“What happened Lor? I could feel your distress from afar. Are you okay?” My best friend, Amanda walked in looking greatly concerned about me. She came to a stop after a few steps in and looked around weirdly as though looking for something. When she couldn’t find what she was looking for, she hurried towards the opened window and looked out into the streets as though what she was looking for was there. I don’t know if she found what she was searching for but after a moment of gazing out, she gasped and closed the window hurriedly. She closed her eyes, rested her back against them, and tried to calm her erratic breathing. All these, I watched from where I stood trying to piece one and two together and reason out why she was behaving like this. Mind you, this wasn’t the first time she behaved weirdly around me. She has been like that since we were toddlers. According to our parents, when we first met were at the age of two at the popular park close to our houses. That day both our m
Not believing my ears, I pulled my hands angrily from hers and took two frustrating steps away from her. “Really! Really, Amanda. That’s what you’ve got to say? I can’t believe you. I just told you that two unbelievably powerful supernatural beings that are supposed to be mere fiction, none existence, are after me for reasons you are not willing to tell me. Now you are here telling me that they are not the only ones but several more are going to be after me!” I turned away from her and pulled hard on my hair in frustration, not knowing what to do.“What will it take for you to tell me the reason why they are after me? Why is it so hard for you to do so? It’s my life that is most probably in danger here, why not tell me the reason why so I can be prepared and ready for whatever will come my way. Is it not better that way?” I turned towards her and continued more gently.I waited for a few more minutes to see if she will eventually talk but after some time, she still looked adamant to s
A very beautiful young woman with silver-gray hair and blue eyes color, who seems to be around the age of twenty, came out of the arrival point of entry in country M with three adorable kids. A girl and two boys. On a closer look, the three children look soo identical. The only difference is their hair color. The girl looks so adorably cute with her ombre hair and blue eyes, just like her mother's. Her long ombre hair reaches down to her waist, and her looks were complimented with a cute baby blue embroidery Bardot dress that compliments her eyes. The two boys have blonde and brown hair which makes them delightfully dazzling to look in their way. They both have light brown eyes. The boy with blonde hair has a pair of reading glasses on his face which gave him a gentle demeanor. While the boy with brown hair has a cocky and arrogant kind of look on his face which lets you know the troublemaker between the two boys. The woman herself was drop-dead gorgeous. On her were printed trous
That night, Amanda, who was concealed in an old lamp by an evil sorcerer, was found in a small tunnel, when she decided to hide and take a brief rest before she continued running away from those after her. Scared and pretty shaken up, she allowed her gaze to roam the small tunnel before it landed on the small lamp at a corner. She reached for it and patted it three times in an attempt to dust the dirt from its body and in the process, the jinni inside suddenly appeared, scaring her a bit more.After some minutes of calming herself, she finally realized what had happened and what: or rather who it was. She had heard tales of Jinni before but had never come across one and hence believed they were just folktales. Yet, seeing one appear before her, proved that they were more than folktales and were real. Since she came across the lamp and accidentally set Amanda free from the lamp, Lorel became her temporary master and was granted three wishes to make. Her first wish was for Amanda to
Lorel nodded in replied "mother"She looked at her mum with no expression on her face while in return, her mother gave her a forced smile.One could tell that there was extreme awkwardness in the air between the two women. '"Grandmother" the triplet greeted her with smiles on their face."My three cuties, I've missed you" Mrs. Allison quickly bent low to hug the children breaking the awkward air."Grandmother, we miss you also" the kids answered happily returning her hug."Eldest Miss, welcome back." the chauffeur greeted her while collecting their luggage from her."Steven nice to see you again how have you been""Very well Miss Lorel""Hmm...alright then let's go," Lorel said walking ahead of the group.Mrs. Allison shrugged and led the children out to the waiting seven-sitter SUV car that was waiting for them."Trinity are you moving back into the family house with your dad and me or you are renting your place," her mother asked her as they all got into the car."I'm renting but f
"If it is grandad and grandma's house, it is also ours. Whatever belongs to them, belongs to us. Am I right grandma?" Haya countered him and gave mum her puppy eyes look as she wait for her response. I know that look very well. It is the one she gives when she wants someone to yield to her demands. So far no one has ever been able to turn her down once she looks that way, except me when needed. She always looks so adorable when she does that. From the look of things, my mother has also been hooked by her. "of course, my darling, this is also your home." "See, I told you so. I ignored the conversation that was going on among themselves as I took my time to observe our surroundings. I have no idea why but I have these unsettling feelings that we were being watched. This feeling started the moment we came down from the plane, but I could not locate who it was that was monitoring us. I quickly ushered the kids into the family house while trying my best to not alert them that som
I watched her as she walked ahead of me and wondered if I was being too harsh on them or if I was overreacting too much. Honestly, I don’t feel angry anymore but… Whatever… They shouldn’t expect that I will behave with them as though nothing happened even though I don’t feel the way I did before. It’s impossible. I can’t pretend it didn’t happen. Not really feeling any remorse about my attitude towards them, I followed her to the room she had prepared for Haya to see how they’d tidied it up. I looked around the room and saw that they’ve outdone themselves in renovating it to a typical princess bedroom style. A Pink princess bedroom features a cloud tray ceiling accented with a pink flower ceiling fan placed above walls painted pink lined with a Candy Buttons headboard on a twin bed dressed in white and pink butterfly bedding next to a single round bedside table and a Melissa & Doug Plush Giraffe as well as a pink settee placed at the foot of the bed. Everything literally screa
“Lorel” “Liam” I replied and walked towards him, or rather towards my room which was just right beside him. I had no intention of entertaining him and intended to walk right to my room without stopping. "Lorel, can we talk?" he asked me when I got to his side. "I don't think so. There is nothing to talk about between us. If you would excuse me, I need to freshen up and attend to one or two things." I said bypassing him and going directly to open my door but he stopped me by gently placing his hand on my hand that held the door handle. Surprised, I quickly moved my hand away, "What do you think you are doing?" I asked him. "Please Lorel can we talk? I know you are probably tired now so can we talk later before dinner when you've rested enough." He pleaded while looking a bit sad at my reaction towards him. "As I said before Liam, I don't think so. I have no wish to discuss anything with you. Hence, I'm pleading with you now that please don't approach me when we happened to be
