“YESSS,” shrieking with excitement. “Your mother. Exactly. I knew you would guess it right.” She did a little dance of happiness.Agatha’s chest rises with anger, and she said, “What about my mother!”The clown lifted her hand to Agatha. “Ah. Now those are the right questions. What, why, where, and how.” Agatha was becoming impatient with this joyful clown. She demanded, “Why! Why are you after Juniper and me.”“Well,” the clown chattered her teeth then giggled. “before you, I wanted her.”“You wanted her?”“Yes. Yes, I did.”Agatha inhaled sharply as she knew who this woman was. She paled and said, “You’re the real face snatcher.”The clown’s thrilled laughter echoed the mountain top. “Yesss! I am! Ta-da!” She waved her arms openly.“The one I killed before was just one of your subordinate. She was just imitating you.”“Correct again. You’re a smart one indeed.”Agatha, realizing that if this is the real face snatcher then that means Juniper is probably being replicated right now.
“What is going on with her face?” asked Grump, leaping next to Austin.“Looks like she put on the wrong mascara,” said Orlanda.The clown’s lip slowly twitched at the corner of her lips. Her dark purple magic shrouded around her.Austin and Agatha both noticed her changes in features and also summoned up their power. Their magic glows around them.“Fine, the game starts.” She ripped off the pasty facemask and beneath it was a familiar face.They all gasped as to who they saw.“Witch doctor?” they all said.King Leonardo making a grand entrance in his wolf form stood behind all of them. His great wolf overshadowed them. He looked at the woman with his eyebrows narrowed at her. He scoffed and said, “Ripped off her face.”“Sure,” said Orlando.“Gladly,” said Grump.They both charged after the witch doctor.“What? Is she not the witch doctor?” asked Agatha.“No. She’s not,” answered her father.“Then, who is she?”“We’re about to find out.”The Eagle King hidden mark eagles stepped in fron
“Oh yeah,” said Agatha.“Yes, a cursed you are.”“Enlightened me,” said Agatha nonchalantly.Elva folded her arms and smiled as she said, “Because wherever you go, death follows. You kill everyone in your path." She was awaiting Agatha’s flare of anger. However, to her disappointment, Agatha didn’t flinch. In fact, she didn’t even show any emotions. It was as if the news didn’t effect her at all.Agatha remained silent. Her expression was motionless.A minute went by, and the wind was silently gusting around them.Agatha still didn't say anything. She just kept staring at Elva. She wasn’t hurt by those words anymore. Those long forgotten pain have subsided. Elva frowned as Agatha remained quiet and didn't react to what she just said. The wind blew as the dark clouds covered the sky again. The breeze brushes Agatha’s hair and it lightens her face.Elva gasped as Agatha was indeed the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. She was even more so than Maya. “You’re perfect,” she whispe
Elva’s face lying on the dirt and her eyes started to light up.“Kill!” exclaimed Agatha. Her magic beam shot from behind her and like a wave crashing into the rocks, her spell hit Elva.“AHHHHH!” screeched Elva.The mountain top started to shake and tremble. The tip of the hill was sparkling with ashes.“Shit!” shouted the Eagle King.Joseph loosened his talons and let go of King Leonardo. He looked at the Eagle King and shouted, “Eagle King, we cannot stay here any longer. We need to leave.”The Eagle King didn’t say anything. He looked at the lifeless body that was being wrapped by the vines of the earth.“The mountain is collapsing,” grunted King Leonardo.Austin looked at his wife. “Hey, darling, do you think you can ease it up a bit over there.”Agatha turned around and beamed at him, “Did I overkill?”Austin laughed.“Phew,” sighed Agatha. “Everything is finally over.Dust particles were flying everywhere. Just as everything started to clear something about Elva’s body didn’t l
