One Fated Nighmare... {Series #2: "Destiny's Desire"}

Two weeks had passed by and everyone had returned to their normal, or sometimes, not so normal lives in London. Thing's had been pretty hectic the past few weeks, especially for Selene and Sara, whom had been working on attempting to perfect their newly acquired magical powers. Of course that was proving to be a not so easy task to master. 1

Selene had pretty much became inseparable from Luke, they literally spent all of their time together. He and Alison had both either been at work or with the sisters for the past couple of weeks. A new chapter in everyone’s lives seemed to have opened up and where it may lead to, only time will tell... 2

Selene had gave up her tiny apartment and moved into the LeVox mansion, since Lorenzo was now dead, and everything had been left to the two girls. Its interior had the most intricate designs they had ever seen. 3

There were six bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a living room downstairs and two upstairs, an elaborately designed indoor pool as well as an outdoor one, a large attic, den complete with a fully stocked library, gym, game room, outdoor gardens and a kitchen fit for a king, or in this case, a queen.4

The bedrooms were all decorated in the finest of materials; silk curtains lined the rooms and the softest cashmere carpet known to man. Selene stepped out of the shower and into the bedroom she had been staying in. The delicate blue carpet felt soft against her bare feet as she walked over to the large cedar dresser. A large mirror, shaped like a heart, sat atop the dresser. The outer edges were lined with real fourteen carat gold and designed in a ribbon pattern. 5

Selene had helped to design the room when she was in college and her mom had redone the whole estate in new decor. The bed in this particular room had blue satin sheets with a white satin comforter, lined in blue roses, draped across it. The headboard of the bed had a delicate heart design etched deep into the cedar wood. Her walls had been done in fancy decor as well, the base color was blue, golden leaves and red roses adorned the entire wall. 6

A blue lace canopy hung across the top of the bed. Disney figurines sat all along the room. Special shelves had been constructed just for several of them. Selene picked up a Cinderella and Prince Charming music box as a smile spread across her face. She had always been in love with fairy tales. As a teenager most of her friends had thought she was too much of a dreamer. She had shrugged it off and told them she was who she was and nothing could change that fact.7

She was glad that nothing ever had. Figurines of Cinderella, Prince Charming, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty (Aurora), Beauty (Belle) and the Beast and even Mickey and Minnie Mouse were all throughout the large room. She even had a Cinderella lamp that sat by her bed, the shade was blue with tiny clear crystals dangling from it. On the base was a statue of Cinderella and Prince Charming sharing a dance at the ball.8

Even the towels in her bathroom were straight from a fairytale; nearly every one she owned was Disney. She sat the music box down, picked up her hair brush and stepped back into the bathroom. A generously sized blue heart shaped Jacuzzi sat in the corner. A shower with crystal iced glass doors was straight across from it. Selene had decorated the glass with Disney decals and even had a rug outside the shower with Mickey and Minnie Mouse on it. 9

The sink was the prettiest shade of blue marble, although you could barely even see the counter top. The top was cluttered with make up, hair accessories, jewelry and various hygiene products. A tooth brush holder shaped like Cinderella's castle sat to the corner of it. 10

Selene brushed her long chestnut hair then picked up the already heated curling iron as she curled her lengthy hair into tight curls around her petite shaped face. After she was done she pulled the sides back with a sparkling rhinestone aquamarine clip. Next she meticulously put her makeup on and made sure it was perfectly flawless. She picked up a bottle of blue glitter body spray then sprayed some on to her neck, arms and then some in her hair. Her towel dropped to the floor as she stepped back into her bedroom. 11

She slipped on her under garments first then picked up the shimmering blue ball gown. She zipped it up on to her slender body then glanced in the mirror. The Cinderella costume made her look like a real princess. It was an exact replica of the one from the fairytale. She stepped into her shoes; they glittered like well polished diamonds on her feet. Her final touch was tying a soft blue ribbon into her hair. 12

The door bell downstairs rung out throughout the house when Luke had arrived; Selene smiled at the sound of his voice when he spoke over the intercom system. She punched a button and told him she would be right down then pushed another to unlock the door for him so that he could step inside. She took one last look in the mirror and fluffed her curly hair up some more. She put on a long pair of dangling blue crystal chandelier earrings that glittered under the lights and then a matching necklace that went with it. 13

