While Eleanor ran from one side of the room in an excited bid to find out just how different everything was from what she was used to, Andreas went to take a bath.
He was just emerging out of the bathroom all wet and dripping when a strange sound swas heard. Eleanor watched as he walked straight to the door, pulled it open, and spoke english to someone."Thank you.""It's nice to have you here, my King." She heard a feminine voice. It didn't sound like Deitalyn. The chef maybe? Royal families always had chefs."Thank you, Jalta."He made to close the door but not before she heard the same voice say,
"If you are in need of my sexual services, please let me know, my king. I have learnt how to please you and I am more than willing to show you, whenever you are ready."Eleanor's brows rose to her hairline. Who was that!? Turning, she felt Andreas' awkwardness before hearing him say, "Thank you but I won't be needing your services. You may leave."&nbsWhile Andreas took care of the left overs, Eleanor shoved her nose deep in the corners of the kitchen. Everything was so familiar, yet so different! Too busy observing, she didn't notice Andreas watching her. Andreas watched as she went from one part of the kitchen to the other, her genuine curiosity turning him on. She was so original and her originality was so beautiful. As she bent over to examine the oven like device, she unconsciously flashed Andreas a look of her thighs and he was just able to pull his eyes away, only a few seconds before she turned."This kitchen is amazing!" She gushed.Her smile definitely didn't helping matters."How does the stove work?"She asked, walking over to the stone top that sat beneath the small pot of food.As she looked from the pot to his face with her big grey blue eyes, he had to stop himself from cussing."Why are your eyes purple?""Place the pot on the stove top. It's weight sensitive."She nodded slowly, cro
After a series of twists and turns that Eleanor honestly couldn't memorize, they finally arrived at the kitchen."Andreas keeps some pancake flour here," Anna pointed to a cupboard. Eleanor shot her a surprised look and headed for it."He has human food here? Why?""He likes it."Eleanor pulled upen the cupboard doors and indeed, there was a box of pancake mix, some canned vegetables, and some soda cans."Here is some bacon."She turned to find a pack in Anna's hands."We can use this?""Well, you can."Eleanor frowned in wonder but shrugging it off, she looked at Jochelo and asked,"Wanna try something new?"He walked to her and rose his hands. She picked him up and gently dropped him on the counter thingy."Like what?""Pancakes."He frowned slightly. So cute."Is it as sweet as the one you gave me yesterday?""It's delicious, trust me."She taught him a high-five and got to co
Jochelo dragged Eleanor all around the kingdom. By this time, Eleanor had learnt to ignore people stares, no matter how uncomfortable it made her feel. Focusing on what Anna pointed out and where Jochelo took her, it became increasingly obvious that this realm was enormous. It was just like Earth. So huge! She'd had to go through some portals to get to other parts of the realm and it was so exciting. At last, they ended up at Jochelo's house, where Eleanor got to meet Nick's mother, Leo's sister and Anna's husband.Nick's mother, Antana, was a total sweetheart.Leo's sister, Wovira, was bubbly. A lot like Litea.Anna's husband, that man was very brilliant, even in old age! His looks were a huge plus. Seeing them kiss had been the sweetest thing ever. They spent a while together, till Jochelo fell asleep.It had felt like hours, but she'd deflated when Anna told her that it was barely past 1:00 p. m. Deciding to return back to the palace, she allowed Anna and her hu
As soon as they stepped in the hall way, Andreas took a hold of Eleanor's hand and began to lead her away, not caring who saw them. With the thrill of the dance wearing off, Eleanor felt tiredness begin to seep into her with renewed frevor. They got into the room and Andreas turned to face her."I'm not mad at you.""Oh... You aren't?""No."There came her pixie smile."I loved how you painted your mom. She is so beautiful. I don't regret seeing your paintings."He hummed and sat on the bed."You have such talent! I can't even begin to explain," she spoke animatedly. "Remember the drawing I made of you when we were at the Lake?"He nodded once."I'll pay you to never show it to anyone."He rose an amused brow. "Why?""Are you joking?! It's an eye sore!"He chuckled but said nothing.She walked to him and deposit herself in his lap."You sit on me like you have every right to."She looked up at him.... Blinked
The first thing she felt was surprise, before registering that it was an arm around her neck. An arm that was choking her and pulling her away.Panic and fight flared up at the same time as she began to hit at the arm, while at the same time, trying to breathe. Stumbling backwards, she stepped on a foot and instantly sent her heel into something. It made enough contact to hurt because a hiss was heard but the choke hold didn't loosen up. Where was she being pulled to? She suddenly reached back, blindly grabbed a head and shoved her thumbs in the closet things they could reach.His eyes.The male behind her yelled and let her go. She began to run but her hair was suddenly yanked back harshly. Did he have four eyes!? As he pulled her along the floor, she yelled and thrashed, hoping someone would hear her but it was all to no avail. Against her fight, she was pulled into a room and the door was shut. As soon as he let her go, she turned and swung a hard punch, conn
