Skhemarriah!...
The whisper came again, low and menacing. A slow threat over the princess's life for the fifth time since she visited the blood hearth. If she knew about it's curse she would have never entertained the thought of having it's power. The memory of the trip to the hearth made bowel raise up her throat. The nauseous feeling followed her into her en-suite bathroom causing her to barely make it to the toilet. Her sickness had alarmed the entire kingdom because her kind rarely got ill and according to the doctors her condition was incurable.The very smell that exalted from her vomit was enough to inform you of how quickly she was dying; and she was indeed close to death. Her hand maids were at her sides immediately helping her back to her bed and laying her down softly. The princess had not even a bit to eat since she returned and those around her could see how fast her life was running out. Their pitying eyes disgusted her so much that even without strength to speak she found a way to inform them of how displeasing their stars where.She glared at them long enough for them to feel her displeasure and they relented and left her alone. As they did her dear brother entered her chambers looking every bit like his arrogant self."Oh looks like my dear sisters attitude hasn't dissipated at all? Or maybe it's the stench of death that has driven your hand maids away from you?" He chuckled, the sound of his voice mad her insides boil them more. He'd always loved shoving his great achievements in her face and now his shoving his health in her face too. If only she knew it would eventually come down to this she wouldn't have gotten herself involved in the dangerous game of power. She fell for it again and this time it's claiming her life.She shut her eyes not willing to look at him. His bare presence enraged her. He was not her much and it was time that she realized that his always going to be on top. Who was she kidding? She's female and females can't be heroes in their cursed land."What do you want?" Skhemarriah asked, forcing her voice out and ignoring the pain." Oh would you look at that, she speaks", he cackled. "Well I just wanted to see how losing looks like and tell you what I really wanted to do"."You see you were always so stupid and I knew it would be easy to full you into entering that cursed house and touch that hearth. All I really wanted was the power you would bring to me after but that didn't go well now did it.Soooo, I'm going to use you to my advantage and move forward with my plan". Skhemarriah's eyes narrowed as she tried to understand what he meant by taking advantage of her in her state. Was he going to finish her off by eating her heart? Or worse feed her to the kingdom? Everything she thought of didn't make any sense until he cleared up everything in just one simple sentence."I'll will save your life but you have to take the blame of what I'm about to do". He took out syringe from one of his coat hidden pockets and a twenty-one gauge injection. The liquid in the syringe was clear and it shimmered when light hit it at a clear angle. She wasn't given anymore time to process her brothers intentions when he stabbed her neck with the needle and pressed the liquid into her system. She let out a scream which was more of a gargle than anything else, just like he anticipated she would. Blood trickled out of her neck slowly, coating her white linen in crimson. Her air supply was cut off and she passed out.~When she awoke she was surrounded by darkness and the pungent smell of blood. Checking herself for any injuries she found non but that didn't explain the smell of death that surrounded her. Though on the plus side she felt stronger than she had in the past two weeks. Pulling herself up she noticed that she was on the floor instead of her bed. She shrugged of the suspicion and walked towards her bedside to turn the lights on. Her body felt oddly bigger than before and her footsteps were louder than usual, the sense of wrongness only grow at the realization but she wasn't up to thinking about it at that moment. She had to get cleaned up and go thank her brother for saving her life,even if that was an admission to defeat she wasn't going to stoop to his level again.When she finally found the lamp she wonder why it was in a different position than before and soon her questions were answered. Well the thing about light is that it makes everything the darkness made invisible, visible and it cleared all manner of confusion. Though this confusion was something skhemarriah would have liked to keep because it's clarification brought about a sense of horrifying tragedy.For not only was she not in her room, no. She was standing in a pool of blood and there on the bed where the mutilated bodies of an old couple, not just any old couple. But they were the bodies of her beloved parents.Now she understood exactly what her brother meant. Oh how very evil of him indeed.Beware.... Beware of the falsifer that will lower you into submission. He comes riding his steed in glory and power but his heart is that of darkness.Beware of the monster that has the heart of gold. For it seeks only justice for the wrongs that had before it. Choose the right mate, because his taken doesn't mean his not yours to keep............Tiana woke from her slumber gasping for breath. The old lady in her dream was so terrifying like the warnings she gave. Tiana quickly grabbed her note book and jolted down the warnings. Since Christoph disappeared she learnt to take her dreams seriously and for the past week they have been more crazier than the rest. She read the warning over and over again, or maybe what she thought was the warning. The dream wasn't clear like the rest of them were, she got the voice she saw the old lady but the scenery was so confusing. One thing stuck out though. It was the monster that half resembled a woman and a beast. If it wasn't for the old ladies
Troy got up early as usual for his morning run before his morning class. Which so happened to be his favorite so far since the party. He didn't understand his sudden attraction to the curly haired beauty to whose name he had no idea of. It was funny but true. Though he was certain it started with a letter t but whatever came after was a blur to him.He was deep in thought as he ran past the KKDB house where his chosen mate resided. Britney Evenwulf or now know as Mrs Acwulf thanks to their forced mating. If only he had known who she really was he wouldn't have wasted time with her later on marking her. It was too late now since they are a few months away from becoming the parks Alpha and Luna and knowing that chilled him to the bone. He was halfway to his place when he caught a wift of a vanilla scented perfume with a hint of roses. His wolf suddenly sprung up, howling in his mind in victory. "Wonder what's all that about? Cut it out before you affect me with your stupidity", Troy sc
