Alyssa's POV
"Alyssa!!!" I heard my mom's voice , she was calling out to me but why now? Why did she have to call me when I was finally hitting my target, when I finally had Mia where I wanted her. No! I had to ignore my mum's voice, for the first time I won't answer her."Alyssa!!!" She called out again but this time I could feel some sort of pain in her voice, it was as if she was begging me to come." I tied Mia up with a rope and surrounded her with snakes while she was in the bubble but the spell wasn't going to last for long so I needes to hurry and I cast another spell to teleport myself out of the bubble."Mum! " I called out to my mother as I couldn't believe my eyes.My mum was on her bed, rolling and crying out for help, she was calling my name and she had so many bruises in her skin as if she had been flogged all over her body.Her eyes were still closed and I could tell she wasn't aware of my arrival"Mum! Mum mum wake up please.. mum.." I waBack at Mia's schoolIt was still dark and Mia was still trapped in that bubble, she couldn't get out but Alyssa's spell had worn off.She stood up and let her tears flow, she knew there was no escape for her and when Alyssa returns, she knew that she would surely be dead, nothing was going to save her or so she thought.She was shaken, when she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder."Ahh!" She screamed and closed her eyes while her palms were firmly resting on her ears. She didn't want to see what horrible creature Alyssa had turned herself into."Open your eyes Mia, there is no need to be scared" she heard her father's voice and slowly opened her eyes. She tried to hug her father but he disappeared and appeared in another part of the bubble."Mia!" Arthur called out to his daughter who was very confused as to why he just had to vanish."You must never try to touch me because it is impossible. I am dead and you're living, we cannot have any physical contact
At the palaceBanshee's POV"You aren't saying anything?" The king was partially shouting and although he was standing behind me I could feel the fear and vibration in his voice."What exactly do you want me to say? What else do you want to hear?!" I thundered back because I was getting frustrated already by the whole issue."I want you to tell me you have a solution. I want you to say you can do something!" He forcefully grabbed my shoulders so that I was now facing him."Say something! Say anything!" he was freaking out and it looked like he was going to lose his mind any moment."You have to get a hold of yourself!" I screamed at him and forcefully took his hands off my shoulder before I took a pause and turned around so I wasn't facing him."Besides.. This issue is beyond me. I don't know what to do because we aren't dealing with the living. HE IS DEAD and I don't know how to stop him from taunting us" I was disappointed and angered because I had neve
Catherine's POVI watched as the strange man foolishly left the room as if he wasn't even in control of his own mind and I wasn't surprised at all. It wasn't the first time it was happening."Arthur!" I called out to my husband as I used my eyes to scan the room only to find him sitting on the couch in the room."Thank goodness you are here. Let's go please, just take me away from this place please '' I pleaded with Arthur. I had enough of this place and I knew that my cup was filled up, I wasbt so sure that this strange man would still keep me alive."No Catherine, I cannot do that. You will have to stay here because I cannot take you away from him unfortunately" Arthur was trying to sound strong but I could sense the sadness in his voice."Why Arthur? Why do you want to leave me here?" A teardrop escaped from my eyes."Because I just can't take you from here. If I take you away with me then you will have no choice but to cross over to the other world with me and if you do that then
Mara's POV"That is all for now. If there is anything that I would like to add then I will tell you while we continue the journey so far,Do you have any questions?" Keren asked me after she was done giving me so many instructions that I wondered if I was supposed to be writing them down so I wouldn't forget anything."But you said that I shouldn't ask you any questions" I looked at her with my confused eyes."I didn't say that, I only said you shouldn't ask me many questions and the questions I'm requesting you to ask right now are the ones that concern the instructions that I have given you.Is there anything that needs to be clarified?" She asked again and I nodded my head sideways as a way of telling her no and she started the car.It was a very quiet drive to wherever she was taking me but the silence was soon broken by the sound of cars, horning impatient drivers who were also caught in the traffic with us at the highway.I looked out the window to see the world from another per
Mara's povWhen the waiter served the food for both the lady and myself. I stared at the good and then at the akdy wondering whether it would be proper for me to eat or not.I looked at Keren who sat far behind the lady as she was also munching on her food but the look she gave me was a "don't stare at me'' look.You are going to ruin the plan" yes she didn't say anything with her lips though but her eyes were more than enough warning for me.I brought out my phone and sent her a text."Can I eat this food?" I waited for her reply."Why not?" She instantly replied."What if she is trying to kill me? I am too young to die from food poisoning" I sent the last one with a crying emoji and she sent a laughing emoji."You can also feed her some, just to be sure" she finally replied and put my phone back in my pocket before I scooped some of the spoon with a smile on my face as I fed the pretty lady.I cannot believe I am being paid so much just to feed someone this beautiful, I could do it
