THE WORLD WE WANTED Alexis It was a beautiful morning, when the sun shone from the transparent curtains and spread its warmth on me. It was a hectic day yesterday and i was tired. I don't remember when i fall asleep. I didn't wanted to get up so i snuggled a bit more, lying next to my husband, Stefan. Suddenly, i realised that he wasn't in the bed and i panicked. He never left me unattended, even in my sleep, than how did he left me alone today? Before i could get out from the bed and look for him, he entered in the room with a tray in his hand. There was a delioys aroma of coffee filled in the room with my favorite Choco chop cookies. "Happy anniversary, love" he greeted me with a kiss on my lips and put the tray on the other side of the bed, the he went down to touch my swollen belly and kissed it too. "Good morning, little one. I miss you everyday and i wait everyday to meet you. When are you coming to see your parents?" He was talking to the baby like a child. "This is stu
In the middle of a glorious day, the clouds appeared from nowhere. It started to pour rain from above and drenched each leaf in the wood. The town had never seen such a storm before. The harsh winds blew as they were taking revenge against nature for exploiting them.The thunderbolts fell in the deep woods, starting a fire in the drenched forest. The lightning keeps roaring in the dark sky.All the residents locked themselves in their houses as they predicted that demons were arriving. Some of the houses destroyed or lightning killed many people. Every living being is terrified of nature's aggression. Many humans kept praying for the demons to calm down and show mercy on them but the weather didn't seem to get any better.A loud and awful thunderbolt growled within the clouds, breaking the sky…
AlexisThe sky was shining beautifully under the embrace of the glorious sun and instead of enjoying the evening with Aunt Sol, I was running to get on time for an interview.I can't remember the last time when I had free time. All the time, I had pushed myself to get a decent job. Of course, the city has provided me with a better and more peaceful place but the money I have earned here isn't enough.I have thanked God that we haven't starved but life is above that. We are a job away from becoming homeless. The bills, due dates, and living life since the moment I came out of the hospital.I don't remember what my life was like before the accident. I don't even remember how I got in an accident. Every time I try to recall the memories, my head hurts. Again, I
AlexisJust as I expected, Aunt Sol was more than mad, she was disappointed that I didn't inform her that I was going to be late."Young lady? Is this time fine for you to come home?" She flared her nostrils while glaring at me."I can explain… but let me in first…" I insisted.Although, she let me in the house but she kept following me to the room. I knew that she was curious and eager to know about my interview. And that's where the fear in my heart erupted."How was the interview? You haven't broken the silence… is everything okay?" She was concerned."Let me change first, then I will discuss something with you…" I sighed heavily and Aunt Sol provided me with some personal space.As soon as she left, I changed my clothes quickly and rushed to the bathroom in order to wash my face. Since there was No makeup painted on my skin, it was visibly clean with one wash.Soon after, I went down
AlexisThe sweet peas aroma had filled in my nostrils and it drove me to the kitchen counter, where my Aunt was preparing the breakfast. I descended the stairs and carried my luggage along. Although it was heavier than I expected at first, I tried to be as quiet as I could. Once I brought all the three suitcases, I sat on the stool next to the counter and watched Aunt preparing breakfast for us.Last night, I packed all of the stuff I might require. In fact, Aunt Sol asked me to put everything I need but It would be too much. In case I need anything, I can come back anytime and take it. It was a great night spent well. I mean, we both learned a lot from everything. She learned the technology and I learned to be patient with time.I dressed up in casual boots and jeans with a jacket to cover. Having a bad hair day wasn't the worst thing I encountered in the morning, I pinned them in a messy bun. But, leaving Aunt Sol and shifting to another place, it would be dif
AlexisAlways been an early bird in my life, and always watched the peace and silence of the morning to be glorious. However, this place doesn't seem to sleep at all. When I woke up in the morning, I went out to breathe in fresh air. I stayed near the room because I didn't want to get lost in this labyrinth. I found most of the workers running and working even before dawn. It was surprising to my eyes.Of course, this place is huge and requires clean maintenance, that's why the human resources are huge in numbers. The Porsche ambience of the castle was screaming luxury and I was afraid of being a part of it. I might be staying in a palace but I wasn't the queen.After a short walk, I headed back to the room and went to take a bath. Today, it will be an important day for me as I, as a teacher, am going to teach
