I don't know how to react or to say or to understand this thing. I can't believe of being adopted. I can't believe all of these happening to me. I was now sitting with her and Marcus on the bench. Princess Amanda told me everything and explain everything to me. First, when she fall in love to Darius slash Marcus on Outsideworld and her father find out and was about to kill Darius but she bonded her soul to him so, if her father, the King of all Kingdoms hurt Darius or kill Darius she will also get killed.

Then I was born here, in her house, without her father knowing because she keep it a secret and she dismiss all the servants and left only the one she trusted most, her nurse who took care of her when she was an infant until now. Then, when the night comes and dark shadows keeps bugging her and she found tree of her father's warrior to her garden and was going to abduct her and to kill me, she left to the Outsideworld and leave me on the tree near our house on the Outsideworld.

I don't get mad or angry to my parents and to them. I was all surprise and I don't really know how to react. But everything was clear to me, she even show me inside my mind like it was a movie.

"Your wish come true." I told Marcus slash Darius… my biological father. He smile wide and embrace me like there's no tomorrow.

"This is all enough for me. My love," he took Princess Amanda's hand and kiss it. "And my sweet daughter. I had never been happy, being with two of you."

"It sounds too cheesy Marcus," I told him.

"Just call me dad… I love it when you call me dad."

"I—I don't know." I shrugged and Nick wasn't there because he give us privacy. I hope he is not hooking because I saw lots of girly girls there.

"Okay, what about Papà? It's Italian." I snorted and hugged my biological mother. I feel comfortable when she hug me too. "And you call her Mamma."

"Alright! Just stop…"

I didn't thought that I would be already so close to them. My Mamma is sweet and caring and cheerful too. We are walking on the corridor and a woman at forties came and bow at us.

"Princess, shall I prepare the dinner?"

"I told you, let them prepare the dinner. By the way," she walk toward the woman and took her hand. "Rosalinda, do you remember my baby?" the woman smile that makes her look younger.

"Of course, hija. I never forget that bright child of yours."

"Well, she's here." Mamma took my hand and the woman's eyes dilated and she look teary.

"Dios mio, Amanda. Is she really her?" the woman named Rosalinda even check my face and every part of me. "She has marks! You really look like her, Amanda." Her accent is quite Spanish.

"Of course Rosalinda, they are beautiful aren't they?" Marcus said.

"Sí! Sí!" she wipe her tears. "Belleza!"

So then, we walk outside the wide lawns, pavilion, and there's a maze garden. I am wearing a scarf that cover's my mouth and nose that is perfect on my dress so that I won't get have lot of attention. And I am wearing a tiara to cover my forehead marks, there are ladies laughing so graceful on the benches. She explain to me that she take few ladies to teach them right Royal Etiquette and languages.

A bark of a familiar dog makes me turn. And I saw the snow-white furry wolf running towards me ignoring the people that he scared. I run to him and spread my arms. He jump to me until I fall flat on the grass and he started licking my face though I have a cover on my face.

"Ohh… Ruin! I thought you are gone." I hugged him really tight after I sat up. "And you lick me, that's gross. But I miss you." I kiss his muzzle and his hairy tail keep on wiggling. Nick is running breathlessly and he lean his hands on his knees and then stood and put it on his waist.

"I—I never thought that he could run that fast." He pull a handkerchief and help me get up and wipe Ruin's saliva on my face. "I had predicted that." He smile cockily.

"Ohh, look at these young lovers." Amanda speaks behind us.

"Nicholas, would you please drop a little of your PDA." Marcus said that makes me giggles. But Nick didn't drop a little of his PDA and kiss me on my forehead instead.

"Sorry, dad." He emphasize the 'dad' word. I giggle and Ruin bark.

I kneel and hug Ruin again. I miss this guy. I also miss Katherine. I hope that she's doing fine.

"Dios mio!" Oh! That's Rosalinda. "Young lady," she walk toward me and pull me up. And started removing dirt from my dress. "It isn't appropriate to ruin your dress."

"Rosalinda, it is alright." Amanda weaned.

"Yeah." I agree with her. "I love ruining dresses." I wink at her, that makes her gasped and look at Amanda with question.