“FUCK!” shouted the Eagle King. He then thought, “I need to escape. I need to regroup. I need to re-strategies everything.” His eyes narrowed at Austin. Austin shifted and he became pure black wolf. His brown eyes glared deathly at the Eagle King. The darkness took over his pupils. The Eagle King began to panic. For some reason he felt like he was dying. Like he couldn’t breathe. He was becoming breathless. He looked down to the tip of his feathers and he saw that he was shaking. “This man, this alpha, is definitely not an easy foe,” he thought. “Now, for you, you dickface!” growl Austin. The Eagle King backed away. He was scared. He was frightened. Austin’s forces was terrifying. He snapped his broken beak together a few times. “Screw this black wolf! Screw his beautiful luna! Screw all these people! I’m out of here.” He leaped into the sky trying to escape. “You won’t escape,” snarl Austin. His dark shadow reached towards the sky and grabbed hold of the Eagle King’s talon. T
DOWN BELOW"Austin," groaned Agatha.Austin stir. He opened his eyes and saw Agatha. "Agatha?" groaned Austin. "Oh my god, you're awake.""Agatha? Are we dead?""No. We're alive.""Where are we?""We're at the bottom of the waterfall.""But how are we in a tent?""Magic." Agatha showed him her space ring. "Oh. That explains why you keep having strange things popping out of nowhere.”“What?”“Ahhh, nothing,” groaned Austin. He remembered that only the olden ones have those space ring. They were quite rare. The rings have magic abilities that allows the carrier to store whatever he or she wants. It’s quite an amazing artifact. He looked at Agatha and was surprised she had one. He was happy that such valuable gift was still lingering around.“Umm, are you okay?” asked Agatha, tilting her head at him.He nodded his head as he looked at the tent. He asked, “You put this thing in your space ring?”"Yes. It comes in handy, doesn't it?""I guess so," grumbled Austin, as he held onto his sto
He could feel her scent of mate radiating off of her…Austin’s hands reached for her waist. "Austin let's get you well first," said Agatha, panting against his lips. Austin shook his head and said, "No.”“You’re not well enough yet.”“Yet?” he questioned her.“Well, you know to do the thing,” said Agatha, shyly blushing.“Thing?”“Yes. You know what a man and woman does when they’re in heat.”Austin frowned at her. Irritated, he flipped her onto the mattress.“Austin- Austin,” gulped Agatha.“How do you know I’m not capable of doing it?”“I-I- I just assumed with your injuries-”“Well, my beautiful Agatha, you know nothing.” He kissed her hungrily on her lips.Agatha was becoming breathless. “Austin, I know you can, but right now we need to focus on getting you better.”“What?”“I don’t want your wounds to open and get infected.”He sighs as it is true to what she is saying. He couldn’t afford getting sick. If he does fall ill there is no one here to help him recover. He tapped her
Austin lifted her hand to his chest. "Feel my heartbeat."She spread her fingers across his broad chest."What do you feel?""It's beating.""Ah-huh." He leaned into her neck and whispered, "What else?"She closed her eyes and touched him again. "It's beating fast.""And?"Agatha sniffed around him. "There's a smell coming from you.""What would that be?"She closes her eyes. A sweet smell was emitting from him. She knew exactly what it was. She had smelt it often from him before. "It's a smell of bonding. A need to mate.""You're correct."Agatha opened up her eyelids. She moved her hand away from his chest. "But-But Austin….I- I… I don’t want… At the end of the year….” Pain swoop through her heart. She didn’t want to lose him. She didn’t want to part from him. Not for the rest of her life. She knows now that he is everything to her. He is the one she wants. Her mate. Everything they have gone through have test of their love. But the contract, the contract is binding."Do you underst
“How could you be so reckless,” he said to her but at a distance.“Well, it wasn’t my fault, was it,” said Lily, fixing her dress.“You knew that sending out that signal could triggered the enemy to find you, yet you did it to have Peter find us.”“Yes. If I didn’t, then we wouldn’t be found, and…” she flipped her head to him. “We wouldn’t be able to stop the Mystical Dragon when we did.”Solomon lifted her off the ground and placed her on his lap. “Please, stop trying to make yourself vulnerable.”“I wasn’t.”“Yes, by putting yourself in danger, you are baited.”“But,” said Lily, wrapping her arms around his neck.“But what,” asked Solomon, daring to want to hear more.“I got you.”Solomon smiled at her remarks. He licked her lips and begged for more. He sucked on her tongue till they were a dripping mess.“Solomon,” puffed Lily.“Yes?” he said, breathlessly.“Seriously, we are running out of time, no more sex,” she panted against his lips, but wouldn’t let go of him either.“Humph! T