Andreas heard Eleanor's scream and his overwhelming worry was enough to trigger the wizard blood within him for the first time. He teleported.He saw Garion running right towards him.With a bloody body in his arms.She wasn't.... That couldn't be his Bella. It didn't look like her.... The face.... That shouldn't be his Bella!Andreas stopped breathing. Garion was talking to him but he wasn't listening. As Andreas retreated, Kolan came forward.He smelt Vydes powder and roared.Andreas' dragon side, Anariah, stormed forward and lowly said,"Get the balm for Vydes powder." And turned away.Garion was almost glued to the floor in stupified shock. Anariah almost never came forward. He was there.... Always... But he almost never came forward... Till now. That could only mean one thing. He turned and sped away.Anariah took her to the room and gently laid her on the bed. The smell of the poison was strong. Vydes powder was gotten f
The moment she stirred, Andreas jolted awake."Bella-""Sorry, I was just trying move my hand."He adjusted them and felt at a loss when she instantly sat up."Bella-""I have been awake for about two hours.""What?"She looked back and laughed at the look on his face."I slept for only a little while," shestood and almost fell, but caught herself in time. Andreas was bounding off the bed when Eleanor rose a hand to stop him."No, no, I'm fine. Just trying to get used to my legs again.""Let me help you.""No, i-"He was already beside her, holding her hand. She sighed, looked up at him and said,"Fine, but only three to and fro's before letting me go on my own, okay?"He could put his foot down..... But he didn't.He nodded. She counted every to and fro, then smiled at him when the third one passed. He sat and watched her walk slowly."It's almost like I forgot how to walk." She chuckled.
A smile passed from one woman to another. A smile of pride and adoration. It was like time had slowed down because in that moment and at that time, she felt something take seat within her.It was a padlock, locking unto her heart.'Wisdom lacked by many...' she heard in her head.'Anna....' was all she could whisper, before feeling the heat of Alexandra's wielded flame on her bare skin. Keeping quiet wasn't an option. She screamed, but held tightly unto that part of her that wanted to lash out. This wasn't a battle that fists and slaps could settle.It went deeper.So much deeper.Eleanor was being burnt alive, yet, death didn't appear. She felt it all. Every poisonous flame Alexandra was able to wield.... The heat of her scorn.... The pain in Alexandra.... How she felt maltreated and overlooked.... How she felt guilty, yet justified. How she felt lost and possessed.... How she felt defeated.Alexandra finally lowered her
Andreas walked into the house at around past 6 p.m. and headed straight for the bedroom. Eleanor had banned him from leaving the office before due time, assuring him that she was okay and requesting that he focus on work. After that, she'd said nothing to him at all. Not even when he'd begged. She hadn't picked up his calls, nor had she responded to his texts. His only consolation was that her sister had gone to her. When she'd texted him an hour ago telling him that she was leaving, he'd left the office immediately. He was home a whole hour later.Traffic in New York was no joke. He walked into their bedroom, but didn't see her. Checking other rooms, he finally found her in his art room. She was standing in front of the painting of her he'd been planning to gift her with, in nothing but her bright orange lacy bra and panties. She turned to look at him and the look he saw on her face pushed sexy time to the back of his mind.He moved to stand behind her."It's very beautiful," she whi
11 Months later...."Calm down, baby."Eleanor sighed heavily. Pulling her thumb out of her mouth, she looked out of the window of the moving car. The original person who had bought the company from Maxwell Black was coming, and she had been told by Ramone that he wanted to see the lead editor and a few other writers. Her main worry was that he'd find something unsatisfactory and fire someone. Maybe her. Maybe some else. Her nerves were all over the place.She sighed noisily and licked her lips."I can't. I'm so anxious.... I think I'm going to throw up.""Again?" He asked with concern and pulled over. She bolted out of the car and bent over, heaving the nausea away. Moments later, she felt his palm rubbing her back."Are you okay? You haven't even had anything yet."She slowly nodded, feeling the nausea backing away. She'd been feeling funny for the past month, but had refused to go to a hospital. She didn't think it was serious. Just nausea, mid day dizziness, and constant tirednes
They finally made it to the theatre. Andreas marveled at the amount of people at the cinema, so late at night. Eleanor insisted on buying the tickets and to stop her from shocking him as she so vehemently threatened to, he let her. They got into the packed hall and got a seat at the back. Right before the movie started, Eleanor stood, rasping out,"I have to pee. Be right back." She kissed his cheek and ran for the bathroom. She returned four minutes later with a certain look on her face."Ciccino?" She called."Hmm?""Do you know what gaping is?"Andreas gave her a recoiling frown. "Where did you hear that?""Don't be so obvious, but look there," she discreetly pointed to his right."See that dude with the black jacket and brown hair?""The one talking to a lady?""Yeah. He said it to me."Andreas turned back to her. "How?""I was coming out of the female restroom and he was stood right in front of it. He tried to talk to me and as I was trying to avoid his hands, he said I'd look