"It was supposed to be funny." Princess Amanda said. I look at Nick and kick my shoes.

"Wanna play game?" I ask him. He shrugged and look at my mother and my father. I don't know how to put the calling to them. Nick look back at me like they get it. "Let's ruin this dress. Rosalinda look funny on it." I whisper.

"Love…" he wean. Then I run off to the maze and Ruin run with me and he is running.

"Adhiti!" Marcus called. "Don't trip!"

"I won't!" I shout back and ignore few people on the garden. "Nick! I have a price if you found me!"

"Then I'll find you."

I suddenly stop when it felt like déjà vu again. I ignore it and continue running. I took different pathways and stop when there's nothing. I keep quite when I heard footsteps. I told Ruin to keep quiet and he did.

"Got you." Ruin growls at barks. I also get startled when I saw a man standing in front of me. He look really familiar to me. Tall and dark. His eyes are black and his face look almost perfect as a God. "Adhiti." Ruin keeps on growling and barking I tried to remember him. His black hair is quite long and he is wearing a black tuxedo. If I am not mistaken, people here don't wear tuxedo.

"Who are you?" I ask him. He is not alone, there are shadows around him. Ruin didn't stop barking and growling and his fangs are ready to bite.

"Sweet, don't you remember me?" he extend his hand to me. My whole body started heating and my stomach is fluttering. I can feel that the four souls inside me are fighting or getting mad. "See? Your sisters know me. Tell them that I miss them too."

"Abyss," that's what comes out from my mouth.

"Yes, love."

"You never know what love is." I feel myself smirking.

"I do. And I love you." He sound cocky and like a jerk.

"I might not remember things, but I do not love you." It seemed that it pains him.

"Adhiti!" Nick calls.

"Ohh… seemed like the lover boy is here to rescue you." He disappear with the black shadows. Ruin growls and bark one last time and he whimpers wiggling his tail in front of me.

"Adhi!" Nick look really worried and he hugged me. I hug him back and I suddenly feel myself trembling. He push me a little and scoop my cheeks. "What is it?" I shook my head. I don't understand what's happening too.

He hold my hand as we walk for an exit. I stop when there's a young lady at the age of seventeen on the corner. She bows her head, her silver-hair is braided in French braid, her eyes are light gray and her lips are in perfect crossbow curve, her skin was white and blooming like a silver and has an exceptional beautiful. Is she a witness? Without saying anything she walk off.

Marcus and Princess Amanda together with Rosalinda are outside the maze seemed all worried. I told them that I was okay and I saw few warriors on a garden arena like are practicing their bows and arrow. I feel Zoe inside me and Odessi's anger. I think I need to loosen up. They all need to loosen up.

"I need to lose few tension." I told Nick.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

We went on the wide ground and he pull a bow and arrows. Marcus stand behind Princess Amanda who is sitting on the bench. I breathed and thought of that man again inside my head. It makes the four Goddesses inside me mad. I pull the arrow and stretch it on the string. I am on my position and I stare on the red target. I release it and it was on the very middle. I keep on thinking and trying to flashback my dream while shooting.

Damn, this is not good. Abyss is the antagonist. In my dream, Abyss was son of God the Creator and father of all. There are lots of sons and daughters that protects and made different things Abyss was the God of Darkness and now he's the God of Torment and Evil.

So, Abyss is the one to stop? I ask them inside my head.

Yes he is. Do you remember now? That you are Adhiti Goddess of Universe. Aryanna asked

Yes, I do. Quite a little, yet still fuzzy. So, uhm, Abyss killed me in Heaven?

Yes and no. He tried to take your soul and immortality, but he never get what he wants. He just take your memories and that's why you end up here, living with mortals. Serina said.

Okay, so, I made the Universe… with other Gods and Goddesses… God of the Sun or Day and God of Night or Moon… So then, our father in heaven, create us with special gift and create these mortals and we help him make things for their living.

Correct. Zoe said.

Why Abyss would took my memories?

Because he wanted to take over your Universe, this earth… everything.

That stupid sas! I am really going to kick his pain in the ass butt.

"Adhiti." Nick calls and I shook my head and look at him. He look really worried. I look at my targets and my eyes widens.

