Carl weaves his way through the woods thinking that the young man he had just met seemed kind of familiar though he couldn’t recall where he had seen him before. He pushed aside a tree branch wondering why his mother chose to live here of all places. He had not seen her for years. They had fallen out when his son had left him and she had supported him. She did not like his ways. She had also not approved of the way his father had lived. She left a few days after his son and he had not seen both of them since then.He thought that no matter what she felt about him, it was worth a try to go and ask her for what he wants. After all, whatever he thinks her flaws are, she is a very learned witch.He marches on for a few more minutes and then sees a small hut in the clearing. He walks to the door, waits for a few seconds, and then knocks. There is no answer.“I was waiting for you.” a silky voice comes from behind.Carl turns around and sees his mother standing a few feet away. She looked v
Tyrus reaches home. He had not been able to find anything. The witches he knew either did not know anything themselves or would not tell him. He was hoping that the others had had a better chance than him. It was now almost night, the others would be here any time if they hadn’t reached already.He walks into the house and thinks that no one is back yet until he sees Esther walking toward him.“Hi handsome!” she says, “Found anything?”“Nope. You?”“No” she sighs, “I hope the others have a better chance than us.”“Yeah.”She follows him into his room.“You don’t mind my being here, in your room, do you?” she asks.“No. I don’t. If you don’t have a problem sitting around while I shower.”“Who said I’ll just be sitting around.”He turns around to look at her stripping down. He does the same. Both of them climb into the shower. Tyrus takes some body wash and starts rubbing it on her. Tracing her curves, her beautiful breasts, and her small curved hips. He pushes her against himself, kiss
Lilia and Brent kiss each other passionately in the deserted parking lot. Brent moves his hands from her face to her hair as she places hers around his neck. They kiss each other, drinking each other in.Brent moves his hands down to her waist, picks her up, and places her on the bonnet of his car still kissing her. He softly bites at her lips and then sucks at her tongue, moving his own around inside her mouth.Lilia slides her hands down to his back, pressing at his hips to pull him closer. She then slides them inside his shirt feeling his cold skin against her warm hands. She traces his torso with her fingers, finally stopping at his jeans button and opening it. He steps away from her slightly and then looks around. He wants to make sure no one is there. It is completely deserted and dark.He lifts her dress and pulls down her panties to her ankles as she pulls down his jeans and underwear. He climbs up and gently enters her, still kissing her, he moves down to her neck and then to
A wave of shock and fear passes through Lilia when she hears Damion’s words. A birthmark in the shape of a crown on their back. But she had that very mark, in that very place. She doesn’t know how to react to this piece of information. She just sits there motionless and then she feels Brent’s hand closing around hers more tightly. She looks over at him and sees that her shock is mirrored on his face, mingled with fear.She looks around at the others but Damion is looking at Esther and both Esther and Tyrus are looking at Damion. None of them know what this piece of information actually means. She looks at Brent again who shakes his head slowly. She understands that he is asking her not to say anything. She doesn’t think she could have said anything, even if she wanted to. She didn’t know what to say.The rest of them are now discussing how to find this person with the crown birthmark but she is not listening to anything they are saying. It does not matter what they are saying because
When Lilia wakes up the next morning, it takes her a few seconds to realize why she is feeling so miserable. Then, the memories of last night crash in on her.“Good Morning,” Brent whispers from behind her.She turns around and sees him lying on his side, looking at her.“How did you know I was awake?” she asks him.“The way you were breathing. It became less relaxed than when you were asleep.”“What is going to happen now, Brent?” she asks him anxiously.“Lilia, we are all with you. We would have protected the descendant of Oswyn even if they were a complete stranger to us. But now, it’s you. We all love you and care about you. There is no chance that we would ever let anything happen to you. All we need now is a plan.”He gets up and grabs his phone from the bedside table.“Lilia, tell me this. Would you be comfortable sharing this information with Ty and D. If not, I won’t tell them. It’s your call.”“Of course, we should tell them, I trust them as much as you trust them, which mea
Tyrus’ mind is racing with ideas about how to best protect Lilia from this danger. He looks over at her sitting on the bed and thinks that she is handling the fact that a lunatic may be after her blood quite well.“I think the first thing that we should do,” says Brent, “is to delete her records from any orphanage or foster homes she has stayed in and any place she has worked in.”“Yes, that would be a good place to start,” says Tyrus, “Lilia you can list out every place you remember being, living, or working in and we’ll get to work. The less information there is about you lying around, the better.”“Does anyone else know about your birthmark?” asks Damion.“Tasha does,” Lilia replies.“We’ll have to compel her to forget that information,” Damion says.“But she’s my best friend. I trust her.”“Lilia,” says Brent softly, “It’s not a question of who you trust, if Carl somehow reaches her then the fact that she has this information will be dangerous not only for you but also for her. Do
Four weeks laterTyrus is laying in his bed with Esther, both sweating from a passionate session.“Well, at least there is something fun to look forward to everyday along with all the success that we’re having in the field of finding the descendant...” she rolls her eyes.Tyrus does not say anything. For the past four weeks, the four of them had been lying to her about still searching for the descendant. They had decided not to tell her, but it was becoming more and more difficult day by day to come up with excuses and problems that they were not facing in reality. Tyrus sometimes felt a little guilty about lying to her, but then he reminded himself of Lilia’s safety and the fact that as long as Carl does not find Lilia, it is a win for Esther too. They have told her that Damion is going to look around in the city where Lilia is because Brent can’t and Brent has also gone somewhere on the pretext of searching. So it was easy for them. But he was finding it extremely difficult to lie e
Damion walks to the park holding a bag of donuts. Lilia’s classes were about to finish and they had planned to meet here. Tasha had gone to meet a relative of hers nearby so Lilia was alone today. Damion had spent the past few weeks with Lilia and it had been his best three weeks in years. He had found work in the accounts department of the University and because he was quicker than usual people, he finished it way earlier. The rest of the time he spent talking, walking around the city, and eating with Lilia. Many times, Tasha and her boyfriend joined them. But a lot of times, it was just him and her.He often visited Lilia’s room in the hostel. She shared it with Tasha and they played games or watched television together. He had spent such a long time in the pursuit of the mission that he had forgotten what it felt like to just enjoy life as it is and as it came and it was so easy to enjoy with Lilia. She was funny, witty, and up for adventures. They had gone around to a lot of adven
