One Strange Trip

 It all seems strange when I think about the day we met and the way we spent our days. Before that how my life had totally changed one day, in a really strange and fantastic way. I was just 15, became a perfectionist at 22. Before I tell you about my life I would like to tell you how we met.

It was a really pleasant day. Everything was set and everyone was ready. It was the perfect day to give my wild thoughts a chance to come alive. I checked my car thrice so that it should not break down in the way. My excitement did not let me sleep all night; it seemed as if the time had stopped. In some corner of my heart I was scared to face my thoughts but made a firm decision to do so. I spend the night thinking of what to do. At 4:00, I was finally up and got ready, packed the left over stuff. It was seven; I still had 2 hrs to go so I preferred to listen to music. I was asleep within few minutes waiting for my friends.

“Isabel, you are yet sleeping!” Jessica said waking me up.

I trembled and got up “Oh!  No I am ready, was just waiting for you. Let’s go.”

“Yeah I am so excited” all four of them shouted together.

“Wait just let me bring my bag” saying this I rushed inside, took my bag and kissed mom goodbye and then came back out.

In few minutes we all were in the car and started the trip

“Bel, where are we going, at least tell it now.” Selena asked sarcastically.

“O just shut up. We are going for mountain climbing”

What! All shouted at me

“How can you do this” Ashlie shouted at me “this is not a surprise it is a shock. It is not possible, you know we don’t like all this.”

“Stop the car! I think you owe us an explanation for lying” Betty demanded.

“Listen guys, please stop freaking out, had I told you, you would never have accompanied me and moreover we will have the experts with us for our safety. It will be fun so please don’t say no.”

“But…

“Come on jess if you people don’t like it you can come back” I cut her sentence.

“It can be dangerous.”

“Come on, Ash you can’t be scared. Please…”

After some argument everybody agreed and we continued our trip. I put on the music to cheer them up.

“We will keep it low.” Jess almost shouted.

“Hmm…”

Four of them were so scared that the literary did not talk all the way. We stopped near a park, had our lunch and talked about our camping and climbing.

“We will be there by six.”

“Please let me drive. Your driving is pathetic.” Selena warned

“O come on”

“No means no. you are not driving”

“Ok”

Selena drove the rest of the tip. We entered the forest area at five.

“This place is s..s..o..o.. s…c…a…r…y” Ash stumbled.

“Sel, stop the car. What’s that blocking the way”

“Let’s see”

“Ok, come with me”

We went ahead and noticed that somebody’s car had broken down in the way but soon we later realized that those people were eve teasers when they ran behind us teasing. As I turned back to fight Sel held my head and stopped me. They followed us to the car which angered me and scared Selena.

“In the car, Selena”

I went back to settle everything.

“Ooooo, wanna go for a ride…….” One of them was about to tease that I punched in his face.

“Ouch!” he gave me a wild look with his bleeding nose

“So you will tease me, enjoy the consequences.”

They all came together to attack. Everyone in the car was scared and I stood there confidently but inside, my heart was beating so hard that it could come out.

“This was the first and the last mistake you have done. Be ready to bear the consequences” I had already excited them and I stood numb over there realizing that I had put my hand in tiger’s cage and now I could not escape as I was surrounded by them.

One of them held me by my waist and touched me all over. I kicked him and escaped. All the girls came out of the car and saw me beat everyone which literally shocked them.

Their boss went to my friends and fired in the sky then put the gun on Jessica’s head and asked me to stop beating.

He called his fellow to take the charge of the gun so that he could come to me.

“One move and your friend dies” he warned me holding me and pulling me towards him.

I tried to save myself but stopped seeing him move the revolver. It scared me and now my heart was beating at it’s fastest speed and it felt like it would soon come out. I knew that either I would be in danger or Jess would die. He started misbehaving with me but I could not move as Jess’s life was already in danger.

“Please beat him. Don’t worry I will handle this” Jess shouted which mad them laugh. I took the opportunity of their evil laughter and threw a stone at gun.

