《Alpha鈥檚 Other Halfs》 Chapter 1 ~Jaden¡¯s POV~ NO!!! This can¡¯t be happening¡­ No!!! Tears rolled down my eyes as I watched her lifeless body on the floor, covered in blood with her cloth torn apart. ~ a Few hours ago~ Walking down the hall, I heard two people whispering. It seemed as if there was trouble. The whispers were too low that I could hardly pick a word. Getting close, all I could hear was ¡°We have to let Lady Karen know, there¡¯s great danger¡­¡± Getting closer, they immediately stopped the whispers as if they sensed meing. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± I asked ¡°Nothing Sir?¡± They replied Murphy who was in charge of training me looked at the other man and gave him a sign to live ¡°What danger were you talking about?¡± ¡°Who¡¯s in danger?¡±I asked with curiosity ¡°Nothing young master, no one is in trouble.¡± He replied I knew he was hiding something from me. Something was wrong somewhere. He walked me to our usual training ground and urged me to practice but this time he asked me to go against him. Normally, he would always ask me to go against the other men but I wonder why he wants me to fight him now. Well, he should be prepared. I attacked first but before I could strike, I found myself on the ground. It happened so fast that I didn¡¯t see what wasing. No one has ever defeated me without struggle and no one can ever be that fast. But hey, he is Boss ¡°Get up and practice, we don¡¯t have much time?¡± He said and walked away It was clear that something was wrong with the look on his face and the tone of his voice. ¡°I must find out what¡¯s going on,¡± I said to myself Walking towards my mother¡¯s room, I discovered that Willow was in her room. I moved closer, this time carefully to avoid being noticed again. ¡°We have to do everything possible to keep him safe,¡± mother said ¡°I know, that means we have to leave as soon as possible,¡± Willow said ¡°And we have to leave¡­ He¡¯s here¡±e out young master, he said ¡°Can someone tell me what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Who are you keeping safe and who is after who?¡± I asked curiously ¡°No one my son¡± mother said ¡°Sooner orter he will get to find out, letting him know now would be the best?¡± Willow said ¡°What¡¯s he talking about, mother? I asked She let out a sigh, walked toward me, and led me to sit on her bed. ¡°My dear, certain things are going on that you do not know. Some packs most especially ¡°Eric¡¯s pack¡± are after you. And they would stop at nothing until you are dead¡± she said But why?, I asked ¡°That¡¯s because you are one of a kind. You are special. You are the only one who can turn to a wolf any time and still change back.¡± She said But¡­ She cut me short and continued ¡°They are scared that you would overthrow them one day. They want to get rid of you before you be much stronger. They know that you have not be stronger yet.¡± ¡°You have to leave tomorrow with Willow, to be saved.¡± She added Willow looked at mother as if being displeased with what she said. What about you, mother? I asked ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me, I will be fine. You¡¯ve got to be safe first. Our future depends on your safety.¡± She replied ¡°Their future?, How?¡± I thought to myself ¡°Can I take a walk?¡± I asked ¡°Of course.¡±She said then turned to Willow. ¡°Make sure he¡¯s safe¡± she added Willow nodded in response. I walked out of the room still in shock at what I just heard. So I¡¯m like a prey now. And Willow followed afterward.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. Far deep into the woods, ¡°Stop,¡± Willow said as I made a halt ¡°You don¡¯t have to beat yourself to it, it isn¡¯t your fault.¡± He continued ¡°You are the chosen one. It¡¯s your destiny to lead us. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll protect you with my life.¡± He said as I ran to him and hugged him. At first, he was surprised but he then responded and hugged me back. ¡°It¡¯s enough now, let¡¯s head home. Your mother must be worried now¡± he said as we walked back home. Getting home, we found the gates open. Everywhere was quiet. ¡°Something doesn¡¯t feel right,¡± I said and Murphy nodded in response. Entering the gate we found our men lying helplessly injured on the ground. One was still alive. Willow bent towards him and asked him what happened ¡°My¡­ Myd¡­ Mydy¡­¡± He said as he finally gave up. On hearing this, Harry hurriedly rushed to my mother¡¯s room and I followed. ~present~ NO!!! This can¡¯t be happening¡­ No!!! Tears rolled down my eyes as I watched her lifeless body on the floor, covered in blood with her cloth torn apart. I fell to my feet as I walked toward her. Mother!!! I let out a loud cry. ¡°It¡¯s okay, young master,¡± Willow said as he hugged me tightly. ¡°We have to leave now, I sense dangering¡± he added Still shocked at my mother¡¯s death, Murphy dragged me out of the room to the stables. He ced his hands on my shoulders and said ¡°You have to be strong, you have to stay alive just like you promised your mother.¡± We have to¡­ ¡°Get behind me,¡± Willow said as if he sensed danger He looked around but didn¡¯t see anything. ¡°Hurry, get on the horse now,¡± he said Quickly, I hurried and got on the horse and he joined me on the same horse Hahhh!!! We rode off into the woods. Suddenly our horse stop and refused to move any further. And was just turning around. Willow calmed the horse down and came down. ¡°When I say run, you run. Understood?¡± Willow asked I nodded in response Still looking around when suddenly five wolves came out of the woods. And they looked really scary. ¡°Run, now!!!¡± Willow shouted q I rode with speed knowing full well that two wolves followed me. Ahhhhhhhh!!! Chapter 2 Ahhhhhhhh!!! I fell off the horse. Stood up and realized that they had already caught up with me. They moved around me in circles. They both attacked me at the same time. It was one hell of a fight. I managed to defeat them but I had w marks all over me. I walked alone in the woods hoping to get help. But to no avail. I copsed right there in the woods. When I opened my eyes, I discovered that I was in a room. It looked quite weird. Herbs were all over the ce. I quickly stood up and looked around but there was no one. All the scars on my body were gone. There were no traces of them. ¡°Finally, you¡¯re awake.¡± Turned, ready to attack only to realize that it was a youngdy who stood in the dark side of the room just staring at me. Calm down, I¡¯m not gonna hurt you, she said ¡°Who are you?¡± I asked She chuckled and then walked out of the dark. I watched her every move as she walked. Gosh! She looked very pretty. I¡¯ve never seen anyone as pretty as she is. She has nice curves, yeah I could see it through her well-fitted gown, she has curly dark hair, and damn those eyes, she has charming blue eyes which reminded me of my mother. A teardrop fell from my eyes just at the thought of my mother. ¡°It¡¯s okay, you don¡¯t have to cry,¡± she said moving closer to me ¡°How did I get here?¡± I asked as she made a halt She answeredOwned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Thanks for saving me would be nice but anyway, I needed herbs for something, so I set out into the wood to find some, only to find you on the ground badly injured. I wanted to leave but couldn¡¯t so I brought you here, cleaned you up.¡± ¡°And yes, you¡¯ve been out for f**king 3 days¡± she yelled Oh no, Willow¡­ I quickly rushed outside to discover that we were in the middle of nowhere. All I could see were trees and birds flying around. Tried to see if I could find my way¡­ Boom!!! The next thing I knew, I was on the ground. Stood up and tried to move forward again and the same thing happened. ¡°What¡¯s going on? I asked¡± ¡°Don¡¯t bother, you can¡¯t get out?¡± She said What¡¯s this? Why can¡¯t I leave this ce? I asked furiously ¡°It¡¯s a kind of spell I use to keep myself safe,¡± she said ¡°It¡¯s called a containment spell¡± she added Containment what? I asked confused ¡°On my way bringing you to this ce, I noticed that I was being followed, so I used the containment spell to keep you safe and also be safe from whatever was after you,¡± she said ¡°I used the spell after I noticed that there were certain wolves that followed us looking angry.¡± I knew they were after you but didn¡¯t know why. ¡°So tell me why,¡± she asked It¡¯s none of your business, I replied By the way, my name¡¯s Rhea, what¡¯s yours? she asked Thanks for helping me out Rhea but you have to let me out now, I stated ¡°Gosh, you won¡¯t even tell me your name. Well, you can¡¯t just leave, with the way I see it, those wolves out there will just rip you apart the moment they see you.¡± She said You don¡¯t understand, I have to go now¡­ But she refused and said ¡°No, not until you tell me what¡¯s going on. And who or what are you, and why those wolves were after you¡± I went back in pacing around like someone who lost something. Looking out through the window, she pulled an old rocking chair into the shade under a tree and sat down facing upward. ~Rhea¡¯s POV~ ~past~ Growing up as a young girl, people saw me as a witch. They despised me and my mother. They would always say horrible things to me and my mother. But mother will always tell me not to listen to whatever they say. She said that I¡¯m a special child blessed with the gift of healing. A few yearster, my mother passed away and I was left alone. Many people said I killed my mother and so many other awful things to me. Walking around the market one day, I found a little girl who was injured. I wanted to live him there but her tears couldn¡¯t let me do that knowing full well that I could help her. Don¡¯t worry, everything is gonna be okay, I said to her and she nodded in response. I ced my hand on her leg and healed her. ¡°Wow, thank you miss,¡± she said. You are wee, now be careful next time, okay? ¡°Okay miss, I will,¡± she said as she ran off to go and meet her mother. Mother look, that miss over there healed me, she said to her mother Her mother turned to see who her daughter was talking about and as soon as she set her eyes on me, she asked her daughter to go inside. I waved at her but she looked at me with so much despise. I covered my head and went back home angry at what happened. Getting home, I walked straight to my room andid down on my bed. ¡°Rhea¡­¡± Who¡¯s there? I asked I heard someone call my name. Looked around and found nobody. Even checked through the window but couldn¡¯t see anyone. Maybe it¡¯s all in my head, I concluded. I was about toy down when I heard the voice again and this time I knew it was not just my imagination. It kept calling out to me. I followed it and it lead me to my mother¡¯s study room. What the hell is going on? I asked, not minding that there was nobody to answer. I looked around just to be sure that no one was there. ¡°Rhea¡­¡± The voice called out again. Still looking around trying to find where the voice wasing from ¡°Rhea¡­ I¡¯m here¡± Gosh, it wasing from the box whichy close to the table. Moving closer to the box, I bent down and knelt in front of the box, and tried to open it. But it was looked. Where could the key be?, I asked I searched for the key but couldn¡¯t find it. Oh, I remember seeing my mother putting something in a little bag in her wardrobe. I went to her wardrobe and found the key in the little bag then went straight to the box and opened it. What the hell?¡­ Chapter 3 What the hell? To my greatest surprise, all I found in the box was a very big book. ¡°Grimoire (A book of the spell)¡± Wow!!! This looks a bit creepy. I opened the book and found many ancient spells and rituals written in it which got me thinking¡­ ¡°Was my mother a witch?¡± I asked myself Days went by and all I did was go through the book. And one night, something in the woods called out to me. It was a female voice. ¡°Help him please, he needs your help,¡± the voice said. I hesitated at first but when the voice persisted, I picked up thentern and decided to go into the woods and find out what was wrong. Kept walking and walking deep into the woods and couldn¡¯t find anything or anyone. I was about to give up when I saw someone on the ground who seemed lifeless. Drew closer to the person¡­ ¡°Oh, God!!!¡± I became scared and decided to run back home but something stop me from running. Looking down, I saw a hand holding my gown, ¡°Please, help me,¡± he said as he lost consciousnessThis is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. I almost left when I remembered the voice I heard ¡°Help him please, he needs your help¡± I can¡¯t just leave him here but how am I gonna carry him. Thinking of how am going to carry him to my house, I remembered a spell I came across in the spellbook. ¡°The Ascendio spell¡± It¡¯s a spell that can make someone ascend on air and fly. I¡¯ve never tried it but there¡¯s always a first time. I dropped thentern, closed my eyes, and began to chant the spell. opening my eyes, I found myself above the grounds¡­ Wow!!! This is amazing. I couldn¡¯t believe it I¡¯m in the air defying gravity. I took the same spell on him hoping it would work on him too. Immediately, his body started to float in the air. I manage to grab thentern with one hand and with the other I held his body and directed him to my house. Getting home, I chanted the ¡°Descending¡± spell and we both came down to the ground. I dragged his body into the house and came back for thentern only to discover some wolvesing towards the house. I had no other choice but to use the ¡°Containment spell¡±. They couldn¡¯t get in and yes, neither can we expect if I reverse the spell. Well, at least we are safe for now. I went back inside to help him heal. Three dayster, ¡°Ahh!!! Mother!!!¡± he screamed out before waking up finally. I stood in the dark part of the room watching him very carefully. Finally, you are awake. I said and he turned to me about to attack. Calm down, I¡¯m not gonna hurt you, I said with a reassuring face. He let down his hands and asked ¡°Who are you¡± I chuckled and then drew closer to him but observed that his eyes were all over my body. My eyes met his gaze and a teardrop fell from his eyes. I knew he was in pain. ¡°It¡¯s okay, you don¡¯t have to cry,¡± I said moving closer to him ¡°How did I get here?¡± He asked as I made a halt ¡°Thanks for saving me would be nice but anyway, I needed herbs for something, so I set out into the wood to find some, only to find you on the ground badly injured. I wanted to leave but couldn¡¯t so I brought you here, cleaned you up.¡± I said not wanting to tell him about the voice ¡°And yes, you¡¯ve been out for f**king 3 days¡± I yelled Oh no, Harry! He said as he rushed outside. I wanted to stop him but he left the room in a rush and I followed him and made a halt at the door. Boom!!! Ouch, that would hurt. I watched as he hit the ground. No, don¡¯t, I said as he tried to leave and the same thing happened to him ¡°Don¡¯t bother, you can¡¯t get out?¡± I said What¡¯s this? Why can¡¯t I leave this ce? He asked ¡°It¡¯s a kind of spell I use to keep myself safe,¡± I exined ¡°It¡¯s called a containment spell¡± she added Containment what? I asked confused ¡°On my way bringing you to this ce, I noticed that I was being followed, so I used the containment spell to keep you safe and also be safe from whatever was after you,¡± I exined further ¡± I used the spell after I noticed that there were certain wolves that came around looking angry.¡± I knew they were after you but didn¡¯t know why. So tell me why I asked ¡°It¡¯s none of your business,¡± he said By the way, my name¡¯s ¡°Rhea¡±, what¡¯s yours? I asked Thanks for helping me out Rhea but you have to let me out now, he replied ¡°Gosh, you won¡¯t even tell me your name. Well, you can¡¯t just leave, with the way I see it, those wolves out there will just rip you apart the moment they see you.¡± Stated said You don¡¯t understand, I have to go now, he pleaded But I refused and said ¡°No, not until you tell me what¡¯s going on. And who or what are you, and why those wolves were after you¡± He went back inside and I pulled an old rocking chair to the shade under a tree and sat on it closing my eyes. ~present day~ Why were they after him? I thought to myself. Well, he¡¯s gonna have to tell me the truth before I will let him leave. I felt like someone was standing in front of me, immediately I opened my eyes and found him standing in front of me. ¡°The longer I stay here, the more danger I¡¯m getting you into,¡± he said. ¡°You¡¯ve got to tell me what¡¯s going on,¡± I replied reluctantly ¡°Okay, My name is Jaden, and I¡¯m a werewolf. Those wolves killed my mother and for them to have tracked me down here, that means Murphy, my trainer must be dead.¡± He confessed Shocked at what I just heard, I asked But why are they after you? Chapter 4 But why are they after you? I asked ¡°That¡¯s because I¡¯m a Hybrid.¡± He said ¡°I¡¯m still young, I¡¯ve not fully gotten my powers and I don¡¯t know the things I¡¯m capable of doing. My mother said Once I turned eighteen, on the next full moon, my powers will begin to manifest. And that is gonna be the next full moon toe, that¡¯s why they¡¯re after me¡± he added Oh gosh!! We have to keep you safe till then. ¡°We???¡± he asked ¡°Yes, we¡± I replied ¡°No, two people have already died because of me, I can¡¯t let that happen again¡± he stated ¡°Nothing will happen to me. Look, before I went into the woods the night I found you, I heard a voice, it was a woman¡¯s voice. It called out to me crying for help. Not for her but you,¡± I exined ¡°Are you being serious right now?¡± he asked in disbelief Yes, the voice led me right to you. She sounded really worried. I don¡¯t know who she is or why she wanted to help you, I exined further ¡°But you said you went to get herbs?¡± he asked Haha, I lied. You don¡¯t expect me to tell you everything, do you? ¡°By the way, what do we do now?¡± I asked. ¡°Because I can¡¯t let you leave just yet, you might get killed. I advise you justy low for now¡± I insisted He looked at me and then walked back into the house. *** ~Erics pack~ What?!!! ¡°I gave you a simple task and you failed to do it,¡± Eric said looking angry and pissed off. The next full moon is in the next twenty-five days toe, he was getting all worked up, stressed, and disturbed. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I promise to get him if you grant me another chance¡± a member of his pack known as Mike whom he sent out with others to kill Andy said. ¡°Second chance,¡± he said as he walked to Mike. Mike on the other hand trembled in fear because Eric is not known to be a man who gives second chances when you fail to do what he asks you to do. He feared this would be his end but he had to try his luck. As Eric came closer, he looked at Mike who was kneeling in front of him with his head bowed asking for a second chance, he walked past him. He was just a step away from him. Mike let out a sigh of relief when Eric turned back and slit his throat with his ws. There was blood ssh all over the ground. ¡°Clean up this mess,¡± Eric said as he walked out. Eric walked to his room looking angry, he went straight to the bathroom removed his cloth, and put on the shower to wash away the bloodstains on him. The thought of Jaden still alive shed in his mind as he clunge his fist and punched the wall. Soon after he was done, he put on new clothes and returned to the chamber where he killed Mike or should I say ripped his throat. Turning to Ryan who stood by the door, ¡°Gather everyone, we are going hunting,¡± he said as he walked into the chamber. ¡°Also, bring me the prisoner¡± hemanded *** ~Rhea POV~ After a while, I went into the room and found him pacing around. Hey, go have a bath. There are some new clothes in the wardrobe. Make your choice, I said to him and made my way to the kitchen to prepare something for us to eat. Oh God, what have I gotten myself into, I hope we survive this, I thought to myself as I walked to the kitchen. ~ a Few minutester~ He walked into the dining, his hair still a bit wet, looking at what he was wearing, I busted intoughter.Owned by N?velDrama.Org. Hahaha, you look so funny in those clothes, I said stillughing ¡°This was what I found in your wardrobe¡± he replied pointing at the shirt. Stillughing, anyway join me let¡¯s have something to eat, I said and his stomach grumbled in response. I let out loudughter which made him frown. I¡¯m sorry, I said still smiling. ¡°Yeah, like you meant it¡± he replied We ate in silence until he broke it. ¡°Do you stay alone?¡± He asked ¡°Obviously,¡± I replied ¡°Why?¡± He asked I stopped eating and looked at him for a while and replied ¡°I used to live with my mother but passed away and I¡¯m here alone¡± Now finish up, I said to him as I took my tes to the kitchen. Returning to the dining, he was done already and I took his tes to the kitchen and he followed me. ¡°What are we going to do now?