"Rhea, someone is coming after you. Be careful, stick to your father and siblings at all times" a voice said to me."Did you hear that?" I asked"Hear what?" Lucy asked"Nothing. Don't worry about it" I said trying not to raise alarm"What's the matter?" Jaden asked"Nothing. I just thought I heard something." I replied."No need to worry about it." I added"You don't need to worry, you are all safe here. No harm can come to you as long as I am here." Father said.We all ate in silence until father broke the silence when he was done."Get some rest after you are done. We will talk more tomorrow." He said as he made his way out of the dining and willow followerd Jaden finished."Alright ladies, see tomorrow. I don't think I will wake up early at the long stress I went through with Rhea." He said as we all laughed to it. "Don't worry, I get a nice fitting cloth for you." I said as I chuckled"I'm never going to let you pick out an outfit for me so don't worry about it." He said as he
Trying so hard to keep them safe, I discovered that Eric, wasn't the only threat. Greeta is there too. She has always longed for revenge for her mothers death. And she will stop at nothing till she hurts someone related to us.I will do what ever it takes to make sure she doesn't get to them.~before now~After the attack at home, I got hurt badly that I could not move. I lost consciousness. When I regained consciousness, I realized everyone was dead. The thought of Jaden filled my mind. I wanted to know if he was alright. I never wanted to use magic but right now it is required. I used the location spell and found Jaden lying helplessly on the ground. I wondered how to help him because I was seriously injured. Right then I noticed that Rhea wasn't that far away from him. So I called out to her for help. Luckily for me, she helped him. And ever sicnce then I've guided and watched them from where I was to keep them safe till they get to their father. Luckily for them, they both got to
"Try connecting back to her, maybe we can get her location from there" father ordered"Okay" I replied"No wonder she was able to get into your head because she is your bloodline," Lucy said. Now it all makes sense " she added" But wait, can you locate her," she asked"I'll try" I replied.I went back to my room and Lucy followed. I took the spell book and searched through it to see if I would see anything that could help it. Finally, I found it. The location spell. I tried using it but it wasn't working."It's not working," I said to Lucy"Why?" She asked"I don't know, I think there's a part of the puzzle we are missing," I said to her as I checked the book again only to find out that the reason why I could not locate her was that she didn't want to be found. According to the book, one can block their location if they don't want to be found but can only be traced when they make contact with another person using their magic. "So let's wait for her to reach out again," Lucy said as
"Lucy are you sure about this?" He asked "Yes father, but she's just standing there. She's not moving" Lucy said."I can feel her powers. I can sense evil around her. I think she's trying to hurt us." Lucy addedFather walked closer to the gate and asked us to go back into the house. We couldn't help but hid at the corner of the door to see who it was.Father gave Willow a sign to open the gate. At first he hesitated, but he had no choice because it was an order. Just when he was about to open the gate, Jaden came out of nowhere,"Father, I have something to show you" he said"Not now son, go be with your sisters inside and hide" Father said to Jaden"What's going on? Why is everyone as if they just saw a ghost?" Jaden asked looking at everyone"Get inside now" He yelled as Jaden quickly made his way into the house wondering what might have happened to make everyone so tensed.Getting inside, he saw Rhea and Lucy at the corner of the house peeping through the window."What's going on
"How do we get to her?" Jaden asked with tears filled in his eyes"Now, that's the problem" I said"No, we have a bigger problem at hand." Lucy said"And what could that be my lady?" Willow asked"The one that did this is definitely coming back for us. And we don't even know who she is" Lucy said"And with our father in this state, we have a bigger problem" She added"All we need to do now is to find mum"Jaden said"How can you find someone who doesn't want to be found?" Lucy asked"I don't know but we have to do something we can just sit here " Jaden said"He's right. We have to prepare for what's coming." Willow said"Lucy, come with me." I said to Lucy and she nodded her head in response and followed me "Jaden and I will look after him for now" Willow said and I and Lucy exited the room.Heading towards our room, I wondered how to reach our mother. It's been days and she has not reached out. I turned to Lucy who walked beside me, she looked really tensed. I could see the fear in h
