Summer POV
I look at my family and see the genuine confusion plastered on their faces. I wish I could change the course of life. Maybe halt the time in it's flight and just relinquish this peaceful atmosphere a little bit longer.
We all know that war is imminent and quite frankly, irrevocable. This new discovery about the barrier just really set me on edge. However, being Sunny's host, I've learned not to show weakness. I am shaken but I will not give it away. Darius' anger outburst just opened my eyes and the possibility of enemies still dwelling amongst us, is frightening. When I erected the barrier, it was strictly to protect the people inside. Anyone with the intention of inflicting pain or instigating an uprising would not be able to enter.
However, I have no power to manipulate freewill. Everyone is unique and can do as they please. We have rules but we cannot rule the heart. You see, what the heart wants, it almost
Harold Hades POVIt's been days now since I closed myself up in solitude. I do not wish to interact with anyone. Not even my daughter Tina. I am both angry and ashamed of myself. I let blind rage overtake me and in the process messed up a plan I took decades to formulate. However, today I have finally decided to break out of my cocoon. I am not going to let failure deter me from carrying on with my plan.As I sit in my library, I take my time analysing everything that transpired in the last few months. I I backtrack and I am so ashamed to see how I stupidly instigated my own failure. I have been alright for so long because I kept my emotions in check. However, lately, I have been an emotional rollercoaster. Something that I have always despised. I always used to think humans wee weak because they let emotions control them. Now here I am doing the exact same thing. Mind you, I would never admit it to anyone but is the truth. I have always been cool,
Writer's POVAfter collecting Lenny's blood, Harold proceeded to do the same with the rogue prisoners and the vampires. Something in him told him not to discuss anything with Tina. He could not point a finger at it but something about the Azanian warlock got him quite unsettled. In as much as he believed him to be an ally, he wasn't sure anymore. Many an unexplainable events have happened since he set foot in the wizard realm. Therefore, Harold decided to tread carefully where the warlock was concerned.It took him days to gather enough blood for his grand plan. All this he did whilst cloaked in an invisible spell. He was so sure that no one saw him and he was beaming with pride. Little did he know that all he did was in the eyes of the warlock. Mtungagore saw his every move but did not intervene. All he did was wait it out so as to see where Harold was going with this. He wondered why all of a sudden the wizard was collecting different races blood.
Writer's POVHarold enjoyed lighter moments with his weird foster son. They had a late night snack and parted ways. Harold gave the boy a portion so that he could get the much needed rest. He obviously told him that he got it from his wizard friend. After making sure that Sid had slept, Harold went to the garage and drove out.According to the news, the world feared serial killers were to be transported in the early hours. Harold made sure to park his car at a deserted junkyard. There was no fear of cameras catching on to his shenanigans. He then cloaked himself in the invisibility spell and went out. He scanned the place and he was content. It was far enough from humanity and had enough land and trees. This would be perfect for his idea. He checked the time and knew that the prisoners will be loaded in the next thirty minutes if his calculations were correct.He then hastily created a portal and emerged right in front of
Writer's POVThe smoke was intense and a few of the law enforcers fainted from smoke inhalation and had to be rushed to the nearest hospital. The reporters were all there trying to be the first to capture the news. The fire brigade was trying to put out the fire for it had also engulfed the junkyard.Flashes of light from cameras made the whole scene look epic. It was like streaks of lightening penetrating a very dark cloud. The police could barely contain the huge crowd that had gathered near the scene. Some daring reporters still tried to break through the police barricade. The whole scene was chaotic. The police could barely hold on therefore, the Central Bureau Of Investigation had to take over. They succeeded in moving the general public onlookers away from the scene. It was their leader Gumball who had to instill a bit of fear in them."Now listen up everybody. I need you all to get back into your cars and drive home. If a
Summer POV"Besides, you all still need me for teleportation. Eh, don't look surprised as if I haven't done it numerous times."The nerve of this god just baffles me. Who even objected?"But Hermes, we have to take the car unfortunately. There is no way we can just pop up from nowhere in the human realm. We are not exactly trying to draw attention to ourselves."Hermes just stares at Gunther as if he grew two heads. A smirk smugly plastered on his lips. This is going to be one hell of a trip. As it is, I am the only one who can pacify this childish god. Somehow, he knows how to crawl under everyone's skin. I secretly glare at him and he shrugs then talks."Of course we will take the car dummy. We will all sit in the darned car and I'll still teleport us there. Mind you we have to be at the accident scene in the early hours to avoid a run in with the human authorities. If we drive, it's gonna take us long. We need t
Summer POVAfter Kronos granted us the twenty four hours of the day the convicts escaped, I was left feeling wary and unsettled. Harold was not an easy enemy to deal with. He never ran out of ideas and the way he pulled that stunt off, left me in awe. Admittedly, he was my foe but a very cunning one at that. Truth is his determination scares me. He is unrelenting in his quest for power."What's got you so quiet like this grand mama?"That earned Hermes a slap on the back of his head from Michael."Quit calling my beautiful mate Grand mama. She's only sixteen and you're a millennium old.""Urgh, you guys and your mate issues. Anyway, she bears the spirit of Rhea, who is my father Zeus mom. That literally makes her my grandma dummy!"Everyone burst into laughter. Honestly, there is no getting mad with this childish god. Gunther is driving and since I gave him the location, he is cruising with no problem at all. We sta
Summer POVI narrate the dream to the guys and Hermes crumples down in defeat. We all look at him expectantly. He knows something that he is yet to let us in on. We sat quietly till he decides to open up. What he tells us leaves baffled. Things just got real and we are so far from home. Our powers are limited in the human realm as we cannot reveal who we are. We all let out frustrated growls and unanimously agree to head home earlier than scheduled." If I am not mistaken, that is a fallen angel who has been stalking us. My only confusion is what he wants and what he will benefit from it. I would never want to admit this but I am also worried about that puny mate of mine. If this fallen angel could fallow us this far, he will stop at nothing to capture our attention. He singed your perfect skin in a dream and you still bear the scars. Your healing process is super fast but we can still see the scars. What of my story excuse of a mortal I have been g
Michael POVI recall how, from the moment they both came from the restroom, she was wary of me and quite cold with Summer as well. Something was off but I paid no heed. Damn the mate bond. At times it chases away all rationality. I brace myself for what's to come because, my gut feeling tells me it's going to be one hell of a rollercoaster ride.I soften my tone of voice and features as well. I firmly glare at Hermes not to say a word. After which I slowly stand up and sit by her bedside. I reach for her hands and hold them. I try and send waves of calmness to her. Being human, I am not sure if it will work. But it does, much to my amazement."Breathe Tania, breathe. I need you to relax ok? I need you to tell me everything you remember or recall that happened at that restaurant. Okay dear. Summer's life is in danger and whatever information you have is of paramount importance."Little do I know how true this statement is.
