Chapter Twenty Four

SHAEL

I was going down stairs with Nance. The hall was beautifully decorated with white and pink flowers and light pink and white curtains. ' It's looking like a royal wedding is going to happen. I haven't worn such a dress in my lifetime. Guru is not here. This all is making me solicitous. Everyone is strange to me. ' I thought of getting out of here. Nance was in a light pink gown. She is looking adorable today. She always looks but today a bit more.
" Thank God, Nobody noticed me. " I murmured.
" Shael, You want something. Can I bring you any drink and eatable food? " Nance asked.
" Guru. " I snapped. I wanted my husband around me when I was surrounded with strange wizard people.
" Did I hear you wrong? " She perplexed.
" No, you didn't. I'm feeling alone. I can coordinate with my water and eat. Please, do me a favor. When my hubby is away. It'd be great If you can be my genuine friend, try to pretend in such a particular time, if you don't like to be my friend. " I stated.
" Sure. I'll be glad. " She genuinely smiled.
" Thank God, She understands. " I whispered.
" Here is my daughter-in-law. " I heard Guru's father say this to someone.
I managed a fake on my face.
He introduced me to his people, " Here, meet my best friend, Matt. " he said.
It was his back on my side and he turned to face me.
" Hi, Matthew Parker, Janney's father. " he said.
I took his hand, but why was I feeling, ' I've seen him before. '
" Are you alright? " Guru's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.
" She's with her family, what could happen to her? " his father asked him.
" Excuse us please. " Guru asked.
" Hello, Guru. How are you, son? " Matt asked.
Guru shook his hand, " Fine, I thought, you'd dislike me, for not getting married to your daughter. " His words stunned me.
" No, you're wrong, son. I'll never do that. You are always a kind and generous person for me. You are my favorite." he replied with a smile.
" Thanks. " Guru smiled and nodded at him. He took my hand and made our way away from all of them. He took a deep breath and felt relaxed away from that troop.
" You ok? " he asked me.
" Yes, not used to such parties and such environments. Well, I'm fine. " I assured him.
His phone rang and he answered it.
" Nyle needs my help, I need to go, Nance will company you. " Guru said.
" Ok. " I simpered to hide my discomfort and awkwardness.
He placed a kiss on my forehead," I'll be back soon, ok. " he said.
" OK. " I shook my head.

