Masquerade Ball Pt.2


3RD POV

"YOU GET YOUR DIRTY HANDS OFF OF HER!" Robert demanded, staring at them with disgust. Daenerys was next to her fiance, looking down at them with horror. We should have paid more attention to her more, she thought if they hadn't noticed Imogen could have been raped.

"Imogen," Daenerys spoke, starting to walk down before Robert grabbed her.

"Honey, you can't go down there on your own," He whispered, looking deep into her blue innocent orbs.

"Darling, I can't just stand here, I have to go help her up, she's terrified right, I'll be fine," she assured him. Robert knows how determined Daenerys can be, so he lets her go help, Imogen. 

Daenerys walked down cautiously, making sure no one would try to grab her. Once she reached Imogen she bends trying to help the sobbing girl up.

"Don't worry, Imogen you're safe now," Daenerys consoled her, rubbing her back and zipping her dress back up. Imogen was relieved having someone calm her down, she wasn't dying tonight thanks to them. Imogen saw from the corner of her eye that a man was getting ready to hit Daenerys.

"DAENERYS," Robert and Imogen yelled. The man was getting ready to stab Daenerys but Darius intervened grabbing his arm, holding back with all his strength. Darius squeezed his hand, getting him to the drop the knife to the ground. Darius had a feeling in his gut that they would try something, so he made sure to be close by to help just in case.

"Thank you, Darius," Daenerys spoke, rubbing his shoulder. She helped Imogen up and started walking back to where Robert was with Darius guarding them. Frankie was there, ready to console Imogen, she even brought little chocolates to make her feel better. 

Lucas and Drew were both filled with rage, walking in to see the girl they care about almost getting raped. Lucas felt guilt in his heart, he left her on the dance floor all alone and gave them a chance to take her. His heart shattered more seeing how vulnerable Imogen looked, her face was drenched in tears.  

"Well, well so this is the famous Robert," the man smirked looking up at Robert from his chair "You could have joined in but fine," he spoke putting his hands up in defeat.

"Why are you here," Robert asked firmly?

"Taisla wanted to give you guys a message," The man said, lifting himself from the seat that was in the middle of the empty dark room. Imogen's body tensed up hearing that name, Taisla is her biggest nightmare.

"We don't care, tell her to leave us alone," Robert ordered. Robert didn't care what Taisla had to say. We can't trust Taisla; she's trying to kill the chosen one, she's only going to mess with our heads.   

"Well, I don't need your approval," he said, fixing his eyebrows with his fingers " She wanted me to give you," He said pointing to his side. A man came out from the dark, with a person who had a hood over their head. Robert's eyes fixated on the person, wondering who Taisla had presented. She's obviously doing this to get information out of us, we can't be foolish enough to fall for it, Robert thought. 

They pulled the hood off, showing a middle-age confused woman under it. Imogen was watching the whole thing unravel and couldn't believe her eyes. 

"Mommy?" Imogen wept, her mother was really in front of her, alive. Rebel turned around, meeting his mother's gaze. He hasn't seen her since five years ago, is she really in front of me, Rebel asked himself.

"Mommy is that really you," Imogen questioned, was the dream she had really the truth, that they were going to be reunited again? 

"Imi is that really you," her mother responded, her eyes welling up with tears. Robert had a feeling there was more to this then what meets the eye but he couldn't ruin a moment like this. Her mother starts running towards them and Imogen started dashing, meeting her halfway. 

Her mother pulled her into a warm embrace. Slowly, Imogen's shoulders relaxed, her arms curling around her body. She pressed her face into her neck, something Imogen used to when she was a child, her mother moved her hand to gently stroke her hair. Imogen's shoulder shook when she let her breath go, shoulders shaking as tears started streaming down her face and down her mother's neck. Her mother was whispering comforting words in her ear to calm her down.

Rebel walked toward, feeling his heart race a bit, would his mother still remember him? Imogen and her mother part, having his mother looking right at him. She came up close to him, placing her hand on his face, caress it. 

"My dear son," she wept, tears filled up in her eyes. Rebel put his hand on top of hers, feeling appreciated by her for once. She wrapped her arms around her son's body, comforting him. Rebel couldn't help but get overtaken by his emotions, he was just so damn happy to have his mother back.

"Taisla will be ready for the ritual," The man said, walking towards the darkness in the room. He disappeared, Darius and Julian, inspecting the whole room checking if anyone was still left. 

Daenerys embraced her fiance Robert, he caresses her head feeling at peace having her by his side again. Robert was frightened when he saw the man almost coming in contact with Daenerys. He was finally happy in his life, he can only wish it won't be taken away.  

