Hazel stood under the moonlight, lost. Her eyes were cold and distant and deep inside she felt broken.Her eyes were welled up with tears and those tears were close to falling but she was doing a good job in holding it in. Less than four days left, four days and she still couldn't find a cure for Vivian. Time was no longer on her side and she knew that but there was nothing she could do. She had so many questions she needed answers to. She was sure that Vivian's father is a human and as for Vivian, she doesn't have any signs of being a mermaid. So how can she have the blood of a mermaid flowing in her body, how could she be a mermaid when she doesn't have any powers or act like one. She has to find Vivian's biological mother because she knows too well that she's the only one that could give her answers but she doesn't know where to find her. She has no idea who she is and she knows too well Vivian also doesn't have an idea. She brushed her fingers through her hair, frustrated and
In a cave, faraway from Gael. Styx walked around the cave with no idea of where he was heading to or who he was meeting. He walked through the silent cave with a cold expression on his face. The cave was dark but because of his vision, he was able to find his way through the cave."Alpha Styx," A familiar voice called."Karl," Styx responded, staring back at Karl who had a confused expression on his face."You are here," Karl said but sounded more like a question. Styx had sent him here after he confronted him that evening to search for a cure for Vivian's illness. He had been here for three days now with no idea of where he's heading. He was lost and he was trying to find his way but he still ends up coming back to the same place he was. But seeing Alpha Styx here was something he wouldn't have expected. "Hmm" he hummed in response, not bothering to explain his reason for being there. Seeing Vivian in the state she was earlier, he couldn't help but be scared. He felt like he was wa
Ophelia and Zara stood in front of the gigantic palace gate. It took a while but they finally reached Gael and Zara couldn't hide the smile on her face.She knows too well that there was nothing she could do to save her daughter. It was too late and that was a truth that hurt and was slowly killing her. She was only here because she wanted to see her daughter even if it would only be for just once. She wanted to ask her for forgiveness and say how sorry she is for leaving her years back. She was scared of losing her back then and her fear came through cause she did lose her daughter."We are finally here, Zara," Ophelia cooed. She sacrificed a lot for her to be here and she didn't regret coming here with Zara. In the end, her daughter's life was also connected to all this.Years back, when Zara had given birth to Vivian. They had made a life-death connection between their two daughters. Something their parents had also doke for them to keep their friendship strong, a connection that c
"Vivian!" Hazel called, rushing into Vivian's room. She could feel her heart beating loudly against her ribcage and she could feel her fear slowly take control of her mind. She stood in the middle of Vivian's room, staring at the empty room with a confused expression on her face. She could have sworn she left Vivian in her room and watched her go to sleep. So where was she now? Where the hell was she?! "She isn't here," Ophelia muttered softly, scared. She felt like something was going to take place soon but what that was, was something she had no idea of. "I..." "What's going on?" Vivian asked in a weak voice, staring at the people in her room. Her eyes lingered on both Ophelia and Zara for a while, she had been waiting for them and they finally arrived. "Vivian!" Hazel yelled happily, running towards Vivian and pulling her into a hug. For a second there she was scared. She was scared that she had lost Vivian. For a second there, she felt like she had lost a part of her. She
Staring back at the reflection of the woman in the mirror, staring into those eyes was something Zara thought she would never get the chance to see. Those judgemental eyes that blamed her for everything, those eyes that hated and despised her for ruining her family. She thought she would never get to see those eyes again but then...she was wrong."Ama..." Her name rolled out of her tongue with her eyes filled with guilt."You remembered," Ama smiled, walking away from the mirror. With time, she hated the way she looked and hated seeing her reflection. She hates the way she felt, staring at her face and she hates that the face reminds her of someone she so much hated."Where's Vivian, Ama?" Ophelia asked, her eyes following Ama's every moment. Strangely enough, she felt no dangerous energy from her and it felt like she wasn't here to attack anyone but for a different reason and that was the only reason stopping her from attacking her. She was waiting for her to explain the reasons she
Styx walked through the silent corridor with no idea of where he was heading to. He had returned back to the palace with Karl and at that particular moment he was lost.Frederick's words kept playing on his mind and he still wasn't able to understand the words he said to him. He kept walking and finally reached the end of the corridor where his painting with Ama was placed. He stood in front of the painting, admiring the picture and he felt a kind of pain in his heart.He could remember vividly how happy she was when they were both taking the painting. She was happy and the emotions in her eyes...was something he would never be able to forget. Styx reached out his hand towards the painting, caressing it. How would it have been, if Ama wasn't thirsty for power? Would she still be with him now and would they have been happy with their little child?Styx was feeling different kinds of emotions, those that he himself found difficult to explain. Even though the child wasn't his, he had
Vivian stood on the balcony with her eyes closed. Her lips curved into a smile feeling the warm breeze on her body. It's disheartening this would be the last time she would feel the breeze and also...she opened her eyes, gazing at the stars and the moon. She wouldn't lie, it hurts. It hurts knowing that this would be her last day on this crazy heart and she would finally be gone. It hurts knowing that before she leaves again, she won't see love in Styx's eyes for her but hatred, one that is only directed at her. She could choose to stay back and get the happily ever after she always dreamed off. She could choose to get rid of Vivian's body but that was impossible. She no more had a choice ever since she chose Vivian's body to reincarnate through. Maybe if Vivian wasn't this sick then that could have been possible but at the moment it was impossible. It was too late and there was nothing she could do and even if there was. She couldn't possibly betray Vivian after the promises she ma
15 years ago"Where are you, Ama!" Lyla, Ama's sister, barged into Ama's room.Ama sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes. She still felt so sleepy but it seems she won't be having any sleep with her sister around. "I've been searching for you!" Lyla yelled dramatically, jumping on Ama's bed."As you can see, I was in my room all along," she responded, stopping herself from rolling her eyes."I can see that and where did you disappear to yesterday. You left me all alone in the palace and I was searching for you, only to find out you came back home without me!" She snapped, glaring at her sister. She couldn't believe she took her to the palace only to leave her there."Did I?" Ama said almost in a whisper but loud enough for Lyla to hear. Her lips curved into a smile, thinking about what happened the other day with a man she had grown to have feelings for. She sure as hell knows that she should feel nothing but shame for losing her virginity to a stranger who wasn't her husband. But what sho
