ゆっくりと閉じられていくドアの隙間から見えた息子の顔には嫌悪が浮かび、その口から信じられないような言葉が出て、青褪めた那須川雪乃(なすかわゆきの)は伸ばした腕を静かに下ろした。
冬の時季、誰も使わない別荘に忘れてきた大事なものを取りに行きたいとねだられ、父親に怒られたくないからと誰にも告げずに母子2人だけで訪れてみれば、建物裏にある物置小屋に閉じ込められた。
「陽斗(はると)!お願いっ、開けて!」
叫んでも、聞こえてきたのは遠ざかる子供の足音だけだった。
10年間我が子当然に大切に育ててきた息子の仕打ちに、雪乃はただ呆然と涙を流した。
どうしてっ…。
ちょうど1年くらい前、なぜか急に子供たちの彼女への態度が変わった。
夏休みを利用して、夫であり父親の那須川悠一(なすかわゆういち)の海外出張について行ったあの頃から、目に見えて冷たくなった。
「うるさい」「あっち行って」「僕(私)の物に勝手に触るな」
数え上げたらきりが無いほど数々の暴言を吐かれ、時には強く叩かれたりもした。
雪乃はなんとなくその理由を察してはいたが、それでも10年という絆を信じていた。
はぁ…。ママ、ママって、あんなに可愛かったのになぁ…。
ドアを叩きすぎて手は腫れ、叫びすぎて声が枯れ、毛布一枚ない粗末な小屋の寒さに体力も奪われ、とうとう雪乃は床に倒れ込んだ。
悠一…。
雪乃は夫の姿を思い描き、その冷たい表情とまるで熱のない口調を思い出して微かに嘲笑った。
こんな結婚、しなきゃよかった…。
そう後悔しながら、彼女の意識は徐々に暗闇へと沈んでいった…。
そしてー
「ーき乃っ、雪乃!」
小声ではあるがそのきつい口調に、藤堂雪乃(とうどうゆきの)はハッ…と意識を覚醒させた。
なに…。何なの、これ…?
ザワザワとした喧騒と静かなBGMが彼女の耳に触り、それと同時に目の前に立つ男を見て、雪乃は反射的に一歩後退った。
周りを見回すと着飾った家族が心配そうに自分を見ていて、雪乃はここがどこで、今何をしているのか理解した。
ただ、理解したからといって到底信じられることではなく、彼女の唇は微かに震えた。
「藤堂雪乃っ、早くしろっ」
「……」
そう急かされて、彼女は向かい合って立つ2人の横に困ったような顔で微笑う神父さまを見た。
指輪交換、ね…。
あぁ~、なんで誓っちゃったかなぁ…。
できれば永遠の愛を誓う前、できればこの結婚式の前に覚醒めたかった……。
あからさまにガッカリと肩を落とす花嫁に、新郎の那須川悠一は苛立った。
「早く手を出せ!」
はぁ〜。仕方ない…。
ため息をついた雪乃は左手をだらんと前に出した。
悠一はそれを掴んで、そのほっそりとした薬指にぎゅっと無理矢理指輪をはめ込んだ。
それから「んっ」と自らの手も新婦に向かって差し出し、嫌そうな表情をする彼女に早くしろと言わんばかりに、また改めて「ん!」と突き出した。
雪乃は本当にしぶしぶ…という感じで悠一に指輪をはめたが、その時突然、彼女の胸に後悔の波が押し寄せて来た。
「ったく…指輪の交換くらいで、何をそんなにもったいぶってんだか…っ」
悠一の文句を聞きながら、雪乃は呟いた。
「やだ…」
「は?なんだって?」
「やだって言ったの!」
そう叫んで、雪乃は徐ろに薬指にはまった結婚指輪を外そうとしだした。
「おい!」
悠一は慌てて彼女の手を掴み、サッと神父の方を見た。
「おいっ、さっさと宣誓しろ!」
「やだやだやだやだ!神様お願いぃーっ。こんなの認めないで!」
「雪乃!!」
この急なドタバタで結婚式はめちゃくちゃだった。
でも雪乃の必死な抵抗も懇願も虚しく、2人の婚姻は一応成立したのだった。
控室にてー
「どういうことなんだ!?」
那須川悠一は目の前のテーブルをバンッ!と叩いた。
「お前は結婚をなんだと思ってんだ!?遊びじゃないんだぞ!」
そう怒鳴っても、ウェディングドレスを脱いだ藤堂雪乃は平気そうに、その唇を尖らせてぶつくさ文句を言った。
「だって、いやだったのよ」
「なに!?」
ふんっとそっぽを向く雪乃に、悠一は怒りで目眩がしそうだった。
自分との結婚が嫌だった?なにを言ってるんだ、この女は!
