It had been two days since I was trying to forget about Lukas. So far it wasn't working and all I could think was what went wrong. There were still fragments of that night I can recall but not the entire night. It was like a blurred memory.
Staring at the reflection of my dress in the mirror I sighed to myself. It made me feel good, dressing up and distracted from the thought I was having. With one final look, I was out of my room and messaged Jaxon. He was going to pick me up.
Locking the door of the flat was always annoying because the key jammed one too many times. After a few seconds, I was able to do it.
The reason I was so ready and nervous was that Mira's mother had insisted me to join their family for dinner. Simply because they were going to open new wine specially imported from Italy. In spite of denying several times, she wouldn't let it go. Mira was also stubborn like her mother so in the end, she was able to convince me.
I felt like I needed to get out of my house more often and not stay cooped in, thinking about him. Wasn't healthy exactly.
Jaxon was going to pick me up because of course I didn't have a car and he had to put a good argument about it. He had some work around the corner so it won't take him long to be in the parking lot. With that thought in my mind, I headed towards the hallway leading to the elevator.
It was eerily calm. Maybe because it was Sunday and most of them were out. My neck started itching as I neared the elevator. The same strange sensation I was having in the club. Was it because of Lukas? But that stuff happens only in movies. Something was wrong with me maybe I thought to try to scratch at the skin. It didn't do much.
As I tried to press the button of the lift it dinged open. I stood back when my eyes widened staring at weird looking people exiting the elevators.
I blinked twice, hoping that it was just a stupid dream but when I stared back at the three of them in identical costumes but the different colour I knew it wasn't. They seemed like some kind of triplets and had long nails which were strange. The scariest part was that they had a glow around them, yellowish colour. Trying to ignore them proved to be a difficult task as I inched towards the lift door.
I had never seen them before in the building which made it even more suspicious. Maybe they were relatives of my neighbour, Mrs Smith. She was always quirky and weird like that, throwing ridiculous fashion parties as she likes to call them.
"Talia" The three of them bowed down in sync which made me take a step back. My breath hitched in my throat when I realised that they knew my name. How was that possible? I never saw them before.
Licking my lips together, I breathed, my voice quiet, "Umm...who are you all? And how do you know my name?"
The first one of them, wearing a green gown and was almost half of my height, inched forward. She had red curly hair, reaching till her shoulders. Her eyes were green like her dress and she had dark brown lips.
"Don't be scared love"
Her voice was calm, almost soothing which made it even scarier. I inched back involuntarily and crashed against the wall.
My hands gripped at the edges of my teal knee-length sheath dress. With ragged breath and blurred vision, I stayed rooted on spot. It felt like a nightmare. Why was it happening to me? I questioned myself trying to bring back the tears in my eyes. My throat feels clogged up and I could not say anything. The first I was holding was sliding down my arm and I made no effort whatsoever to pull it back up. A part of me was aware that I had my phone in the purse and I could call Jaxon but my body refused to do anything out of fear.
The other standing back were whispering something among themselves. The second one with blue dress came forward and held the green dress hand.
"Gia we should leave. She clearly does not remember anything"
"I can see that" Gia snarled, her nails digging into her dress. My eyes shifted in between both of them as they were having some sort of silent communication. It was difficult to figure out what they were saying.
I peeked at the third one, standing quietly near the elevator. Unlike both of them, she had bright yellow colour eyes, sharp and piercing. The colour of her eyes matched her gown which seems to be a common factor between three of them.
"Mia this is our only chance before he tells her everything" Gia barked back to the blue dress one which I'm thinking is called Mia.
The theory I had of them being sisters was slowly being confirmed.
Who was he? What were they talking about?
The last one quietly whispered, "We cannot mess with fate. It was wrong to think that we can do something. Let's go"
"It was your idea, Sia!" Gia barked, looking over her shoulder. Her face was almost red, nose flaring and nails sharply digging into her skin.
Mia placed a hand on her shoulder, "Maybe she realised that she was wrong. We cannot stay here any longer"
Gia who was angry deflated, a loud sigh echoing around the hallways. It made me scrunch my face. That women sure did have some issues. My eyes pinned at the elevator button. It was still on the same floor. There might be a way that I could slip away without them noticing.
"What about Talia?" Gia focused attention back on me. I tried to move further back away only to realise that there was a wall.
Mia inched closer towards me and I breathed deeply. Was she going to hurt me in any way? I did not have anything to defend myself. This is why I should have carried the pepper spray. Mentally cursing myself I held my breath as she finally stood in front of me. A bleak look on her face.
"Do not worry Miss Talia we won't hurt you?" She said her voice gentle and soft which made my shoulders slump down a bit.
She smiled at that, "Do you believe us now?"
I shook my head because they still seemed strange and scary to me. There was no chance in hell I was going to trust them. What if it was some kind of trap to lure me into believing them? Who knows what kind of people were they?
Her face turned down and she sadly nodded her head. I held my breath as she walked away back to her sisters. My eyes narrowed as she gripped their hands.
"You were right. She does not remember us so there is no way we can tell anything without endangering everyone"
Sia sighed, "Exactly! We need to get away from here"
Mia hummed softly and the three of them joined hands and formed a circle. My eyebrows raised in confusion when they all turned their heads at me. What did they want?
"Talia you will remember. Don't worry you will"
"What?" I whispered but they all smiled in unison which made me feel shivers down my spine.