¡± He asked. Surprised at the question, I turned to him, Earlier, I asked you this question and you just walked away. How am I supposed to know what we are going to do? Huh? I replied Well¡­ Suddenly, everywhere began to shake. It was as if an earthquake was about to ur. ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± He asked Not minding his question, I looked out through the window and discovered that there were some people outside and there was ady with them who seemed to be a witch. She was chanting a spell¡­ Oh No!!! We have to leave here now, it¡¯s not safe anymore. ¡°Why, I thought you said we are safe here?¡± He asked ¡°Yes, we are supposed to be safe here but there¡¯s a witch out there who¡¯s about to break down the containment spell and if we don¡¯t leave now, we are so gonna be dead,¡± I said frustrated at his silly question. ¡°How are we going to escape now,¡± he asked Let me think. I then remembered an underground passage in my house. My mother would always tell me that if there was danger, I should go through that passage. The door was in her room. ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go,¡± I said to Jaden as we rushed to my mother¡¯s room. I picked up a bag and put the spellbook in it. We made our way to her wardrobe which was the entrance to the passage. At the side of the wardrobe, on the sixth block, I pushed it in and the passage opened. ¡°Hurry, we don¡¯t have abundant time,¡± I said to him. Chapter 5 ¡°Hurry we don¡¯t have much time,¡± I said as I took thentern. The door closed as we entered. *** ~Erics POV~ ¡°Bring her over here¡± Eric ordered. They brought ady who was bounded with chains. She was a witch who was captured by Eric. He uses her for his evil deeds. Meanwhile, Erics¡¯ packs had already surrounded the house ¡°Break the spell,¡± Eric ordered ¡°I can¡¯t do it with this chain on my hand¡± the witch replied ¡°Very well then, release her but hey don¡¯t try anything stupid or I will kill you¡± Eric warned. Ryan released her from the chains and she stepped forward and began to chant a spell that would bring down the containment spell. Eric caught sight of ady who immediately closed the window when her eyes met with his¡¯. ¡°Faster,¡± Ericmanded ¡°I can¡¯t concentrate if you keep talking,¡± The witch said as she continued chanting. Finally, the spell was broken and they rushed into the building hoping to capture Jaden but they couldn¡¯t find anyone. They searched the whole house but couldn¡¯t them. ¡°Where are they?¡± Eric asked in frustration Ryan rushed into the room where Eric was, ¡°They are not here, I think they escaped,¡± Ryan said On hearing this, Eric turned to Ryan looking angry. His eyes turned red. Ryan feared for his life, he doesn¡¯t know what Eric was going to do next. ¡°Bring me the witch¡± Ericmanded They brought her into the house. ¡°Can you find them?¡± Eric asked She closed her eyes for a while and opened them. ¡°No, I can¡¯t for now.¡± The witch answered. ¡°This house was built with magic. It will be hard for me to break through. I just need time¡±. She added ¡°How long?¡± Eric asked ¡°Two days¡± she replied ¡°Two days!!!¡± Eric yelled in anger ¡°Or maybe one,¡± the witch said in fear of what Eric might do to her. ¡°Do whatever you have to, you have till midnight¡± Eric warned as he walked out of the room leaving Ryan there with her. *** ~Rhea¡¯s POV~ Walking through the passage, we got to a point where there were three pathways. ¡°Oh, perfect, now what?¡± Jaden asked.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. ¡°Could you just keep quiet and let me think¡± I replied. Then I remembered the direction spell which was used by witches when they get lost. ¡°Oh yes, the Direction spell!!!¡± I let out ¡°The Di¡­ What, you know what, just do your thing¡± he said ¡°Here, hold this,¡± I gave him thentern to hold. I chanted the direction spell and immediately two pathways at the sides shut close. The one in front of us was still open. After we entered, I heard a noise, it was as if the other two pathways opened up again. We walked for what seemed to be hours. Finally, we got to a door and made a halt. ¡°This is it,¡± I said to him as I opened the door. We found ourselves in a market filled with people and it was a day over here and back where we came from, it was night. Turning back, I discovered that the door was no longer there. Everything was so weird, it looked as if we just returned from the underworld. ¡°We have to find a ce to hide but for now we need a disguise. By the way, you can¡¯t go around looking like that,¡± I said as I chuckled ¡°Yeah, keepughing at me,¡± he said as we made our way into the market. We made a stop at a shop to get some clothes. It was an olddy that was at the shop. ¡°Come in, what can I offer you?¡± The old woman asked nicely. ¡± Uhm, we just want to get some clothes and we don¡¯t have any money but we promise to pay you back when we get the money if that¡¯s okay with you¡± I pleaded with her. Surprisingly, the old woman agreed. ¡°Yes, you can. You don¡¯t have to pay me back¡± the olddy said ¡°I knew this day woulde. Your mother used to help me a lot over here but it¡¯s so sad she¡¯s no more. But anyway, if you need anything, just let me know.¡± She added ¡°Thank you, ma¡¯am, we are grateful,¡± I said to her We changed our clothes and were about to go out when I realized that we had nowhere to go. ¡°Uhmm, ma¡¯am can I ask for a favor it¡¯s kind of like a big one,¡± I said ¡°Go on dear¡± she replied with a smile on her face. ¡°Okay, the thing is that we don¡¯t have a ce to stay and we were wondering if you could help us out. Just for a night or two¡± I said with a fake smile. She looked at Andy then turned to me, ¡°The both of you?¡± She asked ¡°Yes the both of us,¡± I said still wearing a fake smile. ¡°That¡¯s okay,¡± she said ¡°Gosh, I thought she was going to say no. But still, we have to be careful around her even though she ims to know my mother, ¡± I thought to myself. ¡°You have to help me pack up, so we can get going,¡± the olddy said I looked at Jaden who stood there staring at us without saying a word. ¡°Come on let¡¯s help her,¡± I said to him. After we were done packing, she locked up and led us to her house. OMG!!! Jaden and I looked at each other looking very surprised. Her house looked exactly like my house. We entered her house and when I say exactly, I mean every corner of the house looked exactly like mine. To my greatest surprise, I found my mother¡¯s pictures hanging all over her house. No way!!! There was a picture of me too in her living room. ¡°Who is she, and why does she have all these pictures of her?¡± I asked myself before I walked up to Jaden. ¡°Something¡¯s not right here¡± I whispered ¡°And what could that be?¡± He asked ¡°Here look, thisdy has my mother¡¯s picture all over, and to top it all, she has two of mine. Also, this house is just exactly like mine¡± I exined ¡°Yeah, I noticed¡± he replied ¡°So what are we gonna do now?¡± He asked ¡°Find out the truth¡± I replied Chapter 6 ¡°Find out the truth¡± I replied ¡°Just live that to me,¡± I said to Jaden. He nodded in response. I made my way to her kitchen trying to keep calm and y cool. I found her trying to wash some vegetables. ¡°Can I help you?¡± I asked ¡°Of course, ¡± she replied I hurried to help her cut the vegetables trying everything possible to keep calm. ¡°Is there anything you want to ask me dear?¡± she asked Surprised at her question, I said ¡°No¡± ¡°Why? Is there anything you want to tell me?¡± I asked ¡°No, I thought you might want to ask me something. Because your face says so¡± she answered. ¡°Actually, there¡¯s something I want to ask you,¡± I said ¡°Okay, go ahead dear¡± she replied ¡°I saw my mother¡¯s picture in your living room and to top it all you have two of mine and I don¡¯t know you, I¡¯ve never met you before so why do you have those pictures. I need the truth¡± I said ¡°I will tell you at dinner¡± she replied with a smile on her face. I helped her prepare the meal and we served it at the dining table immediately. I met Jaden in the living room he was already sleeping, I guess he has been tired and bored since he had no one to talk to. ¡°Jaden¡­ Jaden¡­¡± I called out to him to wake up He stood up immediately and asked what was going on. I told him nothing was going on. ¡°Come let¡¯s eat something,¡± I said to him ¡°Wait, did you find anything,¡± he asked ¡°Not yet¡± I replied We made our way to the dining and found the olddy already seated. ¡°Have your sit¡± she said nicely We sat down. The olddy started eating and urged us to eat. We ate in silence. After eating, I helped her clean up and wash the dirty tes. ¡°You both should have some rest now, we will continue tomorrow,¡± she said ¡°Okay, thank you¡± I said, feeling disappointed that she didn¡¯t tell me the truth and at the same time grateful for her hospitality ¡°There are two rooms over there. Let me know if you need anything, I will be at the room over there.¡± She said pointing at the room at the other corner of the house as she walks to it. ¡°Okay, thank you¡± I replied as I made my way to the living room. Jaden was sitting down. ¡°Did you find anything?¡± He asked? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. ¡°Not yet. But I¡¯m sure we will find something tomorrow ¡± I replied. ¡°For now let¡¯s get some rest,¡± I added I showed him to the room and I went into the room opposite his. ~Eric¡¯s POV~ Pacing around the room waiting for the witch to reveal where Jaden and thedy he saw were. ¡°If you keep moving like that, I won¡¯t be able to concentrate, ¡± the witch said Eric looked at her in anger. ¡°Get it done with,¡± he said as he left the room The witch continued to chant as he left the room. ¡°Found them,¡± the witch said On hearing this, Ryan rushed to inform Eric. ¡°Where are they?¡± He asked as he made his way to the room ¡°I¡¯m not quite sure where they are,¡± the witch said ¡°What do you mean you are not quite sure where they are?¡± Eric asked in anger as his eyes turned red Frightened at the look on Erics¡¯ face and eyes ¡°Buh¡­ But I can track them¡± she said in fear ¡°I¡¯m listening, ¡± Eric said She walked straight to the room that was Rhea¡¯s mother. To the wardrobe and pushed the sixth block at the side and the door opened. ¡°Keep running Jaden. I will find you wherever you are hiding ¡± Eric said as heughed devilishly. ~Alpha Derrick POV~ Alpha Derrick grew up not knowing who his mother was. All he knew was that she died after giving birth to him. He has always med himself for the death of his mother until one day, his father told him the truth. ¡°Derrick, you did not kill your mother. I was cutting woods outside the day it all happened. She was six months pregnant¡± There I was cutting woods to make fire for the night only to hear her scream from inside. I rushed inside to see what was going on only to find an ¡°Almost Extinct wolf-like animal¡± which I¡¯d never seen before. My nce went straight to your mother who was lying helplessly on the ground with her clothes torn apart and wolf scratches on her stomach. I turned to look at the animal that did that to your mother but it was nowhere to be found. I hurried and carried your mother to the bed. I clean her up. She was getting worse every minute so I had to rush to get someone who could help us. The thought of leaving her there alone was precarious. I hoped that the animal won¡¯te back while I was gone. I got help and came back to your mother who was lying half dead. ¡°Please do what you can to help us,¡± I said to thedy I brought to help us And she nodded in agreement. ¡°Please wait outside,¡± she said to me I walked outside, pacing around, feeling restless Ahhhhh¡­ I heard and rushed inside to see what was going on. ¡°She¡¯s inbor,¡± the woman said ¡°But how, she¡¯s just five months pregnant. She can¡¯t be inbor now¡± I said to the woman Ahhhhh She kept on screaming in pain. And finally, y she gave birth to you. ¡°Love him as you loved me¡± Were her final words. It was hard for me to back then. I thought you wouldn¡¯t survive but here you are. I watched you as you grew older. You were very different from other kids. I had noticed some changes in you. Like sometimes when you eat, you grew fangs. You used to love vegetables but as time went by you hated them, you always threw up each time you ate them. I think you are something extraordinary. We just have to find out before it¡¯ste. Chapter 7 ¡°I think you are something extraordinary. We just have to find out before it¡¯ste.¡± He said added The next day father took me to one of his friends who turned out to be a witch for help. She had two daughters. From the looks of both, one could tell who was the oldest. They were both young and beautiful. Getting to her house, he introduced me to the witch. ¡°I know why you are here,¡± the witch said as she looked at me ¡°Wait here, while I talk to your father,¡± she said as I looked at my father and he gave me a reassuring look. Pssst¡­ I turned to see who did that. ¡°Come and join us,¡± one of the girls said. As I walked toward them, they both chuckled which made me flush red. Getting to them, they offered me a sit and I sat down. ¡°I¡¯m Irene and this is my sister Karen¡± thedy who sat on the left side of the table said. I turned to Karen, who has curly hair, and damn those eyes were charming. And for a moment, I got lost in my thought. Something in me yawned for her. And for some reason, my heart raced. I couldn¡¯t understand what was going on. ¡°Derrick¡­ Derrick¡± my father called out to me and I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and walked to my father. Looking at my father¡¯s face, I could tell that something was wrong. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± I asked ¡°Nothing son. It¡¯s just that you have to stay here for a week or two. She said you have to be close for her to help you.¡± He answered ¡°But you don¡¯t have to if you don¡¯t want to stay¡± he added ¡°Well, if it¡¯s for my good, I will stay. I just need to pick a few things from the house¡± I replied ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will get them for you.¡± He said ¡°Okay, I will wait for you,¡± I said as he left. There I was in the corridor, thinking about what happened earlier. No woman has made my heart race that much. I¡¯ve never felt this way before about anyone. Her eyes were so charming and her¡­ ¡°Hey, what are you doing out here all alone?¡± There she was standing right in front of me. A voice kept ringing in my head ¡°Mate¡±. I don¡¯t know what it meant but all I knew was that thisdy was doing something to me that I couldn¡¯t exin. ¡°Uhmm, me?¡± I asked confused ¡°Yes, who else is here?¡± She asked looking at me in a funny way ¡± hmmm, nothing, I¡¯m just waiting for my father,¡± I replied. ¡°Okay,¡± she said I couldn¡¯t help but kept looking into her eyes which might have charmed me because they are charming. ¡°My mother said you would be staying for a while,¡± Karen said ¡°Yeah, so I heard¡± I replied A few minutester, my father came back and handsome things to me. And saidOwned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I wille to visit every time¡± and I nodded in response. ¡°Well,e let me show you to your room,¡± Karen said as she lead the way and I followed. The room was nice and lookedfy. ¡°If you need anything, let me know,¡± she said ¡°Thank you,¡± I said as she left. Iid down on the bed thinking about her till I slept off. The next morning, I walked out of the room into the living and no one was there. Looked out through the window and found Karen and Irene outside. ¡°Do you like her?¡± I heard someone ask ¡°Huh¡­¡± I turned and saw Karen¡¯s mother sitting down which was kind of weird because a few sec ago, no one was there. ¡°Come and join me,¡± she said as I joined her down. She stared at me in a manner I could not exin. ¡°I¡¯ve seen the way you looked at her, I mean Karen. Now tell me, do you like her?¡± She asked as I flushed red ¡°Anyway, that¡¯s not why you are here.¡± She said as she dropped the teacup she held. ¡°Follow me¡± she ordered I followed her and she took me to a room that I assumed was hers. There was a circle in the middle of the room and she walked straight into the middle and asked me to sit in the circle. We sat in the circle and she asked me to close my eyes. She started chanting. After a while, she was done and she asked me to open my eyes. She led me back to the living room where she said to me ¡°You are an extraordinary being, I¡¯ve never seen anything like it before. Among all the wolves I¡¯ve seen, you are very different ¡± ¡°Did you just say wolves, wait, I¡¯m I¡­¡± I asked ¡°Yes, you are a wolf but I can¡¯t tell which breed you are¡± she replied ¡°You have to stay with us in the meantime until we know that it¡¯s safe for you to be out there¡± she added as she walked out of the living room. Later that day, I decided to take a stroll around and found ake. Dived into theke to cool off. ¡°Hey¡­¡± Turned and found Karen standing in front of me. ¡°Hmmm, what are you doing here?¡± U asked confused ¡°Why, is it forbidden to be here?¡± She said as she chuckled ¡°No, it¡¯s not. It¡¯s just that¡­¡± ¡°Just that what¡­¡± She cut me off as she dived into the water My heart raced faster as I watched her swim around me. His curly hair was wet andid back. Her lips were so attractive that I imagined mine on hers. ¡°Oh, sh*t. What the hell is wrong with me, I¡¯ve never imagined such of any girl but this one, I don¡¯t know what she¡¯s doing to me?.¡± Lost in thoughts, I felt a hand on my back and I turned. There she was in front of me. Her wet lips were so enticing and inviting that I want to im them ¡°So, I heard you are a werewolf, an almost extinct breed.¡± She said ¡°Yeah, so I heard¡± I replied with my eyes still on her lips which even made my heart race faster. As I tried to process everything going on in my mind, she nted a kiss on my lips. Chapter 8 She nted a kiss on my lips. My heart skipped. Am I dreaming? Damn her lips were very soft. The feeling of her lips on mine sent goosebumps all over me. ¡°Hey, what are you looking at?¡± She asked which brought me back to reality. Oh, sh*t. I can¡¯t believe what just happened. It was all an imagination.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. ¡°Hey, are you just gonna stare the who day looking confused?¡± She said. ¡°Okay, fine. I will leave¡± she added as she turned to leave ¡°Please wait, ¡± I said ¡°Join me please,¡± I asked ¡°I thought you would never ask,¡± she said Shocked at her question, I watched her try to undress¡­ ¡°Turn around,¡± she said Huh¡­ ¡°Yes, turn around ¡± she repeated In disappointment, I turned back. I wanted to watch her undress. She joined me and it seemed as if my imagination ising to pass. I turned to look at her, my heart raced faster as I watched her swim around. Her curly hair was wet andid back. She swam close to me then I said to myself ¡°Yes, this is it. The moment I¡¯ve been waiting for¡± I looked at her lips which were inviting then up to her charming eyes. Something in me wanted to im her all that was ringing in my head was ¡°mate¡±. I decided to take the first step¡­ Karen!!! Karen!!! We heard her mother call. ¡°Sorry, I have to go,¡± she said as she made her way out of the water. This time, I watched her put on her clothes. ¡°Hold that thought, we still have an unfinished business,¡± she said as she left. Amazed at what just happened, I made my way out of the water too. Dressed up and went back to their house and found her mother sitting outside. ¡°It seems you had a nice day,¡± she said as I flushed red ¡°Yes, it¡¯s nice out here¡± I replied ¡°You know that¡¯s not what I mean¡± she stated I chuckled as I made my way to my room. Laid on the bed with the thought of what just happened. Finally, I got to know that she feels the same way about me. The next day, I took a walk in the woods. I noticed someone was following me. I knew it was Karen but I yed along till we got deep into the forest. ¡°You cane out now,¡± I said ¡°How did you know I was following you,¡± she asked ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that¡± I said ¡°Now to what do I owe this ambush,¡± I asked teasingly. ¡°Nothing, I just have an unfinished business,¡± she said ¡°An unfinished business huh,¡± I asked ¡°I don¡¯t remember doing any business with you,¡± I said looking straight into her eyes. Just before I could say anything, she kissed me. I thought it was my mind ying tricks on me but no it wasn¡¯t. I wrapped my arms around her waist and drew her closer to me and kissed her back. