“Okay Mum,” Arianna said as she jumped out of the couch and made her way into the kitchen, she came back with a mug filled with water.“Here you go Mum,” Arianna said as she handed it over to Brianna, Brian looked at Brianna carefully as she had the mug in the direction of her mouth, he couldn’t wait for her to start letting the cat out of the bag.Brianna finished the water in the cup and took a deep breath “Sorry Mum, you care for another cup?” Arianna asked.“No Ari, I’m okay” Brianna replied smiling.Arianna carried the mug to the kitchen gently while Brianna relaxed her back on the couch “Sorry Mum” Brian said as he looked at her, Brianna stared in return before responding making Brian feel as tho she suspected something was going on between him and Arianna before her arrival, Brian couldn’t withstand the look, he hurriedly looked in the direction of the screen, “Thank you Brian” Brianna replied slowly. Arianna came out of the kitchen smiling, “I hope you’re not too tired” she as
“Yes, we should Mum, Brian is dying of curiosity,” Arianna said.“Do you think he would still be breathing by the time we arrive downstairs?” Brianna joked.“No Mum” Arianna whispered.Both Arianna and Brianna burst into laughter afterward as they both got out of bed.They both made their way to the door when Arianna suddenly stopped by in front of the mirror to check herself out.“I’m so beautiful Mum,” she said as she jumped up.“Yes, you are” Brianna replied.Arianna couldn’t stop smiling in front of the mirror, she winked at the mirror at the same time.“I knew it!” Brianna said after staring at Arianna for a while.“What Mum?” Arianna asked facing Brianna.“There’s a reason behind your sudden cheerfulness” Brianna commented.“What makes you think so Mum?” Arianna asked wearing a frown.“I know you too well Ari, anyways do you care to tell me what it is?” Brianna replied.“I told you earlier Mum! It’s nothing, can’t a baby girl be happy for no reason?” Arianna said with her hands
Brianna spoke, “After I walked up to her just to satisfy my curiosity, I stood at her front to challenge her as to what she was doing there, but she just ignored me as if no one was right in front of her, I raised my voice as I soon got angry, only for her to walk out in front of me and she walked up to another customer”.“She did all that!” Arianna cuts in.“Yes she did all that and more” Brianna replied.“You haven’t allowed Mother to reply to my question Ari” Brian cried out.Arianna frowned at him the moment he stopped talking “I’m sorry” he said.“I didn’t mean to interrupt, I was only surprised!” Arianna said.“Back to your question Brian, I assumed the person in question was her lookalike as the maid I know wouldn’t behave irrationally towards me after all I’ve done nothing to deserve that from her” “I walked up to another waitress to place my order, I was done placing my order and I waited patiently for it to be packed, to my greatest surprise I heard a customer who had lunch
“I’ve been thinking of that too,” Brianna said. “So you’d be going later today?” Arianna inquired. “I think tomorrow would be better,” Brianna said. “Sunday? I don’t think our Doctor would be on seat tomorrow” Arianna remarked. “If he isn’t, I’d call him to schedule an appointment” Brianna replied. “Why not just go today Mum?” Arianna asked. “I’m too tired to do so Ari! Do not bother me,” Brianna said with a funny face. “But you just finished resting Mum!” Arianna yelled. “That doesn’t imply I put myself through another stress again” Brianna replied snappishly. “I think I know what to do, I’d invite the Doctor right away,” Arianna said “That won’t be necessary Ari “It would, I can’t believe I forgot you haven’t been doing your medical checkups regularly, I can’t afford you being sick at this point. “That still doesn’t insinuate you call the Doctor impromptu, he might have plans for the day already and you know Doctor Henry wouldn’t want to say no” Brianna explained. “That
“No….” Joyce stuttered as she tried to convince Arianna she wasn’t trying to escape. “You’ve got only two minutes before I hand you over to the guards for the treatment you deserve! You traitor” Arianna screamed, she had expected Brianna and Brian upstairs already, “weren’t they hearing her scream!?”. Joyce pleaded Arianna didn’t hand her over to the guards as that would be real torture “I’ve told the truth and I’m still telling the truth Your Highness, please have mercy on me” the maid cried out. “I’ve always known you had bad intentions, your looks say it all, that justifies why I never liked you from the onset” Arianna spat. Joyce wailed throwing herself on the floor. “All this does not affect me! That I can tell you” Arianna said hitting her chest. “I wasn’t sent by no one nor am I on a mission” Joyce stammered. “I’m certain you have a fiendish plot, I sense the evil in your mind,” Arianna said as she shone her eyes. “This is all a misunderstanding” Joyce yelled. “Now you
“Where to?” Arianna questioned.“I need to visit the comfort room” Brian replied.“I assumed you were on your way to Jenna’s new place of work,” Brianna said.“I’d head there later today,” Brian said.“Isn’t that too early?” Brianna asked.“I don’t think it is Mum, we need answers to everything that’s happening soon, only then can we come up with a solution,” Arianna said.“There’s just too much going on,” Brian said as she walked into his room.Brianna and Arianna continued discussing what had just happened, she recalled she hadn’t picked up the snacks Brianna got from the car.“I can’t believe I forgot about the snacks!” Arianna said to Brianna as she jumped out of the couch.“You said your car key is inside your bag right?” Arianna said.“Yes, and I think you should get it yourself,” Brianna said.“I was about to do just that,” Arianna said as she walked upstairs.Arianna ascended the stairs, she couldn’t stop thinking about all that had just happened and for a moment it felt as th
“Hi Doctor Henry I guess you know who’s on the line already,” Arianna said as soon as Doctor Henry picked up the call.“No, I don’t” Doctor Henry replied.“Woah”“It’s Arianna” Arianna remarked.“Arianna? I don’t think I know anyone by that name” Doctor Henry said.“Luna!” Arianna said she was getting agitated.“Oh! I didn’t have your contact saved any longer” Doctor Henry stated.“He doesn’t have my contact saved any longer?” Arianna asked herself and pondered on the statement for a few seconds.“Hello....” Doctor Henry said as he was no longer getting any response.“I’m still here” Arianna replied slowly.“How may I help now that I’m aware it’s you on the line?” He asked.“Mother hasn’t been getting her checkups done for a long time, I thought it would be wise if she could get one done today” Arianna explained.“Okay,” he replied.“Just okay?” Arianna said to her inner wolf.“I presume you know what next to do,” Arianna said as she smiled.“No, I don’t”“A little enlightenment would
Arianna and Brianna remained in the car as Brian went in to have a word or two with Jenna, he walked into the restaurant slowly and was ushered in by one of the waiters, as he approached a seat, his eyes were focused on the waitress’s stand to spot Jenna.He sat very close to the waitress’s seat, Jenna was nowhere to be found there, so he didn’t hesitate to look around for her.After a few seconds, A waiter walked up to him “Dear sir, you’re welcome to our restaurant, what would you like to have?” he asked.Brian didn’t hesitate to reply as he had no intention of eating “I’ll let you know when I’m willing to place my order” he said.“Alright sir, please do not hesitate to signify when you’re ready,” the waiter said.“I’d be sure to do just that” Brian replied.After about five minutes of looking around for Jenna, she still was nowhere to be found.“Maybe Mother was mistaken,” Brian said to himself.He decided to wait for a few more minutes to see if Jenna would surface, Another waiter
“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
