I woke up and every where was very bright. It took a while before the events of last night flooded my head and the first thing I thought was “where was Lucian”. I looked round my room to check if he was on the chair he usually sat but he was not there. I tried paying attention to listen and know if he was in the shower but he was not there also. The curtains had been drawn open and my bed side lamp has been turned off, that only meant he had woken up so he was probably in the parlor or some place else within the house. Last night was magnificent. I had never felt that way before. The image of us kissing brought shock waves to my tummy. He did things to me that I could not explain. I have always scolded myself each time I thought of unholy things about Lucian, asking my self where are my principles yet yesterday I tossed those same principles in the bin and I did not even care. I knew I had wanted him and he apparently did the same.Don’t do anything when I can not control my selfAt

The waitress brought our food in no time. I had pancakes and coffee and Lucian waffles, bacon, eggs and tea instead. When we were done eating I signaled a waitress for our bill and she said the meal was on the house, because Lucian was Mr. Pines Field.“Such a nice privilege do you not agree”I asked him when we had left the café.“I suppose”His reply was short and he did not say a thing after that. As we passed, people who knew him waved and it kind of felt awkward because that meant all these people witnessed us kiss.“Where are we going now?”I heard Lucian ask, waking me up from my thoughts.“Grocery shopping, have you forgotten?”I answered.“And after that?, any personal plans for today?”“Actually, now that you have mentioned it yes. I planned on getting my nails done today. A manicure and pedicure session and maybe get my brows trimmed. I also planned a full spa day”I answered and looked over at him.“Why did you ask any ways?”I asked him. Cause it was sort of weird that h

We walked to her porch and getting to the door I knocked. “Some one is home, I can hear the sounds made by her Tv. She must be inside “He said after a minute of knocking without getting any response.“But she is not responding “Which was bad, she would not leave her TV on but why would she not be responding if she was home.“That could only mean something is indeed wrong”“Then what should we do?”I asked unsure. I was starting to get scared.“We help ourselves in”“Would that not be wrong, breaking in”“Not when the life of some one is in danger”“May be in danger”I corrected him. We could be wrong about this. Maybe she simply forgot to turn off her TV. We were talking about an old woman here.“Maybe we should just call the police if we think anything is wrong. That is the most reasonable thing to do”I suggested“Why call the police when we are here already “Before I could contest he turned the knob and it opened freely. The door was not even locked then he entered inside while

Lucian was right. It was not my fault she was not my fault Mrs. Clara was in that condition. It was an accident and we actually saved her life. Despite knowing this I could not stop wishing I came earlier. We were finally leaving the hospital after much signing of documents. They said visiting hours were long over and we could not see her but we could come back tomorrow. When we got outside it was very dark. I was not expecting it to be this dark because inside the hospital was very bright and it was impossible to see outside the hospital from where we were.Outside was dead silent and apart from the hospital staff moving around there was no one else to be seen.We walked down the street to board a taxi but there was no moving vehicle, I could not even see any head light from an approaching vehicle.“I guess we are walking home”Lucian said.“It is a very long distance, I am too weak I do not think I can”I told him. I have been up all day and the hospital kept me busy too. I have al

After our meal we retreated to our room. It was quiet large. It had a queen sized bed at a corner of the room. The room like the receptionist area was decorated with lots of indoor plants in giant ceramic pots. The room was warm but the air I breathed in was chill. The effects of having so many plants in a room. I liked the feeling. The room was painted with brown paint and laced with gold curtains. It gave it this earthy tone and it looked comfortable. There was a three sitter sofa at the other side of the room and a vanity beside the bed. There was a wardrobe at the far corner of the room, I walked towards it and opened it to check the content of the wardrobe. There was a night gown, black and there was a sleeping garment for a man also hanging in the wardrobe. I felt the night dress, soft satin. I took it off the hanger.“I am going to take a bath before I sleep”I told Lucian who has been laying on the bed with his hands spread out since we got to the room.“Okay”He replied roll

Emma had already gone to take a shower so I went back to the bed to clear my head. The bed was so comfortable.Emma stormed out of the bath room so I quickly got up from the bed and was now in a sitting position.“What is the problem, changed your mind?”I asked her but she Ignored me, not even looking at my direction once. Acted like she could neither see me nor hear me talk to her. She just walked to another door, drew the door open and walked into what ever room that was.I stood up from the bed and walked to the place Emma had previously entered to know what got her like that. I opened the door and looked inside the room. It was the kitchen. She must have mistaken it for the bath room. She had not really gone round to inspect what was behind every door so she obviously thought that that was going to be where the bath room was. But why did she ignore me? Was I even asking myself this, the fact was that I knew what I did, but was that what could have made her ignore me.I sighed and

