“Hey dad, I’m going off to work now, don’t forget to eat and take care of yourself.”, she reminded him as she kissed him on his cheek and left the house. “Take care too, sweetheart!”, he said. (I’m happy for her…she looks like she’s getting better now. That’s good.), Zoey’s father thought to himself until he knocked against something by mistake and picked up a bag. “Shit…Zoe….you took the wrong bag…”, he muttered under her breath but it was too late to catch up with her because she was far gone. Just then, he saw something that peeked out of the bag. A picture. Leo dropped her bag in shock to see who it was, he even had to double-check his eyes. His jaw ticked. He went down to the basement and stayed there for the rest of the day. Later that evening “Hey dad, I’m home!”, she exclaimed as she sang a sweet lullaby. Leo, her father just sat in the dining room with his arms folded until she poked him to check if he was okay, he got up and went to his room. (Huh…why did he flinch as
‘GASP’ She made a loud sound as she saw wolves inside the cottage which made her clasp her hands over her mouth quickly. Her body involuntary moved backward, it was like they didn’t even see Alex’s body, which she thought was good but also scary because they were after one person. Her. Just then, one of the wolves jumped on her but was soon pulled and thrown against the wall by Alex. The other wolves trembled back in fear as they saw Alex take the wolf by its neck and just before he could kill it, he felt a hand pull him back. It was Zoey, she shook her head no, but Alex growled at her but she stood her ground as she then tightened her grip on his arm. “No, Alex.”, she warned him but with a warm and soothing voice. He let go of the wolf and immediately all the wolves ran away. “Did you get hurt-”, they both asked in unison. Just then she laughed as she wrapped her arms around him tightly and hugged him as tight as possible as she teared up, he started to coo to her and hug her bac
‘BOOM’ A loud sound went off as fire went off in the warehouse and the force of the fire made her fall flat. “No no no no no….NO!”, she yelled from the top of her lungs as tears rolled down her face and one hand on her bruised ribs with the other covering her mouth in shock. “I am not done with you yet Zoey.” She felt herself being held in a choke-lock, she knew who it was. Arthur. Zoey tried to pull him off her but she continue to fail, just before Arthur could stab her using the medallion, she bit on his arm and stomped on his foot, then she hit his head with the back of hers causing him to let go of her. Zoey tumbled out of his arms and fell to the floor she gasped for air and put her hands around her neck gently. She knew she wouldn’t make it out alive, especially in a fight with a vampire, and Arthur above all. So she ran into the woods and brushed herself against the trees that had dew drops of water that started to fall on her skin as she moved against them and she ran ove
“I guess I can’t even leave you alone for one second.” Zoey heard a deep, gruff voice that shocked her and which had woke her out of her drunken state. She then lifted the bottom of the dress slowly without making any noise, as she reached for her gusset which have a knife held to it, she pulled it out slowly and then flung it at the intruder swiftly, but the intruder managed to catch the knife with his bare hands. “Well… that’s one way to greet an old friend…or boyfriend for that fact.”, the gruff, sexy voice added as he threw the knife to one side and started to walk towards Zoey. Her in widened in shock as she clasped her hands over her mouth. “Oh my god…”, she muttered softly under her breath. “Alex!”, she shouted as she ran towards him, jumping on him and hugging him tightly. “I’ve missed you so much…”, she added as tears filled her eyes. Alex held her tight in his arms and carried her. “I missed you too baby.”, Alex added as he softly kissed her cheeks. “Wha…what are you d
Lily’s POV “Lily…Lily?”, a voice woke me up and out of my daydreaming, which made him chuckle, as his dimples pressed in, showing his beautiful pearls. A perfect smile any girl would dream of having in a man. “Daydreaming again, huh?”, Dante asked as he ruffles my hair. He knew I hated it, he just probably wanted to make my day more miserable than anything else. I groaned as I realized I had to redo my hair again, but before I could, I slapped his back playfully, but hard. “What the hell Dante! You know I don’t like my hair to be touched or ruffled.”, I added as I tried to brush through my ginger hair curls. “I’m so getting you for this!”, I yelled at him. “Woah, easy tiger, you got to go to work in a few minutes, we wouldn’t want to ruin that gorgeous look of yours now, would we?”, he said as his dimples pressed in again and he winked at me. Dante, Zoey, and I have been friends for longer than we could all remember. We don’t even bother to dwell on it. I’ve always liked Dante in
