A wish upon a… star?

I have to get out of here. I couldn't believe my father would side with him, this is not the 1950's and I don't want to be bear footed and pregnant. I want a career, success and maybe then a family after I find my dream guy. I looked around the room to make sure I didn't leave anything behind.

I took a deep breath and grabbed my bag with all my things and left my room. As I walked down the stairs I could still hear them laughing and having a good time, like squashing all my hopes and dreams don't matter, like I'm so insignificant. But I won't take this anymore, I'm done.

I hit the last step and walked towards the doors, as soon as I grabbed my keys the room fell silent. I looked back and saw my father and him staring at me quietly. I shook my head and reach for the door.

"Where are you going Bells?" asked my father.

"I'm leaving." I simply stated.

"Don't be a silly girl, you belong here with us, with me." I looked over to my father and saw him nodding in agreement with him.

"Tomorrow you can speak with my mother and sister about our wedding and what would be expected of you once we are married." I looked at him like he lost his mind. What wedding?!

"What wedding?" I asked, because unless I've lost my mind he has not proposed, not like I would have said yes.

"Ours, your father has granted us his blessing just now, all we have to do now is pick a date. I want it sooner rather than later. I want us to start having babies right away." He is really fucking crazy. My father had a big smile on his face.

"Dad is this what you really want for me. To be trapped in some arranged marriage, unhappy, a housewife, with a house full of kids I don't want?" I really wanted to know, because I couldn't believe that is what he wanted for me. He opens his mouth and then closed it, looking pensive. Like he was thinking about the right answer or maybe finally hearing me out.

"I think this is for the best. A woman shouldn't be out there in the world, getting ideas. A woman's role is at home, to take care of their husband and kids, nothing else. Look at your mother, I don't want you turning out like her. I want better for you."

"I see. Since I don't agree with either of you I will be leaving now. You will not stop me, I am 25 years old and I will make decisions about myself without any input from the two of you. If you loved me and knew me, dad, you would know that I would be very unhappy with your decision. I don't want to be married or have kids, especially with him." My father furrows his eyebrows then shook his head at me and looked disappointed. That hurt but I will not make someone else happy if I'm going to be miserable.

"Isabella, if you walk out that door I will hunt you down and make you hate this life even more than you do now. I'm being nice and speaking with your father respectfully, you will meet with my mother and sister and set a date. You are mine!" He said sternly almost yelling like he was speaking to a child. I looked at my father and saw him nod his head.

I couldn't believe it, he never raised me like this, he always encouraged me to be strong and independent. I looked at him sadly and opened the door. Took one more look at him and walked out. I ran to my car as fast as I could without falling on my face since it was raining, I hit the unlock button and climbed in, throwing my things in the back seat and locking the door at the same time.

I hear the front door slam, and I push my key into the ignition and turned my car on. I see him running my way, I put it in reverse and back out of the driveway.

"Isabella, get back here. You will pay for this. I will destroy you." I heard him say as I put it in first and drove off. He used to be my best friend growing up, once upon a time I used to love him but he changed. He got possessive, demanding and suffocating. I couldn't take it anymore and broke it off. I was only home to see my father before starting my next journey but nothing went as planned. But I won't let him destroy me, he can't. I will do anything in my power to be what I set out myself to be. I will be powerful, successful, brilliant and no man will ever have any power over me, he will be my equal.

I had to pull over, my angry tears were making it difficult to see and the last thing I want is to die. Coming up the train tracks I pulled over right before them to get cleaned up. While holding a tissue I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath to calm down and letting it out. I opened my eyes and saw a shooting star.

Starlight, star bright,

First star I see tonight,

I wish I may, I wish I might,

Have this wish I wish tonight.

The Dorling Kindersley Book of Nursery Rhymes (2000)

"I wish to have power, success, and a handsome man by my side that will listen, share and be my equal in all the ways that count." I made my wish, closed my eyes and rested a moment with my head on the steering wheel. I knew I needed to get a move on. He would have left the house to follow me or call one of his followers to track me. Lifting my head I looked in front of me and screamed there was a man standing to the right of my car, leaning against the light post.

I looked around and there were no other vehicles, how did he get here? Is he one of his lackeys, come to collect me and bring me back to him? I looked at him again and he shook his head no. No to what I have no idea since I didn't say anything at loud and with this rain I really don't think he could have heard me. But it doesn't matter, I need to get out of here right away. I put my car into first to move but my car wouldn't. I checked to make sure I took the parking brake off and I have. I tried again but the car wouldn't move.

Now I'm panicking. I need to leave right now. I looked up to the man and he wasn't there anymore. A knock on my windshield made me shriek and jump out of my seat.

"Please Isabella, calm yourself. I'm not here to harm you."

"Who are you? How do you know my name?"

"I am part of your wish."

"Huh? How do you know about that? Who are you really?" This is not real, there is no way my 'wish' come true. It was wishful thinking on my part, I didn't think it would become real. I could hear my heart beating faster and faster. I think I was having a panic attack. Then suddenly I feel myself calm down, I didn't understand but I went with it. I took a deep breath and I could feel my heart rate slowing down.

"That's it, just relax sweet girl. Is going to be ok." I looked over at him and he gave me a devilish smile. The rain had stopped, so I decided to come out of my car. I gestured to the door and he backs away. I get out slowly, keeping the door semi-open in case I need to rush back in.

"Please explain."

"My name is Jasper Andrew Whitlock, ma'am. I am part of your wish and I can make your others come true, but before you accept, it comes with consequences. Nothing is ever free in life."

I looked him over, he is tall, blond, sparkling blue eyes that shine even in the dark and so handsome. He is wearing black jeans, black boots, black button up shirt, and a black cowboy hat. Holy shit, he is hot, and straight out of my fantasies, all he is missing are tattoos that I can't see. I locked eyes with him and I can see myself with him, especially in bed, we would set those sheets on fire.

He smirks and raises his eyebrow at me. I want to say yes but I shouldn't be any more stupid that I've been. I need to find out what the consequences are.

"Have you heard of a crossroad demon?" I shook my head.

"Normally this job is for my demons, but something told me to come instead. Anyways a crossroad demon grants humans wishes for the exchange of their souls and going to hell once the time is up. Every wish is different so the time frame for the human to enjoy said wish, well it varies."

"So.. are you a demon?"

"No my dear I am more than that. I am the Prince of Darkness and upon you accepting me as part of your wish, you will become my Princess and have all the success and power you might want."

"And the consequences?"

"You won't be human anymore. I will turn you to be like me, and it will be painful. You won't be able to leave me either."

"What about him? would he be able to make my life miserable like he said?"

"No love, he can't. Once you are mine you can destroy him if you want, or do whatever you want. But for now what is it that you most desire?"

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and made my wish…..

Thanks for reading, please leave me some love.
