Her surrounding was much brighter, butterflies flew in from the windows and she watched them dance in the light that was casted upon the halls from the windows. One sat on her index finger as she held her finger out for it, making her smile. The rest of the castle seemed gloomy and dull as compared to this hallway. As she moved further the walls started to become scarce as they held huge window that you can pass through. The floor to ceiling windows opened up to a beautiful garden and she turned quickly into it. The trees were filled with a variety of fruits and colourful flowers. More butterflies flew freely around her. Birds were singing and in the distance she hear music playing.She followed the sound through the trees and found herself in a courtyard full of people going about their business. It seemed the castle had a huge opening in between, big enough to hold a market. Children were running about while their mothers tried to catch them and stop them. A little boy ran into a
"Come with me".She stared for a few long minutes at the closed doors. Giving up she turned to follow him. He led her a door, opening it he gestured for her to enter."My love is that you?!" Zara called out when she heard the door open. Tiana took a look around the apartment looking house and saw how similar it resembled some of the most luxurious apartments in the human world. It had a seating area with a navy blue couch with an open plan kitchen. The walls in the seating area were white and had a huge painting on the wall of a blue flower where a tv should go. Past the kitchen was a hallway that led to a staircase. And she was still looking that way when Zara appeared on the stairwell."Yes it's me and I brought a friend", Brandon said walking up to help her descend. "Careful".When Brandon said those words, Tiana's gaze flew to Zara's swollen belly. Zara was pregnant?!~"Thank you", Tiana said, accepting the plate of food Brandon handed her. She was seated with Zara on the sofa.
Brandon left Tiana and Zara and Tiana felt herself relax. She didn't notice it but Brandon made her uncomfortable. She just didn't feel as free with him the way she felt with Zara.They sat in silence for a while, simply focusing on the Mac and chicken Brandon had made. He didn't dress the Mac in anything but it tasted good."This was delicious", Tiana said handing Zara her empty plate. Zara placed it in the sink. "I'll tell him that the chef approved of his cooking ", Zara said smiling. "Let's go catch up a little ". She gestured to the couch. They both sat down on the seat with a sigh and it made them smile at each other."So what have you been up to? Besides growing babies", Tiana asked, happy.Zara snorted," This has been growing since before we met". She pointed at her tummy. Tiana looked stunned."How far along are you", she asked."I'll be giving birth in the next week or so", she told her."Omg I need to prepare!" Tiana squirmed. She was genuinely happy and didn't hesitate to
That night she spent it with Zara and Brandon and even slept at theirs. She had confirmed earlier if her parents were still on life support from Brandon and he said they were. Raphael couldn't do it without her signature so they were safe as long as she doesn't sign any document. Though what really surprised her was how quiet Raphael was about the matter of her not wanting to return to his part of the castle. From what she could tell from this palace was how expansive it was. It was probably the biggest castle shed ever seen in her entire life. And from what she heard from Zara and Brandon, it went on for miles. So she insisted on Zara showing her around the next day and she was more than happy. So at least she was getting somewhere with all this rebellion. The next morning they all woke up early, had breakfast which Tiana was so happy to prepare before they went on with their plans for the day. Making breakfast had reminded her of Jess and Asher and all the wonderful times they sp
Tiana told Zara to escort her to her room to grab a few things. When they got there the outer door was locked and Tiana frowned. "Why would he lock his bedroom door? It's not like he keeps anything valuable in there", Zara thought out loud. Tiana frowned at that too, it was odd. But likely she had her powers. She remembered how her grandmother taught her to pick locks with her powers. She closed her eyes and imagined the lock's hinges and pictured them moving. Soon enough they heard a click and Zara covered her mouth to stop the little gasp from escaping her lips. They were suddenly super cautious as Tiana slowly opened the door trying to be as quiet as possible. It felt like they were about to do something wrong and that sent a sense of thrill through them.Tiana was the first to step in closely followed by Zara. Despite Zara having a large belly she was carrying around her footsteps were lighter than Tiana's. That fact alone surprised Tiana. When they were standing in front of the
" This is between Raphael and I ", Cattah spoke calmly," And you", she turned her glare on Raphael who was still holding Tiana captive. " Where you going to keep this", she gestured up and down at Tiana with her open palm facing upwards," from me?"Raphael seriously looked confused. He was darting his attention from one corner to the other corner in the room. Suddenly the maroon curtains draped over the balcony glass doors and the cream coloured walls seemed so interesting. But when Cattah took a step forward he quickly shifted Tiana from his front to shielding her tiny frame from his back. She was free to talk now but she couldn't see anything from behind him."Now Cattah this isn't her fault. My beast chose her what was I supposed to do?" He asked her."Deny her!" Cattah shouted. Making Zara scoff. Cattah turned her death glare on Zara and threatened," if you don't shut up right now your son will have no mother". That made Zara growl so animalistic that it stunned Tiana. "Don't hu
Tiana woke up sick the next day. She had been hunched over the toilet more than once that day and it made Zara and Brandon worried. Brandon tried to convince her to talk to Raphael but one death glare from Zara he dropped it. After three hours of puking, Tiana was taken to the infirmary for a check up. She watched the doctor withdrawal blood from her arm that wasn't connected to the IV tube. She felt weak and just keeping her eyes open was a struggle. What ever she was sick of was gotta be very bad but when the doctor came back with the news she was genuinely horrified. After a few hours he sent her home stunned and feeling much better. She made him swear he wouldn't tell anyone about what the results said and he did. When she was still there she got to see her parents and grandmother and it made her a little bit happy. She smiled at the thought of them waking up again and it was everything she wanted right there. The doctor had informed her of no progress and it dulled down her hop
