Fate's Play

Wings

Felix P.O.V.

          "Merida!!" I heard myself screamed outside the door of 'Blossom'. An elderly lady came rushing outside. "Why are screaming here?? Don't cause a nuisance in front of my store," she said agitatedly. "Where is Merida?" I asked her again. "Who is Merida?" She squinted her eyes at me. "Ma'am, is Quinn Merida Luke, the girl who you have hired to work as a part-timer in your shop? Is she here?" I questioned her as I was slowly losing my patience. "No, I haven't met anyone named as such! She, as a part-timer? I only have someone named Ashley..." she trailed off. "Can I see her now?" I said and didn't wait for her response. I barged inside the store and found a dark-haired girl behind the counter. 

            She looked surprised to see me and I was too shocked to see her there. "Nina?" "Felix?" she blushed as we said at the same time. Not wanting to waste any more time, I asked her directly "Have you seen Merida?" She looked puzzled. "Whose Merida?" Ah God. We go through this shit again!! "Your best friend, red-haired girl? Still didn't get me?" She started pondering but with a sad smile, she said, "It would have been great to have a best friend but no. I don't know anyone named Merida" Great good Lord Jesus! What the freaking hell is happening around in here. Does no one remember her? "Gosh, off you go now. I don't want you to waste our time" the old lady pestered me until I left their store.

             I want to know who's the reason behind this. Is erasing Merida from everyone's memory a solution? Then to what? She didn't cause any ruckus, right? Maybe she rushed to her friends? But that doesn't explain those people, who forgot about her! Taking no chances unused, I left the place immediately. Hurriedly going to her house again to collect some details of her friends, I was surprised to see someone else in her room. It wasn't her room exactly, the walls were filled with rock bands and guitar. It was of gothic style. Ugh, what the heck is happening now? I stayed silently behind the curtains and saw a blonde guy walking in my direction. He swished past me and took the snacks which laid on his table and walked out after picking his headphones.

            I was too shocked but it wasn't out of his movements but out of his face. He looked too similar. His physique was almost the same. After silently closing the door, I went through his belongings and absolutely found nothing. My bad. Why did I raise my hope? It was as if she never existed. Then what about my memories? Why hasn't it tampered with as well? Is it because of immortality? So why did that blonde guy try to kill me? Who is he working for? After searching his room for the nth time, I gave up. 

Quinn's P.O.V.

            "Sshh! She's gonna wake up. I don't want our highness to get livid when she comes to know that we have disturbed her peaceful sleep" "Yeah, to be honest, I thought your dad would be her successor but it turns out to be like this" What are they talking about? Where am I? I opened my eyes to see two ladies, one was arranging the shelf and another, cleaning the floor. I was lying flat on my stomach on a big plush bed. You had to see the room, it was all victorian styled. Trying to move my body, I shifted to the side. My body felt so numb but at the farthest end, I could hear some rustling sound. "She's awake" the voice alarmed the other. Being frightened, I accidentally made eye contact with the one who was sweeping. 

               She immediately pulled the other and ran out of the room. Wait, what? Are they scared of me? What did I do? In fact, I should be the frightened one here. The room was eerily silent to my liking. I sat up with difficulty but I could sense something was off with me. Thinking hard, I stood up with the help of the bed rest. I know it now. I couldn't feel my body. Why? What had happened earlier? I was up with my mother, Hecate and then she did something to make me fall asleep... Shit, crap! My parents, Felix, Jeremy! How long am I here? My parents would have been worried sick of me! I just left the hospital too, Felix would have been terrified of my missing self. Jesus! As my mind ran over all my worries, it forgot to identify the person standing next to me.

               "Are you done chanting?" Falling to the bed, I clutched my heart and asked him, "Who the hell are you?" "Timid aren't you? Earth has terribly changed your behaviour" He smirked. "Answer me!" I questioned and stood up properly but that rustling sound was heard again. His smile was wiped out of his face as he said, "Mind your tone with me, kitten" I scoffed. I usually don't respond to these wild psychotic comments but I couldn't comprehend why I wasn't able to withhold my anger. How dare he call me a kitten! I felt my power surge flow within me. "Don't you dare call me a kitten!" I yelled in frustration. This made him tick. "I can't help it now," He said as he produced a blade out of nowhere and went straight for my head. 

                 But it didn't cut me nor did it touch me. Holy heavens! My hand started making its way in front of me and the power surge blocked his attack. "Enough!" said the melodic voice. His blade vanished within seconds and I shifted my attention to my new 'old' mother. "Mateo, I want you to stay out" she said and made her way to me. I shuddered at the thought of being lonely with Hecate but are they done sweeping? Why would anyone want to sweep for so long? Unless they want to eavesdrop on us. "How are you?" She asked me and caressed my hair. Automatically, I leaned into her warm hand. But why was I doing it? No, I didn't have the answer for that. I nodded my head in silence. 

                  "That's good! I thought that kid was going to behead you but I'm happy that you are stronger than him" I smiled as a response. "I want you to talk, baby" She smiled but her voice ringed in my ears. "How are you feeling now?" "Yeah I'm good but I feel numb" I said. I was constantly hearing that rustling sound. Turning back, I found nothing but the plush violet wall with gold and silver curtains. "What's troubling you, my dear?" I rushed out without thinking twice. "It's just that, someone is eavesdropping on us. I mean why would anyone sweep for so long? I get irritated because of this noise!" I poured out. "She smiled gently and said, "I don't hear anything like that Gra- sorry, Merida. Perhaps, it the wind I presume" Wind? Is she joking? Or am I hallucinating?

                    "Oh, now I get it!" She laughed. I was confused, why would anyone laugh at this statement? Did she hear my thoughts? Would she be able to? Oh Heavenly God, it shouldn't be. Without saying anything, she took me to the mirror. I was way too shocked. How could I look like this. I was a walking dead person, Zombie perhaps. My eyes looked sullen and hideous as my skin looked so pale. It was as if I could break from snapping my own fingers. But how could I stand still? Is it because of my powers and magic? Who knows? Thank God, I'm alright. The better I look, the faster I can escape from this odious place. But why did she bring me to the mirror? God knows. "How long am I here?" I asked her. "For two days? I think so s-" 

                     "Time works differently here, am I right?" I asked her. "You are right!" Crap! This is all crazy. "Can I go back home? I'm worried sick of my parents" She scrunched her face. "Are you serious? How will you go back to them at this condition?" "Just a teeny bit of make-over would be sufficient" I said and turned to her. It again resulted in the rustling noise. What's with this thing?! "I am talking about that" she pointed towards my back. What's there? And that was when I saw it. My jaw dropped the second my eyes took it all in. I'm too dumb. This explains the rustling noise. It was as long as my height and a huge one too.  Maybe, this was the reason why those two ladies got frightened. Why didn't I notice this huge thing? How would I go back now? 

                    The magnificent white wings on my back shimmered in the sunlight. How would I manage to hide this?