-----------------------------------------

Everyone helped Daenerys and Robert clean around the mess that was left from other guests. Imogen and her family were engaging in conversation over the leftover food. Robert had extra clothes upstairs in one of the rooms which he offered to Imogen since her dress was torn. Imogen was comfortable now, not having her body out on display anymore. 

Daenerys was sweeping the floors, getting the garage all together so Robert could pick up and place it in a bag. Daenerys couldn't help but be disappointed with how the night went and Robert sensed it. Robert went up to his fiance and started rubbing her tensed shoulders.

"Honey, I'm sorry this happened but you knew it was a possibility," Robert spoke. 

"I know, I've been imagining this day for years, it was perfect in my head but Imogen suffered tonight while we were enjoying it," Daenerys guilty consciously confessed. 

"She's reunited with her mother now, look she's so happy," Robert pointed his hand at Imogen's direction for her to see. "If we have each other then everything is complete," Robert professed, kissing her head warmly.

"You're right as long as you're with me everything is complete," Daenerys smiled holding her finance's hand.

----------------------------------

Most of the house was cleaned up and most families started leaving. The only families left were Lucas's, Imogen's, and Littleton family. Imogen was saying goodbye to Kate who had to go put her children to sleep.  Daenerys and Robert were by the door saying bye to everyone for coming.

"Imogen we are leaving in a few minutes," Rebel said walking towards the door with her mother. 

Drew ended up leaving a little earlier than Imogen, his mother had an important issue and needed him right away. Imogen was packing some leftover food to take home since she loved the food selection they had. Lucas was watching Imogen wrapping her food, trying to build up the confidence to go up to her.

"Imi," Lucas spoke, catching Imogen completely off guard, her eyes widened when she turned to him. 

"Hi," Imogen nervously let out, feeling her heart start to beat out of her chest.

"I'm sorry about leaving you alone on the dance floor, I was just upset from seeing you dancing with Drew. I thought that this was your way of letting me know you pick him," Lucas fidgeting with his pockets.

"It didn't bother you when you were waving Kylie in my face," Imogen grumbled. Imogen thought it was unfair how Lucas was complaining, acting like he didn't do the same.

"We are just friends," he said sitting down in a chair as Imogen followed next to him.

"Really?" Imogen raised her brow.

"Kylie has been my friend for a while. When we broke up I couldn't stop thinking about you, you consumed my mind. Kylie helped me distract myself for an hour or two but in the end, I couldn't get you out of my head," Lucas confessed looking deep into Imogen's eyes. 

He reached into his pocket, pulling out a necklace. Imogen's eyes widened seeing the necklace again, it was one she threw out the window. How did he get it? The necklace has evolved, it no longer was a heart but Imogen's birthstone.

"I got it remade the day after we broke up," Lucas admitted, feeling his fingers clam up, "Seeing you with Drew just made me noticed that I'm in love with you Imogen Blake," Lucas confessed, licking his lips nervously. No one has said I love you yet, Imogen didn't expect him to say it tonight.

"I love you, Lucas Harding," Imogen confessed, her cheeks flushed pink, her lips forming a huge smile. Lucas got up from his seat going behind Imogen as she moved her hair to the side. Lucas clasped the necklace on her neck, struggling a few times from the sweat that was on his fingers.

Imogen was beaming looking down at her neck, seeing Lucas engraved in it. Having the necklace back, made Imogen so happy she regrets destroying the original one. Imogen got up from her seat and looked at Lucas, stroked his cheek. Lucas leaned forward and she leaned towards him. Their lips connected gently, then slowly their lips started to collide together, their tongue explored each other's mouths. Imogen's hand ran through his hair while Lucas's hands were placed on her waist.

"Imogen we-," Rebel interrupted their moment, feeling really awkward, looking the opposite direction of them. "Sorry- about- th-" he stuttered "The car is waiting for you," he said leaving the room.

Imogen and Lucas burst out into laughter struggling to gather their breaths. Imogen and Lucas walked out together hand and hand. Imogen felt the fireworks coming from their palms, her heart was racing, pounding at a fast pace like Lucas's. 

"Thank you for coming tonight," Daenerys engulfed Imogen into a loving hug. Imogen was so thankful for Daenerys, she helped her when she needed it. "Be careful getting home," she said holding onto my hands.

Lucas took Imogen's hand and looked at her palm in his. Then he took her fingers and placed them on his lips and kissed them gently. Imogen saw from the corner of her eye, Daenerys was giving a thumbs up of approval and winked at them. 

Lucas walked Imogen to her car and kissed her goodnight. They didn't want to leave each other but Imogen had to catch up with her mother. For the first time in forever, Imogen felt complete, she had the boy she loves and her mother back.
