"Life sucks!" I could not help but sigh, sitting in my office and oblivious to the stare being given to me by my best friend Stella.
She first looked at me like I was crazy and I just rolled my eyes thinking, "Here we go again with the lectures..."
"I heard that!" She snapped at me in my mind then started lecturing me.
"Amelia Maverick how can you even say that!"
"First you have your dream job being a medical surgeon, you own a nice apartment and you’re an attractive 21-year-old with whom men are always swooning at."
She paused for a minute and then spoke again,
"Can't you see, you have the perfect life." After saying those words, she left the room leaving those words hanging in my mind.
"Perfect life my butt as unluckily for me there was nothing called a perfect life." I thought to myself. Every person in this world just had to have something wrong, missing or even weird happening in their lives.
Unluckily for me, I had all those three things happening in my life.
Let me demonstrate that theory for you. Firstly what’s wrong was that I could not find love. I don't even know how many men I had dated and I still could not find, you know "the one".
I was that kind of woman who was always reading cheesy romance stories and still believed in fairy tales. Worst of all, romantic charming fairytale princes did not exist!
Secondly the weird part in my life was that I was born a super naturally powered being. I remember the day I first discovered my powers while living with my parents as an 8-year-old.
Sometimes I really thought of being supernaturally powered as a curse when I thought of all my loved ones like my parents who died 20 years ago and my sister Fina who died last week from old age.
I know you're all thinking "How come is she still 21 when her sister and parents died from old age." The answer to that question was just really simple.
Just like my gifted great grandmother, I was also gifted with an abnormally longer life span. So, what was missing in my life were my parents and my sister Fin.
Besides a longer life span one of the powers I discovered was the shape shifting power. This was a power by which I could turn into any creature I've seen. I don't think I will discover my other powers as I liked to live an ordinary human life.
Living that ordinary life was not easy as I was always envying those people who found their true love and lived a satisfied human life. Sometimes thoughts tormented me, that I was going to die a lonely grandma with 10 cats as her only companions.
This image made me shudder to think I could die like that; then I remembered I have a shape shifting power making me relax.
Suddenly someone burst through my office door calling my name. I realized it was Reed, a male nurse who worked here and was one of my friends.
I think he had a crush on me since I came to work here but sorry for him as he was just a friend to me.
After I thought that a small voice scowled at me, "That is why you’re going to end up lonely forever!"
"Amelia! Don’t forget to meet later as planned. You lost the bet remember." Reed shouted out, while leaving as he was done with his own shift.
"Yeah I will be there,” I replied while sighing inwardly. Yes, today was a Friday night but I was tired and had wanted to stay at home, in my little house. Binging on food and watching Netflix.
But I had lost a bet against Reed and therefore owed him. He wanted me to have dinner over at his house. It would not be a date as he did tell me that he would have some friends over there too for game night.
I first stood up and went to check on a special patient of mine before leaving. An old man named Lazarus Verdaran. There was something unique about him, but I could not place it.
He had landed here after being in a car accident. Although he came in badly injured, me and my team we had worked really hard until he was well.
Entering his ward, I was glad to see how well he had recovered. No longer needing any more surgery. It always warmed my heart whenever I managed to save a life through my line of work.
“My grandson is coming to visit and collect me; I wish you two could meet.” The old man said to me as we made small talk.
“I would wait but sadly I have plans tonight. I owe someone,” I replied feeling sad that he was soon getting discharged and the bed would be empty.
“Its okay, you are still young. Go have fun.” He replied with a sad look on his face.
“Ah fine, I guess I could wait a little and see you off.” I replied giving in and wanting to make him happy.
“Good, let me call him to hurry up and not make you wait any longer,” He quickly replied taking out his phone and making a call.
While he did that, I also went to check out on the other patients in the other wards and also finished packing up and locking my office. Once done a nurse came calling me, saying that the old man Lazarus was looking for me to come.
I opened the door to his room and there he was already dressed up and ready to go.
“Come Amelia, come meet my grandson Caspian,” He immediately said and I turned to see the most handsome guy ever also in the room.
Jet black charcoal curls lay on his head, then was those beautiful silver eyes and perfectly chiseled face. That perfect jawline and kissable lips. His skin was paler than usual and he exuded this aura of royalty. Dressed up in elegant clothes and standing with confidence as his eyes also traced me from head to toes.
And as soon as our eyes met, locking with each other’s, I could feel my heart rate accelerate at an abnormal level.
