He was about 6 feet tall, had a straightened face, and had hazel eyes. Long piercing nose, and thin lips. He wore a corporate Plaid suit. his shoes were neatly polished so that one could see their reflection on them. As he came out of the car he felt someone watching him from the first floor, he looked around carefully and found no one and so he went into the mansion only to find the pack witch was already at his house and his mother panting as she ran down from the stairs. She'd look like she had run a marathon. Oh, I did see someone spying on me, he thought.
"Nevan, finally you're here," his mother said, by the look in his eyes, she knew he had questions to ask about why the pack witch was in his house so she explained first.
"I called her here so we could find a way to remove the curse placed on you by the Midnight Dew park. you know, I and your father have been bothered ever since your Beta told us about the curse. Nevan, you're still young and you don't look at all worried. Please let her check your palms. I pray we find a way out of this," she said hopefully.
"I'm fine mom, I don't need this." he protested.
"Don't say that... you're my only son and I will not sit back and watch my son die at an early age. I curse them, all of them who did this to you!" she yelled, almost crying.
Nevan sighed, his mother always knew how to throw tantrums over nothing. He went in front of the woman, opening his hands for her. Even after being cursed, he cared less everyone would die someday, it didn't matter if he died early.
She traced her fingers around the lines on his palm. studying their arrangement before saying,
"The curse they have placed on you is a strong one Nevan, and if you don't get a child before your Thirty-fifth birthday, you have succeeded in clearing your lineage all by yourself.
Nevan rolled his eyes. he knew about the curse which was placed on him Seven years ago. He was going to kill Persia for telling his parents. He was ready to die with the curse, but not before annihilating all the members of their rival packs. He was going to drag them all to hell with him.
And still, he bluntly refuse to find his mate, there was no more time to waste. His mother wanted him to have a child so the alpha's position does not goes to his uncle, Gabs and his sons.
"With the recent alignment of the stars which is to our advantage, I can help you locate your mate if you want it." Nevan's mom moved closer to the witch, nodding her head repeatedly and giving approval in place of Nevan.
"Ok then." she searched the bag with her, bringing out some weird stuff.
A stick with four edges which she had tied together, A black stone, some ropes, and a pouch filled with needles. she brought out more things. Heldin was the pack's witch who'd usually assist them with whatever they needed.
But it was no news amongst them that along with her magic, she studied the forbidden magic that she was about to use on Nevan now. A kind of magic that needed blood to work.
"Give me your palms," she ordered. Nevan stretched them again.
She picked up a few needles, muttering something while stabbing his palm with the needles and leaving them on. He did not flinch.
She scraped the black stone on the lines of his hands and when he did not expect it, she cut his palm with a dagger and it started to bleed. she made sure to pour blood from his bleeding hands into a small cup and then she turned to the old parchment paper which she spread on the table earlier, muttering some curses while pouring drops of blood on the paper, each time she poured blood on the paper, it changed into black smokes which evaporated in no time.
Nevan and his mother's eyes were fixated on the witch's actions. her eyes were slowly changing into grey with a slit in her Iris and she took Nevan's hands in hers.
There was smoke surrounding the both of them and then Nevan found himself in a different place from his surrounding. he saw blurry visions of himself in the middle of nowhere and his eyes wandered around, trying to recall how he appeared here and then he caught sight of a female.
She was young and beautiful, her long red hair cascading down to her waist. She had a slender figure and was about a height of 5.3ft. Her eyes were intriguing and he instantly felt compelled to hold her hand which he did, she was trying to tell him something when he fell to the floor and started dying. his body was suddenly feeling so much pain like his bones were broken and fixed again multiple times.
When she kneeled to check on him, he finally saw her face, it was clear enough and then he felt distant even though he could still feel himself on the floor, till he was back in his world.
Nevan had fallen into a deep slumber and his mother and the witch were beside him, trying to wake him up for the last hour.
He slowly opened his eyes to see the both of them staring at him.
"What did you see?" They both asked at the same time. "Nothing, just know that I'm not doing that shit next time." He got up and left and the both of them continued to stare at him. His mother was disappointed, did this boy want to willingly sacrifice his lineage to those beasts?
Nevan struggled to hold himself from spitting out blood until he got to his room. He slammed the door open and went straight to the sink, spitting out loads of blood.
His body wasn't as strong as it used to so he couldn't handle even the slightest stress.
"Shit, Mom can be so stubborn." He complained. He washed his face quickly and then the blood stains on the sink.
°°°Present day°°°
Elsa was back home. the house was quiet as usual, even though her father and her sister were at home. her father had locked himself in his room while her younger sister was folding some clothes into the wardrobe.
"You're back?" asked Amira to Elsa without bothering to turn to her. She nods slightly.
Her sister was looking distant by the day, it reminded her of the time she was once like this until she eventually accepted the life they were living, understanding the world they were born into. A world where no help comes to the poor.
"Did you manage to get some money?" Amira asked. Elsa shook her head. She did not get the money, but she did get a strange offer...
"You have to help me Elsa." her sister cried. She turned to Elsa and Elsa could see pinch marks around her face and neck. She looked like she had been beaten up.