PRESENT Solomon grabbed Lily by the waist and tilted her chin to him. “If you ever do something that foolish again, I swear, I will-” Lily started crying. Of course she was sad for what she did, but she couldn’t live with the pain. Living life without him is more painful than living a life alone. Solomon saw that he have made her upset again and said, “I’m sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry.” Lily whimpered into his chest. Solomon patted her on the back to soothe her from crying. After Lily have calmed down he nibble on her lips and said, “I only said those things to you to get you away from me.” Kiss her here and there and continues woeing her. “I was only trying to save you.” Lily’s tears fell once again. Solomon deepened his kiss. “I swear I didn’t mean anything that I've said to you.” Those words just made it worse, not in a bad way, but in a good way. The kind of feeling where you are happy when you eat ice cream on a hot day. She was warming up rapidly as she knew
“The Mystical Dragon have appeared!” shouted Peter.Solomon knew that the creature was coming, but he didn’t expect it to come this fast.“Solomon, we have to stop it now!” cried Peter.Solomon summoned his magic, but he was still injured and couldn’t fully conjured his trap.Lily looked at the Mystical Dragon. It was dark and cold. Looking at it makes one’s soul sorrow beyond measures.“Don’t look at it!” shouted Solomon.Lily looked away. She wiped away her tears.“Whatever you do, don’t look it in the eyes. Nothing good will come of it.”Peter snapped himself from staring at the creature and said, “Solomon, seal it! Seal it now!”Solomon tried to complete the incantation, but he couldn’t. He was running out of energy. His wound was bleeding internally. “Solomon! What are you doing!”Sasha standing by said, “Stop shouting at him! He’s hurt.”Peter was shocked by the news. “Solomon… Solomon is that true?”Solomon look tiredly at his friend. “Yes.”Peter was inhaling small breaths of
“SHIT!” huffed Solomon. He was feeling the heating wave washing over him.“What? What is it?” asked Lily, with worry.“It’s- It’s kicking in.”“You mean the drug- The sexual need.”“Yes, what else,” questioned Solomon, trying to hold his sanity correctly.“Fuck!” swears Lily.“Damn! Damn it!” howl Solomon.“Oh, what do I do? What do I do?” asked Lily, circling him.“I’m running out of time.” Solomon spat out some blood.“Solomon! Oh, god!”“Fuck! Whoever did this wanted its victim to feel immediate urges as they are dying. This person didn’t want to waste any time. These dicks! Fucking while dying! What a disgusting joke!” he curses loudly.“Solomon, what- what do we do? What do I do?” she asked in low panic voice. This is the first time in her life where she didn’t know what to do. She was clueless as she didn’t know how to handle such a hot and intense situations.“What else?” expelled Solomon, breathlessly.“What?” Lily asked puzzlingly.“Sex,” he grunted. “We need to have sex.”Li
PRESENT“I was able to dodge the arrow,” said Solomon,“But I- I was- I was..." stuttered Lily. "Was, what?""I really was trying to save you.”He let an amusement of "Ah." Lily let out an unsatisfied gesture. “I mean it. I had no bad intentions whatsoever." “Right.""I mean how was I supposed to know that you were- you know- dodge it."Solomon tapped his head and said, "I got everything calculated in my head already. I knew where the directions of the arrow was going and where it was heading. I was going to miss it by a mile, until... well..."Lily pouted as he was directing her mistakes. Solomon grabbed her hand and slid it up his chest. “My calcuations was to make sure that it missed me and past right by you. So neither of us gets hit.""Oh, you can do that? Wow," said Lily, shockingly. "Ah-huh.""Well, I mean you're- the amazing and wonderful Solomon, so of course you can. It's a piece of cake to you I bet." Solomon leaned into her and said, “I timed it perfectly without any
