I start vomiting but I feel so heavy like a sack of dry cement is dumped on me. What the hell, Abigail? Before I can process everything, my eyes slowly start to shut and I am so grateful that this has ended. I pray there is no pain in the afterlife. I smile as everywhere becomes dizzy. I never want to feel this pain ever again. I shut my eyes. ****I am in a timeless void. Everywhere is white and I can't see any do
AIDEN BAHEDIA I keep tossing around the end and touching the side of my bed every minute. I should have come home. I should have given her the antidote before everything. I am so stupid. She promised to let everything slide so we can start on a new slate. I should have taken it. The look on her face earlier today made my heart shatter and the fact that she stood and said she didn't matter. She has always mattered. She has always been important to me even though I hated that. If I didn't hate her I would have never hit Andre or left the funeral to ensure she is fine or get really livid or worry over her. I toss again and sigh heavily. Is that a story of Sasha's ancestor? If Sasha is a twin we would have remembered or even had a younger brother. I mean it doesn't add up. We can't forget something so important. Why was all the Vahemir on the run? Who is so powerful to have inflicted fear on them? I groan. How can I right my wrongs? I can't just make her forgive me over
SASHA VAHEMIR A little boy is stabbed right before me and my knees grew weak and tears build up in my eyes and my heart was do heavy I'd slump and die from the pain. I heard a loud scream and I knew it is not from me, I looked beside me and noticed my hands are intertwined with a little girls hand who seemed to be the replica of me yet so different. Her scream shattered the little self control I had left and I saw the person on black approach her and I pulled her behind me for shelter. . "Run", I urged and she tightened the grip on my hand in fear and I let go of her and my heart beat so fast that I knew I was scared but I have someone to protect. "Now sister", she ran and I pushed my right leg back for balance and stance as I stretched my hand out ready for a battle. Come on you psycho. The person doesn't move but just stood fearlessly. The others who surrounded the other cars moved backwards in fear like they were scared and knew what was to come. I looked at
SASHA VAHEMIR The page flips and end at a certain page, and I understand. It is the evil presence in my room trying to communicate with me. "The individual conjuring the spell must make a pact and sacrifice something they love to ensure the wicked of evil spirit don't possess the body", I translate to English as I read it aloud. "What do you need?"I ask no one and every spirit around, and the page flips backwards, and it stops at a certain page, and the subheading is written 'HUMANITY'. "If I come back in one piece, I'd give you more than my humanity" I promise, and the candle lights on its own. The page flips to the page of reliving ones memories and life history. Why am I making pact with the spirit? I am seeing things that are ikely to happen as a newborn or while mum was pregnant with me. And I am staying longer than usual, so many evil spirits roam and search for an available host, and I need a little backup...... more like a little protection. Do I trust the
AIDEN BAHEDIA Ever since Sasha's appearance the pack as been in disarray and it is hard calming everyone one downing seeing as the person we are going to war with is the coven and Sasha Vahemir. With a threat like hers it shouldn't be taken lightly. Would I have the heart to fight against the woman I love? The answer is no but love is never enough. We must fulfill our duties to our people now. As I walk to my parents room to talk to my dad, I hear my parents argue. I halt to hear what the fight is about so I know how to tackle it. "You knew?", Dad asks in utter shock and disgust. "Oh I knew. They needed to dethrone her and her father won't bulge. Her dad would have been a big threat to our revolution so we used his daughters discovery against him and it worked. They promised me security, he promised me things and he kept to it. They waited patiently until she was old enough. But they made sure we started breaking her as she got a little older. Do I hate her personal? No but
SASHA VAHEMIR There is laughter, jubilations as we feast because of Tash's new born. He has been carrying his child. He refuses to let the child feel the warmth of another. Abigail has been smiling but with a glint of sadness or is it.....regret? She has been brewing with laughter as she stares at her husband and her son. She must be proud of Tash. She really hit a jackpot. "It will be me soon", Tasha's excited voice whispers into my ear from behind me and I spurn and hold her in my arms and she laughs. "You are in your feels. Not bad Sasha. Not bad", I push her away lately pretending to be angry and she comes back into my arms, she uses my hand to wrap around her herself while I act all stubborn and non chalant. "Come on. I am your only sibling. I should be given special treatment", I lock my hands with her at my middle. She is the split image of the woman in the limbo but alot younger. Why is that so? Someone nudge me and I tilt my neck to the side and I see Victo
