The day for the surgery arrived like a harsh wind. Hazel was very unsure how to feel, the fact that the fate of her grandmother's continued existence would be determined this very day. She held very tightly unto her hand by the hospital bed, clinging unto it for dear life.She had already gotten used to the hospital smells, the blue and white colors all around and the sense of looming sadness in the air. Yet she very much longed to go home. Even her grandma was tired of being cooped up all day. The lady was fond of taking walks in the evenings. She had more than once, expressed her desire to return home. Where the air was more homely, more familiar and less full of medicines, antiseptics and sky blue curtains and sheets. "Everything will be fine." The woman assured, clasping her other hand over her daughters hand.That was silly, she should be the one assuring her that everything would be fine, not the other way round. But she just couldn't even muster the courage herself. How cou
"You have to leave the house immediately. Are you still in there?" Luca asked her, his voice growing stern with worry across the line."No" she breathed, "I have left the house now, but I am still in the area.""You cannot be seen around there, you have to live. Whoever it is might still be lingering." H explained "I will have a car stop by and pick you up immediately, I am on my way home." "Okay." She breathed, exhausted.It was already late night, the street were dark except for a few lit orange lamps hangings by the windows of a few stores and a street light not far of from where she stood.The soft evening breeze woodshed past her, spraying her dark brown hair all over her face. She shuddered slightly from the cold, clinging her left hand unto her jean jacket. She was standing just close to a small grocery shop. The attendant was an old lady, arranging the contents and items in her shop, it seemed she was about to close up and would soon turn of her lights. She hummed to herself
The lanky man glared solidly for a while at the person in the car, with a reluctant grunt, he turned, staggering away into the night. Hazel turned to the car, breathing harshly with her hands wrapped around herself. Lucinda stared back at her with an amused smirk. "Get in, princess." She said.The door behind opened on completion and turning around to observe her surroundings, she grabbed the car handle, hopping in and shutting it behind her immediately, sliding into the sleek black leather sheets of the vehicle."Hi my lady." A voice came from the passenger seat beside Lucinda. Hazel yelped, startled as she turned to stare at the man starring back at her."Don't be startled, I don't bite." He chuckled, "or at least at won't bite you." He winked. "Luca would have my head if I did." He grinned."Luke..." Lucinda gritted, swatting her and across his shoulder. He gave her a sideways glare, before reaching his hand for a handshake with Hazel. "I am Luke, Luca's right hand man, and ha
The car screeched to a halt at the hospital parking lot, and Lucy and Luke got out of the car at the same time, looking the epitome of a main character as they shut the doors in sync. Hazel got out behind them, sighing in relief. They had arrived in once piece to her utmost surprise. She was very thankful.She rubbed her hands against the pocket of her jeans, exhaling the cold air through her lips. The trio stood in the hospital parking lot, the night sky hovering above them and housing a thousand skies. They silently watched a young boy push a wheelchair through the glass doors and out the hospital towards a vehicle, strangely, the old lady and the young boy in the wheel chair seemed to keep their eyes in their direction.Hazel chuckled to herself, she was sure people like Lucy and Luke would draw direction in every direction they went with the way they looked like movie stars. "Here we are." Lucy mumbled, "lead the way Hazel.""You are coming in with me?" She asked, turning to
Luca came back that same night, really late. It was past midnight when he walked into the hospital ward, exhaustion dimming his eyes. He strut in quietly, shutting the door behind him. Hazel and Anna were both asleep. Anna was curled up on her chair, with Hazel resting her head on her back. Neither seemed very comfortable. He walked back to the receptionist. "I want to see the doctor in charge of Mrs. Jacobs." He demanded.The lady peered up at him from her counter with a sarcastic face that immediately morphed into a tense smile as she recognized him."Of course sir." She grinned, grabbing the telephone on her table. He contemplated waking Hazel hope, walking over to her side and staring at her sleeping face.Even asleep right now, she still seemed stressed, like she was having a bad dream. Her brows were furrowed lightly and her lips partly agape as she exhaled.Was she having a nightmare?Her eyes snapped open immediately, coming in contact with his. He expected her to be st
Anna and Hazel were tucked into bed in the very same room she slept in anytime she was at the mansion. Perhaps it was third time here now, and all she could do was stare at the wall. Her mind was fully awake, all sleep seemed to have faded from her eyes suddenly and all she could think of now was that she was getting married tomorrow. Tomorrow? Scratch that, today! It was two am already, she would be married in hours! Only a few hours and she would be thrown into a wedding gown and whisked down the altar and into a life she was not in the least prepared for. She was experiencing cold feet right now in this very moment, yet... Was there any backing out at this point?Luca had stuck to his side of the bargain, he had paid for all the expenses they made during her grandmother's surgery, and now she was out of the theatre and soon to be recovered. And when the rest of this deal is over, she would have another thirty million dollars to her name. What was she explain to her grandmother?