The next day Zoey choked on her iced tea as she heard the news from Lily. “GIRL! WHAT!”, Zoey exclaimed in shock as she wiped her mouth and left her ice tea back down and her eyes widened. “Zoey, shush!”, Lily whispered to her. “Okay, okay wait…”, Zoey said as she started to rub her temples as if she was stressed out, and then she looked at Lily with a poker face and started to laugh. Zoey was never the type that dragged attention to herself, but she burst out laughing and applauding for Lily. Lily exhaled as she waited for Zoey to calm down. They didn't work for the day because it was a national holiday, and they both had big news to tell each other, so it was a perfect ‘Girl's day out. “Are you about done?”, Lily asked as she held her head with one hand leaning on the table. “Yeah, I am now.”, Zoey said as she gave one last big laugh. “So you're telling me that Dante confessed to you last night and you spent the night at his house?”, Zoey asked as her eyes gleamed with excite
“Perfect.”, his mother said quietly. “You’ve both passed the test.” “WHAT?”, they said in unison. “Well, my work is done.”, Dante’s mother said as she stood up from her seat. “I needed to see if you would be a gold digger, and I needed to see how strong my son’s mindset is when it’s set on something or someone to be exact.” Dante and Lily were left speechless as they turned their heads to look back at each other. “I hope you two will have fun and take good care of each other.”, Dante’s mother said as she gave hugs to Lily and Dante. She then gave Lily the two envelopes in her hand. “Keep the money as a gift from a mother to daughter, so you can buy something beautiful for yourself. And keep the pictures as a souvenir darling.”, she said as she kissed Lily’s cheeks before she could leave. Lily was so touched by this act that she actually started to tear up and she hugged his mother back, because she grew up without parents, and the only father figure she had was Leo. Dante hel
A couple of days later “Wait, what?”, Lily asked Zoey confused. “You said that Eddie came back after all these years?” “Yeah, and the funny thing is…Alex hates him.”, Zoey added as she gave out a dry laugh and hugged her pillow tightly over her chest and her cell phone between ear and shoulder. “I can understand…but sweetheart, you’ve got to know… he had a choice to tell you before he left you, he chose not to. If I was you…I’d wait, I wouldn’t trust him so easily. It all seems too good to be true, it’s fishy.”, Lily stated. “It can’t get any worse though, you know?”, Zoey added “You’re a bit naive when it comes to love, but you have got to understand that you’re not only living your life for yourself, you’re living it with your fiance too, how do you think he would manage if he finds out that Mr. Jerk, Eddie, hurt you and abandoned you in the past?”, Lily stated, which immediately made Zoey’s head turn to face Alex who was fast asleep. “From what I can tell…Alex really loves you
A week later Blaze packed up the last thing he had left to pack. He huffed out as he looked at the picture in the frame that he broke the week before. He trailed his fingers on Aella’s face that was taken on that prom night when they kissed each other. Blaze huffed out as he put the frame in the box and closed up the box with tape. Blaze’s flashback Zara placed her hands on Blaze’s chest and started to dance. Blaze frowned and grabbed her hands tightly, pushing her away. “What the hell do you think you are doing?!”, Blaze yelled at Zara, embarrassing her. “Are you blind? I got a girlfriend already!”, he snapped at her. “I wouldn’t make a scene if I was you because I saw her making out with Steve.”, Zara whispered in his ear and took Blaze’s crown off his head and decided to wear it. Blaze was left confused because Aella didn’t even know Steve in the first place. ‘Imagine when he finds out his precious little girlfriend has been locked in the gym all alone with someone!’, Blaze h