"Oh, wow! Did you—" probably I hit the same spot and the arrows are split into two.

So in the dinner, Princess Amanda taught me basics and few things and on what's the use of other utensils. I am a fast learner so it is easy for me to determine things. Then after dinner, I, Marcus and Princess Amanda walk on around the wide garden while we are holding hands at each other like a real family. At least, we are real family now. Though it's kind-a awkward because I wanted them to be alone.

They are stealthily holding hands together damn, I just wished that Nick is here so we could make a hot make out and then eat and cuddle.

"On festival, what do you plan to do?" Mamma asked me.

"Well, I will make a big show and sneak out my best friend."

"You wanted to play for a performance? I can, make that."

"That's cool! Yes, I will perform and whatever happens, I have to get Marissa out of there."

"Let's practice tomorrow." Marcus said.

"Cool! I have to go back to my room," I hug both of them and they both give me kisses. I run back inside like racing when I bump my face into someone that makes my butt falls down. I groan on the pain and it seemed like my hips dislocated. I look at the man in front of me that is also sitting on the floor. "Damn, damn…" I mutter. Our eyes met, black eyes to my eyes. My mouth gapes and my body shivers.

Calixe… Aryanna murmur on my head. He stood and pulls me up by my arms.

"Are you alright?" he ask full of worried. I am staring at him. Why am I staring at him?

I can feel that my heart skips a beat or is it because of Aryanna? He stare into my eyes and look mesmerized. Okay, maybe it changes into the color of the sky, crystal light blue and Aryanna feels like taking my body from me.

He pulls my scarf down and stare into my lips. He gently caress my hair that has multiple color. Her eyes seemed mesmerized too on my hair and I can feel the air blows my hair and gives chills on my body. He never take his eyes off me, and I don't know how long we've been staring at each other. I feel like I am forgetting everything.

I feel his warm thumbs gently caress my cheeks to my chin, to my nose, lips and eyebrows. I can feel Aryanna's longing for him. I can feel her love and desire towards him. Why are they making my heart complicated? And my emotions?

"Aryanna…" he mutter.

"Cal…" that's my voice but I didn't order to say those words. My sound wasn't me. It sound so serine and so sweet and warm.

"I had been waiting for you, my Anna." He gently pulls my hand and put it flat on his chest where his beating heart is. "This hasn't beat like this…after I lost you…"

I don't know what to say? Aryanna is taking over my body.

"You've been so lonely…" that's what I said or Aryanna. She (I) scoop his cheek and he closes the pace between us as he leans his forehead to mine while Aryanna is controlling my body.

"I've always been thinking of you." He warmly kiss in between of my brows.

"You do?" Aryanna's playful smile flashes. "Ohh, my Cal, don't you seek for other girls to pleasure you?"

"Aryanna, my soul, I never thought of that because you are all I think. Do you know how much it grieves me of that day? I won't let them get away with it."

"I know my soul, I just wished that you won't hurt yourself too much." I feel lightheaded and my consciousness slowly fading. I feel that they kiss passionately, embracing and touching each other's skin that pleasure them too much. And if they didn't stop or if no one will interrupt, they might make love her and my virginity will be at risk! It is supposed to be Nick not him!

Oh Aryanna! I know how much you miss each other because of centuries without touching each other and talking at each other but, seriously, I will get engage soon (if Nick ever ask for a marriage) and Nick will get mad at me.

"I love you…" Calixe murmurs between their kiss and they really kiss deeply. Of course it was way too different from my kiss with Nick. They are kissing too hot and too passionate that, I cannot explain. They are full of hunger and wanting for more.

It's not that I wanted to interrupt but, seriously! Aryanna, you are not in your own body! Zoe scowls yet Aryanna ignore her.

Prince Nicholas will get really sad about this. Serina said in little panic.

Let them be, just don't let them make love. Adhiti might break.

Yes that is probably true. If Nicholas saw this scene, and if he might get mad, Adhiti might break and we can no longer do our plans. Zoe agreed. I hate to wake up the other one…

It's not important. The important thing is, will Prince Nicholas accept us? Serina in her siren voice.