“Run…..fast…..run…..” I shouted at them and then started beating them again but suddenly someone pushed me, I rolled down the slanting area and hit myself on head followed by a noise of gunshot. Before falling unconscious I could see someone beating them.

“Come fast! She’s awake” Selena almost shouted when I opened my eyes.

My head was hurting and I found myself in a strange place.

“That’s good, feel comfortable” he addressed me “Hello, I am Dr. Lukas Black, How do you feel now?”

“Where are we” I asked Jess.

Ash came forward and spoke excitedly “Let me explain.”

“Do u see that handsome guy, he saved your life” she pointed to a really handsome gentleman, who was standing far away and but Ash still lowered her voice so that only I could hear her but that person was smiling as if he could hear everything. I silently observed the family and felt that they were strange maybe very different from normal people.

“Bel are you listening.” Ash waked me up

“Sorry, will you please repeat it. I feel dizzy”

“Ok he is James, Lukas’s son. He was the one who pushed you away because that person teasing you, was about to shoot you. He came in pushed you and fought with them and the bullet shot his arm, look. I called the police till he fought with them. By the time police came in they all were unconscious so they were easily arrested. We were helping the inspector and he picked you up with his injured arm and brought you here and as you already know his father is a doctor who treated you.”

“He is so strong I think I am in love with him” Sel almost blushed and I could see James smile too as if he heard what she said and suddenly he looked at me as if he was trying to find out something about me but he could not.

“Hello” a beautiful lady came out with a bowl of soup. I am Emily, Lukas’s wife.” She helped me get up and served me with the soup.

“Thank you, Mrs. Black, will you please introduce me to your family”

“Sure, he is Will my son.” she pointed out to a man who was standing with another beautiful lady. “and she is his wife Ella and this is my youngest son James”

“Thanks for saving me, had your family not been there I would have been dead”

“Credit goes to James; he was fortunately present there and saved you at the right time”

“em.. Thank you” I turned to thank him only to hear his embarrassing reply.

“Hmmm…”

His strange reaction amazed me, it felt like he held his breath. My blank look made him conscious so he turned towards his dad, they had some silent talk and he went outside.

“I must say you are a really strong and brave girl” his mom interrupted my thoughts “Please have your soup before it turns cold. It seemed as if she was trying to cover up for my doubts but it was not easy and she could see that in my eyes. My friends now had a new topic of discussion as they were overwhelmed by James’s charm. His family expected the same from me maybe because this was the only way this family hid their secret. They definitely felt insecure by my suspicious reactions so I tried to behave normal and come out of my thoughts.

“Soup is too good, you are a really nice cook”

“Come on, this was nothing” she said it with some relief thinking that my reaction was because of the trauma I had.

“I think it’s too late so we should leave, we came here for camping and mountain climbing.”

This statement made the whole family stare at me but I could not find the reason behind it.

Suddenly Emily made some plan in her mind and told me to stay that night “You can stay here tonight and tomorrow we can go climbing together. We were planning this since a long time but were not able to execute the plan and you may be the reason we can go now.”

Before I could say anything my friends shouted in excitement “Off course, why not it would be fun.” They were so excited by the thought that James would accompany them.

This was exciting for me too as I could come to know the reason behind the strange behavior of the family.

I smiled on my friends’ reaction so a reverse smile came from Emily and she went away leaving us alone.

“Doesn’t this family appears strange to you”

“Nothing’s like that. Just go to sleep and it will be normal for you too by tomorrow, it’s just the trauma that you are undergoing right now.” Jess said sleepily.

I was sure something was wrong as I knew I was not in trauma. I knew it was useless to talk to them so I tried to sleep and wait for the morning that would be only if I were to sleep that night because when I finally drifted off to sleep, I felt the wind blow by my face so I got up to close the window but before I could do that I had totally stopped breathing at what I saw.