SASHA VAHEMIRI stare at the card in my hands and everyone I love are circling me, everyone except Davil. I don't know how to feel about any of these. I don't know why I can't feel anything. It is like I have lost my ability to feel. It is like the pain became to much for me to bear so my brain shut down my ability to feel. Tasha is sitting beside me as she holds my arm. They all stare at me with pity in their eyes. He is marrying his mistress two days after I signed the divorce. I don't know how I should feel about this. "If you don't go I won't", Tasha rest her head on my shoulder after speaking. "Say the word and we will all stay back", Tash utters. I should go. I will attend the wedding. I want to know how quick it is for him to throw everything we both shared out like it didn't happen. I want to know if there will be any trace of guilt in his eyes when he says his vow to the woman he had sex with right before me. "I will attend the wedding", I place my han
AIDEN BAHEDIA I knock at the door. My chest aches so much and I know it isn't from me. It is from Sasha. The door opens and Sasha's eyes are red like she has been crying. She just opens the door and walks towards the bed, no hug, no kisses, nothing. "You okay?", I ask and she just ignores me and sit on the bed as she bites her lips as tears fall. I look at the tiles and I see the test result and I sigh. She saw it. I kneel before her and hold her hand and she shakes her hand off mine. She is angry. Please not now Sasha. Please. "I told you we can't have kid-" "Did you ever want a child? Because that is the vibe I am getting off you", she spits out and I lose my cool. "That is harsh. Yes I want kids with yo-" "Oh stop those lies. You heard I couldn't give birth and you stopped trying. You didn't ask if it could be reversed. You left me to mourn our child on my own. I begged you to stay, if you had stayed I will still be carrying our child. I wasn't important
SASHA BAHEDIA I wake up in the morning to an empty bed, body pain and a cold weather. I rub my eyes and stand up and I stretch before leaving the bed. I don't see Aiden around. Did he just leave after having an aggressive sex that felt so much like a goodbye? I just sigh and check my phone incase he sent a message. I check and I see a message from him, it reads; I went out for some urgent work and I won't be around until later today. The maids are at your service. I called Tasha to keep you company. I love you so much and take care of yourself. I walk to the bathroom to take my bath. I come out of the closet wearing a black short on one of Aiden's big red shirt and my slippers and I bump into an excited Tasha. She hugs me and then pull away. She draws my hand towards the bed and we both sit down. "So I have something fun planned for us. Today is for just us. We get to talk and catch up", Tasha squeeze my hand and nod. "So let us get going", she stands up and drag me
AIDEN BAHEDIAAs my wife waltz in, she runs into my arms and hugs me so tight and I know something is wrong but I don't ask. She would tell if she wants me finding out. I lead her to our room and all we do is cuddle in my arms until she fell asleep. What did you do Taet? "Baby? Let us try to have another baby", her voice is low but catches me off guard. "Baby gir-" "Please", she holds unto my chest and the straddle around me as she plant kisses over my face. I gently push her off me and lay her down beside me. She sits up and arch an eyebrow waiting for an explanation. Why these sudden behavior? She came home sad and disturbed and now she wants kids. Did she forget when I said we can't have kids? "Stop please. I am not having sex because I want kids. I can have sex because you want it or I want you. But for kids that is nonesense talk. Stop making it hard to accept that I can't have a kid", I feel my anger slowly rise and I stand to my feet and turn my back
SASHA BAHEDIA "This isn't the Darcs castle", I speak up when taet and I enters my room. We are at a hotel. At the outskirt of Dahmatra. I spurn to Taet as I wait for an explanation. "There is a protective spell hovering around this hotel so no word said here gets out. We can't take the risk of talking about this when people are around. We don't know who to trust. So I suggested this. Don't worry we are not staying in the same ro-", he walks down the hall and opens a door. I walk behind him and he opens and say under his breath in Italian, "Un solo lavoro Veda, un solo lavoro" I laugh when I see what she did. I and Taet will be sharing the same bathroom. Taet couldn't even look at me and I just smile. "It is fine. We just have to knock whenever we want to use the toilet", I try to calm him down. "We will meet back in your room in five minutes", he shuts his door and I hear him cuss and I just smile stupidly.**** His room is very simple just a bed, cen
SASHA BAHEDIA I open the door of our room and look out the window and I see both men turning their back against each other. Aiden speaks and then walks towards the building. Davil swirl and looks at Aiden and smiles at him. He is proud of him but I wonder why. Davil looks up and I wave and Davil waves before entering his car. I watch his car leave and my chest aches. He didn't think I needed comforting, is it because he wanted me to pick up myself with any help from him. Is it because now isn't the time for some pity party? Is it because he is happy he took a little of his pound of flesh and didn't see the need to pretend? I really want him hugging me and assuring to bring the culprit the justice but he can't because that involves bringing himself to justice. Do I want that? I really hope this makes you feel better because it is does I will gladly watch you ruin me. "Sorry I took l-", I feel Aiden's hand wrap around my waist his head on my shoulder and he kisses my c