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me more. Things got out of hand, we couldn¡¯t stop and ended up making out in the woods. It was my first time and gosh she was a virgin. I felt really bad about what I did. I felt like I took advantage of her. I couldn¡¯t even look at her face. ¡°Hey,¡± she said as she held my face in her hands ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I too wanted this.¡± She said as she nted a kiss on my lips. We got dressed and went back to her house. ¡°Stop there both of you,¡± Her mother ordered. We made a halt in fear. ¡°What have you both done?¡± She asked ¡°Nothing,¡± Karen said. ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me girl, what did you do?¡± Her mother asked furiously ¡°We made out,¡± Karen said Shocked at what she said, I looked at her and then turned to her mother who looked disappointed at both of us. She walked out on us and went to her room. ¡°We are finished,¡± I said ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will fix this¡± Karen said I wondered how she was going to fix this. Her mother looked angry. She followed her mother to her room. I stood outside pacing around not knowing what to do. Irene walked past and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you are not gonna die. You are lucky¡± At this point, I didn¡¯t consider myself as lucky. Soon after, Karen walked out of the room with a frown and looked at me. At this point I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me but immediately, the frown turned to a smile and left me confused. She ran to me and hugged me which didn¡¯t make any sense. ¡°My mother gave us her blessings,¡± she said. Amazed at what she just said, I hugged her right and kissed her just then her mother came out and said ¡°Not a tear from her eyes, ¡± she warned. ¡°Yes, ma¡± I replied Soon after I took Karen as my wife, she got pregnant and gave birth to a triplet a boy, and two girls. Just then we thought we would live happily, a prophecy came that my son was going to be the strongest of all wolves on the next full moon after he turns eighteen. He was to rule over other packs alongside his sisters. Just then our nightmares began. One day, we were attacked by wolves, I killed the wolves and that was the first time I ever killed. Before I killed them, I asked one of them who sent them, and they said it was an alpha known as ¡°Eric.¡± And before I finally killed him, he said many more areing. To keep the children safe we had to separate them. Karen left with Jaden our son. Irene offered to help us with Rhea and her mother offered to help with Lucy. I stayed back to make sure they won¡¯t be followed. I killed many wolves that came to attack. I got to build my packs. And sent out one of my most trusted men Murphy with others to Karen and Jaden. Years passed, and I saw Murphy running toward me. He fell at his feet in tears and said ¡°Sorry, Lady Karen is dead¡± On hearing this my heart ached. My world came crumbling. ¡°And Jaden?¡± I asked ¡°He¡¯s safe for now¡± he answered ¡°Who did this?¡± I asked in anger ¡°Alpha Eric¡± he answered ¡°And I think if he finds out where Jaden is, he will go after him,¡± he added ¡°Go get yourself cleaned up, we have an unfinished business,¡± I said to him as I walked to my room. My heart ached to know that the only woman who made my heart race is dead. ¡°This is it, I¡¯ve had enough. Get ready, I¡¯ming for you Eric¡± I said looking at the mirror in my room Chapter 9 ~Rhea¡¯s POV~ Laying on the bed, I wondered what it was that the olddy was going to tell me. Everything in her house seemed like the next morning, I walked straight to the kitchen to get some water only to find the olddy preparing breakfast. ¡°Good morning, ma¡¯am¡± I greeted. ¡°Good Morning dear. Did you sleep well?¡± She asked ¡°Yes, I did,¡± I said, even though I could sleep because I kept thinking about what happened earlier. ¡°So, you were going to tell me something yesterday ¡± I started ¡°Yes, I was¡± she replied ¡°Could you help me set the table please?¡± she asked ¡°Yes, of course ¡± I replied After setting the table, I helped her serve breakfast. I went to get Jaden, only to discover that he was not in his room. I got so scared that I thought something bad has happened to him knowing that we were on the run. Jaden!!! Jaden!!! I shouted only to find him walking into the living room from outside. ¡°Where the hell were you?¡± I asked scared ¡°I was just outside¡± he replied looking surprised ¡°Outside, huh,¡± I said ¡°Common, you don¡¯t think after what¡¯s going on, I would run off, do you?¡± He asked ¡°Anyway, breakfast is served,¡± I said as I walked to the dining. ¡°Why are you mad at me?¡± He asked ¡°Not another word from you,¡± I stated He lifted his two hands in surrender. We all ate in silence. After breakfast, I helped the olddy clean up the kitchen. Now, she has to tell me the truth, there¡¯s no going back now. After I was done with the dirty dishes, I turned to her and said, ¡°I want to know the truth now¡± She turned to me and said, ¡°You want to know the truth, well, the truth it is. Come with me¡± I followed her to her room. She asked me to sit. She went straight to the mirror and pulled a drawer beside it and brought out a piece of cloth. By the looks of it, it has a drawing on it. I wonder what it means. ¡°I¡¯m not the right person to tell you this but you leave me no choice,¡± she said I wondered what she meant by that. ¡°You are my granddaughter, you have other siblings too. Irene, the woman that raised you, is not your biological mother. She¡¯s your mother¡¯s sister. Your mother is a witch and so am I. Your mother got mated to a werewolf who turns out to be your father. They had to separate to keep you kids safe.¡± Shocked at what she said, tears rolled down my eyes. ¡°So, you mean to tell me that the woman I¡¯ve lived with all my life and loved as my mother is not my actual mother?¡± I asked in tears ¡°Yes, my dear. You don¡¯t have to cry she¡¯s still your mother, she¡¯s family. She¡¯s also my daughter.¡± She said ¡°Who is my mother?¡± I asked ¡°I don¡¯t know where she is right now but that¡¯s not important, you have to find your siblings before it¡¯s toote. Your sister was supposed to be here with me but I gave her to your grandfather.¡± She stated ¡°Here, take this¡± she gave me the piece of cloth. It had a drawing on it. ¡°This will help you find your siblings ¡± she added ¡°How does this help me find them?¡± I asked ¡°Give me your right hand,¡± she asked I gave her my right hand and she said pointing at a mark on my hand ¡°This will help you¡± I looked at it and looked at the drawing on the piece of cloth only to discover that a part of the drawing looked exactly like the mark on my hand. ¡°Now you have to leave.¡± She said I sat there looking at the other parts of the drawing which looked familiar. I wondered where I¡¯ve seen it before. Oh sh*t, Jaden¡­ I rushed to the living room and found Jaden sitting there, and I asked him to show me his right hand and he did. Oh my God, he is my brother. I ran back into the olddy¡¯s room who just told me she was my grandmother, ¡°He¡¯s my brother¡­ Jaden is my brother.¡± I said to her ¡°Yes, I know. But you have to find your sister now, something tells me, she¡¯s in trouble¡± she said. ¡°But how do I tell him?¡± I asked ¡°When the right timees. Go pack up, you have to leave now¡± she said ¡°Wait, how do I find her¡± I aked ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you will find her ¡± she said as I exited her room ¡°Get up, we have to go now,¡± I said to Jaden who was sitting down ¡°What happened?¡± He asked ¡°Nothing, something came up and we have to leave right now,¡± I said to him ¡°Stop, tell me, what happened?¡± he asked as he held my hand ¡°We don¡¯t have time, I will tell you on our way¡± I replied After packing, our grandmother now of course asked us to enter her room. We bother entered her room and she moved the clothes that were in her wardrobe and pushed a stone at the left side of the wardrobe which in turn, opened a secret pathway just like the one back home. ¡°This will lead you to your quest.¡± She said as she handed antern and a bag to us containing food and water. ¡°Manage this, it will lead you till you find what you are looking for¡± she added Jaden and I thanked her and left through the secret pathway. Walking through the pathway, we came across three pathways and I remembered the direction spell and chanted it. Two paths closed and we were left with one. We made our way right through it and ended up in a vige filled with made people. ¡°Now how the hell am I gonna find her,¡± I thought to myself. ~Eric¡¯s POV~ ¡°Keep running boy. I will find you wherever you are hiding ¡± Eric said as heughed devilishly. ¡°Everyone, let¡¯s move¡± he ordered.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. They trailed them through the wardrobe and got to the point where there were three pathways. ¡°What do we do now, ¡± Ryan asked Chapter 10 ~Eric¡¯s~ ¡°What do we do now?¡± Ryan asked ¡°We follow her lead¡± Eric answered pointing at the witch The witch started chanting a spell and two pathways closed. She walked through the pathway that was left open. ¡°Let¡¯s move ¡± Eric ordered They all followed the witch and she lead them to a vige that looked very weird. Everyone was busy here and there. There were buys and sellers all over. Back home they had no such thing. The witch lead them to a shop where they made a halt. ¡°Why did you stop?¡± Eric asked ¡°Patience Alpha, patience¡­¡± She replied They stood there for a while and Eric began to get angry. He didn¡¯t like it that he has to take others from a witch. ¡°We have to move from here now¡± Eric ordered ¡°Wait for it,¡± the witch said holding her hands up in a way that says for everyone to keep quiet. On hearing this, Eric became very angry and was about to do something bad to her when suddenly¡­ ¡°There she is,¡± the witch said ¡°Who, that olddy?¡± Eric asked ¡°What those she has to do with who we are looking for?¡± He added ¡°She¡¯s the key to what you are looking for. So you just have to wait now¡± the witch said ¡°Okay,¡± Eric said in agreement but was not happy about it. They all waited till nightfall when the olddy was about to go home. They followed her to her house and were amazed too by what they saw. The house was exactly like the other one they just left. They waited till she went inside. They entered her house and found her sitting down in her living room. ¡°Hello aunty, miss me,¡± the witch said with a devilish smile The olddy was shocked to see her. ¡°Greeta what are you doing here?¡± She asked only for her to turn and saw Eric standing next to her. ¡°You wretched witch¡­¡± The olddy said ¡°Yes, yes, you can call me whatever you want but I¡¯m not here for that. Where are they?¡± Greeta asked ¡°Who are you talking about?¡± The olddy asked pretending she didn¡¯t know who Greeta was talking about. ¡°Don¡¯t y dumb with me you olddy?¡± Greeta said walking around her living room only to discover a picture. ¡°It¡¯s her, she¡¯s the one. Where is she?¡± Greeta asked ¡°I don¡¯t know anything?¡± The olddy said trying to act innocent. ¡°Is she not your granddaughter?¡± Greeta asked ¡°Even if she is, why would I tell you where she is?¡± The olddy said calmly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will find her myself¡± Greeta said as she gave Ryan a sign to kill her. Ryan looked at Eric because he there not take orders from anyone apart from him. Eric nodded in response. Ryan slit her throat with his ws. ¡°So what now?¡± Eric asked trying so hard not to take orders from the witch. ¡°Now we move¡± Greeta replied as she walked straight to the olddy¡¯s room. Went to her wardrobe and did the same thing she did at the other house and the wardrobe opened a pathway. They followed the pathway. ~Rhea¡¯s POV~ Wandering around, Jaden kept asking questions and it was bing unbearable for me. Very soon, I would run out of answers. Suddenly, I saw ady running towards us. ¡°Please, help me.¡± She said pointing at the men who were after. ¡°What did you do?¡± I asked looking at the huge men who stood in front of me. Before I knew what was going on, they were all on the ground. I turned to Jaden, ¡°What the hell did you do?¡± I asked surprised at what had just happened ¡°Wow! That was fast. We better live here now before more of them wille for us¡± thedy said as she urged us to follow her. We got to a point where we made a halt. ¡°Thanks for saving me,¡± the Lady said ¡°No problem. Just don¡¯t get yourself into trouble again¡± Jaden said ¡°Getting in trouble is all I do these days¡± she replied ¡°Let me guess, you¡¯re a witch and you are a werewolf. Am I right? ¡± she said ¡°Don¡¯t ask how I know, because I don¡¯t even know myself¡± she added Shocked by what she just said, Jaden and I started at each other confused. ¡°But how did you do it,¡± I asked ¡°I don¡¯t know, it¡¯s just that I can sense when magic is used or someone extraordinary is around. Also, I can tell what or who it is¡± she answered ¡°By the way, I¡¯m Lucy¡± she introduced herself ¡°I¡¯m Jaden and this is Rhea,¡± Jaden said ¡°Are you both siblings or are you both a¡­¡± Lucy said smiling ¡°No, we are not.¡± I cut her shot. ¡°Okay¡± she replied ¡°Jaden, we have to keep going. We don¡¯t have much time¡± I said to Jaden and he nodded in response ¡°Alright pretty Lady¡± Jaden said ¡°It¡¯s Lucy¡± she corrected ¡°Alright Lucy, hope to see you again,¡± Jaden said to her as we turned to take our leave. ¡°Wait,¡± Lucy said Jaden and I turned back to hear what she wants to say. ¡°Can Ie along?¡± Lucy asked ¡°Come along?¡± I asked confused ¡°No way, you can¡¯t. It¡¯s dangerous. Besides, you don¡¯t even know where we are going to.¡± I stated ¡°Please, let mee along. I don¡¯t have anywhere to go to¡± she pleaded Jaden drew me to the other side and said ¡°Let here with us, she can be of help to us, and besides I think she knows us more than we do know ourselves. Let her just tag along¡± ¡°Okay, fine. You can join us but don¡¯t me us if you get killed on the way¡± I stated ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry about me¡± she replied. We continued our journey till we came to a spot and decided to camp for the night. We made a fire with the dry woods we found and sat close to it to keep warm. ¡°So tell me, what¡¯s your story, why are you out here alone?¡± I asked Lucy ¡°Uhmmm, I lived with my grandfather but he recently passed away. So I¡¯m all alone¡± she said sadly ¡°What about your parents?¡± I asked ¡°My parents? Hmm, I never met them. Though my grandfather showed me a picture of my father before he died¡± she replied For some reason, I walked up to her and asked her to give me her right hand. Amazingly, she had the final missing mark on the drawing my grandmother gave to me. ¡°I have something to say,¡± I said as Jaden and Lucy turned to be confused by the way I was actingThis content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. Tears rolled down my eyes. I didn¡¯t know how to say it but I had to before it will be toote. Chapter 11 ~Rhea¡¯s POV~ Tears rolled down my eyes. I didn¡¯t know how to say it but I had to before it will be toote. I was about to tell them the truth when we heard a sound. We looked around but didn¡¯t see anything or anyone. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± Jaden asked But no one answered. ¡°It might be a bush rat,¡± I said Lucy and Jaden still didn¡¯t look convinced about what I said. ¡°I sense something really stronging our way,¡± Lucy said ¡°I can smell it too. It¡¯s near¡± Jaden added ¡°Guys, don¡¯t scare me. I¡¯m already tensed about what I was about to say¡± I pleaded Jaden turned to me and asked ¡°What were you about to say?¡± ¡°Uhmmm, you might not believe it but it¡¯s the truth,¡± I said as they looked at me waiting to hear what I have to say. ¡°We are siblings,¡± I said as they both looked at me in disbelief ¡°All three of us¡± I added. They both busted out inughter which kinda got me a bit angry. I just told them the truth, the actual truth and here they areughing their guts out. ¡°You are joking right?¡± Jaden asked as they both continue tough ¡°Stop it guys, I¡¯m serious,¡± I exined ¡°Okay look, you both have a mark on the back of your right hand. Don¡¯t you?¡± I asked They both looked at their right hand then turned to me. ¡°It might be a coincidence or something,¡± Lucy said ¡°Yeah, what does it matter? It doesn¡¯t mean we are siblings ¡± Jaden added¡± I turned to Jaden and said ¡°Remember the olddy, you wanted me to find out the truth about why she had my pictures and my supposed mother¡¯s picture in her living room.¡± ¡°Yes, but what do you mean by supposed mother?¡± Jaden asked ¡°The person that raised me is not my mother but my aunt. ¡± I stated ¡°ording to the old Lady, we were separated when we were little to keep us safe. The person that took me was my aunt, your aunt. The person that took Lucy was our grandfather and the person that took you was our mother.¡± I exined as tears rolled down my eyes as I remembered Jaden saying she was dead. I wished I had met her and known what she looked like before her death. ¡°Wait, this is kinda weird and creepy. How did you even get to know that I was raised by an old man?¡± Lucy asked still not convinced ¡°Okay look, before we left the olddy¡¯s house, she gave me a piece of cloth that had a drawing on it. And she said that it would help me find my siblings pointing at the mark on my hand. The mark on my hand is part of the drawing and both of you have the missing parts ¡± I exined trying to make them believe it was true as they both looked at their hands in confusion. ¡°Who is the olddy?¡± Jaden asked ¡°She¡¯s our grandmother,¡± I replied ¡°Grandmother?¡± Jaden asked ¡°Yes¡± I replied ¡°Where¡¯s the drawing?¡± Jaden asked I showed him the drawing and he was surprised. Lucy decided to look at the drawing too. ¡°Bring forth your right hand,¡± I said as both of them did. We joined our hands together to see if they perfectly matched the drawing. It was a perfect match.Owned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°So finally I have a family,¡± Lucy said as tears rolled down her eyes. I wondered why she was crying. Maybe it¡¯s normal to cry when you meet your family for the first time. ¡°What happened, I thought you had our grandfather with you?¡± I asked ¡°Yes, I did but he passed away a few weeks ago. I¡¯ve been all by myself¡± she said as I hugged her and tried tofort her. Jaden walked around as though thinking of something. ¡°What is it Jaden?¡± I asked ¡°You said we were separated to keep us safe,¡± he said ¡°Yes¡± I answered ¡°But why?¡± He asked ¡°Maybe the same reason why those other wolve¡¯s are after you¡± I replied ¡°What else did she tell you?¡± Jaden asked ¡°Who?¡± I asked ¡°Our grandmother ¡± he replied ¡°She only said that I have to find my siblings before it¡¯s toote. ¡± I answered ¡°Toote for what?¡± He asked ¡°I don¡¯t know¡± I replied ¡°I think there¡¯s a lot to this than what we know,¡± Lucy said ¡°We need to get to the bottom of this ¡± she added ¡°We have a bigger problem¡± I stated ¡°What?¡± They both asked ¡°Well, the problem there is that we don¡¯t have a single clue about anything, so where do we start from,¡± I said ¡°It¡¯s true. Jaden don¡¯t you have any clue about our father or something rted to this, I mean you stayed with her¡± Lucy asked ¡°No, I don¡¯t ¡± he replied ¡°Great, we are down to an endpoint¡± I mumbled ¡°By the way, who is our father?¡± He asked ¡°I¡¯ve never met him before but I¡¯ve seen his picture,¡± Lucy said ¡°Good, at least that will help us find him if he is still alive,¡± I said ¡°But how are we going to find him?¡± Lucy asked ¡°I don¡¯t know, maybe we can go to your house, I mean our grandfathers¡¯ house. We could find something there ¡± I said ¡°Yes, that¡¯s a great idea¡± Jaden added ¡°Uhmm, that¡¯s gonna be a bit hard,¡± Lucy said ¡°Why?¡± I asked ¡°It¡¯s kinda far from here and those guys you saw chasing after me back there, might be waiting for me. It will be dangerous ¡± she said as we heard a noise ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± Jaden asked and still no response ¡°It¡¯s here,¡± Lucy said ¡°I can smell it¡± Jaden added ¡°Guys, what¡¯s going on?¡± I asked scared of what will happen next. I immediately used the containment spell to protect us. Still no sign of anyone around, Lucy and Jaden kept acting weird as if something was out there. Suddenly, a man walked toward as other men followed. I wondered who he was and why he was after us. Getting closer, I could see his face. He looked nothing like the others who chased after Jaden and me. It was a tall handsome man. He looked really angry. I could see the anger and sadness in his eyes. ¡°Speaking of our father, that¡¯s him,¡± Lucy ¡°What?