“ His face struck me more speechless... I have never seen a face like this before...”
~ Lora ~
The morning arrived quicker than I expected. The ray of sunshine peeled through the windows as I woke up.
I looked around and got a more unobstructed view of the bedroom I was in.The walls, the decorations, the design, to talk of the bed I was on, everything was breathtaking.I barely covered any space in the bed. I was like an ant in the seashore.I've been three weeks here in this house. I like it here, I've never been in such a place like this before.It was warm and loving...Although, I'd say Acacia was kinda a loving and warm home too or even,,, a lot better.Elena likes to take take care of me as if I was a little girl and even though, I'm thankful for it.I really really want to learn how to do things myself.Everything has been great with Lucas too.After that night of the dinner at the golden hal“ My wandering thoughts are greater than my problems... ” ~ Lora ~“ So tell me Lora, how is it being a human? ” she asked instead.“ Fun, fabulous, great, amazing. You can add more if you want to. Life being a human is all about understanding but nowadays, a lot of people lacks this understanding. ”“ Talking about the hunters? ”I glanced at her for awhile, “Yes. I'm talking about the hunters. ”We paused for some minutes, letting silence evaporate the atmosphere around us."Have you ever thought of the hunters being scared of us?" She asked, breaking the silence.I shrugged, pretty sure they wouldn't.They've got this mind of finding demons, why would they be scared of them?"No. They wouldn't, would they?" I replied with a question."The hunters are just as weak as mere humans. They prove strong with their weapons. They knew Demons weren't in Acacia, they just wanted to pl
“ I hated Demons... But when I saw him... Everything changed... ” ~ Lora ~I was in Lucas room. Actually not really his bedroom, it was a place he spent most of his time.It was colder than outside, or it could be just my own instinctive fear that made me shiver all over.I glanced around in panic, the windows were tightly shut.Few minutes later, he arrived from nowhere which got me terried the more.My chest hurts at his words. What does it mean we need to talk?If he wants me to tell him anything, I really don't want to, perhaps I've got none to talk about."A-About?" I asked digging my nails in my thighs.He halfway smiled, "Nothing bad. I just want to let you know that I'd be leaving-"" Leaving?! " I cut him short." Yes, tonight. It's a week trip. I decided to let you know in case you never see me around. "Leaving? Why would he be leaving? Why now?Sadness
~ Unknown ~"Prince Lucas has arrived, your majesty," A guard informed before opening the door to a room that seemed to be a room for meetings."Lucas!" His eyes darted to where the sound came from.A tall man dressed in a royal red garment stood in the middle of the room, a smile plastered on his face as he walked closer to Lucas."Your majesty " Lucas replied, bowing.This man was tall and seemed to be in the mid- thirties. His dark shoulder-lengthhair perfectly matched his sun-kissed skin.With the scars on his face that stretched from his eyebrow down to the lower eyelash of his left eye, his ocean blue eyes still were amazing.He was good looking..."Oh! Please," the king said, waving his hands. " I thought we had dropped the formalities.""You're still the king, father." Lucas said while he smiled. "You called for me. Is there a problem?" Asked Lucas as they sat on the massiv
“ It's been centuries... But a day is worth while seeing you again... ” ~ Unknown ~Lucas made his way to his chamber. He wished to go back to the fortress without worrying about anything, but when he walked into his room he found his mother instead.Nyk sat next to the window, sewing what looked like a butterfly on a white cloth.She looked up at him with a smile, her eyes twinkling just as every time she saw him.It was like she was looking at the stars or something more magical, more beautiful."Lucas," she said his name with such longing. " Look..." She held the white cloth. " Isn't it beautiful?"She held it as if it was the most precious thing in the world."It's beautiful." Lucas said."I do so many of those when I was pregnant with you, imagining how wonderful it would be when I make one of this as your blanket. " She looked at the white cloth while she spoke.Lucas kn
“ Love me... Or hate me... ” ~ Lora ~I felt something fluttering in my heart, scaring me and fluttering me at the same time.It seemed as if this week was passing fast just to make Friday get faster, as if the universe kind of knew I wanted it to come.Knowing Lucas was returning back today was something amazing and I couldn't get it off of my mind.I lost the mind of having anything and Elena knew there isn't any progress convincing me this time.My happiness was in no limit but I didn't let anyone know the source of my happiness, I wouldn't mind Elena knowing either.The day ran faster than the blink of an eye, and I knew time was only doing me a favour.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [THAT NIGHT]Nightfall came, I got a little worried why there wasn't any sigh of Lucas showing up.Oh! I forgot, demons does their things at night.Maybe, I just have to wait a little
“ Dreams... Nightmares... ” ~ Lora ~I strolled around the garden before sitting under a tree to take a rest.The days aren't meant for caging oneself in the room, right?The air blew towards my direction causing me to shiver.The way the green grasses bent in response to the wind was so fantastic that it caught my attention to it.The butterflies flew around, especially the ones with the different colors.Talking of the birds, my ears were attentive to those melodic songs even though I didn't know what they were singing.Everywhere, everything about this fortress was so glorious and unique.I'm pretty sure the outside has nothing compared to this place.On the other side, I heard Lucas was back. His arrival was late at the middle of the night.I didn't want to think about him now or what he might be doing. Although, I know it was difficult for me to let it off,
