Sanctum, his salvation

Isabelle reimagined her whole saga with the Pegasus. Was she crazy? Or was something seriously twisted going on. It was late and she wasn't at her suitor's house yet. She suspected they would have found out her little escapade. Of course! It was twelve midnight and she had missed dinner. She was definitely in trouble. Her mother would freak out believing she ran away. The whole thought brought a smile to her face. At last, she got to the doorsteps of Frederick's mansion. The front door was surprisingly opened. Like a foolish character from every movie ever made, she crept in walking on her toes. They were there. Her mother and Frederick."Where did you go?" Frederick demanded. Who the hell was he to monitor her movement? Isabelle fumed. Her mother's concern was heard of but hi

He's a cassanova. Isabelle declared in her heart. The way he stole looks at every given opportunity, the way he smiled each time she caught him staring. There was this feeling of deja Vu though. She had only met the man today but felt as if they had known each other for a long time.Lucas' mind pondered over the witch's last word before he had killed her. He had always wanted to get rid of the curse. Although selfishly before but now, he had a purpose. He wanted to see his family. He wanted to help them get over their loss. The way she smiled when she caught him staring informed him of her naivety. It really pained him that a young and pleasant lady like Isabelle would have to take the fall though. He had a target but he could not just shoot. He had to play it cool and snow.

The food was ready. Isabelle watched hopelessly as the maid did all the work. She wondered what Frederick needed a wife for. He had slaves to fulfill his sexual cravings and servants to do his chores. It was indeed a wonder he wanted her as his lawfully wedded wife."Am I the first?" Isabelle asked the maid that never talked. It was the same girl that helped her when she first arrived. The lady stopped what she was doing but quickly continued without saying a word.Her silence had been a constant part of Isabelle's life now. It was like they could communicate psychically or maybe she was just good in reading expression. She knew the woman would not dare say a bad word against her master. Isabelle al

"I always thought I was crazy. I never believed you were actually there but-but how?" Isabelle tried to mouth ignoring the other million questions she wanted to ask. She turned to Lucas when he still remained oddly quiet. Lucas messed with his fingers to cope with the awkward encounter. How was he going to explain everything to her? He couldn't do that, it would ruin all his plans on becoming human but he also knew Isabelle wasn't dumb enough to believe some cock and bull story he planned to make especially when he had already told her a little of his story. Isabelle remembered when Lucas had revealed in the forest that he had met with a witch who ruined his life. Was this what he meant by 'ruin'? "It began three years ago. I met Eleanor who usually worked in our estate. She w

Lucas broke the kiss, his eyes looking glassy. He did not know how or how not to feel after he had done it. Isabelle on the other hand, looked like a recently adopted puppy. She had a smile on her face and she looked at him like she adored him making him feel even worse. Something was odd though. When Eleanor had given him the power-house, he had transformed to a Pegasus immediately and Isabelle, well Isabelle is was still human. He got out the water unable to remain there with her. Slipping back his shoes, he looked back at Isabelle to see if anything had changed. She was still swimming in the water like a delicate porcelain doll, a look of satisfaction on her face as she met his gaze."I'm leaving." He muttered in a low monotone.
