"I only came to save you and now that father's gone, I will go to gather enough proof."he said."We're very late because the wedding is tomorrow.""Don't worry mother, Manu and I will do our best to stop it from happening that I promise you."he assured me."Thanks my dear."I embraced him with a hug.Morning came with beautiful sounds of the singing birds from the jungle and a heart thrilling scent from the flower garden.My heart skipped a beat when I realized that it was indeed morning. "Oh Lord, please don't take Anu away from me and his child. Give me the courage to tell him the truth about his parents and don't let anything stop Mani from coming. It's very important for him to get here on time."I prayed.( A knock on the door), "who's it?"I asked."It's me."a familiar voice replied. It was Cucu's."What brought you here?"I asked."Will you let me in or I should force myself in?"she mocked.I didn't want to create problems for myself so I got the door for her."Why did you come her
"What are you saying? How could I do something like this?"he asked."But you've done it. Are you trying to say that I called you from your room and brought you here? I guess Agie knows what really happened, you can ask her. Agie dear, tell your husband what you just saw. Tell us dear...""Don't pretend as if you were out of your mind Anu. It's obvious that you don't love me but you shouldn't have betrayed me like this on my wedding day. I mean... how could you?"she said crying."Are you blaming me for what happened too? Don't you trust me?"Anu looked defeated."Of course she doesn't because someone who trusts you would never think of questioning you and here she's doing so, do you want some more proof for that?"I intervened. "It's all your fault. You have crossed your limits today, you've made me realize that marrying you was a huge mistake I have ever made. Am the one who brought you to this house but today, right this moment, am ousting you from this house and my life as well. Am br
**ANU** 😢"What! There's a whole lot of things that I would forgive but I just can't take a liar. I just hate it when someone tries to stab me in the back.. I hate it.. Father.. how... I could you do that to me? Why father why?? I brought my son to you thinking that you looked up at him as your own, I thought that you would shower him with all of your love and that you'll keep him safe in my absence.. but you... you just prayed that I should leave so you could kill him. I always fought the world for the two of you, I treated you like heaven by making you my first priority. I could kill whoever said ill about you. I always thought that you wish me good but I was wrong.. you people never cared about me. At least you should've killed me instead of my son. You didn't just kill him, you killed me too. I can't live after this betrayal. Imagine killing my son, my own flesh and blood just for powers. Did I ever ask you for extra powers? Can't humans become leaders despite having no powers?
"Anu please, she's your mother."I reminded him."Let's go from here."he said grabbing Mani's hand.."follow me."he added."Hold on a second."Katie stopped him from leaving. "What is it now, if you're going to ask me to stay, you better keep your opinions to yourself because I won't listen to what you have to say."he said looking nervous."I won't ask you to stay because I also don't want you to stay with these people anymore. They've hurt you enough but not anymore.Actually I wanted to give you this. It will protect you from any danger."she said tying the black threads on their ankles. "How about me Katie?"I asked with a questioning look."You can take care of yourself."she said."I guess you've forgotten that Anu is more powerful than me currently."I pointed."Enough! Shut up Artie!"he yelled all of a sudden. "What's the matter Anu?"I asked worriedly."No one should talk about my useless powers... it's because of these extra powers that I lost my son, my Manu was killed in exchange f
I had to get back to Anu at any cost. Luck was on my side that night because I came up with a brilliant idea of leaving my shadow behind with them and indeed it worked for me."I just hope Anu isn't asleep yet."I thought on getting into the room. "What took you so long to come back.. didn't you know I was waiting for you? Why do you like making me wait?"he was angry."Don't tell me you're angry with me now, are you?""Why not. I mean why wouldn't I be angry with you, you lied to me that you wouldn't take long but look now.. you've spent the whole night there. It's obvious that you don't want me to touch you tonight that's why you spent a lot of time in Mani's room, am I right about that?""You're very wrong about this love. Actually Katie and mom wanted me to keep them company that's why.""Hey, stop giving me explainations.. I was joking with you. You know I can't be angry with you my love."he broke in laughters."Really? You mean you aren't mad at me for making you wait?""I can wai
"Of course I can't wait to have my sweetest meal ever."I chuckled back. He then bent over and carried me in his arms and put me on the bed saying "this is going to be our playground."For some strange reasons I felt like tearing up his t-shirt. I couldn't wait any longer."Will you please make it quick?"I asked."What?""Put off your T-shirt please. I want you naked."I was shameless at the moment."Naked?""Yes.. do you have a problem with that?""Of course yes. You know it's been awhile since we last slept together and made love to each other..""And so what?""I feel shy to get naked before you now.""Are you kidding me?"I was getting furious.Instead of answering my question he put off his t-shirt that I was able to look at his gorgeous body once again. "Remove that too."I pointed at his boxer."Oh my God. But you aren't naked either..why do you want me to remove all my clothes and yet for you, you want to remain with your night dress?""I will remove it after you've appeared nake
"Hunny, do you remember when you were hesitant to hurt me in order to find my mom, do you know what happened when you put your fear aside and cut off my hands? If you were able to do it for my mother, can't you do the same for our child?"I reminded him."This is a different story Artie. Try to put yourself in my shoes and tell me if you would simply stab our son."he said coldly."The choice is yours. We've done our part but it seems you don't want to lose your new powers. Maybe that's why you don't want to do anything to help Manu out.. if you knew you still wanted your powers then why did you give us false hopes that you will do anything..why Anu ..why?Today you've proved that you also wanted these powers. Do you know what this means.., it means that you had a hand in whatever your family did to my son.But what's the point of talking to you about this when it's what you wanted."I was angry."What are you even saying Artie. You know I would never do something like that moreover to m
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
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.

"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