¡± Jaden and I asked Chapter 12 Getting closer, I could see his face. He looked nothing like the others who chased after Jaden and me. It was a tall handsome man. He looked really angry. I could see the anger and sadness in his eyes. ¡°Speaking of our father, that¡¯s him,¡± Lucy ¡°What?¡± Jaden and I asked ¡°Yes, he¡¯s the man in the picture grandpa showed to me¡± Lucy replied The man stood there for a while and stared at us without saying anything. ¡± He was handsome maybe that¡¯s why Jaden is so handsome too,¡± I thought to myself. The other men who were with him looked aggressive and ready to attack. The man walked a bit closer to us and asked ¡°What are you three doing out here, don¡¯t you know is dangerous to be out here by this time?¡± ¡°Where are your parents?¡± He asked Jaden and I looked at Lucy confused ¡°They must be careless to have left you out here by yourself, ¡± he added ¡°Gosh¡­ These humans, with what¡¯s happening they still think of camping¡± he mumbled ¡°By the way, who are your parents, the ones who let you kids hang out here in the middle of nowhere?¡± He asked walking around ¡°Our mother is dead,¡± Jaden said ¡°And you are supposed to be our father I guess,¡± Lucy said as he made a halt. He stood there for a while before turning to us. ¡°Jaden, Rhea, and Lucy,¡± he said ¡°What are you doing here, you¡¯re not supposed to be here¡± he stated ¡°You know, a warm nice hug will do for giving us away and not evening to visit, not even a da, y,¡± Lucy said with tears in her eyes ¡°Could you please take down the spell?¡± He asked ¡°How are we sure that you are our real father and not someone who is trying to kill us?¡± I asked He looked at me and his eyes turned red. I could see anger in his eyes but there was a little sadness in his eyes. ¡°He¡¯s the one. I can feel it¡± Lucy said ¡°Prove it¡± Jaden let out ¡°I will tell you everything but first you need to live here now,¡± he said I let down the containment spell and he immediately ran to us and hugged us. ¡°You don¡¯t know how happy I am to finally see you,¡± he said ¡°I¡¯m sorry for all these years that I¡¯ve not been around, but everything has changed now. I¡¯m not letting you three out of my site again¡± he said ¡°Willow, take them back¡± he ordered As soon as Willow came forward, Jaden rushed to him and hugged him. ¡°I thought you were dead?¡± Jaden asked ¡°No, I¡¯m not¡± Willow replied ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Willow said as he lead the way and we followed ~Eric¡¯s POV~ ¡°Now we move¡± Greeta replied as she walked straight to the olddy¡¯s room. Went to her wardrobe and did the same thing she did at the other house and the wardrobe opened a pathway. They followed the pathway. They got to a point where they met three pathways. Greeta chanted the direction spell and two pathways closed and they were left with one. They walked till their long journey came to an end. They came into a vige filled with people. ¡°Where are they? ¡± Eric asked ¡°Hmm, they are gone¡± Greeta replied ¡°What do you mean they are all gone?¡± Eric asked ¡°They were here but¡­¡± Greeta tried to exin but was cut short by Eric ¡°But what?¡± Eric asked in angerThis is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I don¡¯t know. All I can tell you is that they met someone. A very powerful one.¡± Greeta said Eric cursed in anger. All his efforts to get Jaden were just a waste of time. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go back and let hime to you?¡± Greeta asked ¡°Besides you killed his mother, he will surelye back for revenge¡± she added ¡°We¡¯vee too far to go back now,¡± Eric said ¡°Alright, let¡¯s wait here¡± Greeta replied ~Derrick¡¯s POV~ ¡°This is it, I¡¯ve had enough. Get ready, I¡¯ming for you Eric¡± I said looking at the mirror in my room ¡°How do I find Jaden now? I don¡¯t even know his face. Rhea and Lucy on the other hand hmm¡­ I just hope they are okay.¡± I thought to myself The next day, we set out to find Eric only to find three teens camping in the woods. ¡°Who does that these days? Don¡¯t they know that it¡¯s dangerous to be in the woods at this time? What kind of parents would live their kids to go camping?¡± I said ¡°Should we fat rid of them?¡± one of my men asked ¡°No. They are just kids. Their parents probably would be worried about them.¡± I said I wondered what they were talking about, they seemed pretty serious and emotional. I guess they noticed us but there was something strange about these kids. I decided to walk up to them and to my greatest surprise, one of them cast a spell. I was surprised, it¡¯s been a while since Ist saw a witch. She reminded me of Karen, the witch I fell in love with. ¡°What are you three doing out here, don¡¯t you know is dangerous to be out here by this time, Where are your parents?¡± I asked ¡°They must be careless to have left you out here by yourself, ¡± I asked ¡°Our mother is dead,¡± the boy said ¡°And you are supposed to be our father I guess¡± the girl with short hair said Then it struck me, could they be¡­ No, they can¡¯t be¡­ Just to be sure I called their names, ¡°Jaden, Rhea, and Lucy¡± It¡¯s them. Finally, I got to see them. But I never wanted it to be this way. But thanks to Eric, my dream of reuniting with my family will be happening. Anger and sadness filled my heart. I asked her to take down the spell. I had to keep them safe before continuing my quest for revenge, so I asked Willow to take them back to my house. ¡°It¡¯s twenty-one days to the full moon, I don¡¯t have much time,¡± I thought to myself as we all went back home. Chapter 13 It¡¯s twenty-one days to the full moon, I don¡¯t have much time,¡± I thought to myself as we all went back home. ~Greeta¡¯s POV~ ¡°We¡¯vee too far to go back now,¡± Eric said ¡°Alright, let¡¯s wait here¡± Greeta replied ¡°Just wait till I get my hands on her, I will make her pay for everything you did to me aunt. I will make sure she suffers and feels every bit of the pain you caused me¡± Greeta thought to herself as she stared at Eric and his men. ¡°Fools, I will use them to get my revenge,¡± she said to herself ~past~ Greeta was a little child when she found out she was a witch. She began to use her powers at an early age, unlike Karen and Irene who started using their powers when they got older. Greeta¡¯s mother was the only surviving sibling of Karen¡¯s mother. They were both not on good terms. They argued a lot that it affected their children. They didn¡¯t let them get close to each other. A few yearster, Greeta¡¯s mother got sick and died. Now Greeta starts to stay with Karen and her family because they were the only rtion she had. At first, she didn¡¯t wee her butter on, she began to see her as her child. But on the other side, Greeta med her for all her misfortune and swore to revenge for her mother¡¯s death. Years went by as the children grew up loving each other but along the line, Karen¡¯s mother noticed something different about Greeta. She sometimes stayed alone and lock herself up in a room. One day, Karen¡¯s mother found out that she was practicing ck magic. She confronted her but Greeta didn¡¯t take it well so she let out her anger, and the grudge she had in her heart ever since she was born. Karen¡¯s mother was shocked to hear this from Greeta. She tried to exin why she was not on good terms with her mother but Greeta stumped out of the room. ¡°Greeta! Greeta!¡± Karen¡¯s mother called out but before she could get to Greeta, she had already disappeared. She searched for greeta but couldn¡¯t find her. After a while she gave. Greeta wandered in the woods for days, all she could eat were fruits she found. As she wondered in the woods, unfortunately for her, she was surrounded by wolves. She wanted to chant a spell when she saw a young man walking toward her. Before she could chant, or spell, she was hit by one of the wolves with a wood at the back of her head and she fell unconscious. Waking up, she found herself in a dungeon. She tried to get out but she couldn¡¯t, she tried to chant a spell but no way. Finally, a man walked up to her, it was the same man she saw in the woods. ¡°Let me out¡± she cried out ¡°Not yet¡± the man replied. ¡°What is your name? ¡± he asked her ¡°Greeta¡± she answered ¡°Well, I realized that you are a witch but just to let you know, as long as you are in here, you are powerless. This ce neutralizes your power. So don¡¯t bother trying to escape¡± she said as he walked out. Greeta cried out for help for days but didn¡¯t get one. All she got every day was a te of food each day. Finally, she quit and epted her faith. The hatred for Karen¡¯s mother grew stronger in her heart. She caused and med her for everything she was passing through. Years went by and Eric finally remembered her or let¡¯s say needed her help. She then thought of this as an opportunity to take revenge on her aunt. ~present~ Now there¡¯s no stopping her. She will make sure to wipe out their bloodline from the surface of the earth. ¡°At least Karen and Irene are out of the way, it¡¯s going to be easy to take out the girl.¡± She thought to herself not knowing that Rhea wasn¡¯t the only surviving bloodline of her aunt. ~Derrick¡¯s POV~ Getting home, I asked one of my men to show them to their rooms so they can freshen up and have something to eat. Willow! I called out He came closer and I asked him to follow me to my chamber. ¡°What do we do now?¡± I asked ¡°I think we have to make a n first. They are here already and Jaden has 21 days left. Ande to think of it, keeping them safe should be your top priority right now.¡± Willow answered ¡°You are right. For now, I think the revenge n should be on hold till we make sure that they are safe. ¡± I admitted ¡°Alright, go tell them to prepare something to eat and cloth to change into for my children¡± I ordered ~Rhea¡¯s POV~ Lucy and I were asked to stay in the same room. Soon after ady came in and prepared a bath for us and she brought some new clothes for us. ¡°Your father asked that youe down and have dinner with him after you are done freshening up,¡± she said ¡°Okay¡± I replied? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. ¡°And let me know if you need anything ¡± she added ¡°Okay¡± I answered as she left the room ¡°So this is where he has been all these years,¡± Lucy said ¡°Who?¡± I asked confused ¡°Who else would I be talking about if not our father?¡± She asked. ¡°Oh, okay,¡± I replied uneasily ¡°Hey, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Lucy asked ¡°Nothing really, I just wished I met our mother. I wonder what it will be like to have her around or what it would be like to have aplete family.¡± I said sadly ¡°I know, but look at the bright side, we got to meet each other and got to meet our father. At least that is something we should be happy about.¡± Lucy said ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go take a shower,¡± I said as we both made our way to the bathroom. We went down to meet our father as soon as we were done. And we found him already seated, waiting for us. We joined and we all ate in silence. ¡°Rhea, someone ising after you. Be careful, stick to your father and siblings at all times¡± a voice said to me. ¡°Did you hear that?¡± I asked Chapter 14 ¡°Rhea, someone ising after you. Be careful, stick to your father and siblings at all times¡± a voice said to me. ¡°Did you hear that?¡± I asked ¡°Hear what?¡± Lucy asked ¡°Nothing. Don¡¯t worry about it¡± I said trying not to raise rm ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Jaden asked ¡°Nothing. I just thought I heard something.¡± I replied. ¡°No need to worry about it.¡± I added ¡°You don¡¯t need to worry, you are all safe here. No harm cane to you as long as I am here.¡± Father said. We all ate in silence until father broke the silence when he was done. ¡°Get some rest after you are done. We will talk more tomorrow.¡± He said as he made his way out of the dining and willow followerd Jaden finished. ¡°Alrightdies, see tomorrow. I don¡¯t think I will wake up early at the long stress I went through with Rhea.¡± He said as we allughed to it. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I get a nice fitting cloth for you.¡± I said as I chuckled ¡°I¡¯m never going to let you pick out an outfit for me so don¡¯t worry about it.¡± He said as he made his was to his room Lucy and Iughed at him as he left. Finally, I was left with Lucy. ¡°Hey, what¡¯s going on?¡± Lucy asked looking at me as though she knew I lied. ¡°Nothing, really.¡± I said ¡°Come on. You can tell me. Ain¡¯t we sisters anymore? I can keep secrets.¡± She said with a smile on her face ¡°Well, I heard the voice again in my head. A woman¡¯s. She¡¯s trying to warn me about something or someone but I don¡¯t know why.¡± I said ¡°What do you mean by again?¡± She asked ¡°Before I saved Jaden, a voice asked me to?¡± I replied ¡°To top it all, it¡¯s the same voice I heard the night I saved Jaden¡± I added ¡°So what did she say?¡± Lucy asked? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. ¡°Rhea, someone ising after you. Be careful, stick to your father and siblings at all times¡± I said ¡°Hmm. She even called your name and she knows that you are with us and father. That means she knows us pretty well.¡± Lucy said. ¡°And ording to what I know, only your bloodline can get into your head. I mean, I don¡¯t know. If she was able to say something and only you could hear it, that means she must be close to you or maybe a bloodline.¡± She exin ¡°See what you are going to do. Next time the voice talks to you, ask her who she is. Well at least that way you might get your answer.¡± She suggested as we made our way to our toom to take some rest. Weid down on the bed gisting about our lives till we fell asleep. ¡°Rhea, don¡¯t forget what I told you. That¡¯s the only way to stay alive. ¡± a woman who looked very beautiful said to me. I looked around, I couldn¡¯t recognize where I was. Everything seemed strange. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I won¡¯t harm you. I¡¯m here to help.¡± The woman said She looks hurt. I tried to help her but she said that I should note closer. I wondered why she wouldn¡¯t let me help her. ¡°Don¡¯te closer. I will be fine. Just know that you are in danger. A very powerful witch is after you and she will stop at nothing until you are dead.¡± She said ¡°But who are you?¡± I asked ¡°That doesn¡¯t matter right now. You just have to do what I said.¡± She replied ¡°Do you still have the spell book?¡± She asked ¡°Yes I do but¡­¡± I said as she cut me off ¡°No but¡¯s. Practice with it and you will be fine as long as you all stick together.¡± She said ¡°Rhea, Rhea¡± I head a voice calling out to me ¡°You have to go now¡± she said Before I could say anything, I found myself on the bed socked in sweats and Lucy beside me panicking. ¡°Rhea, Rhea¡± she called out. I could see the fear in her eyes. I thought maybe she was scared that something would happen to me. I sat up and looked at Lucy who looks really scared. ¡°What happen?¡± She asked ¡°I saw her¡± I said ¡°You saw who?¡± She asked ¡°I saw the woman that has been talking to me. She looks hurt but she didn¡¯t let me get closer.¡± I replied ¡°But did she at least tell you who she was?¡± She asked ¡°No, she didn¡¯t. I asked her but she wouldn¡¯t say anything. All she said was that there¡¯s a powerful witch who is after and would stop at nothing until I¡¯m dead¡± I replied ¡°Well, that¡¯s some scary sh*t¡± Lucy said ¡°Well, did she at least give a solution or something?¡± She asked ¡°No, she didn¡¯t. All she said was that we should all stick to each other including our father. And that I should also practice with the spell book that it would really help me.¡± I answered. ¡°Well, that¡¯s a start. Let¡¯s get some rest. We have a big day tomorrow.¡± Lucy said ¡°Can I join you? My bed is kinda wet¡± I asked ¡°Of course, ¡± she replied as I made my way to her bed. It took a while before I finally fell asleep. ~Derrick¡¯s POV~ I left the dining room with willow to my chamber. I was happy and at the same time, sad. Happy because finally, I got to meet my children. Sad because, the love of my life is no more. I got to my room, stood at the for a while before turning to Willow. ¡°Go get some rest, I will be fine¡± I said to him ¡°Yes, sir¡± he replied as he left. I entered my room andid down thinking about Karen till I slept off ~Lady Karen¡¯s POV~ After the attack, I went into hiding. I had sworn to keep my children safe. They can only be safe now with their father. That way, Eric won¡¯t get to them. Trying so hard to keep them safe, I discovered that Eric, wasn¡¯t the only threat. Greeta is there too. She has always longed for revenge for her mothers death. And she will stop at nothing till she hurts someone rted to us. I will do what ever it takes to make sure she doesn¡¯t get to them. Chapter 15 Trying so hard to keep them safe, I discovered that Eric, wasn¡¯t the only threat. Greeta is there too. She has always longed for revenge for her mothers death. And she will stop at nothing till she hurts someone rted to us. I will do what ever it takes to make sure she doesn¡¯t get to them. ~before now~ After the attack at home, I got hurt badly that I could not move. I lost consciousness. When I regained consciousness, I realized everyone was dead. The thought of Jaden filled my mind. I wanted to know if he was alright. I never wanted to use magic but right now it is required. I used the location spell and found Jaden lying helplessly on the ground. I wondered how to help him because I was seriously injured. Right then I noticed that Rhea wasn¡¯t that far away from him. So I called out to her for help. Luckily for me, she helped him. And ever sce then I¡¯ve guided and watched them from where I was to keep them safe till they get to their father. Luckily for them, they both got to meet Lucy their sister andter on their father. I was happy but at the same time sad and angry knowing that someone like Greeta was also after them. And knowing that she killed my mother got me even angrier. I was a bit relieved when they met their father. I knew he would do anything to keep them safe for now. Sooner orter, I will have to show myself but I have toy low for now and help them from afar. ~Rhea¡¯s POV~ I woke in the morning and found Lucy¡¯s arms wrapped around me. I¡¯ve never shared bed with anyone except my mother whom I recently found out that she wasn¡¯t my real mother. I wanted to remove her Jan but for some reason it felt okay for her hand to be there. I wondered what life was for her. Now that I¡¯ve met my family, I¡¯m never letting them go. The thought of what thedy said to me came repeating in my head. Still wondering who she was, a hand snapped in front of me. ¡°Good Morning ¡± Lucy said ¡°Good Morning ¡± I replied ¡°Let¡¯s get ready we have a long day ahead of us¡± she said as she jumped out of the bed straight to the bathroom. A smile escaped my lips. As I watched her walked to the bathroom. I felt so happy that Iid back on the bed and close my eyes. ¡°Come on, get up¡± she yelled I opened my eyes and found her in the room with a towel tied around her chest. She was already done taken her bath, I didn¡¯t realise how long Iid down. I stood up and went straight to the bathroom and took my bath. Soon after we were done, we went straight to the dinning and found Jaden and father already spotted andughing about something. Lucy and I quickly sat down.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org. ¡°What are you guys talking about?¡± Lucy asked ¡°Nothing¡± Jaden answered stillughing ¡°Come on, tell us¡± Lucy asked again ¡°Nothing really, just that you girls took like a whole year toe down¡± he said as they both busted intoughter. ¡°Son, you know, your mother always made me wait for her all the time though I enjoyed waiting for her. Everytime I watched her walked down the stairs, my heart always melts. It always felt as if I was meeting her for the first time. And each day, I always fell in love with her. I wished she was here with us right now. She would be very happy¡± he said as I saw a tear roll down his cheeks and he immediately wiped it off. ¡°Alright, eat up. Let¡¯s not start the day with a sad memory¡± he added as we all ate our food. Jaden barely even tooluched his food but Lucy finished everything in her te and asked for more. ¡°By the way father, who is the eldest?¡± Lucy asked as Jaden choked on the food he just put in his mouth. ¡°Are you serious right now, I mean, isn¡¯t it obvious. I¡¯m the eldest of course¡± Jaden said in a boastful manner as father chuckled ¡°No, you can¡¯t be. I think you are the youngest.¡± Lucy said teasingly. ¡°Haha, well I¡¯m the eldest deal with it¡± Jaden said ¡°Father, tell him the truth so that he won¡¯t be that proud¡± Lucy said trying to mock Jaden ¡°Well, Rhea is the eldest, followed by¡­¡± Father said ¡°Followeby who?