"Absolutely not." Maxine said "Why?" Josephine asked "Because you're my twin sister and he asked me to go on a date with him." Maxine said "I'm only asking you to bring me along." Josephine said"Find yourself a boyfriend." Maxine said applying the last makeup she wanted on her face. "Since when do you apply make-up?" Josephine asked"Since now. See you later." Maxine said "Wait! Did you ask mom and dad's permission?" Josephine asked "I don't need to." She said with a sly smile. Maxine walked down the stairs when she saw her dad reading a newspaper. "Where are you going dressed like that?" Nolan asked his eyes still buried in the paper. "I... I'm going out to meet a friend." She answered"Who is this friend?" Nolan asked, Maxine looked more stunning than she usually appears she was someone who didn't pay too much attention to her appearance which made Nolan curious. "I meet Kyle yesterday at the restaurant so, he asked me to go out with him today." Maxine said "You didn't m

Adrian walked into his room angry and dejected. His mother fooled him into coming home just for his little sister. He wasn't ready to face her just yet. They weren't always like this, they used to be best of friends. Adrian had once dotted on his little sister with every fiber in his bones. He loved her and he wouldn't let anyone lay a finger on his little sister. But things changed when his father died he was lost in grief. That was when his sister admitted something she did and since then he was cold to her. To him it was all her fault their father died. A year and a half ago in the Maximilian's villa Adrian was having fun with his mom and sister when his father's bodyguard walked in bruised and injured. "What happened to you Milton?" Hailey asked surprised"I'm so sorry ma'am I failed." Milton said"What are you talking about? Where's my husband? Where is he? And why are you here alone?" Hailey asked in one go. "I'm so sorry to report this madam but Mr Maximilian is dead." Mil
Audrey was still at Greta's home. She was still trying to figure things out. "Hey, um... do you know how this code works?" Audrey asked"You mean the coordination?" Greta asked"Yeah, how to read it." "Hmm, I'm not sure that's something my parents didn't really teach me but... There's this book that dad took away from the library." Greta said "What book?" Audrey asked "It's a book which explains or translates this code." Greta said "How do we get it?" Audrey asked "It's locked in a secret vault, and only someone who's magic is strong can actually open it or if my dad let's you in." Greta said "I can get us in." Audrey said "But Audrey... I mean really powerful magic." Greta said "I might not be the queen of witches but I'm a powerful witch, I'll try it." Audrey said"If we fail we'll get caught." Greta reminded "Caught?" "Yes, there's a trigger around the book. Also there's another secret in that vault which I want to know." Greta said"I guess there's something we both wan
Nolan was surprised about Audrey's behaviour the way she rushed out of the house it was like she's seen a ghost. *ring* ring* An anonymous number called."Yes." Nolan answered he was used to these weird calls"The queen has scheduled a meeting." A voice said from the other side of the phone said without any formalities. "Right now?" Nolan asked "Yes, she want you here tomorrow." "Okay I'll be there." Nolan answered disconnecting the call.Maxine walked into the house. Nolan frowned seeing his daughter coming in so late. "Where have you been?" Nolan asked "I told you, I went out with Kyle." Maxine answered "You never told me you'd stay out this long." "Sorry dad..." Maxine apologized she just lost track of time that was all. "Kyle? So that's the guy you've been hanging out with?" Eleanor said walking towards the duo"Mom... I..." "You what? You want to turn into a rebel? You skipped training today all for what? Going out on date with some boy?" Eleanor asked "Mom, it's not
Adrian rushed down the stairs as he heard Audrey's scream. He heard his name and he did answer, but it seems Audrey didn't hear him so she called again. He saw her lying on the floor unconscious. "Audrey!" Adrian yelled rushing towards her"Audrey, are you okay?" He asked holding her hands and trying to bring her back to consciousness. "Audrey please wake up." He said tapping her lightly"Wake up, please what happened to you?" Adrian asked anxious. "Adrian." Audrey called out weakly. "Hey, it's me, I'm here." Adrian said hugging her ."Audrey, what happened to you?" He asked"I... There's this... This creature..." Audrey stuttered"A creature? What about it? What did you see?" Adrian asked"I don't know it's all hazy in my mind now." Audrey said much calm."We need to get you home." Adrian said"No, I'm fine. I'll talk to my dad about it tomorrow, it's already late." Audrey said getting up her feet. "Come on let's go up stairs." Adrian said supporting her "Wait my pizza." Audrey
Audrey dialed Nolan's number again just like Maxine had told her to. "His not answering." Audrey said"Let me try." Maxine said dialing Nolan's number. Audrey decided to text him hoping he would reply. "Her Majesty is ready to meet you now." Wen said to Nolan. "Nolan!" Lucia called out with a smile. "Queen Esmeralda it's good to see you." Nolan said "How many times do I have to tell you Nolan, call me Lucia." Lucia said with a smile she wasn't really offended that Nolan called her Esmeralda. "I prefer calling you Esmeralda besides that's what your mom calls you." Nolan said "And only friends from the past calls me that, not with standing we have more pressing issues at hand." Esmeralda said "What is it?" Nolan asked"Audrey." Lucia said "What about her?" Nolan asked "Have you noticed anything off about her? A change in behavior or something?" Lucia asked "Other than the fact that she's still a bit distant to people, I don't think anything's change. In fact she's a lot happi

Sybil said "Sorry my lady, it's just..." Trey stammered "Out with it." Sybil yelled "The queen is investigating the source of the monsters." Trey said "Does she know anything about it?" Sybil asked "I'm not sure my lady but..." Trey hesitated "If you keep stammering, I swear I will gut your throat and feed your lifeless body to my dogs." Sybil threatened"Sorry my lady, but the queen had called an emergency meeting." Trey said "What?" Sybil yelled "It's true here's the letter, it's written in that crazy language or code like you call it. And I recognize it because anytime she's sends you this note it means she wants to meet." Trey explained"That bitch,
