Those were the girl's final words.
She was bleeding and crying in pain as she laid on the rough ground.
An hour back. *
My name is Sarah James (an average college student). The way I'm looking at it right now, my life was hell. I wasn't really the best nor was I the worst. I was just an average student. But, thinking back I suppose that my death was the shittiest part of my life.
I remember being run down by a car that was driven by some loud couple, when I was on my way to look for a job. I can't say if it was the couple's fault for hitting me with their car or my fault for reading a novel on my phone without paying attention to my surroundings... Though, I guess the fault lies on both sides…
I turned to my side and found the couple who were in a panic. I wanted to tell them “I am fine.” But the words couldn’t come out of my mouth. I saw blood everywhere around me. I was in a panic. I didn’t want to die.
I had been wanting to live an independent life ever since I was a child. Why must I die right now...?
When the accident happened, I felt like my whole life had been flashed before me. I was a child who had no father.
My mother who was a workaholic, had no time to look after me. Now that I think about it, I spent more time with my nanny than with my mother. I was treated like air in school. I had no friends. I never even fell in love.
I wish I could have made friends even if it was just one person. I wanted to have someone who could understand me. The true me.
I wanted to fall in love as well... How stupid. Why am I having these thoughts right now...?
When I opened my eyes, I had realized that that I didn't die.
"A relief, I guess."
Wait a minute that wasn't my voice was it.? And where am I...?
This luxurious setting definitely isn't my room.
"Rubia! Thank heavens you’re all right " Said a handsome man whom I guess was in his late 30's.
"Dear, you have finally woken up." Said a woman who was on the verge of tears.
"Rubia…?"
My name was Sarah, wasn't it??
"Is something the Matter dear? You have been acting strangely." asked the Woman
"Mirror."
"Mirror?" asked the man
"May I have a mirror please."
"All right dear... Gerome." said the man to another man standing by me
"Yes, your grace."
Woah, there's even a guy cosplaying as a butler...!
When I looked into the mirror, I had realized the situation I was in. This was the biggest joke that life had ever played on me.
I remember having short yet curly black hair with black eyes like every other person in Asia but... The shiny yet straight silver hair that almost reached my waist along with the eyes that almost looked like emerald …?
It wasn't my body...?!
"My name? What is my name?" asked the girl as she placed her hands on her cheeks
" 'Rubia Mary Albert Charleston' that is your name dear is everything all right? " Answered the woman
Sarah's Pov -
I was not surprised anymore since now I knew... I'm the villainess of one of the novels written by one of my most favourite authors the novels name was ' True Love '.
It was one of the novels that didn't click with me because I felt bad for the villainess but... Hey, why the hell am I the villainess...? But, before that the most important thing is...
“Then, I suppose you are my parents?” asked Sarah
“That is right, dear.” Said the Duchess
Sarah's Pov -
And now I have understood that the man is actually Rubia's father in the novel and the woman is Rubia's mother, along with the butler Gerome who took care of Rubia when she was young... This place is the Charleston Dukedom.
"So, you are the Duke of Charleston...?" asked Sarah
"Yes, and this is my wife, your mother the Duchess of Charleston Dear." Answered the Duke
Sarah's Pov -
The man seemed to have silver hair and blue eyes and the woman had pink hair and green eyes. Honestly, they were down to earth beautiful! But, right now… All I want to do is sleep. I will leave the thinking for after I wake up. If I do.
TO BE CONTINUED...
