Leonna had just left her home late that day, she was waiting for other young girls to be done filling their containers with water and head home while she quietly walks down there to fetch some for herself, she just wanted to ensure that she avoided having an encounter with them and of course avoid the bullies and so many insult they would remain on her which always leaves her sleepless at night.
The previous day had ended so well for her after she saved Terry from drowning, she had been unable to get his thought of her head especially his cute face and the way he smiled at her, over and over again she tried to shake the thought off her head despite being glad that she was there on time to save the young men else he would be a dead man now.
She had been sitting in front of her small house for long when she finally decided to go ahead and fetch water from the river believing that the girls must have all gone home but she was rather wrong and she only realized that after
The girls bursted into laughter making mockery of her statement and pain, Leonna felt even more terrible now and wished she didn’t say anything at all.“What a perfect speech by a stupid girl, is it our fault that your stupid, is it our fault that you’re a witch and you ended up killing your entire family? Is it also our fault that you’re so poor that you look like a riffraff? Take a good look at yourself and take a look at us” the first girl said with so much pride turning around slowly while the other girls giggled loudly “can’t you see how different we look from you? We dress well, we have nice dresses, we eat good food all because we didn’t destroy our family just like you destroyed yours!” The girl cursed in anger.Leonna shook her head “I didn’t kill my family and you all know it, they died in the war, why are you making me feel like their death was my fault, non of it was ever my fault and it woul
Zara looked worried, she paced for room wearing a sad face, her hands comfortably placed in front of her while she constantly shook them over and over again, her eyes were glued to the ground and her feet didn’t seem to be hurting as she have been pacing her room for a couple of hours, she was a little bit scared about Joshua’s delay in coming to her house just like they have agreed, she was scared that he might have changed her mind and she won’t be able to set her eyes on her daughter Diana. She had dreamed of seeing Diana all night, she had dreamed of hugging her closely and watching her explain in details why she eloped with the human, she had imagined Diana coming back home with her and apologizing to everyone while explaining in details why she left but right now it seemed that that dream, all those beautiful imagination of hers would never come to pass as Joshua was no where to be found around her house.She took a deep sigh refusing to give into her
Carmella got to her room huffing and puffing, her mother’s last question really got to her and she understood that she was right, what if Diana returns and somehow regains her memory then definitely she would be doomed for ever, she shook her head in fear “that would never happen, over my dead body would I be made to suffer for it, I only did what I felt was right after all she stole what rightfully belongs to me, assuming she never got married to Joshua, non of this would have never happened, but because she was so greedy and selfish, she accepted to marry a man who was supposed to be my husband just to make me feel intimidated, as far as I am concerned, she deserved what she got, I just still do not understand how she survived that fall, like… it’s totally impossible to survive falling off that cliff especially at her condition then” she mumbled in anger.She moved over to where she kept the bottle Azora had given her and placed it comfortably
Melanie moved the strokes of hair that had found it’s way across her face dangling as the wind blew it here and there, she fixed them behind her ears shutting her eyes as the wind blew helplessly past her face brushing them smoothly, she could see the dry leaves which laid on the floor moving from here to there, she smiled at the beauty of nature agreeing to the fact that truly life was beautiful but was her life in particular beautiful at all? All that she had heard and discovered today were way too much for her to digest at once, for a moment she was beginning to wish that she was dreaming or perhaps she wished she never got well, maybe she wouldn’t be feeling as hurt as she felt at the moment, her heart was hurting badly, she felt like she had been stabbed with a dagger but she wondered how humans could be this cruel, how could a man and woman who call themselves are best friend and husband be this cruel towards her, she wondered what her crime was and what she had do
Melanie shook her head desperately “what are you talking about and who is Diana? My name is Melanie, Melanie Clifford” she answered taking glances at their faces.Zara shook her head at once “who told you that? What happened to you? Your real name is Diana, you are my daughter and you suddenly disappeared when you were sixteen” she turned to Joshua and pointed at him “that is your husband Joshua, the king of our clan.”Joshua nodded walking closer hoping that Zara’s words convinces Diana.Melanie was speechless, she couldn’t believe what she was hearing “another husband? I am already married, I have a husband, who the hell are you people and what are you talking about?” She asked feeling totally confused, she had already heard a lot today and accepting this very fact that even her name was a lie was too much to digest, like… how exactly was she to take all these news?She shook her head de
