"There is someone else I will like to see" Sophie finally let out. She had been trying to hold it back for a while."Greer?" her replica asked."Why are you waiting for me to say it when you already know it?" Sophie made an angry face."Because I do not know the reason why you want to see him so bad" her replica shook her head."So you are telling me you don't know what is in my conscious mind again?" Sophie smirked to tease her.The replica was silent for a while. She started smiling."Let me repeat myself more correctly. We do not know the reason why we want to see him so badly" she replied her."You are me, like you said. So I still don't get why I have to convince you before you will do something for me" Sophie complained."Before you could do anything. You have to convince me and that doesn't start today. You have been doing it since you were a kid. You just have to master it" she tutored her."Learning to become an expert in convincing my subconscious" Sophie chuckled."Actually
Alpha Jones kept breathing heavily as they waited for the Mage and Garol to come out.Time was going and none of them came out. He had known from the onset that the Mage going in with Garol alone is not a good idea"Garol!!" he called out loudly. He wanted to distract him.The Mage came running out. He threw the stone at Alpha Jones.It was sudden but Alpha Jones managed to catch it. Garol rushed from the room behind the MageAlpha Jones threw the stone right at his chest.Garol fell back into the room.They all hesitated as they couldn't hear anything."I think it worked" Tonia hummed."It should, if his heart is in the left part of his chest" Alpha Jones nodded."Actually, I am expecting some groaning, struggling. I didn't expect him to pass out just like that" the Mage was obviously in doubt."Let's confirm that then" Alpha Jones picked up the stone. He walked into the room with the stone held high up. He would throw it at him again if he showed any sign of being alive.He couldn't
Sophie noticed how everywhere was weirdly quiet. She hesitated and stared around before continuing to the main building of the Manor."Sophie!!" a female voice called from behind.She turned around and was surprised to see Tonia."Tonia?!" she couldn't believe her eyes.Tonia was coming from the quarters. She was breathing heavily as she moved close to her."What's happening?" Sophie questioned hastily."There's a demon in the building. He almost killed Alpha Jones and we have all evacuated to the quarters" she relayed."Almost killed Alpha Jones? What's that supposed to mean?" she was confused."He is dying" Tonia gasped.Sophie took off without listening anymore. She regretted ever leaving the Manor to go to the forsaken shrine.She ran from quarters to quarters until she found Alpha Jones. He was seated in a place with the Mage beside him. He looked well and stable."Tonia said you are dying!" she exclaimed. "What's happening, everything she told me, is that the truth?" she stared
"Ira o ri uvo" Sophie mouthed some chants.Garol released her from his grasps immediately. He shook off his wings like he was feeling burns on them."What is that, you muttered something" Alpha Jones questioned eagerly."Your wife is a witch, a very powerful witch" the Mage nodded with a smile.Sophie was also surprised. She said that unwillingly. It felt like there was someone speaking through her mouth and body."I do not even know what that means" she gasped."Whatever it means, I knew it made Garol feel pain and fear" Alpha Jones pointed to Garol who seemed to be backing off "I told you to make a choice" Sophie shook her head."I can't leave this place without the stone and killing you along" Garol breathed heavily. He charged back at Sophie and pushed her hard.Sophie fell down.Alpha Jones quickly bent over to grab her."I think you should keep saying more of those things" he advised her."I don't know what to say" she moaned."Just attack him with a made up mind. It wi happen
David came into the throne room holding a woman's hand. The woman's head was covered with a veil."You won't believe who this is" he stopped in front of Alpha Jones. He was breathing heavily. Alpha Jones stared at the Mage and then Sophie. He later bursted into laughter."What's this supposed to mean?" Alpha Jones asked. "This is the new love of your life?" he joked."Talking about love of someone's life. You are right but she is not mine" David gasped and shook his head. He was visibly tensed."Then take off the veil and let us see who is underneath the veil" Alpha Jones said sarcastically. He must have thought David was trying to be funny.The woman lifted her veil and threw it behind her.It was a middle aged woman in her late thirties. She looked faint and her face was covered in fear.The Mage stood up with his mouth wide opened."Is this a dream?" he moaned."What is this trick all about?" Alpha Jones questioned David. He was also astounded."Who is that?" Sophie whispered to A
Sophie was confused in her mind. Especially about her newly discovered power."And what are they, goddess?" she asked sarcastically."You will feel relieved. All these burden gathering on your mind. You will get rid of them before they fester" she said with a sober face."Thank you, ma'am. You are right. I need friends but you are none of them" she flashed her eyebrows. She walked backward, away from her."Don't make the same mistake I made" Tonia warned."You made a choice not a mistake. I will also make a choice" Sophie rectified."When I first got my powers. I felt like I am above everyone. That's how it started. Then I started making decisions, bad ones. Upping my game, I set goals that are harder than the one I already achieved. Having a friend that I respect back then would have saved a lot of lives" she shook her head remorsefully."Tonia! Get this right. You and I are nothing alike. I was raised in a place where all I was taught was cruelty, but I came out to be kind. You were
"Let's go" Alpha Jones stood up and headed out.Maria followed him with a face full of questions."I have a better idea. Since you can't remember anything about when you are dead and couldn't say anything about how you die. I think this will work fine" Alpha Jones said to her as they diverted to the basement."In the basement? Just tell me you want to lock me up. Don't go cunny about it" she scoffed."Yes. This has a lot to do about being locked up" he stopped in front of Tonia's cell and hit the bar gate.Tonia came forward."Alpha Jones!" Tonia sighed weakly, she turned to Maria. "Why does it feel like I have met you before?" she asked her."Because we have, my baby. You still have the same face like always" she moaned emotionally."And you are?" Tonia asked again. She stared dead in her eyes."I'm your mother" she replied sharply."What's this supposed to be? A final step to rehabilitate me?" Tonia asked Alpha Jones. She clearly didn't believe Maria."I am your mother" Maria repeat
David came into the throne room to meet Alpha Jones. He was looking around to check if they had company."Is there any problem?" Alpha Jones was getting worked up."Nothing, just want to confirm if we are alone" he sighed."We are, brother" Alpha Jones assured him. "What do you want to talk about?" he was eager to know."About dead people coming back to life. Maria" he moaned."Did you notice anything?" Alpha Jones was already clueless on the issue. He didn't know what to think or what to decide."No. But I heard some stories. From some guards. And I think it will be useful to us" David revealed."Some guards. Guards drink, and like kids they love bedtime stories" Alpha Jones chuckled."This is not bedtime stories, Alpha Jones. The guard is a living witness" David murmured."Okay. He can come in. I'm ready to hear his story" Alpha Jones bellowed. He was waiting for the 'storyteller' to come in."He is not here. He only told me the story after I promised not to reveal his identity. But
