It was in the evening, as usual they had to go for an evening walk. Sarah had promised herself to act like she was angry with her sister. She had planned to ignore her for some good time but that stopped when she saw her running to them with the letter in her hands."Oh no! She's brought it with her. What if Araxie....." No, this can't happen."she took some steps backwards as she told Araxie to carry on. "What are you doing sister. Don't forget we're doing this behind her back. Couldn't you find a way to hide it. God knows what would've happened if she saw this letter!"she was shouting at her like she did earlier."I'm sorry sister. I shouldn't have talked to you rudely earlier. I should've trusted you."The only thing Sarah wanted was her sister's apology and now she has. "It's okay sister. You don't need to apologise. I can understand how disappointed you might've felt when I told you that I was writing to Trion. It's all my fault, I shouldn't have kept it from you. I should've to
"Presentable dress! What's that?"I knew you would ask me this. Actually sister...."Casey was about to say something but later paused. "You should put on this. Find us in the living room once you're done, okay?"All Araxie did was to nod."Oh gosh!"Araxie said loud as she held the dress against herself.Putting it on she realized that the plunging neckline led down to her belly button. The dress joined its associate in the rejection section of the rack.She didn't like it at all."I simply can't wear this!"she breathed."Are you done dear. Mother has sent me to take you downstairs. You know you haven't greeted the guests."Casey said politely."I-I can't go with this dress.""Why."Casey's face dropped on hearing that."What's the need to put on this. I have my own clothes.""I know that... but you won't look sexy and attractive.""Sexy! Why must I look se...(what's that word again). There's something you aren't telling me sister. What's going on?"Araxie was really troubled and confus
She might not have fallen in love with him at first sight but her feelings for him were strong that even when she wasn't feeling love for him, she wanted to meet him one more time in pretence of thanking him. You were saying that what if he's dangerous...I will answer that too, but you need to tell me first, why would he save her if he had bad intentions for her." Aurora was trying to hold herself together. She was also shocked by her own actions."No, I shouldn't be regretting. I've done the right thing."she convinced herself."I'm going home to tell everyone what you've done."Sarah told her.Though Aurora believed that she did the right thing, telling everyone at home was the last thing she wished to happen."I must stop her. She can't go home otherwise I'll be in trouble. I will be done for, and my whole plan -everything will be ruined"she thought.I'm sure she was going crazy. She still believed she was playing her game. Poor girl!"Hold on Sarah."she called and luckily her siste
"Aren't you sleepy?""No. I don't feel like sleeping, who knows if this water..... I'm just hungry.'On hearing that she was hungry, Trion immediately left to go find her something to eat."It's like he sounded hurt when I mocked his cave. Why did he leave without saying anything. I told him I'm hungry but he just left.., should I follow him up? Who knows what he's up to."she thought.Wandering her eyes around, she saw white papers on something that looked just like a stool though it wasn't.All she wished to know was finding something about that man. She quickly stood up before she reached for those papers.Surprisingly for her it was Aurora and Sarah's handwriting.What shocked her to the core was that they had sent those letters on her behalf."So this is that man!", she breathed."I can't believe they have been lying to me. They said they would help me teach him a lesson when actually they were encouraging him like this."Everything makes sense now... It means Aurora pushed me on
Wait! Was Trion going to watch her change her clothes? She hoped he was mature enough to understand.Holding the dress, Araxie quickly stared at Trion, waiting and hoping that he would walk away and let her change but no, he kept his eyes fixed on her, without blinking instead."What's wrong. You didn't like the dress?"he asked as if he didn't know what was bothering her."No."she hurried to say. She had liked the dress but his presence wasn't letting her admire it to her satisfaction."No?""Oh... yes. I mean I like it but...""But what?"he asked stubbornly."I can't change with you here. Can you please give me some space. Come back when I'm done changing ""What. You mean me being here is bothering you this much. Do you even know why I can't leave you alone even for a second?How would you know when it's your first time spending a night under the sea."he shouted at her.Araxie found it strange but couldn't bring herself to ask him anything."I'm sorry. I shouted at you for no reason
"Who even told you that crocodiles would come over. I know you're only concerned about me but you shouldn't be scaring me this way. I don't like it. Which animal would be awake at this late hour of the night anyway. Don't you think you've cracked a simple joke. If you really want to scare me, come up with something big. Something very dangerous."she was teasing him."If I'm lying then what's that."he asked coldly while pointing at a crocodile in the opposite corner."Co..cro.. crocodile!"the same girl who wasn't getting out of words was now struggling to utter a small word."Oh girl, don't stutter. Where's your ego and stubbornness now. Where are they. I dare you to chase it away!"he challenged."Woooooo..."before he knew it she was screaming on top of her lungs that she almost broke his eardrums. "It's staring at me."she said in fear.Laughing uncontrollably Trion later spoke, "calm down please. It's dead. I can't harm you."Araxie didn't wait for him to finish talking but to wrap he
As a married woman and a wife to someone, I went back to my husband some days before my coronation.He was so happy to see me back but that happiness didn't last for so long after hearing the sad news about my parent's demise.I told him whatever happened over there and the new duties they had left me with. He was a nice man seriously because I remember he promised me that everything would be fine.He shared everything that happened in my absence with me.All was well again till the royal committee members from his side chose the same date for his coronation.Days elapsed and just like that, the day reached.The day that became the worst day of my life. The day that I had to choose between my parents and my husband. The day I had to choose between the promise I made to my husband and the one I made to my parents. I had promised my late parents that I would do anything to make their souls proud and there was this promise I made to your father, I said I would be there for him always, t
"What should we do now. It looks like the bird can't swallow it all.""Yes. It really won't. Her soul is still hot since she just died. We need to cool it down first."Vina said."How.""Your blood. Yes, you need to cool it with your blood for some seconds. Afterwards this bird would swallow it."Are you sure grandma?"After assuring me, I chose to believe her words and did as she said.Without asking any more questions, I picked up a sharp knife from the fruit basket and just like that I cut my left palm without hesitation.It wasn't long before blood began to flow like a river on the floor till it reached where the exhausted bird laid.After sometime, the bird swallowed it up before it fell unconscious.All I could muster right then were three words, "what's this Vina?"was all I could ask.She would tell me to have patience. "The bird just passed out. I'm sure it's going to come around though I'm not sure when.""I hope it wasn't too late". She mumbled but I heard it all."What are y
