Calliope

"Oberon please," my mother begged as she collected herself and haphazardly stood, slumped against me for support, "she knows nothing of that world he does not want her she will be of no use to him". She looks at me with pity and regret.

"AND WHOS FAULT IS THAT?!" He screams as he comes barreling towards us leaning down causing his figure to look bigger somehow not that my mother and I are particularly small people, but he was at least 6 inches taller. His face turning a color I can only describe as that of a corpse, an almost bluish grey color and his eyes looked black like a shark. The motion and sudden change startling me and causing me to gasp. The reaction caused the man I now knew as Oberon to scoff and slowly he stood up straight to wipe at his clothes like he has grown bored of us. "She comes with us, as is our right to collect her, and whatever becomes of her know that it is your doing, this could have been easier, you could have prepared her Clara." He turned, motioning to the men standing on either side of the truck to open the door to the metal box. "Cali my dear, I am afraid this part of the trip will be unpleasant, for your safety as well as ours, but know it is only until we are sure you can control yourself". Men again grabbed each of my arms causing my mother to stagger forward from the sudden loss of balance. Urging me forward I began to scream and try to wriggle free of their hold.

"Mom what is happening?! Let go of me asshole! Mom!?" I screamed begging for her help as they dragged me closer to the truck. As I craned my neck to look at my mother she had her head down and she was hugging herself with what looked like defeat.

"Oberon wait", my mother called after us. "Please at least let me say goodbye". Confusion swept over my face, was she really letting these strange men take me? What was going on right now? Where was I going that she was saying goodbye like she would never seen me again?

"Very well, make it quick we have wasted enough time already" he waved his hand to the men to release me. My mom hobbled over to where I was and wrapped her arms around me. She was hugging me so tight, my lungs screaming at me, but I didn't care. Tears stinging my eyes threatening to fall, but I refused to let these monsters see me cry anymore.

"Mom please dont do this, why is this–" she placed her hand over my mouth.

"Calliope listen to me, I love you. I am so sorry, I thought I could protect you, but I was wrong. This world is not what you think, there is no time to explain, just know what I did I did to keep you safe." Her words came out rushed and garbled as she tried to talk with a busted lip. She grabbed me into a tight again and before I was able to wrap my arms around her she was yanked away.

  • I was Promised to a Warlock   Chapter 41

    Calliope The steady pulsing throb of every vein in my body accompanied by an instant ache woke me from what felt like a deep sleep. The muffled sounds of people talking slowly reminded me of my surroundings. What happened? And why don't my eyes want to open? I urged my body to move, but it refused. I felt the sensation of a warm pulse against my neck, the musky smell of smoke mixed with a sweet vanilla put me at ease. I felt my heart start to slow, my panic subsiding, I tried to snuggle in closer into Alexander's big sturdy arms. I felt him shift beneath me as the voices grew louder. I tried to focus on the words, but it felt like my ears were filled with cotton. At last the sounds began to come into focus, one voice rang out above all the others. I must still be dreaming because that sounds like... "No one is doing anything until I have my daughter back." "She doesn't belong to you anymore Clara you made a deal- "That deal means nothing now Elirond! And she was never

    Alexander "Ahem, if I may interrupt your majesty. It is a pleasure to meet you, but I find myself curious as to what has prompted this unscheduled visit." I say cautiously. She whipped her head in my direction, the look of disgust quickly flashing across her face before melting into a plastered smile. "As I said before, I am here to celebrate my daughter's wedding day. Now is that such a crime?" She said clutching her imaginary pearls. The sarcasm dripping heavily from her words. "I think the boy is questioning your choice of plus ones that have accompanied you my dear wife," Elirond spat back at her. "Ah yes. Well you see because of the thoughtful little parting gift that you left me with when I was banished from my home I had to come up with some other way to return. Without killing us both of course. And I knew that after my little reunion with Oberon I realized that my own kind would likely offer no assistance. You made sure of that. So, I used what little magic I had left