I didn't know why I was getting negative vibes today. Maybe, I had a nightmare. It was horrible. I didn't wanna recall it. I found a corner in this beautiful hall and took a seat.
" Shael, Janney needs my help. you have to be on your own for some time. " Nance said.
" No, I'll wait outside, but I'm not being alone here. " I retorted.
" Are you sure? I don't want Guru to scold me. " She diffidently said.
" I wanna get out of this hall. I'm one hundred percent sure and I'll talk to Guru, you don't worry. " I replied.
" Ok. " She said.
Nance opened the door of her room. She was lonely in her room.
" I didn't expect you. Pleasure to see you. " Janney showed her smile with her ego.
" I didn't expect it from me either, just circumstances. " I snapped. I was glad. I found my voice in front of her and didn't panic.
She removed her dress and gave it to Nance, " I have only sixty minutes to start the ceremony. It's tight, I'm not fitting in it. Get it to the designer and ask her to lose it just two inches. Do you get it? " she asked Nance.
" Yeah! Whatever." Nance rolled her eyes and went with her dress.
I didn't see this side of Nance. She wrapped a white towel around her body. When was the last time I saw her. Her hair was blonde. It was raven black today.
" We never got an opportunity to introduce ourselves to each other, " Janney smiled.
" Why are you faking out to be nice to me? " I asked suspiciously.
" Why don't we forget the past? After all, we have to share the same roof for the whole damn life. " she continued with her smile.
" Maybe. " I said.
" Maybe, han? " she scrunched her nose.
" Hello, Janney. " someone interrupted. My heart skipped a beat. I do know this voice.
" Hey, Sammie. " Janney smirked and sauntered past me. She hugged her.
" Meet my new family's member. " Janney said, breaking the hug from Sammie.
" We don't need an introduction. I know her very well. " She was showing her smile, but I felt poison in her voice.
" Is that so? Where is your fiance? " Janney asked.
" Fiance? But she's married. " I shockingly whispered.
" My fiance, yes, wait. " she said with a mischief smile.
I was feeling weird and agitated. It was suffocating me. I stepped toward the door out of the room.
" Here, Baby, meet my cousin Janney. " She spoke out loud.
My eyes we're on the door. I staggered and held the desk for support.
" Hello, ladies. " He gave his best smile.
Janney gave him a side hug. Definitely, he and Sammie are up to something dangerous. I had to get out of here. I moved fast toward the door of the room, using my long strides. I felt a hand on my wrist.
" In a hurry, jaan? " Jaz smirked.
Sammie slapped him on his back, " Don't tease him, darling. " She said.
" Don't tease her, Don't you know her husband? " Janney mocked.
He let go my hand, " I'm just rethinking the memories." he said, eyeing me.
I was bemused. Sammie and Janney are cousins. When on earth did this happen? I shook it away and got my tongue, " We don't have a single memory." I snapped.
" O really, jaan. " he sneered.
I walked toward the door, " Not, so hurry Shael. You will undoubtedly love our new memories. " Sammie said, stopping me.
She raised her hand, near to my mouth. There was spray in her hands, It was black spray bottle. She sprayed it on me. I coughed, because of its particles, that I inhaled in by the breathing.
" What's wrong with you. " I said, but I felt my body heavier than usual. I couldn't properly see, I couldn't balance myself. I blinked many times and tried to hold something, but nothing could help. My eyes shut and it felt like falling from a building.
. . . .
Hubbub pulled me out of my darkness. Still, I couldn't open my eyes. Someone patted me on my cheeks, " Wake up, jaan. " I had listened to him before, I was pressuring my mind. I quickly recognized it and jerked his hand away from me.
" Jaz. " I jolted and jerkily opened my eyes to confirm it.
" O baby got scared. " Sammie said and smirked evilly.
" She's the reason I couldn't get married to Guru. I don't understand, Why his father thinks, I'll marry that stupid, thick-skulled crap. That Nyle, kiddo. " She frowned and moved her hands in dramatic ways.
" Shut up. " I am annoyed.
I was feeling several pain in my head, I touched my forehead. It got wet, so I brought my hand before my eyes. There was blood on it.
" Look! Baby got angry. " Janney mocked.
" We can't touch her. " Sammie said to Janney.
" Last time, Guru saved her. She is so far from him and he can't find her. I wanna burn the whole land with her. I haven't my wand, all mess because of her. So it's your turn, Sammie. " She told them, giving her an evil smirk.
" You're a wizard. " I asked her, hiding my surprise.
" Yes, love. I'm a wizard, you are more darling to my family than me. I hate you, you know this. " she poisoned.
" I'm fine with it, if you hate me. But you're hurting yourself. Look at yourself, what this hatred has done to you. " I said.
They laughed, " She is going to die thus she has lost her mind. " Janney smirked.
Jaz had confused me most. This man claimed to love me. Here he is, in front of me sitting and mocking over my death planning. There wasn't a fleck of remorse on his face. I never could understand and appreciate such people, who pretended to love you and cheated on you and planned your death. At least Guru didn't claim anything false for me.
" There is one secret about me, you need to know. " Jaz said.
I didn't say a word to him nor glance at him
" I genuinely want you to know it,before you leave this world. " he said.
" Any last wish. " Sammie asked.
" Hm, don't burn the plants and trees, You people hate me, it's not there's fault. " I said.
" You missed the chance, I thought you'll ask me to kiss you. You're an unlucky girl. " he made fun of me.
" My husband's kisses are enough. " I snapped.
There was wrath on there's evil faces.
" You bitch. " He clenched his jaw. He ran at his full speed away from me. In a blank, he was thirty feet away from me. " Is he a wizard too? " I asked.
" See it yourself. I can hear you from this distance, jaan. " he screamed from distance. He ran again at me, with full speed. He jumped and converted himself into a big dog. I took a heavy breath. " How? " I was astounded.
" He's born a werewolf, love. " Sammie told me.
" Finished this piece of shit. " Janney boiled with fury.
In a blink, Sammie bewitched and I was surrounded with fire. They walked away and left me to burn in this fire. This wasn't worse than a room's fire. Suddenly I heard a thunderstorm and it was dark clouds overcasted the sky above me. It began to rain heavily. It annihilated the fires. I was tired because of the spray, I could still smell it on me. Water could not wash it away. I wanted to sleep and I laid on the ground. I was wet and wounded, I just wanted some rest, I closed my eyes and let peace overcome me