¡± Lucy asked desperately wanting to know who¡¯s the eldest between her and Jaden Jaden on the other hand was eager to hear what father has to say ¡°We will talk about thatter¡± father said Jaden and Lucy felt very disappointed. Father and Iughed at the both of them. Seeing tease each other made usugh. ¡°What I know is that, I am older than you.¡± Jaden said making a funny face to Lucy. Lucy on the other hand stock out her tongue to Jaden making a funny face. After eating, Jaden and father left to his chambers and Lucy and I decided to take a walk around the house. ¡°Lucy, I can remember thedy¡¯s face¡± I said as I saw a paper and pencil. ¡°And I can try to sketch it.¡± I added as I took the paper and pencil to try and sketch her face. I started sketching and Lucy just stood beside me an watched. It took me time but atst I got to finish the sketch. ¡°Here, that¡¯s the woman¡± I said ¡°Are you sure she¡¯s the one?¡± Lucy asked ¡°Yes, I¡¯m sure of it.¡± I replied. Lucy stared at the picture for a while before it was snatched out of her hands. ¡°Hey, little brother¡± Lucy yelled ¡°Little brother? You are the younger one so quit calling me that¡± Jaden said ¡°By the way what¡¯s this that you both are so tensed about¡± Jaden said as he looked at the picture ¡°Give it back¡± I said but then realise that something about Jaden changed immediately he saw the sketch. ¡°Where did you get this?¡± He asked ¡°Rhea just sketched it right now before you snatched it away¡± Lucy said ¡°Actually, this might sound crazy but this woman has been talking to metely and also the night that I saved you, she was the one that asked me to¡± I said ¡°And right now, she is¡­¡± I tried to let him know about herst message before he interrupted ¡°This is my mother. This is our mother¡± Jaden said as Lucy and I stared at each other. ¡°Are you sure about this?¡± Lucy asked ¡°Yes, I¡¯m sure¡± he said as father walked in. He took the sketch and asked ¡°What¡¯s going on, where and how did you get this?¡± ¡°I sketched it¡± I answered ¡°She has been talking to me¡± I added Father looked at me and walked closer. ¡°What did she say?¡± He asked ¡°She said that we should all stick together with you that it¡¯s the only way to stay alive for now. She said that a powerful witch is out their hunting for us right now.¡± I said ¡°She was trying to warn us about the danger ahead of us¡± I added ¡°Is she still alive?¡± Father asked ¡°I don¡¯t really know but she seemed so.¡± I replied ¡°But she looks really hurt. I tried helping her but she wouldn¡¯t let me.¡± I added ¡°Try connecting back to her, maybe we can get her location from there¡± father ordered ¡°Okay¡± I replied ¡°No wonder she was able to get into your head because she is your bloodline¡± Lucy said. Chapter 16 ¡°Try connecting back to her, maybe we can get her location from there¡± father ordered ¡°Okay¡± I replied ¡°No wonder she was able to get into your head because she is your bloodline,¡± Lucy said. Now it all makes sense ¡± she added ¡± But wait, can you locate her,¡± she asked ¡°I¡¯ll try¡± I replied. I went back to my room and Lucy followed. I took the spell book and searched through it to see if I would see anything that could help it. Finally, I found it. The location spell. I tried using it but it wasn¡¯t working. ¡°It¡¯s not working,¡± I said to Lucy ¡°Why?¡± She asked ¡°I don¡¯t know, I think there¡¯s a part of the puzzle we are missing,¡± I said to her as I checked the book again only to find out that the reason why I could not locate her was that she didn¡¯t want to be found. ording to the book, one can block their location if they don¡¯t want to be found but can only be traced when they make contact with another person using their magic. ¡°So let¡¯s wait for her to reach out again,¡± Lucy said as I nodded in response. We went downstairs to meet Jaden and their father. As soon as Jaden saw us, he ran towards us. ¡°Were you able to get anything?¡± He asked ¡°Not yet¡± I replied. He felt disappointed with my response. ¡°I couldn¡¯t figure out her location because she doesn¡¯t want to be found,¡± I said to him ¡°What do you mean she doesn¡¯t want to be found?¡± he asked ¡°I think she¡¯s hiding from something or someone which made him block the location spell¡± I replied ¡°But what could she be hiding from?¡± He asked again ¡°I don¡¯t know. All I know is that she¡¯s hurt and she needs help.¡± I said to him and Lucy ¡°But how do we get to find her now?¡± He asked ¡°That¡¯s not a problem as long as she makes contact with me again. That way I can find her.¡± I answered ¡°Alright. We are all trusting you on this¡± he said as he went to meet father. ~Greeta¡¯s POV~ The next morning, Eric asked his men to pack up and get ready to leave as he walked closer to me. ¡°We have only twenty days left to find the boy,¡± Eric said ¡°I know which is why I¡¯m here to help you,¡± I said to him ¡°Right now they are in the most dangerous and secured ce. It will be hard to get to them.¡± I added ¡°You need a n to be able to defeat them,¡± I said to him ¡°So what are you suggesting?¡± He asked ¡°It would be better if we get closer to them and wait till they get rxed. We should make them think that we are no longer after them. Then right then, we will attack.¡± I said to him ¡°That sounds like a good n,¡± he said ¡°Get ready boys, let¡¯s move¡± he ordered ¡°Only if he knew I was using him for my revenge n,¡± I thought to myself. We continued on the journey till we came to a ce where I asked them to stop. ¡°We are close enough,¡± I said to Eric ¡°Okay,¡± he said ¡°They will never know what¡¯sing, ¡± I thought to myself. Eric and his men decided to make a camp there. ¡°Just because of a useless prophecy, he¡¯s so tensed and worked up like this. Anyway, that¡¯s not my problem but his¡± I said to myself as I sat down ~Jaden¡¯s POV~ ¡°Father, why us?¡± I asked ¡°Why is this happening to our family,¡± I asked again Father turned to me, ced his hands on my shoulder, and smiled ¡°Son, everything happens for a reason. It¡¯s something we call faith¡± Father said ¡°But don¡¯t worry, everything will be fine soon.¡± He consoled and I nodded in response. ¡°We have neen more days to go. I¡¯m pretty sure that Eric is cooking up something. We have to be ready at all times.¡± Father said to me ¡°How good are you in fighting?¡± Father asked ¡°Good but not as good as Willow,¡± I said ¡°From now on, you will train every day so that when I¡¯m not around, you will be able to protect yourself and your sisters too,¡± he said ¡°Speaking of sisters, Father, who is older between me and Lucy,¡± I asked ¡°Well, she¡¯s older than you by a minute¡± he answered ¡°What!!! Please don¡¯t tell her. If not, she will surely trade me with it¡± I pleaded ¡°Okay, as long as you train hard,¡± father said before we were interrupted by Lucy ¡°I want to train to father,¡± she said Father looked at her surprised at what she just said. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen a girl fight before,¡± I said ¡°Wait till you see your mother fight ¡± father said ¡°Mother doesn¡¯t fight. I¡¯ve never seen her fight before. She¡¯s always gentle.¡± I said to him ¡°Just wait till you see her then. She¡¯s a lot stronger than anyone one I¡¯ve seen¡± father said. ¡°Haha, I think there is a saying that what a man can do, a woman can do better,¡± Lucy said ¡°Okay, let¡¯s see if you can keep up,¡± I said ¡°Training starts tomorrow,¡± Father said ¡°Okay¡± Lucy replied as she went back into the house. Father and I smiled at each other as we watched her go inside. ¡°Don¡¯t be surprised when you see her fight. She looks like a tough one¡± Father saidThis is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ~Rhea¡¯s POV~ I waited for her to speak to me again but to no avail. I worried something bad might had happened to her. I hope she¡¯s alright. I was so restless that it made me pace around the room that I didn¡¯t notice Lucy walk in. ¡°Hey sis, what are you up to? You¡¯ve been here like all day¡± she asked ¡°I don¡¯t know Lucy, I feel restless about everything,¡± I said to her. ¡°But why?¡± She asked ¡°The woman, I mean our mother. She¡¯s hurt. I just hope that something bad hasn¡¯t happened to her. ¡± I said ¡°Don¡¯t worry she will be fine¡± Lucy said to me ¡°How about we stroll around the house and get some fresh air?¡± She asked ¡°Okay, if you say so¡± I replied We walked around the house and suddenly, Lucy stopped. ¡°Someone¡¯s here,¡± she said ¡°Lucy, what are you saying. No one is here¡± I said to her ¡°I¡¯m serious. I can sense magic ¡± she said ¡°Of course, I have powers,¡± I said to her ¡°It¡¯s not yours, it¡¯sing from there,¡± she said pointing at the gate. ¡°Father, Father¡­¡± I called out and he came running out to us. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± He asked ¡°Lucy said someone is at the gate ¡± I answered ¡°And the person has magic¡± I added ¡°Lucy are you sure about this?¡± He asked ¡°Yes father, but she¡¯s just standing there. She¡¯s not moving¡± Lucy said. Father walked closer to the gate and asked us to go back into the house. We could help but hide in the corner of the door to see who it was. Chapter 17 ¡°Lucy are you sure about this?¡± He asked ¡°Yes father, but she¡¯s just standing there. She¡¯s not moving¡± Lucy said. ¡°I can feel her powers. I can sense evil around her. I think she¡¯s trying to hurt us.¡± Lucy added Father walked closer to the gate and asked us to go back into the house. We couldn¡¯t help but hid at the corner of the door to see who it was. Father gave Willow a sign to open the gate. At first he hesitated, but he had no choice because it was an order. Just when he was about to open the gate, Jaden came out of nowhere, ¡°Father, I have something to show you¡± he said ¡°Not now son, go be with your sisters inside and hide¡± Father said to Jaden ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is everyone as if they just saw a ghost?¡± Jaden asked looking at everyone ¡°Get inside now¡± He yelled as Jaden quickly made his way into the house wondering what might have happened to make everyone so tensed. Getting inside, he saw Rhea and Lucy at the corner of the house peeping through the window. ¡°What¡¯s going on here Rhea?¡± He asked ¡°There¡¯s someone at the gate¡± I replied ¡°I can sense her anger. It¡¯s as if she wants revenge or something. But she¡¯s just standing there. ¡± Lucy said. ¡°Why is she here?¡± We don¡¯t know either ¡°Wait guys, I think she¡¯s releasing an evil to this house with what she¡¯s doing¡±. Lucy said as Jaden and I looked at her ¡°Evil?¡± Jaden asked ¡°Yes, but I can¡¯t tell why¡± Lucy said ¡°What is she doing¡± I asked ¡°She cut herself and¡­ Wait guys, she¡¯s leaving.¡± Lucy said ¡°Leave? Why?¡± I asked ¡°I don¡¯t know¡± Lucy said Everyone was ready to attack when Lucy shouted ¡°Father¡± Father turned back to see who called ¡°Father, she is gone.¡± Lucy said ¡°What do you mean she¡¯s gone?¡± Father askedThis is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°No one¡¯s there now. She¡¯s gone. I don¡¯t know. I can¡¯t feel her anymore. I don¡¯t think she¡¯s still there¡± Lucy said as Willow opened the gate and found no one there. ¡°But one thing I know for sure is that she will be back¡± Lucy added He went outside further to see if anyone was nearby but no one was there and all he saw was blood on the ground. They didn¡¯t know what it means. They went back inside and locked the gate. ~Greeta¡¯s POV~ ¡°Stay here, I will go check them out¡± Greeta said to Eric and his men. Eric wasn¡¯t sure of letting her go because she might actually run away from there. ¡°You better not run away because I will find you¡± Eric warned ¡°No need to be worried. I¡¯m not going anywhere. I¡¯ve still got an unfinished family business¡± Greeta replied as she left their camp. Getting to Derrick¡¯s house, she stood there for a while. She sensed something powerful inside the house. She had sensed two witches in the house, one with power and the other without. ¡°Well they are no match for her¡± She thought to herself She brought out a knife and cut herself. She let the blood drop on the ground in front of the gate. After a while she left there just when she sensed that they were about to open the gateand went back to meet Eric and his men. ¡°It¡¯s good that you returned¡± Eric said ¡°I keep to my words. I told you that I will return and I did¡± Greeta said ¡°So how did it go?¡± Eric asked ¡°The ce is well guarded I don¡¯t think you stand a chance against them.¡± She said ¡± But anyway, be thankful you have me. ¡± she added ¡°And what¡¯s that supposed to mean?¡± Eric asked in anger ¡°You see, they are with their father. And you know, that he is the a hybrid. You can¡¯t defeat him even if you try in a thousand years toe, and he is the only one who can stop you just by lifting his hands¡± she said trying to stare up his anger ¡°Watch your tongue witch¡± Eric let out. ¡°But don¡¯t worry I¡¯ve taken care of him for you, he is no longer a threat to you.¡± she said ¡°What do you mean by you¡¯ve taken care of him for me?¡± Eric asked ¡°You ask too many questions that you are not supposed to ask. Go prepare with your men, we attack tomorrow night¡± she said ¡°Tomorrow night? Why not today?¡± Eric asked ¡°Because I said so¡± Greeta said and it made Eric frustrated knowing he can¡¯t do anything to her because he actually needs her for this fight. ¡°The boy has fifteen more days to go. Wasting time here is not going to do is any good¡± Eric asserted ¡°Patience. If you must win this fight, you have to be patient¡± Greeta said ¡°After tomorrow night, my quest for revenge will be over¡± she thought to herself staring at Derricks house. ~Rhea¡¯s POV~ As soon as they closed the gate, Derrick began to act strangely. He almost fell that three times before they entered the house. ¡°What¡¯s wrong father?¡± Jaden asked ¡°I don¡¯t know, I suddenly feel dizzy¡± He replied He tried to move and almost fell again. ¡°Please, help me to my room¡± he requested as Jaden and Willow took him to his room and we followed. Before he got to his room, he copsed. Theyid him down on his bed. He couldn¡¯t talk, move or even opened his eyes. It was as though he was in a very deep sleep. ¡°What¡¯s happening to him?¡± Jaden asked Willow ¡°I don¡¯t know. This has never happened before. I can¡¯t exin it.¡± Willow said ¡°It¡¯s her.¡± Lucy said ¡°It¡¯s who?¡± I asked ¡°It¡¯s the one who stood outside¡± She said ¡°How?¡± Jaden asked ¡°He is under her spell¡± Lucy said ¡± Father!!! Father!!!¡± Jaden called out to him trying to wake him up. ¡°He won¡¯t get up, he is not even aware of his surrounding ¡± I said ¡°Then how do we wake him up Rhea?¡± Lucy asked ¡°We can¡¯t, I¡¯ve read about this. Only if the one he truly loves cries beside him. Then he will wake up. Her tears beside him will make him wake up¡± I said ¡°He loves us right? But why isn¡¯t he waking up?¡± Jaden asked ¡°Don¡¯t you get it?¡± Lucy asked Jaden ¡°Get what?¡± Jaden asked ¡°It¡¯s only Mum who can save him now¡± Lucy said to Jaden. ¡°How do we get to her?¡± Jaden asked with tears filled in his eyes ¡°Now, that¡¯s the problem¡± I said ¡°No, we have a bigger problem at hand.¡± Lucy said Chapter 18 ¡°How do we get to her?¡± Jaden asked with tears filled in his eyes ¡°Now, that¡¯s the problem¡± I said ¡°No, we have a bigger problem at hand.¡± Lucy said ¡°And what could that be mydy?¡± Willow asked ¡°The one that did this is definitelying back for us. And we don¡¯t even know who she is¡± Lucy said ¡°And with our father in this state, we have a bigger problem¡± She added ¡°All we need to do now is to find mum¡±Jaden said ¡°How can you find someone who doesn¡¯t want to be found?¡± Lucy asked ¡°I don¡¯t know but we have to do something we can just sit here ¡± Jaden said ¡°He¡¯s right. We have to prepare for what¡¯sing.¡± Willow said ¡°Lucy,e with me.¡± I said to Lucy and she nodded her head in response and followed me ¡°Jaden and I will look after him for now¡± Willow said and I and Lucy exited the room. Heading towards our room, I wondered how to reach our mother. It¡¯s been days and she has not reached out. I turned to Lucy who walked beside me, she looked really tensed. I could see the fear in her just looking at her face because it is written all over her face. Getting to the room, I took out the spell book and asked her to help me so that we could cast a containment spell to keep us safe for now. ¡°Help out with the containment spell please?¡± I asked Lucy ¡°Me?¡± She said looking around as if there was another person with us in the room ¡°Yes, you. Who else would I be talking to if not you?¡± I asked ¡°But I don¡¯t have magic powers like you¡± she said ¡°Yes you don¡¯t have powers like me but you have powers¡± I said to her ¡°How? I don¡¯t understand ¡± she asked ¡°I have read about witches like you back at home. You have powers, but you can¡¯t use them on your own except you connect to someone who has magic or something magical before you can cast I spell.¡± I said to her. ¡°Are you sure about that?¡± She asked ¡°Yes, I¡¯m sure now help out with this.¡± I said to her as she sat down with me on the floor. ¡°What spell is this again?¡± She asked ¡°It¡¯s a containment spell. All you have to do is to repeat after me¡± I said to her and she nodded in response I asked her to stretch out her hands and she did. I ced mine on top of hers, closed my eyes and began to chant the containment spell and she repeated after me. Finally, we were done. I opened my eyes and asked her to open hers. ¡°You can open your eyes now¡± I said to her as she opened her eyes ¡°It¡¯s done¡± I said to her ¡°You could do this by yourself, why did you want me to do cast the spell with you?¡± she asked ¡°That¡¯s because, if I should cast the spell alone, it would be easy for any witch to tear it down but with our magicbined, it will take a long time before anyone can bring it down¡± I exined ¡°Okay. Can I ask you for something?¡± She asked? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. ¡°Yes, you can¡± I replied ¡°Could you please teach me some spells?¡± She asked ¡°Yes of course. Let me know when you are ready¡± I said to her ¡°Okay. I will¡± she replied ¡°And also, you can make use of my spell book anytime ¡± I said to her ¡°That¡¯s great, thank you.¡± She said ¡°Can I use it now?¡± She asked ¡°Yes, you can¡± I replied as she took the spell book and left the room. ~Jaden¡¯s POV~ The next day, Father¡¯s got worse and mother still hasn¡¯t made contact with us. ¡°He has gone deeper into his sleep, if we don¡¯t do anything now, He might end like this forever and we might end up losing him,¡± Willow said ¡°You¡¯ve been sitting here for since yesterday, go freshen up and have something to eat¡± he added ¡°Okay, I will be back.¡± I said to him as I went to my room. After freshening up, I came down to eat and found Rhea and Lucy already sitted with the food in front of them untouched. I sat with down and for the first time it everything felt so awkward not having father eat with us. ¡°Have you heard anything from mother?¡± I asked Rhea ¡°Not yet. She hasn¡¯t but I¡¯m sure she will ¡± Rhea said. ¡°I¡¯ve lost my appetite ¡± I said looking at the food ¡°Same here¡± Lucy and Rhea said looking at their food We all stood up and went to fathers room and found Willow holding his hands. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± I asked ¡°I was just talking to him when he suddenly grabbed my hands¡± Willow said showing us Fathers grip. He tried to pull away but his grip was firm. ¡°Help me¡± father said as a drop of tear fell from his eyes We were all surprised at what was going on and at the same time confused on what to do. ¡°He¡¯s trapped somewhere in his mind and he is trying to get out¡± Willow said ¡°I think for the meantime, we have to engage him in a conversation till we find your mother so that we won¡¯t loose him.¡± He added ¡°Yes, he is right. At least it will buy us some time to get mum¡± Rhea said ¡°But I don¡¯t think we are safe here¡± I said to them ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that. We already used the containment spell. So we are safe for now¡± Rhea said ¡°You said it yourself, it¡¯s a witch we are up against. She could tear down the spell like before¡± I said to Rhea ¡°What do you mean by before?¡± Lucy asked ¡°Don¡¯t worry, trust me we are safe for now¡± Rhea assured ¡°Even if she tries to tear it down, it will take time before she could do that.¡± She added ¡°How long could that be?¡± I asked. ¡°It will take her at least three to four days before she can bring this one down.