"We don't know what's happening and the whole city is now in fear over this." One of the women said and shuddered.

"This has to be some demon. It just has to be." Another chipped in between sobs.

Demons...

With a shudder of my own, I ran up the stairs and into my room.

I need to think - I need to think.

What was actually going on? Say there's a dark force or shit, doing this, what's their aim and what exactly do they want?

I sat down slowly on the bed, staring at my reflection on the mirror which stood at the other end of the room.

Death!

A voice screeched in my head and I froze, my eyes still glued to the mirror for whatever reason.

Suddenly, the reflection on the mirror slowly disappeared, leaving nothing but a blank dark wall.

My heart jumped into my throat but I kept staring at it,ignoring the fear racing through my veins, ignoring the way my head was suddenly spinning and the voice in my mind yelling at me to RUN.

Slowly, a hole formed on the mirror, like a magical portal, turnin

  • Fated to my sister's husband.   Chapter 010

    I could not do anything when I got back home. Nothing at all.I had ignored my parents who were talking in the sitting room and went straight upstairs to my room, where I had thrown myself on the bed.My heart was still beating fast, my body quivering like a frightened cow.Anytime I tried to close my eyes, all I saw was the monster, the creature I had seen in the library. And no matter how much I try to push the fear away, to forget about the whole memory I couldn't.Because with flashes of the monster flashing through my mind, came dozens of questions that just contributed to my headache.What was that?What…? Goddess above!! What the fuck was that?Where did it come from? How long had it been in the abandoned library?And then there was the small question which kept coming up even though I brushed it off severally - why didn't it attack me when it had the chance to?I mean - it would have killed me right there and then but why didn't it?But it had been moving towards me - though

    ༺ KAEL'S POV.Death…The whole place smelled like death and it made my stomach coil in disgust. I took a deep breath and walked into the room which I had dreaded entering for a week. The week I had once shared with her…Thalia.The moment I stepped in, the scent that hit my nostrils almost brought me to my knees - literally.Lavender.The room still smelled like Thalia, still felt like Thalia...like she had just been here a few seconds, like she wasn't dead.My heart clenched but I breathed through the pain I had been trying so hard to keep down for days, and stepped further into the room trying so hard to not glance around. I only came here for one thing - Thalia's journal.But coming here, into Thalia's room was more painful than I'd ever imagined it'd be.Because it brought back so many things, memories that I didn't want to recall, that I wasn't ready to face. Because facing them would mean me welcoming guilt to mince with the pain I already felt.Facing these memories would mean

    ༺ Kael“You can't be serious,” I murmured, my chest suddenly tight, “How? When? How the fuck did this happen?”“These aren't questions we are supposed to answer over the phone, Kael and you know that too well. That's why I'm calling you to invite you over to dinner on Friday night so we can talk about it.”I swallowed, trying to concentrate on Elias' words but my head was spinning, “What's there to discuss?”“The fact that the old man left seventy percent of his entire wealth to you - for whatever reasons.”I couldn't ignore the jealousy I heard dripping from his words and it honestly wasn't surprising. Not at all.Elias has always been jealous of me, always wanted everything I had despite being the older one. At first it was all cute until it became old and tiring feeling like I was forever in competition with my only brother.It had went on, until I walked in on him fucking my fiancé at the time. That was when I had decided that I'd had enough and left home. Although that wasn't all

    ༺ Sera It's been one whole week since I last heard from Kael. One week of no calls, or texts.Although to be fair I had not tried to reach out to him either...and the truth was that, I've been avoiding him for a while now - well I was, until he suddenly disappeared.Four days ago I had pretended to pass by his house, and to my surprise everywhere was locked.At first it seemed normal, but now I was just worried because what if - just what if something bad had happened to him?Kael couldn't just stand up and disappear without a warning - or would he? How much do I even know about the man? Yet I made myself pass by his house again. It was a Sunday, so perhaps he would be home. If he wasn't, then I'd have to do something...and fast. I was starting to get very worried.And I didn't have the time to be worried about Kael. Not when I already had so much on my plate as it was.But one thing I could not bear right now is another loss.Not even if it's the loss of a man that I loathed.T

    “Excuse me?” Sera screeched. I took a deep breath, looking away from her burning gaze as my chest tightened further. I had no idea why I had come to see her, of all people. No idea at all. But with everything that had gone on so far, I just needed...needed someone I could comfortably talk to. What made me feel that Sera would be that someone - I had no idea, but before I knew it I saw myself heading directly here. "Thalia, your sister's death was my fault." I mentioned again and she swayed slightly, her finger pressing her knuckles as she closed her eyes for a few seconds. When she opened her eyes, they were blank...and didn't betray any iota of emotion, which made me confused, and scared. This was a knowledge I never wanted to share with anyone. What was wrong with me? What made me think that she wouldn't throw me out and never see me again. Or even make do on her threats to kill me herself. "You aren't making sense," she said and pointed toward the bed, "why don't you sit

    Anyone who ever said there's no place like home surely has never felt what it was like to be in my shoes. Oh sure, there was a time when my cozy home aas my solace but now, it's the place I dread the most. And the fact that I knew what was behind those doors waiting for me didn't help me in anyway. I paused at my door, taking a moment to offer a quick prayer to the goddess, before pushing the door open and walking in. Just as I predicted, Rebecca was sitting in the living room, her legs crossed and eyes flashing when I walked in. On seeing me, she stood up from the chair and walked towards me, her posture tense and off. “Where were you?” I raised a brow, “Excuse me?” “You were gone, for hours. I came to see you and you just left us here alone without any sort of explanation so where were you?” I pinched the bridge of my nose tightly, before turning to Rebecca. “Listen to me carefully, Rebecca let me make something clear to you.” I started, and took two steps closer to her, “I