イライラと歯軋りし、悠一はドカッと椅子に座った。
ふふっ
そんな時、場違いに響いた微笑い声にギロリと視線を向けた。
「なにが可笑しいんですか、母さん?」
「だって…」
答えながらも、彼女は笑いが止まらないようで、ふふふっと目を細めていた。
「母さんっ」
「ごめんなさい?だって、昔の雪乃さんを思い出しちゃって…っ」
「……」
悠一は黙って一つ息をついた。
「おばさま…」
雪乃は恥ずかしそうに頬を染め、ちらりと悠一の方を見た。
確かに、今『完璧な令嬢』と世間で言われている藤堂雪乃は、かつて子供の頃それとは程遠いお転婆な女の子だった。
両家の祖母同士が姉妹ということもあって昔から付き合いがあり、雪乃と悠一も幼い頃から顔見知りだった。
再従兄弟という間柄、割と頻繁に顔を合わせてはいたが男女だったからか、単に性格上か、そこまで親しくしてはいなかった。
悠一は那須川家唯一の後継者として小さい頃から厳しく育てられていたし、友人として付き合う相手も好きに選べる状況ではなかった。
それに比べて藤堂家は比較的自由な家風で、令嬢としての教育も最低限恥をかかない程度、という感じだった。
初めて会った時、悠一は大人たちが食事を楽しんでいるその横で静かに本を読んでいて、その姿は子供とは思えない落ち着き払ったものだった。
一方、雪乃は3歳下の春奈(はるな)と手を繋ぎ、那須川家の広大な庭を散歩中迷子になっていた。
不安で泣き出した妹を慰めながら歩く姿を窓から見た悠一が、執事に声をかけ、迎えに行かせたのだった。
あちこち歩き廻ったのだろう…うっすらと汗をかき、乱れた髪の毛に葉っぱを付けて「ありがとう」とはにかんだ笑顔にドキンと胸が鳴ったことを憶えていた。
悠一は目の前で柔らかそうな頬を膨らませ、拗ねているようにそっぽを向く雪乃を見て、確かに子供の頃を思い出すな…と微かに微笑った。
それを横目で見た雪乃が「なによ?」と言うのに、「いや…」と目元を緩めた。
1 year Later Human Lands 12:43 pm Elora's Pov" Gosh the man is so hot! Can I have him please?'Ren sighs, making a cappuccino in the coffee machine and I just roll my eyes at her comment. Busy cleaning the shelf.Almost over with my shift.After this I will go to the nearby park. Enjoy my time in silence. Then head back to my room and cook myself dinner.Wasn't this the perfect life? I mean without the violence and threats. Just work, earn what these people call dollars and spend it on clothes and food.With a roof over my head and no calls day and night.I was enjoying my freedom and peace untill...." Seriously girl any other girl would die for him. That subtle beard, perfect cut jawline and grey smoldering eyes. Gosh...am I going overboard again?"" You are."I say as a matter of fact. Picking up my bag when she stops me." Where are you going? The boss is going to eat my head if that man complains again!"" He only wants you to serve him El. Go to him."I give her my puppy eyes
Elora/ Mia's povI have always thought sitting in those dark dungeons that good never wins over evil. If that was true, then I wouldn't be in the dungeons in the first place.I wouldn't have a demon living inside me.I wouldn't have killed innocents.I never thought I was good. I knew I was evil. I knew what I did was what a villain would do and not a super hero. I knew I deserved the pain and suffering in the dungeon.I knew I deserved his hatred.But what I never realised was that what meets the eye is never the truth. I always thought my demon was evil but then that day my demon helped me escape from Noah and lie to him.I knew it was not the demon. But the witches who controlled him and made him evil.I realised that while these witches portrayed me to be the bad one...it was not me. It was them.Staring at Noah's barely conscious body in my arms. I see life leaving his body with every passing second. But the worst part, I couldn't do anything to save him.If I be honest here, I
The crowd flinches , seeing the metal studded whip hit the werewolf King. The impact enough to tear his skin, drawing out blood. He doesn't protest nor does he plead.Staring into those pitch black eyes, he accepted his punishment from her hands. Even though she was not consciously doing this, he knew he deserved it and much more than that.He lost count, seconds turn into minutes. And soon he got oblivious to all the pains.When he came here today, he knew he may die. And he was prepared for it.But, before dying. He knew he has to do one thing. He has to save her.At all costs.The whipping sound seizes as Celeste stops Elora. Stepping forward she stares at the barely conscious Alpha King. His shirt was red with blood, not even an inch of chest was left without whip marks. And blood was flowing like a stream. Pooling near his feet.Having lost too much blood. He could barely stay conscious. And Celeste smirks seeing this.Opening the chains blinding him. She sees his body fall dow
