Damien went straight home. And just like a man on a mission, he headed towards the staff quarters. She said she would come to him but then he doubted if her time and his would ever correlate.She might be gone again, for all he knew. He was not going to give her time to go far before he caught up with her. She was going to give him the answers he needed. Then he would search for his next link. He needed to get his move on. He had done enough of waiting and learning. He was going to start acting and learning now. He couldn’t find her anywhere. He had activated his invisible mechanism to avoid any unnecessary questions that might piss him off or distract him.“Where the hell was she?” he thought in anger as he went in and out of the kitchen, laundry room and other places yet he couldn’t find her. Yet, he was sure that she was still there. Not that he could feel her the way he could feel the princess. It wasn’t that at all. It was more like a sensation. He sensed that she was still in t

“She knew my mum” Damien was befuddled by the forlorn tone that the princess used as she entered the room, leaving Damien by the door. He was not confused for long though because he soon realized the reason for her sadness. It wasn’t a secret that the queen, her mother was dead after all. Damien rubbed the sleep from his eyes and looked at the clock. It was 01:09 am already. He wondered how long the girls had discussed if the princess was just coming back by that time. He could imagine his legs going numb from all the wait if he had stood behind that door trying to listen in on their conversations. She already sat on the couch, staring into space as if she couldn’t hear him as he came to stand in front of her. Damien knew that she was aware though and he wondered why she looked so spooked or…he had no idea what to call it but she was not the girl he had come to know. “Are you okay?” he asked though even if could imagine how stupid that sounded since she certainly did not look fi

Damien was dumbfounded as he watched her dash away after her outburst. A trait that was very unlike the girl that always seemed so cool, calm, and collected. He had forgotten the Airpod in his hands as he looked towards the direction that she dashed away through. He had no idea what he had done but then it seemed like it was serious. He had seen a sheen of tears in those tawny eyes of hers after all.He was still pondering what he did when Sky came back. “Oh, those kids wouldn’t leave me be unless I do what they want. So annoying but cute in a way as well” he said with a grin as he jostled Damien with his arms. “Do you know that two of them were not-so-subtly hitting on me? Ah, yes. So cute” he said with a feigned shudder before he bursted into laughter again.Damien merely nodded and smiled wanly.Sky gave him a mischievous look “I knew I was right when I said you are missing the princess so much that you couldn’t even function properly. Look, you have not even used the Airpod yet” h

Isabella looked up at the door as it swung open and her heart thumped when she saw the doctor enter. Though she had been so antsy about getting the test result as fast as possible, her insides clenched as the man came around the table to sit in his chair. Before she went to bed the night before, she had no idea that she would be taking the step that she took that morning. Amidst her tossing and turning though, she had finally decided before morning. So she got up as early as possible. Got dressed, and then went to her father’s chamber to get the samples that she needed. She ignored the memories that wanted to creep into her mind as she got into her father’s chambers. The memory of great times she had had in that room. Memories of the times she had spent with her dad even after her mum died and she had believed with everything in her that she belonged to him. At the moment, she couldn’t even think of anything like that. So, she just ensure that she took enough samples. From his comb

She ignored him for the rest of the day. Damien wondered how he was supposed to ask the girl if she liked him if she was not even going to acknowledge his presence. He was sure that Sky was just been delusional but then he had to know. Yet she wouldn’t even look straight at him. When the principal gave a directive for everyone to drop their full names and other details with her, she merely looked stoically over Damien’s shoulder as he gave her his details. Sky was watching them and Damien was expecting a jest of a sort when he got back to his seat. But he could see that Sky was still seething from the anger of what he heard earlier. Damien, who had had a long time to deal with the fact that his body had been abused in the most despicable manner, still feel weird about hearing it all like that again. It was as if he was reliving what had happened to him. And the pain. The fact that he could still somehow feel the pain even though his butthole had long healed, was more than embarrassin
