Lucian and Arabellaย ย ย Gabrielโs Picnic
Chapter 36Arabella was in the kitchen making tea when the knock came ot her door. She knew it could not be Adora as that one took off early to hike up to the falls and take pictures. She wanted to portray the falls through the day to see the different shadows and lines. Arabella begged off a hike; she just wanted to sit back and enjoy her tea. She was surprised to find Gabriel at her door.He looked at her with a sheepish grin and looked down toward his feet. She looked to where Gabriels eyes strayed and there, at their feet, stood a picnic basket. Arabella looked back up into Gabrielโs eyes. The Godโs help her, she could fall into those beautiful eyes and die happy. Arabella jerked her head to banish her thoughts.She looked at Gabriel and could swear the man was laughing at her. His eyes seemed to twinkle. โAdoraโs not here, Gabriel. She is off hiking somewhere and our mountains donโt really work well with cell phones, so I canโt call her.โ โItโs not Adora I am looking for fair la

Chapter 37Lucian stared at the couple in their cozy little picnic. Anger stirred in his breast when he saw the smirk on Gabriels face. The man looked pretty smug from where Lucian was standing. Arabella looked at Lucian in surprise and a little anger herself.โYou know, Lucian, when someone doesnโt answer a knock at the door that usually means one of two things. One, they are not at home and two, they do not wish to be bothered. Now, which one do you think applies here?โArabellaโs reprimand Lucian who became red in the face until the tip of his ears looked like they could catch fire. He threw her mail down on the table with no regard for the food that sat there. Anger rose but Lucian kept his voice level.โThereโs your mail, Arabella. I suggest you notify the mail office that your address is not at Jackโs home.โ Lucian kept his cool but inside, he was seething. Marcus had not been able to find out anything about this guy, it was as if he was a ghost. It just did not sit well with Luc

Chapter 38โWhat are you doing here, Gabriel? Iโll bet Mother doesnโt know what you are up to. Hades, I donโt know what you are up to but maybe Mother would like to know where you are at.โ Adora was furious and jealous.Her loyaltes were being pulled in different directions. She came here to find out what was so fascinating about Arabella that Mother protected her and now, Gabriel. What to do about Gabriel.โDonโt preach to me, Adora, Iโm sure Mother doesnโt know what you are up to either. By the way, what are you up to?โ Gabriel side stepped Adoraโs questions and threw a few of his own back at her.โYouโve been around her a lot, Adora. Donโt you find her an unusual human?โโWell, yes but โฆ โโNo buts about it.โ Gabriel cut Adora off before she could utter another word. โShe is as different from humans as we are. I donโt know what it is or why she exists quite frankly. Arabella is an anomaly, donโt you see that Adora? Does that not interest you? We, you and I and many others, come to e

Chapter 39It was time to do something drastic. Lucian tried everything he could think of to bring Arabella back to him. He was at his wits end.โI can help you if youโll let me.โ Lucian took his eyes off the dance floor and Arabella. Adora was standing beside him.โWhat are you talking about?โ He was taken slightly by surprise. Then he laughed at himself. There was no way this woman knew what he was thinking.Adora gave him a mocking smile and pointed to herself. โI know what happened to you two and I know what is happening now. I seem to be in the same boat as you. Maybe, Lucian Alexander, we can help each other.โLucian stopped staring at Arabella and turned to face Adora giving her his complete attentionโWhat do you mean by saying we are in the same boat. Iโm not sure I know what you are talking about.โAdora sighed; Lucian was going to be difficult and make her spell it out for him. Fine!! She would do just that.โGabriel is mine.โ Adora was blunt and to the point. โHe has always

Chapter 40Arabella posed in front of the full length mirror admiring her new red dress. She turned to look at her back side. The dress swooped low in the back while the front was mostly lace with an under shift to keep her skin from showing. the material clung to her curves like a second skin. Red stiletto hills complimented the outfit. There was one thing missing to complete the ensemble.Taking the heart necklace from itโs jewelry box, Arabella held it up to her dress. The missing stone was obvious but Arabella wanted to wear it anyway. The complete outfit help draw the eyes away from the empty setting. She made a mental note to get the jewel back from Lucian. One upon a time the necklace symbolized their love; now it was just a beautiful ruby necklace..Arabella checked her makeup in her compact; touched up her lipstick and descended the stairs where Gabriel awaited her. They were going on a real date; something Arabella had not done in years. Dinner and a movie. Arabella smiled a