At Lakshmi's houseAfter Lakshmi had dropped Mia at the orphanage on an early Monday morning, she came back home very frustrated as she walked into the house like someone who wasn't thinking straight.Her eyes looked somewhere different from where her legs walked. She dragged her school bag like gabbage and sat on the couch, burying her face in between her palms.Everything that happened that dreadful night kept on playing in her head like a recorded movie, she just couldn't get herself to stop thinking about it and it was slowly driving her crazy.She messed up her hair and pinched her face a little out of anger, the worst part of everything was that she wasn't even able to ask Mia how she managed to save herself from Alyssa.Her brother carefully observed her from a distance, even though she didn't know that she was being watched."So I am guessing that the school's sleepover didn't go as planned" Scott threw an apple in the air and then caught it."No
Lakshmi's POV"You are m*d Scott! You are very m*d!" I gave him a slap across the face but the slap wasn't too hard, it was just enough to make him release his grip on me and I got up from the bed."Ouch!" He exclaimed in pain."Do you even know what you're saying?" I was so angered that I couldn't bring my voice down.He immediately stood up as well and covered my mouth. I bit his hand and he removed his hand from my mouth, waving them in the air and trying to shake the pain off."Wow sis! You are a fighter" Scott looked surprised."Next time I will break your bones" I threatened him but he just scoffed."Why are you so jealous?" Scott was trying to play with me."JEALOUS? Realty Scott? You think I am jealous? You bring a mannerless girl into the house without telling me and I am not sure mom and dad know about this. I cannot wait to tell them" I brought out my phone threatening to dial my father's line but he stopped me by forcefully taking it from
Still at Mia's schoolMia couldn't even wait for Jones to get to where she stood before she slammed her locker and walked away.She was walking so fast that it almost felt like she was running. Jones knew that chasing after her would be the worst idea ever as he went back to where he left his friend."I told you she was a very bad choice" Nathan tapped Jones on his shoulder as he pressed his lips and shook his head."Just shut up okay" Jones walked away, he looked more sad than angry.The next day at Mia's schoolLakshmi's POVI blew some air into my cheek as I played with my hair while I sat on my desk waiting for Mia.The classroom door wasn't closed and I could see what was going on. Mia was trying to enter the classroom and a very cute guy was coming from the opposite direction when he bumped into her.I didn't find it strange that Mia tried her best to avoid eye contact with this guy because, well, that's just Mia. But when I had my suspicion
Scott's POVMy d*ck which was hard as a rock not too long ago came down at once and I slid out of Emily at once."Lakshmi" I blinked my eyes severally to make sure I wasn't imagining things.My worst nightmare has come…it has barely been 24 hours and she has already caught me with Emily."I'm sorry I didn't mean to disturb both of you" Lakshmi rushed out of the room with almost the same speed she came in with."Let's continue from where we stopped ''Emily dragged me back on the bed so I was on top of her but I was no longer in the mood."Maybe later okay…I have to go do something now" I lied to her as I dashed out of the room to go and find Lakshmi.Emily's POVCould it be that Scott is in love with his sister or maybe they are both having an affair? If not then why does he always leave me whenever she comes around.Whatever the case maybe there is something going on between both of them.Lakshmi's POVWhat is wrong with me? Why do I get upset whenever I see my brother with another gi
Two weeks had passed after the party and Lakshmi was returning from somewhere with her brother. Whatever he said must have been very funny because she was laughing so hard."You have no idea…I left her so shocked she nearly forgot her own name" Scott continued to talk which made Lakshmi laugh even harder but she paused and stumbled backwards as if she had just seen a ghost in her house."You!" Her eyes were wide open…at first Scott wondered what could be so surprising but when he also saw who was standing in front of them he reacted almost in the same way as she did."So you know each other?" Lakshmi's dad walked up to them alongside another man who was properly dressed in a green suit. He looked like he was around the same age as Lakshmi's dad."Ehrm…" Lakshmi and Scott echoed at the same time."Yes dad…I know him" Emily said very quickly with a squeezed face."Oh…Lakshmi meet Mr Ryan…he is Emily's father and my new business partner. He will be staying here
At Lakshmi's house"Wow!!" Lakshmi held on tight to her dress as she gasped in amazement. She never thought that her school could look so beautiful at night."Mia look" Lakshmi pointed at every decoration she could see.Mia just kept tilting her head left and right."It is beautiful '' Mia gave Lakshmi a faint smile."Quit acting like a bush girl…should I come inside with you or I should just wait for you two in the car?" Scott asked his sister who kept looking around…she couldn't be blamed though…she had never been outside this late before and she hadn't attended a night party before…probably just some few birthday parties but none like this."Come with us," Mia suddenly said."Hmmn" Scott thought about it for a while before he eventually gave in.Even his sister whom he had asked earlier didn't give him an answer so he thought it would just be wise to keep an eye on her.Everyone looked so beautiful, Mia and Lakshmi for some reason outshone ever