Other one? I mutter inside my head and they didn't say anything.

"Adhiti!" oh! There I woke up and I was back on my own body. I feel someone grabbed me and I was shove on a big chest. His scent makes me know that it was Nick. Yet my legs feel jelly. "What are you doing?" he scowl and I feel trembling yet he embrace me. Then I realize that he was staring and scowling at Calixe.

"It's my soul mate." Calixe said in very calm tone.

"No. Adhiti is my soulmate."

"I mean the one inside her."

"Yes, she might be but this body is Adhiti's." I hold on Nick and tried to stop him but I feel really jelly. Maybe because I pull my soul back to my own body. I feel my lips swollen and taste their kiss.

Damn! I feel gross out!

"Guys… shut up." I murmur.

"I'm sorry Prince Nicholas but you saw what happened and I would like to have my mate."

"How? To get my mate's body and have her all by yourself?"

"It's not—"

"Guys! Shut up!" Oh, thanks for some energy Odessi. But these boys really hurt my head plus you guys. "I will get really mad if you both don't shut up!"

"Sorry." Both of them shut up and I felt Nick carried me back to our room. He look flushed. Is he mad? His jaws are tighten and he really look mad. He pulls few pillows and make me lean my back there. He pour a glass of water and gave it to me. I drank and it chills my body.

He went to the closet and pull something making himself busy.

"Are you mad at me?"

"No." he said coldly.

"Why do you sound so cold?" I finish my water.

"It's not that." His coldness drop and he went to the bathroom. He came back with a porcelain bowl that has water on it. He put it on the side table and remove my scarf and few of my clothes. He dip the whole cloth and squeeze it and gently dump it on my face and on my lips.

He bent down and kiss my lips.

"You are not mad that I kiss Calixe?"

"It's not you."

"Then are you mad at her too?"

"You have to sleep."

"You are mad at her." He give me sad eyes and he went to the closet and give my silk pink sleeping gown.

"I am not mad at her. We can't ignore the bond between them."

"Then are you mad at Calixe?" I ask after I put the glass on the side table and I started removing few of my clothes.

"Well, I was a while ago." He is standing with his back on me. I slip off from bed and change my

clothes.

"Sorry about that. I will try talking to them. You know, they are also pain in the ass." He turn his back and gather my used clothes and put it on the laundry. I took the wet cloth and squeeze it and wipe it all over my face and neck. He remove his shirt and walk to me.

"Did they show up on you?"

"Yes. When I was…" I cut off when I haven't told him about the thing that I did or they did… they led me to Aer. "When I found myself traveling to Aēr. They took care of me and then I show up to the Queen who was such a bitch." I told him while he is climbing to the bed and lay next to me.

"How did you escape?"

"I jump on the whole… you know… the open floor."

"You jump there?" he sat up as he process the whole thing.

"Yeah! Listen! So when I jump there, I feel like in heaven falling… it was a good feeling."

"Adhiti! You seriously—" I cover his mouth and continue on my story telling.

"I feel the cold air and it was really good. Then Luther came to save me. And I don't fully remember few things because Odessi take over my body and I found myself sleeping on a very comfortable bed with full of feathers like I was in heaven, again. Then I found Phrixus inside."

"Luther?" he grimaced.

"Yes. The winged guy like an angel? He said that he was my guardian…our guardian."

"He's alive?"

"Yup! He is. So he flew me back to your cabin and Odessi took over my body and confess her heartfelt love towards him and they kiss." He look pale and really baffled. Did I say it all aloud? "Sorry. I didn't meant to kiss him."

"It's not you." Then he lay down and pull the covers. He turn back from me and he sleep though I know he wasn't. I snuggle on his back and hug him.

"Come on…" I mutter. He push my arm and move sideways facing me.

"It's kind-a creepy but Odessi creep me out. She got out nude from the bathroom. Did they usually do that?"

"Yes! It's no big deal on heaven…I mean the above world. But of course they have to do some covers from those lustful eyes of mortals." His brows furrows while his face is facing mine and on my level.

"Yeah you are right." He kiss my nose and I snuggle on his chest. He hugged me tight. "Tell me what else you haven't told me yet."
