Chapter 306 - Three Hundred And Six -The Gods Were Silent (1/2)

The third point of view:

Reina felt horrible. To make matters worse, the sun filtering through the open window didn't help her hangover at all. She moaned, her eyes stirring open.

What the hell happened to her? Where was last night? What happened to last night? Why was it morning already? Questions upon questions assaulted her brain which worsened the headache.

Why do people even drink? It was obvious that hangover was a great mood killer yet humans still kept coming back for more? Were humans a sucker for pain or something?

With a loud earth-shattering grunt, Reina drew herself so she could sit up on her bed. Her body ached; every fiber of her being hurt. It was almost as if she was run over by a truck, then died, resurrected, yet got hit again and continued the procession all over again - this was the worst hangover she had ever experienced in her entire life.

Reina couldn't remember anything from last night but she had no doubt it had been goddamn crazy - she just hoped she hadn't done anything she would come to regret. With that thought in mind, she yawned in an unladylike manner and turned to the side only to get startled out of her mind.

”Son of the devil!” She exclaimed from extreme shock upon seeing Niklaus sitting on the chair beside her bedside.

What the f*ck! Was she now seeing things?!

The last thing she remembered from last night was finishing that kegstand challenge, everything else was blank, like a long stretch of darkness.

Was she still drunk? Was she dreaming?

She cleared her eyes with her hand yet that devilishly handsome face still sat where he was and seemed to have a dark smirk gracing his breathtaking features.

This is crazy, Reina thought to herself. Did she just miss him that much that she was now conjuring his image? Only alcohol could cause this, she's wasted! There was no hope for her! Reina lamented.

So to ensure she wasn't dreaming, Reina slapped herself on the face and shit! That was painful. However, the imaginary Niklaus still sat where he was.

Damn! That must be a strong imagination!

So to destroy this currently annoying - she had a feeling that the strippers eventually came last night - guilt in her heart, she reached out hoping to destroy this image. Reina had expected her hands to go through him like air, after all, he was her imagination, however, she touched flesh; warm, smooth cheek.

No...way

”Are you done?” Niklaus' brow lifted arrogantly while his smirk deepened - it held a grave promise of what was to come.

”Ahhh!” Reina tossed her covers aside and jumped out of the bed. Like someone who's seen a ghost, she barged out of the room and ran down the flight of stairs still screaming only to bump into someone.

”Hey, easy, look where you're going,” she heard a deep chuckle as someone tried to steady her.

Reina shivered, a bad premonition. She glanced up, Eden.

”Ahhh!!!” Reina's scream went up a notch as she covered down the rest of the stairs. What the hell was going on? Why were Niklaus and Eden here? What happened to her bachelorette party?!

Still wailing like a banshee, Reina ran into the living room only to stumble upon the scene of Judy sitting like the prince he was and sipping a cup of coffee - oh no, not him too.

With nowhere else to run to, Reina stood like a statue and continued her screaming - this had better be a nightmare. Someone, please tell her that this was a dream inside a dream and that very soon, she would wake up and there would be no Niklaus, no Eden nor Judy, just she and the girl….

Reina's eyes widened to the size of saucers when she saw the girls in question sitting docile like tamed cats on the long couch. Oh no, there was a fire on the mountain.

And that was further confirmed when she turned around to see Niklaus striding towards her with his towering frame, she suddenly felt too little.

Reina began to back away from him but of course who was Niklaus, a big bad bully who was enjoying the guilty and frightened look on her face.

In the process of moving back, Reina didn't look properly where she was going and tripped over a stool from behind. She would have landed on her ass hard had Niklaus not reached out and caught her by the waist.

”Going somewhere, Tigress?” he still had that irritating brow raised, ”I bet you must have had a lot of fun last night,”

Reina gulped down the lump in her throat while shifting uneasily on her feet. She recognized that look on him - she wasn't going to get out of this one easily.