¡± She replied ¡°That¡¯s not enough time though but let¡¯s see how it goes¡± Willow said ¡°We have to prepare for the worst. We don¡¯t know what¡¯sing¡± he added ~Greeta¡¯s POV~ ¡°We attack at dawn¡± Greeta said to Eric ¡°Now, I¡¯m beginning to like you¡± Eric said ¡°After a long wait, I will finally get to ripped out that little brats heart with my bare hands¡± Eric thought to himself ¡°You can have the boy while I take care of the girl¡± Greeta said to Eric Chapter 19 ¡°You can have the boy while I take care of the girl,¡± Greeta said to Eric ¡°We have to wait till nightfall,¡± Eric said ¡°Okay, you wish is mymand as long as you live the girl to me,¡± Greeta said ¡°You need not worry, she¡¯s all yourself and others,¡± Eric said Greeta smiled devilishly knowing that she has gotten what she wanted. Eric on the other hand was clueless about what was going on in her mind. *** It was nightfall already and Eric was ready to attack. Getting to the gate, Greeta noticed something different about the whole ce. Eric¡¯s men tried to move in¡­ ¡°No, don¡¯t ¡± Greeta shouted but it was already toote. The current from the containment spell already threw them back. ¡°Don¡¯t your men understand how to take instructions before they act?¡± She asked ¡°Now look at the mess they¡¯ve caused¡± she added Eric frowned looking at them on the ground before turning to Greeta. ¡°Just wait after this battle is over, I will teach this witch a lesson for talking to me anyhow she likes,¡± Eric thought to himself ¡°She¡¯s a smart little with, h¡±, Greeta saidThis is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What¡¯s happening?¡± Eric asked ¡°It¡¯s a containment spell, but I can bring it down,¡± Greeta said ¡°Okay. Be fast about that¡± Eric said ¡°Sure, I will¡± she replied as she began to chant a spell that would bring down the containment spell. ~Rhea¡¯s POV~ Rhea!!! Rhea!!! Rhea!!! I heard Lucy shout running into Father¡¯s room as someone who is being pursued by a ghost. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Jaden and I asked worriedly Finally, she got to us and was panting seriously. We tried to calm her down but she didn¡¯t let us¡­ ¡°We are surrounded,¡± she said ¡°What do you mean by we are surrounded?¡± Willow asked as he went outside to check what was going on. Jaden and I looked confused about the whole situation. Willow rushed back into the room. ¡°It¡¯s Eric. He¡¯s here and he has brought a witch with her¡± Willow said ¡°It¡¯s her again. I can feel her powers¡± Lucy said ¡°How much time do we have ?¡± Jaden asked me as the ground shook like an earthquake ¡°Not much time I guess,¡± I said ¡°I thought we have like three days or more?¡± He asked ¡°She¡¯s a ck witch and she¡¯s more powerful than Rhea,¡± Lucy said ¡°Oh no, mother if you are going toe, now will be the right time toe,¡± I thought to myself. ¡°Jaden and I will lead the other wolves while you two stay here and figure some things out,¡± Willow said as he exited the room with Jaden hurriedly. ¡°What are we going to do now?¡± I kept on asking myself Lucy held their father¡¯s hand and cried out to him. ¡°Father, you have to wake up now. We need you. Your children need you¡± she said as father began to move on his bed and tears dropped from his eyes. ¡°He wants to wake up but he¡¯s trapped,¡± I said to Lucy. ¡°I wonder if she¡¯s watching what¡¯s happening right now?¡± Lucy said They began to shake again which got us scared. We held our Father¡¯s hands tightly not wanting to go anytime soon. Soon after, the earthquake was over. Everywhere seemed to be still. ¡°Oh no, they are in,¡± I said to Lucy looking at her ¡°We can¡¯t just stay here. Let¡¯s help them out¡± Lucy said to me. For a minute I wondered if it was still the same person that was scared a while ago and that just said we should go fight. I nodded in response as we both went outside. Getting outside, Father¡¯s men were ready to attack same as those on the other side. ¡°What are you two doing here?¡± Jaden asked ¡°You need our help. Besides, only a witch can fight a witch¡± I said to him ¡°They are right, we need all the help we can get,¡± Willow said to Jaden. ~Greeta¡¯s POV~ Trying to bring down the containment spell, Greeta opened her eyes and found Derrick¡¯s men and son already gathered waiting to attack. She let out a devilish smile. Finally, the spell was down and Eric came forward. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to die, hand over the boy and the girl,¡± Eric said pointing at Rhea who just came outside with Lucy. But he didn¡¯t get any response. Then he went back and told his meant to get ready to fight. Turning to Greeta¡­ ¡°The girl is all yours,¡± he said to her ¡°The pleasure is all mine¡±She replied ~Rhea¡¯s POV~ ¡°If only this was a dream, I would love to wake up from it. I just met my family and now I¡¯m gonna fight a fight I know nothing about¡± I thought to myself ¡°Rhea look, I think you¡¯ve got an admirer,¡± Lucy said to me ¡°Yeah, I noticed. She wants me but I don¡¯t know why. All I know is that I¡¯m not gonna let her have her way¡± I said Eric¡¯s men began to attack. Willow, Jaden, and the others fought back but they were too many. Lucy and I ran into the house and the witch followed. She caught up to us and threw some spells at us, I was able to wage them. Lucy and I separated and ran in the opposite direction. I thought she would follow me to keep Lucy safe. But instead, she went after Lucy. Everywhere became quiet. I couldn¡¯t hear the noise of people fighting. I wondered what was going on. Suddenly I heard someone shouting. ¡°Come out now or else she dies¡± I peeped through the window and was shocked by what I found. Most of Dad¡¯s men were dead and the remaining ones were on their knees. Willow was badly injured on the ground while Eric grabbed Jaden by his neck. ¡°I will count that to ten and if you are not out, we will kill them both,¡± the witch said as she began to count down. I quickly rushed down to save my siblings. ¡°Stop¡± I shouted ¡°I¡¯m here. Let them go¡± I said to her as she let go of Lucy. Suddenly, I couldn¡¯t control my body again. I don¡¯t know what she¡¯s doing to me. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will make sure you enjoy the pain your grandmother gave to my mother her daughter, little Nice¡± the witch said ¡°Nice???¡± ¡°What does she mean by that?¡± I thought to myself as the pain got worst. ~Derrick¡¯s POV~ Trapped in between Life and death, I could hear my children call out to me. I tried to reach out to them but couldn¡¯t find a way out. Everywhere was dark. I kept wandering to see if I could get a glimpse of light or maybe a way to live in this pool of darkness. Suddenly, I saw a light from afar, I ran towards it. I opened my eyes and found Karen next to me. ¡°You¡¯ve got to wake up now, our children need us,¡± she said to me and I quickly remembered that something was wrong. We quickly rushed outside. ¡°Enough!!!¡± Karen shouted as she broke the spell the witch used on Rhea. Chapter 20 ¡°You¡¯ve got to wake up now, our children need us,¡± she said to me and I quickly remembered that something was wrong. We quickly rushed outside. ¡°Enough!!!¡± Karen shouted as she broke the spell Greeta used on Rhea as she fell to the ground. ¡°Well, well, well, look who finally came to the party,¡± Greeta said ¡°Let my children be,¡± Karen said in anger ¡°Oh no, I¡¯m scared¡± Greeta mocked ¡°My children have nothing to do with what happened to you or your mother so leave them out of this¡± Karen warned.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°They¡¯ve got everything to do with it¡± Greeta replied ¡°Don¡¯t me anyone for your mother¡¯s mistake or your mistake. Just face the truth, we¡¯ve got nothing to do with your mother¡¯s death. Stop going around looking for someone to take out your meaningless revenge on¡± Karen said ¡°Your mother was the cause of my mother¡¯s death. Though I¡¯ve gotten rid of her, I¡¯m not still satisfied. I want you all to feel the pain your mother caused us¡± Greeta said in anger ¡°I know you are upset but try to find out the truth before doing anything that will hurt you,¡± Karen said trying to convince Greeta ¡°Have you ever wondered why our mothers didn¡¯t talk to each other, or what was it that drifted them apart?¡± She added ¡°I don¡¯t care¡± Greeta replied in an angry tone Watching what was going on, I found Eric holding Jaden by the neck. Anger filled my heart. At that moment, I wanted to crush every piece of him forying his filthy hands on my son. ¡°How dare you hurt my family?¡± I asked Eric angrily ¡°I promise you, you¡¯re going to regret this very day¡± I cursed at him ¡°Watch what you say or you will regret it¡± Eric warned ¡°Is he the one that is said to be the strongest of all wolves, the one who is to rule over us?¡± He asked with a burst of mockingughter which got me angrier ¡°You¡¯ll regret being born kid,¡± he said looking at Jaden who gasped for air. ~Rhea¡¯s POV~ The witch¡¯s spell on me was so painful that even after she let me go, I could feel the pain. I looked up and found my mother and father standing there. Father looked really angry it showed in his face and eyes as he stared at Eric who held Jaden by his neck. Mother and the witch exchanged words, I couldn¡¯t understand what they were talking about because of the pain. Confused about what was going on, I wondered how mother got here without being noticed. Well, she¡¯s a witch, I¡¯m not that surprised. I tried to crawl to them as my mother rushed to help me up. ¡°Aww that¡¯s so touching¡± The witch mocked ¡°But I¡¯m sorry, it won¡¯tst for long¡± she warned ¡°Let him go¡± father warned Eric ¡°Or what?¡± Eric asked as father got angrier ¡°Live him out of this and face me,¡± father said to Eric ¡°It¡¯s him I came for, not you,¡± Eric said to father as he tried to make a move ¡°Ah ah, I wouldn¡¯t do that if I were you. Make any wrong move and I will make sure you will regret it for the rest of your life¡± Eric threatened ¡°You don¡¯t know what you are getting into¡± father said as his eyes turned red which made Eric scared a little but wouldn¡¯t let Jaden go Lucy stood up and ran close to their o father for protection as mother helped her up. ~ Lucy¡¯s POV~ Stood up and found my father standing in front of me. His eyes were red, he looked like he was gonna rip someone apart. Regardless of that, I quickly ran to him and hid at his back for protection. I turned and found Rhea and mother and on the other side, the witch and Eric who held Jaden by his neck. At this point, Father had no other choice but to do what Eric demands in other to save Jaden. I wish there was something I could do to help. Just then I remembered that I had powers and I could only use them if I siphon energy from a supernatural being and my father happens to be one. Thanks to the book Rhea gave me, I was able to grab some things in it. I quickly touched my father so could siphon from him. I cast a spell on a swordying on the ground and directed it to Eric which made him let go of Jaden to dodge it but unfortunately for him, it gave him a cut on his hand. Father saw this as an opportunity and rushed Eric. He grabbed Eric by his throat and Eric gasped for air. Knowing how strong Father was, he couldn¡¯t do anything to get himself free from his father¡¯s grip. ¡°I warned you, didn¡¯t I ?¡± Father asked Eric in anger ¡°Now tell your men to back down or I will crush you and I will make sure you get to feel every bit of the pain¡± father warned Eric persisted until he could no longer take the pain from m father¡¯s grip. He gave his mean sign to surrender and they all did. Ahhhh I felt a sharp pain in my head and I cked out. ~Greeta¡¯s POV~ Seeing what was going on, Greeta decided that this was the chance for her to escape. It looked like they¡¯d already lost the battle. But she had to do something that would cause Karen pain. Everyone¡¯s attention was on Eric so she used the opportunity to get hold of Lucy whose attention was on her Father and Eric. She cast a spell that made her sleep. ¡°You are so going to pay for what your mother did to my mother,¡± Greeta said as she disappeared with Lucy and Eric and his men before Karen could do anything to save her daughter. They appeared in Eric¡¯s house. Eric was so angry and frustrated that he couldn¡¯t aplish his mission. ¡°You need not worry, they wille to us,¡± Greeta said pointing at Lucy who was still unconscious ¡°Now, we have to prepare and wait for them. We lost at their home now we won¡¯t let them win us. We can¡¯t let them take us unaware.¡± She added Chapter 21 ¡°You need not worry, they wille to us eventually,¡± Greeta said pointing at Lucy who was still unconscious ¡°Now, we have to prepare and wait for them. We lost at their home now we won¡¯t let them win us. We can¡¯t let them take us unaware.¡± She added ¡°Fool, we have but twelve days left. And with this, you just angered the beast more ¡± Eric said in anger ¡°Who¡¯s the beast you are talking about?¡± Greeta asked ¡°Don¡¯t you know, her father Derrick is the beast,¡± Eric stated ¡°No one has ever defeated him. He is none like others. He is a breed of an almost extinct wolf-like animal. My father used to be the strongest not until the prophecy came and my father tried to kill the boy and got killed by Derrick. I¡¯ve hated and feared him.¡± Derrick wailed ¡°When I learned that he had separated himself from his family, I began plotting ways to get rid of his son and aplish my father¡¯s goal to secure our name.¡± He added ¡°So what?¡± Greeta asked ¡°What do you mean so what? It¡¯s over already¡± He said ¡°So you are just going to quit like that. What a fool you are. And here I thought you hard balls to fight.¡± Greeta said ¡°Hey witch, watch your mouth before I help you do it.¡± He said pissed off at what Greeta said ¡°Hmmm, what do you suggest we do?¡± He asked ¡°We have to fight back and make sure we win. We took the fight to their home now it¡¯s time for them toe here.¡± Greeta said ¡°How do we achieve that?¡± He askedThis is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°No matter how strong you think you are, you still have a weakness,¡± Greeta said with a mischievous smile as she stared at Lucy who was still unconscious. ~ Karen¡¯s POV ~ ¡°No, this can¡¯t be happening. They can¡¯t take her. She is surely going to pay forying her hands on my daughter¡± Karen thought to herself as she helped Rhea back inside and Derrick also did the same to Jaden. Getting inside, Karen helped Rheay on the bed. She stood for a while staring at her daughter who was on the bed. Tears rolled down her cheek as she tried to step out of the room. ¡°Mother¡± Rhea called out She turned to her and immediately went and sat beside her. ¡°Please save Lucy, she¡¯s scared. I can feel it.¡± Rhea said ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I promise to save her¡± Karen assured as Rhea fell asleep Karen left Rhea¡¯s room straight to Derrick¡¯s room. As she walked, she thought of how she was going to save Lucy. Getting to Derrick¡¯s room, she couldn¡¯t find him there. ¡°Maybe he¡¯s with Jaden,¡± She thought to herself as she wandered around the room, going through some of the Derricks¡¯ things. Suddenly, the door opened and there Derrick was, standing at the door with his arms wide open, waiting for Karen. As soon as she saw him, she ran to him and embraced him as tears rolled down her eyes. ¡°I missed you,¡± He said ¡°I missed you too my love¡± Karen replied as they both hugged tightly before Derrick broke the hug and gave her a deep kiss. Karen couldn¡¯t hold back as she kissed him back as she had never done before. After a while, Karen broke the kiss. ¡°What happened my love?¡± Derrick asked ¡°Nothing, I just can¡¯t stop thinking about Lucy,¡± She said ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we will get her back. I promise.¡± He assured her as he gave her another warm hug. ¡°Okay, let us get some rest,¡± Derrick said as he led her to the bed as hugged her to sleep. ~ Lucy¡¯s POV ~ Opening my eyes, I found myself in a strange ce. I couldn¡¯t recognize anything here. It felt really strange. I tried to move but only to find out that I¡¯d been tied to a chair. I tried to break free but couldn¡¯t. ¡°Don¡¯t worry you won¡¯t be able to free yourself from this one¡± Greeta the wicked witch said ¡°Let me go right now¡± I shouted ¡°Dear little nice, if you know what¡¯s good for you, keep your mouth shut or I will shut it for you ¡± Greeta warned ¡°I dare you,¡± I said ¡°Well, I¡¯ve not got time for this right now. I will be back¡± She said as she left. ¡°Come back here and untie me. Let me go.¡± I shouted but didn¡¯t get any response from her and was left alone in that room. I wondered what my family would be doing right now if they would be looking for me but of course, they would be worried about me and would do everything possible to get me out of here. ~ Rhea¡¯s POV ~ I shut my eyes in pain as my mother left the room. I couldn¡¯t sleep because all I kept thinking about was Lucy. I wondered what they are doing to her right now. I know she¡¯s really scared because I can feel it. The room felt empty without her. As Iy on my bed, I prayed that this morning woulde soon and the pain would go away. ¡°Rhea, Rhea¡± I heard a voice calling out to me I quickly opened my eyes to see it was but the room was as empty as it was. No one was there. I thought it was my mind ying tricks on me since Lucy isn¡¯t here. Iid back and decided not to worry too muchforting myself that everything will be fine. ¡°Rhea¡± Again the voice called out. This time, I was sure that it was Lucy who called. But how? ¡°Yes¡± I answered ¡°You¡¯ve got to get me out of here,¡± she said ¡°Okay, but how are you talking to me,¡± I asked ¡°Yeah, I kinda used one of the spells in the book you gave me and since we connected, I was able to reach you¡± She replied ¡°I know but you can¡¯t possibly use a spell unless¡­¡± I tried to exin as she cut me off ¡°Yeah about that, she tied me up in this chair and she used a spell on it so I tried it to see if I could take a little energy from it. And it worked¡± She exined ¡°Okay, thank goodness you are okay. Don¡¯t worry we are going to get you out of the very soon. Just make sure you keep in touch and everything will be okay¡± I assured Chapter 22 ~ Rhea¡¯s POV ~ The next day, I woke up with pains all over my pains. I wondered what kind of spell she used on me. Finally, I got myself out of the bed and freshen up. Came downstairs and met my father and mother already seated, I think they were waiting for me but Jaden seems not to be out yet. I managed to walk straight to the dining table and sat with them. Soon after, Jaden made his way to the dining table to join us. The food was served, but after some minutes no one seem to have eaten their food. Jaden on the other hand yed with his food. While mum and dad just sat there saying nothing. I managed to eat some of my food but Jaden seems to have lost his appetite because of what happened to Lucy. ¡°Mother, can I ask a question?¡± I asked as I broke the silence in the room ¡°Yes dear, go ahead and ask¡± Mother replied ¡°Who is she and what does she mean by she is going to take her revenge on us for what your mother did her mother,¡± I asked ¡°Exactly the question I wanted to ask,¡± Jaden said ~ Karen¡¯s POV ~ Looking at my children, I could see the desperation in their eyes to know who Greeta was. Well, they have the right to know since she¡¯s their aunt. I have no choice but to tell them everything.This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Okay, well if you want to know, I will tell you who she is and why she is after us¡± I started ¡°Greeta, is my sister well, cousin actually. Her mother passed away when she was young. After her mother¡¯s death, she was brought to our house to stay with us because she had no one else she could stay with. My mother took her in but at first, she was against it but seeing that Greeta was little and had nowhere to go, she decided to help her. As we grew, my mother trained us as her own. She taught us how to cast a spell and use our powers but¡­¡± I said as I stared at my children whose attention was all on me. ¡°But what mum?¡± Rhea asked eager to hear what I want to say ¡°We were banned from using ck magic. My mother said that people that use ck magic are likely consumed by ck magic. My sister and I didn¡¯t practice ck magic as we were told not to but¡­¡± I said to them ¡°Spill it out already mum,¡± Jaden said desperately said to me ¡°She used the ck magic secretly without the knowledge of my mother. When mother caught her, she felt no remorse for what she had done instead she challenged my mother and said so many things to her, ming my mother for her mother¡¯s death.¡± I said ¡°What happened after that?¡± Rhea asked ¡°She ran away from the house and ever since then, I¡¯ve not seen her till yesterday,¡± I said to Rhea ¡°Did you ever ask your mother what transpired between Her and Greeta¡¯s Mother that made Greeta hate her this much?