Zara gulped hard “it was really true, she looked totally confused, she doesn’t remember or know anything, she just looked like a helpless child whom is still learning how to speak and walk.”Zara held her hand “that is the truth, you don’t belong to that world out there, come back home with us and we would resolve all these.”Melanie shook her head “you all are making a big mistake, I assure you, you are making a mistake” she laughed softly hoping someone could just wake her up from the horrible dream she was having at that moment.Zara grabbed her hand tight and looked straight into her eyes, Melanie was shocked to look down at her hand, furs were growing out, it was changing quickly into that of animal, she let out a loud cry “stop it, please stop it” she pleaded.Carmella who had been following them heard Diana’s scream and followed it at once, she heed behind a rock and watched with dee
He placed his hands on her shoulder “you disappeared from the clan just two months after our marriage, I was able to find you few months back and it broke my heart to hear you call a human “your husband” I have always loved you right from our childhood days and dreamed of spending the rest of my life with you, I don’t care about whatever that happened between you and the human Diana, I know you still love me very much as much as I love you and we can always make this work, we can fix things, just come back with me to the clan and explain yourself, come back and tell mother how the human bewitched you, I can’t see myself living the rest of my life without you.”Melanie gulped hard, Joshua sounded too sincere to be lying but she felt it would be stupid of her to believe this stranger she just met and follow him to God knows where, she took a glance behind remembering that she had a mystery to uncover, she remembered that she had a beautiful d
Rose flung her bag to a corner in her bedroom, she was fuming with rage and wondered how long she would be in control of her emotions cause she was so sure she was loosing it, she could feel her whole world, efforts and patience crumbling right in front of her eyes yet she can’t do anything to save the day, she moved over to the living room slipping her shoes of her feet and flinging them to God knows where, she found a bottle of alcohol lying peacefully in the bar, she picked it up and and poured in a large amount into a glass cup, she gulped them down at once like it was just ordinary water, she poured in another into the glass and burst into tears, her black expensive eye liner mixed up with her tears and rolled down her cheeks forming thin dark marks all over her face, she mumbled in tears and quickly drank up the drink in the cup, she scoffed shaking her head, she was about pouring in more into the cup when she paused wondering why exactly she needed the cup when she coul
Carmella left the room angrily, she walked into her room and met Leonna cleaning it, she went straight to her and grabbed her by the hair "you little bitch, you really want to reap where you did not sow huh?"Leonna groaned in pain totally unaware of what Carmella was talking about "what have I done?" She cried out."You want to become queen huh? You want me to bow at your feet?" She yelled pushing her to the wall.Leonna hit her head on the wall turning around slowly with her forehead bleeding slightly, their were equally blood stains on the wall, she could feel heavy headache on her head too, Carmella cared less about that her bleeding forehead "it would be over my dead body that I would allow you marry Terry, listen to me, you won't and would never marry him, he belongs to me and me alone, I have always been the one he loved, not some low life like you" she said wagging her finger at her.She shook her head sadly, she just couldn't believe that all the yelling was just because of T
The day was gradually coming to an end, Terry retired to his room, he had actually started occupying Joshua's chambers, he had sent for Leonna who arrived few minutes later standing by the door."Come in and shut the door..." He said on seeing her.Leonna was scared, she just didn't want to come anywhere close to him, never have she imagined that Terry was evil but today she witnessed him treat a wolf who have loved him like a brother like an enemy and that was something she wouldn't forget in a hurry, she shut the door and stood by it with her hands properly folded."Please sit,I want us to talk" he said."I don't want to, whatever you want to say, please say it now, I was busy before you sent for me" she said looking away.Terry sighed walking closer to her, he knew that she was angry with him, he cleared his throat "we have always liked each other alot and because of the rules guarding the palace, we couldn't show our feelings properly nor have a good relationship, when I said that
"What... What did you just say Azora?" Zara asked standing to her feet.Azora laughed "you haven't told them yet? How you were so jealous of your kid sister cause she married the man of your dreams and you decided to end her life just to have him all to yourself yet it took you so many years to get married to him, did you also tell them how you asked me for powers to get rid of her when she found out that she was still alive, how you went to poison her but ended up poisoning yourself, how you went the second time but disgraced yourself and showed your real face cause you always take the form of her human husband's personal assistant's face? She never eloped with a human just like she always claims, Diana is a survival of attempted murder by her own sister! and did you also tell them that you have pushed her off the cliff the second time? poor girl.. I doubt if she would survive this time around.""I survived...." Diana said walking into the throne room, her hands were dripping of blo