It doesn't feel like a wedding morning.Infact, Hazel is not even sure what a wedding morning is supposed to feel like. She sits up in her bed with her face leaning on her palm as she stared out the window, she had gone to bed pretty late yes, but she had still managed to find herself awake at seven am. Perhaps that could be blamed on her internal alarm clock, which usually would wake her no later than six am if she had gone to bed a little earlier the night prior. She turned to her left where Anna was still snoring softly, completely immersed in whatever dream was causing that shadow of a smile on her face.What was to happen now?Hazel thought to herself. When she pictured a wedding morning, she has pictured it would be something abuzz and full of rigourous running around to make everything perfect, just like it had been when they were making arrangements for Alva's engagement. Right now, she wasn't even sure what kind of wedding was going to take place. She had played no part in
Hazel reached out carefully for the tray, grabbing a waffle, she begun to eat quietly, solemnly.The maids filtered in the bathroom to prepare a bath for her.They filled the bathtub with water and readied it with bubbles, some milk and soothing fragrance oils. "My lady, the bath is ready, you have to eat a bit quickly." One of the maids said to Hazel, bowing her head lightly.She nodded her head firmly, swallowing her food as she stood from the bed. "it's fine, I think I am done eating."She could barely muster an appetite at this point even.She reached for her the edge of her dress to take her clothes off. "Let us help you my lady." One of the maids said. "No it's okay" she protested with a weak smile, "I will shower by myself.""But my lady, you know we cannot allow you do that, especially not today." The one who seemed to be in lead stepped forward sternly, disagreeing firmly."I can shower by myself, it is not a problem, you have already done enough by running me a bath." Haze
"Luke she is bleeding out... What do we do?" Luca stared frantically at Hazel, they had untied her and she was laying on the floor.Alva was in a corner in a pool of her own blood. So was Jace, and the demon.Luca had shifted back into a human, he carried Hazel in his arms, his heart beating frantically. He could feel her spirit fading... He could feel it in the depths of his heart. It caused him fear and panic to feel her slipping away. "I might have to bite her Luca... It is the only way." Luke breathed worriedly, "and if I do she would have Vampire venom in her, meaning she might no he able to bear you an heir."Luca stared at her on the ground where she was dying.He knew there was no time. It is now or never, he has to do something to save her. "Luke... Do whatever you can please, she is more important to me than anything in the world. I just want her to live." He begged. Luke nodded his head in understanding, he reached forward, taking her in his arms, he paused for a momen
"Wake up!" It came with a loud splash of water upon her skin. Hazel woke with a loud scream, panting and out of breath she stared into the eyes of her would be killer. She felt tears well up in her eyes. That woman....that woman in that strange dream looked like her. A lot like her. It looked as though she was being shown something..... being told a story of something that could have very much have been a previous life. She wanted to stay there, she wanted to not wake up from it. She wanted to understand her connection to that strange woman."You have the audacity to fall unconscious do you not?" Alva sneered at her. "You will not sleep for a second under my watch Hazel Jacobs, not unless it is in your death!" Alva Rogers concluded. Hazel's eyes fell to the ground, she had no words to say.Her spirit was weak and her willingness to fight and beg was already melting away. Perhaps she was starting to realize... Starting to come to terms with the fact that she could not plead her
Luke paced back and forth. He was tracing out all the details of his plan in mind, doing his absolute best to leave no stone unturned in his mission. Luca was seated in a corner of the room, food and water hand not touched his moth since his wife went missing.They were begining to fear for his wellbeing. His eyes were droopy and he was barely talking to anyone. He seemed so out of touch with his current surroundings. So much that they all feared he was already losing his mind. He would not talk at all when spoken to and any food brought before him was quickly pushed or kicked away. They learned to leave him be for a while. "Will he be okay?" Laz asked as he gazed upon his brother, his heart was filled with pity for him. None of then had ever seen Luca this way before.He was always very strong.... Always very strong in every situation... Not even once had something like this occured to anyone in there lineage for a very long time. "I believe he will..." Luke breathed. "What
