ELIAS' POV

I gazed at the woman before us. Even with all the gloom that seemed to have descended on her, she still had a beautiful face that emerged from simplicity.

She had large brown eyes that seemed to hold so much sadness that they could not seem to look upwards.

Her lips were dry, and a little cracked, looking like they were once a pale pink. Her face was a soft oval and for some reason, I pitied her. I didn't know what had happened or what had made her that way, but I felt compassion for her.

She raised her head, and the black scarf she was wearing slipped off her head.

There, full on her head was a beautiful fall of red hair. It had been packed messily into a bun at the back of her head and a few strands came loose with the scarf, flowing in the direction of the wind.

"This is Ashley." My mum introduced, placing her hands on Ashley's shoulders. "Ashley, meet Elias and Scarlet. Elias is my son and Scarlet…" she hesitated. "She's more like a daughter I wasn't opportuned to have.

    SCARLET’S POVAll through the day after Elias had disappeared, probably to speak with his parents, I noticed that he had been moody.He wasn’t seeming as bright as earlier before his parents got back from their trip, or did something transpire between them?I didn’t want to ask him or make it look even more awkward by asking if there was anything wrong, but I could feel it right in my bones that he was in a sour mood, and that was quite disturbing.I came out from the corner I was watching him from, then went to sit beside him on the sofa.“Hey.” I called to his attention, and then he turned to me.“Didn’t hear you coming.” Elias said, with a smile that seemed like he managed to put it up.“Well, that’s because you’re thinking. You’re worrying about something, aren’t you?”Elias chuckled awkwardly as his eyes fluttered like he had been caught off-guard.“No…No. I’m not worrying.”“You know you can’t lie to me.” I said to him, not feeling convinced.“I know, Scarlet. But regardless, ev

    ELIAS’ POVWhat my mother had said about I getting married to Ashely was still disturbing me and eating at my heart like the way a termite does to make a building crumble.It was beginning to feel more like a tensed feeling, building up in my chest, and not giving me a breathing space. I rose to my feet, and thought of what to do to get all these out of my head.Oh, yeah. I can call Ralph. Probably some sparring would take these off my mind. I grabbed my phone which was on the table, and then dialed his contact.“Hey Ralph. Up for some sparring?”“Sure, yeah. Where’s the meeting point?” Ralph asked.“Well, let’s meet at the palace sparring ground.”“Alright, will be there in thirty.”I hung up the call, and then looked towards our matrimonial bedroom. I could imagine how she was going to feel if she figured out that my parents weren’t considering her to get married to me.It would hurt her beyond measure. Scarlet and I have gone through highs and lows together. It’s going to be unfair

    SCARLET’S POVMy last encounter with Ashely made me feel calm and okay about any meeting we come to have again. In fact, she seems like she could be a new friend.We have a few major things in common. Most especially the fact that we both lost our parents to gruesome fate. I could understand what Ashley was going through now, and I know that right now, she certainly needs someone who can be there for her.It’s just the way I needed someone badly when my mother died, but I was lucky. I had Carla and Elias by my side, and that was comforting. My best friend and my lover.It wouldn’t hurt if I try to be someone she can lean on. Someone she can trust and come to, whenever things were seeming a bit sour for her.I decided to prepare a present for her to give to her today. That would make her feel happy and to realize that someone was actually thinking of her, and has good intentions for her.I placed my index finger on my philtrum, and leaned my thumb against my chin as I began to think ab

    ELIAS' POV.Ashley looked horrified when she saw the chandelier with its pieces of glass shattered and scattered across the floor.Her mouth hung open, and she couldn't stop staring at it.“Are you okay?” I asked, and she turned to me, sharply, like I had startled her. She looked at me briefly, nodded, and turned back to the chandelier. “Oh…” she breathed out, and raised her shaking hands to her face. She must have been scared out of her mind. Who wouldn't be, seconds after a chandelier could have crushed them?I got to my feet, and raised her gently by the shoulders. Already, maids were scampering to the spot, looking horrified, with their gazes shifting from me and Ashley to the mess on the floor.They apologized, and although I couldn't understand their reasons for apologizing, I left them. Then they began to clean it up.“Thank you so much. Thank you.” She said, looking at me with gratitude shining in her eyes.“No, it's fine. Are you sure you're okay?”“Yes, yes, I'm fine. Luck

    SCARLET’S POVIt was now evident and certain that my hunch about Ashley is real, and not just based on jealousy. I didn’t need to disregard such when it comes to my mind.I can’t just be jealous just anyhow, without understanding the fact that as a young prince, Elias could be getting advances, and it doesn’t mean he’s going to fall for them all of a sudden.But then, since that moment when I slapped Elias, I haven’t set my eyes on him, and it was becoming worrisome. I was annoyed, but then, I had calmed down a bit, and all I needed from him were answers.I decided to wait for him to get back, because he wasn’t around, and I also needed to tell him what I discovered; the trance I had, the moment I left Ashley.I paced around the bedroom, expecting him to come anytime soon as it was nightfall already, but I was beginning to get tired as the minutes passed by.I checked my phone, and noticed it was getting late already, then I dialed his contact.

