"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
CHAPTER 37 Adrian dialed his mother's number again but got no reply he became overly anxious thinking something bad had happened to her. "I'm so sorry Audrey I need to go home." Adrian said"It's okay." She said holding his hands. "I'll drop you off back at home." Adrian suggested"There's no need for that, your mom needs you. I'll take a taxi back." Audrey said*ring* ring* Audrey's phone buzzed"Excuse me." Audrey said answering the call"Greta." "Hey girl." "Hi, I've missed you what have you been up to?" Audrey asked "Nothing that I can't handle. Which is why I'm close to your house." Greta said "Wait you're coming to see me?" Audrey asked "Yes, and no. I'm coming to pick you up we're going out together." "Okay, don't head to my house I'll text you an address. I'm not at home anyway." Audrey said"Okay." Replied Greta.Audrey texted her current location to Greta. "I'll see you tomorrow if you're free." She said to Adrian"I can't just leave you here." Adrian said"Your mo
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
In a cave far away was a beautiful woman in her early thirties who had magical powers. "I see you're tough Audrey let's see how far that power of yours can take you. I'll make sure to take everything from you and finally end your life mark my words." She said to no one in particular."My lady." "Don't you dare interrupt me." 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,
The day of the tournament was here students of blue vale and Dream high were gathered in the battle arena. "Welcome everyone today we have the pleasure of witnessing one of the most famous school in the world show their talents. Please sit back and enjoy." Fiona said leaving the stage. The students were given numbers. "I guess boys and girls are considered equal in this school." Adrian said"Yeah come to think you'll be facing a girl for the first time, don't let your guard down." Audrey said "But I want to win, regardless the gender." "I'm not saying you shouldn't." Audrey said"Come the show is about to begin." Audrey saidStudents from Blue vale and Dream high kept going on at each other the fights and rounds were so severe that no one wants to give up. Everyone wants to come out victorious.It was Audrey's turn to fight and her opponent was a boy with dark long hair. He winked at Audrey almost making her puke. Audrey took a fighting stance even if she had no intentions of ki
Audrey followed Adrian to the hall and sat down beside Greta and Adrian sat beside her. Greta smiled at Audrey and she smiled back. Nolan walked towards the podium. "Thank you all for coming students. This past few months, weeks has been difficult for us all. Some of us lost friends, family. It hasn't been easy, I know this shouldn't be the time but I also believe it's the best time to do this." Nolan said and the students began murmuring. "Our school was invited by a magic school in Paris..." "Wait? Paris? Paris France?" A student asked"Yes. And we were invited to join their annual competition, we're going there to prove which school has groomed the most powerful students this past year. And I have faith in you all that you'll win and make our school proud." "We've all been through a lot so this might be the time to vent some of our anger doing what we love or what we believe is a part of us. Names would be placed on the notice board those are the candidates for the tournament
Two nights back Audrey was sleeping when her mind was invaded again. "What do you want grandpa?" Audrey asked"No hello? I was hoping you'd be sweet." "Sweet? When you were making a weapon to kill me you expect me to be sweet?" Audrey asked infuriated. "I see you're trying to manipulate her again, aren't you father?" Damon asked "Ah, Damon. I see your powers are slowly returning." Lucian said since Damon was able to come into Audrey's mind without his approval. "Stay away from my daughter." Damon said"It's too late, once my weapon is ready I'm coming to kill her." Lucian said to Damon."I see, which would be a day or two from now." Audrey said "Right." Lucian nodded "You want to settle this? Then let's finish this once and for all, you see this place?" Audrey said showing him a forest a bit farther from the city."This is where we'll end this." Audrey said"I'll grant your request since this is where you want to die. It might be full of trees but... It's nice." Lucian said "G
Audrey returned back home with Adrian. "For a moment there I thought I was dreaming." "You weren't." Audrey said with a smile and Damon hugged her. "Did my father know you were leaving?" Damon asked "He didn't if he did I guess I would be taking your place in the tomb." Audrey said making Damon chuckle. "How did mum feel after I left?" Audrey asked "She was devastated, she thought she lost you again." "I'm sorry I made you both worry, but I had no choice." Audrey said "I didn't want to risk grandpa finding out about what I really had in mind. I got a surprise for you." Audrey said"What?" Damon asked "Come with me to my room." Audrey said taking Damon to her room. "I sense powerful magic here." "Indeed, while grandpa was busy making a new weapon to kill me I was busy looking for a weapon that could kill a powerful demon." Audrey said "Wait you found the ancient weapon? I always thought it was a myth." Damon asked surprised."Good thing grandpa kept me in grandma's room tu