FLASHBACKThe sun was rising quickly into mid-day.“Father, do you think we can catch that fawn?” asked Solomon.“Fawn? What for?” asked Austin.“I don’t know, to raise, I guess.”“Sure,” came Austin’s reply.Solomon was closing in on the fawn. "I almost got it father!" Just as soon as he was close enough, his senses went off. Something was coming fast at him. A fast flying arrow was coming towards them. “FATHER!” he shouted. He jumped into the air to dodge the arrow. Austin, seeing the arrow dodged it by a mere inch. He halted his horse from going any further and made a turn back to camp.Austin and Solomon rode quickly to base.“What is it?” asked Agatha, seeing their rush. “We got ambushed,” said Austin.“Ambushed,” frowned Agatha.“Yes. Now hurry, we must leave back to the fortress." Agatha nodded her head and hurried Lily along.“Grump!” summoned Austin.“Yes, my king,” said Grump, flashing in front of Austin.“Sound the alarm.”Grump, shocked by his alpha's command said, “My
FLASHBACK- 1 YEAR AND 6 MONTHS AGO (PLEASE REFER BACK TO END OF EPILOGUE SHORT STORY 8) From beyond that measure stood a handsome man. He was peeking at her. Solomon was staring down at his mate, Lily. Peeking at the woman who haunts his visions day and night. His hand pushed down a few branches to get a better view of her. Wow. She’s gotten more beautiful. But he wasn’t sure how that’s possible for she’s always been beautiful. From head to toe she’s a always gorgeous looking. Not one ounce could falter her fair look. In every single aspects no one comes close to her. She's that beautiful. The wind brushed by and Lily’s hair drifted around, making her look like an angel. Solomon lost his breath and forgotten to breathe for a moment. Damn! She’s stealing my breath every single time I see her. “Solomon!” shrill Peter.“Shh!” hushed Solomon.“What? What is it?” asked Peter, he was angling himself down. He was trying to be stealth as to not be noticed. He looked around to see where the
BEDCHAMBER Solomon sat at the edge of the bed. He was nearly dressed. From his waist down he was fully clothed.Flora finally woke up and grabbed the comforter to cover her naked body. She was sore in places she didn’t think possible. She grabbed onto her stomach as he was too rough with her last night. It was a night filled with pain and pleasure. She swears she wouldn’t be able to walk with the punishment he gave her last night.Solomon’s back was against her. He seemed to be concentrating.She study him. He seems to be thinking. Deeply in his mind, he seems to be lost. She didn’t stir as she was afraid she might disrupt his train of thoughts.Solomon’s voice came without him looking at her, “Are you done?”She gripped harder onto the sheet.With her silence he turned his head slightly to look at her. “So, when does it end?”“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Solomon flipped around so fast that she didn’t even get a chance to respond. His lips cracked upon his still face. Hi
Flora was being handed off to another man. This man lifted her into his arms. She could hear him chuckling with amusement. No. No! No! She flanges her legs in refusal of going with this man. As she struggles the man nearly dropped her. She felt her body nearly touching the ground, but she didn’t hit the hard ground, instead she was being lifted. High and above she felt like flying and onto the man’s broad shoulder she went. The man held her firmly without losing any grip.“Let go! Let go of me!” she shouted.She didn’t know what was going on. One minute she was in her house then everything went dark. A misty fragrant slide into her room and she was knocked out from the drug.THIRTY MINUTES AGOIt was dark. It was cold. Not a sound echoed the room. A thick black cloth folded over her eyes. She couldn’t see anything. Her hands were tied and bonded together.“Take her away,” said a man with a deep voice.Flora was scared now. She didn’t want to be kidnapped. She didn’t want to be taken a
