Megan's POV
I opened my eyes slowly and stared at my surroundings to be sure I was at the right place. Unlike what I expected, everywhere looked good and serene. The place was as silent as a graveyard. "Am I really at the right place?" I muttered under my breath.Unexpectedly, a bright light shone from my right hand side. I lifted my hand to shield my eyes from the bright light. It was really eye blinding.
It suddenly reduced its brightness and I was finally able to see clearly without shielding my face. I lowered my hand and stared at where the light came from.I noticed no one was there.
"What was that?" I asked no one but myself.I began to walk to nowhere in particular until a force drew me back. I screamed out in shock.
After few seconds that seemed like eternity, the motion stopped. "Geez!" I sighed as I wiped off the beads of sweat that had formed on my face. "Wh58Observer’s POVDoctor Robert and the fear stricken nurse looked on at Melanie’s convulsing body that continued to jerk uncontrollably.“What do we do?” the nurse asked.Robert was confused and didn’t know exactly what to do. He couldn’t show his lack of ideas in front of the young inexperienced nurse. It wouldn’t speak well of him if he did that. All he could do was to watch.Right before the heart monitor could reach zero, everything stood still. Time was stopped and Marianna walked in. She glanced briefly at the two medical practitioners and headed toward hospital bed.The girl had stopped convulsing immediately Marianna stepped in.Marianna held out her hand towards Melanie and just as if a miracle had been performed, Melanie’s eyes forced. A light gasp scaped through her mouth.She looked round the room for a minute before her eyes got fixed on the held out hands.
Steve’s POVI fluttered my eyes open when I felt something warm on my head. My eyes darted slowly from the ceiling to the person I saw in front of me.“You’re awake?” Daisy appeared in front of me.“Yeah,” I said, stretching out my hand to lift up the warm napkin that was on my forehead.“Let me help you up,” she offered. She collected the napkin, moved closer to me to help me up.I accepted the offer and groaned in the process of sitting up. My head ached.“You’re down with fever.” She told me as she placed a pillow behind my back.“My head throbs!” I winced.“But do you at least feel better now?”“Yeah,” I nodded.“Back to what you were saying before I passed out,” I started. “What do I do?”“I need to hand this ring over to you.” She said to me, showing off the ring
Daisy's POVI stood still at the doorstep when I heard my name. I was sure it was mom Megan. She was probably chatting with Steve in the sitting room.“And she gave me a...” Steve trailed off.Despite the fact that I was in the house, I could still see what they were doing. I saw Steve raise his hand to show mom the supposed ring I gave to him.But he looked surprised and shocked to see no ring on his finger.A frown found its way to my face. I was pissed off and extremely annoyed about the fact that he couldn't even keep the ring for twenty four hours.“What did she give to you?” mom Megan asked, sitting up from the couch when she noticed the perplexed look on Steve's face. “A ring and it’s gone.” he shrilled, palming his face.I entered the sitting room unnoticed. I sighed at the pent-up anger I could see Steve empty on himself."Where's the
Daisy's POV"Ah!" Jessica suddenly screamed."Jessie!" Steve called with an urgent tone. He rushed over to her side."What's wrong, Jessie?" He asked and Jessica pointed at something."That!"We all moved over to have a look at what she saw that made her look so scared."Oh my God!" Vivian screeched. My hand went straight to my mouth to prevent the gasp.I glanced at mom and noticed tears pooled in her eyes.She must feel really sad seeing her favorite maid in that position 'cause right there, on the cold ground was Juliet's dead body. My eyes watered at the sight.I've grown to like her these past months I've lived with the Spears.I closer to the dead body.I almost shivered when I touched her body. It has gone extremely cold."Kids," I heard mom's voice. I looked up to see her address Vivian, Steve and Jessica."You guys should go up to your rooms." She said to
Megan's POVI sat down on a nearby couch as I waited for Daisy. She's been out of the house for few minutes now and she's still not back. She didn't even tell me where she was headed.I stood to my feet after a few more minutes. I went up the stairs to see what the kid were up to.I checked on Jessie and Vivian. They seemed to have fallen asleep from exhaustion. I quietly closed the door behind me as I exited the girls' rooms. I head towards Steve's room. After a slight knock, I went in but Steve wasn't in.I left the room and tried to call him as I moved around the hallway. Luckily, I found him standing near the extreme end of the hallway, that provided a space for a proper sightseeing of the town at night.The view from up here was always awesome. That part of the house was shielded with glass. It looked transparent but you could only see things from inside.No one can see what's going on up here from outside. That was somet
Megan's POV"What took you so long?" Morgana asked as soon as she saw us."I'm sorry."I watched as her eyes focused on Steve. I cleared my throat to gain her attention."He's with me." I announced. "I can't leave him back there." I shrugged when Morgana gave me a look."I thought he was the one Mila got the ring for?" She said, more like a question."Yeah. It's a long story." I sighed. "Morgana, don't you think we're wasting our time arguing about this?""And you think we're arguing about something unimportant?" She asked as she crossed her hands across her chest.I rubbed my forehead with my thumb and the index finger. I glanced briefly at Steve, who still looked fascinated about the world we were in. I exhaled slowly and turned to Morgana."He lost it." I admitted.Morgana scoffed and began to pace up and down the room."That says it all." She said.
