Dragomir Castle
Carpathian Mountains,Romania
S
alju menutupi pelataran depan kastil besar bergaya khas Rumania itu..Abel Dragomir William pemilik kastil besar itu,pria paruh baya yang cukup disegani di Romania dan beberapa negara lain. Abel memiliki seorang istri cantik bernama Catalin Valeriu William, 2 putra bernama Marcel Dragor William & Cezar Dragor William dan seorang putri bernama Kendra Dragomir William. Kendra sendiri jarang menggunakan nama tengah ayahnya diluar Romania karena ia tahu beberapa orang sangat mengenali nama keluarga Dragomir William sehingga ia hanya menggunakan nama Kendra William saja..
Beberapa sajian makanan sudah lengkap tersedia di meja makan mewah panjang di kastil itu,kelima penghuni kastil itu pun mulai menyantap makanan tersebut...Abel pun menatap putri satu satunya itu yang sedikit tidak bersemangat saat menyuapkan sup ke mulutnya.
A
bel sang pemimpin keluarga itu mulai membuka pembicaraan "Kendra...Apa kau benar benar menggunakan sihir itu padanya 1 setengah bulan yang lalu?...kau kira dad tidak mengetahuinya ya..aku tau semuanya Kendra..." Kendra yang sedang makanpun tiba tiba berhenti dan menatap daddy nya itu.
"Aku bisa mengatasi masalahku sendiri dad..." Kendra kembali fokus ada makanannya seraya membalas ucapan daddynya dengan santai.
"Ya kau mengatasi masalahmu sendiri dengan menggunakan sihir lagi pada manusia biasa..." ucapan Abel membuat putrinya itu berhenti dari aktivitasnya dan menatap daddynya.
"Apa bedanya dengan kau dad..kau menggunakan sihir pada manusia biasa satu tahun yang lalu bukan..tunggu bukan manusia biasa tetapi sahabatku..." ucap Kendra dengan tatapan tajam pada Abel.
Aura dari ayah dan putrinya itu sangat terasa di suasana makan siang hari ini... Ucapan Kendra barusan pun terasa menusuk Abel seketika..ia masih ingat ketika setahun lalu ia menggunakan sihir pada seorang perempuan biasa yang terbaring dirumah sakit,ia merapalkan mantra kesakitan pada perempuan itu itu karena ia marah dan emosi karena salah satu penyebab putri satu satunya mengalami kecelakaan hebat di San Francisco yang mengakibatkannya koma 2 bulan dan patah kaki kirinya..ia sangat emosi dan marah sehingga tanpa sadar ia merapalkan mantra kesakitan pada wanita itu.

"Sudahlah Kendra...itu adalah kejadian lalu,kau tau kan daddy tidak sadar saat merapalkan mantra itu padanya..dan kau juga sudah memberi balasan pada orang yang menjadi penyebab kecelakaan kalian setahun yang lalu..." ucap Marcel seraya menatap kedua.
"Benar yang diucapkan Marcel,Kend...sahabatmu mungkin tidak ingat padamu tapi tidak ada salahnya kan kalau kau coba bertemu lagi dengannya..mungkin ia akan mengingatmu..." ucap Cezar,Kendra pun memandang kedua kakak nya itu tanpa berbicara apapun.
Abel pun bangkit dari duduknya tanpa berkata apapun lalu memandang keluarganya kemudian pergi berlalu meninggalkan meja makan itu.
"Kendra dengarkan mom...daddymu sudah meminta maaf padamu sebelumnya bukan... Itu hanya emosi belaka sayang..karena ia mengkhawatirkanmu putri satu satunya keluarga Dragomir...dan benar kata kakakmu,dia sudah mendapatkan balasan dari perbuatannya dulu bukan..." Catalin pun seraya memeluk putri satu satunya itu dan mengelus punggungnya.
"Kendra... Kami akan menemanimu kembali ke New Jersey, Amerika besok...ada yang harus kami urus disana..kau tidak keberatan bukan my little princess.." Ucap Marcel
"Tentu saja..asal kalian jangan mengganggu ku saja saat berada disana.." kedua kakaknya pun tersenyum dengan ucapan adiknya itu.

Tak lama ia menoleh ke belakang dimana seorang wanita dengan pakaian sleeveless hitam crop dipadukan dengan rok panjang hitam dan rambutnya yang ikal dibiarkan tergerai itu sedang meraih sepeda dan menaikinya..Ana pun menyadari saat Hunter sedang menatapnya,ia pun membalas tatapan Hunter dengan senyuman dan mulai mengayuh sepeda ke arah Hunter.

"Kau mau bersepeda kemana An?" tanya nya saat sepeda yang dinaiki Ana berhenti tepat didepannya.
"Entahlah..aku hanya ingin bersepeda disekitar sini,apa yang kau foto Hunt?"
"Aku memotret mu dan keindahan tempat ini..."
"Hmm kau memotret ku ya..kau harus membayarnya Mr.Pearce.." dengan senyuman meledek seraya mengangkat sebelah alisnya.
"Baiklah aku akan membayarnya nanti dipotong gajimu.." ucap Hunter seraya kembali fokus memotret sekitar..
"Ayolah Hunt..aku bercanda,jangan potong gajiku...please.."
"Hahaha ya ya.. Aku tidak akan memotong gajimu..hmm An,aku mau mengajakmu kesuatu tempat di sekitar sini...biar aku yang mengendarai sepedanya.." Hunter mengambil alih sepeda yang dinaiki Ana,dan Ana pun hanya mengedikan kedua bahunya lalu turun dari sepeda.
"Tempat seperti apa itu Hunt?" tanya Ana penasaran.
"Kau akan tau nanti,yang pastinya kau akan menyukainya An.."
"Okay.. I trust you Hunt.."
Hunter pun mengayuhkan sepedanya dengan santai menuju tempat dimana ia yakin Ana akan menyukainya.

Terminal
My heart was shattered that day. It was on that day that I realized that life had an end, and that mine was coming. It was on that day that I realized that I was going to die. Leukemia, they told me. It's almost over. I didn't know what to do after that. I thought that maybe it would be best to die right then, get it over with. I thought that I could push myself away from all my friends, all my family, stop them from missing me after I was gone. I thought that I could handle it on my own, that perhaps the world was better off without me. I was wrong. So please help me, I'm dying. Save me, I'm falling. They tell me I won't survive. Please catch me, because if you don't, I'll shatter. I can't grab on anymore, I can't keep fighting. It's going to swallow me up. My name is Alyssa Gray, and by the time you finish reading this, I'll be dead. ________________________________ A few warnings and things to note: -I've put up the tramatising content tag due to a lot of mentions on death, dying, illness, and a mother who tends to be rather cruel. I know that I take a perspective that many will strongly disagree with, and I'm okay with that. Just be warned that this isn't lighthearted stuff. This is real, and death is real, and this part streaches beyond the fiction into reality. -I'm going to say a minor spoiler, but I don't want it to take you unaware because it is something to be aware of. At one point, my MC attempts suicide and fails. It's a very violent scene and I will put up the gore tag after writing this, and it's also just really depressing. If this will be triggering, you need to be aware of this before you read it. -This is a christian book. It may go against some of your beliefs. I hope that you can read and comment anyway even if some of it does not sit well with you. Credits for the cover go to the user 'Media in Sanity'. Your help and assitance has meant so much to me, God bless you in your writing and your endevours. A proud member of WriTE. I've promised to finish this fiction and update it at least once a month. My schedule is very irregular, and I'm working on that, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that this book stays out there. I'm not ending it until it's done.