Banshee's POVFinally everything was falling into place. I threw the necklace into the boiling pot and as expected the whole thinking bubbled some more like a volcano but what I didn't expect was the eruption of the contents and the whole thing was ruined as it spilled recklessly on the floor."MUM!" Alyssa exclaimed and ran out of the room almost immediately."I also moved away from the pot as well.After the whole thing had cooled down I went into the room to see the damage, the necklace was half burnt and the floor was smoking."WHAT?" I gasped. It was totally impossible…this necklace is indestructible."What happened?" Alyssa looked at the floor and then she looked back at me."You have been played…this…this is fake" I picked up the necklace and threw it at the wall. It broke into pieces at once."No it…it can't be" she tried to argue."Oh just stop it…shut up and get out of my sight " I sent her out.I thought I was the one that cursed Mi
At lakshmi's house; In Lakshmi's room"Mia what are you even saying to me? How can you decide to give Alyssa your necklace? If you do that then Alyssa would…" Lakshmi was protesting…protesting couldn't even qualify how aggressive she was sounding."You have to calm down" Mia interrupted her and then something dawned on Lakshmi. She wasn't the one who told Mia about Alyssa's outrageous demand so how did Mia find out?"My father told me" Mia read Lakshmi's mind and answered her question even before she could ask."Hmmn" Lakshmi sighed before she closed her eyes very slowly and buried her face in her palms like she usually did when she was disturbed."You don't have to worry she will be here soon with your brother. I already informed her that I was willing to give her the necklace" Mia reminded Lakshmi.The room just screamed in silence because on one hand Mia was thinking about why her father hadn't shown up with the fake necklace yet and on the other hand Lakshmi was busy thinking abou
Lakshmi's POV"Well, what do you want me to do? His condition isn't getting any better" I overheard my father yelling at my mum. I knew he was referring to my brother and they seemed to be in a heated argument because of him."That doesn't mean we should give up…whether you like it or not he is still our son" my mother answered back in the same tone he spoke to her."He slept with a nurse there" my dad revealed to my mum."Well as you said he slept with her…did she complain that he was r*ped…if not then what is the problem there?" My mum fluttered her eyes."Are you supporting what he did? Did you enjoy it when he did it to you?" My father asked my mum a very ridiculous question."Get my son out of that hospital…let's find a solution. He has been there for so many weeks and he isn't recovering so get him out of there!!" my mum yelled."He isn't even your real son. I don't know why you are so bothered about him," my father grumbled."What did you just say?" My mum forced him to face he
Still at Lakshmi's houseAlyssa gave Scott a peck on the lips as he wrapped his hands around her waist and returned the kiss. He lifted her up and placed his hands firmly on her soft bums."Lakshmi" he stopped k*ss*ng Alyssa suddenly and dropped her on the floor carelessly."What was that for?" Alyssa scolded him."She is bleeding…is she alright?" He declared with wide opened eyes and Alyssa rolled her eyes."So what is our business if she is alive or not. You should be bothered about me and no one else…is that understood?" Alyssa ordered as her eyes turned bloodshot red and the more Scott looked into her eyes.. the more he fell into her trap.He was completely under her spell and he would do anything she wanted and nothing more."Yes" he followed her like some kind of zombie."Now carry me to your room.. I came here for you…but unfortunately I met this dumb sister of yours" Alyssa became disappointed.Scott did as she instructed him.. he lifted her and was heading for his room when
At Lakshmi's houseLakshmi's mum almost had a heart attack when she found her stepson laying on Lakshmi's bed. He looked half dead as his eyes didn't settle at a particular place."Lakshmi!!!" She yelled as she stood at the entrance of the door looking dumbfounded.Before anyone, including her husband who stood behind her, could understand what was going on. She fell to the floor and collapsed."MOM!!" Lakshmi's eyes widened as she left her brother and ran towards her mother."Mummy…please open your eyes" she had begun to cry already even though nothing was wrong with her mother.Her dad quickly lifted his wife off the floor and rushed her to his room before he called the family doctor who arrived there in no time."Is she going to be fine?" Lakshmi's dad was more than concerned as he watched how his wife just laid on the bed without responding."Yes she will…she just passed out…out of shock…she should be…" the doctor was talking but then he took
Lakshmi's POVI wonder why that lady hasn't called me or visited me yet. It has been three days already and I was really hoping that she would lead us to my brother but she clearly wasn't interested in the money.My parents never acted the same way again…probably because they had given up.Rumors had spread that my brother was dead already and as usual my parents used work as an excuse to cover up their pain.They were barely at home and they didn't even comfort me when I needed them the most. My whole life was completely upside down, nothing seemed to work.I have tried to tell Mia but she just gives me the weirdest answers and telling her doesn't help me feel better in anyway.I sat on my couch and buried my face in my palms, I was crying and I didn't want to hold back the tears any longer."If I was an intruder then wouldn't I have raped you" I heard a familiar voice and shook my head in disbelief before I raised my head to look at the person that