“ Nightmares... Day dreams... ” ~ Lora ~I was getting bored in my room, my mind still at the dream and I wanted a quiet place.I shut the door gently behind me making my way to know-where.The hallway, rooms, everywhere were calm so was my movement.The silent air blew, causing me to shiver greatly. I folded my arms around my chest.My teeth gnashing together, goose bumps surfacing on my skin.Nightmares... Day dreams...I didn't want to sleep, I didn't want to see what ever happenings in there.It was horrible. It was scary. No... I can't.I wish I can talk to Elena about this, but I don't know what she'll think of me as.Maybe, I was kinda crazy, right? Or somehow losing my mind.And there's no one else I can openly talk to about this.“ Lucas... ”Shut up! I yelled at the thought.I won't think of telling him this. Telling him that I'd seen hi
“ His feelings... My pains... ” ~ Unknown ~There were movements here and there causing her to wake from her gentle slumber.She shifted the blanket aside jumping out of the bed and forcing her legs into her porn slippers.She rushed out of her room, stopping a running guard on his tracks."What's going on?" She asked breathing heavily out of the force she had used to wake up."There was a sudden attack." He replied.She gasped...Lucas?!"What about the vice commander?" She asked again wanting an immediate response from the guard." He has been injured. But he's receiving treatment as we speak.""Okay. Okay. Thanks by the way. " She said trying to dilute the ugly news. " She made a sign with her hand signaling him to go. "You may leave."What might have caused such sudden attack at this late hour if the night? What's really going on?She shoved her hair to t
“ ANASTASIA.. DRACO... ”( Seven Months Later )"Call me, Lucas! Call me my husband!" She cried in pains."But, my lady. You... ”" Call me my husband!" She yelled at the nurse who did that Immediately.Not quite long, Lucas walked in straight to her side." Hold me tight, don't let me go." She said in pains and tears." I will never leave you my love. I'm here for you, okay? " He assured her.She nodded continuously while the nurse asked her for a push.She screamed, her grip tight on Luca's hand. She kept gasping for air.The nurse ordered for another push which she did. Again and again, this she went on until sometime like a head was seen."I see it. I see it. One more push my lady.""Ahhhhh!!!"There came the cry of a baby filling the air."What do we have?" One of the nurse asked."It's a boy!"Lora stared at Lucas who offered her an assuring that everything was gonna be o
“ THE WAR... ”The time has come.On the battlefield stood the hunters and the demons.The night had already surfaced fully because that was the perfect time for wars like this especially when it has to do with this two creatures.Lucas sat on his black horse coated in pure golden armor with some other of his men who were actually his war front men.While the rest of his armies stood at the back. And from the gathering Lora walked silently to the front with her head covered with her coat cap, hiding her identity.No one seemed to have noticed her entrance until she made it to the front beside where Lucas stood.According to fate... Lora was meant to fight along side with him.Both leaders rode to the middle of the battlefield as a normal way to do. Luca's eyes held darkness, darkness the hunter leader feared not.He laughed evilly. "Do you think I'm scared? No. I've patiently waited for this moment to come and I'll mak
“ LORA IS ORDAINED... ”( A Week Later )"The war is in two days time, likewise your one year training is coming to an end. Lucas will be waiting for you. You always read his letters, don't you? " Asked Nyk as they stroll around the castle." Yes, " she replied with a nod. "I still have them with me.""That's good." She sighed deeply. " Tonight, you'll be fully ordained by the witch sisters. You'll be becoming a true witch, you have to get yourself ready before the time. "" I will. "Nyk nodded again.They kept quiet, none saying a word to each other as they kept walking.Lora groaned, rubbing her head slightly. Nyk looked at her."Are you okay?""Yes, it's just a little headache, I'll be fine."But the little headache was becoming so severe. She stopped walking, touching her head. Just then, she felt her stomach grumping and she felt neusea."Lora, is everything alright?" Nyk asked, holding her."I think
“ SAVED... ” ~ Matilda ~I picked the courage to talk to priestess Nyk. Even if they don't listen to me, I wanna live a clear mind.I knocked at her door."Come in." She permitted immediately without asking who it was. I guess she's kinda having a visitor.I walked, shutting the door gently behind me. Indirectly, or I'd say quietly taking in as much air as my nostrils can occupy." Matilda." She called my name in a surprise.No one expects me for a chat so, it's definitely not her fault seeing me."Please have a seat." She offered me and I sat while she dropped her ink, shifting the brown scroll beside. "Okay. Is there any way I can help you?""I wanna tell you something, it's been bothering me for some days now. " I started." Okay." She nodded. I'm listening. "" It's concerning Lora. " I said and her eyes widened in surprise."What does that mean? What has happened to her?!" She asked in a yell.
