Arianna stood still while she was fidgety, Brian turned around to see exactly what it was, but he found nothing as he continued turning.

“We should run!” Arianna protested.

“We should find out the angle at which the noise is coming, only then we can run” Brian answered while still being observant.

“Would that be necessary right now Brian?”

“Of course, we might end up running in the direction of the noise” Brian whispered.

Arianna admitted it was wise to find out what the noise was about and the direction it was coming from firstly, they stood at the spot for a few minutes, they couldn’t hear the noise any longer.

As they both found nothing, they both agreed to continue with their walk carefully.

Brian walked in front, he instructed Arianna to be a few steps away from him.

“Why?” Arianna questioned.

“We’re approaching where the sound came from, I should be the one to tackle whatever it is before it gets to you”.

“I do...n’t agree” Arianna stuttered.

“Our deal is that I always protect y

    “It’s alright if that’s how you want it General Brian!”“But why did the truck make such a loud and scary noise?” Arianna asked.“It’s probably due to engine trouble” Brian answered.“Oh, they had better get a new engine or better still a new truck” Arianna lamented.“I agree, the noise is quite disturbing,” Brian said.“Enough of the rickety truck sound”“Shall we proceed inside?” Arianna teased.Brian playfully lowered his head as a sign of respect “The Luna has spoken, we must head inside!”.“You would not stop being naughty,” Arianna remarked.Hearing him call her Luna made her feel relieved in some type of way, even after he knew she had lost her powers he still regarded her as “The Luna!”.Arianna walked in the direction of the door and Brian was a few steps away from him, he walked a bit faster to catch up with her.After catching up with her, he ran one of his hands across her shoulders and planted a kiss on her cheek.“Really?”“You’re really doing this right now?” Arianna sa

    “A truck containing people and luggage at this time of the night?”“Where could they be heading?” Brianna asked herself aloud.“How did you discover it was a truck?” She asked aloud.“The Ray of Light from the headlamp of the truck” Arianna quickly replied.“That made you sure it was a truck? How about you Brian?” Asked Brianna.“I peeped through the little hole in the fence” “I’ve got a weird feeling about the truck” Brian answered.“Were you able to note the plate number on the truck?” Brianna inquired.“Oops, it skipped my mind” Brian replied touching his forehead.“Ari and I have decided to run a little background check concerning the truck later in the day” he further said.“That’s brilliant! I also have an eerie feeling about the truck and its constituents”“But how did you two intend to do that?” Brianna questioned.Arianna explained how they both had intended to go about it while yawning. “We all should head to bed now, especially you both so you can get enough rest before h

    “It shouldn’t take us too long to arrive back”“We only have a few questions for them to answer, we’ll be back in a jiffy,” Arianna said.“Did you inform them you’d be coming?” Brianna asked.“No mum, I didn’t think it was necessary” Arianna replied.“Okay, say me well to them all” Brianna urged.“I’ll be sure to do so”“Isn’t the food ready yet?” Arianna grumbled.“You were saying?” Brianna asked with a frown.“I was only saluting you”, Arianna replied with a halfhearted smile.“Better!” Brianna said as she switched off the gas cooker.“Finally!” Arianna danced as she watched Brianna dished the food.Arianna was so famished that she couldn’t wait to get to the dining table before eating, she started eating on the spot Brianna had dished her portion of the meal.“Such an epicure!” Brianna thought.Arianna walked to the dining while eating, she met Brian in the sitting room already sitting patiently.“I should be done in a few minutes” Arianna declared with her mouthful.Brian smiled a

    “Really?”“Yes,” Arianna responded.“You get yourself worked up over little things a lot,” Brianna said as she rubbed Arianna’s hair with her hands.Arianna gave her mother a tight hug, Brianna removed her hands from her hair and patted her on the back, Arianna could no longer hold her emotions, she let them out by crying.As she broke down, she sobbed like a kid. Brianna held her more tightly while using one hand on her hair while the other was on her back.Brianna didn’t urge Arianna to stop crying, she wanted her to let it all out, Brian watched passionately as the Mother and daughter comforted one another.Arianna soon stopped crying, she let Brianna go as she wiped her tears “It’s alright!” Brianna said smiling.“You should eat before it gets cold,” Brianna said, she stood up to get the food on the dining table for Arianna. She was halfway to the dining when Brian carried the food and hurriedly walked up to her to hand it over.“Thank you! you should eat before it gets cold also

    “You don’t think it is?” Brian questioned. “Yes,” Arianna replied and stared at him. “Why?, Did you already have other plans for today?” Brianna asked “No Mum, but after what they did yesterday, I don’t think reporting there again would be a good idea. “About that Ari I assumed we’ve concluded already, would you just want us to give up on the investigation just like that!? Brian said from the front seat of the car where he sat. “And who said who’s giving up on the investigation?” Arianna queried. “You still haven’t informed me all about that transpired between you and the security agencies yesterday” Brianna cuts in. Arianna cleared her throat and explained in detail all that ensued between her, Brian, and the two security agency representatives to Brianna. Brianna was greatly pissed and worried at the same time after Arianna gave her a detailed explanation, “Why won’t the security agencies regard her with the respect she deserves after all she’s Luna, firstly it was the digni