¡± Rhea asked ¡°Yes I did but she did not really tell me much. She only just said it was a misunderstanding between the both of them about ck magic. She said that Greeta¡¯s mother practiced ck magic which became an issue between both of them. She asked her to stop because she saw the ck magic consuming her. But Greeta¡¯s mother was too greedy to stop using ck magic, she refused and continued using it. And because of this, My mother cut all ties with her. My mother told her that she had warned her but she refused and for this, she is separating herself from her forever. But when my mother heard about her sister¡¯s death, she grieved for many years, she wished she did not separated from her and had stayed by her side. She had warned her before they cut ties that were why she didn¡¯t want to take Greeta in at first if not that she still loved her sister dearly. But till date, I can¡¯t tell what killed Greeta¡¯s mother and why she med my Mother,¡± I exined ¡°Who knows what her mother might have told her that she is too eager to take revenge on us for something we know nothing about ¡± I added ¡°The question is, how do we get Lucy?¡± Derrick asked ¡°For now, we don¡¯t know what she wants with Lucy, ¡°I said ¡°Obviously, she wants to get back at you using Lucy,¡± Rhea said ¡°As a bait to catch you¡± Jaden added ¡°We need to act fast. Who knows what she¡¯s plotting¡± Derrick said as they all stared at each other ¡°I just hope that Lucy is okay?¡± I said ~ Rhea¡¯s POV ~ ¡°She is okay. Well at least for now¡± I said ¡°How do you know about that?¡± Jaden asked ¡°We spokest night,¡± I said Father and Jaden looked at me confused about what I just said. But anyway, I know they will not understand. ¡°Did you contact her?¡± Mother asked ¡°No, she did¡± I replied ¡°But how, I thought she can¡¯t use a spell on her own?¡± Mother asked ¡°Yes, about that, Lucy is being tied to a chair right now and somehow the chair has some magic on it which she used to reach me but it is not enough to get her out of there which is why she needs our help now before Greeta does something we would all regret,¡± I said ¡°Okay, can you reach her again and let¡¯s know if there is anything she would know that might help us get to her?¡± Father asked ¡°I don¡¯t know but I will try and see if I can reach her¡±I replied ~ Lucy¡¯s POV ~ Closing my eyes was like a nightmare in here. It¡¯s been a long since I had water not to talk of food. I was very hungry and thirsty that my lips had already dried up. If I keep shut, these people will leave me to die here. ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± I asked but got no response which made me shout ¡°Who¡¯s there?¡± A man dressed as a guard came in and stood in front of me. ¡°You called,¡± He said ¡°Yes, can you get me water, I¡¯m very thirsty,¡± I said to him ¡°Yes¡± He replied as he left the room ¡°Lucy!!!¡± I heard a voice call ¡°Rhea is that you?¡± I asked ¡°Yes, it¡¯s me¡± She replied ¡°Thank goodness. Any progress on getting me out of here?¡± I asked ¡°Not yet but we need your help to get you out of there,¡± She said ¡°My, help, how?¡± I asked ¡°Is there anything or information you¡¯ve been able to get from Greeta?¡± She asked as Greeta walked into the room ¡°Who were you talking to?¡± Greeta asked Chapter 23 ~ Lucy¡¯s POV ~ ¡°Who were you talking to?¡± Greeta asked ¡°No one. As you can see, I am here alone¡± I replied ¡°But I heard you talking to someone,¡± Greeta saidOwned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Oh, that, I have a habit of talking to myself when I am alone,¡± I said trying not to rise any suspicion ¡°Try to see if you can get anything from her¡± Rhea said ¡°Can I have the water please, I am very thirsty?¡± I asked Greeta ¡°Yes you can,¡± She said as she helped me drink the water. Though it was not enough at least my throat is not as dry as before. As soon as I was done, Greeta was about to leave when I asked her ¡°What do you n to do to me?¡± As she turned to me ¡°Why do you ask?¡± She asked. ¡°Nothing. At least, if you are going to kill let me know so that I can prepare my heart to die by your hands¡± I said to her Hahaha!!! Sheughed ¡°Don¡¯t worry sweetheart, I not going to kill you yet. You arest on my list¡± she said ¡°Keep going,¡± Rhea said to me ¡°Then why keep me here?¡± I asked ¡°Dear, you are just a bait. You see, with you here, your mother would want to do everything possible toe to save you and by so doing, she will fall into my trap¡± Greeta said ¡°Ask how about the trap,¡± Rhea said in a haste ¡°What trap are you talking about?¡± I asked ¡°Enough of the question, you already know too much. Now sit tight, I will send someone to get your food¡± She said as she walked out and locked the door behind her. ¡°Rhea!!!¡± I called out ¡°Are you still there?¡± I asked ¡°Yes, I here¡± She replied ¡°Greeta just left, sorry I could not get much from her,¡± I said to her ¡°Don¡¯t worry, you tried your best. At least, we now know what she¡¯s up to¡± She said ¡°Okay, so what are you going to do now?¡± I asked ¡°Don¡¯t worry, we will soon get you out of there unharmed, ¡± she assured ¡°For now just try and see if you can make her spill out her ns. But be very careful¡± She added ¡°Okay, I will. And please, don¡¯t take too long¡± I said to her ¡°Okay, don¡¯t worry. Everything will be okay¡± She said as the door opened and a Lady walked in with a tray of food. She was pretty young, if I¡¯m not mistaken, she would be of the same age as I am. She looked scared. I wonder what a prettydy like her would be doing here working for those evil wolves and witch ¡°Here is your food,¡± She said as she dropped it on the table in front of me. ¡°Thank you. But how am I going to eat like this?¡± I asked ¡°Obviously, my hands are tied,¡± I said looking at my hands ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I know that you can not see me free so go get Greeta¡± I said to her as she left the room ¡°Rhea are you still there?¡± I asked ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here¡± She replied ¡°Can you hang on a little, I might get her to talk this time around, ¡± I said to her ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll try,¡± She said to me After a while, Greeta entered the room and thedy that served the food came in after her. ¡°You asked for me,¡± She said ¡°Yes auntie, ¡± I said in a sweet tone ¡°I can¡¯t eat this except you would feed me the food,¡± I said winking my eyes ¡°Don¡¯t act pretty, I¡¯m still gonna kill you¡± Greeta said ¡°Okay auntie, the food, I¡¯m very hungry. At least let me eat before I die for your hands¡± I said to her ¡°You are a very smart girl you know?¡± She asked ¡°Runs in the blood¡± I replied ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± She said ¡°But, I¡¯m not going to feed you today, I¡¯ve got work to do¡± she turned to thedy ¡°Feed her,¡± She said ¡°Yes ma¡¯am¡± Thedy replied ¡°Enjoy while itsts,¡± Greeta said as she left the room. Thedy stood there shaking like someone who had seen a ghost. I wonder why she¡¯s like that but anyway I think I can use her for now. ¡°Why are you still standing there looking at me? Come on, I don¡¯t bite¡± I said to her but she stood there with her face down. ¡°Hey, it¡¯s okay. Look at me¡± I said as she lifted her head I saw bruises on her face. I wondered who might have done this to her but I wasn¡¯t surprised, this is Eric¡¯s house we are talking about. ¡°Nothing will happen to you, I will make sure of that,¡± I assured her as she came closer and began feeding me. ¡°What is your name?¡± I asked ¡°I¡¯m Lydia¡± She replied ¡°Why were you that scared? Is anything the matter?¡± I asked. It was as if she became more scared. She looked around and went straight to the door to check if anyone was listening. ¡°First promise me that you will take me with you when you leave,¡± She said to me ¡°Okay, I promise. No, tell me what is going on¡± I asked her ¡°They are nning to wipe out your family ording to what I heard,¡± she said ¡°Greeta that wicked witch, she is making spells and potions that will hypnotize them when they get here, and by so doing, she will kill them.¡± She added ¡°So that¡¯s the trap she was talking about?¡± I said ¡°Rhea, did you get that?¡± I asked ¡°Yes I did¡± She replied ¡°Okay that¡¯s good,¡± I said to Rhea ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡± The Lydia asked ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that, just prepare. You will soon leave this ce for good.¡± I assured her as she nodded her head and continued feeding me As soon as I was done, she gathered the te and was about to leave ¡°Wait,¡± I said to her as she turned and looked at me. ¡°Let me know if somethinges up,¡± I said to her as she nodded her head in response and left the room. Chapter 24 As soon as I was done, she gathered the te and was about to leave ¡°Wait,¡± I said to her as she turned and looked at me. ¡°Let me know if somethinges up,¡± I said to her as she nodded her head in response and left the room. ¡°Rhea, are you still there?¡± I asked? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. ¡°Yes, but I have to go now, I am getting weaker because of the spell.¡± She said ¡°Okay¡± I replied ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will get back to you. Just try and gather as much information as you can. Soon you will be home with us.¡± She assured ¡°Okay. One more thing, how¡¯s mother doing?¡± I asked ¡°I¡¯m fine dear, just hang in there we will get you out¡± A voice interrupted ¡°Who¡¯s that ?¡± I asked but didn¡¯t get any response I called out to her once more but good no response. I think she has disconnected from me. Anyway, I hope they get me out of here soon. It¡¯s tiring sitting down for a whole day not to talk for more than a day. ~ Rhea¡¯s POV ~ I opened my eyes and found myself on my bed. My head ached. A while ago, I was talking to Lucy. I guessed must have gotten weak and cked out. As I walked down the stairs to go meet my mother, I felt very dizzy that I almost fell from the stairs. It felt like I¡¯d been drained of my energy. ¡°Easy girl¡± I heard mother say as I looked up and found her standing in front of me. She quickly ran to me and offered to help. Well, who am I to refuse help from a mother? Actually, I really needed that help. She led me downstairs and I sat down in the dining where both father and Jaden were already sitting. ¡°How is she doing?¡± Jaden asked ¡°She is fine but scared¡± I replied ¡°Scared is not fine,¡± He said ¡°I know but Greeta threatened to kill herst after she is done with us,¡± I said ¡°She must be really terrified,¡± Father said ¡°Yes she is, I could feel it, ¡± I said sadly. ¡°How many days do you guys have left before the full moon?¡± Father asked ¡°What do you mean by us? For all I know Jaden is the one that has few days before he bes the most powerful amongst all¡± I said as father and mother stared at each other. ¡°There¡¯s something you both must know,¡± Mother said as Jaden and I stared at each other in confusion ¡°The prophecy about Jaden bing the strongest amongst all was only a part of the whole prophecy.¡± Mother said as Jaden and I looked eager to hear what she was about to say ¡°So what is the other part of the prophecy,¡± I asked ¡°You and Lucy are also going to be powerful too just like Jaden,¡± Father said confusing us ¡°I don¡¯t understand. How are we also going to be powerful like Jaden?¡± I asked curiously ¡°You have my blood running through your veins and that of your mother¡¯s, ¡± father said ¡°So what¡¯s going to happen now?¡± Jaden asked ¡°We don¡¯t know yet¡± Mother answered ¡°How many days are left?¡± Father asked again ¡°I guess we have ten days left,¡± Jaden said ¡°Wow, that is really a small time,¡± Father said ¡°That means we have to act fast to get Lucy out of there.¡± Mother said ¡°Yes, we have to before it¡¯s toote,¡± Jaden said ¡°I have a n,¡± I said ¡± we will not go get Lucy now,¡± I said as everyone looked at me surprised at what I just said ¡°What do you mean by we won¡¯t get Lucy out of that ce now?¡± Jaden asked ¡°Well, the thing is¡­¡± I said as I told them the n I have in mind and they all agreed to it. The only thing left is to tell Lucy about the n so that she will too y her part in making the n a sess. ¡°I will try to reach out to Lucy when I am a bit stronger to let her know about it,¡± I said as mother shook her head giving me the go-ahead. ~ Karen¡¯s POV ~ I felt so happy knowing that no matter what happens, my children will look after each other. Just seeing how much they all want to get Lucy out of there reassured me that they will be there for each other. ¡°But wait, mother, how did you get here unnoticed by anyone?¡± Jaden asked ¡°Dear, this is my home. I know each and every corner of this house. ¡± I said as I looked at Derrick who stared at me in lust. ¡°Right Derrick?¡± I said without getting any response. He seems to be deeply lust ¡°Hmm, Derrick¡± I called out as Jaden and Rhea chuckled ¡°Yes, yes, right.¡± He said ¡°What was thest thing I said, Derrick?¡± I asked knowing full well that he didn¡¯t grab a single thing I said ¡°Hmm, you said¡­ Let me quickly grab something in the room.¡± He said as he stood up and left the table. Jaden and Rheaughed at their father who seemed clueless about everything. ¡°Well, I will be in the room if you need me,¡± I said as I went straight to the room to meet Derrick. Entering the room, I thought I would find Him in there but he was not. I walked straight to the dressing mirror and sat in front of it. Closed my eyes to relieve myself from stress and thinking when I felt a hand around my shoulder. It was Derrick¡¯s. ¡°How did you get in here?¡± I asked ¡°Through the door¡± He replied ¡°But you were not here when I entered the room at first,¡± I said ¡°I was, I watched you as you entered the room and sat down.¡± He said as he began massaging my shoulders which felt good ¡°Did you miss me?¡± He asked ¡°Yes, I did,¡± I said as my face turned red He nted a kiss on my chicks which made me blush even more. I thought it would end there but he immediately nted another one on my lips which made the hormones in my body go mad. Chapter 25 ¡°Did you miss me?¡± He asked ¡°Yes, I did,¡± I said as my face turned red It¡¯s been a while since I felt like this. It feels really good to be close to him.Owned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°How I wish this didn¡¯t happen to our family. We would be a lovely family envied by many, we would have all been together¡­¡± I thought to myself as I was disrupted by a kiss on my cheeks. My heart fluttered as he did this. It felt like the first day I saw him and my heart fluttered because of him. This alone filled my head with thoughts about what happened when we first mated as my face flushed red even more. ¡°What was that¡­¡± I tried to ask as I was interrupted by a kiss on my lips which made my mind go nk. All the thoughts in my head suddenly disappeared as I closed my eyes. ¡°You were saying?¡± He asked as he snapped me back to reality ¡°Uhmm, yes¡± I quickly opened my eyes and said confused about what he was asking about. ¡°You wanted to say something,¡± He said to me ¡°Uhmm yeah. About that¡­¡± I said trying to remember what I wanted to say but couldn¡¯t. It wasn¡¯ting, I guess the kiss must have caused me to forget it. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it¡± I said knowing full well that I have forgotten what I wanted to say to him as he chuckled with a smile on his face. ¡°Why are you smiling?¡± I asked curiously hoping that he doesn¡¯t know that I have forgotten what I wanted to say. ¡°Nothing,¡± He said as he started tough ¡°What? Tell me.¡± I begged to put on a baby face. I thought the facial expression would work on him like before but instead, he started tough even more. I wondered why he wasughing so seriously. ¡°Fine if you won¡¯t tell me, I will leave.¡± I threatened. As I stood up and was about to leave the room, I felt his hand wrapped around my waist from behind. I could feel his breath on my neck and his heartbeat. ¡°Don¡¯t go. I can¡¯t take it if you leave again,¡± he said as he held me tighter not wanting to let go ¡°What are you talking about? I would never leave you again no matter what happens.¡± I said with tears in my eyes as I turned to him and kissed him on his lips. I could see tears in his eyes. I wondered how he felt for those years without me. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t leave¡± I assured him as I hugged him. After a while, he broke the hug and kissed me deeply wrapping his arms around my waist and pushing me closer to him so that our chests crushed each other. Though he looked strong yet his kiss was so soft and it made me crave for more. Just when I was about to wrap my hands around his neck, he broke the kiss and began to smile. I was so disappointed in him and to top it all, why the hell is he smiling after what he had just done? ¡°I¡¯m happy you are here with me,¡± He said still smiling ¡°Matthew¡± I hissed even though his smile was cute and charming. ¡°What is that for?¡± He asked ¡°It is a sign of disappointment,¡± I said as I walked toward the bed. He chuckled as he hugged me from behind. ¡°I¡¯m sorry I wasn¡¯t there for you all this while. Don¡¯t be disappointed.¡± He said as I looked at him confused ¡°What are you talking about?¡± I asked ¡°Well, you said you are disappointed in me. I don¡¯t want you to be.¡± He said. ¡°I wasn¡¯t talking about that,¡± I said to him ¡°So what were you talking about then?¡± He asked ¡°Matthew¡± I hissed again as I broke his grip and walked to the bed and sat ¡°What?¡± He asked but got no response. I folded my hands and turned in the other direction, backing him. ¡°What did I do now?¡± He asked ¡°Why does it always have to be short?¡± I murmured ¡°What?¡± He asked pretending not to have heard what I said ¡°Nothing,¡± I said still backing him He chuckled as he sat close to me. I still won¡¯t look at him ¡°My love,¡± He said but got no response from me as I shifted from him a little ¡°Hey, look at me,¡± He said as he tried to turn me to face him ¡°What¡¯s the point when you are just going to make it short?¡± I murmured as heughed ¡°I¡¯m all yours,¡± He said as I turned to look at him I could still see a serious look on his face ¡°Matthew¡± I hissed again ¡°What now?¡± He asked ¡°Nothing¡± I replied folding my arms ¡°Come here,¡± He said as he drew me closer to him and held me from behind ¡°I missed your smile,¡± He said as ced a kiss on my neck which my heart flutter. I turned to him and gave him a deep kiss which he wasn¡¯t expecting. I broke the kiss and said to him ¡°I missed you too¡± On hearing this, he drew me closer to his chest and gave me a deep kiss. At this point I just wanted to have my man, I mean all of him. He wrapped his arms around my waist as I wrapped mine around his neck not wanting him to stop¡­ Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!! We heard someone bang at the door. We were both disappointed at the situation but whatever it is, it has to be urgent for someone to knock by this time. ¡°Let me get that,¡± He said as he kissed me on my lips I didn¡¯t want him to go but I had to. I kissed him back as we let go of each other and he went straight to the door to check who it was. He opened the door, and Jaden and Rhea walked in¡­ Chapter 26 I didn¡¯t want him to go but I had to. I kissed him back as we let go of each other and he went straight to the door to check who it was. He opened the door, and Jaden and Rhea walked in¡­ They looked worried about something with the way they both walked in. I just hope nothing has happened to Rhea. ¡°Come in dear,¡± I said to them as they walked toward me ¡°Is there anything wrong?¡± Their father asked ¡°Yes, there is,¡± Rhea said ¡°What is it?¡± I asked ~ Rhea¡¯s POV~ After dinner, Mother helped me back to my room and left. I thought of how Lucy is doing right now. I felt really bad for her being tied up in a chair all day long. ¡°Just hang in there Lucy, we will get you out,¡± I thought to myself as I closed my eyes to get some rest, ¡°Rhea¡­¡± A voice called out as my eyes shut open. It was Lucy who called. I wonder why she¡¯s calling me, I hope nothing bad has happened. ¡°Yes¡± I answered ¡°There¡¯s a problem,¡± She said ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Did she hurt you? ¡± I asked ¡°No, she didn¡¯t but I think we have a bigger problem,¡± she said ¡°And what would that be?¡± I asked ¡°Great got the house sealed with some sort of spell that no one can go in or out,¡± she said ¡°That¡¯s bad,¡± I said ¡°And I also heard she¡¯s making another spell that would make any magical being vulnerable to her,¡± she said ¡°Now, that¡¯s really bad but howe you got to know about it?¡± I asked ¡°I made a friend here.

