THANE'S POV
My little sister just reprimanded me for that girl who I disliked. Elena was always ranting about how she'd love her fairy, how she'd cherish her unlike me who didn't appreciate her. She talked non stop about what they'd do together, where they'd go and how close they'd become.
When Elena told me that she would love and take care of her fairy godmother I didn't take it that serious. Elena had always wanted to meet Mahira. I don't understand how my sister could love someone so much.
I remember Mahira had told me the same thing. Mahira had claimed to love Elena truly. I thought it was obsession. I always pitied that girl. She seemed like she had no purpose in life and God she acted like a lost puppy around me.
At times her actions and character was cute and it made me smile but I don't understand why but that woman just makes me smile and my heart aches when she's in pain.
My emotions are just fucked up I don't think I'd like to figure out why I feel the way I do around her. I'd rather avoid it or pretend it doesn't exist. But it's not love. I can't fall in love with her. I don't like her, do I?
End of Thane's POV
Elena helped Mahira rest on her bed. Mahira kept blabbering nonsense and her speech was slurred.
" Fairy, please lie down. You are not doing well. Now that I'm here, I will take care of you okay."
Elena's voice was sweet and melodious. Mahira looked at the familiar child but her vision was blurry.
" Why are you calling me….why….why are you…. Calling…. Calling…. Calling me fairy?"
Elena wanted to cry looking at the woman's state. She looked so broken, as if it was taking everything in her to pull herself together even a drunken state her pain didn't need a mirror to reflect it. Mahira's phone started ringing. Elena took it out and answered the call.
"Hello."
It was Kaashvi who had called and she was furious.
"Mahira, did I leave you in America for you to misbehave huh? Why did you go to Thane's wedding? How could you do that? You used $20 000 just so you can attend Thane's wedding dressed up like a fuckin bride. I gave you my card so that you could go to London not so that you can…."
Kaashvi's word's where cut short by Elena
" I'm sorry madam, it's Elena speaking not Mahira. Actually…..uhm….. Mahira is not in her senses, she just fell asleep a few minutes ago."
Kaashvi immediately hung up.
Elena watched the beautiful woman sleeping until she fell asleep on her chest. Ms. Sofia Carson ( Thane's mother) found Elena sleeping with Mahira. All of Mahira's jewelry was set aside on the desk cupboard next to Elena's bed.
She recognized Mahira as Thane's obsessive love sick girl.
The next morning
Elena's POV
I woke up very early due to hunger. I forgot I didn't have dinner last night. I was so enticed by fairy that I forgot I couldn't eat at the dinner table. The very sight of Ariana made me want to puke so how could I eat in the same table as her.
All she talked about was her life as rich family heiress and how much she spent on her ugly wedding gown. Even the most beautiful piece of jewelry turns ugly as long as it's on her.
I spent the night busy looking after Mahira that she forgot to eat. Dragging my body of the bed and tippy toeing to the bathroom I took a quick bath and wore a pair of jeans, a black designer t-shirt with ruffled shoulders and a silky ruffle slanting design. I matched the shirt with a black bow.
I descended the stairs, my bare feet making soft creaks on the step's. Everyone must be asleep now, I taught myself how to make waffles and a few basic pastries because unfortunately living with rich people is overbearing. They have time set for breakfast lunch and dinner and before and after that time you don't eat anything, at all
Not even a little bite. Pathetic actually. It took me 15 minutes to make the waffle mixture and 15 for it to get ready.
For a little touch up I put honey, whipped cream and blueberries. I cleaned up quickly and back to the room carrying a tray with breakfast. Mahira was now awake and she looked lost and confused.
Of course she'd be this way, no doubt that witch Ariana drugged her to humiliate her. If I'd known better I'd have ensured she didn't take a sip of that drink Ariana gave her.
The moment Mahira's eyes clashed with mine there was a glint of momentary delight which was soon replaced by shame. Maybe she remembered what happened yesterday.
" Elena…"
Mahira whispered, with tears in her eyes and disbelief. I really don't know about her but I wanted to hug her and tell her it's okay. To tell her I'm glad I found her. To tell her I've been searching for her and too ask her why she never tried to meet me or at least talk to me.
I set the tray down and hugged Mahira tightly.
" Don't worry fairy. You didn't do anything wrong, I wouldn't allow you to he humiliated like that."
" I'm sorry Elena. I don't know what happened. I would never try to humiliate your brother and taint his reputation."
Elena, " Ariana must've drugged you or spiked your drink. Maybe through the drink she gave you. "
Mahira, "Why don't you hate me? Why did you take care of me and why aren't you angry at me? I nearly ruined your brothers reputation."
Elena" I like you fairy and just because my family hates you doesn't mean I do too. You are special to me fairy. I'm not like my brother. I finally found you. Now I'm going to keep you by my side forever. I'll be your shield, your protector, your support system. I love you so much fairy and I will always take care of you."
Mahira" I'm sorry Elena. I embarrassed… myself and you fought with your brother because of me… and you."
Elena " You didn't Mahira. I would never blame you. I trust you. Ariana's to blame, she's cruel."
Mahira spoke tearfully" I humiliated Thane… I… I… said so many things…he must…be hurt because of me and…."
Elena" You love him fairy. That's nothing to be ashamed of. In fact he should be ashamed of himself. He's being such a bum chick."
Mahira" You trust me? How is that possible?. I don't deserve it . You…I'm sure you have only heard ill things about me…so how . You are just seven years old. You can be easily manipulated and convinced….so…how."
