I looked at that car again, it was the very same car that he gave me for my birthday last year, ue has been an alcoholic, abusive father for so many years that became really impossible for me to look past his shortcomings and to address the little gesture he was starting to do for me. For past some years he was really trying to be more involved in my life by making gesture to make me realize that he cared for me and this car was one such tiny attempt of his, he gave it to me on my birthday last year trying to bridge the gap that was between us but for me it was too late from his side to bridge any gap because I wouldn’t allow him to do any and in my pure stubbornness I declined the car he gave me and left it on the front porch of our house, I know it broke his heart but I did it anyway, I wanted him to feel the pain that I have been dealing with alone all these years, I didn’t want him to feel okay and forgiven but I wanted him to suffer in agon
“Charlotte, what is happening, why is this place burning and why are you standing there in the middle of a room which is on fire”, Ella yelled at me and her voice pierced through my subconscious in a way that I felt I was extracted from the hallucination I was trapped and that was the moment I realized that I have set fire to my childhood room, a room which had all my childhood memories including the moment that I spent with my parents with my photographs hanging on the walls of that room, I looked back at Ella and then back to my burning room, “Ella I don’t know how this happened, one moment I was looking at myself in the mirror and the other moment you are standing here and the entire room is on fire. There are gaps in my memory, why don’t I remember anything Ella”, I said to her in a freaked out tone but she yelled at me again, “okay fine we will discuss it later but for now you need to get out of that room. Run from there now
“yes officer what is it”, I said in a soft tone while trying not to look at him so that he doesn’t get to make out the sin I have committed.“I am sorry Miss Forbes but I have bad news for you. Your father met with an accident last night in to the woods and I am sorry to inform you that he didn’t make it. Ambulance with his dead body would be arriving soon”, he said in a low voice.I heard what he was saying but I didn’t know how should I react to any of that, how am I supposed to react that wouldn’t be considered too much or too less, how can I react about the news of my father’s death when I am the only reason why he is dead in the first place.I was still confused and devastated on how to react to the news of my father’s death just then I felt a cold hand on my shoulder, I turned to look at the hand and who did it belong to and there was Ella standing right beside me, I thought she wouldn’t com
“what do you mean by I can control my emotions. Tell me I want the truth”, I said to Lily but with a bit more authority and all Lily did was giggle and then said by coming a bit close to me, “what would I get in return by telling you the truth” and I couldn’t believe this woman, I have a funeral to attend and here she is playing games with me.I pretended to ignore her pathetic intentions but she is pretty consistent and said by clearing her throat, “well you have already become a vampire and have those petty little vampire trucks up your sleeve so I don’t think you would be needing any of the powers that come with the stone that Alice left after she decided to die so I want you to give it to me and then may be we can discuss about the help book of how to be a good vampire”.“Are you really that dumb Lily or you just pretend to be, the entire reason of me going through this traumatic experience of turning a vampire
I was now sitting in a crowded room with most of the people I have never seen or heard of but apparently all those strangers knew my dad better than me, it was so tragic, strange faces with fake smiles telling me it will all be fine, assuring me that I will survive the loss of my father but what do they know about me to give such assurance because I have been living without my father all my life but now when he is gone and now when I know he wanted to reach out to me, to be a part of my life, that he was trying, it changes everything for me and for everything we shared, I was regretting every single moment of my life when I chose not to give him the chance to reach out to me, where I shut him off.Now I am standing alone in a crowded room and now we can’t speak and cover all those lost moments, and our story has just become a tragic tale worth breaking several hearts.I was sca
“you can’t be serious, you remember that even after all those years”, I asked Oliver in with a shocking expression and he just looked at me and said, “Always. I will remember everything about you always”, the way he said it, it made me smile and blush in between all those tears rolling down my eyes.“Hey.. hey why are you crying. It’s over, the hard part is over and trust me it will just get easy with every day untill it wouldn’t hurt anymore”, and he rubbed his hand against my the skin of my palm and I felt this soft sensation within my entire body and so I kept staring him in his dark black eyes, I was getting carried away in his aura and that’s when I saw Ella staring at me right across the hall, she didn’t look really happy about me being there but I saw it as an opportunity to mend my differences with her and I was being optimistic about this whole situat