"D-don't let Father do this to me... please... he was going to take me to those men today. Elsa please, help me." her sister cried.
She tried wiping away the stream of tears from her sister's eyes, but it kept on running.
She'd promised herself daily after her mother's death to take good care of her younger sister and make sure the family doesn't fall apart, but here her father was, wanting to sell one of them just to pay back the debts. He did the same to her some two years back. first of all, he talked her into making a sacrifice that would save the whole family and when she thought he was making sense and listened to him, he almost gave her out to some people and now he was doing the same to his youngest daughter.
"I promise you, sister, I won't let anything happen to you, I will protect you with my life." Elsa consoled, she hugged her sister, patting her back softly.
The next morning wasn't filled with hope just as she had dreamt of the night before where their family was whole again with their mother feeding them with her bare hands. Both girls woke up to find some familiar faces of the loan sharks at their house.
"Edwin..." the man called with amusement while holding Elsa's father up in the air by his collar, "You haven't made a choice yet? I will help you make one today. We have limited time."
"I-I was... I was going to drag my youngest daughter to you yesterday, but we had a big fight." he stuttered shamelessly.
Elsa heard him saying that he wanted to give her sister to them. She wondered what did they both do to this man to deserve this sort of treatment.
"Where is she now?" asked the man.
"They are both asleep in their room."
"Well then, the younger one right?" Edwin nods quickly. Even though he knew it was wrong to give out his children this way, he still felt some relief, he wouldn't be seeing these people for a while.
"Someone gets the younger girl for me...!" the man ordered. One of the men stormed upstairs and Elsa hid between the pillars so he did not see her, her heart was racing loudly and she tried to hold the terror by pressing her hand on her chest. The thug made sure to drag the reluctant girl by her hair until she was downstairs with the rest of them.
"You said you wanted to bring her yourself right? well, there's no need, I am here to take her. Your debt is cleared." he announced. He dumbed Edwin on the floor, throwing some cash at him. Edwin counted it hastily
"20,000?" he asked. The man turned to him with a glare, waiting for the nonsense he had to spill.
"You said along with the debt you'll be giving me 80,000 and this is not even up to half...?"
"You fucker." the man cursed. "Fuckin' ingrate. dare to ask for more? we told you if you'd give us both girls, you'd be getting the 80,000 but where is the other one? Fuckin' old hag who doesn't know if his eldest daughter slept in through the night." he sneered.
Even if he had succeeded in bringing both girls, they would never give the fool 80,000, his daughters were average girls, how the f**k would they give him such an amount?
"Father... Please...! Don't let them take me!!!" Amira cried but her father looked like he had no remorse on his face, her sister promised to save her but she disappeared. She looked around the hallway and found a piece of Elsa's nightdress lurking behind the pillars.
"Elsa!" she yelled.
"You said you'd save me from these people!" the fifteen years old girl yelled at the top of her voice.
Elsa remembered she had promised to save her sister, she did tell her that everything will be alright, but she felt helpless and they would take her sister away if she did not do anything and hide like a coward, just like her father.
"Take her to the Van will you?" the Boss said. They enjoyed hurting the girl, they would all take their turns in her V**gin hole before selling her off along with the other girls they had picked from the streets. the man pulled the young girl by her hair, making her stand on her feet and wince in pain while she struggled with him to free herself.
Elsa made a quick decision. The only way she could save her sister was by sacrificing herself. It had to be so, her sister was younger than her, and she still attended school unlike herself who quit a long time ago.
She jumped out of her hiding spot, "Don't take my sister away!" she yelled. It caused an outburst of laughter amongst the men. That greedy fool both girls called their father already accepted Money, was she going to beg for her sister's safety? Not a chance.
The Boss among them lifted his hand and the laughing seized. He reduced his voice, "And what do we get if we don't take her away? Our full payment? or your father's life?" he asked.
She was quiet for a while. Sweat ran from her face, rushing down to her neckline. She was going to make the biggest decision of her life which was probably the biggest mistake she could make in her entire life.
"Me. You'll get me. Let my sister go and I will follow you willingly." She looked from her father back to the man.
"Hawk, free the girl." the man ordered and Hawk, who was holding Amira by her hair let her go. She ran away from them, keeping a safe distance.
"Not that you're so special, since you want to go willingly, then..." When Elsa's father tried to come forward with a pitiful face, she gave him a spiteful look.
"You got the money, Edwin." She addressed her father by his name. She had lost all the respect she had for him ever since he decided it was right to sell his daughters to save himself. "You are not allowed to sell Amira off to anyone, you hear?" she said, her words were more like threatening to him.
He looked away in shame. Elsa's sister rushed to her, hugging her tightly. Now she did not doubt the love her sister had for her.
The gang leader threw another 10,000 on Edwin. "Take care of the younger one. it's not easy to make sacrifices." he jeered.
"If you're still in need of more money, hit us up... we would be borrowing you with an interesting discount old man, you're our customer now." The others accompanied him with a laugh. He still had his eyes on the younger one too but for now, they could make do of this one.
"Take her with you." One of the men separated the sisters, pulling Elsa by her arm outside the house to their van.
