"What did she say?" Anu asked the moment I returned back in the room.

"She doesn't want us to ruin dad's birthday which is tomorrow."I said.

"It's alright. Let's zip up for today and tomorrow."he promised.

The night went so well and dad's day reached. Anu and I had planned a surprise for him.

***

Anu was to turn to a lion and pretend as if he wants to attack me. I was to scream for help. There my dad would come rushing to me. But instead of going to him, I would run downstairs where the celebrations were to be held. All this was to be done in the dark.

And after that, we would switch on the lights and celebrate his birthday in an amazing way.

We were demons that's why we liked doing great things in the dark but Mr Smith was a human so he had human friends who would wish to celebrate him on his birthday during the day. That for, the party had to favor both sides.

Everything went so smoothly and perfectly till when it was time to unwrap the gifts.

    After Anu had read his mind, he manipulated him and inserted new thoughts which were 'to forgive my mom and just forget about it' and it worked.Happiness found its way back to our house once again so Anu and I had to go back to our house where mother in-law and Miss Cucu waited impatiently for Anu. They thought he would come alone since they well knew I had lost my memory and everything about us.They warmly welcomed Anu back home with their faces covered in smiles but those smiles of theirs didn't last for a long time. Their shoulders fell down when they saw me stepping in the castle's gate."Shocked! What happened? It seems like you didn't expect me."I teased but they both kept quiet."There's no point in talking to these people. Let's go inside dear."Anu reached my hand and led the way to the castle."Everything is still the same except our bedroom. Why did you change the painting?"I asked."It's nothing, don't mind about it."he said."No dear. You have to tell me, please."I insi

    "Everything is wrong! What do you mean?"Anu asked."My blood. Your mother finally got what she always wanted from me."I said while sweating as I imagined how cruel Anusha would be that he's now back to life."Your blood? How did she get it?"he asked confused."I don't know but it's the reason why she's so happy this morning."I pointed."That means my father is back. Wonderful, let's go and meet him."he said, looking so happy too. At a moment, his father's return was all he could think about. It's like he didn't care about me anymore. But of course he had a reason to be happy, after all Anusha was his father."Anu."his father called the moment we stepped in his room."Father."Anu called too. They both stared at each other before enveloped themselves in a tight hug that lasted like forever."You are a grown man now."he said as he scanned him with his eyes."So this is your wife, my daughter-in-law?" He asked pointing at me."Yes Dad, she's Artie. My darling wife."he replied, simply."Sh

    "So you won't believe me, right? It's okay then. I won't add any more word but at least think about it."I said and left him in the room.Reaching outside, I saw an old man trying to jump into the swimming pool. "No! Please don't into that pool."I screamed."Who are you talking to?" Anu asked, he had followed me."Look there."I pointed to the old man standing at the banks of the swimming pool."Am not seeing anyone there."Anu said looking confused."Then your eyes must be having a problem."I taunted him."Let's go inside."Anu said politely."I won't go with you. I have to first take this old man away from the pool. Who knows what he might do next. I have managed to stop him from jumping into that pool but I don't think he has totally changed his mind."I said."What are you talking about. I don't understand anything."Anu gazed at me with questioning looks."You won't be able to see anything unless you have your eyes checked up."I taunted again before pushing him out of my way and heade

    Elsewhere, Anu looked for me but couldn't find me. He searched all the corners of the pool but I was nowhere to be found. "Where did she go to?"he asked himself.As he was getting out of the pool, his eyes fell on something that looked like a twig. His heart told him to pick it up and so he did."Am sorry, I couldn't find them."Anu said going on his knees as he cried."What do you mean by that. Didn't you find her in there?"Mr Smith asked."Yes father. I searched everywhere but couldn't see her.""How's this possible? But you told us you saw her jump into the pool, didn't you?" "Yes father. I saw her with my two eyes but what I don't understand is how she vanished from the pool."he said, looking thoughtful."This means one thing, someone might have called her through this pool."mother said."What! Someone? I don't understand."Anu couldn't get it."Yes. It's possible that someone called her through illusionally magic."she said."And what's that?"Mr Smith asked."She was just imagining

    The branches immediately let Anu go. He was already tired and weak and his legs couldn't hold him upright any longer so he fell to the ground.Opening his eyes, Smith saw Anu laying on the ground too."Thank God, I managed to save my son."he said before running to him. "Anu, please open your eyes."he tried to wake him up.Still waking Anu up, Mr Smith moved his eyes to look back at his wife but to his shock, she wasn't there anymore."Where did she disappear to and how? A minute ago she was laying there unconscious and now..."he panicked."Where would I search for her. I can't leave Anu in this condition either. Oh merciful Lord, show me a way out."he prayed.He fell on his knees and thought of something. "I hope this would work for me."he said reaching for Anu's sword and stabbed him with it."Anu screamed in pain for like ten minutes and later he opened his eyes."Father!" He called when he saw him crying on the ground. He was fighting the urge to move his eyes and see the deep wou