Aella’s PovI woke up and stretched gently as opened my eyes to look at the calendar. It’s my big day. I take out my bucket list and tick off the necessary ones that deal with Blaze. He’s my everything. It has been tough on me recently, especially hiding the fact from Blaze that I feel a bit more sick than usual, but I’m pretty sure it’s nothing.Later on in the eveningI decided to take another shower, after I was done I dressed up in my robe. Dad knocked on the door.“Come in.”, I said and he does so.“Hey, nugget. How are you feeling?”, Dad asked me.“I’m good dad, just getting ready for prom night.”, I answered. I’m still shocked that they decided to have a particular fairytale theme, it shouldn’t be too hard for me.“Are you sure that you will be okay tonight?”, Dad asked me for the fifth time already.“I’m sure. Everything will go well.”, I said as I gave him a kiss on his cheek and he went out of the room, giving me privacy to change.I decided to use baby blue glittery eyeshad
Blaze sat in his room in confusion, anger, and hatred. He picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.“Hello?”, the person picked up.“I’m coming with you.”, Blaze said.“We leave the following day.”, Alex said.“Understood.”“Blaze. Is everything okay?”, Alex asked with his voice laced with concern.“Yeah, I just realized that pixies and vampires never mix well.”, Blaze huffed out....“Aella…I think there’s a way to save you.”, Dave stated.“How?”, Aella frowned in confusion.“I think that you need to go with Blaze…because I think it would be a safer option.”, Dave said.“I don’t get it. What do you mean by that?”, Aella questioned.“If Blaze is of royal blood, then that means they are going to stay in the Great Queen Mary’s castle.”, Dave answered.“Woah! Are you serious?!”, Aella exclaimed.Dave nodded.“What about you…? Do you think you could come along too?”, Aella asked.“I can’t. But if Alex is going, I trust him. You need to mend things with Blaze.”, Dave said.“It’s not
Aella had another nosebleed and she got frantic about it.“No…not now…”, she muttered under her breath.Aella paced around the room anxiously, after what seemed like an hour, someone opened the room door and Aella rushed to it. Blaze opened and closed the door. As soon as Blaze closed it, Aella jumped on him and crossed her legs around his waist, and kissed him deeply. Blaze responded to her kisses and walked over to the bed where he placed her down gently and kissed her roughly.“What happened?”, Blaze chuckled breathlessly after he pulled away.“Nothing… I was just wondering how you were going to react when you found out they were your parents.”, Aella answered.“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”, Blaze questioned.“I tried to….but I didn’t have the right chance to tell you.”, Aella stated as she bit her lip.Blaze glanced at her lips and had a devilish smirk plastered on his face.“What?”, Aella let out a light chuckle.“Did I ever tell you how sexy you look when you bite your lip?”,
Aella’s flashbackAella woke up groggy to find herself in a chair with ropes wrapped around her in an old warehouse.“Argh…”, Aella groaned as she picked up her head.“Took you long enough to wake up.”, Jazz stated.Aella froze as she started to recall what had happened. She began to pull her hands closer but nothing worked.“It’s no use to struggle love.”, Jazz said.“Shut up!”, Aella yelled at her.Jazz laughed and put up her hands in surrender.“Sure, but you wouldn’t like who is going to talk to you.”, Jazz stated before walking out of the room and closing the door.“Wait! What the hell do you mean?”, Aella screamed at the top of her lungs.Aella hung her head low hopelessly but he wasn’t planning on giving up. Aella closed her eyes as she tried to calm down and a light glow surrounded her as she tried to shrink but every time she tried she got shocked by the collar around her neck.End of flashback“I…was threatened by your crazy aunt.”, Aella snorted.“Alexa?”, Blaze asked.“No…
Two weeks laterAella stepped out of a black van and had a hoodie over her head and started to walk.She stopped and looked straight at the school.“I’m sorry Blaze…I have no other choice…They forced me to this.”, Aella whispered to herself....Aella closed her locker and she immediately saw Blaze and Zara walking together, with linked arms. Aella let out a shaky breath as tears formed at the corner of her eyes while she stood there dumbstruck. She seemed to notice something…Blaze looked happy. Blaze smiled as he talked to Zara, he froze as soon as he picked up his gaze to meet Aella’s heartbroken eyes. Blaze immediately pulled away from Zara and started to walk to Aella. Aella scoffed and she ran away to turn into a miniature size pixie. Aella sat in her locker and started to cry as she saw Blaze looking for her.Aella placed a hand over her mouth to cover her sob.Aella’s flashbackAella’s body went cold soon as she realized that they had passed the same tree with a blue ribbon.