"You can have the boy while I take care of the girl" Greeta said to Eric"We have to wait till night fall." Eric said"Okay, you wish is my command as long as you live the girl to me" Greeta said"You need not to worry, she's all yours" Eric saidGreeta smiled devilishly knowing that she has gotten what she wanted. Eric on the other hand was clueless about what was going on in her mind. ***It was night fall already and Eric was ready to attack. Getting to the gate, Greeta noticed something different about the whole place. Eric's men tried to move in..."No, don't " Greeta shouted but it was already too late. The current from the containment spell already threw them back."Don't your men know how to take instructions before they act?" She asked"Now look at the mess they've caused" she addedEric frowned looking at them on the ground before turning to Greeta. "Just wait after this battle is over, I will teach this witch a lesson for talking to me anyhow she likes" Eric thought to hi
"You've got to wake up now, our children need us," she said to me and I quickly remembered that something was wrong.We quickly rushed outside."Enough!!!" Karen shouted as she broke the spell Greeta used on Rhea as she fell to the ground."Well, well, well, look who finally came to the party," Greeta said"Let my children be," Karen said in anger"Oh no, I'm scared" Greeta mocked"My children have nothing to do with what happened to you or your mother so leave them out of this" Karen warned."They've got everything to do with it" Greeta replied"Don't blame anyone for your mother's mistake or your mistake. Just face the truth, we've got nothing to do with your mother's death. Stop going around looking for someone to take out your meaningless revenge on" Karen said"Your mother was the cause of my mother's death. Though I've gotten rid of her, I'm not still satisfied. I want you all to feel the pain your mother caused us" Greeta said in anger"I know you are upset but try to find out
"You need not worry, they will come to us eventually," Greeta said pointing at Lucy who was still unconscious "Now, we have to prepare and wait for them. We lost at their home now we won't let them win us. We can't let them take us unaware." She added"Fool, we have but twelve days left. And with this, you just angered the beast more " Eric said in anger"Who's the beast you are talking about?" Greeta asked"Don't you know, her father Derrick is the beast," Eric stated"No one has ever defeated him. He is none like others. He is a breed of an almost extinct wolf-like animal. My father used to be the strongest not until the prophecy came and my father tried to kill the boy and got killed by Derrick. I've hated and feared him." Derrick wailed"When I learned that he had separated himself from his family, I began plotting ways to get rid of his son and accomplish my father's goal to secure our name." He added"So what?" Greeta asked"What do you mean so what? It's over already" He said
"How the hell did we get here?" I asked"I don't know" I heard Rhea say"It's the witch Greeta, she did this to us using black magic," Lucy said"So how the hell do we get out of here," I asked "I don't know " I heard Lucy say~ Rhea's POV ~Days went by yet we were still trapped in the dark. We couldn't see each other. We could only hear ourselves. We were all terrified by the darkness surrounding us. We tried reaching each other but still end up not doing that. It was as if a force won't let us meet. We tried hard till we got exhausted. We were already very hungry and very thirsty. With the sound of our voices, you could tell that we've got little or no strength left. We gave up and sat down so as not to drain the little strength left in us. Just then a voice said to me."You've got to find yourselves to be free"I did not understand what that means but we have already run out of options what would we lose if we try this? Besides what could possibly happen?"I've got an idea," I sa
"Oh no, this can't be happening right now," I said"What the hell is going on here?" Derrick asked"They are all trapped," I said to him"Trapped, how?" He asked"I don't know how she got all of them," I said"Oh no..." I said as I remembered Greeta had Lucy"What is that?" Derrick asked confused about the whole situation"She has cast a spell on them, and she was able to get to them using Lucy," I said with anger written all over my face"Spell..." Derrick said"Yes, a spell" I replied"You can get them out right?" He asked as he looked at me"Right?" He asked again"I can't," I said"What do you mean you can't, is this not the same spell she used on me? I mean, you did it before, you can do it again" He asked"This is far from it," I said to him"So what do we do now?" He asked"For now we can't do anything. They are on their own." I said"This is not good," He said"They can only help each other get out of this but first, they will have to find themselves," I said"Rhea has powers,
~ Lucy's POV ~After a while, Lydia left my room and shut the door after her. I lay on the little bed in the corner of the room which was really uncomfortable. "This nightmare should come to an end already so I could be free from this and be with my family. Finally, my wish to have a family again after grandpa's death came true, and now this..." I thought to myself as I slept offZzzzz"Get up sweetheart" I heard a voice say as I shut my eyes open and found Greeta standing in front of me with two men beside her.A smile escaped my lips as I looked at her standing right there in front of me and smiling back at me"Is it time for my death already?" I asked her smiling at her as I sat up on the bedShe held my jaw with her right hand which was really painful."You talk too much you know, I kinda like you," She said to me"Runs in the family" I replied"Not yet, sweetheart, I'm not gonna kill you now. You still have work to do" She said as let go of my jaw smiling devilishly at me"Bring