    Someone was there by the window and as I looked in the direction of the window, the person jumped out. I got up to see but nothing was there but my heart kept racing as I was sure that happened but then I thought if this place was driving me insane so I closed the window and with some difficulty went off to sleep again. I suddenly heard some noise which woke me up and felt like someone moving out of the room but that was way too fast so I decided to ignore that taking it as a part of my weird dream. To clear my doubts I looked around the room once more before falling asleep again.Everyone was so excited about the trip that they were almost ready by the time I woke up.“We were waiting for you to get up.

    I almost lost my senses and didn’t realise when I was in James’s arms, hugged tightly, without asking me anything James only said “Don’t be scared I am there with you, just go to sleep.” As he hugged me the rest of the night I had the most peaceful sleep since Ethan’s death.Next morning I woke up in James's arms but he was already awake and staring at her, I felt my cheeks blush as I was lying so close to him. I lowered my head and my cheek turned even more red as I spoke "Sorry for bothering you last night and thank you for taking care of me."He smiled and came closer to me covering almost all the distance between us and pulled my head up gently by my chin "Did you sleep well."Inodded as my heart thumped into her chest before James could continue talking Selina entered the camp in which we were sleeping and seeing us so close she turned around and talked nervously "I am sorry to interrupt you but you should get ready everyone is waiting for you." saying this sh

    I pushed him back and he balanced himself from falling down "I am not that weak Isabel who was tortured by you and who told you I am your wife."He laughed and moved closer to me again "Let's go inside darling and it is better if you behave because Jessica is still with me and you know what I can do for love."I had no other choice but to go in with him and my purpose right now was to save Jessica.As I calmly followed him inside he led me to his bedroom, it had not changed in so many years but I could not see Jessica anywhere and I knew what tricks he was pulling but I could not say anything so I kept moving quietly then he stopped and asked me to sit threatening about Jessica. I sat on the edge of the bed, he leaned in closer and placed both his hands on either side of me on the bed, my heart raced, he moved closer to my neck and took a deep breath "I have missed this beautiful scent of yours." then he looked at my face leaning in closer planting one of his ha

Jessica was perfectly fine the next morning and was ready to go back she hugged me "Thank you for saving me."I smiled at her and hugged her again "I am happy that you are fine." then I hugged all my other friends goodbye.The black family bid their farewells and everyone started their journey down which could be completed in one day. James put a hand on my shoulder and said "They will wait for us home, we will leave tomorrow because if we leave with them some other of your friends will be injured."I nodded as tears welled up in my eyes. It was a beautiful morning, I sat down on a rock nearby and James sat besides me, holding my hand he looked into my eyes "Promise me you won't hate me after this."I put my other hand on the one that was holding mine "I can never hate you even if I want to."He smiled and started with telling his

    He sat there quietly as tears rolled down my eyes after a lot of suppression thinking about the past. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder which was the most magical thing and I was calm in a few minutes, taking a deep breath, I wiped my eyes and he came in front of me holding me by my waist "Past is gone don't cry over it and don't talk about it or even think about it until you can do that without crying."I nodded and as I was going to push him away he kissed me, making it deep with every moment, the flashes of Ethan kissing me began to cross my mind and as he forced his tongue into my mouth, I pushed him away and ran into the camp and tears flowed more vigorously through my eyes. I sat there quietly and he was too scared to come in.At last when I was finally able to calm myself down, I went outside to have a look but he was nowhere to be found. I felt like I scared him away so I walked towards the rock where we sat earlier and started enjoying the view. The more I

    I nodded and then we begin our journey down the mountain.It was the same place we had climbed earlier and while we were going down my mind was just preoccupied by the thought that what could it be he would show me and it would be different from what I had already seen and as if he had read my thoughts he grabbed my waist and looked me into the eyes once we were standing on a steady place, his voice was so sexy and dreamy that I just wanted to melt into it "Are you ready for what I am about to show you."My lips curved up as I looked at him and nodded and he effortlessly picked me up by my waist and then what I saw was the most beautiful view anyone could ever see, we were on top of the highest tree and James held me carefully in his arms making sure that I don't fall down. It was still so early and what I saw was the sun rising just behind the mountains and it was such a spectacular view from where we were seeing and third was when I finally realized that this could n