Megan's POV"Guess what?" He urged.As if I was hypnotized, I answered him."What?""I killed your husband!"My countenance dropped!My mouth went agape as I stared at him dumbfounded. Is this really true? Did he really kill Mike? I can't believe this."It's believable enough, my dear." He said. "Come to think of it," he began, walking around me in circles. My eyes got clouded with tears."There was a question your smart daughter loved to ask herself back then, in her free time." He paused and glanced at me, to probably observe if his words had an effect of me."And the question was how come her father died from an irrelevant illness despite the level of technology in this world." He threw his hands into the space as though he was demonstrating the words of his mouth."You never thought about that, you know. You were so caught up in the fact that you lost your love and then dr
Megan's POVI coughed slightly from the smoke that filled the atmosphere. Everywhere was clouded with smoke and I wondered how much damage Sage has caused to the whole city.I trod along the road carefully, squinting my eyes to see if there was any other person around. Following Sage landed us here and I haven't seen him. The smoke wasn't helping as well. I ensured I held on to Steve carefully.As we continued to move forward, the atmosphere suddenly became clearer. I almost sighed in relief but was caught off guard when an arrow flew my way. Reflexively, I dodged the arrow.My eyes darted towards the direction it came from. I wasn't surprised to see Sage but what surprised me was the army that stood in lines right behind him."This is going to be bloody." I heard Steve mutter behind me."We'll take care of this. Don't be scared." I told him, without turning to look at him. My eyes was fixed on Sage and his army.&nb
EPILOGUE<<MELANIE>>I breathed a heavy sigh of relief as I handed over the mic to Kate, who hurriedly passed me a bottle of water.“Thank you,” I muttered. I opened the bottle and drank from it.“You are all sweaty!” Kate frowned. “But you were definitely great back there.” She squeaked happily. I shook my head negatively with a smile on my face. Dramatic Kate!“She’s definitely not as open to me as she is to you.” I turned when I heard that voice.“Suzy!” I squealed as I ran to her. Her arms were wide open already, calling me for an embrace.“Girl, you were great out there on that stage.” She kissed my cheeks. “I almost couldn’t recognize you.” I laughed at her flattering. “All thanks to you and the staff.” She smiled. “And where’s John?” I asked as I looked behind her to see if he was with her.“He didn’t…” Suzy tried to answer.“Over here, sweetheart.” I saw John waved at me. “Hey,” I moved away from Suzy to meet
I fell on my knees as I struggled to breathe. I truly felt life getting drained out of me. I couldn’t breathe and I could see my hands getting dark. It all felt as though something was eating me up.I glanced at Melanie and she had that proud look on her face that showed how pleased she was to have deceived me. I was a complete fool to think she had regained her senses.The dark tissue was spreading on and on from my palms to my arms. Melanie wasn’t herself anymore and that was a sure fact. But regardless of any other thing, this might be the last time I see my best friend, the Melanie I love and not the one in front of me.With this in mind, despite the evil glare she had on her face and my lack of strength, I summoned every last bit of the strength in me. I held her hands in mine. They felt extremely hot.She arched her brows at me.“I can see you’re a strong one.” She smirked. “You…” I cut her off.“I love you.”She instantly froze.For a moment,
72Melanie’s POV“Stab yourself.”She smirked.“Wh- what?” I stuttered in disbelief.“That’s the only way.” She shrugged. “You have to spill blood.”I scoffed.“Are you kidding me right now?”“No,” she smiled. “Are you ready to cross that boundary?”“Why in the world would she need to stab herself?” Steve frowned.“That’s the only thing that can stop this. You need no further explanation. Are you willing to do it to save your people?” she stared intently at me. “Both the humans and the supernatural.”I sighed as I ran my fingers through my hair. I definitely didn’t expect this. To save everyone completely, I’d make the sacrifice.I heard loud screams which made me turn abruptly. I watched wide-eyed as buildings came crashing down. People began to run out of their houses.However, before they could go far, most of them got hit by flying bricks. I glanced at the source of the turmoil.The dragon was con
