Crying in the shower had always been a great way to hide her sadness. Stupid couldn't stop repeating itself in her head. She felt it and now she was ready to embrace it. After tonight she was certain that it wasn't going to be easy to let him go. But she had to.That was the thought she set her mind to as she wrapped herself in a towel. When she opened the bathroom door she was surprised to find that the lighting in the room had changed. And Raphael was no were in sight. She slowly step out of the bathroom and immediately her feet step on something softly. She looked at the floor and found herself standing on rose petals.She looked back up at the room and noticed that in place of the table he put her on earlier was a vanity and a note was stuck to the mirror. Clenching her fists tightly she slowly made her way towards it through the neon lights that illuminated the bedroom now. The purple light that shown now made her feel like she was in a night club and not a bedchamber. She snatch
Thirteen years earlier.The two girls ran down the muddy forest floor as they desperately tried to flee danger. “This way”, Tiana said, grabbing a hold of Jessica's hand as she took a sharp turn to the left. Narrowly missing an arrow to the head. A gasp left Jessica's lips when she heard the arrow embed itself into a huge oak tree, narrowly missing her head. Though it wasn't something new. That's what had been happening since the day their lives had been turned upside down. It was either the king's men or the people they robbed food and supplies from chasing them."Where are we going?!" Jess asked, she kept her pace marched with Tiana's. Even now they kept the unspoken rule that Tiana was in the lead and Jess wouldn't have it any other way. "Wherever the road takes us", as Tiana was saying that she willed the huge log ahead of them to move aside. They didn't have time to leap over or crawl under things. And that was a very big mistake. Their footsteps drew to a halt as they beheld
The bone crush, neck breaking and heart stopping impact never came. Instead what they felt was a soft and cuddly impact. Opening their eyes wide in surprise, Tiana and Jessica took in their surrounding. They landed on a thick pink cloud in a castle looking place. The walls were a soft pink, they could see the outside through floor to ceiling windows that were lined with gold on the edges. The sky outside was periwinkle and had fluffy blue clouds unlike the one they were on. Awestruck Jess asked, “Where are we?”“ I have no idea”„ Tiana replied. Taking in her surrounding just like Jess was doing. Her curiosity drew her to look down at the edge of the cloud and that set them both tumbling to the floor beneath them. Pain shot through their bodies but the fall was as bone crushing as they anticipated. They were both glad that there was water to break their fall. Even if it didn't do much. Now they were wet and their hair was covered in flower petals. A woman sighed,“There go my favorit
A pitcher of water splashed onto Tiana's head as she endured the grooming process she was forced into. Her head received a squirt of a rosy smelling liquid, right before the woman behind her started massaging her hair. The princess relaxed into the bath but soon after another pitcher of water landed on her head. Lucky for her the water was warm. After the bath was done. She was helped out of the tub and was led into a closet. Oils that had a sent of vanilla, jasmine, roses excetera were laying on top of a vanity and she was asked to choose. She chose the vanilla scented oil for her skin and that's what they used on her. She felt prettier than she did earlier and it was definitely because she was clean. Unlike she'd been for the past eight months. It was almost the new year and she hasn't seen or heard from either of her family members, except for Jessica of course. "Where done", the three women told her. They bowed their heads and walked out of the room and back towards the bathing
" Well Raphael, it was a pleasure meeting you. I'll be on my way now", she said as she tried to make her way past him but he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her towards him. "Aren't going to wait until you also see me naked?" he whispered the question in her ear. Tiana blushed, biting her lower lip to stop herself from smiling. He noticed that and smirked. She didn't have to say anything as her hesitation was enough answer for both of them.He moved past her and as he obviously unzipped his pants trousers. Kicking off his boots and stepping out of them. Then he threw his shirt at her. Silently telling her to look. Though when she turned, she only saw his ass cheeks flexing as he made his way towards the washroom. When he was at the door he turned to give her a wink then disappeared behind the door. Tiana's face was aflame even as she exited the room and found herself in the room she was in earlier. Jess was on a comfortable looking chair asleep. She looked more peaceful since eigh
Tiana and Jess woke up thirty minutes later and found themselves almost kissing on the comfortable couch. Horrified they let go of each other quickly and got up. A chuckle and giggle rang out in the room grabbing their attention.“ I guess they weren't gay”, another female voice rang out a few feet behind them. Tiana turned to see a ginger head standing at a bar looking counter, in her leather pants and animal skin boots. She had a jacket of the same making as the boots, and she wore a long sleeve shirt under it. Tiana and Jessica frowned at her statement and turned to look at Venus and Raphael who were still laughing.“ Why would we be gay”, Tiana asked.“ Don't take it too seriously. Those two are just bored-- I mean there's not much to do hear”,the red head at the bar said taking a swig of a creamy looking liquid. It peaked Tiana's interest but her offense towards the matter was blinding. But she chose to ignore them and instead she directed her next words towards the red head.“
His words kept ringing in her head as she paced back and forth in the dressing room. Jess watched her and was also contemplating her own decisions on the matter. Tiana's granting made it a little impossible for Jess to think.“ I think we should take it”, Jess piped up.“ Take what?” Tiana stopped her movements to give Jess her attention.“ Their offer”, Jess finished her thought with a wince. Huffing Tiana sat down next to her nodding her head in defeat to Jessica's surprise. “ I'm just a kid Jessica, I can't deal with all this. I've so much hope stored inside me but in this situation I have nothing. I'm honestly just tired”, Tiana rubbed at her eyes with the heel of her palm, hiding the tears.“ I understand...... Do you think this other world will be good for us? I mean we are treading our memories, our entire lives for this”, Jess asked after a moments hesitation.“ I think it will give us enough time to grow. We can't guarantee we'd be alive in ten years with how we are living
Present.The insistent beeping of the heart monitor continued on even as Tiana wished for them to just be silent. Though, that would only make her panic, because it was the only assurance that her parents are still alive. She kissed her mum's hand. Her face looked so pale in the florescent lights of the infirmary. She had been watching them for the past three days. She didn't want to trust anyone with their lives and doing that gave her a sense of purpose. She knew she had to find her grandfather, though where he was was a mystery.“ Your majesty ”, a man in a white robe, bowed his head before her before he passed her a letter.She recognized him as the doctor but why was he acting like that. “ What is this?” she asked breaking the seal on the envelope and taking out the folded piece of paper inside. The doctor didn't answer and waited for her to read. He was feeling sorry for her as the letter brought nothing but bad news. Anger sparked in her chest at what she read and it fueled
•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
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
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
" 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