“That’s what I used to think too.”Aella turned around in shock to find a middle-aged woman leaning against the wall in the shadows. The woman walked forward, revealing herself out of the shadows.“Woah…who the hell are you?”, Aella asked instantly.“Some who’s going to protect you. I need you to come with me.”, the woman stated as she tied up her red hair.“Tell me your name first.”, Aella demanded.“You’re a stubborn one, aren’t you?”, the woman let out a light chuckle.“Better stubborn than sorry. By the way that you're holding that knife behind you’re back, it’s quite clear that you are being hostile toward me. Don’t you think so?”, Aella asked as she stood up.The woman had a sinister smirk on her face, before charging at Aella. Aella quickly dodge and grabbed the woman’s hand and placed it behind her back. Aella stretched her hand out to the vase in her room and it immediately came into the palm of her hand, Aella smashed the vase on the woman’s head. The woman immediately broke
Blaze was about to leave the room when Aella pulled gently at the hem of his shirt and he turned around.“What’s wrong?”, Blaze asked“I need to know something, not that it matters or anything!”, Aella fumbled.“Speak.”, Blaze said.“We’re not an item…are we?”, Aella asked.“Of course not!”, Blaze exclaimed like it was obvious, he clenched his fists tightly and walked away.Aella felt a bit taken aback. She sighed and walked quickly behind Blaze.“Hey, Blaze! Get a chair out for Aella!”, Alexa demanded Blaze.Aella frowned at how Alexa knew her name but she brushed it off.“I should probably get going. It’s a lovely house and thank you for inviting me over.”, Aella said as she tried to excuse herself.“Why don’t you join us for dinner, Aella?”, Alexa asked.Aella looked at Blaze and back to her. Blaze quickly averted his gaze from her and to the floor.“Uh…I should get going…it’s late.”, Aella stumbled through her words.“Aella, I insist.”, Alexa said as her eyes had a light glow.Bla
“Hey…wake up.”, Blaze shook Aella lightly but she didn’t seem to wake up.Blaze tilted his head as he watched her sleep peacefully. He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Aella woke up slowly and Blaze quickly pulled his hand away.“Do you think you can stand?”, Blaze asked.“Yeah, but where are we…?”, Aella asked as she looked around.“Well…you’re in my Aunt’s husband’s car and we are parked out front in my house.”, Blaze stated sarcastically.“Gee…thanks genius.”, Aella said.“No problem!”, Blaze exclaimed and Aella flipped Blaze off as they begin to laugh.“Are you sure I won’t be an inconvenience to you?”, Aella asked cautiously with her head down in shame.“I promise.”, Blaze gave his word.“Okay…”, Aella said softly and got out of the car.Aella missed her balance and fell. Blaze quickly got out and rushed to her side.“Shit…sorry…I forgot to tell you to mind your step.”, Blaze said as he picked her up and gestured to the elevated 4x4.“Nah, it’s okay.”, Aella said as she tr