    My eyes widened, I knew whose voice this was but that could not be true, I erased his memory, I jumped up and turned around. I lost my voice as my eyes landed on James but I gathered myself to speak "What are you doing here? How did you find my place and how do you still remember me?"He smirked, he was standing behind the couch and with a swift jump he was in front of it and moving towards me, a natural instinct could have made anyone step back but I stood there because I needed to know why my magic didn't work on him.He just came closer and placed a hand on my waist pulling me closer to his body as it touched his, his grip was firm as if he didn't ever want me to escape but instead of answering my question he said "Let's first continue what you started

    I took the bath and came out in my bathrobe as I usually did. I didn't have any energy left to change my clothes and I was exhausted mentally so I decided to lock my room and go to sleep and that is what I did without bothering to find out what James was doing.I switched off my bedside light but before I could actually go to sleep James knocked my door. I didn't answer at first pretending to sleep so that he would go away but he knocked again saying "Bel, where am I gonna sleep."My heart raced when he called me 'Bel', it sounded so sweet from his lips but I could not accept that so I calmed myself down before replying in an uninterested tone "You barged in here so find your own place."He said "Okay" but before he left I had to tell him to never call me 'Bel' again, I could not stand the feeling it send to my heart when he said that. Although I was not ready to accept then but the truth was that the gates that I had closed shut tightly preventing anyo

    He smirked "Don't get that wrong, away enough that you will have your space and close enough that I can be at ease. I am sure you will come to me willingly one day."I shook my head "You wish"He smiled "I will stay with you so better arrange a room for me."I could accept that as long as he stayed away and out of my life so I smiled back at him "No problem that can be done and now that I am done here, I will be leaving."I turned around and left without looking back at him, I first asked the people to arrange a room for him and then went out again, I had a lot of matters to settle, now that I was here. When I went out, Erin waswaiting for me and he looked extremely worried. As soon as he saw me, he ran towards me, he held my arms and turned me around "Are you alright?"I smiled and nodded my head but before I could say anything his wrists were grabbed and he was pushed away from me which was followed by James's cold voice "You should better stop touch

    I turned around and looked at the owner of the voice and a warm smile spread across my face "Erin!"He smiled and came forward to hug me tightly "I missed you so much."I pulled back a little and with a smile said "Me too but what do you mean by I am finally here, initially I never planned on returning."He tapped my forehead and said "I know but I also knew that one day you will realize that you need to return, you have always been a rational person and I knew after you have thought things though you will return but it took you way too long."I smiled "Don't you trust me way too much."He laughed and teased me "No, it's just that I know you for that well after all we are childhood sweethearts but it's a pity that you loved someone else."I laughed and before I could say anything else, I saw James come and stand next to me, his expression as dark as an evil spirit and soon a realization hit me so I turned to him "How long have you been here?

    Everyone seemed anxious at my orders but they had no other choice but to oblige by it so they lowered their heads and went away. I was in no mood to entertain that clingy James at this moment so I decided to visit the master because he could not be avoided forever. Our Master was the most intelligent and trustworthy person who helped the royals make the decisions, tell them what was wrong and right, he kept a check on the rules and from time to time he would go into deep meditation for continuous months.He had made the decision of my marriage and selected that man because it was an ancient rule the a princess can only have the throne once she was married, only then could she became the queen. He had been helping the royals for so long and as he was the peacemaker, I knew I had to visit him to receive my punishment but now that I was going to him I had my doubts about him. I knew he had always been doing good but the person he forced me to get married to was not the right