She took one final look into the mirror and then went over to the top of the landing. A smile spread across her face as she glanced down the stairway and saw him, she held her dress up on each side as she carefully walked down them. They had pale blue carpeting that covered them and tall golden railings that lined each side of the fairytale like double staircase. Her eyes locked with Luke's the entire time as she made her way down the staircase, her flowing dress trailing along behind her as she walked over to where he stood by the door.14

He flashed an anxious smile at Selene as he reached out, took her delicate hand and kissed it with the utmost tenderness. Her pearly whites shimmered as she returned the smile and blushed when he kissed her hand. "You look so beautiful tonight my sweet Cinderella." His eyes roamed all over her petite frame as he admired her fanciful attire and her gorgeous figure, she took his breath away. He pulled her close and kissed her lips with a kill fueled with longing and desire. "No other woman would ever be able to hold a candle to your beauty and I mean that with all of my heart." He gazed into her sparkling eyes as he brushed the back of his soft hand across her cheek.15

She could feel her heart beat faster, her entire body weakened under the tenderness of his touch making her putty in his hands. A smile played at the corners of her polished lips. She wrapped her arms around him and trailed her fingers down his masculine arms, her cheeks flushed at his flattering comments as she gazed into his stunning blue eyes and sighed. "Oh sweetie, you always say the most incredible things to me...” Her eyes then scanned his attractive stature. "Mmmm and you look so... soooo... sexy tonight!" She trailed her hand down the front of his costume and around the elegant golden buttons that lined it as her words came out in a sultry purr. "You do make for one very handsome Prince Charming, Luke Stone." Her lips brushed lightly against the nape of his neck as she took in the smell of his cologne. "And I love that cologne that you're wearing." She smiled at him as she breathed deeply taking his scent in.16

Luke's face flushed as he grinned down at her. "And you Ms. LeVox are a woman who knows just how to steal a mans heart." His fingers tangled in her hair as his gaze fixated on her eyes. "I am so glad that you like it darling, I wanted to make things perfect for my gorgeous Cinderella this evening. After everything that you have been through you deserve a magical night out on the town." He pulled a bouquet of purple roses from behind his back and held them out to her. "Beautiful roses for a beautiful lady; I've heard that purple roses signify enchantment and I can say, without a doubt, that you my darling are the most enchanting woman I have ever met!"17

She smiled even more as she took the gorgeous flowers that he handed to her and placed them under her nose, deeply inhaling the exotic scent that they produced. "Oh sweetie, these are absolutely gorgeous! I love this color, it's so pretty." She leaned up and kissed his lips tenderly. "I think our evening tonight is going to be full of enchantment!" Her eyes sparkled as she smiled at him. "Thank you so much for the stunning roses, they are so lovely!" Her eyes misted over as she spoke. "No one has ever given me flowers before and... Luke... They're incredible." Her eyes danced in the light as she held the flowers cradled into her arms. 18

He placed his hand around her, rubbing it along her back as he pulled her close to him. "I'm so glad that you like them I saw those and I just knew they were the perfect ones for my sweet princess." He then pushed the front door of the house open and grinned at her. "Your carriage waits..." 19

She giggled as she stepped out the door, assuming he was joking. That is, until she saw the carriage at the base of her driveway. Her eyes went wide as they focused in on the two white horses that were hooked up to the Cinderella style, round carriage. The carriage was outlined in purple and the wheels painted in a bright, shiny, golden color. The illuminating carriage glittered under the bright light of the full moon. "Oh my god Luke this is... Oh my god..." Her mouth dropped open as she locked her stare on the stunning carriage. The driver of it tipped his hat down to her as the inched closer to it. 20

Luke took her hand and helped her to step inside of the carriage. Inside was even more gorgeous than the outside. The cushiony seats were lined in soft purple satin covers, the rounded roof had small lights that lined the satin coverings, and they extended all the way down the wall. The floor had light purple carpeting and lights that lined the corners. Selene sat down on the seat inside as Luke stepped inside and closed the door. He sat down beside of her and took her trembling hand in his as the carriage began to move back out through the large gates of the LeVox estate. Selene's eyes glimmered when she turned and smiled up at Luke.21