“ DARK LORA III... ”He flipped each page of the book over and over again. Life has been bored for him without Lora.It's been five months her haven't seen or heard from her and all he wished for was her safety.Only twice and that was two months ago his mother sent Lora's letter to him. Since then, no letter, nothing.Brian walked in with a scroll which contained the reports of the kingdom affairs.Taking it from him, he read through the reports, dropping it on his desk. He rubbed his eyes, everything was going well in the kingdom. But what about him?Even recalling his moments with her wasn't making things better, he wanted to see her. He wants her standing right beside him, promising him that she'd never leave his side.But still, he knew going to the witche's castle was the only option to keep her safe likewise everyone else.At night, when it was time for him to sleep, he would feel the bed empty.
“ DARK LORA II... ”" Lora..." It called once again.She knelt with a single leg. "Yes, mistress. Your servant is at your service. "She smirked evilly" Yes, I can see that." Said the voice. " Finally, I found you dear child. I've waited for months for your arrival, and now I've seen you, you'll be of a great task for me."" Your wishes are my command." She said still on her knee.Out of the witche's lips came a devilish laughter. It was so strong and hard to the listeners ears.~~~~~~~~~~~~She stretched her body as soon as she got down from the bed.Whew! What a long night.She looked at the sky. “ Oh! No. ” It's almost to nine.She rushed for a shower. She didn't take much time for the dressing, she ran to professor Morgan's class.She tried her possible best to make her entrance unknown as professor Morgan wrote on the board but, it ended up being in vain.
“ DARK LORA ... ” ~ Lora ~Do you know how it feels when you think of the ones you love?How happy it is when you think of those moments you shared with them?And those moments you wished to share with them?On your bed you lay fast asleep to find yourself in a world of an unknown imagination...Until suddenly you hear a voice call you from behind...That's how I felt... So happy until I heard that beautiful voice call my name from behind.“ Lora... ” ~ Unknown ~She turned to look at who it was.Standing up from where she sat, she ran so fast with the smile that got to her eyes, she called..."Mother! ” Running into her mother's spread arms.It was like the world went in a flash back to those moments back at Acacia.They didn't let go off e
“ IN THE WITCHE'S CASTLE... ” ~ Lora ~Matilda and I sat at a secret place I discovered two days ago.We were just resting from the brief play we had together. It's been so long I last had this moment.Then she laid flat on the grass while I kept sitting, my both hands were behind for support, but our eyes were fixed up to the sky.For a moment, we sat in silence." Mm-hmm. I just remembered something." I said breaking the silence and drawing Matilda's attention."What is it?" She anxiously asked."It's concerning about professor Shakes class. " I said and she slightly frown." I'm not talking about what happened to me. " I defended trying to make her know it's totally not about me.The frown disappeared."It's concerning what Gloria was thinking."She scoffed, chuckling.I looked at her but she still stared up. She seemed not to bother about it.Not t
“ IN THE WITCHE'S CASTLE... ” ~ Lora ~"I have been noticing your closeness with Matilda lately. It's been two weeks and it all looks like a year. Seems she's more special to you than anyone else. " Mother asked me.I smiled. I know where she's heading to." You're over thinking, mother.""Oh! I guess. So tell me, what's so special about her to you? "" She's a good friend. When I thought I couldn't do anything, when I stopped believing in myself, she made me to keep believing that I can still do it. "" I can cast a spell is all because of her, mother. Professor Eva once said, magic isn't all about rush, it's time-steady, Matilda made me understand those words. And more of them I'm yet to find out. "She hummed, smiling." I don't want it to look like I'm being so inquisitive over your closeness with her but, I was expecting such closeness would be with Gloria."And that
