The Future of Princess Sabina
Chapter 4 & 5

Chapter 4: The Friday Before the Party.

On Friday night, I met Eric at Bondi Junction. He looked dashing, wearing a MJ Bale navy blue suit, a white shirt, and a yellow tie. This makes me relieved. If I am going to help my secret brother win the girl of his dreams, his appearance is very important. I know what is inside is the most important trait in man, but one's appearance should not deter one from getting to know one's inner beauty. When I walked over to Eric, I watched him closely. He looked sweaty, agitated, and a little drunk. Oh Eric, why are you making everything so difficult for me?

I approached Eric with a smile and spoke. "Hi Eric, are you ready for a great opportunity with Lindsey?"

"Yes, he will definitely be mine" Eric said in a voice that echoed false confidence and arrogant arrogance. I shook my head and gave him a disapproving look.

" Eric, if you want me to help you, you better stop that arrogant act at once. Eric who I know , deserves a chance for love, Eric in front of me no. ” I declare

I said deflated Eric's false ego, and he looked at me sadly before he replied shamefully, “But I don't know how to act to make Lindsey, or any other girl, notice me.”

I looked at him with a sympathetic look and said, "Well, I'm not dragging myself to Joshua's place for you to hit on any girl, I'm going there to help you out with Lindsey."

"Okay, Lindsey is what I want, " replied Eric timidly.

" Good, "I said and smiled . I kept d with more serious tone. "First, I'll set some ground rules. You are there to build a good foundation for a future with your loved ones. If you were there just to get drunk, and make love, I'd never help you again. "

Eric looked at me with a confused expression and replied . "I don't understand . What's wrong with just relating***, without ties? ”

" There's nothing wrong with doing a casual **** relationship, but there's nothing I'm interested in helping you." I declare .

Eric looked at me for a moment, before nodding in acknowledgment. Eric says , “Oke. Let's do it your way . An etelah all, you are the one who made me an invitation.”

" Good, "I replied.

We chatted and gossiped for a while, before we decided to go to Joshua's house. I had planned to take the bus, but Eric chose to rent AutoCar Deluxe. AutoCar is the most common app for self-driving electric taxis in 2037, and AutoCar Deluxe gives us a self-driving Mercedes instead of the standard self-driving Toyota. It was nice to avoid the bus for once, and shortly after, we arrived at Joshua's mansion, located in Dover Heights.

Chapter 5: The Worst Party I've Ever Visited.

We came out of our Deluxe AutoCar outside Joshua's parents' house, and I realized that Eric had wisely spent extra money on luxury cars, seeing the number of expensive vehicles parked off-site. I saw a group of girls, dressed in short dresses and dressed in thick, entering the party in front of us. They all giggled and looked excited . An eta all, they have been invited to the exclusive 18th anniversary celebration of Joshua Harkins, whose father is one of the richest men in Sydney. It doesn't impress me much.

Excessive wealth only leads to corruption, and while I am convinced that I can become very rich, if I put my mind to it, I am convinced that I can be very rich, I don't really see how that would make me a happier person. I had a good life in my modest apartment, living with Mama and John. Adding 500 square meters of living room and three servants to our lifestyle will do nothing to improve our circumstances, quite the opposite . Having a big house, we would isolate ourselves in different parts of the house and rarely talk to each other.

We walked past the security guard and realized that Joshua's parents didn't have to spend money to make the party as extravagant as possible. There were hundreds of guests, and many waiting staff had been hired to look after our needs.

Joshua looked at us and walked towards me. She spoke confidently, “Welcome to my home, Sabina . You look ruined tonight. How do you like the party? ”

"That looks really good. Both Eric and I are happy to be here. ” I replied with false enthusiasm.

I noticed that Joshua's face twisted for a moment, he obviously didn't like me mentioning Eric. Shortly after, his confident attitude returned, and ignoring Eric's whereabouts, he spoke to me again, "Do you want a glass of Dom Perignon?" Eric put on a fancy smile, imagining champagne dropping a name that sells for a few hundred dollars per bottle, would impress me.

After a short pause, I replied, “No, I prefer a cup of tea, Earl Grey if possible. But I'm sure Eric would love to taste Dom Perignon. "

Hearing that I would rather have a cup of tea, than the French champagne I really liked, surprised Joshua, and he seemed a bit lost for words .

Finally, Joshua replied, "Are you really asking for a cup of tea, at an 18-year-old party, Sabina?"

I ignored the cynical question and replied with, “Yes, I have no interest in drinking alcohol. Thank you for offering. ”

Josh looked dumbfounded, but eventually, he gave up. He called out to a waiter and spoke, "A glass of Dom Perignon for me, a cup of Earl Grey for an amazing woman, and a bottle of Daft beer for Eric. I think that beer fits well with socioeconomic status. "

I gave Joshua a short look at his comments about Eric, but he ignored them. Instead, he spoke again, “I have to leave you, for now, because I need to attend other guests. Please attend my speech a little later. "

"Sure . " I answered casually.

When Josh left, I turned to Eric and spoke. "Why***** the man, taunting us like that!"

Eric shrugged his shoulders. "Yes, on the bright side, I prefer beer." Eric looked at me with a confused expression. “But, Sabina, you did drink alcohol . We celebrated your birthday last month, and I saw you drinking? ”

“I know, but I'm not here to lecture on the dangers of drugs and psychoactive substances. Sometimes white lies can be useful. ” I reply

After we received our drinks, we set out to find Lindsey and her friends. When we found Lindsey, I walked up to her, and gently grabbed her hand . I looked into his eyes, and spoke, "Hi Lindsey, Eric is here, and he's so happy to see you."

