“I might not know what you are going through because I haven’t lost what you have. None of us can understand you,” Joseph spoke as we sat at the bar inside my house drinking wine. “But we are here for you, brother. I have no family except you. You have taken me in and have trusted me with your company, brother. And I will do about anything to help you get both Maria and my niece,” he spoke and patted my back.“I have Koko in my life because you and Maria helped me out. Because you gave me a second chance and I will not miss that. Ever,” Pit spoke and switched off his phone finally. His father has been calling him ever since what had happened earlier.I knew what he was thinking. That he needed to keep his son away from me as far as he could. Because I was trouble and everywhere I went, it seemed to follow me.Just sat there looking at both of them. Smiling and thankful that I have people like them with me. Even though Pit and I had our differences, he was still my friend, and he has b
We stood at a dark opening as we waited for Hope and Thought to arrive. As I said, Carl being Carl followed me again to the land of fae. Also, I think he just needed to see the queens because he had been bothering me about them ever since we arrived in fae.I refused to go to my house and see Odin because I didn’t want to see him and because I never wanted to talk to him because of what they have been keeping from me.And after me and Vykalia had that talk last night, I never had a chance to talk to Roland. And I knew she told him about our talk.He wanted to talk to me about it before Carl and I came here, but I told him we will do that when I get back. I was just tired of all of them. They have been lying to my face and will wait until things escalate, then they will tell me what is really going on. I didn’t want that in my life right now.Odin knew what was going to happen to my daughter. The queen returned the books to him and there was no excuse. He could have told me that was ke
We stood at an opening after running for almost an hour. After Thought told us to run, we all just did that, no questions asked. I mean, how the hell do you question someone who can read your mind and know what you are thinking? We just all did what he told us to do, and that was that.Looked at my poor cat and he was panting like hell. Because he had gained weight for the past months, he couldn’t even run properly. He kept saying we should stop and take a rest. But neither of us paid any attention to him.“Thought what the hell was that?” I asked, trying to catch a breath. “We have been running for nearly an hour and yet you haven’t said anything to any of us as to why we are running.”He looked up and me then at his brother, “you did hear him right? Death,” he asked, looking at Hope as though he wanted him to prove he wasn’t going crazy. “Hope?”Hope looked from his brother to me, then to Carl, who had his hands still resting on his knees as he breathed loudly. “Death heard what Tho
We all stood outside as we waited for the king or whoever to come out. All the way here, Carl kept telling me I should have allowed him to take them down because they were just wasting our time. We were running out of it and the more time we spent standing here, the less time Maria and Angel had. I wasn’t trying to think about that and I wasn’t trying to panic, because I know what panicking will do to all of us. I needed to have a clear head and think before I do anything else. If I were to make even a little mistake, then we were all gone. Death was already on our tail, so we need to be careful with what we do. He knows me and his brothers are in the land of fea and he will do everything to keep us away until he finishes what he has planned for me. Looked at Thought but he gave me nothing. He just looked sad. They were the reasons we took the route into the land of fea. Somehow, they felt responsible for what their big brother was doing to me. Even when I constantly kept telling th
I looked at Carl after they finally untied us. Well, I was still not sure why they wanted us. Why the lies at first that they needed us because we were sent by the queens?All I knew at this moment is that they lied about that and instead had something planned for both me and Carl. They had no use for Hope and Thought. And I hope those brothers can use that to their advantage and help me and Carl out.The same woman that came to introduce herself to us outside and the one that apparently told them that me and Carl will make an appearance to the land of fea walked in. She blew me a kiss as she walked past us and went to sit next to Queen.They began talking in whispers, and the whole time she kept her gaze on me. With a smile that sent a chill down my spine for some reason.“Chill man. And I will tell Maria about this,” Carl spoke for only me to hear.“Carl shut up. And what will you tell Maria about? That a crazy woman was touching my man parts? That she blew a kiss at me? There is no
Paced up and doing as the four of us sat in a one roomed apartment. After talking for a while and after Carl refused to leave this place, I decided we needed to stay for the night. And we were all tired, anyway. Hope and Thought just kept looking at me as I kept telling Carl he was way too emotional. When asked, they both just said we needed to deal with this on our own. That they are not involved in this and they had way too much to deal with, anyway. Their brother was their major priority and helping me to find Maria and Angel. That is all they cared for at this point. And I didn’t press on it because even I knew I needed them to do that. As much as we are staying here for the night, I wish we went on and carried on our search for my family. But Carl. These people have manipulated my stupid cat. I watched as he moved and went to stand at an open window. Refusing to listen to me and look me in the eye. What the hell did they do to my poor cat? I wanted to believe them. Actually,
After my talk with Hope, I felt at ease a bit. He was what I needed at the moment. God made sure he was there at that exact moment and he will tell me those words he did. Because if it wasn’t for that, I would be arguing with Carl even up to now.As much as his words pierced my heart at some level, when he reminded me part of the reason Carl’s parents left was because of me, it also made me realize I own that man a lot. Because of him, I’m here. He had to go through so much just so that I could stay safe.And one question that hit me as I thought about this was why Carl needed to be imprisoned. What did my parents do to make the dread four take him and lock him up? Even when they knew Carl and my parents were not related in any way. They still took him and locked him.I wanted to ask Hope about it. But I decided it was something I need to find out on my own, or they will just lie about it as they always do with everything. But it was on my to do list. Yes, I knew it was because of me
“Thank you for listening to me,” Carl said as we made our way to talk to King and Queen.After last night, I decided I needed to talk to them if I needed to figure out how to get out of this mess my parents put me through. Also, I just needed to talk to the two of them. Nameless wasn’t invited because I didn’t want things to get even more complicated. Also Carl likes her. So if she is present, then we wouldn’t be able to come up with anything useful.But Hope and Thought said they needed to go and talk to Odin about something. I didn’t even bother asking what it was, because knowing all of them, they will just lie about it.“And I hope I don’t regret it, Carl,” I looked at him as we stopped at the door to the common room.“You won’t. They need your help. You might not marry their daughter, but at least help them to save her. Just do something about it,” he said, looking me in the eye. “And tell Maria or anyone else that I was being emotional, I will make them believe you want to marry
