“Wait, back up a little bit,” she sat up straight as I explained to her what happened after she left me in fea. And the whole time I was telling her everything she was stunned.At some level, she wanted to cry with joy, because the sister she thought was dead was now alive. But again her joy was short-lived when she remembered that her sister was on Frazer’s side. The man that wanted to kill my baby. To kill our baby.“So, is she okay with all this? Maybe he did something to her,” she asked with Hope in her eyes that her sister had been manipulated. Because during the last days before we thought Revoc killed her, Maria and she began bonding for the first time.And I saw how happy she was during that time. At least one person in her messed up family began talking to her and understood her.But it was all for show. She didn’t have anywhere to go and if she wasn’t good to Maria then she might have been scared we might have chased her out of the house.“Maria, I saw how she looked and me
“Suzan?” I shouted as I looked at the woman holding my brother’s hand. “What the hell is going on here? You are supposed to be dead, woman. Frazer, what did you do?” I asked as I walked backwards, trying to understand what the hell had just happened.The last time I saw her was when her parents allowed her to die. When Revoc killed her and they allowed it. I have been upset with them because of that as well. Maria doesn’t even talk to them because of what they allowed her heavily pregnant sister to go through.And now she stands next to me in the flesh. That too with my brother, who wanted me dead.“Hello brother-in-law. I never thought I would see you anytime soon. And I heard you have a daughter. My sister always wanted one. Congratulations,” she said, smiling at me and finally resting her head on Frazer’s shoulders.But I was elsewhere. Because this is just not happening to me right now. It doesn’t make sense and I don’t think it will ever make sense. She is supposed to be dead.“I
I looked at Odin as he smiled at me, realizing all this time I wanted him for something else and not what they all thought.Then I turned to the dread two. Hope and Thought, and I knew they were trying to look brave and all. But in all actuality, they were terrified and worried. Deep down I knew they loved their brother even though he acted stupid and was proving to them he was far gone to be saved.They tried everything they could to help him, but he never tried to change what he was. No matter what they did.Even today, they both tried mostly Hope, he tried to bring the man back. To make him come to the light and see that what he was trying to do was stupid. But nothing. Maybe he was far gone, as Thought said. Maybe their brother was not there. Someone else took over and we can’t change that. No matter what.“You know this only worsens things for all of you, right? I tried showing mercy to you and your family. Because I thought you were different from you parents. But I guess the ap
As I thought about everything that has been happening from the time I realized I was a billionaire. The time Roland called to tell me that my parents died and then he came and told me they left all this money, my life has been a total nightmare, nothing has gone right ever since that day, and now I wonder if it was bad to accept everything my parents left me.Because my life was a bit simpler than before, all the money came in. Maybe more money means more problems. Maybe that phrase is true because it has proved to be true for me.Looked at me right now. Standing in front of Death as he and his siblings talk their family issues off. And in all those family issues, I was playing a part. Before this, I was just a son-in-law working for his father-in-law’s company.Yes, during that time, maybe Maria might have lost her way, but that was because of her parents, as she explained. They forced her to sleep with Pit because of all the money he was going to bring to the family. But my life was
I went flying across the mountains as Death’s lightning bolt hit me. As I said, so much for keeping my emotions in check. I don’t even know what I was thinking, but immediately I saw Maria and that little girl, my heart just left its normal place and began hopping up and down. All I wanted at that moment was to hug them and feel their breath against my neck. But here we are now. Head dipped in snow.Looked up to see Hope and Thought running towards their brother as they kept avoiding whatever magical things he sent at them. But because they were good people and didn’t want anything to happen to their big brother, they did send anything to Death. They just tried to avoid what he sent to them.Then, as I turned, hoping to find what I was hoping to see, Carl stood looking at Maria. He was stationary. Not moving and not blinking. He just stood there about twenty feet from me.Then he scooped up Angel and took Maria by the hand as he carried them away from the now dead guards. I wonder how
“We will be there in a while,” Hope spoke, looking at me with delight in his eyes.We have been walking from this God forsaken forest for nearly three days now. And the only thing we managed to find close to food were apples. Which Carl was skeptical about for some reason. Anyway, he said he never liked apples.And now they were saying we were almost at the place where they suspected their brother to be keeping my wife and daughter. And I was hoping it was the place because I was going crazy with each passing day without seeing them.I wonder if my baby girl will even recognize me. She must have grown and I hope nothing has happened to either of them, because that will be the end of Death and everything he ever cared for.“Everything will be fine. You shouldn’t worry that much. I know Death would never do that. Not because he is good, that man is bad news. But because that is not his main goal. He wants you and to finish what he planned to do to your parents. Yes, he might hurt them t
“What shall we do now?” Carl asked as he wiped off blood from his lips. “You said we are going to leave without attracting attention. But so much for that, huh?” He added as we watched the people looking at us.I didn’t even know what to say or do right now. Because after what we did to their daughter, who they so desperately wanted to save, they will not let us go now.“We told you to kidnap Carl and leave. If we left that very night, then none of this would have happened. You are way too attached to people. You need to lose some of those please,” Hope spoke as he walked and stood next to me and Carl.“Now get us the hell out of this mess,” Thought added, and stood next to his brother.I looked at them all, trying to get why they were blaming this on me. Yes, maybe I was touched. But I was just trying to be human. To help in any way I could. And it’s just unfortunate that it got me into this state.“What happened in there,” King finally asked and walked to me. “Where is Nameless?” He
I wasn’t even sure what I was going to say to both of them. Because I knew whatever I might say might either make them lock us up or make me marry their daughter by force, or they will just end our lives. Either of what they might do sounded good to me.I have people that I need to protect. I came with them and this was on me, if anything was to happen to them because of me, I would never forgive myself. Especially Carl.We finally entered the common room as they allowed us in. Both King and Queen sat inside waiting for us.“Yes, Justine. Do you need anything?” He asked, smiling at me.I knew they might as well have sensed that something was going on. That somehow, Carl might have managed to pick up something from them and managed to escape whatever they put him through. So, I might need to be careful with what I say and do.I just smiled back at him as I and Carl took our seats, “not that much. I’m just asking for the truth.”I just ignored Carl’s glare and kept my eyes fixed on King
We all stood in my room. Hope and Thought after a few minutes of me and King and Queen having a conversation, they showed up from the queens.And they didn’t come with any good news. The only thing they brought with them was that the queens were keeping the instrument safe and have kept it in a safer place that neither me nor Death will find it.Also that my brother was still there and they will make sure he stays there as long as I do what they asked of me. And that is giving my Carl to them. Which I will never do. My son will not marry both of them. I don’t want him to die young.Also, as they walked through the land of fea, they picked up something that would lead us to their brother. Yes, they knew something about where he was keeping my wife and daughter, but now they were certain he was here and where exactly.But that was all they brought to me. The rest was for me to figure out. They were still not playing a part in what was going on in my life right now, because, according to