She was making a great deal of noise and hermovements were causing a lot of discomfort. What was making her to scream even. I grabbed her hands that was around my neck and drew them apart before letting it go then she fell to the bed. I turned to face her and she got up from a lying position and was now knelling on the bed.“What is the problem, I do not know why you are yelling”“There”She said pointing her fingers in a direction. I turned to follow her direction. She seemed to be pointing at the bathroom door.“There is a rat, a really big rat. I saw it and I have been trying to get it out but it is not working. “A Rat?”I asked her despite hearing every thing she just said. So it was a rat that led to all these damages, messes, destruction and noise. I mean look at the room. She broke a lamp all because of a single rat“Yes. I am afraid of those things. They carry diseases.”She said curling up her toes in disgust.I sighed quietly for only me to hear. This was ridiculous. And

Opening the door to our room and discovering Emma was already awake. The curtains were open, the bed was laid but she was not in the room I also did not hear water running from the bathroom so where could she be. I went to the kitchen but she was not there either. Where was she? Did she leave to find me?I stepped out of the kitchen and turned around just to find Emma in the room wearing the dress she wore yesterday. That means she has taken a shower. How long did I spend in Emma’s room?“Good morning”She greeted“Morning”I said“Take your bath, get dressed, so we can go eat. I am hungry”She did not even ask me where I had been.I just nooded and did as she said.We got to the diner after ten. It was full, fuller than last night. The look of the bar was different, the music genre too was different.“What are you having?”Emma asked.“I don’t know”I replied.“What of you, what are you getting?I asked her.“Custard, custard and toast “Ohhkay then, I would have the same”She look

EMMA’S POV The walk to the dining hall was one long one, and my face hurt from too much pretence; although I was still a little bit hurt that my hopes got dashed like that, Tanesha had made it her duty to talk my head off.The lights bounced around the walls, giving the hallway an ethereal feeling. Tanesha looked breathtakingly gorgeous in her white dress, the fabric clinging to her well-defined curves as she sashayed down the stairs.Authority and power were radiating through her as she led me down the narrow steps, a sad tune playing in the dinner. My legs crossed against each other with anxiety as I made my way through the throng of crowds. Tanesha hot on my heels still talking my ears offHalf of me hoped Lucien would be seated already, at least, it would make it easier for me to put a wrap on my emotions.“Now Emma, these people are.... let me say one of a kind,” Tanesha said sternly, her perfect dentition glinting in the dark hallway.“Now, we wouldn’t want to step on their toe

EMMA’S POV I felt myself drowning each time I opened my eyes, a force greater than my human body pummelling against my fragile being. I could still remember the gut-wrenching screams that escaped from my mouth, cutting g and brandishing everything close to it.In this little haze, I could hear Mordecai’s cackles and Vashka’s cry for more doom. I could feel everything and nothing at the same time, and when the little daydream finally passed, I came to loathe everything and everyone around me, including Lucien. Half of me felt like it was his fault, his fault for leaving Mr with Tanesha, his fault that he couldn’t see that Marilyn was flirting her way into his life, I felt a slab of jealousy hit me hard across my chest. Each painful squeeze made me clutch at my chest aggressively.“Good to see you’re back Emma, thought you would never make it” The voice that had been causing me to feel several kinds of emotions tore into my head; her voice felt like glass against my nerves, shatteri

LUCIEN’S POV It’s been six hellish days in this damn place, and six days since Emma had broken through the damned obsidian curse. It had been two days since Emma had refused to see me.I had no idea why she would refuse to see me even though I had gone knocking on her door countless times, pleading and screaming to at least see her.But then she was just so stubborn, even Maximo, Marilyn, and Tanesha were in on it, always making sure I respected her decision.I felt like a fucking piece of shit; I spent hours under the sun training vehemently, learning new curses and spells that chewed out my insides, twisting and turning at my insides.Learning curses was not for the weak, and if I needed to fight with the obsidian order head-on, I needed to have a few counter curses up my sleeves. “You seem a bit distracted, Lucien. What’s wrong?” Tanesha called out breathlessly, her voice echoing through the vast space of lands as she trudged slowly towa