The sound of the waves beating on the stones was soothing as Tiana slowly closed her eyes and caressed her belly. Her white chiton was dancing in the strong wind. She heard someone approach her from behind and she turned her head and saw her grandfather making his way towards her. He was wearing a white and gold himation, with an over fold that looked so thick it could suffocate him. His hair was white as snow as it danced in the wind. He looked older than his wife did and Tiana wondered why. The child in her belly shifted excitedly making Tiana feel more exhausted because of its movements."Grandfather", she bowed her head as he got closer.Placing a hand on her shoulder he said," bless you my child". " What brings you here?" She asks him. Truthfully even in her dream she felt his presence foreign." I want to see you", he answered, like he wasn't with her right now. His voice sounded pained and tired. But his appearance showed nothing of a sort."But grand--" "No I don't want you
•THEA•My heart was beating too fast as my mind went blank at the blinding lights advancing on us. The vehicle was definitely a huge truck and my life immediately started flashing before my eyes. The feel of my chest tightening partly felt like I was going through cardiac arrest as I waited for my pending doom only for the truck to disappear from my line of sight as the car jerked and I felt myself hit my forehead into the window. The unmistakable sound of the car being hit broke through my ear drum and I felt two hands grab me. We both hit something hard and I heard a sickening crack. After, it all went silent and I waited for Lucifer to greet me. "Thea?" Water splashed on my face and I opened my eyes taking in a breath. The unfocused version of the devil greeted me as his eyes glowed. Blinking a few times to clear my vision, I found myself being scrutinized by the devil, who surprisingly resembled my husband. Truly, Herman was the devil.His mouth is moving but his words sound muff
The cell door swung open a few hours later and she was forcefully dragged out by two guards. She didn't even look up at them and just let them drag her out. She let them cuff her hands behind her back as they dragged her down the disgusting dark corridor. "Where is this one going?" One of them asked as he opened another door to reveal a bright sunlight. It blinded her partially. Making her blink frantically to adjust her eyes to the light. "The Colosseum, she's being executed", the guard who was holding her answered. Her spine straightened at the sound of those words. She was getting executed?! For what? She was suppose to save the world. She has a mission to make sure her son makes it into this world. No! She had to live, for him.As they got closer to a cart full of prisoners with the same fate as hers she sprung into action. Her grandfather was counting on her. Despite being bound she jumped and willed the air element to fling the guards away at the speed of sound. The commotion
Water splashed on her face, forcefully drawing her out of her dream. She was in Raphael's bed chamber that much she could tell. Looking around frantically she found his tall frame towering over her. He was in all black. From his cloak that covered him from top to bottom, to his dress shirt and dress pants that hugged his body perfectly it made him look like a day dream. He looked so handsome looking at her all serious like that. She wouldn't mind waking up to..."Tiana!" He called out making her jump. He sounded so angry and she definitely didn't want to get him whirled up on his anger again. What day was it? "Take these", he handed her her pills and dread over took her senses. How did he find those? She gulped. If he found them the he knows about her being pregnant. Is that why he looks so angry?Slowly she took them out of his hands and popped them in her mouth. He handed her a glass of water and she took it without question. He then silently led her into the bathroom and helped he
She spat in his face as he pinned her arms above her head and was taking off her clothes. Just like he expected she had no undergarments on, it seems her kind loved being naked in one way or the other. From the gods to the haematoi, they all loved to be naked.Raphael just chuckled and wiped her spit on her clothes before he tossed them behind him. Taking out a pare of cuffs from his pockets he bound her wrists together and threw her on his desk."Don't worry it's going to be the best sex we've had so far", he assured her before he locked the door shut. Tiana's whole face was blazing. He had slapped her earlier more than once. She smiled though because she bit him more than once too. He probably has bite marks on both his arms. They were acting like animals but she was doing it for a good cause. He was on her, kissing, sucking and nibbling on every curve of her body.She moaned despite her protest not to. He then lifted her legs and put them on his shoulder before he plunged into her,
As they made their way down the hill the castle was built on Tiana was genuinely surprised. "The birth place isn't in the palace?" She asked." No it's down by the river side. Actually that's where the what you can call hospital is located", Rose clarified." Oh, then the one in the castle is only for ---"".....the king and his family members", rose finished for her. Tiana gave a shake of her head in understanding." There", rose pointed up ahead. Tiana looked up in the direction she was pointing at and saw I huge structure between the trees. It resembled office buildings in the human world but the word " Σπίτι φροντίδας (care home )" where spelled out in big bold letters in front of the building just at the top.As they got closer Tiana wondered how she was going to escape and who would help her. The surrounding area was heavily guarded and she wondered why he kept such a lock of his land. What was it he was hiding? Or maybe who was it?Of course her grandfather was here but he tol
Tiana continued to stare at herself in the mirror. She was even afraid to touch her hair. With out much thought she scrambled to look through her room for a head rap. She wasn't going to let anyone see this ludicrous transformation. Not having any luck, she settled on tying it into a low ponytail and throwing a thick dress over her head. Opening up her bedroom door she walked the few steps down the hall to Zara's room but she found the door wide open and devoid of any life.Where are they? She wondered as she stepped into the room. Lucky for her she found a shawl on the side of Zara's bed. After returning her dress to her room, she draped the shawl over her head to hide her unusual hair. Descending the stairs she walked into the kitchen and found a note on the counter. Baby came sooner than expected. Be back by noon tomorrow. P.S if you'd love to be there, use my beeper and contact my youngest sister at sun rise.She left her beeper next to the paper and wonder how t
