"Hurry we don't have much time," I said as I took the lantern.
The door closed as we entered.***~Erics POV~"Bring her over here" Eric ordered.They brought a lady who was bounded with chains. She was a witch who was captured by Eric. He uses her for his evil deeds. Meanwhile, Erics' packs had already surrounded the house"Break the spell," Eric ordered "I can't do it with this chain on my hand" the witch replied"Very well then, release her but hey don't try anything stupid or I will kill you" Eric warned.Ryan released her from the chains and she stepped forward and began to chant a spell that would bring down the containment spell.Eric caught sight of a lady who immediately closed the window when her eyes met with his'."Faster," Eric commanded"I can't concentrate if you keep talking," The witch said as she continued chanting. Finally, the spell was broken and they rushed into the building hoping to capture Jaden but they couldn't find anyone. They searched the whole house but couldn't them."Where are they?" Eric asked in frustration Ryan rushed into the room where Eric was,"They are not here, I think they escaped," Ryan saidOn hearing this, Eric turned to Ryan looking angry. His eyes turned red. Ryan feared for his life, he doesn't know what Eric was going to do next."Bring me the witch" Eric commandedThey brought her into the house."Can you find them?" Eric askedShe closed her eyes for a while and opened them."No, I can't for now." The witch answered. "This house was built with magic. It will be hard for me to break through. I just need time". She added"How long?" Eric asked"Two days" she replied"Two days!!!" Eric yelled in anger"Or maybe one," the witch said in fear of what Eric might do to her."Do whatever you have to, you have till midnight" Eric warned as he walked out of the room leaving Ryan there with her.***~Rhea's POV~Walking through the passage, we got to a point where there were three pathways."Oh, perfect, now what?" Jaden asked."Could you just keep quiet and let me think" I replied.Then I remembered the direction spell which was used by witches when they get lost."Oh yes, the Direction spell!!!" I let out"The Di... What, you know what, just do your thing" he said"Here, hold this," I gave him the lantern to hold.I chanted the direction spell and immediately two pathways at the sides shut close. The one in front of us was still open. After we entered, I heard a noise, it was as if the other two pathways opened up again. We walked for what seemed to be hours.Finally, we got to a door and made a halt."This is it," I said to him as I opened the door.We found ourselves in a market filled with people and it was day over here and back where we came from, it was night. Turning back, I discovered that the door was no longer there. Everything was so weird, it looked as if we just returned from the underworld."We have to find a place to hide but for now we need a disguise. By the way, you can't go around looking like that," I said as I chuckled "Yeah, keep laughing at me," he said as we made our way into the market.We made a stop at a shop to get some clothes. It was an old lady that was at the shop."Come in, what can I offer you?" The old woman asked nicely." Uhm, we just want to get some clothes and we don't have any money but we promise to pay you back when we get the money if that's okay with you" I pleaded with her.Surprisingly, the old woman agreed."Yes, you can. You don't have to pay me back" the old lady said"I knew this day would come. Your mother used to help me a lot over here but it's so sad she's no more. But anyway, if you need anything, just let me know." She added"Thank you, ma'am, we are grateful," I said to herWe changed our clothes and were about to go out when I realized that we had nowhere to go. "Uhmm, ma'am can I ask for a favor it's kind of like a big one," I said"Go on dear" she replied with a smile on her face."Okay, the thing is that we don't have a place to stay and we were wondering if you could help us out. Just for a night or two" I said with a fake smile. She looked at Andy then turned to me,"The both of you?" She asked"Yes the both of us," I said still wearing a fake smile."That's okay," she said"Gosh, I thought she was going to say no. But still, we have to be careful around her even though she claims to know my mother, " I thought to myself."You have to help me pack up, so we can get going," the old lady saidI looked at Jaden who stood there staring at us without saying a word. "Come on let's help her," I said to him.After we were done packing, she locked up and led us to her house.OMG!!!Jaden and I looked at each other looking very surprised. Her house looked exactly like my house. We entered her house and when I say exactly, I mean every corner of the house looked exactly like mine. To my greatest surprise, I found my mother's pictures hanging all over her house. No way!!! There was a picture of me too in her living room. "Who is she, and why does she have all these pictures of her?" I asked myself before I walked up to Jaden."Something's not right here" I whispered"And what could that be?" He asked"Here look, this lady has my mother's picture all over, and to top it all, she has two of mine. Also, this house is just exactly like the mine" I explained"Yeah, I noticed" he replied"So what are we gonna do now?" He asked"Find out the truth" I replied"Find out the truth" I replied"Just live that to me," I said to Jaden.He nodded in response.I made my way to her kitchen trying to keep calm and play cool. I found her trying to wash some vegetables. "Can I help you?" I asked"Of course, " she repliedI hurried to help her cut the vegetables trying everything possible to keep calm."Is there anything you want to ask me dear?" she askedSurprised at her question, I said "No""Why? Is there anything you want to tell me?" I asked"No, I thought you might want to ask me something. Because your face says so" she answered."Actually, there's something I want to ask you," I said"Okay, go ahead dear" she replied"I saw my mother's picture in your living room and to top it all you have two of mine and I don't know you, I've never met you before so why do you have those pictures. I need the truth" I said "I will tell you at dinner" she replied with a smile on her face.I helped her prepare the meal and we served it at the dining table imm