“Stop playing with me Oliver, we dated once and we were in love long before that, don’t you think I deserve the truth about everything”, I was shaking in anger and then he held my hand to calm my nerves and said, “you deserve the world Charlotte, nothing less and I knew that from the moment I fell in love with you, which is why I was forced to let you go because sometimes we have to do things for the people we love without being selfish and I did that by letting you go”.“Letting me go was the most selfish thing you ever did Oliver, I was in love with you but clearly would not because you broke up and I promised you again and again that we could manage this long distance relationship that we will not break apart, I remember convincing you do not distance yourself from me because I knew and I had faith not together we can overcome anything but you kept on pushing me away and that was the mo
“Like I said I won’t hold back anything that I will tell you the entire truth which you are not believing but I will do everything I can to make you have faith in me, to make you trust me the way you used to”, Oliver was saying but I interrupted him in between and said, “Oliver please I don’t want all this crap so you can save both of us some time and come to the point”, I said in a rather irritated tone.“Yeah yeah I get it you don't want to waste anymore time like you have some meeting to attend all you might have to go to a friends place oops you silly don't have to do any of those things because you don't have a friend after Ella just bolted on you and literally ran from your college so there is not a single place right now where you have to be so just sit here and listen to what I am saying”, Oliver snapped at me which I wasn’t expecting at all so I rolled my eyes to
Lying there on the floor, I didn’t realise when my eyes closed automatically and I fell into a deep sleep, relaxing every muscle and every nerve on my body, the feeling of closing my eyes and just letting everything slip away from my mind felt so liberating that in that moment I didn’t feel like waking up, and considered just going into a deep sleep for rest of the eternity. I was lost in my dreamland when all of a sudden a feeling of warmth wrapped around my entire body and even though I wanted to give up to that coziness and just relax for once in a while but I couldn’t because of the constant fear that resides in my mind, fear of someone backstabbing me again, fear of someone manipulating me again or trying to kill me by snapping my neck. I have witnessed so much horror in past few days that honestly at this point of time nothing would really amaze me so because of this constant fear I couldn’t give into this feeling of coziness a
“Just because you were my best friend once you think you will get a free pass of supporting someone who just killed my brother, if only you were not so ignorant you would have remembered that for us blood always comes before love or any other relation in this world and Alfred was my brother who was killed brutally by your lover and you have the audacity to think that I will let you and Charlotte go well I am not that merciful, you and Charlotte will have to pay for everything you did to my brother and I don’t care if he was coming for her because yes she deserves every bit of it if my brother wanted to kill your stupid lover then she did deserve it and now she will get the taste of her own karma when I will kill her like I killed her best friend so if you really want to live I would suggest you to change your alliances”, Luke said to Elvin which was more like a threat.“Yes look you want to take your
Ella was lying on the wooden floor frozen not breathing blood dripping from her neck and spreading across the wooden floor of that hall and I just kept sitting right next to her like a statue who was not willing to move because moving would mean making it obvious to be a reality and I on the other hand was not ready to accept a reality so painful.“I did everything you asked me to, you asked me to come here and meet your I did that, you asked not to bring anyone along with me I did that too so why, why did you kill her, she was the only reason why I was holding myself from ripping your heart out so you don’t and you won’t get the leverage anymore”, I said while trying to hold myself together to rip his heart out but he was quicker than me and he held my hands and pinned it to my back while making me bend my face forward towards the wooden floor which was covered in my best friends blood, his gri
“So what's the plan”, I asked Elvin while I was still looking at Oliver. Elvin paused for some seconds and then said, “well I don’t know for sure but I think it’s best if none of them in that house know that you have backup, it is supposed to be a secret so when they are least expecting us we would have upper hand in the battle also i have a question, can you hide your crown while you walk in there because we would want them to think they have leverage over us”.I emphasized on the last part Elvin just said which made me wonder can I really hide the crown, was it really into consideration so I said, “I actually don’t know if I can do it from which I mean I don’t know if this is an option I mean it would be great if I could hide my crown it would give us a great leverage over them because they wouldn't be prepared for this ”.“T
Even after trying so many times I failed every time,I was standing there in the middle of an abandoned mansions backyard clueless about what I should do next or how should I proceed forward because I was not ready for the warning I just received and that’s when I heard someone calling my name, chills ran down my spine because it was just a whisper but I could hear my name clearly and also I was not able to recognise the voice of that whisper so I immediately turned to look who that person was and to my relief it was none other than Elvin, “what are you doing here, I think I told you to leave and not come in between everything didn’t you hear the last time I gave you a warning”, I tried to sound mad and disappointed even though I was low key glad That he showed up in that way I could finally talk to someone considering Oliver was not even here than he was anyhow mad with me so talking to Elvin might help me see thing in a more direct light.
