"I asked where's your father."Noble shouted at me.I had nothing to tell him. "Didn't you hear me?"he was coming at the altar.God knows what he wanted to do to me."M..my father...is no...""Am right here Mr Noble."a familiar voice intervened."Father! " I removed the veil to see for myself.I couldn't believe what I just heard."Where were you Lucie?"Noble asked as if he's asking a small kid."Am only here to bless my daughter. I will answer your questions later."he responded to Noble confidently."Come over and tie this knot sir."the priest said."What's wrong with father. I thought he came back to stop this wedding but he is here to bless the marriage? This can't be my Dad. This must be someone else in disguise. But the voice, how come his voice is the same as my dad's?"I was confused.I didn't think twice before getting up."Hey, who are you?"I asked.Without saying a word, he removed the cloth from his head that covered his face.Shocked, "father! "I breathed deeply."Artie dea
"Anu furiously got up, ready to attack my father from behind.He tried summoning his magical sword but in vain. His birthmark on the forehead started to grow and just like that a sword appeared in his right hand."Oh no! I hope this isn't the end and the beginning at the same time."Katie sounded scared."What are you mean?""Anu is going to attack Lucie using the supreme sword and he might die after that since he was once a king. Noble was never destined to be a king so he's one by mistake. This means your father is still considered a king and that sword won't spare him. We have to warn him about it.'katie explained."Father."I called to warn him but it was too late. Anu had hurled the sword towards my father.Seeing it going straight to father, I closed my eyes since I didn't want to see his death. For the first time I felt like I wasn't pregnant. My stomach wasn't heavy anymore but my head was heavy instead.I opened my eyes to see if my father was still alive since I didn't hear hi
"A demon! Where's it?" Inspector asked with a scared expression on his face as he looked around."You won't see anything by looking around because that's the reason I called you here. Those two are taking the demon's soul and it might prove to be dangerous to people out there. "Smith said."So what should I do about it now. I don't understand anything."inspector said. He looked really scared."You have to stop them from leaving especially Anu. If Mike wants to leave then there's no problem but Anu and the soul must stay at any cost."he explained to the inspector who was gazing at Mike with a soulbottle in his hands."What if the soul escaped from the bottle, won't it harm me. Am really scared."he finally confessed."I know, all this is shocking for you but you have to help me. I don't have any other choice. I have to stop Anu from leaving. He's my son-in-law and he's not safe with that gentleman, Mike."Smith convinced."Okay. Let me try though am not sure if I will manage."he said shi
Using the magical needle, Katie pierced me on the stomach and just like that the black thread turned red after getting into contact with some drops of blood. She then withdrew it from me and did the same to Anu. But this time the red thread just disappeared so she withdrew a needle alone."The thread. Where did it go?" I asked. Just a few seconds later, I got a strange and painful feeling in my stomach."Ouch. Ahhh.."I wailed."Catch her. I know this is very painful."Katie said.Both Smith and father caught me up and laid me down to the floor next to Anu."What happened to her?"father asked Katie when he noticed that the pain was unbearable."The babies are shifting to Anu's stomach. That's why she's feeling this pain."Katie explained."But Anu doesn't have a womb. How will he...."father couldn't complete his question."You're right. Anu doesn't have a womb but Artie has one.This means they will shift together with the womb. They can't leave it behind."she assured them."You're so am
News about Noble's death travelled miles and miles and by the next morning, everyone in the Jungle Dark world knew about it. People, demons and some powerful witches gathered at the throne headquarters. The reason for their gathering wasn't known yet.My heart pounded so hard and loud the moment I saw them coming. I thought they had come to protest against father. I knew they had come to punish Noble's killer but all this was answered the moment I found out that Noble's death became a victory for my family and the Jungle Dark world at large because he was a selfish king who cared only for his family, neglecting the citizens.I never knew that everyone hated him this much because instead of mourning his death, demons and people celebrated and congratulated father for regaining the throne back.All this caused much anger to the owl's heart as it was visible right on its face."Am I the only one who can see this owl? It seems like other people can't see it. I have to ask someone about i
That night everyone looked happy except for one person, my father Lucie. He looked to be lost in thoughts."Excuse me Anu. I need to go and discuss something with father."I said before leaving Anu's side."Father."I called but he couldn't hear me because of deep thoughts. "Hey, what are you busy thinking about?"I said and this time he heard me."Artie dear."he said positioning his hair with his hands."It's clear on your face that you're thinking about something heavy. What's that father."I asked."It's nothing, don't worry."he said but it was visible on his face that he was worried about it too."Don't hide anything from me father. We're family not strangers. You can tell me anything please."I insisted."There's no point in sharing this with you my dear because it doesn't have a solution."he said."Just tell me please. You never know I can find a solution for it. Believe me when I say that I can do the impossible for my family."I said."Actually the thing is my heart still wants to b
"My babies, you know I can't do anything that would save us right now. I know you heard everything he said, that am helpless and indeed I am. But you aren't helpless, right? I know you're weak to do something but I have complete faith in you that you would find a way to inform your father about this. You have to tell him that we're in danger so he can come to our rescue. Please try and find a way out."I talked to them. I wasn't sure if they'd do something but I had a feeling that they would try somehow.Evening came and the room became darker than before that I could barely see anything."How am I going to deliver in this darkness? How will I be able to save my children from this monster?"a lot of questions summoned to my mind.I never felt like a loser before but that night I felt defeated. I felt what every loser always feel after getting defeated.Time to give birth reached but I had no one by my side to encourage me, just like how Mike pointed before."Are you enjoying the moment?
"You can't tell me that you didn't see or hear anything. How did you go to that strange place? Who took you there and what happened after you had given birth?"he was unable to control his anger.I couldn't get annoyed with him for talking harshly to me. His anger was justifiable.I thought that maybe if he vent his anger on me he would somehow calm down but that didn't happen.The more he scolded me, the more furious he became."You need to tell me anything that you felt, heard or saw when we were away. Tell me now or else I will force you to."he shouted."Yes Artie dear. Tell us something. We'll be able to find your son and return him back to you. Tell us please." Mr Smith said."You don't need to worry or get scared of anything. Your father is here, everyone is here to take good care of you. To protect you and make sure that you're doing well with your babies so please tell us what you saw. Did those people kill him or something? Did they threaten you? Am sure they did. Maybe that's
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. It always got me fall in love with him over and over again. "I love you Mr Anu."I said coming closer to him an
