Raul was kissing her so passionately and Kara was filled with joy on seeing them. His friends also surrounded them to celebrate with them. The witch took her staff and made to leave when Kara approached her and offered her a check she just wrote.
“Please take this as compensation for your hard work I am most grateful to you.”
“Oh don’t worry about it. I don’t work for pay.” The witch replied. “You on the other hand, and I need to talk.”
Kara gazed at her speechless. She wondered why the witch wanted to see her.
“It’s important and it concerns your death; the one Hayley saw that has cost her this much pain.” The witch winked at her. “You know where to find me so see you soon.” She concluded and disappeared.
Kara exhaled and turned to face the excited young ones. She smiled as her sister hugged her. she caressed her face and kissed her on the forehead. “I’
Ella got on her feet on seeing betty and Stan come out of the room together. She smiled in excitement at the duo feeling much better. She saw the look on Betty’s face and wondered if she had spilled the secret or not.“We’ll be leaving now,” Betty said to Ella who nodded in agreement. She waved at the guys and walked out. Then Betty turned to Stan and smiled.“It was a pleasure talking with you.” He admitted.“Same here.” She replied.“Come back anytime.” He added as she turned to leave.She turned around to gaze at him slowly. She never expected that he would want to see her again.“My home is open to you, anytime.” He concluded with a smile.She smiled at him and nodded in agreement. “I definitely will.” Then she left to meet Ella who was waiting outside for her.Betty was silent all through the ride. Ella was watching her study
Kara had returned to the city after paying a brief visit to the witch in her hut. She had gone alone after insisting to Tom and Heather that she would be returning to Wizzletown alone. She seized the opportunity to see the witch briefly in the forest since she now knew where and how to find her.She approached the witch’s hut and found her outside the house drinking from a bowl some soup she had prepared.“I knew you would come.” She remarked and sipped from her bowl without even gazing at Kara.Kara took a deep breath and approached her to take a seat beside her.The old witch moved aside for her and offered her the soup but Kara turned it down with a lovely smile shaking her head. The old witch smiled at her and continued with her drink.“It’s an old recipe used to keep the body’s immune system active even in old age.” The old witch explained.Kara gazed at her in silence. She was studying the old
“My name is Edna, ma’am.” She smiled wiggling her fingers nervously.Kara paused and swallowed hard. She felt that there was a reason she had thought of speaking to Edna so she asked. “Where are you from? Are your family here in Wizzletown?”“No ma’am. I am from another city in the West from this country. My family lives there but I came to Wizzletown in search of a better life since my family is poor and we can hardly afford to feed.”Kara listened carefully. Then the maid continued.“I met some guy who told me about an opportunity to make some money with some guys that called themselves the Scarecrows. He told me everything I wanted to hear and I was thrilled. He also mentioned that I was going to have to give up a lot and including my life to be able to enjoy those benefits. I didn’t care; all I wanted was to make money to feed my family back in my village. Little did I know that I was in for
The governor was surprised by what he was hearing. Edna gasped on seeing the expression on his face and quickly got on her feet. She thought that he was disappointed that she was sitting side by side with the mayor and was embarrassed.“You are welcome, sir.” She bowed slightly and made to leave but he called her back. She had her head bowed a little in shame.“It’s not what it seems, sir.” She began. “I can explain.The governor approached Kara slowly, his facial expressions still very unpleasant while Edna seized the opportunity to return to her duty post.“I think I better leave now. I’ll be downstairs if you need anything, ma’am.” She genuflected and left.Kara managed to raise her head to look into the governor’s eyes to try to study his expressions. “You really scared her and that was not necessary. She was only following my orders.”“I overheard
Back in the mainlands there seem to be order and a bit of serenity with Lucas ruling in the Western aisles and the priest ruling the Southern aisles, Northern aisles and the East wing. He has enslaved all the werewolves in those regions and his army strength is now more than that of Lucas even though Lucas’ army has more combating skills for years of experience in battle.Lucas and his minions have been strategizing using little information from Flint on how best to attack and he has placed his son and his luna under severe lockdown for fear of being kidnapped as the priest had earlier threatened.Spies from the city sent by the governor have been visiting to gather information from citizens on the current happenings in the mainlands.

The priest suddenly appeared before the spies who stood in shock as they were being surrounded by his slaves in their werewolf forms. The spies were frightened at the priest’s appearance. Their faces fell and their hearts started beating fast like it was going to fall off their chest.The first spy managed to bloat out. “We are not afraid of you.”“What do you want from us?” the second spy asked.The priest laughed out loud as he approached them. “I see that you two already know me.” He smiled and halted in front of them.“I don’t know what you want from us but be rest assured that we will not give any information to you. You’ll have to kill us both to get it.” The second spy addressed.“Hmm… I’ll you up on that offer. I mean, the part where I get to kill you to get the information I need. But today is your lucky day and I am in good spirits. So, I am just going to
Ella and Virgil have been spending lots of time together; chatting, going to the movies, shopping, and more. Ella had never felt happier. She was gradually developing feelings for him as they have been spending lots of time together.They had just returned from grocery shopping and were in Ella’s house to prepare some meal.“I will make some pasta with cheese for you. It’s one of my favorite meals and I assure you that you’ll love it too.” Ella assured him with a smile as she walked into the kitchen carrying some bags. Virgil followed behind her carrying a few bags too.He sighed. “Ah! I know… I hated it when Anna prepared it. But I never told her.” He teased.They laughed. Then he sighed again at the thought of her. Ella observed his expressions and saw that how much he missed Anna. She approached him and caressed his back gently.“It’ll be alright.”“I&rsq