BRIAN’S POV The flight to pines field was one long exhausting trip, and Verity just didn’t know when exactly to shut The hell up. She was always rambling word after word that didn’t make perfect sense to my ears.If she wasn’t blabbering, she was singing songs that didn’t have any rhythm in her high-pitched voice, or worse, she was chewing loudly. One thing with half-blooded vermin was that they were always too happy, and they were the most dangerous, too dangerous. “Shut the hell up, verity,” Lilith sneered, her icy glare shutting Verity up immediately, making her recoil in her chair, a sheepish grin blooming across her face as she stared out the window.I was excited about this just for one main reason: I got to see Emma, and the thought of that seemed to elevate my mood to a great extent; I could not wait to take in a healthy dose of her lavender mist fragrance. “Are all plans set in motion with the hordes?” Lilith asked me carefully, her eyes fl

LUCIEN’S POV I woke up two days later, I could still feel the heaviness of my head resting heavily on my shoulders, the dark room heightening my fear and anger as I laid wide awake . The candle flickering aggressively in their stands as I peered dangerously into the fire. The house itself looked to be asleep and there was no way I could trust Tanesha after that Incident. I found her repulsing, even though she hadn’t exactly done anything for me to despise her this much, I wondered how she claimed to know too little.Her words confused the hell out of me.“Good to see that you are awake” Tanesha’s solemn voice called from beside me as she made her way to the foot of the bed, her night gown sweeping across the wooden floorboards that creaked silently at her movements.“I get it, I get that you wouldn’t want to speak to me after what happened the other day in the hallway, but then certain things just has to stay the way it is” she said with a sigh, a sudden sadness coating her eyes as

CHAPTER 81LUCIEN’S POV It was hard to watch Emma this way, what this obsidian curse was, I needed it to be fixed like yesterday. I could not even find a cure to the curse in any spell book or curse book, more like it didn’t even exist.“You guys are here already?” Tanesha called out cheerily, as her eyes squinted in glee. I suddenly felt Emma go rigid beside me, her breathing strained as she walked stoically to where Tanesha stood. “Oh hi Emma dear” She called out to Emma, a genuine smile spreading across her face as she took Emma in, the latter just muttered incoherent words in reply.“oh hi Tanesha” I greeted, ignoring the side look Emma threw my way, honestly I didn’t know what exactly she didn’t like about Tanesha. “Good to see you Lucien, well considering the fact that we met hours ago, and now we arIsn’t exactly meeting for all the right reasons,” she joked something in her eyes pulling me in towards her. Tanesha Tinsley was one dangerous woman. “Why don’t you give

EMMA’S POV “Lucien what the hell just happened” I yelled when we were in the safety of my house, the upturned tables and chair glaring as we stood with our mouths wide open.“I don’t know Emma, I think we should call the cops” Lucien said fearfully, his eyes searching the upturned room“Really, you want me to draw the cops into this, is this place even safe anymore?” I asked tiredly, all The excitement that had seeped into my bones earlier this morning just defeated like one big bubble “I wonder who could have done this?” Lucien muttered as he walked toward the drawer “ Where are you going Lucien, what are you even doing” I yelled in frustration, the look in his eyes turning cold as he answered “To check if the inkwell and the briefcase are safe, of course,” He whispered, the veins in his head popping angrily as he carefully made his way to the chest where the documents were kept. “What do you mean safe,

EMMA’S POV Aargh ! Where was Lucien when I needed him the most, my hands were aching with the goods I was holding, the colourful tents elevating my mood by a thousand folds.“Oh hey watch out” A familiar voice called out, his heady perfume wrapping round my throat with it’s familiarity.“Oh Emma it is you” Brian called out happily, his broad shoulders bunching up as he pulled me into his Embrace, his woody perfume tickling my nostrils as I smiled widely from ear to ear.“ It is so nice to see you Brian” I cried out cheerily, his glasses still sitting pretty on his face. He reminded me so much of Lucien. “Why don’t we you know take a seat here and catch up on good old times” He pestered, his hands grabbing the small of my back as he used his other hand to wrestle the bags from me.“It’s been a while, Emma,” Brian finally spoke when we were well seated on makeshift chairs under the sloshy tent, bubbles and children flying around the sky as they ran

LILITH’S POV “What the hell just happened?” Andrea seethe when we were in the car, the confused look sitting prettily on her face amusing. But she was right though, what the hell just happened with Tyrone?, i wondered what it was about Teyana that spooked, and Teyana she just sat mute staring outside the window. A blank look masking her face as she just sat rigid, it was difficult to tell if he was breathing or not.“The Mayor, we should be careful” Teyana finally muttered after a while, a certain emotion pooling in her ete as she stared at us.“Why in the world was his house covered with counter curses and protection spells?” Brian asked no one In particular his eyebrow scrunched up in frustration as he tugged at the buttons of his suit. The glasses on the bridge of his not tilting sideways “His wife Tanesha, she looks familiar and if she is what or rather whom I think she is, then so help us god” Teyana muttered, a certain glow emanating through
