It was quite blurry, but the clanging noises of the door opening made her know that someone was coming in. Then she heard footsteps approaching. "Hey." She felt a cold hand touch her bare shoulders, followed by the scent of food. Then her stomach growled, reminding her of how badly hungry she was. "Food?" She muttered, slowly sitting up. She cringed as her own skin irritated her. She has not had her bath since the incident yesterday and she could tell, it was almost getting to evening. "Yes," Rieka sat beside her, crossing her legs. She felt pity for the human, but she doesn't know what to think or do. She knew Amelia didn't poison the drink but what can she do? Talk to Alpha king? No, not yet. He might just get angry and murder her. He has been in his room since the incident yesterday and she's sure he's in a very bad mood now. She uncovered the plate of mashed potatoes, pushing it to her. "I don't have to ask, you must be very hungry." Amelia groaned, leaning against the wall, h
She stirred around the bed as bright light from the room shone directly on her face. She grabbed the sheets between her fingers, moaning softly as she tried to get back to sleep. "You're not gonna sleep the whole day, are you?" She buried her face into the bed, groaning quietly. Why can't they just let her- Her eyes snapped open almost immediately when she realised that was an unfamiliar voice. She was sure she's never heard that voice before. And the sheets! They were definitely not the color of hers. It was like ice blue and was quite softer and more comfortable than hers. She sat up from the bed slowly as she felt slight pains around her body. She let out a small gasp as she sighted the phoenix king sitting at the foot of the bed, staring at her. Then she took her eyes around the unfamiliar bright room, squinting her eyes as she staring around. The room was a really bright one, everything was real white. It was like the door and ceiling was built with ice, she couldn't under
"You're never gonna find her." The trio turned around when they heard her voice. She repeated, smearing her lips as she walked closer to them. "What do you mean?" Sebastian asked in a deep tone, staring suspiciously at her. She raised her hands in the air, chuckling lightly. "Whoa whoa! Don't look at me that way. I don't know anything." She folded her arms under her breasts and stared at him with a serious look before adding. "You're never going to find her." "Rieka." Sebastian called, raising his brows at her. "What do you know?" "Well, I know previously, I said I don't know anything but.... Let's just say, I know little. Just very little." Her lips formed into a lopsided grin as she wiggled her brows before adding. "Well I'm not gonna tell you." "Rieka." Sebastian called warningly. "Nope." She declined plainly, shaking her head negatively. "To my chambers." He ordered, glaring hard at her. "And what's gonna happen in your chambers." She asked d
"And who's that?" Finally, she's telling him. "He's an old friend I met the last time I went to the human world." Rieka replied. "He was born to a Nymph father and witch mother. Very weird combination." She tsked, playing with her fingers."I remember he knew little magic." "Where can we find him?" "That'll be a problem. I can't remember where he said he lived." She took her hands to her jaw, tapping her fingers against it lightly. "No clue?" Sebastian felt a little disappointment run through him. "Sadly.. no." She heaved out a heavy sign, resting into the chair. She raised her legs in the air about dropping it on the table but paused when she recalled something. "Yeah, yeah! Oklahoma. Yes." "Oklahoma?" Sebastian brows rose in surprise. "Yeah, yeah. He told me he lives in Oklahoma, and only came to Alaska for a vacation." She breathed out a sigh of relief, rolling her hands into a tight fist. "Great, we have to find him quick. Go prepare, we'd be leaving to the human world tom
"I'm not interested in helping you. That's the door over there. Leave." Rieka jaws dropped at his refusal. She blinked her eyes repeatedly on shock. "Miguel," "Leave." He scrunched his nose at themand raised the drink in his hands to his mouth, taking a large gulp. "Miguel, you don't know how important this is. Please!" Rieka pleaded, hoping he would change his mind. Geez, she did not come the human world for nothing. She did not wear this uncomfortable gown for nothing. He has to help them. She won't be able to see Amelia again if he doesn't. Damnit! Man should stop being hard on them. "Miguel please." She pleaded again. The look on his face was quite unconvincing, "You really want me to help him?" Rieka's brows raised in confusion immediately at his question. She glance at Sebastian before taking her gaze back to Miguel. "What do you mean?" She asked. "You come to my house for help, and you sit like you own that couch huh?" He stared disdainfully at Sebastian. Rieka couldn'
"Rieka!" Sebastian felt his heart skip a beat as her eyes went close. No way! She's not gonna die, is she? He carried her in his arms, feeling fear radiate his body. He stared up at Derek who stood at a distance, smirking evily. His stare turned into a glare as he poured all his anger into it. Sebastian took a step, about heading to Derek when he felt a hand on his shoulder. "This is not the time for revenge Sebastian." Miguel spoke and opened a portal immediately. "Come on, we need to get her to safety." Sebastian stared one last time around the woods filled with dead bodies before rushing into the portal. * * "I warned her, I told her to let me come with you guys. She never listens! Now I have to be the one worried!" Ralph ranted uncontrollably as he walked behind Sebastian who carried an unconscious Rieka in his arms, heading to a room. Ralph rushed quickly and pushed the door open, walking in after Sebastian. "Get someone to call the-" "I already sent a guard to call h
Rieka whimpered, dropping to the ground slowly. Different emotions running through her. She was hurt and angry. The pain from the wound in her chest and the clenching of her heart. She was really mad, mad at the fact that he deceived her, he acted her a fool all along. And how was she so stupid to believe him. She was warned. Miguel warned her but she was too dumb to believe him. She had so much trust for Sebastian,she did not even stop to think about this. Oh, dang it! She slammed her hands on the bars, groaning out loud. "Rieka." She paused when she heard a familiar soft voice call. "Amelia." She held the bars looking out like she wanted to see her. "Amelia! You're really here." "Yes." Amelia replied in a low voice. "You should really stop that." "Oh god, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have believed him." Rieka said in a teary voice. "I was so stupid and dumb to think he'll actually change." "It's okay." Was all Amelia could say. She felt really scared and hopeless. "Amelia, I c
Her eyes fluttered open as her head leans against the headrest, shaking slightly. She blinked slowly, taking in the blurry view of trees. She was moving, or rather the car was moving. "Hey, you're awake." She turned slowly when she heard a voice say. She heaved out a deep breath as she recognised the person. It was Hector, sitting behind the wheel, driving the car. "Hey, where are we going too?" She asked, when all she could see around them was bushes and trees. "Someone safe." He replied briefly, focusing on the road. Rieka looked at the backseat, feeling relief wash through her as she sighted Amelia sleeping peacefully on the backseat. She rested her head back on the headrest, taking her gaze to look outside the window. She dinked into her thoughts as the car was moving in a blur. Surprising the guy she never trusted turned out to be their rescue. Quite unbelieving and shocking. She's always seen him as a bad guy, even though she barely knew him. Guess, she was wrong this tim
