She adhered between them, she tried to free herself again, but of no use, now she was furious at those young men,
"leave... me..." she cried out,
But they smiled crookedly and said,
" you have no choice, let us settle it down"
Her grandma and all the other family stood behind her, no one dared to stir with those forceful beasts.
An old man came near and grunted in a forceful voice,
"You know the rules, don't you?" he said,
They both set aside, Myra was startled by seeing the old man, he looked very fearful, she shivered, and cold sweats started flowing from her body, she went back to her grandma,
that old man continued,
" Now that the goddess is revealed, you have to follow the rules, everybody has a chance"
They smiled again, and one of them said,
" They... have a chance!!" it was sardonic, looking down on everyone there,
The other one said,
" count yourself in"
They both clamped their horns again, and that old man separated them,
"any further dispute and I'll boycott the whole clan,"
They pulled themselves back.
The whole thing was like a nightmare for Myra, and she was tired of being shocked...
both of them looked at her as prey,
"wait for me, darling,"
"wait for me, darling,"
two different voices but the matter was the same, the lust was the same, the way they looked at her was like craving for her,
even though she was dressed, she felt denuded in their eyes...
Myra felt disgusted, but the things waiting for her were far more horrendous than she imagined.....
Can she sleep tonight? read more to know...
Myra was tired, and those bangs were horrible. She felt dizzy and finally, she fell unconscious. Her grandma was anxious and asked her servant to take her to rest.
She came forward,
"The ceremony is completed, so I request all of you to return, without causing any more trouble,"
Everyone started making noise, grunting howling, roaring, screeching, all those irritating sounds coming from one place. After a while, it was silent, they all left and the mansion was peaceful again.
Myra was still unconscious, she was in a deep sleep,
In her dreams, she saw two huge harpies approaching her, coming near, nearer, pulling her and making a whizz, but she screamed and put her hands on her lips and opened her eyes, she was on her bed and there was no one around, she took a long breath,
"hoo...not again, so that was a dream, but what kind of steamy dream was that....and who were they, it felt real"
she moved her hands toward her neck, there was a chain, she whacked with shock,
"What, so it was not completely a dream, it was real, but what was that? not a wedding, not a birthday then what was that?"
she crawled down from her bed and stood up before the long mirror to see an old chain wrapped around her neck, but it was different from what she saw yesterday, it is attached to a pendant, a bright red stone, she touched it and it twinkled,
"What kind of magic is this?",
Then, the words of her grandma echoed in her ears,
"She is the Goddess of the red stone, ....goddess, ...sounds great, but why do I feel fear instead of happiness, I need to ask"
She rushed to her grandma's room curiously, to ask her about the dramatic ceremony held yesterday, but unknowingly heard her cousin sisters chatting with each other.
"I envy her, I don't know about the others but those two men who came up for her were handsome, oohhh.....so manly, I would die to have them"
"ya I agree..!!"
"Shut up girls, I heard from mom that, it is not simple, that red stone is not a boon, it's a curse...!!"
" what..!!"
"What...?, what else do you know?"
Myra heard their conversation and her curiosity hit the pinnacle, she didn't interrupt them but was silently listening to what they were murmuring,
"Mom told me to keep it a secret,"
"hey there shouldn't be a secret among sisters," said one of them,
"That curse was given to one of our ancestors, she fell in love with a..."
a sighing sound from the door came and they all kept silent,
" what the hell are you doing here, Myra"
Sarah was standing behind Myra, staring at her,
"I was just passing by,"
Myra said passing by her side to go down to her grandma's room, she was never on good terms with her sisters.
Her mind was fussing off,
" What curse, am I cursed? uhh... those bitches, aah... I wanna kill them all, can't they finish their talk..."
she went to her grandma's room and knocked, her grandma was expecting her, so before she could call out for her she said,
"I know you'll be here, but I'll explain everything when you are calm, now go back to your room, and calm down"
Myra was desperate,
"no, I want my answers now...right now...!!"
Her grandma opened the door and took her in, she dragged Myra to a secret door inside her room,
no one ever entered her grandma's room, except Mrs Gudino, it was a huge door with so many things on it, some Scriptures in different languages were written on it, Myra tried to understand, or at least read the words but that language, bounced from her head before it could enter, her grandma held her hand to a stone on the door,
The door started emitting light, a bright white light, it didn't open, but Myra was dragged in alone,
"grandma...!! Are you there, grandma...!!"
but no response, no sound at all, silence eroded her will.
It was a dark place, with no lights inside, she went in shivering to see if anyone was around,
"Is anyone here?...grandma...!!"
she walked forward,
"Hello, Myra..."
Myra was appalled to hear a deep, bold voice calling her name,
"Who..? who's that?"
"Don't fear my child, I can't harm you," someone moving towards her from the dark said,
"Who are you? and why am I here?" Myra asked in a shivering tone,
A candle was lit and a gorgeous lady in her middle age appeared in a white cloudy dress, her allure was far from any other lady, Myra had ever seen,
"Are you the moon goddess?" she asked hesitatingly,
ha... ha... ha... that woman laughed loudly, and that was terrifying, Myra's heart was whacking out, that lady came near her,
"do I look like a goddess to you? that's funny, I am more like a witch,"
Myra was glaring at her surprisingly, twinkling her beautiful blue eyes,
"those eyes of yours, I love them,"
she came near her again and said,
"you are here, that means you are the chosen one, ash... that chain, that's mine, it's good on you"
she touched the chain on Myra's neck and moved her hand along her neckline to her chest and her waist,
" you are beautiful, indeed my descendant,"
Myra felt uncomfortable and puzzled,
"Please tell me, who are you? and what is all this?"
she cackled again,
" I am your great great great grandmother, and you are my descendant, my heritor,"
Myra's curiosity was killing her to know more,
"So you were the one to have this curse for the first time?"
She was furious to hear that,
"that is not a curse...!!, mind your words kiddo, " she yelled furiously,
Myra was frightened,