The dark night was witnessing one of the most horrendous events, ever being commited. The witches sat at the seats, enjoying the show while two bodies were handing against a wooden post in the forest . Wolfsbane coated chains tying them. The people stood around, making a circle. To have their souls tremble seeing the atrocities getting commited.Their eyes fixed on the girl who stood in the centre with a whip in her hand. The so called queen or rather the girl they thought was the healer, was actually the demon.With eyes pitch black and aura deadly, she was acting just as a puppet.Waiting for the orders.Her pitch black eyes void of any emotion. Staring at a begging Ivy, she stares blankly." Don't do this please...let my brother and Ryan go please! Don't do this!"Ivy begs the witches, who just enjoy her pains. Finding humour in this . Turning to Mia, Ivy tries to bring her back to no avail." Wake up from the spell Mia... please!"There was no sign of the girl Mia in those black
Noah's povOur werewolf army has surrounded the place ,and we could see rogues on duty. Guarding this place. Checking the tracker, I could see an old rusty building in front of me.The place where Mia is." Let's go"Ryan says and I nod at him. We approach the guards from behind and with one nod. We both attack together.Twisting their neck while muffling their screams with our palms.They thrash for a few seconds to go still and we let them go. Making their body fall down with a thud. " Everyone attack now!"I order my people, to see the guards getting taken down everywhere. Looking at the old rusted door in front, we make our way inside.To be only welcomed with a deadly silence." Something is off"Ryan says and I couldn't agree less with him. The eerie silence making an uneasiness to settle in my chest. We approached the basement door seeing the tracker in my hands blinking faster, telling us we were very close to her.Gulping,I push open the basement door to barely see anything
Mia's povThe truck finally comes to a stop and I take a deep breath. Encouraging myself. A futile attempt to calm my nerves.It's alright Mia. You can do this. Remember we just have to pretend like others.I hear footsteps approaching and taking a deep uneven breath I get ready. Morphing my features into a blank look. Staring at a spot on the floor." Get this batch ready. Take them to the experiment room."" Yes Witch Ariel. "Soon men enter and start taking the women out. Before the man's filthy hand could touch mine, I stood on my own. Following the lot.The women seemed to be in a state of stillness.They didn't move unless asked to. They didn't even blink. Whatever this spell was, it looked scary.They all seemed like robots, with no emotions.The line starts moving and I follow behind. When suddenly I hear a voice." Stop"My heart thuds faster at the women's voices. And my heart started beating frantically in my chest. Gulping,I hear the women's footsteps coming closer." Any