AlexisAs quiet as a mouse, this room was closed and I was suffocating inside. My chest was burning like a coal mine but I pretended to be unaffected. This place doesn't seem to be ventilated either, except for the vents for the air conditioner. They were working perfectly, however, I was sweating.As I started to breathe heavily, Stefan stood closer to me. This closeness made me take a few steps back. I do love people around me but I love my personal space more than anything. I glared at him and he stared back at me. There was mischief lingering in his eyes and I was aware that he was not upto anything good."Mr Donovan, I asked you to give me the list of your books and your syllabus. I need to work on your schedule." I said while hyperventilating cleanly.He noti
AlexisIt was evening outside and the clouds clustered in the sky. The sun was high at the end and soon it will sleep within the horizon. I watched the birds fly from the trees along the gentle breeze. I sighed as I watched them palpitating their wings. I envied their freedom.My head was dizzy and my eyes were swollen. I cried since I locked myself in the room. Never bothered to answer any of the knocks. I regret coming here when Aunt Sol was against it. She was right when she said that No one knows what happens behind those walls.I should have heard her and admitted. But no, all I wanted was to create a better life for us. It was damnly confusing to leave this place. I never thought demons and evils could be real. Everything is delusional!!! I wanted to scream and pour out everything in my heart. But i can'

Alexis My world shattered and torn apart when i saw the love of my life dying in my arms. my ears didn't believed what my Aunt Sol said and i don't want to believe it either. It was heartwrenching moment for me. I was willing to do everything for him, how dare he left me like this?"How did it happened?" I asked myself while combing Stefan's hair, putting his head in my lap, i cried. Aunt Sol carried me and patted my back, she was trying her best to calm me down. "Demon's poison. It is a poison that only a demon king carried in his talons. They use this poison to defend themselve. However, he used it against his son and lethally wounded him." "It makes no sense… how dare he? How dare he took something so precious from me? I will kill him and tear him apart like my heart. My heart is bleeding and crying… last time when i fall in love, he betrayed me and now i fall in love with someone i deserve, he was taken away from me. Why???? How gave him this authority?" I was screaming like a
As soon as the doors shut behind my back, the coldness around the area made the hair raised over my body. The room was well lit with the fluorescent lights placed on the ceilings. My eyes wandered to the last corner of the room, where there was a small reception desk, but no one seemed to be present at the moment.I made my ass relaxed on a vacant metallic chair; I haven’t breathed in silence since I got back to town. Everything appeared to be hazy and clustered.My sight slid to a book holder, and I took out a fancy magazine from it. I wondered why a magazine is doing in a place like this? Is there something that I Am missing?The door opened, and a petite blonde came out. Her gaze fell on me and then onto her desk. I was looking at her pensively and waited for a command.She turned to me and asked, “you must be Niana?” “Yeah!”“You have to wait for a while, the director is busy in a meeting.” she stated while smiling like a clown.I nodded and looked back at the magazine to pass th
AlexisThe air seems to drop as the temperature rises, and the moon sparkled in the dark sky where nothing could be seen, a demon's activities survived. Elsa was in her full form and she was ready to take a fight. I tried not to put abfight with her but she left me no choice. I wish I could change things but it was too late. I couldn't help her anymore but now that i know what i have to do, i will fight with my whole life for him.Stefan, i hope you will come out victorious, i know you will. Now that i have asked Aunt Sol to hide under shadows and kill those demons who will try to attack me, all of my focus will be on Elsa.She was the most dangerous demon here. I have to take her down, no matter what. Her fleshy teeth appeared and she no longer looked like she used to look like in her human form. I drew my sword and ready to fight her. We both ran toward each other and began fighting hand to hand. She attacked me but i dodged them and able to put a few punches on her head. It infur