    ELIAS' POV.I walked in with Ashley, talking about random things. Ashley was actually interesting to talk to. She was always shy, and looking like a puppy, but getting to know her, she had some nice attributes to her too. I looked at her, and smiled. I had never really seen her as a partner I could converse with, but at the moment, I could see a little of what my mum saw in her. “We have to try that very soon. I hear there's a reward for whoever is successful on their first try. I would appreciate it if we could try it together.” She suggested, turning to me, and stared at me, with her eyes twinkling in delight. “We can. I'm sure we will make it on our first try. I don't really need whatever reward they're offering, but of course, you can have that.” I replied, with my hands in my pockets, and as I looked away from her, I spotted Scarlet walking towards me, with her eyes alight in joy. How could she approach me with such a look in her eyes after calling me a cheat, and giving me

    SCARLET'S POV. Did Elias just walk past me? Did he just give me the cold shoulder? No, I couldn't believe my eyes. Why… why would he do that?How could he just walk past me and… and… Oh my god…Elias had looked me in the eye, and had ignored me, even when I had been so happy to see him. My suspicions were confirmed. He was cheating. He was having an affair with someone, or if truly what I had seen the previous night was a hallucination, then he was having an affair with Ashley. He was cheating on me…I turned around, and saw Ashley place her hand gently around Elias' arm. He didn't turn, and didn't take his arm out of her gentle grasp either. Then Ashley turned, and looked at me. She didn't smile, nor did she mouth any foul word. She simply looked at me, like she was telling to watch what was happening clearly, with my own eyes. She tightened her hold on Elias, and it began to seem like she was the one leading him away.What was happening? Since when had Ashley become so close to

    ELIAS' POV.I don't know what woke me, but it felt as if I had been plunged into a deep sleep. My eyes opened, feeling drowsy, and I felt ridiculously heavy. However, the heaviness didn't seem to be coming from my body.Rather, it seemed to be coming from the dull thump in my chest— my heartbeat.I placed a hand on my chest, and gave a sigh. Why did it hurt as much as that? A dull and heavy thump supposed to make me feel a little numb; why did it feel like I wanted to crawl underneath my covers, and let my tears fall?Oh… it was Scarlet. I could recall the previous night vividly. I had stepped into her room, only to see her kissing another man in a frenzy. They had been fast progressing into something else.Maybe they had sex, I didn't know. What was funny was I didn't recall what happened next, nor did I recall my journey back home, or me falling asleep.Did I drink again? How much did I drink for it to erase my memories of what had happened after seeing Scarlet with another man?O

    SCARLET'S POV. Egg after egg dropped, filling the space, and I couldn't help the feeling of raw panic eating me up. I had ever seen such a monster with different traits. It has pincers like scorpions and made loud noises. It buzzed like a bee, and was so solid even though it was made of ants. It was laying eggs which was really unbelievable, but what scared me was that I didn't know what would happen if the eggs happened to hatch. What creature would we see there, and how would they eat us up?I took in deep breaths, as me and Elias were pushed together. I couldn't help myself. It felt like I would suddenly scream, and go out. The eggs fell against us, and it was then I knew I couldn't help myself. “Elias!” I called out, as my hand closed over his shirt tightly. My mouth opened wide, and I fought for breath, but couldn't find it. “Scarlet, Scarlet, breathe!” Elias said, looking at me intently, as I hit my chest, trying to breathe. My eyes filled up with tears, and it felt like I w

    RALPH'S POVEstelle looked at us all, enjoying the looks of shock on the faces of the men. Then she walked over to me, and bent, placing a hand on the table, and the other behind my chair. I wouldn't deny the ice in her eyes. Everything about her seemed cold, and although I hated her being that close to me, I did not budge. I stared at her right in the eye, without fear. “You must be having a hard time, right?” She spoke softly. “Well, I've had a harder time.” She said, then straightened up, without taking her eyes off me for a second. She seemed to built for revenge, and in her eyes were the echoes of pain, and cold. She took a few steps backwards, before giving a smile that didn't reach her eyes, then she turned away, walking out of the hall. The elders all looked like they had been holding their breaths, and they let it out quickly, looking at each other. “I believe we've discussed all we need to discuss.” I said, getting to my feet. Sitting around, doing nothing was something

    RALPH’S POVI dressed in my room, trying hard so time wouldn't run out on me. There was a council meeting scheduled for the day, and I had to attend instead of Elias. The council elders had sent in multiple envelopes, all demanding to see Elias. ‘Where is the Alpha?’‘What is the Alpha planning on doing?’‘Is Alpha Elias aware that things are becoming even worse?’They had sent in all kinds of questions, and I understood their impatience. It was all stemming from the fear Estelle had woven into their hearts. A knock came on my door. “Come in.” I said, brushing my hair. If I didn't look my best, they would assume Elias didn't know what he was doing, and that he had just put some random person on his throne. I really hoped he and Scarlet would make it back alive, and quickly because I was in no way fit for an Alpha. A maid walked in with toast on a tray. “No, no, I'm fine. I didn't ask for breakfast.” I said, but she didn't retreat. “Before leaving, Alpha Elias gave me strict ord