    I gulped and tried to get out of his grasp although my body wanted me to do the complete opposite, I still have to control so I tried to get out but I was already pinned to the bed. He had used so much of his strength that I could not even move a little bit no matter how much I tried. I looked at him and said "How can you force yourself on me, do you really think this will make me like you."He smiled and then placed a soul wrecking kiss on my lips which obviously had my response as I closed my eyes and moved along with him but he pulled away soon while saying with a smile "The way you respond doesn't seem like I am forcing myself, you like it too which is very well evident."I gritted my teeth and with no other choice I let him do what he wanted as I had my own move. He once again placed his lips against mine and kissed me like a hungry wolf. He slowly bit my lips and pried my mouth open as his tongue invaded my mouth making me breathless. He was so engrossed in the kiss

    I realized that it was possible for these people to change their mind and she was now sure that the security was not that good but I still wanted to see if I was right or were they thinking of calling the back up. I leaned in further and made my sound more low and seductive "Come on, I will make you forget everything and it is not like as if the princess is going to return. I will make sure it is worth your risk."The guard finally moved and his hand reached my waist, now that I was sure that he was worthless, I decided to give him a good beating but before I could react James had already tackled the guard to the ground and I could see him glaring at me sharply and for some reason I felt scared. I knew he was going to take that out on me later but right now I could not be bothered by it as I had other important things to do.The guard shouted "Do you know that it will cost you your life to go against the royalty."I smirked "Really! show me."He laughed maybe won

    I looked at the doors for a long time as many emotions ran through my heart and I felt like crying but before those emotions could take me down James put an arm around my waist as he spoke "Let's go"I looked at him and remembered the reason for coming here so I took in a deep breath and nodded my head, finally agreeing.I took a step into the castle but unexpectedly everything was in the same order just the way I had left it. I thought that without the owner of the place everything was bound to change and become different, unexpectedly it was not true. I was the only owner left of this place and no one could take over except me or if I gave my position willingly to someone.Now that I returned I realized the consequences of disappearance. As I looked around the castle, I realized that although everything was the same, this place was a total mess. The security was so poor that I entered and no one even noticed but that made sense, they had nobody to protect so w

    That word sent a shiver down my spine and I was jolted out of my seat to look at the person standing behind me. I had not even recovered completely from the previous wounds given by Cameron and to have them again was too terrifying but then again the voice didn't belong to the owner of that sentence so I turned around to see that it was James.I placed a hand on my chest as I looked at him "Are you crazy?"He laughed "Look at how terrified you are, what if it was really your husband."I glared at him but then I suddenly realized that he was not supposed to be here, how did he come to know about this?I looked into his eyes and asked "What are you doing here?"He didn't answer me but instead walked towards me with a sinister smile, although I knew that he would not do anything to me, I was still scared. He said with a commanding tone "Come here"How could I go over to him when he said that with his sinister voice coupled with a sinister smile

    It was me who had taken the initiative and now he had completely lost control of himself. I panicked and pondered for a while but could not think of anything, he bit my neck and then his hands travelled up my back. It had been a while for me as no one had touched me that was because I didn't allow it but this was different, it was basically me who was throwing herself on him and I had no idea how to get out of it. After some thinking, I let out a soft sound indicating that I was in pain and it turned out to be effective, he immediately got up.I had made that sound intentionally and I knew he would not insist on doing anything after that so before he could move away, I wrapped my arms around his neck and said "It's fine, I can bear with it. I have healed so it won't be bad."He looked at me with yearning in his eyes but sternly moved away but his voice became horse "No, you are not well, we can have this any other time as for now just go to sleep."I gave him a

    I was thankful to James for helping me and now that I wanted to return, it was best I did it without his knowledge because if he tagged along I would feel that I was pulling him in a very dangerous situation along with me. Although he was very strong, he could still die when the time came just like Ethan did. I could only think of abandoning him for his own good so I decided to leave early the next morning when he was still sleeping. The only way to leave without any suspicious was to make him feel that I would never leave him that way he would be at ease giving me a chance to escape.I decided to let him know that I cared for him a lot and was reluctant to part with him so the next part of my plan began when he came into the room. My whole body was sore from lying on the bed for so long and when I stood up, it felt a little difficult for me to walk. I took a few steps towards him and then swayed but as I was about to fall, he quickly rushed towards me and grabbed me by m