“Well I was not playing fancy dress or anything and it might sound inane to you and I don’t know how you would react but I kind of summoned The Serpent earlier and I was gifted this crown in the process”, I said to Oliver in a rather cheeky tone.“What do you mean by you were gifted with this crown by The Serpent and how did you even summoned The Serpent, one needs to be excellent in black magic for doing something like this and you are so new into this and there is no way you could have pulled something like this, are you even sure that it was the serpent sign”, Oliver had so many questions for me and I didn’t know what else should I say to him so that he believes me that I actually summoned The Serpent.“I actually did summoned the serpent and you have to believe me Oliver, see this mark on my neck it is a proof that I summoned the serpent and he granted me the undisputed Queen of the supernatural and I now have definitely ha
The message of the serpent was pretty clear if I put this crown over my head it would mean I will be the undisputed royalty of all the supernatural creatures living on this earth and honestly I don’t see a problem because the serpent also says that I can anytime undo the spell and everything will go back to normal but I wonder why would I do that, why would I want to be adult supernatural when I can be the royalty for a change I’ve started to like this entire irony of granting me with more power and authority and it would also mean as long as I would have this crown on my head with the stone inside it, serpent would protect it from being stolen and I positively need all the help from the serpent until the heretic comment passes.So I put my step forward in the direction where the crown was kept on the floor and I just paused to admire the beauty of that crown I know serpent magic is supposed to be dark in black b
The moment my blood touched the ashes which were carefully laid in a circle in that moment the candles that were present in that room we're shining brighter then before and there was a sudden rise in temperature which I felt inside the Attic, it was like the entire room was on fire burning away and would probably melt everything which might come in its way, I knew the spell was complicated and I knew these were the necessary are probably the mandatory things to happen but it certainly affected my conscious because I felt scared and it was ironical to think about the fact that despite I am considered now the most strongest supernatural creature on this planet earth yet no one knew how scared of a person I am even though they all see me as a great threat or a greater evil yet none of them know what kind of a timid person I am in reality and it is also ironical because I know what I am still I have been trying so hard to pretend from the past few days to be li
As agreed earlier Between me and Oliver, I went straight to the attic again so that I could get the possession of that stone without anyone noticing. although it was me who took it in my control for the first time after 100 years obviously because I was destined to do it,! For this entire purpose I was born and everyone in my bloodline knew about it. That's why Alice declared my name 100 years before I was born so it was my destiny to get back the stone in my possession and reclaim the authority that the Forbes family had over it 100 years back. This stone is still not 100% functional because a part of it is still with Lily even though the powers ofLily'ss stone is nothing compared to what Alice was given maybe Richard Forbes had a favourite daughter after all, still I need the stone which Lily has to access the capabilities of it in full fledged manner. but it was not my primary concern right now because the timeline for reclaiming authority on the stone i
“I just cannot believe that Lily did something like that, I mean I know she is a opportunist, selfish and manipulative poison but I didn’t think that she could go so much overboard just to get what she wants”, I said in almost disbelief but Elvin interrupted me, “Oh trust me Lily is exactly this kind of person who could and who would do anything just so she can get away and I have been there and I’ve dealt with her going over the board and she tried to kill me my conspiring with her father and even managed to kill everyone else from my family so I will not say that I’m surprised by her”.Hearing these words come from elvin made me a bit of mad because I was on the edge of killing Lily I even if I would not have killed her I was definitely going to trap her in an endless trauma but it was none other than Elvin who convinced me to let her escape and it was because of that stupid pitch
