THALIA
“Come on, please,” begs Freya, “We have to go out; it is our last night before we move once again.”
I sighed and looked out of the window, “Okay, we will go out, but can we make it to one club tonight? We have to leave early. We didn’t know how far they were behind us. We both don’t want to go back. They will make us...” I say, but she cuts me off.
“No, they won’t make us do anything,” she says as she places her hand on my shoulder, making me turn around to face her. As soon as I see her eyes, she gives me a small smile.
“We have been running away from them, and the ones that have come close to capturing us, we both have killed them,” she says. “We can have one night before we go back on the run again.”
I sighed and looked at my best friend once more. I nodded, “Okay, we will go, but we need to leave tomorrow morning, so don’t get drunk,” I said to her.
Freya jumps up and down; she starts to go crazy. “I know exactly what you should wear, Thalia. It will look amazing on you,” she says.
Freya ran into her room as I turned to look back out the window.
Since we turned fifteen, Freya and I have been running from our kind for the last four years. We are Fae, well, what you may call fairies. We can mask our scent when we need to come across human to the other supernaturals around here. People think Fae or Fairies don’t exist, even though we all know that werewolves and vampires do.
Our parents were killed in an attack during a war in our realm; our mothers got us safely out before the mad king wanted to take us. He wanted us to become his twin son's mates. They were Fae Lords who only wanted the most powerful fairies to be close to them.
Both Freya and I are powerful. We can both use the forest to produce our power, and we try to live close to the forest as it is the primary resource for our energy. All fairies have tree power, but Freya can use air while I use water. It is very rare to find fairies with another element of power.
The mad king and his sons have been hunting us over the last four years, but we have been hiding amongst the humans for the previous year, which has been a godsend as we both had to learn quickly how to become human. We have both dyed our hair. Freya and I had white hair, but as soon as we dyed it, Freya had red hair, and I had brown. We both have blue eyes.
We try to make sure we don’t stay too long in one place as hunters from our realm come, but we can hide from them. We have found some Fae here in the human towns as well. They are also in hiding, but most of it is for different reasons. We all try to help each other, but sometimes it gets more challenging to ask for help. We live with Rosa, who recently found out she is mated to a werewolf. He doesn't know what she is, but he seems to think we are human, which is how we like it at the moment.
Rosa loves her mate; she is waiting at the moment as her mate has recently told his alpha that he is mated to a human, which means they have to date like a human. We know if we have mates as Faes by just the person's touch, but they won’t say we are till they smell our scent. Freya and I are not looking for mates, and even Rosa thinks they will protect us from the mad king and his sons.
I want to believe her, but something about being with one person scares me more, but it does sound nice to have someone to love for the rest of your life. The Fae are romantic creatures, but everyone has their limits. Freya loves the idea of a mate, especially when Rosa told us about hers. I am in two minds, but I know once we find a way to get the mad king and his sons away from us, I will look forward to it, but that could be years from now.
The door opens behind me, making me come out of my thoughts. I turned around to see Freya holding up a very short black dress and high heels.
I couldn’t help but frown at her, “Where’s the rest of it?” I asked her as she handed me the dress.
“You’re funny, Thalia. This dress will look amazing on you, especially with the gorgeous body you have,” she says, with a slight laugh.
I held the dress up and looked at it. It does look cute. I walk into the bathroom to get showered; Freya follows me there. She had one earlier, so she uses the bathroom to apply her makeup and do her hair. I quickly wash my hair and get ready once out. I quickly wrap a towel around me as Freya looks up at me, “Thalia, can I do your makeup and hair for you? I will be quick,” she says.
I nod. I hate getting ready for a night out.
I sit in the chair in front of the bathroom mirror. Freya drys my long hair and curls it once it is done. She does my makeup by turning me around to face her so I can’t look in the mirror. Freya loves all this stuff, but I would rather go without it.
“I’m done,” she says as she turns me around to look at my reflection.
“WOW,” I said, sounding a little shocked. You cannot tell I have makeup except for my eyes. Freya has made my eyes all smokey-eyed, but I have light foundation. She did a fantastic job with it.
I smiled back at her.
Freya smiles, “We both get dressed. Also, we need to place the necklaces on as Rosa is coming here, and she won’t be on her own; her mate, Liam, will be here to take us to the club,” she says, but something tells me that there is more to this.
“What is it?” I asked her. Freya moves away from me and walks into the bedroom; I follow her as I walk over to the small black dress. I turn to her.
“Freya, What aren’t you telling me?” I asked her as I placed the dress over my head, but it fits in all the right places and about covers my ass. I put my panties on, but there is no way I can wear a bra, but likely enough, the sequins on the dress cover my n*****s.
Freya slips on her silver dress and looks over at me. She was ignoring me, but once we both were dressed. She looks at me but sighs. “Okay, Rosa told me that Liam has asked his Alpha, his brother, and friend to come to the club, and she wants us to meet them.”
I looked at her in disbelief.
“Are you serious?” I asked her.
She shrugs, “Look, Thalia, we are going out, and we are leaving tomorrow anyway, whatever happens. We need to move, as you said, as we have been here for far too long, we will move, but I want to have one night where we can have fun and even have some men too” she says “I don’t even care if the man is a werewolf in all honestly, I just need to get laid.”
I groaned aloud, “Freya, you should have been a man,” I said, “What about your mate? What would he think?”
Freya smirks, “My mate may have had other people. I want to see what all the fuss is about. And anyway, we can’t get pregnant unless they are our mates, so it is fun either way,” she says.
I glare at her, but suddenly there is a slight knock at the door. I quickly grabbed the necklaces. I hand Freya hers; we put them on as Rosa steps into the room. She looks at both of us, and wolf whistles us, “Wow, ladies, you look amazing and gorgeous,” she says. She closes the door and stares back at us, “Liam is waiting downstairs. I told him you are my friends from school.”
I smiled at her, “No problem, we got this,” I said.
“What about his friends?” asked Freya. I couldn’t help the groan that slipped out of my lips.
Rosa smiles and looks between the both of us, “Well, they agreed to come, they will be there soon. Liam has gotten VIP tickets for all of us, there is a new club opening called Angel secret, it is supposed to be the best upcoming club,” she says with a smile.
I placed a fake smile on my face, and I looked around our room. Both Freya and I packed what we needed to leave. Rosa is making sure we get out of here. She has been one of the most generous and caring people I have ever met. I'm going to miss her.
“Let’s go, shall we,” Rosa says.
I grab a small clutch that Freya must have had me. I look at her, she smiles.
We all headed downstairs, but the most handsome man I ever met was at the bottom of the stairs.
Liam looks up and smiles; he looks at each of us, but when his eyes land on Rosa, he is smitten with her.
Freya elbows me in the side, and I glare at her.
“This is Freya,” Rosa says as she points to Freya. Liam nods his head, “Nice to meet you.”
He turns to me, “This is Thalia,” she says; he nods. I place my hand out, and he shakes it.
Well, I know humans do this sort of thing. I smiled at him.
“It is nice to meet you both. Rosa has told me that you both are here on holiday,” he says.
We don’t say anything but nod.
We need to find out what Rosa has told him, so we don’t make a fool of ourselves.
“Shall we leave?” He asks as he opens the front door, and we all leave before he does. Once we are outside, a taxi pulls up, and we all get in.
We all head to the club.
