Sophia got up excited, happy to show off her success to her father. A billion dollar contract was no child's play. Tyler got dressed and had breakfast while waiting for Sophia to finish up leaving hera toast and a cup of coffee. Sophia walked down the stairs, an embodiment of beauty and gentleness. Tyler couldn't get his eyes off her. Watching her closely, walking gracefully. Tyler had never been so intrigued by a woman, he never understood the concept of love until he met Sophia. Tyler always made sure to hold open every door, that was one of his many love languages. . They got in and left for Walter House. They drove down a circular path decorated with beautiful rare flowers. As they arrived, Sophia became nervous. Tyler looked at her and noticed the beads of sweat, trailing down her face. He held her hand, "hey, you've got this okay?" She looked at it and took deep breaths before walking into the house calling the attention of the family who were seated at the dining table h
Sophia woke up in a room which looked like it was decorated by a five year old. She felt a small hand on her leg startling her."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you". The little girl spoke. Sophia looked at her like she had seen a ghost. The little girl was extremely beautiful, her lush white hair complimented her emerald green eyes. She looked really young. "She couldn't be above five years old" Sophia spoke inwardly. "I'm not a child. I'm way above five years old ", the little girl answered correcting Sophia's thoughts, sending chills down her spine."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that out loud"."But you didn't". The girl retorted. "Here, drink this. It'll help with the pain you're feeling ".Sophia took the cup from the girl's hand not trusting the content."I didn't poison you, I saved you. You wondered into the wrong side of the forest. My name is Maya ". The little girl spoke with excitement."Maya, it's a nice name. I'm So—" a loud screeching sound filled the room causin
She pulled away from Tyler, looking at him with tears in her eyes. "It was you," she quavered. "I saved you that night, you were the one in the fire, I got burnt from saving you ". She stepped back from Tyler, trying to get a hold of herself. "Sophia, calm down". He coerced her. "Don't touch me!" She yelled. "You caused that fire, you didn't need saving. You're the Dragon Marshal, you could've stopped it". She pulsated. Tyler reached for her hand, trying to explain what she saw. He knew she was special and one day she was going to see everything. "Please, listen to me". Tyler pleaded. "My face got ruined because of you". She snapped back. "Well I never asked you to save me!" Tyler bit his tongue regretting what he had just spewed. Sophia looked at him with mixed emotions of pain and anger, most of all, sadness. "You're right, good night." She took to her heels, wanting to be as far away from him as possible but she couldn't, it wasn't safe. Sophia was extremely lucky to have
Lewis decided to take the winning side."Walk with me ." Lewis spoke, directing the command to Philip. Lewis made sure to signal his guards, letting them know his next move.They stood by the pool side, embracing the view. "I called you here to talk business". The old man snapped his fingers and just like that Philip was surrounded."What is this madness?" Philip yelled."It's just business my boy." Lewis pattes his shoulder before walking away. "Bring him to the car". He instructed.The guards tied Philip up and out him in the car, driving closely behind their boss.The old man picked up his phone and called his granddaughter. "Hello, who is this?" Sophia asked."Give the phone to your lover". She instantly recognized his voice and did as she was told. She hurriedly gave the phone to Tyler. "Grandfather". She mouthed."Speak to me". Tyler affirmed."Where should I drop your delivery?" He queried."I'll send the address." Tyler hung up immediately and returned Sophia's phone. He place