"See you soon Talia"
They softly said and chanted something under their breath which formed a glowing circle around them. I felt blinded for a few moments and then the light was gone. Just like that. I rushed towards the exact same spot they were standing and looked around. Where did they disappear? How was that possible to vanish in the thin air? Running inside the elevator I tried to look around. Maybe there was some secret compartment inside that I was not aware of. They must be hiding there to give me a scare.
My thoughts were interrupted at the loud ringing of my phone. I almost jumped at the sound and looked around before realising that it was my phone. With a sigh, I tried to steady my hand and pick it up from the purse. I noticed it was Jaxons number.
"Hello"
"H-Hi" I mumbled, my throat feeling dry all of a sudden. My fingers were still shaking.
"Talia, what's wrong? Are you fine?"
My eyes flickered towards my back and front and I nodded my head. Words refused to leave my mouth. Was I still dreaming? There was one way to prove it. Bringing my hand towards my cheek I pinched them. A wince slipped out of my lips.
"Talia, what's going on? Do you need me to come up?"
I shook my head, closing my eyes, "No no I'll be fine...I'm fine"

/Lukas POV/Fates lived in a faraway land which was neither on heaven or hell. A made-up land just for the three of them. Most of them feared to go there because of those notorious fairies. As the three of them lived together in the entire land they always have something mischievous planned upon their sleeves.
The room felt like it was spinning the moment I sat down. Trying to blink my eyes I looked around and everything was still blurry. What was happening to me? My head felt heavy as I try to open my mouth. The beads of sweat rolled down my forehead. As I tried to bring my hands to my face I noticed they were clammy and cold.With my head tilted up, I tried not to stay at anything in particular. Clutching the bedpost I tried to slowly stand on
I was proper freaked out over that text. Just when I thought that I could put that night behind and start new it happened. How was I going to forget Lukas if I carried his baby in my stomach? Everything happening to me felt like a weird nightmare. Something I wish never happened.After my mother passed away the only priority I had in my mind was to complete my education. Thinking about a child of my own was the last thing on my mind. But now that I was pregnant I had no option but to think about the consequences. How was I going to contact Lukas?With my two struggling jobs I could hardly get the luxuries for myself how will I afford it for one more? The extra one being a newborn baby. I had no experience with kids maybe a little since I used to visit my neighbour kids but that's the extent of it. As I did not have any younger brother or sister th
/Lukas POV/I couldn't think straight. Atleast not till I was fully convinced that Talia was safe. There were unknown dangers lurking in the shadows on the earth. She was innocent and probably had no idea of what's going to come or what was happening to her. Before anything happens I should do something about it.The three fairies looked elated as I tried to think about something. Why were they so happy about it? I thought while staring at them."Why are you so happy about it?"They shared a look. Were they talking among themselves again? I held my breath until one of them turned towards me."Do you not realise King that you are going to create history?" Mia giggled, her arms stretched
I blinked my eyes, squinting them instantly at the harsh lighting on my face. When I looked around the room my eyes wide under the unfamiliar walls. It took me a few seconds to get the sleep out of my eyes. I winced as I tried to sit up, my head throbbing."Where am I?" I mumbled to myself, my eyes focused on my hands. They were slightly trembling. What was happening to me?I glanced around the room, trying to figure out where I was. The last thing I remember I was waiting on my couch and grumbling about Mira being late. How did I walk out of my apartment without my knowledge?As I squinted my eyes at the window a low gasp slipped my lips. There was a huge water body beyond the window, surrounded by trees everywhere. I pushed the covers off my body and trudged towards the gallery
It was not possible. I thought to myself while staring at Lukas. Why would he abduct me after leaving the very next day? My hands were shaking as I lost my footing, trying to hold steady on my feet. The need to get out of there was intensifying.Seeing his face after trying to forget it was difficult. No wonder that he send someone to abduct me in that way. He knew my address. I should have connected the dots earlier it would have saved me a lot of shocks.Taking a deep breath I looked around, "Why am I here?"His face tightened as he sat on the couch opposite me. The silence in the room was deafening and made me hear every little sound, like the clock ticking, the wind blowing past us and creaking of the door."Because there is something important you need to know"&
/Lukas POV/"Thanks again Lukas" She smiled, her eyes twinkling. For a flash second, they seemed familiar. Too familiar but I shook my head. I must be imagining things again. She seemed out of place and I had never seen her in the club before so there is no way for us to have met."It is alright" I grind my teeth together, my eyes into slits as I tried to find that creep. How dare he try to do something like that? Humans are not aware that the actions like these are the reason they wind up in hell. And then they cry and regret while being tortured. Silly creatures really. They commit sin and expect not to be punished for that."I am so sorry for the boyfriend thing. I just thought that he would back off after hearing that"There we
I refused to cry no matter what. There were so many things going wrong and unpredictable but I still refused to cry. Not because it was a sign of weakness but because I was tired of feeling like I couldn't do anything. If Lukas wanted to be an asshole then so be it. I can find my way out of the hell hole all by myself.When I went back to my room I realised that the sea view outside the window was artificial, something created by the demon himself to make the place look lively. Ironic actually. But that did not stop me from sitting on the ledge of the gallery and admiring the view.Even though I was allowed to explore the huge mansion I was stuck in my room. There was a strong possibility of seeing Lukas outside which would make me angry enough to resort to punching. He could have explained it better, instead of making me feel like I was just some useless creat