Melanie’s POVI pulled up the knife and steadied myself to stand to my feet. Releasing a shaky breath, I began to walk over to the rest of the family as I kept the knife safe in my pocket.Sage was gone. Everyone has been set free from his evil clutches and his destructive ambitions.Walking absentmindedly, I almost lost my balance when I stumbled on something. I averted my gaze from the space and glanced at what made me stumbled. I realized it was Janet’s lifeless body.The tears I never knew I had pent-up flooded my face as I stared at the lifeless body of the girl I called my friend. I sobbed uncontrollably as I fell to her side. Lifting up her cold hands, I pulled her into an embrace.She might have betrayed me but she was once my friend. And she will ever be!“I’m sorry,” I whispered. My body trembled slightly as the feelings I bottled up all burst out with my tears.No matter wha
Melanie's POV"Don't you dare!" I growled when I saw Clara's high hand. In her hand was the supposed sacred knife - that, I recognized.Clara turned to me with surprise evident on her face. But sad for her, 'cause as soon as she turned, she was struck by an electrifying ray that emitted from my hands. She was sent flying across the room.She let out a loud scream when her back came in contact with the furnitures. Crashing sounds filled the atmosphere.I moved closer to her with the unending ray and she got pinned to the tiled floor. I didn't want her to stand up.When I was sure she was trapped and unable to move, I hurriedly traipsed over to Daisy. I pulled her up from the floor and shook her without much force."Daisy?"Her eyes opened slightly before they went close.Her body went cold immediately. I instantly became furious.Clara should pay for this. I don't care if I don't get to kno
Megan's POV"Oh my God! Melanie?" I called in surprise. My eyes watered as they got themselves fixed on my dear daughter.I was so excited to see her here. Even though I didn't know when she got discharged and how she got here, I was still very much glad she was right here in front of my eyes.But before we could go about the mother daughter reunion, Sage spoke up."Well... well... well," he began, saying those words in a music like format. "Look who we have here. I didn't think you'd be up after all we got them to do to you." He stated.No wonder! I kind of knew Sage was the mastermind of all that happened with Melanie. But it was hard to ascertain that fact since he got his job done without any trace.Melanie walked away from me as I teleported over to the rest of my team. The look on Steve's face showed he couldn't be more glad."Nice to finally meet you again," Melanie greeted Sage scornfully. She folded her
Megan's POV"It's a recall spell if you don't know." I heard Morgana's voice.Right there and then, she also came into the picture, alongside Morgan and the army. I smiled.This turned out to be a perfect plan after all."Now, it's a thousand against one." Morgan said with a slight smile.Sage moved back a bit, creating enough space between us all."How come I never knew?" He wondered."That's cause it wasn't an immediate thing. The spell was meant to take time before it takes its effect ... to avoid suspicion." Morgana explained with a sad smile on her face.I wondered why she looked sad despite the smile. Her smile didn't reach her eyes."Who did this?" Sage asked with squinted eyes. "Cause I'm sure this isn't a thing back at the kingdom. This is related to black magic." He frowned."Yeah, it isn't a thing in our world since it's a spell." Morgana shrugged. "But someone went extra miles to pr
Megan's POVI stood at the centre of the city with Steve, Sage and his captives. Sage's eyes never left mine while he waited patiently for me to make my decision.Something kept telling me not to surrender. It kept trying to make me see enough reasons, as to why I needed not go surrender.One reason that kept on hammering was the fact that Sage could actually make me surrender and still not release his captives.One of the many reasons that left me strong-headed was how Sage was my culprit, who I needed to bring to book. If I surrender to him without fighting back, all our efforts from the onset would be a total waste of time and manpower."You're taking much time to decide, Megan." He complained.One thing about him that I've noticed is he always call my name, at any slight opportunity he gets.I ignored him and turned to Steve."What does she mean to you?" I questioned. He doesn't need any