3 months laterAndreas and Eleanor got out of the car in front of Eleanor's house in New York.Her wounds had healed somehow. They hadn't told her how, but they had thoroughly scolded her on who to save, and what the word 'enemy' meant. After that, she had not been allowed to do a lot. She could only eat, sleep, and squirm away from Andreas' glare whenever she tried to do more. Now, in her prediction, Andreas had been Anna.Faceless voice was over and done with.Somehow, Maloniah had survived.Klitanis had been released into the supernatural realm, but Maloniah and some of his demon friends had been taken into the stone. Andreas had proposed two months later. It had started off with Andreas taking her up to the roof, claiming to want to show her something. He had then sprouted huge white wings, and flown them up high."There are weirdly shaped trees that I think you would like to see."She instantly nodded, her eyes wide. Weirdly shaped trees? How weird?! He flew them to one that wa
"Fuck!" Andreas swore, gritting his teeth when his eyes met Alexandra's. Shaking the crawling pillagers off him, he sprouted wings and flying up, took two lycans with him. Crushing their hands and feet partially in anger and in a bid to end their thrashing, which just resulted in one of them biting into his thigh-which he ignored-he flew over to Adrastos.Dropping the more violent lycan and watching it's hands flail before it's skull cracked open against a rock, he turned to face Adrastos."Alexandra is here."Adrastos' eyes widened. "What!?""She's here! Who set her free?!""I don't know, my king-""Find whomever did it and bring him or her to me.""Do I get her off the battleground?"Andreas cussed. It would cause a distraction. A distraction that they couldn't afford."No. Not yet."While Adrastos shouted, annoyed at the lack of common sense possessed by a few of his kind, Andreas turned to descended. That was when he saw William.
Tension brewed within the group.They approached Eleanor's place and true to their words, in the distance, they saw figures approaching. Getting to the front of the house, they stood.Waiting.Eleanor was more impatient to see if what Esmeralda had given her for her eyes would work.Contact lenses.Esmeralda had explained to her that the eyes of the Fourth spirit held horrors unknown to men. Torture, sadness, anger, bitterness, shame, tranquil torture, hate, you name it, they were all there. They all strove for dominance in his eyes and If she looked really close, she would see them all, fighting with their hypnotizing trade marks on their backs. Looking into his eyes drew out some form of reaction. Be it fear, surprise or even curiosity, it drew out a reaction.An emotional reaction.That was what granted him access to the soul. He needed a reaction as an opening to enter and the lack of a reaction served as a barrier to his entrance. That was
Eleanor awoke to find herself in his realm. The supernaturals hadn't taken lightly to Esmeralda being in their realm. Some leaders were rather shocked, now seeing Eleanor as the ticket to somehow drawing their once peaceful creatures back from the Fourth spirit. Eleanor was cool with it... Till she found out that some planned to kill them for betraying them.She also found out that Daphne had willingly joined the Fourth spirit because Alexandra had tricked her.Also, the supernatural kingdom was carrying out a sweep to seek out betrayers and liars.So much was happening. Esmeralda- who once upon a time was Anna's friend- had told them all of the Fourth spirit's mode of attack, plans, thoughts, changes, the time that was best for him and back up."How can we even trust her!?" Shouted a rather annoying supernatural leader for literally the fiftieth time.Everyone either groaned or shot him aggravated looks, telling him to shut up.He was
It had been an added week with her in the realm of the supernaturals, and she'd found out a bunch of things.One, Everyone looked at her with starlit eyes after finding out that she was the child prophesied about, and she wasn't liking it.Two, Garion like liked her, and was pretty bummed out that she was Andreas' mate, but was happy for them, nonetheless.Three, Daphne had gone missing. She'd only found out when Anna had said it to stop her from asking any more questions, because apparently, she couldn't say exactly what she saw because it would "disrupt things".Four, Faceless voice's witches couldn't see into Andreas' realm.Five, there were portals everywhere, like the one in Lake Creek.Everywhere.She could go anywhere in this world, as long as she found the right portal. Just, what would she say if she ran into a foreign police officer who asked for something she forgot to bring along? Say a passport or an ID card? That
"Deitalyn-" Eleanor turned in the direction she'd seen Deitalyn go off in, but saw Andreas.Andreas!"Even better!" She got off the bed and rushed to him."If I accept that we're soul mates, I'm accepting to a marriage?"His brows dipped at her troubled expression."You don't want to get married?""No- I mean yes, but not right now. We still have to fight faceless voice and kick his crusty old butt!" She enthused, making wild hand gestures."I'll get injured because I'm just like that, and besides, it makes it all the more cooler, walking out of battle in leather pants and thick smoke behind you, with blood dripping down your face, and a sword or something in your hand."Andreas rose a brow."That's just how it's done, son!" She threw out.Andreas fought the urge to slap his forehead."You'll be doing stuff too. I'll have to tend to my injuries and knowing me, it'll take weeks! Knowing Anna, I'll get food shove
