(Elina)I left granny's room to find my earring, however, other than that, I found Florence outside the room. The state I found her in was quite frightening."Did you burn yourself," I asked and reached for her hand when she withdrew it from sight? She was sweating so much as if she was going through pain."Elina, why don't you go back inside…" Florence said, sounding irritated and was about to walk away when I held her back. I wanted to see her hand. The burn didn't look ordinary."Let me see it, who hurt you.. did you burn yourself in the kitchen?" I asked while attempting to get hold of her arm. It was impossible when the lady kept shoving me away. She seemed furious which I failed to understand."That's enough Elina…stop meddling in my affairs!" She made a low yell and pushed me away before I could see and hurried down the passageway. I didn't want to follow her despite how curious I was. I watched her retreating form until she disappeared down the hallway.I didn't waste time but
Elina)“Are you certain…it's all the same?” I asked while checking the so-called different spices, I always wondered why Angel was so interested in restaurants. He wasn't needed, the last time I came here. They told me he was in the kitchen preparing for the food critic.“It's different, see the color… it might look the same but the taste and color are quite different,” the head chef said politely. I had to say she was a nice lady, I took a little between my fingers and rubbed it between my fingers before tasting it. It was sweet and tasted very delightful.“Wow, can we make sauce from this…it's perfect,” I tasted more, it was delightful? The lady saw what I was doing and chuckled“Yes, it can, in mustard, and it will taste even more delicious,” the lady said and showed me more ingredients to mix. I was pleased to learn a few cooking tips. I wanted to take interest in whatever the king did.I came to the restaurant to see him. However, I was told he had a few guests, and they were hav
Elina)“Elina, what are the stakes for,” Hazel whispered, trying certainly to lower her voice. I was busy stuffing more stakes in my backpack to mind her.“Vampires, you are in the vampire's territory…what do you think,” I said sarcastically and finished packing, I straightened up and looked at Hazel. She was sweating out of fear, but Violet was cool about it.“I…but, I can't kill” Hazel stammered, nearly shouting when Violet placed her hand on her mouth.“Keep your mouth shut,” Violet muttered through gritted teeth. I was wrong, Hazel was a cat.“Come this way and be careful not to draw attention,” I said and made my way down the dark passageway. We entered through a secret entrance, how I found it I didn't know. Even Violet was surprised how I knew there was a secret entrance. But we walked down the dark passageway until we came to an open space.“How can it be so creepy, I feel bugs crawling on my skin,” Hazel whispered and faked a shiver, indeed the place was horrible? How come th
Elina hurried through the dimly lit streets, anxiety coursing through her veins. Detention had been dreadful, lasting longer than usual, and now she found herself walking home in the dead of night. The air was heavy with an eerie silence, broken only by the faint sound of her footsteps echoing against the pavement.“You know peanuts, it would have been better if…if you didn't ditch me,” she said over the phone, rolling her eyes in annoyance. She put her phone on the loudspeaker so she could talk to her friend easily.“First of all, say my name right… I told you not to mess with that Tessa…she's a snake,” her friend's voice echoed out throughout the space.“You are useless… I'm taking a shortcut back home,” It was a shame she got into a fight at school, now she was paying the consequences. “You should be careful, after all, you are … the Alpha's little bride,” her friend said with giggles, Elina let out a sigh and disconnected the call. Of course, she didn't forget that little detail.
(Elina)"What happened to you?" "Nothing okay," I said while keeping my best friend at arm's length. "You gotta be kidding…I was worried sick the last two days you didn't show up for school," "Forget it okay, it's not a big deal," I cut her off before she could go into her detective mode and ask me questions. “This… this is a two-way thing… we need to come up with a plan”“I'm not certain… sounds like trouble”“Elina, we are trying to solve this… I mean… W-what if the rascal hurts you” Hazel whispered while glancing around the cafeteria. Many people were eating. Hazel was a pain in the neck. I thought we could come here and have a decent meal after sickening class. Unfortunately, she didn't stop nagging me about different plans to escape my betrothal.“And I say cut it out… I told you about my secret…but that doesn't mean you should lecture me” I whispered back, not wanting anyone to hear our discussion. Hazel was my human friend. We attended the same school and did most mischievo
As soon as I reached my mom's room, I found her going through a few books. My mom was beautiful, calm, and kind-hearted. To my shame, she resembled my sister more than me. Both my sister and Mom had dark hair and dark eyesNo wonder I was called a freak. My hair color and eyes were different from the rest“You came early today… no tests” my mom asked without even turning around. With a smile, I rushed to her and hugged her from behind. “Sweet mother, you know I can't stay away from you,” I said, tightening my grip around her. The reason I didn't want to go was because of my mom and sister.These two meant the world to me. Leaving so soon was hurting me… I had to take care of them both. Who knew what would happen if I left“Young lady, do you need anything?” Mom asked and shrugged me away. Of course, she knew me very well. “Mom…come” Grabbing her hand I led her to the sofa. She sat down gracefully and I did the same. Looking at her, she seemed worried. I wanted to ask but dropped the
Elina was more than happy. Dressed in a black leather mini skirt reaching mid-thigh high with a matching strapless crop shirt. The black ankle boots went with the outfit. The small crop shirt showed off her toned belly, her blonde hair falling to her waist in waves.“Woah!” various screams erupted in the room even though the music was loud. Elina shyly made her way inside the club. The club in particular had an attached hotel. Hazel told her it had rooms where most lovers took shelter whenever they drank more than they should have. She had no idea that Andy was throwing her birthday bash in such a place.“What's up baby girl… looking hot” one of the guys passed commented when she walked right past them.“Hey, Elina… how about a dance” one of them blocked her way. With ease, Elina brushed her hair off her face and looked at the boy busy trying to flirt with her.“Melvin… are you seriously trying,” she said, arching her brows at him. The music was too loud and the many boys dancing with
Thunderstorms brought the ugliest memories, the heavy pounding of rain on the roof made it sound like the roof was about to cave in. The coldness from the wind made it hard for Elina to think."No…let me go!" She screamed her lungs out as she struggled to breathe."Mine!" Growls erupted from the man's blood-filled mouth. Her fragile form was trapped beneath the half-naked man."Ahh! This…this is a mistake…let go!" The icy feeling in her heart extended deep into her bones. No matter how she screamed, begged, and kicked. She was still in the man's hold."Little one ... .you better…keep still," the man moaned, this time he loosened his grip on her, and Elina felt cold fingers tracing on her belly. Sucking in her breath. She recalled that voice."No…no…please…" she pleaded as her eyes opened, it was dark and she couldn't see the person's face. But why was his touch making her feel hot all over?“Ahh!” A loud cry left her trembling lips when her clothes were ripped off her body together wit
