Brielle's POVI was staring at myself in the mirror in a daze when I was pulled out of my reverie by a very familiar hooter. My heart started beating with excitement. I did a once over in the mirror to make sure that nothing was out or place. Not that he would mind but I always want to look my best." Brielle! Blake is here! Come down soon," my grandmother hollered." Yes! In a minute," I returned. I did a touch up on my lips and scrambled to find my purse before dashing down the stairs. In my rush, I didn't even see Blake standing near the buttom of the stairs with his back towards me. I smiled and when he sensed me he turned to meet me.I had no words. All I could was stare at him with a stupid grin on my face. He returned it with a smile of his own. Oh, how I missed him. My feet carried me down the stairs with mind of their own and I found myself leaping into his arms." Woah! My god!" he caught as I buried my face in his chest. He wrapped his arms around me. I don't know why but m
Brielle's POVThe car stopped at his house. I was confused for a while wondering what was going on. But before I had the chance to ask, I saw his mother come out of the house and stood in front. Both of us got out of the car and went ahead to greet her." You both are finally here. Not to worry. Everything is ready."I was lost about what she was talking about." Thank you mother. I knew I could count on you."" Oh, forgive me dear. In all my excitement I forgot to welcome you properly."Again before I could say anything, she hugged me. Not surprised because it is what she does when she sees me. I hugged her back." It's good to see you mother. How have yoy been? " I asked. Since Blake and I are serious, I started calling her mother. It was also because she insisted I address her as such and I didn't see a problem with it." I'm happy to see you too, dear. I am sure you are excited as I am for your dinner date."I blush. It was really a comfort for both our families to be supportive o
Blake's POVSo far, everything was good. We had dinner while chatting about the ups and downs in our lives. The entire time, I was Watching her and listening to her speak. I didn't mind at all. I could look at her all day without a worry because she brings peace to my heart. With just her presence, I feel happy. I lived for days like these. Just the two of us spending time together.I out to give myself a pat on the back. Brielle seemed to be happy with everything I put together for her. I know she enjoys simplicity. That is something that I like about her. If you do something for her, she just takes it as is without any complaints. That is how she is but even if she asks for the world I wouldn't mind giving it to her. She, more than anyone deserves it.We had a nice and quiet dinner. As expected, my mom's food was the best and I can tell that Brielle thought so too because she left nothing on her plate. I was pleased. After dinner, I took her to the pillow set up so that we can watch
Chapter 62Brielle's POVI woke up a while ago and all I could do was replay the events that's just happened. I didn't know how to feel. My emotions where just all over the place. I bit my lip as I remembered the feeling of Blake inside of me. I bit a lite too hard as I felt it sting and a little blood came out. Blake was laying beside me, peacefully while I couldn't. He had his arm wrapped around my waist keeping me close to him. I could feel his body heat transfer to mine. I watched him sleep like a creep but I didn't feel like sleeping.After a while of just watching him and caressing his face, I finally dozed off. While I was asleep, I had a dream. It was a strange dream of Blake and I in our past lives. We were in bed and River wasakinf passionate love to me. It was so vivid and felt so real. A I know is that at that moment, I felt happy. As River was still thrusting into me as I grabbed his arms following his rhythm, he leaned back and I saw him stare at my neck. He opened his m
Rea's POVIt's been so long since I've seen a ray of sun light. Ive been shrouded by darkness and silence. I'm not sure what day it is or what's going on in the world. I just didn't want anything. My life is doomed anyway so I doesn't make sense for me to do anything. I was like a living corpse. It would have been better if I just died instead but I can't. I don't even have the strength or courage to do that. I was just trash.That day kept saying in my mind over and over again, I became trapped in it like a loop. The fear in her eyes, her screams for help and I just did nothing. I let them take her away. I did it to save my own skin. I thought that it was the right thing to do at that time but I realise that I wasn't fucking thinking straight. I didn't such a dispicable thing to her just to save myself. How could I just live my life like nothing happened? Why did I do it?Questions swarmed my mind and I knew the answers. I just didn't want to admit it because it would prove what mons
Brielle's POVThe weekend was over and it was back to school again. I almost didn't come. All I wanted to do was stay in my bed and sleep. Besides, I was starting to miss Blake again even though we parted like a a day ago. I don't know but something is really different since he and I had sex. I wanted him more. I nedded him but I to suppress my desires or else I would go crazy.I was still processing that Blake and I had taken a step further into our relationship and somehow that scared me. I am happy, truly but everything just felt surreal to a point I got scared that I would suddenly open my eyes a d everything would just be a dream. I had to pinch myself to make sure that I wasnt imagining things. I constantly had to touch Blake just to feel that he is real and he is with me.It was luch time and I went to my usual place to have lunch. Outside, under the tree. I still had no friends but I was fine with it. Only one semester left and I would be out of here. When I came here, all I w