Eric's face flushed red from the mix of happiness and shame, and he was astonished by what he heard . But Eric finds himself quickly, and soon they engage in an interesting conversation. They seem to have a very good chemistry. I excused myself and walked away from the group. While I was overjoyed over helping my half-brother, I was also embarrassed about using my powers to influence Lindsey's mind. I am sure they will be a great and loving couple, but is it really my place to decide what will happen in the lives of others?

I was cut off from my philosophical thinking when Joshua approached me, looking drunk. "Sabina, I need to talk to you" he said.

"I'm all ears, "I replied.

Joshua leaned towards me, and whispered into my ear, "I need to talk to you personally. It's important."

I learned Josh. I could feel his flesh desire for me. Even though she could have had another girl at the party, she was obsessed with the person who rejected her, which was me. I was afraid of what might happen to Josh if I followed him into a private room, and I had to defend myself against him. Then I realized, that my prejudice against Joshua might cloud my judgment, and he deserved the opportunity to speak to me personally. After all, he had invited me to his party, a favor I had not given him yet, when I was 18. The least I can do is let him talk. After a few moments of silence, I spoke. “OK, Joshua. Lead way. ”

I followed Joshua into a room, and I became shocked when he closed the door after we entered and blocked the door with his body. Did he mean to rape me? Regardless, I have to try as hard as I can, to avoid anyone getting hurt. Joshua looked at me with a threatening look and said, “ I don't understand why you keep rejecting me, Sabina. Everyone thought I was a great catch ! I just found you so mysterious, I'm crazy about you. ”

I looked at him and replied in a calm voice, "Alright, then I suggest you find someone you like 'em, and take him out, because I'm not interested in you like that ."

"But why do you keep rejecting me?" Josh hissing.

“Yes, if you should know. I'm not looking for a partner now, and even if I were, I wouldn't find us compatible. Now please let me go, you make me uncomfortable. "

Josh looked at me, with evil eyes, full of desire and self-hatred. I've seen the same eyes before. The eyes of Dov Dorevitch, the enemy in my previous life. "No!" Josh exclaims. “I'll have you tonight, whether you want me or not. You better prepare yourself, Sabina! "

In my former life, as Sabina, the holy child of magic, I will be filled with sorrow for failing to purify Joshua's soul. But , my version of it , in the end failed, was torn to shreds by the demon Rangda , for being too naive and kindhearted .

I've learned my lesson. I will give Joshua one more chance to repent and save himself . Otherwise, he takes full responsibility for what will happen next. “Are you kidding me, Joshua ? You just threatened to rape me. Step aside and leave me alone or you'll regret it! "

At first, it seemed like my explosion was successful. Joshua was confused and did not know what to say. Sadly, the darkness soon returned to his eyes, and he said in a cold voice, “I'll pick you up tonight Sabina. I'll be the one to take your virginity, and there's nothing you can do about it. ”

After saying this, Joshua jumped at me, and pinned me to the bed. I realized that there was no way I could fight it with my physical body. After all, Joshua is a very fit and strong athlete, and physically I am just an ordinary girl. I grabbed Joshua's arm as he tried to take my pants off. I stared intently into his eyes and spoke in a commanding voice, "Joshua Harkins: With the power bestowed upon me by the True Maker, I command you , ' I command you , to let go of evil and repent of your sins!"

The effect was instantaneous: The darkness and the desire to dominate had left Joshua's face, and the person who was crying on the floor beside me, would almost have become pitiful , if he wasn't so explosive and unpredictable.

Most bad people will not just let go of evil. They may refrain from committing crimes for fear of punishment, but the desire to hurt others will always be with them. After leaving the room, I heard a sad roar, followed by a loud sound of broken glass. Joshua, shocked and conflicted from the forced influx of light, had broken a mirror, and turned to self-harm, or at least I assumed so, of the terrible noises coming from the room.

I have to warn Joshua's parents. I ran to Joshua's father and shouted, “ Mr Harkins! Josh has lost his mind. You should help him. He's in his room. " I did not stay to check their reactions; my body trembled because of the incident . I had to go home, meditate, and find my balance.

On the way out of the building, Eric saw me, and noticed something was wrong . "Sabina, are you okay? What's going on?" Said Eric .

"Josh ... he tried to rape me ..." I sobbed.

"Oh my God, I don't know what to say. Should I call the police? " Eric answered with worry over the wrinkles on his face.

" no. That's not necessary. Josh is a lot worse than me. " I answered calmly.

"What's? What do you do on that? ” Eric asked in amazement.

"I didn't do anything. Joshua's conscience caught him, aware of what he was going to do. I think he went crazy and turned to self-harm, but I don't know specifically when I ran away, ”I replied.

In the distance, I could hear the sound of an ambulance approaching, as I walked away from home. Eric followed me and spoke. "Where are you going, Sabina ?"

"I'll go home, "I replied.

“I'm coming with you . keeping you safe,” Eric replied.

"But what about Lindsey?" I asked

"If Lindsey doesn't appreciate that I should take you home safely, then she's not the right one for me" Eric replied with confidence .

"Thank you" I said as we entered the approaching AutoCar that would take me back to a comfortable two-bedroom apartment in Maroubra.
