"Who even told you that crocodiles would come over. I know you're only concerned about me but you shouldn't be scaring me this way. I don't like it. Which animal would be awake at this late hour of the night anyway. Don't you think you've cracked a simple joke. If you really want to scare me, come up with something big. Something very dangerous."she was teasing him."If I'm lying then what's that."he asked coldly while pointing at a crocodile in the opposite corner."Co..cro.. crocodile!"the same girl who wasn't getting out of words was now struggling to utter a small word."Oh girl, don't stutter. Where's your ego and stubbornness now. Where are they. I dare you to chase it away!"he challenged."Woooooo..."before he knew it she was screaming on top of her lungs that she almost broke his eardrums. "It's staring at me."she said in fear.Laughing uncontrollably Trion later spoke, "calm down please. It's dead. I can't harm you."Araxie didn't wait for him to finish talking but to wrap he
As a married woman and a wife to someone, I went back to my husband some days before my coronation.He was so happy to see me back but that happiness didn't last for so long after hearing the sad news about my parent's demise.I told him whatever happened over there and the new duties they had left me with. He was a nice man seriously because I remember he promised me that everything would be fine.He shared everything that happened in my absence with me.All was well again till the royal committee members from his side chose the same date for his coronation.Days elapsed and just like that, the day reached.The day that became the worst day of my life. The day that I had to choose between my parents and my husband. The day I had to choose between the promise I made to my husband and the one I made to my parents. I had promised my late parents that I would do anything to make their souls proud and there was this promise I made to your father, I said I would be there for him always, t
"What should we do now. It looks like the bird can't swallow it all.""Yes. It really won't. Her soul is still hot since she just died. We need to cool it down first."Vina said."How.""Your blood. Yes, you need to cool it with your blood for some seconds. Afterwards this bird would swallow it."Are you sure grandma?"After assuring me, I chose to believe her words and did as she said.Without asking any more questions, I picked up a sharp knife from the fruit basket and just like that I cut my left palm without hesitation.It wasn't long before blood began to flow like a river on the floor till it reached where the exhausted bird laid.After sometime, the bird swallowed it up before it fell unconscious.All I could muster right then were three words, "what's this Vina?"was all I could ask.She would tell me to have patience. "The bird just passed out. I'm sure it's going to come around though I'm not sure when.""I hope it wasn't too late". She mumbled but I heard it all."What are y
"I can't believe this. W-what's all this Michael? What have you done to me? What's that, that I lack and you've found it in her. Tell me Michael...I need to hear it from you. Tell me that all this is a lie. Tell me that you love me so much that you can't marry someone else."she was crying like a kid."Why are you not saying anything dear. I know you're innocent in all this, it's only that this woman here..... I can't believe she influenced you into doing this. You can't leave me like this love."this time she was on her knees but Michael wasn't saying anything."Hey... how dare you take my husband away from me. You shameless woman, how can you not see that he already has a family? He's a husband and a father to someone. How did you convince him that he fell for your trap. I can't believe he agreed to abandon all his responsibilities as both a father and husband just for you. What magic did you use, you mistress."she was yelling at his wife. He could've tolerated everything but this tim
As a good father, Michael hugged his daughter. He knew she was innocent in all that was happening. Her mother must have influenced her. Besides, she was still a little girl who would obey her mom's instructions.Michael kissed Casey's forehead before he got his gun out and put her on gun point.It was hurting him but he didn't have another choice. "I'm sorry child.. I have to do this for your sister."he breathed while holding her from behind."W-what are you doing Michael. Put the gun down. You might hurt her."Marina cried. She was shocked. She was wondering what he was trying to do with their only daughter."I'm doing what you've done to my daughter. You've killed her, didn't you? So, I'm going to kill her too and we'll be even afterwards."there was coldness in his voice. It looked like he was serious about his words. All that left Marina shaking in fear."I.. what... are you saying?""Don't act like you don't know anything. Stop your drama right now because I know everything with so
Trion looked for a best way to appreciate Tia for what she had done but couldn't find one. Wow, she had helped Araxie to come around, what else would he ever ask for! Quickly he picked Tia from the ground and embarrassed her while he cried. The whole situation had left him emotional. "Today you've proved that you aren't just a mere bird, but you're my mom. You've done what a mother would've done for her son. Thank you mother. I always doubted my thinking but after today, I feel like calling you mother for the rest of my days. You're my beautiful mother Tia. I'm so happy that you never left me. I love you so much Mom."He was planting kisses everywhere on Tia's wings."W-where...a...am I ?"Araxie later asked after her eyes had fell open. She didn't remember how she returned back there in the cave. The only memory she had was that she was swimming to the top. "Why did you bring me back. You knew I wanted to go home, you should've helped me take me to the top instead you brought me back
"They used to visit the bridge every evening. I guess...."Judith said eating her fingers out of fear."You're even not sure! Oh my gosh, this woman wants to waste my time." Marina was naturally rude!"I think you have a problem with me personally."Judith pointed. "At least I'm guessing, and you... what are you even doing. It's like you've come only to follow me around."she added. Judith was always a soft woman and everyone knew that fact, but she was so different when the matter was about her daughters."Are you challenging me now? Am I following you around? Anyways, I believe you are right about that. I've been following you around because I expected something from you but not anymore! You're just good for nothing like every other human. You said they're here but I can't see anybody around. I hope you aren't going to ask me to jump into the river to search for them. Hahaha!!! But I don't blame you Judith. I blame the fact that you're a human, so innocent and brainless."Wait! Was sh
The next time Marina opened her eyes, it was already morning of the next day. She had to go back to the Sea. She hoped to find either Araxie or her corpse.Thank God Araxie froze before making it to the Sea surface otherwise Marina could've found her.Marina and her sailors were seen searching as much as they could but didn't find anything.This left Marina with no choice but to declare her dead.It didn't take long before people gathered at Marina's house to sympathize with her.Hoping that Araxie was still alive, Judith and her daughters never felt the need to go to Marina's house.Judith too was convinced after Sarah told her what exactly had been happening in Araxie's life."I hope he saves her this time as well."Judith breathed after listening to everything.Elsewhere, Trion returned after crying his pain out. "The water is no longer cold, let's go."he said.Wait! What's going on?"Are you sure you want this?"Araxie asked looking at how strange Trion was behaving. A moment ago he