“Hie, my name is Caspian, and nice to finally meet the beautiful woman that my grandfather has been raving about and the Doctor who saved his life.” As he finally spoke after a moment of us just staring at each other, his voice sounded like drizzled sweet nectar. I wanted to hear it forever. And he called me beautiful!As he walked towards me, my heartbeat increased more as I was frozen on the spot. I did not even know why my body was reacting like that and being out of control. As he extended his hand to shake mine, I could swear butterflies fluttered and sparks exploded as we touched skin to skin.A sexy smile immediately appeared on his face after we touched too, as if he had felt the same as me. I had no idea why I was feeling like this.“My Soulmate.” I could swear I heard him whisper lowly, but maybe it was just my now lovesick imagination.We first continued staring at each other again, with our hands still clasped in
*Caspian's POV*>>“Amelia!” I screamed again at the phone with panic filling up every inch of my being, I could not lose her like this!I had just finished giving my Grandfather a ride home and was about to go to mine when I received her panicked and frightened call.“Hello Ken where is Amelia!” I shouted on the phone to the secret guard I had assigned to follow her always and report to me.“My Prince, she entered into some apartment. Her car is parked outside.” He replied back and I quickly demanded he give me the address. As soon as I had it, I got out of my sportscar, leaving it behind and used my powers instead.Teleporting to right where she was supposed to be. Standing by the door, I kicked it and entered to see this bastard carrying my Amelia`s beautiful form, headed for the bedroom and placing her on it. Then he was about to unbutton her shirt.“You!” I s
Amelia's POVI was very surprised to find myself waking up in a nicely comfy king-sized bed and in a beautifully decorated room. There was a plasma TV and even some cozy sofas to sit on. This made me think why I am not in my apartment, am I in a hotel; then everything from yesterday came back to me like a flashback.Damn Reed and how he had tried to RAPE ME!!!If he was the one who had brought me here and kidnapped me, I was going to kill him! I hoped that he had not done anything to me, as my mind was blank after falling unconscious.I wanted to turn into a dragon and just burn him so- but before I could finish shouting to myself, I became distracted by this view in front of me when I looked through the window.I could see a gate with the walls that were really huge and had a golden color to them. There was even two guards standing at the gates and this made me feel like I was a visitor in a President`s house.Suddenly I he
After eating breakfast I asked Lia if she could give me a tour of the house while waiting for her master Caspian to arrive. It took us 6 whole hours to explore the inside of the house as the house was big and even had elevators. It was like a giant castle.Everything she told me left me speechless as she told me the house had 45 bedrooms. She told me that the 35 bedrooms upstairs were for the 35 servants who lived here and the 10 bedrooms below were for Caspian and his guests.I then asked her how many rooms does it have all together and she told me about a hundred. I didn't believe her then until she started showing me all the rooms one by one even though we did not finish all of them.She first showed me the cinema room which contained a large screen and rows of comfy sofas in front of it. The next room looked like a game store filled with game machines everywhere and the next room we went to had a tennis court in it.I don't know about how many r
Meanwhile....Unknown POV"Your majesty." one of the guards dared to speak."How dare you interrupt me when I'm thinking?" I angrily snapped at him while sitting on my throne chair. I paused to cool down so I did not end up getting my hands dirty in the process of killing this bastard."Voice your reason for interrupting me!" I shouted at him.The guard just stood there first afraid to talk."If you don't talk or if your reason is not good enough..." An evil grin spread on my face as I told him,"I promise to end your pathetic useless life through an eternally painful death."This caused him to speak,"Sorry your majesty but there is a visitor asking for your glorious majestic presence." "What for?" I snapped at the guard."He says he has urgent valuable information for you.""Bring him in." I commanded the guard. Just as he was going,"Wait!" I shouted causing h
I went straight for the bathroom and what I found made me feel like I was in heaven. Everything from the sink to the tub was made of crystal marbles and there was a huge bath tub in the center.I first brushed my teeth luckily there was a new toothbrush waiting for me. The feeling of warm water trickling my skin made me feel relaxed. After bathing I then realized that I had just left my clothes back in the room.I started sneaking into the room feeling like a ninja walking with just a towel wrapped around myself. But just as I was about to reach the bed were the clothes were until I was interrupted by a small praising whistle sound. I froze then I turned around only to find myself facing my deadly sexy handsomeness, Caspian.I could see desire in his eyes as he started checking me out with grin on his face. I looked at him with my one hand on my hip and asked him annoyedly, "Caspian don't you know how to knock or does the concept of having doors mean nothing to
Once I was sure they were gone I sighed from relief while falling on the bed so that my head was now facing the ceiling."Wow." I thought to myself as so many things happened to me until now. I was almost raped by a trusted co-worker. Then I found out I had been saved and slept in some huge mansion and made a friend. Then almost slept with this man I was falling in love with meeting his parents in the process.How did my life lead up to this? I thought to myself as I quickly changed from the towel to my clothes. Just yesterday my life was just simple and predictable but today everything that happened had just been unpredictable and full of surprises.Just then my phone started ringing and the caller ID read Stella. I wanted to ignore her because of yesterday.But then I really wanted her to talk to a friend. I wanted to also tell her about Caspian."Stacy I have a lot to tell you!" but before I could finish she just blurted out,"Your
I don't know how long I stayed staring at the door just trying to register what I've seen.Within 15 minutes Caspian came through the door and looked at me with a worried expression on his face. It was like he was afraid I might just faint or jump from the window to run away.I finally looked at him then I said stuttering "you... your... your... a.... Vampire!" and He just nodded at me."But you don't exist!" I then as a matter of fact told him.A small smile formed on his face as he said "Apparently we do exist."He then tried to take a step forward to me but returned back. I could see he was debating with himself whether to come near me or not.He then finally said avoiding my eyes "Are you afraid of me?"I could not believe he had just asked me such a question, didn’t he know that my other dream had always been to meet another supernatural being like me besides Stella my witch best friend, her family and my grandma Sally.
