I'm so happy because any moment now, I'll see Rose. I've designed our room with roses, her favorite flower, and love notes everywhere. I couldn't wait to see her.
I came out of the room and went to sit on a bench near Alex. "Hey buddy, what are you thinking?" I asked him. He sat down and said, "If I ask Stella out, what do you think she'll say?" I replied, "She'll probably say no." Alex looked sad, and I couldn't help but laugh. "You should know Stella better than I do," I said. "She's been questioning you, so definitely, she'll say yes."
Alex looked at me, and I could see the seriousness in his eyes. "Seriously, don't joke with me, guy," he said. I reassured him, "Seriously," and we did our friendship handshake and started discussing our plans for Stella and Rose.
Just then, I heard a bus coming towards the picnic area, and my heart skipped a beat. I was so happy to see Rose, but at the same time, I was scared. She had told me to "let my beast out," and I did. But now, I was worried she might scold me.
"What was I scared of, Rose?" I asked myself, but she didn't answer. Instead, she told Alex, "Let's go meet them."
Alexander's POV:
When Skyler told me that Stella would probably say no, my heart broke into a thousand pieces. Why would she say no? I saw it in her eyes that she really liked me. I looked so sad until Skyler started laughing and said, "You should know Stella more than I do. She's been crushing on you, so definitely, she'll say yes."
I couldn't believe I had doubted myself earlier. Skyler's words reassured me, and we started discussing our plans for Stella and Rose. Just then, we heard a bus coming towards the picnic area. We knew it was the girls. I looked at Skyler, and he looked happier than I'd ever seen him. Rose must have really changed him.
Skyler told me, "Let's go meet them." I followed him.
Rose's POV:
After a stressful journey, we finally arrived at the picnic. Stella said, "I can't wait to see Alex," and I laughed, saying, "Can't wait to see Skyler." I said it loud enough for Elena to hear, knowing she'd get jealous. They still suspected she was involved in what happened to me, but I didn't have the evidence to prove it.
When we got off the bus, Stella and I turned to each other, and I saw Skyler and Alex waiting for us. I hugged Skyler, and he held me by the waist. The girls gasped, and when I looked at Stella, Alex had already taken her hand.
Skyler helped me with my luggage and held my waist as we walked to our tent. When I saw the setup, I gasped in surprise. "Wow!" The tent was decorated with roses, our favorite flower. Skyler smiled, asking if I liked it. I touched the roses, saying, "Yes, it's so beautiful."
Skyler asked if I was hungry, and I said yes. He gave me rice and fish, and as I ate, I suddenly remembered something. "Did you let Steed out?" I asked. Skylar looked guilty, and I knew he hadn't. I gave him an unbelievable look. "But I told you," I said. He replied, "I just can't." I insisted, "You'll release it tonight, no arguing."
Stella's POV:
Alex took my hand and led me to our tent. When I got inside, I saw different love drawings and said, "Wow, Alex, have you been drawing these?" He replied, "Yes." I said, "It's so beautiful." Then, he pinned me to the wall and said, "But not as beautiful as you."
I was blushing hard inside, but I tried to play it cool. "Really?" I said. Alex replied, "Yeah." He used his powers to bring out a yellow rose and said, "You know, the color yellow symbolizes happiness." I said, "I know." He told me to look into his eyes, and when I did, he said, "I've done all these for you, but I was afraid to tell you."
I asked him why, and he said, "I was afraid you didn't feel the same way." Then, he asked, "Stella, would you be my girlfriend?" When he saw my hesitation, he looked disappointed and said, "If you don't feel the same way, it's okay. Just tell me your feelings."
I looked at him and said, "Are you kidding? I've been waiting for this moment my whole life!" I kissed him, and for a moment, I froze, realizing what I was doing. Alex kissed me back.
Alexander's POV:
I felt so happy that I had finally expressed my feelings to her. I was nervous at first, but I gathered my courage and told her how I felt. Luckily, she felt the same way, and finally, she was my girlfriend.
After she kissed me, I felt a little embarrassed, but I kissed her back. At that moment, her stomach growled, and I said, "You must be hungry. Let me go prepare something for you to eat." I went to the kitchen to prepare rice.
Elena's POV:
We finally arrived at the romantic picnic, and I was eager to see Stella. But when I saw her, she was only happy to see Rose. Immediately, Rose saw Skyler, she went to hug him, and Skyler held her waist. I felt so angry and hungry. I quickly took my luggage and told Rachel to hurry up so we could go back to our tent.
When we got to our tent, I was seething with anger. Rachel calmed me down, and I took the juice she offered me. I told her to call Oliver so we could plan something.
Rachel's POV:
When we got off the bus, I knew Elena was very jealous and angry, seeing Rose with Skyler. This is getting out of hand; I need to tell her this is obsession, not love. When we got to our tent, she was pacing around, her eyes flashing with anger. I quickly used my magic to prepare her a juice and told her to calm down.
She collected herself and calmed down, then told me to call Oliver so we could plan something. I called Oliver five times, but he didn't pick up. I told Elena, and she said, "That son of a bitch. No worries, we'll see him tomorrow. Let's just get something to eat and then go to sleep." I agreed.
Oliver's POV:
Since I got to the picnic, I couldn't stop thinking about that intoxicating scent. I was restless, my mind racing with thoughts. What if that's my mate? I tried to stop thinking about it, but I couldn't. I decided to sleep, hoping to clear my mind.
Then Rachel called me, but I wasn't in the mood to pick up. I put my phone on silent and ignored the call, falling asleep.
Skylar's POV:
It was already night, and I knew Rose meant what she said: we were releasing Steed tonight. She came towards me and said, "It's going to be alright." I looked at her and asked, "Are you sure?" She replied, "Yes," and gave me a reassuring kiss.
I told her, "Hope you know that once I release him, he'll block me." She told me not to worry, and I agreed. I released Steed, and then I fell into total darkness.
Steed's POV:
He finally let me out, and I knew it was because of Rose. We were supposed to be one, but he always blocked me, so I decided to block him out. That's when I felt a sharp pain in my eye; the corruption had started again.
Rose looked at me, and I thought she'd be scared seeing me like that, but her expression showed concern. I managed to speak, saying, "The witch has started to take over me." I grabbed Rose and began to drink her blood greedily. She tried to release herself, but it was too late. She collapsed in my arms.
What do I do? I've killed my mate.
