Under Her Shadow – Episode 27

#Sardonyx’ POV

My vision was blur and and my brain nutty. The phone broke at impact so you can imagine the pain I was going through because my soft head broke a phone. Elroy and Giulia ran to me, he knelt beside me while she stood beside Alexa panicking. If I wasn’t so daze, I would have drooled over his amazing scent

I gasped when he touched my hand, the cold sensation that ran down my veins was like nothing I’ve ever felt before. It was new, strange, strong, pure and fascinating. Like divine electricity or something even better. The way he removed his hand made me realize that he felt it too. He stared at his hand shockingly wondering what that was just like me

He touched my cheek slowly like he was scared and there it was again. He removed his hand and smiled at it before touching my forehead and cheek again, like he was enjoying the weird sensation and couldn’t stop touching me. He looked at Giulia who was crying and rolled his eyes. He averted his amazingly piercing green eyes to me and snapped his fingers

It sounded like a thousand church bell in my head. I howled out in pain holding my head, tears ran down my cheeks as it felt like my head was about to explode.

I passed out due to the pain

#Elroy ‘s POV

‘Give me that phone Giuly’ I ordered

‘Make me’ she said defiantly. I rushed to her but she sprinted away knocking down the chairs so I won’t catch up but it was useless. I got to her and snatched the phone. I know Raven video those stupid things and sent it to her, living with a teammate who is madly in love with your older sister is hard

I flung the phone to the door aggressively but it opened and hit a girl on the forehead. I ran to the girl and knelt beside her. She didn’t look okay at all; she was dazed

‘Miss are you okay? I’m so sorry’ Giulia said panickingly. So like her to panic over little issue. I touched her hand and gasped removing it immediately. What was that? I slowly touched her cheek and there it was again. I removed my hand and smiled at it mouthing a ‘wow’ I touched her bleeding forehead and her cheek again, loving the feel of her skin and the fascinating sensation

‘I knew it! We have killed her! I knew that one day I will die shamefully because of you. This is terrible. Dad will disown me, I’ll lose my fans’ she cried, tears running down her cheeks like a waterfall. I rolled my eyes at her and averted it back to the lady before me

‘Can you hear me Miss?’ I asked tenderly snapping my fingers, wrong move. She howled in pain and started crying. ‘What’s wrong?’ Her eyes rolled into her head and she fainted

‘Oh my God!’ Giulia exclaimed and fainted too. Mom who was at the door chuckled, she seemed so relax about everything like usual.

‘Raven please carry her. Miss is there a back entrance here? Somewhere we can pass through without being seen?’ She asked the other girl

‘Yes. The celebrity exit’ she replied shakily pointing to a hallway

‘Okay let’s go. Elroy carry her’ she ordered. I can treat her because I studied medicine for six years before I ran away

What? Medicine is hard

‘Bring her bag’ Bella said to the girl.

#Gypsy ‘s mansion

‘She’ll be fine. Just need enough rest’ I said glancingly. What was I glancing at? Her ringing phone

Idris! Idris! Idris! Idris and a hundred more Idris!

Who the f**k is that guy?

‘You see what you did? If you have just agreed to make my hair, this wouldn’t have happened’ Lia huffed. I rolled my eyes ignoring her. I can’t talk back too much at her because according to mom she’s my older sister.

Being the last child after four girls sucks

‘We are going to be late for the party. Giulio will never forgive me if I don’t come’ mom said tiredly. ‘Raven we need to go, you too Giulia’

‘I’ll stay back mom’ I said calmly. She nodded understandingly and walked out. Raven patted my back and dragged Lia out. I sighed heavily and sat at the edge of the bed close to her

She was beautiful!

She slept peacefully like a little angel, her hair sprawled on the bed and some covering her face. Her feature was delicate and unique, really unique. My heart palpitated and as strange at it may sound, a love song was playing in my head and heart

Her phone rang again ruining my beautiful moment

Idris again!

I picked the call feeling my stomach churn at the fact that it was a male.

‘What the f**k Izzy! I’ve been waiting at the hotel for six hours now, where the f****ng hell are you?!’ The furious voice yelled. My heart sank into my stomach at the word ‘hotel’ it was a simple realization. She was a slut. ‘Sardonyx!!!’

‘She’s unconscious’ I tried to sound calm but my voice croaked, like I wanted to cry. I was in shock at my strange behavior

‘What do you mean by she’s unconscious? Who is this?’

‘I’m the guy that helped her out. She had a little accident at the salon but she’s okay now’

‘Where are you? I need to come see her’ maybe it’s her boyfriend.

‘What happened?’ Another deeper voice asked worriedly.

‘San had a little accident. I’m talking to the guy that helped her’

‘Is she okay?’ A female voice asked anxiously

‘Like you care’ Idris scoffed.

‘Idris she’s my daughter not yours, I’m still her mother’

‘So you still think you can claim that, shut up before I break your head’ Idris snarled. I cleared my throat. ‘I’m sorry. Where are you?’

‘First of all, who are you to her?’ I asked curiously, hoping he’d say something else

‘I’m her older brother’ he replied calmly. I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding and smiled.

‘I can’t tell you where I am because of my identity but I’ll let you know when she wakes up. Please understand’

‘Okay. Thank you’ he hung up and I almost screamed with jubilation. I’m nuts.

She tossed to her side groaning. She tossed again and sniffed the air. Her eyes opened sharply, wrong move

‘Aaaaah’

‘Relax. Hey relax’ I whispered touching her forehead. She calmed down and closed her eyes while I enjoyed that feeling again. After five minutes, she opened them again and touched my hand

‘Whoa’ she murmured. Her big gray eyes were extremely lovely. She turned and face me ‘hi’. I leaned closer to her face and moved her loose hair out of her face. She smiled

‘Hi’ I smiled back. ‘How do you feel?’

‘Like a building was dropped on my head’ she said humorously. I laughed and unconsciously kissed her bandaged head. ‘You are nice’ she whispered

‘I know. Am I the only one who’s feeling weird out by our strange connection?’ I asked laughing nervously

‘Are you a werewolf? Are we mates?’ She asked with bulging eyes. I laughed at her logic sitting up straight. ‘No don’t go’ she said with a small voice

‘I’m not going anywhere’ I smiled taking off my slippers. I got into the bed and laid beside her. She turned around to face me with a smile

‘Is my brain scrambled? Are you a werewolf? Are we mates?’

‘No, no and I don’t know’ I replied honestly. She giggled

‘I know’ she whispered. We stayed there in silence for a long time just staring at each other. It was the strangest thing I’ve ever done but also the coolest

We spoke no words but we understood what we wanted to say. The silent speech is what I’ll call it. The rhythm of my heart was off the hook and the song playing in my head was unique. She touched my cheek smilingly

‘You are cute’

‘You are adorable’ I replied back. I leaned closer and kissed her nose. ‘Are you hungry?’

‘Yes. Can I get something to eat?’ She asked shyly. I sat up

‘What will you like to eat?’

‘Anything’ she smiled. I stretched my hand to the night table hovering over her in the process. I pressed the intercom.

‘Please bring something for my guest to eat’

‘Okay sir’

Weirdest moment of my entire life

‘I’ll be back’ I told her calmly and ran out of the room to my room since she was in my third eldest sister’s. I went to my keyboard to write a song about how cool and strange today was