    SCARLET’S POVWe fell mercilessly, hitting the rough edges, getting bruises all over. I landed on the ground with my head in an awkward position, before straightening up, and looking at Elias, who was sprawled on the ground, breathing hard, as he looked up at the sky. I looked around. Apparently, we had fallen in some kind of hole. Due to taking quick hasty breaths, the dust managed to get into my nose, and I sneezed hard. We heard the strange buzzing sound, and I covered my mouth, only for another sneeze to come true. I sneezed again, and Elias scrambled to his fist to cover my mouth. I held his hand there, willing myself not to sneeze. Eventually, I let out a tiny one, and with my eyes watering, I looked around, taking Elias' hands off my mouth. Everywhere was dusty. It was probably because we had fallen through it. All the dust seemed to be settling. “What do we do now?” I whispered, giving a little cough, as I tried to swipe the dust away from settling on my face.“I think w

    THIRD PERSONIt wasn't just Elias who felt the tendrils of fear squeezing his heart. Scarlet felt it too, and it felt like her chest was on fire, just from wondering what would happen. The mere terror that the clanging sound generated made her heart beat faster at every clang. It was too much for her to handle. She looked around repeatedly, and the soft wind whipped her hair into her face, which she brushed back with both hands. Already, her palms were cold and sweaty, and the anxiety was just too much. She needed the suspense to be over. “What do you think that is?” She asked Elias, still looking around, trying to guess what could be the reason for the weird sound. “I have no idea.” Elias replied, as the sound grew louder. “We should… I think we should move on.” Scarlet suggested, wanting to make a move. It was so obvious that whatever was approaching them with the weird sound wasn't single. It wasn't two, nor was it three. It was definitely a lot.“I say we wait.” Elias replied,

    ELIAS’ POVI couldn't understand the fear and anxiety filling me up. It wasn't the first time Scarlet and I had been on a journey, or been faced with dangerous creatures, and people, but still there was that nervousness. That whispering voice that told me my fears were not twisting lies in my head, but trying to bore the truth into me. Something really awful could happen, and I might be unable to escape it with Scarlet by my side. Either way, I hated the feeling. The whole place spoke, and gave an aura of power, dark power, and it boasted too easily of how we could get killed. It was the main reason for my fears. The man looked at us, and even without the features on his face, I was somehow able to tell that he had a smile on. Then, I looked at Scarlet. She also seemed lost in thoughts, and it would be the best time to try to convince her, but she would despise me for it. It was better I carried out her wish, than to let my fear get the best of me. “We are willing to try. After

    Scarlet and Elias couldn’t help but admit within themselves that they were overwhelmed by fear. Elias knew how dangerous the journey was, and this made him even more scared. “Well, hello.” The man spoke, in an eerie tone. “Who the hell are you?” Elias managed to question him, as they were both wary of him. “A question which actually isn’t the major concern. But I’ll tell you one thing. If you dare try to escape, because it’s only expected of you to want to run from me, you won’t be able to get to the world beyond.” “Uhn!” Elias exclaimed softly, not knowing whether to believe the man or not. “Yeah. To make things more understandable for you, I am the passage to the world beyond, which only means without me, you can’t go into the world beyond. So, now, I hope you know that it is only unwise of you to run from me. And if you have enough time to waste, you can actually run from me, and when you realize you’ve been wasting your time, you’ll come back, and definitely meet me here.” Bo

    SCARLET’S POV It was dawn already, and was time for us to set out for her journey. If it was an outing, I would have been so excited about it, but then, it was a dangerous journey which we are just going on for the sake of a friend which we have taken as a family. Even from the name, the world beyond, one would have known that it isn’t a place one can take lightly. For Elias to have been so adamant on us not going there, it was evident that it wasn’t like other dangerous places that we have gotten ourselves into. “Are you certain you are ready?” Elias asked me as we headed towards the woods. “I am more than ready.” I responded to him, not wanting to sound discouraging. Even if I wanted to sound discouraging, it shouldn’t be from here when he could easily turn back and by then, whatever I do, might not make him change his mind, anymore. We didn’t have to walk too much before we got to the woods, and that only made me feel a little anxious. But then, I had to stop myself from getti

    SCARLET'S POV “I know, and I feel quite bad for going down that lane, but you know we’ve got to do all it takes to ensure Ashley is back to good health. Who knows? She might be able to help us with an information. You know she was captured by Estelle. She must have seen a lot which would be very helpful for us.” “I understand. Just look for better ways to convince him regarding something than hurting yourself. Well, let me leave you to go over to meet him. I’m sure he’s so annoyed with both you, and himself. You’ve got to make him feel he isn’t making the wrong decision.” “Alright! I’m on it.” “He’s in the garden, by the way.” Ralph informed me, and I smiled lightly. “Thanks.” I appreciated him, then I stepped out of the room and walked towards the garden. On getting to the garden, I saw him standing and gazing at the sky with both hands in his pockets. I knew he was going through a lot, and had a lot of responsibilities burdening him.
