The weather was perfect, the sky was dark. The stars were shining and above all the moon was full…its light was very visible and indeed beautiful.But this night was about to turn into a nightmare for every member of Arthur's family.Banshee wasn't going to let go of such an opportunity…which one would say comes once in a lifetime."You are here" Banshee dropped the small wooden bowl she was holding while she sat on the floor.She also stopped her chants when she noticed the King and Catherine descending from the vehicle."Yes and as requested I have brought her '' the King went closer to Banshee as he dragged Catherine along with him."What is the meaning of all these?!... If you want to k*ll me then you should just go ahead and do it.I cannot continue to live my life as if I am a prisoner" Catherine kept on lamenting as the King held her hand very tightly, trying to restrict her movements."Shhh!! Just keep quiet okay!" He ordered her as he pr
The King had almost succeeded in drowning Catherine when her body started to float out of the water.She was glowing…her entire body was purple. The King was so stunned that he stumbled backwards."Oh please quit the drama. I am the one doing it" Banshee's voice echoed and he turned to look at her.Her words had given him such a kind of relief."But why are you saving her now? You had once asked me to get rid of her so why…?" The King was very confused."Yes…I had but that was then. Now I have seen how useful she is to us now and she can still be useful in the future especially when it is time for us to k*ll Mia" Banshee looked at the pool with her eyes half closed."We have to get out of here now" Banshee ordered and pointed her index finger to everything that she had used to prepare the charm and they all disappeared one after the other and so did she with her partner in crime.At Mia's orphanage late at nightMia couldn't get herself to sleep…
Scott's POVWho was that girl and why did I feel so horrible when I pushed her? After all I just retaliated to her locking me in that room but where on Earth I'm I and how I'm I going to get out of this place so I can go in search of my mother?I wonder how she must be doing at the hospital…should I chase after the girl so she would tell me where this place is and why I am here."Uhrm…excuse me" I knocked gently on the door and for some reason I felt like I had done this before and not just once but many times."Can you please…" I was trying to find the right words to use."GET OUT!!" She yelled at me and I shivered a bit. Her voice was quite thunderous and that too for a girl of her age.The next school day"Mia!" Lakshmi exclaimed as she caught Mia just in time before she could fall."Woah… are you okay?? Didn't seem like you were watching where you were headed?" Lakshmi was very concerned because it was unlike Mia to be absent minded."I a
At Lakshmi's house"Mum!!" I jumped up from the chair and went to hug my mother. I was more than happy to see her, it has been nearly a month now and I haven't even set my eyes on her."I see someone missed me alot" my mum smiled as she hugged me back."More than alot mom. A lot isn't even the right word to qualify how much I missed you" I had a beaming smile on my face."Hmm…I can see that but where is your brother?" My mum stretched her neck as she looked for any signs of him but she couldn't find him."He went out mum" I lied…well it wasn't a complete lie though. He went out like three days ago.I tried to stop him but he kept on insisting, my brother hadn't just lost his memory but his senses as well.. if not then why would he just suddenly take his things and leave without telling anyone.The truth couldn't be hidden for long. My lie was beginning to come to surface. Both my parents were home and it was already so late but there was no sign of m
Still at a random street in the countryAs Mia beheld the gaze in front of her. She adjusted her glasses as if doubting her eyesight.Was her glasses faulty or was she just imagining things. The person in front of her looked like another version of her.It was like looking into a mirror and your reflection bouncing back.Mara's eyes also widened in amazement, never had she imagined herself wearing such clothes before not to talk more of putting on glasses."Who are you?" Mia slowly spoke as she blinked her eyes slowly."I.." Mara wanted to explain but she heard someone scream from behind and she knew she had to make a run for it if she wanted to remain alive.She pushed Mia roughly as she ran off. Three hefty men in Black which were chasing Mara earlier didn't even notice Mia who was on the floor and rubbing her injured shoulder.At Lakshmi's houseLakshmi's POV"Please wait!!" I yelled as I ran after the lady with my phone in my hand.
At Mia's orphanageMia hugged her pillow very tightly as she looked at the ceiling. What game was destiny trying to play with her?"Mia" she heard someone call out her name very softly and she immediately recognized the voice."Dad" she whispered as she stood up to go lock her door."Yes my dear I am here. He appeared in front of her and sat beside her on the bed.This time he no longer needed the mirror to have a conversation with his daughter although she wouldn't be able to touch him but it was all thanks to Banshee.Flashback of "Trapping Arthur's spirit""MIA! MIA!" Arthur kept on calling out to his daughter but she couldn't hear him. He tried to get out of the water but it felt like the water was solid and it became a strong wall restricting his exit."Mia!!" He kept on hitting the water as if banging on a hard metallic doorAt Mia's room that same nightMia's necklace didn't want to stop glowing. It was trying to tell her something
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
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
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