My heart raced as the thought of Greeta having heard what I said went through my mind. Luckily for me, it was Lydia who walked in. She looked really worried. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± I asked her ¡°You¡¯ve got to be careful and you have to warn your people,¡± She said ¡°What exactly are you talking about?¡± I asked ¡°She is nning to wipe out all of you with the spell she¡¯s making,¡± She said ¡°Do you know what the spell is about?¡± I asked ¡°I don¡¯t know¡± She replied ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve warned them already. Im sure by now they will be looking for other ways to get us out of here¡± I assured her ~ Karen¡¯s POV ~ With the way Jaden and Rhea looked, I hope nothing bad has happened to Lucy. I hope she¡¯s alright. ¡°I think we might have a problem,¡± Jaden said as my heart skipped a beat as the thought of Lucy getting hurt came to me ¡°What is it?

Your powers will be useless in there¡± She said ¡°We¡¯ve got to find another way. But how?¡± Jaden asked ¡°That¡¯s not all, she¡¯s making another spell which she will use to kill us but I don¡¯t know what the spell is, ¡± Rhea said ¡°We will definitely figure it out. Go get some rest.¡± I said to them as they both nodded in agreement as they both left the room and shut the door after them. I paced around the room worriedly. Just then, Derrick grab me by my hands and hugged me. ¡°Don¡¯t worry too much, everything will be fine¡± He said as he carried me to the bed. He held me in his arms to sleep. He gave me a kiss on my forehead which unbelievably calmed me down. I felt relieved in his arms knowing that I¡¯m safe in his arms. ~ Jaden¡¯s POV ~ Leaving our parent¡¯s room, I escorted Rhea to her room. Getting to her room, ¡°Please, tell Lucy that I miss her,¡± I said to her ¡°Okay, sure¡± She replied and she said good night and entered her room.

Iy on the little bed in the corner of the room which was really ufortable. ¡°This nightmare shoulde to an end already so I could be free from this and be with my family. Finally, my wish to have a family again after grandpa¡¯s death came true, and now this¡­¡± I thought to myself as I slept off Zzzzz ¡°Get up sweetheart¡± I heard a voice say as I shut my eyes open and found Greeta standing in front of me with two men beside her. A smile escaped my lips as I looked at her standing right there in front of me and smiling back at me ¡°Is it time for my death already?¡± I asked her smiling at her as I sat up on the bed She held my jaw with her right hand which was really painful. ¡°You talk too much you know, I kinda like you,¡± She said to me ¡°Runs in the family¡± I replied ¡°Not yet, sweetheart, I¡¯m not gonna kill you now. You still have work to do¡± She said as let go of my jaw smiling devilishly at me ¡°Bring her,¡± She said to the two men who came in with her They both grabbed me on each arm as they carried me out of the room. I struggled to break free from their grip even though I knew it was a mission impossible. They were way bigger than me, there was no possible way I could fight them. I didn¡¯t know where they were taking me to. I was really scared, what gave me hope was the fact that Greeta said she won¡¯t kill me now. What bothered me was what work she said I had to do for her. I kept struggling till we got to a room that was closed. She stood there for a while before she opened the door and entered¡­Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org. ¡°Bring her in,¡± She said to them ¡°No, let me go¡± I screamed as they dragged me into the room Entering the room, it was a dark room decorated with candles. In the middle of the room was a very big circle decorated with candles too. Just then it hit me, ¡°This was what she was preparing. But what it is for, I can¡¯t tell, one thing I know, is that it cannot be a good one¡± I thought to myself ¡°What is all this for?¡± I asked Greeta but then she looked at me and smiled devilishly. ¡°You talk too much, just watch, you will understand,¡± she said to me ¡°Let her go now,¡± She said to the men as they both let go of me ¡°Why did you bring me here?¡± I asked ¡°You ask too many questions which are not good for your safety, y,¡± She said as she began to chant a spell. It looked like ck magic. I looked around and found everything in the house very creepy. I was so scared that I didn¡¯t know what to do. I just wish Rhea could reach out to me right now. Suddenly, I cked out. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a dark room. I tried calling out for help but it seems as if I was there alone. I couldn¡¯t help but cry. ~ Karen¡¯s POV ~ Waking up in the morning, I felt Derrick¡¯s arms wrap around my waist and I could feel his heavy breath on my neck. I tried to stand up but couldn¡¯t break free from his grip. ¡°Hey, good morning¡± I greeted ¡°Hmm, it is not yet morning¡± He murmured ¡°It is,¡± I replied ¡°Let me go check on the kids,¡± I said to him ¡°Stay a little while, please,¡± he said ¡°I will be back, let me check on Rhea and Jaden to see if they are both okay,¡± I said to him ¡°They should be. They are okay, ¡± he replied as he held on to me ¡°Just a minute,¡± I said as I used a spell to break free from his grip ¡°That¡¯s cheating,e back to bed,¡± He said ¡°I will be back,¡± I said as I blew him a kiss in the air and left the room Getting to Jaden¡¯s room, I couldn¡¯t find him. I thought to myself that he might be in Rhea¡¯s room. So I went straight to Rhea¡¯s room. Reaching Rhea¡¯s room, I entered her room and found her still on her bed with no sign of Jaden. I wanted to let her be but the look on her face shows that she is in distress. ¡°Rhea! Rhea!!¡± I called out but got no response from her I went closer to check on her if she was really distressed. I got closer to her and found out that she was really sweating and struggling on her bed. I tried to wake her up but couldn¡¯t. I called out her name several times but got no response. I immediately went back to the room calling out Derrick¡¯s name, who came running toward me ¡°What¡¯s going on, why are shouting like this?¡± He asked trying to calm me down ¡°It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s Rhea¡± I stammered ¡°What happened to Rhea?¡± He asked ¡°She¡¯s not waking up,¡± I said as we both rushed down to Rhea¡¯s room. Derrick tried to wake her up but he didn¡¯t seed. Then came Willow as he barged into the room. ¡°We have a situation,¡± He said ¡°What situation could be worse than my daughter lying down here unable to stand up,¡± Derrick asked ¡°It¡¯s Jaden¡± Willow said ¡°What happened to Jaden?¡± I asked ¡°I don¡¯t know but he is not waking up,¡± Willow said ¡°No, this can¡¯t be happening right now,¡± I said as we all left Rhea and ran to Jaden¡¯s room ¡°He is not there,¡± Willow said ¡°Then where is he?¡± Derrick asked ¡°In my room¡± Willow replied as they all went straight to Willow¡¯s room and found Jaden Lying on the bed. They tried everything possible to wake him up but to no avail. ¡°Oh no, this can¡¯t be happening right now,¡± I said ¡°What the hell is going on?¡± Derrick asked Chapter 28 ¡°Oh no, this can¡¯t be happening right now,¡± I said ¡°What the hell is going on here?¡± Derrick asked ¡°They are all trapped,¡± I said to him ¡°Trapped, how?¡± He asked ¡°I don¡¯t know how she got all of them,¡± I said ¡°Oh no¡­¡± I said as I remembered Greeta had Lucy ¡°What is that?¡± Derrick asked confused about the whole situation ¡°She has cast a spell on them, and she was able to get to them using Lucy,¡± I said with anger written all over my face ¡°Spell¡­¡± Derrick said ¡°Yes, a spell¡± I replied ¡°You can get them out right?¡± He asked as he looked at me ¡°Right?¡± He asked again ¡°I can¡¯t,¡± I said ¡°What do you mean you can¡¯t, is this not the same spell she used on me? I mean, you did it before, you can do it again¡± He asked ¡°This is far from it,¡± I said to him ¡°So what do we do now?¡± He askedOwned by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°For now we can¡¯t do anything. They are on their own.¡± I said ¡°This is not good,¡± He said ¡°They can only help each other get out of this but first, they will have to find themselves,¡± I said ¡°Rhea has powers, she can locate them, ¡± he said ¡°In there, you be powerless, so she doesn¡¯t have any powers, she can¡¯t use magic,¡± I said ¡°This not good, it¡¯s really not good. This is bad news¡± he said as he stared at me ~ Rhea¡¯s POV ~ Deep in my sleep, I could hear my mother and father talking in my room. I wonder why they were here. Hope nothing bad happened to Lucy or Jaden. I opened my eyes and found myself in a ck pit. So confused, I looked around and couldn¡¯t see anything. I called out for help but could only hear mum and dad ¡°You¡¯ve got to fight your way out of this Rhea¡± Mum said ¡°Help me,¡± I said terrified ¡°You¡¯ve got to fight my daughter, you¡¯ve got to fight,¡± Father said Confused about the whole situation, I kept walking around but couldn¡¯t find anything just a dark pit.

So confused about the whole thing, I called out to Harry, I could hear him talk but I just couldn¡¯t wake up. I looked around to see if I could get a little glimpse of light but got none. I could hear mother call out to me too but I just couldn¡¯t seem to wake up. I wondered what was going on as I tried moving around but couldn¡¯t see anything. ~ Lucy¡¯s POV ~ Still in the dark, I thought of how I could get out. I tried reaching out to Rhea but couldn¡¯t. So I just decided to keep walking in the dark maybe by a miracle I would see some light but to no avail. It felt as if I was just walking in circles. But I didn¡¯t give up, I kept calling out for help even when I knew that no one is there to help. I heard a voice calling out for help. I couldn¡¯t tell where it wasing from because everywhere was dark. ¡°Who is there?¡± I asked ~ Greeta¡¯s POV ~ ¡°I¡¯ve gotten them right where I wanted,¡± Greeta said to herself as she sessfully put Lucy and her siblings under a spell. She then went to Eric to give him the good news. ¡°Get ready, they will being soon,¡± She said to Eric ¡°Alright, and this time make sure we win, Witch¡± Eric, said as he turned to Greeta who stood beside him ¡°I¡¯ve got a name you know, and it¡¯s Greeta,¡± She said to him ¡°Whatever¡± He replied as he walked back to his room ¡°Don¡¯t worry after I get my revenge on Karen, I will make sure I get to dispose of you first¡± Greeta said to herself as Eric left her there ~ Karen¡¯s POV ~ Pacing around the house, I kept thinking of how to help my children get out of there but the truth is, they can only get out of there by themselves. As I kept pacing around the room, Derrick walked in, ¡°Please dear, calm down,¡± He said to me ¡°I can¡¯t calm down right now,¡± I said to him ¡°But you won¡¯t get anything just pacing around like this,¡± he said ¡°You are right, I need to calm down and think of something,¡± I said as I sat down on the bed with him ¡°So, do you have anything in mind?¡± I asked ¡°I don¡¯t, I¡¯m just as confused as you are right now,¡± He said ¡°Oh no, why now?¡± Imented as Iid back on the bed ~ Lucy¡¯s POV ~ ¡°Who Is there?¡± I asked looking around but couldn¡¯t see anyone I could hear the voice from a distance. I decided to follow the voice and just maybe, I would find something. ~ Rhea¡¯s POV ~ ¡°Who is there?¡± I heard a distant voice ask I was scared to hear this. I thought I was the only one here. So I decided to follow the voice to know who or what it is. I kept calling out for help as I walked. ~ Jaden¡¯s POV ~ Confused about the whole situation, I decided to walk around to search for just a glimpse of light. As I hovered around in the dark, I heard to voice calling out for help. ¡°Oh no, this can¡¯t be what I¡¯m thinking,¡± I thought to myself ¡°Rhea, Lucy, is that you?¡± I said out loud ¡°Yes, I¡¯m here ¡± I heard a voice say ¡°I¡¯m here,¡± The other one said ¡°How the hell did we get here?¡± I asked ¡°I don¡¯t know¡± I heard Rhea say ¡°It¡¯s the witch Greeta, she did this to us using ck magic,¡± Lucy said Chapter 29 ¡°How the hell did we get here?¡± I asked ¡°I don¡¯t know¡± I heard Rhea say ¡°It¡¯s the witch Greeta, she did this to us using ck magic,¡± Lucy said ¡°So how the hell do we get out of here,¡± I asked ¡°I don¡¯t know ¡± I heard Lucy say ~ Rhea¡¯s POV ~ Days went by yet we were still trapped in the dark. We couldn¡¯t see each other. We could only hear ourselves. We were all terrified by the darkness surrounding us. We tried reaching each other but still end up not doing that. It was as if a force won¡¯t let us meet. We tried hard till we got exhausted. We were already very hungry and very thirsty. With the sound of our voices, you could tell that we¡¯ve got little or no strength left. We gave up and sat down so as not to drain the little strength left in us. Just then a voice said to me. ¡°You¡¯ve got to find yourselves to be free¡± I did not understand what that means but we have already run out of options what would we lose if we try this? Besides what could possibly happen? ¡°I¡¯ve got an idea,¡± I said ¡°Finally,¡± Lucy said ¡°It better be helpful,¡± Jaden said ¡°Come on Jaden, we need all ideas we can get,¡± Lucy said to JadenContent property of N?velDra/ma.Org. ¡°I¡¯m just saying,¡± Jaden said ¡°Come on guys, we don¡¯t have the time to argue so quit it,¡± I said to both of them. ¡°Alright, so what¡¯s your idea?¡± Lucy asked ¡°Alright, we have to work together, if we want to leave here,¡± I said ¡°How?¡± Jaden asked ¡°Like we have got find ourselves,¡± I said to them ¡°Find ourselves, how?¡± Jaden asked ¡°Let her finish,¡± Lucy said to Jaden ¡± in finding ourselves, I mean we have to work together to connect our hearts and mind in other to get out of here,¡± I said to them ¡°Now, how are we going to do that when we can¡¯t even get to touch each other?¡± Jaden asked ¡°That¡¯s why she said connect our minds and hearts dumb ass. With this I think I¡¯m older than you gosh¡± Lucy said ¡°Don¡¯t start Lucy, ¡± Rhea said ¡°Okay, I¡¯m sorry but it¡¯s the truth,¡± She said ¡°Don¡¯t mind her, she¡¯s just jealous that I¡¯m older than her¡± Jaden said ¡°Enough the both of you, we don¡¯t have time or strength left for this argument, we have to work together so we can leave here, or else you still want to be here. You can continue the argument when we get out of here.¡± I said to them. ~ Eric¡¯s POV ~ ¡°We are running out of time here, what if they end up noting here?¡± He asked ¡°Definitely, they wille. I¡¯ve got their children trapped and to get them out, they will have to go through me¡± Greet said ¡°Okay, if you say so. By sunset, the boy will fully gain power. I want him dead before then. Nothing must go wrong¡± He warned ¡°No need to be scared, I¡¯ve got it all nned out,¡± Greeta said ¡°Huh, scared, she¡¯s got some nerve. Just wait till this is over, we would see who will be scared¡± He thought to himself as he chuckled ~ Karen¡¯s POV ~ It¡¯s been days and nothing has changed. My children stilly there helplessly. I just couldn¡¯t sit back and watch Greeta have her way. ¡°We¡¯ve got to go to Greeta and Eric,¡± I said as Derrick stared at me. ¡°You are right, we can¡¯t just sit here and watch. Besides it¡¯s today¡± he said as he left me wondering what he meant by ¡± it¡¯s today ¡± ¡°What do you mean by its today and what¡¯s happening today?¡± I asked confused ¡°Have you forgotten about the prophecy? They¡¯re going to be a full moon today¡± He said ¡°Yeah, you are right. Can¡¯t believe I forgot about that part. But that¡¯s enough reason for us to go get them before it¡¯s toote because ording to the prophesy, they will have to be together on the night of their transition¡± I said to him as he nodded his head in agreement. He immediately told Willow to get ready and also get their men ready. They all gathered together waiting for the nextmand. ¡°We have to get there early and we can¡¯t do that on foot,¡± I said to Derrick ¡°You are right about that. Any ideas?¡± He asked ¡°Yeah, I think I can get us all there,¡± I said ¡°Great, ¡± he replied ¡°But¡­¡± He said ¡°But what?¡± I asked ¡°Remember what Lucy said, once you are in there, your powers won¡¯t work.¡± He said ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s true. I remember. Don¡¯t worry we will win this fight together ¡± I said to him as he hugged me ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go,¡± He said as we made our way to meet the others who were already waiting for us outside. Getting outside, the number of people waiting wasn¡¯t what I expected. Everyone had gathered except for two men who were asked to stay behind and guard Rhea and Jaden. They were too many. ¡°Wow¡± Escaped from my lips ¡°Are you sure you can do this?¡± Derrick asked looking at him ¡°Yeah, sure. What could possibly go wrong?¡± I said to him ¡°Okay, let¡¯s do this,¡± He said ¡°Alright¡± I replied ¡°Everyone hold hands, let¡¯s make a circle,¡± I said as they all obeyed.