    Alexander "Kael," I scowled. The sound of chaos in the pews behind me was barely heard amidst the blood rushing to my ears. "Oh don’t look so sour Alex, it's nothing personal. Besides I was invited," the smug look on his face and his use of my name so flippantly enraging me further. A sudden gust of wind bellowed beside me making me clutch onto Calliope harder, her figure still limp in my arms. I see a green cloak waft in front of us quickly before I hear a voice chime in. "You are not welcome here and you were most certainly not invited. Now leave while you are still able to do so Kael," Elirond's voice boomed so loud I felt the floor shake beneath me. Magic had definitely been awoken, whether that was a good or bad thing had yet to be seen. I glanced down at Calliope’s unconscious face. Her soft features had contorted into a look of pain. I carefully wiped away the blood trail slowly dripping from her eye like a tear. I half expected the blood itself to be gold, but I gue

    Alexander The melodic sound of the choir starting up lets me know that it is time. I face the door and see it swing inwards. When my eyes land on Calliope my mouth goes dry, i’m frozen, unable to move or even blink. She is always beautiful, but the way she is walking towards me with the hint of a smile makes my heart stop and by the looks of the people in the pews I am not the only one. It feels like forever before she finally reaches me, Elirond releases her hand into mine and with a piercing look pats me hard on the shoulder in a motion of approval. I slowly walk us back toward the officiant, taking my time, basking in this moment with her. The way her small hand fits in mine feels like home. I don’t understand my feelings towards her, but I know that I am willing to die to protect what is mine and whether she feels it or not she is exactly that. Mine. The sound of the robbed man speaking in front of us is drowned out by the loud voice in my head going over my plans one mo

    Calliope When I finally felt ready Adylin called for Mae to accompany me to the ceremony as she went ahead to prepare the guests. The hallways were silent with anticipation, the only sound was the quiet rustling of my dress dragging behind me. I turned a corner to see Elirond standing tall dressed in what I assumed to be formal wear for the Fae, a long emerald green cloak overtop of a golden metal plates over his chest that looked similar to armor. His long hair was tucked behind his ears putting them on full display. Their points so pronounced they looked almost sharp. Reflexively I reached to touch my own and was surprised to find that they had changed. Which should have been no surprise. So much about me had changed in the last few days I hardly recognized myself at all. It made this whole thing alot easier. It felt more like I was an outsider watching my life through someone elses eyes. Just a few days ago I was a college student itching to get away and now I would do any

    Calliope Mae and Adylin were flitting around the room doing last minute touches on my hair. The golden metal charms that are scattered in a random pattern hung in it makes it feel heavy and jingle when I move. The white laced gloves I have on feel foreign, but not uncomfortable. Elirond explained that it was traditional for the bride to wear them in Alexander’s culture so I obliged hoping he would notice and appreciate the gesture. The rest of my ensemble was indicative of Fae culture so it really didn’t matter what I wore, none of it was familiar to me anyways. Instead of a white dress I wore the house colors of the Silverthornes which was green and gold. My dress was more like a gown, long and flowing with a tight gold metal corset over the top of my dress with little to no give that made it difficult to move or breathe for that matter. The fabric was like nothing I had ever felt before, soft like silk with more layers than I could count, but weightless a

    Alexander I catch my reflection in the intricate floor length mirror and it gives me pause, as I do up my cuff links. The long, black suit coat with dark gold lace carefully woven in a dizzying pattern was tailored to me like a second skin. My black dress pants and shirt escentuatin

    Calliope The sweet smell of coffee wakes me from a deep sleep, and a familiar hum makes its way to me. My eyes shoot open at the realization, I quickly sit up and jump out of bed. I run to my door and rip it open, my socks on the wood floor make my exit less than graceful. As I p

    Calliope His arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me into his lap. With either leg straddling him I could feel his hardness against my core. We sat there for a minute, staring into eachother’s eyes. My need growing, could feel the heat from my center radiating. The anticipation bec

    Calliope Calliope The soft grass felt heavenly, like a soft blanket laid out across the ground. The whistling of the wind was so loud I didn’t notice that someone had interrupted my peaced with their presence. “Please for the love of God just leave me alone for two minutes is that too mu