The shocking turn of attitude towards Sophia left her in shock. She wasn't human neither was she with the man she began to love. She had only read about fairies, surely as a child she wished to be one but seeing as her wish had taken the most important person from her life, she couldn't be more devastated.As the days went by, Sophia and Tyler lived like mere housemates, coexisting and barely crossing each other's paths. Tyler hadn't told her to leave his house but where would she go? Sophia had paused her learning with Maya, after the incident with Tyler, she lost interest in everything. Nothing seemed fun anymore. Sophia thought it'd be better to move in with Maya and look for a job. With Tyler ignoring her and and irritated me her presence she knew her time was coming to an end. She reached out to Maya hoping her friend could help her for a while, at least until she can afford a place for herself. Maya agreed and asked that she came over after letting Tyler know. Sophia got tired
“You’ve been busy, Tyler,” Mary’s voice came through the phone, smooth but edged with calculation.Tyler paced the length of his study, his hand tightening around the phone. “Get to the point, Mary.”“Such hostility,” she said, feigning innocence. “We’re both smart enough to know this war isn’t ending with Philip. You took my father. You have my brother. But we both know there’s more at play here.”Tyler’s jaw clenched. “What do you want?”“A meeting,” Mary replied, her tone dropping to something sharper. “Tonight. I’ll text you the location. Alone.”“You think I’d trust you?”She laughed softly. “Trust? Don’t insult me. But I think you’ll show up because if you don’t, things might get messy for someone you care about.”Tyler’s eyes narrowed. “Sophia has nothing to do with this.”“Doesn’t she?” Mary’s voice was a loaded question. “See you tonight, Dragon Marshal.”The line went dead.Tyler tossed the phone onto his desk, his chest tight with unease. Gabriel entered the room just as he
Tyler’s fists slammed into the empty factory wall, the force cracking the brick. “Where is she?” he roared, his voice echoing in the silence. His chest heaved as his mind raced. Sophia was gone. The figure had taken her, disappearing in that blinding light.Gabriel’s voice crackled over the comm in Tyler’s pocket. “I’m outside. What’s happening?”Tyler snatched the comm out. “They took her. Sophia’s gone.”A pause. Then Gabriel’s steady voice came through. “We’ll find her. Do you have a lead?”Tyler turned back to the empty room, his jaw tight. “They’re playing games. Whoever it was, they know exactly what she is—and what she means to me.”“Do you think it’s Mary?”“No.” Tyler paced, his eyes scanning the ground. “She doesn’t have the magic to pull something like this off. This is bigger.” His foot hit something metallic. He crouched, picking up a small, engraved coin. The symbol etched into it sent a chill down his spine. “Gabriel, get in here. Now.”Seconds later, Gabriel burst thro
Sophia stepped back, her heart pounding as the figures advanced. Their shapes wavered in the crimson haze, shifting between grotesque forms with limbs too long and faces half-hidden by shadow. Their whispers grew louder, incomprehensible, yet they pressed against her mind like knives.“Stay back!” she shouted, her voice trembling. She glanced around, searching for any sign of an escape, but the terrain offered no refuge. It was an expanse of jagged ground, the sky above swirling in unnatural patterns.The closest figure stopped, tilting its head like a curious predator. “You don’t know, do you?” Its voice was both a hiss and a growl.“Know what?” Sophia forced the words out, her throat dry.Another stepped forward, its clawed hand reaching out. “What you are.”Sophia moved instinctively, raising her arms as if to shield herself. A sharp, electric force exploded from her palms, throwing the figure backward. It shrieked, its form dissolving into mist before the others recoiled.She star
Tyler slammed his fists into the ground, fire erupting around him in a searing circle. The earth groaned under the force, cracks spreading outward like veins. He roared, the sound raw, his frustration drowning out every rational thought. Sophia was gone, dragged away before his eyes, and he’d failed to stop it.Gabriel’s voice crackled over the communicator lodged in Tyler’s earpiece. “Tyler, do you copy? Maya says the portal collapsed. What’s the situation?”“Get me back!” Tyler growled, standing amidst the scorched earth. His flames flickered wildly, uncontrolled. “She’s been taken.”“By who?” Gabriel’s tone sharpened, urgency lacing his words.Tyler took a deep breath, forcing the fire back into submission. He scanned the empty void around him. The towering creature he’d fought moments ago was gone, leaving nothing but a faint residue of dark energy. “I don’t know yet. But I’m going to find out.”“You need to return first,” Maya cut in. “Whatever plane you’re in won’t hold you for
