He looked at her and smiled“So much hate in your eyes, young child. Have we met before?” He asked“That doesn’t matter. I’m done letting you hurt people!” She said to himHe stepped back and she bent down to remove the dagger from his chest. He gasped back to reality. He looked up at her, trying to clear his vision. Why was she here? He had told her to stay in his room till he told her to come back out. She had disobeyed him without thinking. “Who are you?” He asked her“It doesn’t matter but I would be here for a while and while I an here, you either behave yourself or Damian isn’t the only person you would be scared off” she said to himHer brother came downstairs“Anna, are you okay?”“That voice is one I would never forget!” Phil said as he looked at Alex. “Oh my, how little Alex has grown” he said“Phil, surprised to see that I’m not dead yet?”“Dead? Why would I want you dead?”“I have no idea”“If you are Alex, then this must be your sister. No wonder, she has the spee
“I am sorry I yelled at you for coming to my rescue”“And….” She said again “And what?” he asked, not willing to say another sorry to her“And …..” she said“And I’m sorry for trying to kick Sally out of the house. It wasn’t a gentlemanly. I would try to make it all up as soon as I can. Now can you get in the tub and get ready?” “Yes, I can” she said as she stood up from his bed.She was about to walk out when he grabbed her by the waist and kissed her. He stopped to look at her. He could tell that she wanted more than that. Was she leading him on so she could stop him later on? He slipped his hands under her dress and touched her bare skin. She let out a little moan and she leaned into him“Don’t be nasty, princess” he said and he let her goHe turned away and heard her hiss before walking into the bathroom. She laid there for about an hour before coming back out. When she was out, she saw a dress on the bed. He had probably dropped it there and left the room. She touched the
“I didn’t know that she was going to get affected, I swear!” Alex said, with tears rolling down his face“Alex, what exactly did you do?” Arielle asked“I am trying to bring my mother back. Elma asked me if it was what I truly wanted and I said yes. She said a price had to be paid and I said I was ready to pay it in full. I had no idea that Anna was the price!”“You traded your sister’s life for your mom’s? Cam you even hear yourself?” Damian said, grabbing him by the collar“Let him go!” His Mom ordered and he obeyed at once. “He had no idea that his sister was the price that was going to be paid”“It is a life for a life. Her life is being taken and given to your mom. She is fighting it but she is getting weak. Once she gives up, her life would be snuffed out of her body, completely” Sally said“Now is the time to choose. Who would you rather have with you? Your mom or your sister?” Damian asked“I have to go!” Alex said“Go where? Your sister is dying because of you and you
He let go of Arielle and walked up to his sister. She was warmer now“She is going to be okay but she needs rest. She should be awake tomorrow morning but she will be extremely weak” Sally said“How do you know so much about these things?” Damian asked her“Because I tried to bring back someone I lost. I had an elder sister and I almost got my mom killed trying to bring her back. Starting to think I made a mistake” she said“Why?” Arielle asked “Why I feel it was a mistake? Well, I chose my Mom over my elder sister and now my mom is dead. Either ways, my mom was supposed to die. Maybe if I had chosen my elder sister, I wouldn’t be alone” she said“You are not alone. You’ve got dad and Mom. Mist importantly, you’ve got me. You have a whole new family and family stick together” Damian said as he held her shoulderShe looked at him and smiled. She was glad that he was warming up to her. Alex kissed his sister’s forehead“I am so sorry. I don’t know if I can ever make it up to you”
“I think we are getting ahead of ourselves here. Odette has a boyfriend and she does love him. They have been together way before I left Cordina and decided to school in the central”“Maybe she does have a boyfriend but does she love him though? I doubt that. She is obviously interested in you and I think you know this too”“Maybe” He admitted. “We did have something before and I slept with her but that was where it ended. After that, we decided to keep things on the friendship level. We tried to but then it didn’t work. One night, she came over and we had sex again. The next morning, she cane with the news of she had found love” Damian said “And when you were sleeping with her, did you feel anything for her?” Anna asked“I don’t understand. Feel anything?”“Were you in love with her when you were sleeping with her?”“Love is a strong word. I wasn’t in love with her. I did want her though. You could say I lusted after her but love? I was never in love with Odette”“That is pro
He held her hand all through the walk. They walked down the streets and everywhere until they found an ice cream spot. They sat down, still talking. He ordered a cone for her and went for a smoothie. When they were done, they walked to the park, sat there and talked. It was almost seven when her phone rang. She looked at it. It was Damian. He was probably back and he was looking for her. She pressed the power button and tossed the phone back into her jacket. Her brother looked at her“I thought you said you and Damian were cool!” he said“And we are” she said“So why are you ignoring his calls then?” Alex asked get back“It’s nothing to worry about. He is probably worried about me. That’s why he is calling”“That is why you should pick up the phone and let him know that you’re okay instead of ignoring his calls and making him worry” Alex said “I will see him when we get back home. If I tell him I’m out, he’ll just come looking for me and I honestly don’t want that” she said“Al
“And then what? You seem to have thought it through and made up your mind, so tell me. What happens after you leave? You leave her with a lot of questions. You leave her wondering if she was the one that wronged you. You just don’t disappear on people Damian. It doesn’t work that way. The problem you’re running from is always going to be there except you solve it. Life will not solve your problems for you. It never will. You have to sit up and solve it yourself. Disappearing on Anna will only make it worse and one day, you will come back and I don’t care if you’re mated to her or if you’re destined to be together, she will move on from you and the bitch if us know that you can’t handle that” Alex said“Then what am I supposed to do?” Damian asked“Talk to her about it”“Talk? I almost killed her. If she was human, she would be dead by now. What else is there to talk about?”“I almost killed her too and she literally acted like it didn’t happen. I was going to give her life away fo
Damian took her hand and led her back to the room. He closed the door and she walked in and got on the bed. He tucked her in and kissed her forehead, turning off the lights “Are you leaving?” She asked“Yeah I am”“Why?” She asked again“I don’t want to hurt you again” he said truthfully“Alex told me what happened. That wasn’t you. You would never hurt me and I know this. I don’t want you to leave me all by myself” she said“What? Now you’re scared of the dark?” He teased“Maybe, what if I am? She said“I would really love to stay with you and be with you but right now, I don’t trust myself. Something took over my body and all it wanted to do was kill you. I swore to protect you from everything and I couldn’t protect you from myself. It kills me to know that you died because of me”“I died temporarily. You’re nit getting the point. I can’t die and maybe that’s a good thing”“No babe, you can die! With the right tools, everybody can die and I was going to kill you earlier on
