last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-06-10 14:44:02

Maria's POV

The last thing I remembered was Elvira's shrill scream piercing into the silence of the night as soon as I opened the door. It was as if the scream had tripped off a valve in my head because I immediately felt faint as I felt myself falling backwards.

"Don't fall down" Elvira said as she dived for me, making sure to break my fall to the hard floor with her body.

This place was unfamiliar, it didn't look like anywhere that I had ever been. It felt surreal yet, there was a kind of familiarity about it that gave me peace. It was almost like this was not my first time here, as if this was where I truly belonged. This was home.

"Your mission is not yet accomplished, Why are you here?" I heard a female voice speaking to me angrily from the mist.

"I don't know where I am or how I got here. I only remember passing out in the living room of my house" I said to the fog even though I could now make out figures from the darkness.

"But your mission is not yet accomplished; you ca

  • Veil Of Destiny   80: Not a knight in shining armour

    Elijah's POV "You know she told me what you did?" I asked Nathan as he sat opposite me, his eyes looking at me like there was something else going on in his head. "What did she say I did?" He asked me nonchalantly, even though I could see him swallowing nervously and beads of sweat appeared on his head. "You bloody hell know what you did. How could you even think of doing such a thing?" I waved my fingers at him angrily. "There's no reason to be so upset about it, She doesn't really care. I'm sure she is happy to be able to get rid of one of those bas... kids " he corrected himself when I sent him deadly stares. "You shouldn't have done that. You definitely shouldn't. You have no idea what that woman has been through. Nathan, you should not be putting her through all of this." I challenged him, daring him to say anything to counter what I was saying. "She isn't upset. I've told you that she enjoys the attention, I'll find a way to prove it to you, you will see." He said the word

  • Veil Of Destiny   79: The Weight of Loss

    Maria's POV It has been two long days, two days of pure agony and heart-wrenching sadness. I could feel a part of me dying slowly like a grass that somehow can't seem to get a touch of the rain. It was heavy, a burden that I had never known its weight before it was cruelly dropped on my shoulders. For one moment in my life, I felt nothing. Just raw sadness and depression. Elvira moved in with me to help me cope as I refused to go to the palace or move in with Elvira. I had initially kicked against having her around but they would not hear of it and insisted that I had to take an option. Nathan has kept his distance and even the mere sight of him annoyed me. Elijah had made sure that he stayed away and Elvira did a good job in telling him that I was indisposed all of the eleven times that he had come to see me in the last two days. "He looks remorseful Maria. I think you should just hear him out, I don't think that he meant for anything bad to happen to you or the baby" Elvira said

  • Veil Of Destiny   77: Over the Seas

    Maria's POV I didn't know why I ran away, I was too overwhelmed with everything going on and soon enough, I was beginning to feel that my chest was tightening. Nathan had wanted to follow me but I could hear the low growl of Elvira keeping everyone in place. A few minutes later, I heard the leaves behind me rustling a little. I turned to find Elijah behind me. Drawing in a deep breath, I pulled myself together before he even got to me. "I'm sorry about Nathan. He told me that he would behave himself before we got there" Elijah said before he sat down beside me on the edge of a rock beside the clinic. "It's fine. I just hated being the centre of the conversation. It really makes me too self-conscious and I wasn't prepared to be at the time" I answered curtly without bothering to look at him, even though I could feel his eyes on my body. "How do you feel today? Maria mentioned to me in confidence that you are having nightmares. Do you want to talk about it with me?" He asked me, hi

  • Veil Of Destiny   76: Dire need for Redemption

    Maria's POV I woke up sweating profusely, it felt like I had someone's hands pressed tightly to my face and blocking my air flow. The room came to me slowly and I recognised that I was no longer in my house but I was at Elvira's. I had one of the strangest dreams as I had never dreamt about these two together before. "Are you okay? I could hear you mumbling in your sleep?" I heard Elvira's voice from the doorway and looked. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your sleep." I quickly apologised as she made her way towards me, a bottle of water in her hand. She handed the bottle to me when she got to me and I took it from her calmly, taking a few sips before closing the bottle and setting it aside on the table. "You don't have to apologise. I'll give you some medication tomorrow, it should help you sleep better. Maybe it's the bad sleeping routine that is making you see things that are not there" she said as she sat down beside me. "I don't know. I guess I am open to trying out jus

  • Veil Of Destiny   75: In the Witch's Manor

    Sophia's POV "Mother, I have good news. The one whom we have searched for so long is now within our reach." I announced to my mother in the comfort of my chambers with the door tightly bolted. I couldn't afford any more mistakes like what happened the last time. "Why do you say so?" She asked me, her eyes piqued in curiosity. "One of the elders told Leo that there was a woman who could tell him where the silver wolf was" I announced and watched the light in her eyes brighten. "So when are you going there? We are closer to our quest now." She asked me, her voice filled with anticipation. I could feel the pride in her voice when she spoke to me, it had a tone of a newfound respect, one that I had lost when I failed to realise that Lady Willow was already onto me. "Leo has gone to Lady Willow's mansion to sort out everything relating to her staff and business. Once he is back, we will go together. Even though I fear that he is different now, he still includes me in all that he does"