Julian's POVI watched Amaya walk away from me. Only God knows how I managed to keep my to keep my calm around her. My hands were itching to choke the life our of her. Or better yet, rip her witchy heart out. It would certainly made me feel so much better but as Xavier said, we can't kill her before she frees us from this darn curse.I went back to the parking lot where Xavier was leasurely napping. I sighed. More than anyone, I was worried about him. Everything hit him hard back then. He got deranged and went on a bloody rampage. I must admit, I lost it as well and I was afraid. We completely fell apart and went through everything together. I had to get strong to make sure that Xavier pulled through, with that, I would too.I got inside the car. I guess he wax deep ion sleep since he didn't notice my presence. I decided not to disturb him and just drove away. It's really hard for him to sleep soundly so he needs it. I drove around for a while, deep in thought. While I was talking to
Xavier's POVAll I wanted to do was rest. I have been getting horrible headaches for a while and I haven't been able to sleep properly. From the day Julian told me Amaya, she has been all that I think about. She consumes my mind, body and soul. Without telling Julian, I decide to go and see for myself what he was talking about. When he told me about it, I was very doubful. I didn't believe that he could have seen Amaya.That was only until I had to see her with my own eyes. There she was sitting under the tree, alone, having lunch as her hair lightly blew in the wind. My body froze. It was Amaya. It was her. Even at a distance I could clearly see it was her. I fought the edge to make my way to her. I couldn't. I continue to watch her discreetly from afar.My heart and mind were conflicted. The truth right now was that she is the woman who I hate the most. I loathe her with every fiber of my being. But the unknown truth, the truth that I denied a million times was that deep down in my
Brielle's POV5 years later"Yay! Mommy I did it, I did it!" River jumped up and down in joy after scoring a goal. Blake ran towards him and picked him up and placed him on his shoulder and spun him around." Good shot my boy! You are a super star!" Blake said to river.Mia got on her feet as well. She pulled me and said, " Mommy, I want to kick the ball too. I can do it too."I smiled at her knowing where this was going. Typical little Mia. Ever since she was born, she seemed to be on her own path. She didn't want to be her brother's little sister. She wanted to be older and better than him. Her competitiveness was cute but a little concerning at time.I remember one time she and River were climbing a tree in the garden. They were competing on who could go higher than the other. Of course River was going to win. She did something surprising. She pulled River's leg and he lost his balance and fell off the tree, breaking his arm.I was so shocked that day I didn't know what to do. She
5 months laterBrielle's POVI didn't know that pregnancy would be such a pain. Mood swings, swollen feet, cravings, back pain, you name it. I never thought one of those pregnant ladies who got emotional over every little thing or get weird cravings but guess what, I am. The other day, I wanted a raw mango. Later it was mint chocolate. I hate mint. It tastes like fucking toothpaste but now that I craved it, I suddenly couldn't get enough of it.My feet got swollen a lot and Blake loved giving me a massage. When I cried and cursed him out for getting pregnant, he never lost his patience with me. Instead, he gathered me in his arms as best as he could and would let me chew him out but in the end, he would whisper sweet nothings into my ear, telling how beautiful I am and how lucky he was to have me. That made me feel a lot better. The garden was my favourite place these days. Just sitting on a rocking chair under the tree watching other little kids running around carefree made my heart
Blake's POVIt's been an hour since I came down as my mother requested. I was sitting amongst everyone but my mind was back with Brielle. Each moment spent away from her, I he'd back from running back to her. I was so lost, everything happening in front of me was a blur. I couldn't be there anymore. I was too restless and it wasn't helping. VI excused myself and made my way upstairs. Opening the door to my room I thought I would find Brielle still laying on the bed but she was no where. I went inside in alarm. Where is she? I looked around the room wandering if she had finally regained consciousness. If she did, where is she? Where did she go without anyone noticing? In what condition is she in?I was about to go search for outside but I heard water running in bathroom. I looked in the direction of the bathroom. She must be in there. I went there and went inside. She had her back facing me. I felt all kinds of emotions flowing through me as I thought my eyes were deceiving me. Not un
