Lucia PoV
I thought back to the night, a dare from one of my friends at the time to dress up and sneak into the hospitals masquerade ball, even if I wasn´t a big fan of it, I was a thrill seeker at the time, so I did as they suggested dressed up and sneaked inside.
It was lavish and extravagant and in those settings it wasn´t hard to imagine you belonged in a world such as that.
I drank and had a party, they didn´t seem to mind I was only 17 at the time, but then again why would they it was a party for grownups and I wasn´t even adult at the time, but everyone treated me as such.
I was having a blast, that was until all those different males started to get close to me, and wouldn´t take no for an answer, suddenly I had felt trapped, with no way out.
That was until I saw him gliding through the masses whoever he was he exuded power, I could see a pair of dark brown eyes shining behind the mask, his strong jaw and full lips, his hair was a rich brown color. His way of coming in took my breath away, he kissed me and pretty much claimed me in front of everyone, even though I was innocent he could have done anything to me at that time, but when he led me through the mansion I vaguely wondered if the owner knew strangers walked around everywhere, when he opened the door into a massive bedroom.
When I woke up I felt sore and dizzy, I faintly remembered the feeling of him inside me, it had felt incredible even if it had felt a bit uncomfortable almost as if he couldn´t slide out but I was beyond satisfied as well as exhausted so I slipped into sleep in his arms, with him still inside me. when I woke up I looked around after him, he was gone, I was confused I really thought we had a connection, if I hadn´t been so exhausted earlier I would have removed my mask. That’s when my phone rang, I answered it.
“Luce? You have to come Dany is in the hospital he was in a car accident, he collided with some kind of big wolf. And is now unconscious.” My friend Kira said
“Are you kidding me? why didn´t you call me before? Is it serious? Is he okay?” I asked.
“It’s too early to tell but I think I need you to come. San Diego Memorial intensive care unit, room 5” she said as she hung up.
Kira and Dany was my oldest friends they had taken me in when I was 12 and I didn´t remembered anything other than my name, and other basic skills, since I had no idea who I was and nobody searched for me, they filed for positions of guardians, and now I was 17 and Kira was 24 now and Dany 25, and since I had gotten older I had seen them more as my friends than anything else.
They had been generous and helpful, and I had just graduated high school as valedictorian of my class, and now this I was about to go to of two Oxford college on a full sponsorship.
when I reached the hospital, I was enveloped in a pair of arms, as Kira cried “he… he is awake and want to talk to you…” she sobbed.
I just nodded and stepped inside, I bit the inside of my cheek to keep myself in check, he was so beat up it hurt. He smirked at me.
“Something about you has changed (I couldn´t help but blush) but listen to me Kira and I have agreed we have an account in your name, that will settle you for life, so you don’t have to struggle to live, but you will still have to provide for yourself. It´s important you know, we love you and will always do so, we are too close in age to consider you our daughter, but we do anyway. Just take care of yourself. I love you.” He said before he closed his eyes, and the equipment suddenly went bonkers and there were so many people in the room. Yes, Dany has ventured into the stock market for about 5 years, and he had broken the code. To say he had done well was an understatement, and he had started to show me the ropes.
However the constant beep made me tear up. I walk outside to find Kira devastated I put my arms around her, it was obvious she loved him very much, but he was gone.
The days that followed was spent on planning his funeral but what I couldn´t fathom was why almost everything was in pairs. Looking at Kira she looked like a shell of herself, when we had buried Dany, I woke up the next day and made breakfast to cheer her up, and went in to wake her up, when I froze.
she did not breathe either, I called 911 but when they came they concluded they couldn´t save her, and I felt myself spiralling out of control my support was gone except honey I had nothing, which wasn´t worth much, now the whole funeral for two made sense.
I could not bear staying here so I packed everything I thought I would need a set off to Oxford I just needed to get away from everything. A week after her funeral, I had sold all the furniture I didn´t wanted to bring wit me.
When I packed the bedroom I found a letter which was addressed to me.
Dear Lucia
I really don’t hope you find this but if you do I am so sorry we has been separated.
you should know what has happened has nothing to do with you,
it´s just unbearable to live on without your soulmate, even if I now it will hurt you.
We have no doubt you will do great in life, and make us proud.
I hope one day you will be lucky enough to meet one as special to you, as I and Dany was to each other, know if you do, do not ever let that feeling go.
Because you will only ever experience such a love once in a lifetime. (suddenly I saw my masked man for my eyes.)
We both feel blessed to have known you and we will take our love with us to the great mother,
She knows what to do and will always listen.
we has no idea what led you to us six years ago, but we are sure its something tragic,
keep looking, and should you want to explore further into your roots, try to contact
Darien and Serena it´s their number on the bottom, maybe they can help,
as both of the poses special powers.
Love
Yours truly Kira