Chapter 41Arabella placed the red heart necklace around her throat. Gabriel was taking Arabella dining and afterwards they were to hit a club downtown. She smoothed out the hearts as she thought about the missing heart and where it was. She felt a twinge in her own heart as the memories of Lucian came pouring in. Arabella did not try to stop them; it would have been a useless endeavor. She could not believe she had been so young and naive. Well, she wasnโt naive anymore; or young.Finally shaking away the memories, Arabella continued to get ready for her date. For some reason, she was not really looking forward to it. Arabella and Gabriel has been on several dates. He was a wonderful story teller that had Arabella laughing or close to crying. It sounded like Gabriel had been quite the world traveler. So why was he in Boulder? It must be boring after all of the adventures Gabriel pursued.Gabriel sat in Arabellaโs living room having some of the same thoughts as Arabella. She asked him,

Is he in on this too?โArabella didnโt care how unreasonable she sounded; anger was coming off her in waves. She was almost sick from all that Gabriel told her.โI am your friend, really I am.

There was nothing she could say anyway that would make any of this right.โJust โฆ just donโt say anything.โ Arabella ran her hands through hair that was already messy from the same treatment all day. Black, curly locks bounced as Arabella vented her anger. โOf course Lucian would be in on it. After all, it seems to be you three against me. Did you enjoy making a fool of me? Did Lucian and Gabriel? Oh, you are all despicable. Leave, go away and donโt come back. Leave me and mine alone.โAdora and Arabella stood facing off on the veranda outside Arabellaโs cabin.

Chapter 43Her heart was broken once again. โI thought I learned my lesson years ago with what happened with Lucian.โ She thought to herself. โWhat was I thinking? What made me think I could have friends?โ Arabella steadily climbed the mountain, mumbling to herself as she went.Reaching the top, Arabella looked out crossed the world. Itโs beauty could not be denied. The world looked so huge it made her feel insignificant. Anyone looking out tfrom here would feel that same feeling of being so small in a large world.Arabella shook her head to clear it of sad musing. She came here to be alone with the world; trying to make sense of all that happened in her life. For now, she was hungry. Reaching into her back pack, Arabella pulled out a squashed sandwich and crushed potato chips. Taking a warm coke from the net on the outside of her pack, Arabella sat down on the rocky ledge.โThis is the life,โ she whispered, โNo one to bother you or fool you. Yeah, this is the life.โA cool breeze ros

Lucian and Arabellaย ย ย Rising Sun
Chapter 101Arabella never called.Arabella lifted her head to the rising sun. She couldnโt remember how many nights she stayed up with one grieving person or another. At times, she wondered if she even helped these people. The Borders people were using her in may ways. One of them being this, midwife. Until now, she had never delivered before. She lost count of how many she had delivered. They were constantly on the move from one village to another.โYou look like shit, Ari. Go, get some rest, Iโll clean up here.โ Mac had been with Borders for many years and in that time he had been many things. Throwing Ari into it without her realizing the extent of their needs. It didnโt set well with Mac. Arabella was a nice and gentle woman and had a way of putting the patients at ease. Her help was greater than she realized.โItโs okay, Mac. If we both do it we can both get some rest. Donโt think I havenโt noticed you driving yourself half to death.โ Arabella replied. โYou push yourself too har
Lucian and Arabellaย ย ย Alone Again
Chapter 100Arabella sat in front of the cave one last time before she had to leave for the airport. She felt a great sadness when she gazed at the rubble that was once her place of peace. So much over the years was soaked into the rocks and ground. It was a place where she felt close to her mother and father. She felt a touch of loneliness when her thoughts turned toward Lucian. Too much time was lost to them. The years separated them. Adrian separated them. Arabella stood up and started the hike back to the cabin. It was time to leave.Arabella didnโt rush home. Thorn walked with her and she savored his presence. โI donโt know when Iโll be back. Jack promised to take care of the place and check up on you once in a while.โ Thorn cocked his head to the side as he listened to Arabella. He understood more than people knew. He had his own large pack to take care of but that didnโt mean he wouldnโt miss the walks and talking she did with him. Over the years his pack grew to the size it wa
Lucian and Arabellaย ย ย A New World
Chapter 99The sound of the rock slide echoed down the canyon until it lost strength and force. Arabella stood in shock as her beloved cave was no more. In the distance she could hear the forlorn howl of Thorn and his pack. The forest itself became silent as though it were waiting for something more than it had already received, Arabella felt as though the world had stopped.The sound of a living forest returned slowly and Thornโs pack could no longer be heard. Arabella knew it would be a shock to her system but after Ella blocked her abilities before, it showed Arabella that she could handle it. The mental agony could not be avoided but that too would fade as time went on.After the dust settled, Arabella looked around the forest and clearing where the cave once stood. Somehow, it all looked brand new. It was as though she had entered a new world. The shape and color of the leaves and pine needles on the trees took on a whole new meaning to her minds eye. They were sharper and the col