"Alva you do not have to do this please I beg you." Hazel pleaded, her hand gripping the edge of her seat.Alva shook her head with a sinsiter smile written on her face as he toyed with the kinde in her hand. "You can beg all you want my dear but I already explained this to you... I have to do this. there is no other way.""Alva... you are are so out of your mind!" Hazel wailed, tears brimming at her eyes."Watch it!" Alva yelled at her, tossing a slap across her face."Argh!" Hazel winced as the pain tore through her left check, tears brimming in her eyes. Alva shook her her had at her. "I told you already, you are the one who is tied up and I am the one who has a knife so if I were you I will be very careful about whatever I am doing." she warned.Hazel whimpered as she lowered her head to the ground. she reached out to the depth of her hear, calling for Luca. He might not be a human being, but he cared for her, that she was sure of, that was enough for her. That man cared for h
When Hazel's eyes finally fluttered open, she woke up in her bed in her and Luca's room. Rays of sunlight were seeping in through her window and strangely enough, all the pain she felt from the night before was gone.The memories came rushing to her like a speeding train and her eyes widened in memory of it all. "Hazel... Are you okay?" She turned her head quickly to see Luca standing by the foot of the bed. His eyes were reddish, his hair entirely rough. He still had his clothes in from last night, stained by dirt and dust, and even a smear of blood. She stared at him with cold eyes, feeling bile rise in the back of her throat. Luca walked towards her cautiously with worried eyes, reaching for her face with his fingers. "Hazel are you okay?" He asked again. "Do not touch me." She snapped, flinching away. Luca's eyes widened, and he took a step back, watching her cautiously. "I am sorry I did not mean...""To lie to me?" She seethed, glaring daggers at him. Luca stared at he
Hazel is perched at the edge of her that evening, a strange feeling of distraught weighs upon her shoulders as she waits for Luca's return. She does not know what she will tell him when he returns but she knows what she would ask him for... The truth. One way or another, the truth has to come out tonight.By hook or by crook, she will not allow herself be left in the dark anymore by these people who absurdly believe that they knew what is best for her. Who absurdly think that leaving her in the dark is best for her! If tonight is truly a full moon as Luke had said, then either way she will find out the deal with this red book and what this mystery writer is trying to tell her. She rubbed her face with her palms wearily. She was starting to feel sleepy yet nothing would make her yield into it. Luca should be back by evening as promised. It was starting to get dark afterall, so he should be home anytime soon. They had long since stopped eating dinner downstairs at the table with
Hazel sat on the edge of the bed that night with the book in her hands and her elbows leaning against her thighs.She knew not what to do with this piece of information, what was all these implying?She turned to Luca on the bed where he lay still, breathing softly. His chest rising and falling. He looked so at peace.His long lashes were fluttered closed and his hand was resting upon his chest, which rose and fell in a peaceful state. What was the writer implying? What did the wolf things mean? Is Luca some sort of.... Shape shifter?That is not even possible that is the kind of stuff that happens in fairy tales and folklore. There is simply absolutely no way in heavens any of it could be real. Right?Hazel remembered the second paragraph of the damned note again. Cut him with a knife?Never, not even she was crazy she would not dare cut her husband with a knife. Especially not over some stupid note written by some obscene mystery writer. Luca belongs in her heart now. He ha
They had both entered the shower together after they had both had their fill of each other. He washed her with his hands. She felt pretty sore down there and she could barely stand on her own.He had prepared a bath for her by himself and carried her from the bed gently, she was already very tired and sleepy. How could she not be? She had had two more orgasms when he slipped into her. Her legs were weak and the area between her legs was sore from the size and action of his member inside her. She enjoyed every moment of it no doubt, she was quite sure she would be ready for another pretty soon. Luca circled her with his arms and pressed a kiss against her forehead. They were both sweaty and in need of a shower so he carried her to the bat tub he had already prepared, gently laying her in the water. He entered behind her and they both soaked in the bubble bath. He begun to wash her body for her not long later. She closed her eyes, enjoying the sensations of his hand against he
His lips enclosed around her nipples and she moaned, tangling her fingers into his hair. His fingers found there way to her panties again, parting it and sliding into her lower lips. He pumped his fingers in and out sensually, while his lips continued their suckle around her breasts. Whimpers and moans continued to escape her lips continually. The sound of her pleasure filling the room as she drew closer closer to her climax. Luca pulled away for a brief moment to admire the look of sheer pleasure on her face. He moved his fingers faster and her grip around him tightened, her moans increasing. "Yes... Please don't stop..." She pleaded. Luca smiled, he no intentions of stopping at all. He was enjoying this too, almost as much as she was. The look on her face, the sounds eliciting her lips, all of it was a perfect combination to drive him mad. His hardness impossibly worsened as she bit down on her lower lip. "I am so close..." She whimpered, thrashing around slightly on the