Brielle's POV" Relax. I'm not here for that."No soul? Then what? What would a demon be doing here if not to come and collect what he is owed? That is not really what concerns me at the moment. I want to survive. I can't leave yet." What do you want. Tell me!" I acted tough. I can't show that I am scared." Must you always think the worst of me? I came all the way here to help you," he said to me sounding a little offended.I couldn't make out whether he was serious or just pulling my leg for fun. Right now, I am desperate and I am afraid that what ever dispicable schemes that Kael came with, I might just fall for. But at this point, what could be worse than promising him my soul?I decided to hear him out. It's not like I have any other choice anyway." Fine. I'll listen to what you have to say. I warn you that I am not in a tolerant mood so this better be worth it."He snickered." I might be a demon from he but I'm not as bad as you think. No matter. We will have all the time in
2 weeks laterBlake's POVI was sitting beside Brielle as she slept peacefully. It's been a very rough fortnight. Ever since that night, everything has been bleak. As the days go by without any change from her I get scared. The baby is fine but Brielle won't wake up. I am afraid that she might stay in such a state for a long time. What of our child. She might not get to see the baby be born. I was at a dead end in what to do. I blame myself. I should have tried with my all to stop her from performing that darned ceremony. It almost cost her life.For all those days, I refused to leave her side. Anything could happen and I don't want to be away. I stayed in the room all day and had my meals sent here. I made sure that it doesn't get suffocating. I opened the windows during the day and let fresh air come in during the day, I handle everything she needed and I wasn't comfortable with letting other people do it.I always made sure to talk to her hoping that she can hear me and hang on to
Brielle's POVIt was now the moment we have been waiting for. This part of the ritual had to be done by me. Now that we have acquired the hell fire, it was time I do what I was meant to do so we can finally part ways with Julian and Xavier." Deceiving us was wrong, Kyra but I'll consider that you ultimately helped us in the end. Let us complete the final step and then all of us will then go our sepernt ways."" Thank you for understanding. I will find a way in the future to repay you."We went to another room with Julian and Xavier with us.I had the flame with me and it's still surreal that I went through such lengths to get it. I wasn't going to complain. My soul doesn't matter if it means that I get to keep my family safe and ensures that we do not suffer the same tragedy all of over again. No matter how had I tried, I couldn't bring myself to have faith in their word. It was my mistake back then. This is just Rte price to fix it." Alright. What do I need to do to get get this ov
Blake's POVI've been playing along with what Kyra said for long enough. Now that this demon has been summoned, I'm not going to let my guard down or stay back. My duty here is to protect Brielle until everything is over. And that Kyra, she completely deceived us. She never mentioned that she knew this Kael demon. Why would she do that? Something about this just doesn't feel right." Whats the price for the flame?" Brielle asked. I still didn't let her come in front. Whatever happens, I will stand in front her like a shield. It's a good thing she wasn't protesting." Mmh, nothing much. I just need a soul. One should for this exchange," Kael said nonchalantly like what he wants was a piece of cake." Any soul?" Brielle askedI turned to look at her. Her expression was cold as she looked at Kael." No, not just any soul. I've been surrounded by rotten souls for such a long time. This time, I want a pure soul.. If you can manage that, then we have a deal."Something with the way he was l
Brielle's POVThings were proceeding as planned. It's been four days since we visited Kyra. Tonight was the night we perform the summoning ceremony. As for Xavier and Julian, Blake has already dealt with them and they understand everything about the ceremony. We informed everyone as well and they were worried but supportive as well.I blame myself for everything that is going on. If I just did not put that spell on them, they might have not been in our lives right now. If only I could turn back time. I would be able to set a lot things right. But enough about that. I can't do anything about that but I can so something right now. I should get ready. It's going to be a difficult night.I was in the room when I heard someone knock on the door." Come in," I saidMorgan came inside the room. She looked worried. She's been trying to stop me from going. I understand that age is concerned but I can't stop now." I'm just here to wish you luck before you. I would hate for you to leave without
Brielle's POVI was nervous the whole time but I glad I was with Blake. What Kyra was saying made a lot of sense. Although I never read too much into it, I know that no living ham can acquire hellfire. I was just hoping there would be an easy way out of this mess.I was a witch but I must admit that I never got to fully develop. I was a novice witch. I can't say I wish I stayed at the coven with my mother bacause then my life would have been miserable. I lived her but she was a control freak. She wanted to keep me sheltered and away from the world. I felt like a bird in a cage. I wanted to go out and experience the world, live amongst the people and be a part of the bigger world.I get that sh wanted to protect us but I didn't want to live in darkness without ever experiencing the beauty of the world and life. In any case, it's all in the past. What's done is done. Even so, I hope to become a better mom to my child. I hope I can do it.Blake looks at me when Kyra mentioned a demon pac