"I think you are something extraordinary. We just have to find out before it's late." He said addedThe next day father took me to one of his friends who turned out to be a witch for help. She had two daughters. From the looks of both, one could tell who was the oldest. They were both young and beautiful.Getting to her house, he introduced me to the witch. "I know why you are here," the witch said as she looked at me"Wait here, while I talk to your father," she said as I looked at my father and he gave me a reassuring look.Pssst...I turned to see who did that."Come and join us," one of the girls said.As I walked toward them, they both chuckled which made me flush red. Getting to them, they offered me a sit and I sat down. "I'm Irene and this is my sister Karen" the lady who sat on the left side of the table said. I turned to Karen, who has curly hair, and damn those eyes were charming. And for a moment, I got lost in my thought. Something in me yawned for her. And for some reas
She planted a kiss on my lips.My heart skipped. Am I dreaming? Damn her lips were very soft. The feeling of her lips on mine sent goosebumps all over me."Hey, what are you looking at?" She asked which brought me back to reality. Oh, sh*t. I can't believe what just happened. It was all an imagination."Hey, are you just gonna stare the who day looking confused?" She said."Okay, fine. I will leave" she added as she turned to leave"Please wait, " I said"Join me please," I asked"I thought you would never ask," she saidShocked at her question, I watched her try to undress..."Turn around," she saidHuh..."Yes, turn around " she repeatedIn disappointment, I turned back. I wanted to watch her undress. She joined me and it seemed as if my imagination is coming to pass. I turned to look at her, my heart raced faster as I watched her swim around. Her curly hair was wet and laid back. She swam close to me then I said to myself"Yes, this is it. The moment I've been waiting for"I looke
~Rhea's POV~Resting on the bed, I wondered what it was that the old lady was going to tell me. Everything in her house seemed weird. The next morning, I walked straight to the kitchen to get some water only to find the old lady preparing breakfast. "Good morning, ma'am" I greeted."Good Morning dear. Did you sleep well?" She asked"Yes, I did," I said, even though I could sleep because I kept thinking about what happened earlier."So, you were going to tell me something yesterday " I stated"Yes, I was" she gave an answer"Could you help me set the table please?" she asked"Yes, of course " I repliedAfter setting the table, I helped her serve breakfast. I went to get Jaden, only to discover that he was not in his room. I got so frightened that I thought something bad has happened to him knowing that we were on the run.Jaden!!!Jaden!!! I shouted only to find him walking into the living room from outside. "Where the hell were you?" I asked scared"I was just outside" he replied loo
~Eric's~"What do we do now?" Ryan asked"We follow her lead" Eric answered pointing at the witchThe witch started chanting a spell and two pathways closed. She walked through the pathway that was left open. "Let's move " Eric orderedThey all followed the witch and she lead them to a village that looked very weird. Everyone was busy here and there. There were buys and sellers all over. Back home they had no such thing. The witch lead them to a shop where they made a halt."Why did you stop?" Eric asked"Patience Alpha, patience..." She repliedThey stood there for a while and Eric began to get angry. He didn't like it that he has to take others from a witch."We have to move from here now" Eric ordered"Wait for it," the witch said holding her hands up in a way that says for everyone to keep quiet.On hearing this, Eric became very angry and was about to do something bad to her when suddenly..."There she is," the witch said"Who, that old lady?" Eric asked"What those she has to do
~Rhea's POV~Tears rolled down my eyes. I didn't know how to say it but I had to before it will be too late.I was about to tell them the truth when we heard a sound. We looked around but didn't see anything or anyone. "Who's there?" Jaden askedBut no one answered."It might be a bush rat," I saidLucy and Jaden still didn't look convinced about what I said. "I sense something really strong coming our way," Lucy said"I can smell it too. It's near" Jaden added"Guys, don't scare me. I'm already tensed about what I was about to say" I pleadedJaden turned to me and asked"What were you about to say?""Uhmmm, you might not believe it but it's the truth," I said as they looked at me waiting to hear what I have to say."We are siblings," I said as they both looked at me in disbelief"All three of us" I added.They both busted out in laughter which kinda got me a bit angry. I just told them the truth, the actual truth and here they are laughing their guts out."You are joking right?" Ja
Getting closer, I could see his face. He looked nothing like the others who chased after Jaden and me. It was a tall handsome man. He looked really angry. I could see the anger and sadness in his eyes. "Speaking of our father, that's him," Lucy"What?" Jaden and I asked"Yes, he's the man in the picture grandpa showed to me" Lucy repliedThe man stood there for a while and stared at us without saying anything." He was handsome maybe that's why Jaden is so handsome too," I thought to me.The other men who were with him looked aggressive and ready to attack. The man walked a bit closer to us and asked"What are you three doing out here, don't you know is dangerous to be out here by this time?""Where are your parents?" He askedJaden and I looked at Lucy confused"They must be careless to have left you out here by yourself, " he added"Gosh... These humans, with what's happening they still think of camping" he mumbled "By the way, who are your parents, the ones who let you kids hang
It's twenty-one days to the full moon, I don't have much time," I thought to myself as we all went back home.~Greeta's POV~"We've come too far to go back now," Eric said"Alright, let's wait here" Greeta replied "Just wait till I get my hands on her, I will make her pay for everything you did to me aunt. I will make sure she suffers and feels every bit of the pain you caused me" Greeta thought to herself as she stared at Eric and his men."Fools, I will use them to get my revenge," she said to herself~past~Greeta was a little child when she found out she was a witch. She began to use her powers at an early age, unlike Karen and Irene who started using their powers when they got older. Greeta's mother was the only surviving sibling of Karen's mother. They were both not on good terms. They argued a lot that it affected their children. They didn't let them get close to each other. A few years later, Greeta's mother got sick and died. Now Greeta starts to stay with Karen and her fam
"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. 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