Chapter 97During the wedding set up and the wedding itself, Arabella ran on pure adrenaline. Now that it was finally over, Arabella had nothing else to give. Exhausted, she lay down on one of the benches that lined the pavilion. After much searching, that was where Lucian found her, sound asleep. Gently, Lucian picked up Arabella in his arms to carry her to her room.Arabella stirred slightly but did not awaken as Lucian strode toward the cabin. It felt so good to have her in his arms again, even if it was when she was sleeping. He orginally planned to propose to Arabella that evening, after the wedding. But decided that it was not the right time. This day belonged to Lucas and Lauren alone, Besides, he wanted to make it all special for the woman he loved, for his sweet Bella.Arabella awoke the next morning, still in her wedding outfit and laying on top of her bed with no memory of how she got there. The sun was peeking over the mountain tops as she made her way to the kitchen in se

Chapter 96Life slowly moved forward to normality. Lucian and Arabellaโs relationship was put on hold as they prepared for Lucas and Laurenโs wedding. The young ones decided that they did not want to be married on the Island but at home on the mountain side.The wedding itself would take place on the west lawn that was large enough to hold around a thousand people, various tents full of food and drink.One tent would hold a memory lane of Lucas and Lauren as they grew from toddlers to graduate students. Thorn kept his distance as the wedding plans ramped up.Lucian worked with the wedding planner. They mapped out on paper where everything would be placed on the west lawn. There was more than enough room for them to be extravagant. Lucian mapped where he wanted the pavilion for dancing to stand. It backed up to the rose garden near the north side. The smell of the blooms would help create the romantic atmosphere he was aiming for. Lucian wanted to plan it beautifully for it would be the

Chapter 95Mother, Fate and Karma were Ellaโs judge and jury. She stood before them in silver chains, insolent, uncaring. Ella lifted her head in arrogance as Mother read out her crimes. The top crime being her kidnapping of a human. One of the biggest no noโs were harming a human in any way to which Ella qualified for by her actions. Arabella stood to one side of the Dias; she was to give evidence against Ella.Arabella was uncomfortable to be in the presence of three such powerful women. She shuffled her feet so much she caught a warning look from Karma. Arabella stood stock still so as to not bring more attention on herself.The proceeding was similar as on earth except Ella was not allowed to defend herself. All of her misdeeds were playing out o the walls surrounding the proceedings. Ella was not the least bit repentant. She did not believe Mother would actually send her to be absorbed. It just was not done anymore. With that thought in mind, a small smile played out on her lips.

Chapter 94Lucian walked back to the veranda to be close to Arabella while she slept. He was not surprised to find Thorn asleep on the porch beside the lounger where Arabella lay. Smiling to himself, Lucian sat down to wait on Arabella.Arabellaโs sleep was long and uneventful. Echaustion keep the nightmares away. Slowly, Arabella started to wake up. She groaned a little at the pain from sleeping in one position for a long period of time. Arabella found herself alone on the veranda and started to panic. Just as she was ready to lose it, Lucian walked onto the veranda with hot coffee and finger sandwiches.โAh, finally, you are awake?โ Lucian said with a smile in his voice. โI was hoping you would soon. You must be starving by now.โ Lucian set the tray with the coffee and food on the small table in front of Arabella.โLucian, youโre here,โ Arabella breathed whispered before she could stop herself. โWhere is Selene?

Running to the mouth of the cave, Ella stopped short. Outdide stood Michael, his sword of rightness was drawn. Ellaโs shoulders slumped in defeat.โHow did you find her?โ Ella was curious as to why her spell didnโt work.โSilly woman,โ replied Selene, โYou forgot one important element.โElla was getting impatient and almost stomped her foot in anger. โNo need to draw this out Selene.โโPlease Ella,โ Selene smiled, โLet me finish. You forgot she was half human. That rather voided your magic. Why did you do this, Ella? What did Arabella ever do to you?โโDo to me? You want to know what she ever did to me? She exists, Selene. Do you understand that? She exists. I have spent my life having Arabella shoved down my throat. So much so that I never felt good enough for you.
