THIRD PERSON POVTime had gone by quickly and the click was ticking on me.I had little to no time and I had to take advantage of it.The Full Moon would be in two days and I needed to get Belle out of the house so that I could perform my rituals.Belle's presence here would prevent Lilith from emerging and I needed her to be comfortable enough to emerge. Even though it was the night when she woukd be the weakest, she still needed to be strong enough to emerge.Time was going by so fast and if I didn't start preparing right now, I would miss this oppurtunity.The thought of asking the Moon goddess for help kept going through my mind and I couldn't just do it. She would rather die than allow that to happen. There was a higher chance of me winning this with her help than doing it alone.Lilith hated her sister and I could see that there was no love between the two so I was going to hope on that and use that to my advantage and make the Moon goddess chase her sister away from Edens body
EDENI was coming down the stairs when I heard their conversation. I couldn't help but stop so I could overhear what she was saying to him.I needed to find out what her plan was since she said she wasn't going to tell me.But why was she trying to get Roman to take the kids out?She said she wasn't interested in Belle so why was she adamant on it?For some reason, everything about it just sounded wrong and it didn't sit right with me. Roman didn't even notice that something was wrong with her. His attention seemed to be on his phone but that didn't stop her from trying.“Quinn, I need to speak to you. Can you come upstairs for a bit?”She stopped speaking to him and Roman looked upstairs at my voice and waved at me with a smile.She however, did not.She left him and came upstairs and I left tow air in my room for her. What the hell was she planning in that sick head of hers?“What is it? I'm busy."“You’re busy? Busy doing what? Trying to get him and the kids out of the house so you
EDENAs she left the room, she turned back for a moment.“But remember, you must not see Belle until after the ritual. The whole point is for her to feel powerful, if you see her, it will defeat the entire purpose of everything.”I nodded and closed the door behind her.I picked up my phone and dialed Alicia's number immediately.She didn't pick even after the third ring and I figured that she could be busy.All I had to do was get the kids to Alicia's for now and then somehow, I would get Roman out of the house .Getting him out of the house was going to be the hard part because he was going to ask questions about what was going on and why I needed him to take Roman with him.After what happened, I doubt he would feel free with letting me be alone. But I would have to find a way to get him to leave me.My phone rang and I put it to my ear, knowing that it was Alicia calling back.“Hey sorry I missed your call. I was putting the twins to sleep. What's going on? Do you need anything?”
EDENI was going to take the kids over to Alicia's place but she came over.I'd just woken up and Roman was in the kids room, getting them ready when she walked in.“Hey.” She marched straight for the bed and sat beside me.“Hey, thanks for doing this. I'm so grateful to you, Alicia. I mean, where would I have taken my kids?”“That’s fine. So what's going to happen now? I just take them and bring them back tomorrow? What time tomorrow?”We didn't really talk about that.“I don't think it matters. As long as you don't bring her back tonight. And make sure that Belle doesn't come here, please. I'm not supposed to see her.”She sighed loudly.“All this sounds like a lot. What's Roman saying about it?"I raised an eyebrow at her.“You think I'll tell him? I'm not crazy, Alicia. I don't think he'll be able to handle all that information.”“So you're saying Quinn is not Quinn anymore?"Before I could react, the door opened and Quinn walked in.“If you're going to talk about me, at least be
EDENI stood there as she made whatever incantations she knew.I had to undress while she marked my body in blood and danced around me, smearing the ground around me in white powder.Then she made a loud shout and then she fell to the ground.The sudden urge to throw up came up and I felt dizzy. It felt like I could feel something moving in me and I could feel like my legs were moving when they were not..The urge heightened and I finally wrenched and that was when I saw her again.She looked around like she was confused before she finally understood what was going on.This was the first time I was actually seeing her. Well, I had seen her before but that was the time I woke up in my car so I could barely remember her face or recall anything that happened.She looked nothing like I expected. She wore a red gown and her hair flowed down her back, she had a face full of makeup like she just came out of a salon.She was beautiful. So beautiful.I'd been expecting something less than what
EDENEverything happened so suddenly.It was like she was standing right in front of me one minute and the next, she wasn't.Balari was also moving at the speed of light. If she wasn't, I wouldn't have been able to see the lightning ball that was charged at me.She was the only one able to see it and she blocked it and sent it back to her.The only thing I saw was she flashlight shining as it hit her and her high pitched scream as she got burnt.“I will return! You have not heard the last of me!”Everything suddenly went silent and still. I looked around me and Balari stood behind me, staring me right in the eye.“Go to sleep now.”That was the last thing I heard before everything faded to darkness.By the time I woke up, the sun was shining brightly in my eyes and I could feel a weight beside me.The first thing my mind went to was Balari so I woke up with a jolt.Fortunately, it wasn't her that was standing above me.“Hey.” Roman greeted with a smile. “I was beginning to wonder if y
EDENEverything was back to normal.Well, almost everything. I didn't want to bring up Balari in front of Roman. I just couldn't help but not tell him about her.He thinks that everything is settled now. He'd even asked about how we'd got the spirit out which was something I didn't want to tell him.I'd just told him that everything was fine.I didn't know what Balari wanted or when she'd strike but I had to be here for it. I had to be here to protect Roman and the kids .Quinn thought I should go talk to her but I didn't see the need. I just felt that if she needed to talk to me, she knew where to find me.But I doubted speaking to her would change what's on her mind.But I would try to.Today was the day I spent time with my kids and we just went out to do things that we haven't done in a long time.Roman had work today since he hasn't been able to go to the office for a long time since he's been taking care of me so he had to leave today.I sincerely thanked him for everything. If
EDENRoman wanted to take me out to dinner but I'd fallen sick.I'd woken up with this nauseating feeling that stayed for the entire day and it killed me to even smell anything.“Or maybe you're pregnant again.”I was going to throw the bottle of milk in my hand at Roman for saying such a thing.“Pregnant again? Really?”He shrugged.“Wouldn't be so bad, would it?"“Roman, I pushed out a baby barely five months ago. I'm not a machine. I'm human too.”“Hey, hey, relax okay? It was just a joke, I didn't mean to upset you."He didn't upset me. Normally, I would have just laughed it off but I don't know what's wrong with me.For the past few days, I've been in a very bad mood and basically everything annoyed me.“It’s fine.”It was after that time that I felt like throwing up. I didn't want to tell Roman that I couldn't go anymore so I just had to act like I was fine for the entire day.“Hey Quinn, I need your help with something.”She looked up from her laptop.“Yeah, what's it? Hey Roma