Audrey's door was busted open by two guards and Lucian walked in as well. "Audrey sweetheart are you okay?" Lucian asked "Yes, I'm fine why... Why did you burst into my room like that?" Audrey asked "The guards reported to me that it seems there's an intruder in your chambers I got worried." "Grandpa, the only intruders here right now is you and your guards." Audrey said with a smile."Are you sure?" Lucian asked with a suspicious look. "Yes grandpa, I was reading a book." Audrey said"Okay, get some rest." Lucian said leaving with his guards. Audrey felt suspicious of Lucian so she followed him after casting an invisibility spell it was a good thing her magic still worked. She didn't follow behind him directly, he is a high demon and he would surely know someone was tailing him so she followed at a distance. Lucian went into a place where swords and weapons were made. "How are the preparations coming along?" Lucian asked his subordinate."I'm sorry sire it's not ready." Neil
Audrey arrived at the alternate dimension she was surprised to actually get a full tour of the city. Her grandfather showed her around and it was so beautiful. Almost like the human world but their technology was kind of different."And well here I'm not so sure you'll like it here." Lucian said "Wait, it's a club isn't it?" Audrey asked "Something like that, but it's more complicated. Let's just check some place else." Lucian said Audrey was finally taken to the palace. She was given a little tour and Lucian promised to give her the rest of the tour the following day. "And lastly this is your room." Lucian said opening the door to a very beautiful room."Wow." Audrey said admiring the room. "It belongs to your grandmother for years I haven't had the courage to come here. But I think you should be comfortable here." Lucian said"Thanks grandpa." "No problem, sleep tight." Lucian said and Audrey smiled at him. Audrey's mind drifted back home to Adrian, she lied to him she didn't
That evening Damon felt compelled to take a short nap that's when he found his subconscious self staring at Lucian his father. "What do you want?" "You know you're at my mercy right now right?" Lucian asked with a smirk."In your dreams, what are you even talking about?" Damon asked"Your daughter, I'm taking her to our world. She has agreed to come with me." Lucian said "Aurora would never do that." Damon defended"But you're in it for a surprise, she agreed to come back with me and she's even leaving now after this discussion I'm taking her back.""You bastard what did you say to her?" Damon asked"What she needed to hear." Lucian said with a sly smile. "I'll see you soon I guess." "What do you plan on really doing to her?" Damon asked "You of all people should know what I plan on doing, I'm going to study her then I'll end her." Lucian said "You bastard." Damon yelled angrily."How's that for a manipulation. I was actually surprised she was so gullible." Lucian said "I will
Audrey opened the door to Lucia's room. "Audrey, how long have you been there?" "Long enough, and it's a good thing you called me Audrey. Mum what was that all about? Is it true? Did you both not really want a child?" Audrey asked. "Aurora it's not what you think?" Damon said"Then enlighten me father, please enlighten me cause I'm lost." Audrey said"And what was all that destiny stuff all about huh?" Audrey asked. "Audrey I'm sorry... I'm sorry I had to put you through this... There's still one truth I didn't tell you." Lucia said "Great." Audrey scoffed. "Please sit let's discuss this." Lucia said"I think I'll stand." Audrey retorted "Audrey, please, sit." Lucia pleaded "Fine, what is it?" Audrey asked "Actually, facing you like this isn't what I had in mind and I'm sorry." Lucia said"This is the third time your apologizing get on with it mum." Audrey said"Your father and I we... We fell in love with each other.""Mum... No staling just get to the point. I have other th
"What did he do to you?" Audrey asked"He... He wanted to kill me." Lucian answered"Enough lies father." Damon said angrily"Damon I'm sorry, please just... Just come back home both of you. You don't belong in the human world." Lucian said "That's non of your business." Damon said "Okay, both of stay the hell out of my mind I want to rest peacefully." Audrey said "Aurora..." Lucian called "Please don't call me that... I'm still finding it hard to believe I'm related to demons so please don't make this any harder than it already is." Audrey said"If you don't want me calling you Aurora then what do I call you?" Lucian asked"Call me Audrey." "Audrey." Lucian repeated"Please I don't want to be here anymore just let me go." Audrey said "Okay, I just want to tell you that my intentions are pure Audrey." Lucian said"That's for me to decide." Audrey said coming back to consciousness."Audrey, are you okay? You were breathing heavily and even sweating." Adrian asked "I'm fine, I gu