    Perhaps it was how empty the land was, or how the sands glowed like brown diamonds. Or perhaps the fact that the sun was shining so bright, bright enough to burn, but my skin felt no heat. Or the breeze which sounded like melodies. Or maybe all of them combined. But I knew as soon as I found myself here that I was in a dream.I hugged myself, and started walking - even though there was literally nothing on site, nothing around except the ground. It seemed like I had been pulled into some sort of deserted land. But there was just something peaceful about this place, about the air. Something peaceful that made my mind calm, that made me forget everything which was bothering me. At that moment all that mattered was the warm and subtle brush of the air against my check, and how the earth felt beneath my bare feet.Peace Something I've not felt for a long time. A very long time. Has my life become such a mess that I'd only get to feel this in dreams?I stopped in my tracks as my ea

    I was shaking in anger as I stormed into my room. My parents had been in the sitting room talking about something but I didn't care to pause or stop to greet them - I was too angry to pay heed to anyone. Once I got to my room, I flung myself to the bed, and shut my eyes tightly as if they would, in any way, take away the anger or the whole reality of the mess surrounding me. It didn't. The anger only built because closing my eyes made me remember the princess slash monster and her words. /You cannot stop them./ So what then is the point of all these? What exactl;y were we doing here? If we cannot stop them, if really nothing can be done, that means I was just wasting my precious time. Might as well just sit, live my life and allow the monsters to kill and kill until they get to me. At least I knew what was coming and whatever time I had left I could make use of it to live to the fullest. But it didn't make any sense. If truly nothing could be done about this - if there was t

    Sebastian’s POVNatalie hadn’t said a word since we left the park. Her eyes were glued to the window, but I knew she wasn’t seeing anything. She was thinking about him. Alfred. The guy who wrecked her and still had the nerve to show up and mess with her head.I hated seeing her like this, trapped in her thoughts. But I didn’t want to push her. Natalie was the type who needed time to process things, to figure out how she felt. But waiting for her to sort through this on her own was killing me.I pulled up in front of her apartment and turned off the engine, letting the silence stretch for a bit. I knew I had to say something before she spiraled deeper into whatever she was thinking, but I wasn’t sure how to start. I gripped the steering wheel, feeling the tension building inside me.Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore. “Are you really thinking about what he said?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm, even though I was frustrated.She turned to look at me, her face a mix of confusion

    Natalie’s POVI couldn’t sleep that night. I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about that phone call. Who was that person? Why did they want to see me? And why now, when everything in my life was already falling apart? I kept hearing that voice over and over again: “See me.”It made my skin crawl.Sebastian stayed by my side the whole night. He didn’t say much, but I could feel how tense he was. I wasn’t the only one scared. It was like we were both waiting for something bad to happen.The next morning, I couldn’t take it anymore. I sat up in bed, looking over at Sebastian, who was awake too. He had dark circles under his eyes, and I knew he hadn’t slept either.“I have to go,” I said quietly.Sebastian looked at me, frowning. “Go where?”“I have to see this person. The one who called me. I need to know who it is.”Sebastian shook his head. “That’s too dangerous, Natalie. We don’t know who this person is or what they want.”“I know,” I said, biting my lip. “But I can’t just

    Natalie’s POV I ran out of the house, my face wet from crying. I was so tired. Tired of everything. Tired of pretending to be married to Sebastian. Tired of his mom saying mean things about me. She called me a gold digger. She said I wasn’t good enough for him. It hurt so much. “Natalie, wait!” I heard Sebastian calling behind me. He was running after me, but I didn’t want to stop. I didn’t want to see him. I didn’t want to talk to him. His mom’s words kept ringing in my head, and I just couldn’t take it anymore. I reached the door, but before I could open it, Sebastian caught up. He gently grabbed my arm and pulled me back. “Natalie, stop,” he said, breathing hard. “We need to talk.” I turned to face him and wiped my face. “I can’t do this anymore, Sebastian,” I said, my voice shaking. “Your mom hates me. She always says I’m not good enough for you. I’m tired of pretending.” Sebastian looked confused. “Pretending? What are you talking about?” “This,” I said, waving my hand bet

    “Seraphina…”The beautiful and delicious way my name rolled off Kael's tongue - the shivers it gave me made me applaud myself for being able to say no in the first place.That had taken all my self will, all the strength I had. It had taken everything to break free from the hold of his eyes, the fire burning through me, wanting to be quenched. The fire that still burned from my heart to the sensitive spot between my legs.“Seraphina….”“No!” I snapped - which was how I intended the word to come out but it just came out as a whimper. I cleared my throat, “No, Kael. We can't…I can't have you do this to me. No! This is not going to happen.”“You can't keep running from this forever Sera,” he said carefully and took a step closer to me, “you can't.”“Well you refused to reject me so running from it forever is what I fully intend to do.” “Mmmhmmm.” He took another step, his eyes boring into mine, “how long do you think you can be able to hide from your own desires, Seraphina?

    ༺ KaelThe next day, I woke up with a clearer head and thankfully, Rebecca had left the house very early to goddess alone know where.As there was nothing more to do - and specifically because I had no interest in staying at home till she got back and started one of her rants, I quickly showered, prepared and headed to Sera's house.Her parents were in the sitting room, engaged in a heated conversation when I got there and let myself in.They stopped talking as they noticed me and her mother's face stretched into a grin as she got up to greet me.“Kael! How are you doing?”I returned her smile, cringing slightly when she gave me an embrace, “I'm fine, thank you. I'm here to see Sera…if she's around.”Her smile dropped slightly, and she exchanged a glance with her husband before turning to me with an odd expression.“I noticed you have been visiting Seraphina a lot these days and…well we are just concerned. Your wife recently died and we know…we know the relationship you had with Sera