    Brian soon came out of his room and he joined both Arianna and Brianna in the kitchen. “Ari, have you concluded how we’re going about the investigation on the truck?” Brian asked as he entered the kitchen. Arianna could sense he was growing more curious about the truck as each day passed by. Arianna knew telling Brian to wait until the next day would make Brian feel she was unbothered about the welfare of the people in the truck. “Let’s at least eat first!” Arianna said facing Brian. “Alright,” Brian replied and left the kitchen for the living room instantly making Arianna think he was upset due to what she had just said. “Excuse me, Mum!” Arianna said and hurriedly rushed out of the kitchen, she was on her way to his room when Brian called her from the sitting room where he sat on the couch. Arianna turned and headed to the living room,” You have something for me?” Brian inquired. “No, not at all” Arianna replied. “Why then were you headed in my room's direction?” Brian asked

    It was the next day, a Saturday morning, at exactly 5:30 am the alarm rang which woke Arianna up, without opening her eyes, she rolled to the end of the bed beside it was the alarm, she stretched forth her hands and snoozed the alarm. She rolled back to the middle of the bed and wrapped herself in her pink duvet.Brianna’s alarm had rung also, she didn’t hesitate to snooze the alarm just like Arianna did, she didn’t need to wake up so early after all making breakfast so early wouldn’t be necessary. Brian was the only one who got up at the sound of the alarm, he stood up and went into the shower almost immediately, as soon as he came out he walked up to the standing mirror and began to admire himself.“Little wonder Ari couldn’t resist me,” he said aloud as he smiled.After admiring himself for a while, he walked up to his wardrobe to pick something not too simple to clothe himself in for the day, he finally settled for a vintage shirt and long trousers.

    As Arianna thought about it, She became a little confused by the whole situation “ I should be the one doing the apology, not the other way round!” She said aloud.“What could have spurred him to apologize?”Arianna read the messages all over again, she had mixed feelings in the process as she liked his choice of words and every bit of it but she didn’t like that she made him so worried over such a petty issue.“I wonder if the lovesick puppy was able to close his eyes throughout the night”“He must have had a sleepless night,” Arianna said aloud with a funny face.“I am a horrible person,” she said and burst into laughter.When Arianna thought she had seen it all, she switched on her mobile data to be sure another murder hadn’t come up right under her nose, she got notifications from her WhatsApp and saw Brian’s name pop up.“Brian again!” She said as she waited for all her messages to load before opening his message. Arianna was so curious as he waited, a few minutes later, she open

    “She mentioned something about her being a witch, I’m not so sure she knew what she was saying,” Brian said.“Yes, she is,” Arianna said.“Alice is truly a witch?!”“All this while?” “She has been pretending!” Brian yelled.“Yeah, she would witches are frowned upon in your pack after all” Selene cuts in.“But I’ve been at her place for months training, I never for once saw you here” Arianna protested.“Our meeting was agreed to be kept a secret, he was afraid Alice might have eyes on him”“He comes here disguising and you were always training those times, you wouldn’t even notice him,” Selene remarked.“And you didn’t mention anything to me?” Arianna protested.“Yes, since you both weren’t working against each other”“If I had told you wouldn’t be able to conquer Alice, you might have developed cold feet and not want to challenge her in a fight even when the fight was necessary” Selene mentioned.“The potion took roughly two months to be ready, hence the reason I insisted your traini

    “That is a question for the moon goddess and not me,” Selene remarked.“I wouldn’t get answers to any of my questions?” Arianna inquired.“Brian will explain all you need to know to you,” Selene said.“I do not ever want to see that betrayal”“He could hurt me,” Arianna said.“He’ll explain everything to you when he comes,” Selene remarked.“He’s coming here?”“You came to save me as he approached me remember, you knew he wanted to harm me”“And now you allow him to come here?”“How did he find this place?” Arianna asked.“Brian isn’t what you think of him right now, hear from him, and then you can judge him”“He won’t hurt you, trust me” Selene mentioned.“When is he coming?”“You’ll be by my side throughout his stay right?” Arianna inquired.“If that would make you feel safe”“He would be here in no time” Selene responded.Arianna and Selene remained in the living room, awaiting Brian’s arrival, after a couple of hours he arrived.“Ari,” he said smiling as he stood close to her.“Do

    “You mentioned you had something important to do to her earlier before the end” A soldier whispered to Alice.“I’ve decided to pay her last respect by letting her die before taking it away from her” Alice responded.“Go ahead!” She instructed.A soldier came out with the well-sharped sword, as he raised it Arianna closed her eyes and awaited her death.Arianna began to hear swords clashing, she opened her eyes and wondered what was happening, she found out a group of soldiers were attacking Alice’s soldiers and within the twinkle of an eye they wiped them out.Alice, Arianna, and the new set of soldiers remained on the spot and stared at one another.“Where are you from?!” Alice yelled.“From this pack” they all replied.“We heard you have powers but we came prepared for you,” A voice said.Alice and Arianna simultaneously turned to have a look at who it was, “Brian!” Alice yelled.“Brian baby, your soldiers mixed things up, they were supposed to come for Arianna’s soldiers and not mi