By the time he got to the palace, what he saw was what he didn't expect, someone else was sitting on her mother's throne and Terry sitting on his, could this be a dream or what?" He thought "what are you doing Terry? Why are you sitting on my throne?" He asked turning to see his mother, the queen, Zara,Maria and Leonna sitting on the floor."I don't get this Azora, this is not our agreement, why the hell would you ask a servant to sit on my husband's throne?" She yelled in anger."He has equal rights as your so called husband does and therefore deserves this throne better" Azora said with a proud smirk on her face.Joshua was shocked "and what is that supposed to mean? Would you get off that throne this minute!" He yelled at Joshua trying to grab him."If you dare touch me, trust me brother you wouldn't like what I would do to you, I have every right to be on this throne and if you're still so confused, maybe you should ask your beloved mother here" Terry said pointing at pointing at
Zara left her house at once without saying another word to Joshua, Leonna followed her at once,the king looked totally speechless, he turned to Diana "stay here, I would be right back."Diana shook her head in disapproval "I can't, I must go with you.""But it might be dangerous" he explained."I don't care, I am going with you" she said sadly grabbing his hand.The king sighed, it was truly obvious that he had no other choice but to allow her follow him just like she wants, few minutes after they left the palace, Joshua was feeling really pressed, so he asked Diana to wait for him under a tree while he goes to ease himself, while he was doing so Carmella crept from behind, she was actually on her way to her mother's house when she saw the king walking side by side with Diana holding her hands, he didn't notice her presence as he was backing her, Carmella grabbed a log of wood which was lying on the floor and hit it behind his head, Joshua fell on the floor and passed out at once, she
She arrived the palace and fear gripped everyone at once but before the guards in the palace could attack her, she bewitched them and made them bow at her feet while she grinned with so much delight feeling so fulfilled. Leonna was just done massaging Carmella's leg and had walked out of her room in tears when she noticed something awkward going on in front of the palace, she noticed a strange woman on a black rope chanting some words and making everyone bow at her feet, fear took grip of her and she fled at once to the back of the house running as fast as she could to inform the king of what was going on since she had seen him leave earlier and was so sure he had gone to see Diana and her mother.Carmella noticed a weird kind of silence and walked out of her room looking at each corner of the palace in fright, she could tell that something was wrong, she walked into the throne room and saw Azora standing there,she gasped and at the same time smiled walking majestically to stand in fr
At once he left his room to meet his mother and Carmella in the throne room, he tried greeting her to release him but she bluntly refused, for the first time he witnessed his mother swear over and over again to deal with Terry, she stood up pointing fiercely at her son “he brought that woman into this palace, she is not and will not be accepted here, I might spare her life and pardon her for what she did to the royal family, after all we have her elder sister here with us now to take her place but I would never accept her into this palace.”The king chortled “then get ready to loose your son and the king of this land” he said walking out on them.Queen Emma gasped in confusion.Carmella stood up and ran straight to her room shutting the door behind, she looked so upset, she turned the mirror and started summoning Azora and in no time she could see her image in the mirror , with so much bitterness behind her voice she told her all that was happening at that moment and Azora told her wh
Few hours later, they arrived the village and the palace in particular, the wedding ceremony have been conducted as people could be seen dancing and eating, Zara whose face was covered with sadness was about leaving the palace when she sighted Diana in the company of Terry, she gasped in shock “Diana!” She called out in a loud tone.That instant every where was silent, the music stopped, everyone turned around staring at Diana who looked totally confused, a palace guard ran into the palace building, the king, queen and Carmela were in the throne room when he came to inform them of the latest development, Carmella was the first to run out of the throne room to confirm what the guard had said, on stepping out she saw Diana standing beside Terry, it was obvious that he was the one that brought her back home “I knew it that he would do whatsoever it takes to ensure that my happiness is completely snatched away from me” she muttered feeling so upset, the queen and the king were soon outsid
Melanie had slept off in the hospital after having a good time with her daughter the previous day, she actually spent the night on the couch pondering over what Joshua had told her that evening especially about the wedding, she felt irritated and upset and wondered how many more evil people existed in the world if her own sister could go as far as wanting to marry her husband, her eyes gently went open when she heard footsteps approaching the ward, she felt really weak and her body ached a lot, she looked up and there stood the female doctor who have been taking care of her daughter, she smiled at her “good morning…” she greeted almost in a faint tone. The doctor smiled at her in response as they both stepped outside few minutes later to have a conversation after she was done checking on Brenda who was still very much asleep.Melanie cleared her voice “so when can we go home doctor?” She asked politely.“You’re free to go today, she’s okay, the least you can do is bring her twice ever