I didn't want him to go but I had to. I kissed him back as we let go of each other and he went straight to the door to check who it was. He opened the door, and Jaden and Rhea walked in...They looked worried about something with the way they both walked in. I just hope nothing has happened to Rhea."Come in dear," I said to them as they walked toward me"Is there anything wrong?" Their father asked"Yes, there is," Rhea said"What is it?" I asked~ Rhea's POV~After dinner, Mother helped me back to my room and left. I thought of how Lucy is doing right now. I felt really bad for her being tied up in a chair all day long. "Just hang in there Lucy, we will get you out," I thought to myself as I closed my eyes to get some rest,"Rhea..." A voice called out as my eyes shut open. It was Lucy who called. I wonder why she's calling me, I hope nothing bad has happened."Yes" I answered"There's a problem," She said"What's the matter? Did she hurt you? " I asked"No, she didn't but I think
"Did you miss me?" He asked "Yes, I did," I said as my face turned redIt's been a while since I felt like this. It feels really good to be close to him. "How I wish this didn't happen to our family. We would be a lovely family envied by many, we would have all been together..." I thought to myself as I was disrupted by a kiss on my cheeks. My heart fluttered as he did this. It felt like the first day I saw him and my heart fluttered because of him. This alone filled my head with thoughts about what happened when we first mated as my face flushed red even more."What was that..." I tried to ask as I was interrupted by a kiss on my lips which made my mind go blank. All the thoughts in my head suddenly disappeared as I closed my eyes."You were saying?" He asked as he snapped me back to reality "Uhmm, yes" I quickly opened my eyes and said confused about what he was asking about."You wanted to say something," He said to me"Uhmm yeah. About that..." I said trying to remember what I
As soon as I was done, she gathered the plate and was about to leave"Wait," I said to her as she turned and looked at me."Let me know if something comes up," I said to her as she nodded her head in response and left the room."Rhea, are you still there?" I asked"Yes, but I have to go now, I am getting weaker because of the spell." She said"Okay" I replied"Don't worry, I will get back to you. Just try and gather as much information as you can. Soon you will be home with us." She assured"Okay. One more thing, how's mother doing?" I asked"I'm fine dear, just hang in there we will get you out" A voice interrupted "Who's that ?" I asked but didn't get any responseI called out to her once more but good no response. I think she has disconnected from me. Anyway, I hope they get me out of here soon. It's tiring sitting down for a whole day not to talk for more than a day.~ Rhea's POV ~I opened my eyes and found myself on my bed. My head ached. A while ago, I was talking to Lucy. I g
~ Lucy's POV ~"Who were you talking to?" Greeta asked"No one. As you can see, I am here alone" I replied "But I heard you talking to someone," Greeta said"Oh, that, I have a habit of talking to myself when I am alone," I said trying not to rise any suspicion"Try to see if you can get anything from her" Rhea said"Can I have the water please, I am very thirsty?" I asked Greeta"Yes you can," She said as she helped me drink the water. Though it was not enough at least my throat is not as dry as before.As soon as I was done, Greeta was about to leave when I asked her"What do you plan to do to me?" As she turned to me"Why do you ask?" She asked. "Nothing. At least, if you are going to kill let me know so that I can prepare my heart to die by your hands" I said to herHahaha!!! She laughed"Don't worry sweetheart, I not going to kill you yet. You are last on my list" she said"Keep going," Rhea said to me"Then why keep me here?" I asked"Dear, you are just a bait. You see, with y
~ Rhea's POV ~The next day, I woke up with pains all over my pains. I wondered what kind of spell she used on me. Finally, I got myself out of the bed and freshen up. Came downstairs and met my father and mother already seated, I think they were waiting for me but Jaden seems not to be out yet. I managed to walk straight to the dining table and sat with them. Soon after, Jaden made his way to the dining table to join us. The food was served, but after some minutes no one seem to have eaten their food. Jaden on the other hand played with his food. While mum and dad just sat there saying nothing. I managed to eat some of my food but Jaden seems to have lost his appetite because of what happened to Lucy. "Mother, can I ask a question?" I asked as I broke the silence in the room"Yes dear, go ahead and ask" Mother replied"Who is she and what does she mean by she is going to take her revenge on us for what your mother did her mother," I asked"Exactly the question I wanted to ask," Jade
"You need not worry, they will come to us eventually," Greeta said pointing at Lucy who was still unconscious "Now, we have to prepare and wait for them. We lost at their home now we won't let them win us. We can't let them take us unaware." She added"Fool, we have but twelve days left.