    Alice snatched the sword from her and used it on her feet pining it to the ground.Arianna groaned in pain as she struggled to take the sword off her feet, “Nice stunt, you dare attack me with bees”“I’ve been too gentle on you and I think I underestimated you”“But I guarantee you you aren’t leaving this place alive!” Alice said to Arianna while groaning.Arianna managed to remove the sword and leaped towards Alice with the sword in her right hand.“It is you who wouldn’t leave this place alive” Arianna mentioned and she paused while her feet continued to bleed, she tore a piece of her cloth again and tied it around her feet to suppress the bleeding.She tried attacking Alice with the sword but she dodged all of Arianna’s attempts, she leaped as she continued to try.“You have the last chance to do as I say and walk out alive”“The choice is yours”“I should round this up quickly before the cops get here,” Alice said.Immediately she began to float in the air and her hair blew alongs

    Arianna walked through the wilderness as he made her way to her pack, she gently inhaled the fresh air and she wore a triumphant look, behind her were her soldiers.Arianna made it through the wilderness and was now in the residential area, “A lot has changed in the pack, feels like I’ve been gone for a decade” She said to herself.As she continued with her journey, she drew a lot of attention from the pack members as many wondered why she was walking around the pack instead of being in a car.Some of the pack members acknowledged her presence with so much fear that she began to think why such was happening and then she figured out they thought she was Alice.The soldiers followed Arianna, pretending as tho they didn’t know each other.Arianna arrived at the mansion and heaved a deep sigh of relief, she knocked on the gate gently and the gatekeeper opened up.“Madam, Good afternoon ma”“I’m sorry I took so long, I didn’t know it was you, I thought you had been in all this while”“Plea

    About two months later, Arianna was with Selene in the living room, “Silver assured me you’ve completed your training”“Even though I feel you should take more time I wouldn’t want us taking a huge risk either as it might be too late by then,” Selene said.“You shouldn’t worry yourself, I’m now as good as Silver” Arianna teased.“Remember all I told you and do not forget to bring me Alice’s heart” Selene teased.“You’ll be leaving as early as tomorrow”“I never knew your training would take months, but all is for the best,” Selene said.“I don’t think I would ever be able to repay you for what you have done for me,” Arianna remarked.“Why don’t you leave that and focus on getting the pack, only then we talk about that,” Selene said.“You mentioned something before I commenced the ritual and you haven’t said anything about it since then”“I didn’t want to be too forward by asking, it’s about the price I have to pay for the ritual” Arianna mentioned.“Why don’t you come to see me after

    “A price?”“I hope I’m not paying with someone else’s life,” Arianna said.“But we wouldn’t know what the price would be until the ritual is completed,” Selene said.“What if I can’t pay the price?” Arianna asked.“There’s no price that can’t be paid, I would give you time to go and think about it then get back to me” Selene responded.“I’m running out of time, what if I leave now and the potion loses its effectiveness before I make it back here” Arianna lamented.“The choice is yours” “Would you take the bold step or just await a miracle?” Selene inquired.“I’ll take the bold step, at this point I am so desperate”“I need to return to the pack before Alice soils my Father’s legacy she needs to be stopped as soon as possible,” Arianna said.“We shall commence right away, give me a moment,” Selene said and went into her room.“The moon goddess once again came to my rescue,” Arianna remarked.“It’s going to be a three-day ritual,” Selene said coming out of her room.“Will I be staying

    “I should have known he wasn’t any other different from Lucas” “I mustn’t let this get to me, all I have to do is fight back and take revenge and I will be starting from Alice”“Once again, I was betrayed,” Arianna said to herself as she roamed about in the shadows.“How could he sleep with Alice?”“I thought he was on my side, Alice didn’t even do much before she got him”“What a cheap man!”“I have to fight back before this potion loses its effect, I need to surprise the latest couples, Alice and Brian”“But how can I do that when I have no idea of what to do,” she said aloud as she sat next to a tree.Arianna began to reminisce on her whole life, from her past life to her present life and her present situation.she recollected how her Father always told her how much of a special child she was and how unique her abilities were, “And whenever I ask him why he believes I’m special, he would reply saying it was a prophecy and that he was told by a witch the night I was born”“I just

    Brian went back home and waited patiently until midnight when Arianna would come.Arianna appeared at the usual time and sat next to him, “I was at the mansion” he said.“How did it go?” Arianna inquired.“I don’t know how best to put it but Alice has committed a huge crime” Brian responded.“What has she done this time?” Arianna asked.“You remember the gatekeeper,”“I was about to enter the mansion when he advised me not to”“The summary of it all is Mother is nowhere to be found and Alice has the whole mansion to herself” Brian stated.“How is that possible?”“Where has she gone?” Arianna asked.“He mentioned how Alice maltreated her”“One of the instances he gave, she banned her from coming out of her room because she questioned her”“And one day she asked that she was locked up in a room without food nor water and even her drugs”“After three days, Mother was brought out as she ordered, he made her clean the whole mansion and turned her to one of the domestic workers”“Anytime sh