"How did you... I mean this is... I..." Her words trailed off as she touched his cheek with her hand and leaned in and pressed her warm lips against his. Her hand squeezed his, her body pressed against him as the kiss deepened. Her tongue slipping inside the warmth of his inviting mouth; He put his other arm around her and pulled her close. Shivers traveled down her spine when she felt his hand rubbing against her bare back. He broke the kiss and trailed soft, passionate kisses down the nape of her neck, under her throat, then lower to the bulging tops of her bosom. She gasped at the way he was kissing her, leaning her head back against the soft seats as his hands and lips wandered her body. 22

*************************************************23

Alison was frustrated when she stepped inside of her house. She threw her purse and keys down on the small table and then plopped down roughly on to her sofa. The case she had dealt with today had been grueling and her partner hadn't helped matters. Alison had been placed with one of the most annoying detectives at the station; Jenna Ellis. Jenna was considered by most to be the bitch of the station. She had even pissed their boss, Ricardo, off more than once. Alison jumped, startled when her mobile phone rang out. She picked it up, without even looking at the caller id, answering in a hateful tone.24

"Alison speaking..." She stated in a bitter, pissy tone as she leaned back against the inviting sofa pillows. 25

"Alison! Hey... It's Sara... Ummm did I catch you at a bad time?" Sara stated with uncertainty in her voice from the other end of the line.26

Alison immediately sat up bolt right on the sofa. "Sara!" Her voice changed as she realized who it was calling. "No... No you didn't. I'm sorry; I had a really terrible day at work. We had this case where... Anyways it's good to hear from you." A smile spread across Alison's face as her voice began to calm down.27

"Awww I'm sorry you had such a bad day at work. If you want to talk about it I'm all ears." Sara smiled as she twirled the phone cord around her fingers. "Hey listen I'm not really doing anything tonight and I wondered if... Well maybe you want to go out somewhere?" Sara bit her lip as the nervousness played out in her voice when she spoke.28

"Well I... I really would love to but tonight I... I have a better idea." She beamed as she crossed her legs on the sofa. "How about you come over to my place and I can make you dinner. I really would prefer a quite evening at home instead of being around a lot of people this evening." She found herself crossing her fingers, hoping Sara would say yes.29

"That sounds wonderful!" Sara's voice filled with excitement. "I bet you are an amazing cook. I never have really done much cooking before. I guess since I have been alone most of my life I just never had a need to learn how but who knows maybe one of these days I will decide to give it a try. Then again, considering I have magic now I could just zap something in." Sara busted out laughing.30

Alison giggled. "Well, if you wanted to learn the real way to cook, instead of using magic, maybe I could show you how one day? I would love to try, that is, if you would like for me to?"31

"Really? Yea I would love that. I'm sure that you teaching me would be much better than cheating and using magic to whip up food." She giggled. "Besides, as if I have even got a handle on these powers. I have made things blow up or break more times than I can even count! Selene and I both have."32

"Awww don't worry, you will get the hang of it. I'm sure magic is just like anything, it will take time for you to master it. Once you do though, I bet you are going to be a natural at it." Alison paused as she stood up from the sofa. "So then I will see you say... 7:00?"33

"7:00 it is then..." Sara smiled as she continued to twirl the phone cord of her land line phone around her long fingers. "I'm looking forward to it." Sara wrote down the address of Alison's house. The two then said their goodbyes and hung the phone up. 34

Alison walked into her kitchen and began pulling down things to fix dinner with oblivious to the man outside. The man who had been watching her for days, weeks, months; He peered through the window then slipped behind her house. Alison flipped the radio on in the kitchen just as he slammed a rock through her bedroom window. Glass flew all over the room, the man pulled himself inside as the music from the kitchen filled the house and drowned out the noise coming from her bedroom. He rummaged through her drawers, sniffing and pawing her clothes. He then pushed the bedroom door open and quietly made his way through the house...35