Two months later“Hurry up! We are going to be late!” Claire screamed from down the hall.“How did she get to dress up so fast?” Ariana asked. Lola opened the door from outside. “Hey you guys, I think we should hasten things up, or else we would miss the speech.”We hurried along with her, excitement surging through our bodies. It was the graduation ceremony. Nico was graduating! I was super excited about it because he had several fallbacks in school that made him re-take a lot of classes, extending his year of graduation.“What took you guys so long?” Claire examined us.“Sorry Claire, we were just trying to get prepared for the ceremony,” Ariana smiled.“Are we done with the chit-chats?” Lola was getting impatient. “Alrighty then, let's go!”“I thought you said we were going to miss the speech... the ceremony hasn’t even properly begun,” Ariana frowned when we got to the ceremony ground.“Well... better late than never,” Lola shrugged.“I don’t think that’s the best way to use tha
“Would you stop pacing around and glancing at your watch nonstop?” Lola said. “You are making me lose my cool you know.”“Yeah... you are keeping us on our toes here,” Claire agreed.I had finally told them everything that happened during our visit to see the witch. They were most excited about the demise of Elena. Telling the pack on the other hand was a hard choice to make, but we had to make it. Nico called for a meeting and the pack was informed about the progress and conditions involved.“As the leader of this pack, it's my rightful duty to choose what’s best for us. But I also must lead you without spite and a regretful heart. The condition brought to us by the witch is not one that we can control. And it would be selfish of me to do this without telling my pack about it. That’s why I have called this meeting, to hear from you brothers... and sisters,” Nico’s voice thundered with authority. “What your take is on this... and whatever we decide as a clan shall stand... no matter w
It was shiny like they had been soaked into a bowl full of glitter. I looked at the tiny bottles as we drove back home. The cure.It was finally in our hands, but somehow I couldn’t help but wonder if we made the right choice. Was the cure going to cause a feud between brothers and friends just like Agnes said? Was it going to bring death? Was it going to get to its final stage of completion? “If after forty-eight hours the blood of a willing hunter is not mixed in the potion, the potion ceases to be active. And don’t bother about coming back here to look for me... because you won’t find me.” She vanishes into thin air after laying the potion on my arm.I looked at the potion again. It had already been mixed with my blood and that of Nico’s. Now it was up to my Dad. Forty-eight hours.#I held on to it tight, like my next wake depended on it.****“Are you sure about this ?” Nico looked at me with concern.I nodded. “It’s now or never Nico.”“You know the last time all three of us we
Nico drove at a speed that made my inside turn. We informed the pack of our search and they offered to tag along, but we told them it was something we had to do by ourselves.“Remember, when it looks like danger is lurking, howla at us,” Lola made a wolf joke.Ariana and Claire were also aware of our trip and they offered support in the only way they knew how to. “If anything goes wrong, just call us and we will dial 911 straight up!” Ariana said.“You can’t bring the police to a werewolf and witch fight,” I reminded them smiling.“Oh... that’s right,” she gave a cringed look. “But still,” her eyes spewed concern. “Be careful.”“Promise to come back to us,” Claire said.“I promise.” I hugged them. After a few hours on the road, Nico, like he was reading my mind, chuckled. “What funny,” I asked him.“Nothing. I was just wondering why they all made it look like we were not coming back.”I laughed. They did make it look like that. Everyone reacted in a way of love that was easy for them
The following week had the students of Tulane University all high-spirited and eager, eager to hop into the new curriculum as resumption schedules kicked off.“You would tell me if something is wrong right Nico?” Ariana'svoice sounded worried from over the phone.She had been trying to reach me but I
I drifted in and out of fevered dreams, my body racked with chills despite the dampening touch of the cold towel on my forehead. Each shuddering breath reminded me of the gnawing truth; maybe I was turning. Elena's cryptic prophecy scoffed at for years, was about to bloom in the starkest hues of moo
The rhythmic clatter of the train tracks provided a backdrop to my racing thoughts. There was a special solace I found in the gentle rocking motion of the train, the passing scenery was a blur outside the window. The dim interior created an intimate atmosphere, allowing my mind to wander freely.As t
A few hours ago“We need to talk Ella,” Nico repeated.“We would give you guys some privacy,” Claire and Ariana left the house, leaving an awkward silence hanging in the air.“So...” “I am sorry,” Nico hurriedly cut in. “I wanted to apologise for the other night at the club. I am sorry about how I soun