    Meanwhile, I waited for Anu to come pick me up but all in vain. His grandpa had assured me that he would notify them about my whereabouts. I believe that Anu would try and get a way to get to me somehow but no.He wasn't coming to take me back home."Did they decide to let me stay here until my babies are born?"I asked myself."No. My Anu would never let me stay with a stranger for all these remaining six months."I would reply to my own questions."What's wrong dear. You look upset."a mermaid pointed."Amazing! I mean you can even talk."I said."Yes. You see am not a minor mermaid.""Meaning?""Am made of fog, lightening and rain drops that's why I can manage to live out of water too."it said."How are you related with that old man?" I asked and the mermaid started to cry."Hey! I didn't ask you to cry, I only asked how you are related to him."I was wondering what made it cry."I used to avoid being questioned, just avoiding questions like these."it said, looking hurt."Am sorry if I

    My happiness, my smile and my reason to live disappeared the moment I heard the doctor say I won't be able to conceive again.I tried to keep strong but suddenly passed out.I couldn't believe my ears but things were indeed happening.Later, her ghost started to hunt me like a prey. And that's when I made Nikki the king of the fog, I was prepared for death but fortunately Nikki found a way to keep me alive and safe, which was by swallowing me up whenever he detected danger coming."she explained. Her story was so scaring but I was a demon after all."Were you created like this?"I asked as my eyes moved from her hair to her last toe."No. I wasn't a mermaid at first."she said, looking shy."Then how come you are like this?"maybe I was killing her with questions."Well. When the ghost started to hunt for me, an old woman came in the castle and advised us that I should look for a mermaid's pearl and swallow it and then hide in the Sea for three days.

    I couldn't believe that their magic would bring our house back but was shocked and surprised too after seeing our house coming from the sky like a drop of rain."Unbelievable! How did you guys do it?"I suddenly asked, shocked by my own words. How could I call my elders, guys?"Oh. Am sorry. It's just that I was amazed."I hurried to apologise."It's okay. You don't need to apologise."Nikki said before he left which made me feel sad."How could he just leave before I could thank him?"I said with a frown face."What's wrong dear. Who are you talking about?"father asked, looking around."What? Didn't you notice Nikki's presence?" I asked."Who's Nikki?"he asked confused."This means he was invisible to him but why would he hide from others?"I wondered."It's nothing father. Let's carry these people inside."I said covering his question.He carried mother in his arms and took her inside. He made her lay down on the couch and then came back outside."Come and help me here." He wanted me to

    My heart jumped with joy and happiness after reading the letter. I couldn't wait to see my father again. I couldn't find sleep since my mind was very busy imagining how the surprise would be like..It was approaching to four o'clock in the morning when my heart skipped a beat and my mind went blank. I thought that maybe I was very excited to share the news with the family so I had to wake up and make noise through singing so that everyone's sleep could be interrupted and it really worked. Everybody woke up with a frowned face because they were angry with me at the moment."I have good news for you all.. I meant to say that father has called us all. He said he wants to surprise us."I said with a big smile."What's wrong with you? When did you see him?"Anu couldn't believe."Read this. I don't have to meet up with him in order to communicate with him, we're demons after all."I sighed."Read it for us Anu. Am sure Artie isn't joking about this, right Artie?"Nikki said."It's true Grandpa

    "But who had possessed you and why?"Nikki asked."I'll tell you later. What's very important right now is to conduct this ritual and let them inside first."she said."Alright then. But how will you do the ritual when the holy water isn't enough. I meant to say that there are only five Jerry cans of holy water yet they're....."he pointed."I think we'll have to seek help from the witch's tree once again."she looked to be lost in thoughts as she spoke."What are you waiting for then."Mother then tried to summon the witch's tree but in vain. We thought that maybe it was because of our presence and she had to walk away from the crowd but again the tree didn't show up.A minute later, a twig came and fell on my head and turned into a rocket immediately. It was the same rocket that Carlos gave me. I had left it at the ocean bank hoping that he'd one day collect it from there because I had no hopes of seeing him again. Moreso I didn't want to keep it as it would remind me of the best momen

    After some time, the other three woke up too. Mani immediately recognized me however his brother Manu just stood there, staring at me as if I was a stranger. "How are you mother."Mani hugged me. I couldn't answer because I was driven away by thoughts and sorrow. "My own son doesn't recognize me?"I breathed deeply before looking him in the eye. "Manu dear, don't you know who I am?"I asked politely. I didn't want to force things."I know you very well. I know how you left dad and I and disappeared. You don't love me at all. Dad might've forgiven you but I... I will never forgive you for neglecting me like that. You're the reason why I went through all this."he said and for a moment my mind went blank. I didn't have what to say to him or how to explain things to him. I just stared at him, speechless."Manu dear, it's not like how you think. Your mother loves both of you equally. I agree she left us but trust me when I say that she did what was right at the moment. She wanted to save y