StefanHeavy breaths and disturbed dimensions, i brought him in the hell of mine that i had been through all these years, specially after i lost my mother. That woman loved a wrong man, not a man but a demon and suffered throughout her life. I want to do so many things for her but unfortunately, she left this world so soon. But i haven't forgotten anything, and will not forgive anyone for this. My father, the demon king might be my father but he never played his role as a father in my life. No excuses need and no remorse required because today, i will avenge her death."So, this is the little hell you have create for me? How sweet, my dear son but i tell you that this is pathetic as you. Wasted my time when i had killed that bird and tore her wings apart." He hissed because i didn't let her out hands on my girl. "Not that easy as you thought, dear father. Maybe we should drop this tag of father and son because we need had any relationship. So, Gabriel, let us get through this and en
AlexisMy mind was still traumatized after defeating and killing Natem it was difficult to kill someone i used to love but when where was love when he killed my brother and commrades? He never loved me. He used me for his gain, and when he failed to prove his worth to godfather, he was furious when i become the protector. I have lost my borther and he won't be coming back. But i can still save this world, humans and my own people. Azeal always warned me about him but my heart and my mind was blinded by the love i had for him. It all shattered today. I have ended that chapter forever.I got up and rushed to save Stefan and Aunt Sol. I hope they would be done while i faught Nate. The fumes of the signal were faintly visible and i followed the trail to find them. I flared my winds and fly up in the sky. I found them fight Gabriel and Elsa. But strength was unmatched.Before they both got hurt, i blew a solid punch on Gabriel's face which made him tremble down the stair case. The whole c
AlexisIt was dusk and soon the demons will be active, we need to hurry up and caught Gabriel before he start a war. Although, we have destroyed the laboratory but i doubt that this wasn't the only place where he kept his army. He learned from his previous mistakes and become much clever. We ran through the corridors, saving our lives when the buildings started to collapse. Stefan was an inch away when the floor beneath him broke and he fell. Luckily, i grabbed his hand in time. I retrieve my powers because i need save it for later. Years ago when my destined brother warned us about it, i didn't listened. I wished i had one more chance to meet him, seek him. "I got you…" i dragged him up and we ran till we found a safest spot. "Why the hell whole place begun to collapse?" He asked in frustration."We destroyed the root of this horrible place, the entire plant was supposed to die. It was dusk and demons will get their powers. They will become more active. We need to find Gabriel an
AlexisThere was no time left to look for clues because we already know what Gabriel wanted in first place and at what extent he was willing to go. Before he would be back, we need to rush into the laboratory and destroy the capsules."Stefan, i want to tell you something…" i halted and decided to talk to Stefan."Yeah…""When i found the laboratory, i saw Elsa among the capsules. I wanted to save her but i fell unconcious and my lost memories revived. Now that i know what am I and what purpose i had in my life. I will stop Gabriel no matter what." I told him before proceeding to take him to the laboratory."What? Elsa was one of his experiments? Now that makes sense why he is always making human women pregnant. He was creating his army this way. Those who survived, he put them under experimentation. That evil bastard." He was furious and slammed his fist into the wall."Stefan… you will be hurt… Don't do this." I grabbed his hand and looked for injuries. Although, the wound on his kn
Alexis (in flashback pov)There was no time to bury Gaia's body so I had to burn it because the demons might feed on it. Raquel was devastated and angered, he has already made his allegations against Nate. Although, I knew he wasn't lying but part of me wanted it to be a hoax. Nate is my lover and he will never do such a thing. And hey would he do it? This mission was everything he wanted to prove his point. And it still makes no sense why he would kill Gaia. They never spoke to each other before, hardly a casual talk. But I can't share my feelings because I love him. And that's when Azeal's words reconcile, does he love me? Of course, he loved me. Otherwise why did he keep this relationship this long? Part of me wanted it to be a lie when he would get exposed. I was afraid how I would cope once he was found guilty.On the way, we killed many demons but failed to locate the laboratory. Raquel refused to leave my side when I asked him to split because he was afraid that I would get as