" Shit, shit shit!" Troy exclaimed while running towards his place with in human speed. What was he about to do? Mark her when his barely gotten to know her and his already planning her funeral? The thing is he would if he could but he knew the mating bond he has with Britney would kill her in an instant. Maybe he can mark her wolf? Wait is she even a wolf? Disappointment swelled in his chest at the thought that Tiana might not be a werewolf like him. Then she might be human and that meant he had to let her go. The painful thought tore through his chest making his heart bleed. If only he had waited he would have had her. Though if only means a missed opportunity so there's no point in wishing. It's best he leaves her like that, it would be selfish of him to claim her for himself when he has another mate. Now his question remained. Why had he never noticed her before?At the same time Troy was going through the motion of his heart break, Tiana was met with an even more embarrassing s
"you?" " Hi", Eros said breathlessly, grinning brightly at Tiana. She was taken aback by the situation that her brain shut down for a minute. He was the man that saved her the other day and now he just broke her fall. She slowly returned his smile feeling quite greatful that fate had once again made them run into each other. After a brief second Eros spoke."As much as I'm enjoying this exchange I think it will be more pleasant if we were standing up. Don't you think?" He omitted the part where he didn't want her to move her body at all. For the feeling of her on top of him was so intoxicatingly beautiful that he could get an orgasm right there and then. Though that wouldn't have been a great sight out in the open so he opted against it." Yes ...ah sorry", Tiana giggled as she pushed herself off of him. She gave him a hand and soon enough they were both standing at their full height. He was taller than she is, but not an exaggerated type of height like a basketball player. She esti
Make up wasn't something Tiana adorned mostly but for some odd reason she wore it for their dinner tonight. She wanted to look attractive, eye catching, she wanted him to actually like her. Or maybe she just wanted to get on his good side so that he wouldn't expel her from his school for something so stupid. Anyway the fact is she wore makeup and got dressed up in a sexy lace black dress that hugged her curves and ended just above the knees. Truth is she achieved her goals.The thought of actually having Eros attracted to her didn't disgust her at all. In fact it thrilled her to the core. Dirty dirty girl. A small part of her though wished her friends were here but a huge part of her was actually happy that it was only going to be the two of them. The door bell rang just then cutting of her thoughts. He was a little late but she wasn't mad at him for that because it gave her a little more time to prepare. She walked down the stairs with grace and poise, past the kitchen and dining to
It was a good thing that the party was held near a lake, otherwise with the heat of the fire and the mess of bodies Tiana was sure to pass out. When they arrived only the cars parked at the entrance of the farm was the only indication that there was a party being held there. That and the freshmen's who weren't so lucky in getting an invite to the VIP. Which by the way was far worse than being stuck with the freshmen up front. Tiana didn't really understand the difference because there wasn't any demarcation between the two groups except for a small stand in between the two where a man in a lather jacket and dark sunglasses stood collecting tickets. If it up to her she would have snuck in somehow without him noticing.There was barely anywhere to seat so she just stood awkwardly next to Eros who was taking in the crowd. She had told them about her friends who were already at the party and Eros offered to look for them. It was kind of weird for him to be at this kinda of party though bu
Truth. Truth is like a weapon for the darkness for it brings out light and reveals everything the darkness had hidden away. As it was then so it will be.Christopher was ecstatic as he made his way down the paved pathway between the flowers. He'd never in his life kiss someone as breathtaking as Tiana and man was he going to brag about it. She really likes him? Wait he didn't know for sure now because he never said it first to get her response.Argh, why are girls so hard? Does it always have to be the man that makes the first move? He whined inwardly to himself as his wolf was fast asleep in his mind. He didn't want to disturb him after he had a long restless night yesterday. Sighing he tagged at his bagpack.The atmosphere then suddenly shifted and his efforts of keeping quiet for his wolf all went to waste as his wolf surfaced; turning the colour of his eyes from a dull brown to a shining amber."Something is wrong", his wolf said," turn around and head back ho
"How dare he say that?! Does he know how much I regretted saying no to him six months ago and that's how long I was guilty!" Tiana exclaimed while pacing back and forth Infront of Jess who was currently sitting at the edge of her bed. Jess got up from her position and approached Tiana, placing her hands on her shoulders. Stopping Tiana's movements momentarily."Hey..... Calm down. I'm sure his just hurting that's why he said all that. When he calms down, he'll certainly apologize ", Jess assured her.Tiana shook her head in agreement. "I think you're right. Though, do you think I'm a bad person?" "Where's this coming from?" Jessica questioned."Well...........", Tiana drew out a breath. Leading Jess to sit besides her on her bed. Letting out another sigh."What is it?" Jess asked dryly."Well...I kinda hoped that Christopher was found dead-for a good cause ", Tiana said adding the last point drastically."What?!" Jess exclaimed. Throwing her hands up and getting up from her position