    On opening it, I couldn't stop crying because of what was written there, ' best friends forever'."You'll forever be remembered my dear friend."I said.The girls did their best to put me in good mood but my worry for my family was too much. "Don't worry ma'am, am sure that cousin of yours will help you and very soon your family will come back."Remi comforted."I don't think he'll, after all he's a horrible person. He's a murderer remember and I don't trust him at all."Rema pointed sharply."How can I explain to you that Carlos is only a pure soul and he would never think of killing someone no matter what. He only took the blame for my sake."I thought. "I think we should trust him once, let's see if he can do something good for anyone."I said."As you say madam. And anyway ma'am, do you mind if we call you auntie because to me you're like my real auntie.""Of course I won't mind at all. You're my little angels and angels should only be loved and nothing else. It's okay you can call me

    "Why won't you dear?"he asked politely."Because the woman you're going to propose to is already married.""Ohh! You're right about that but you've forgotten that her husband is dead now which makes her single."he lied."Why do I have a feeling that you're lying to us? My mom always said that when someone is telling a lie, he can't look you in the eye and that's what you're doing."one of them pointed. This made me notice something about the two of them, one was introvert and the other was the opposite. She was so talkative I must say."Where's your mom's corpse?"I asked them."We're sorry madam. We conducted the last rituals by ourselves. We knew you were going through a lot that's why we never came to bother you.""I don't believe you, someone else must have helped you because I don't think you could do all that alone.""But we did madam."she said raising a brow."What made you disappear after healing my husband's wound. I didn't understand."I wanted answers to my questions."Am not

    "No. I refuse to believe this. My Anu can't be dead. I know you've taken him somewhere. You have to tell me what you've done to him, tell me now."I grabbed his arm with all my strength."What are you doing Artie? I know this is hard for you to believe but am afraid it's the truth... your husband is dead now."he said.I couldn't stop myself but to slap him so hard on his face. "Shut up! Do not say another word about my husband, do you hear me?""I won't say anything if that's what you really want. I think I should leave you and your problems alone because am tired of explaining myself to you that I'm not a bad person and my intentions are good yet no one is willing to believe in me. Am sorry if I troubled you in any way."he said and vanished.At that time I didn't care at all. I was only worried about my family. "Would they come back?"I kept asking myself. All I had to do was to wait for them with hopes that they'd surely come back.Some days elapsed with no sign of their return. As a

    Mother had to leave and go back home. "Artie, keep my words in mind."she said before disappearing."This woman also! Why can't see that all this is happening because Anu wanted to keep his powers and this decision of his is stopping my children from coming back to me. I need to do something, but what?"I thought. We couldn't speak to each other for two days although Anu tried to cheer me up sometimes.On the third day of the second week, the old man in my dreams came and appeared before Anu and I. "I've been watching you and I really like your patience. You still have hopes that your sons will come back even after all these days. Wow, keep it up."he said."Who are you?"Anu barked at him."He...is the same old man I told you about.""Old man?""Yes, he's the one who always come in my dreams."I explained. "What brings you here."I asked."I came here to help you after seeing how much you both love your sons."he said smiling."How are you going to help? And who called for your help?"Anu sh

    I then took her to where I had left Anu. The moment we came very close to him, I started to see some improvement. "What kind of magic does this girl possess?"I asked myself."Here he is."I said."Oh! He's my uncle."she jumped in excitement after looking at his face."Your uncle? How? I mean do you know him?""Yes, he's the same man in the picture that mom used to show to us. She said we should call him uncle, that's why. Oh, am so happy but..."she couldn't complete."What?"I asked curiously."I don't understand one thing, my mom used to tell us that uncle doesn't have a wife that's why he wanted to marry my mom so how come you're claiming to be his wife?""My worries are slowly coming true, Cucu's blood is haunting us."I breathed deeply. "Well...we married recently, that's why."I lied."Let me heal my uncle first but before that, you need to hide somewhere because my magic can't work when someone is watching me.""Alright then I'll go and hide. You'll call me when you're done, okay?"

    It was almost coming to midday and our kids hadn't returned yet, there was no any sign of their return the thing that caused locomotion in my stomach."No, the old man's words shouldn't come true."I prayed inwardly. I was getting worried and restless that I thought of summoning my mother. I felt like sharing the weird dream with her. I knew she could interpret it for me but no... she wasn't allowed to come see me at the moment as only Manu's parents and siblings were accepted."What should I do now."I didn't know that I said it loudly. "What, what do you want to do?"Anu asked."It's nothing."I lied."Still worried about the dream, right?""Ahhh no. I mean am not worried at all."I said giving him a plastic smile. "Am here, nothing is going to happen to our sons I promise. They'll have to come back for us no matter what."he assured.I always loved the courageous version of his.
