Brian looked into Brianna’s eyeball and gave a weird laugh, he returned his phone to his pocket afterward.Brianna looked into his eyeball in return and gave a weird laughter also.“Is she suspecting me?” He asked himself.“I doubt that” he mumbled adjusting himself on the couch.“Could you get one of the guards for me?” Brianna asked.“Yes ma’am” he replied standing up.On his way out to do as Brianna had instructed, “Am I about to get locked up?” He asked himself aloud.He got to the front of the mansion and signaled to a guard to come running, the guard got to where he stood and bowed.“Mother needs your attention,” Brian said and turned to head back inside subsequently, the guard followed Brian with his head still bowed.They both arrived at the living room, Brian made his way back to the couch he was seated on before Brianna sent him on an errand while the guard stood beside Brianna with his head bowed.“What about Joyce? Has she said anything yet?” Arianna asked the guard.Brian
Brianna spotted Joyce sitting at one corner of the room dressed beautifully as tho she’s a bride awaiting the groom.“Isn’t that Joyce?” Brianna asked looking confused.“It’s her!” Brian said pointing at Joyce.Joyce stood from where she sat and stared at everyone one after the other, it seemed she was contemplating the next step she ought to take.“I thought I ordered that she was tortured until she confesses?!” Brianna screamed looking straight into Joyce’s eyeballs.“Why is she glam up? Is she planning to escape?” Brian said aloud.“Claw!”“Can you explain what’s going on here?” Brianna yelled holding tightly her fists.“You had better start talking right away!” Brian added.Claw who was fidgety sat on the floor with his head bowed, his lips couldn’t stop trembling.“Do not let me repeat myself!” Brianna said looking at Claw.“It wasn’t my idea” Claw stuttered while saying.“Who’s idea was it?” Brian inquired.“I think I know, it’s Lucas’s and Alice’s” Brianna declared.“You sound
“You know for once I thought it was them until Brian in his words said I was beginning to think like you,” Brianna remarked as she coughed.“That was rude of him to say” “You were stating facts after all” Arianna said wearing a frown.“We shouldn’t talk while eating, we would continue from where we stop when we’re done eating,” Brianna said smiling.“You and your rules!” Arianna muttered.Arianna and Brianna started to eat in silence, Brian walked in a few minutes later.“I have them locked up!” He said while entering the house, he walked towards the living room to have dinner with Brianna as planned, he was close to the living room when he sighted Arianna.“Ari” he chuckled.Arianna started at him giving him a straight face.“I didn’t expect to see you here, I thought you had gone to bed” he spoke haltingly.“Well, as you can see I’m here now, have a problem with that?” Arianna responded.“Oh no, I was only surprised,” Brian said and proceeded to have a seat and he did that next to
“Sorry, I didn’t get that,” Brian said after a brief moment of silence.“And it took you that long say?” Arianna protested.“I was trying to process it” Brian stated.“But you just said you didn’t get what I had just said,” said Arianna.“I me....an I was try....ing to process if I heard what you had just said” Brian stuttered.“You know what? Never mind!” Arianna said rubbing her hands on her air.“Goodnight!” She added as she made her way into Brianna’s room.Brian remained on the spot confused, “Does she know something?”“Is she tryna play mind games?” He mumbled.I shouldn’t act as tho I’m shocked, she mustn’t remain suspicious “Goodnight Ari!” He screamed.Arianna ignored him as she continued walking away “I was dumb to think he would tell the truth” Arianna told Primal.“Do you know something I don’t?” Primal asked.“I should leave you to figure that out” she responded flipping her hair.Getting to Brianna’s room’s door, she opened the door and went in.“Wasn’t expecting you any
While in the shower, he thought of several ways he could be a step ahead of Jenna.“I need to be on my best behavior when we meet, I wouldn’t want her suspecting I have plans just in case,” he said to himself.A few minutes later, he was done showering, he proceeded to pick a towel hung at one side of the toilet which he drained himself with.Singing, he came out of the toilet “I should start packing immediately after I meet with Jenna” he said aloud walking towards the mirror.“You’ve got all under control” he reaffirmed closing his eyes.He reached out for an outfit from his wardrobe, it was a checkered shirt with biker shorts “I’d feel so comfortable in this” he thought, he hurriedly put on his clothes and walked up to the mirror again.“I wonder why Jenna wants us to meet this early,” he said while combing his hair, having done that he picked up his phone on the bed.“I’m set!” He sent it to Jenna on WhatsApp, he noticed his message hadn’t been delivered yet to her.“She could sti
"I'm closer than you think oh how I have missed this place" Brian read aloud not minding the fact that Arianna had seen the message same time as he did."She had the gut to send that!?" Arianna said in a high tone."Lower your voice, Ari,” Brian said demonstrating. “She mustn’t suspect I’m discussing her with you, to her it’s more like a friendly visitation” he added.Arianna gave no response as she stared at him cunningly, looking elsewhere after a few seconds.Arianna had gotten so pissed at that point that she went straight back to cooking wearing a frown, she ignited the gas cooker angrily and served the already burnt plantain into a bowl."Brian gets to eat this as his punishment, it was his fault after all he shouldn’t have frightened me in the first place,” she said to Primal angrily staring at the served burnt plantain. "Don't you think you are taking this a little too far?” primal asked.“Oh please! Do not even try to patronize me, I see you’re now on his side” Arianna said
“How am I supposed to know?” Arianna replied a few seconds later.“Do you think I should open the door just like that?” Brian asked breathing heavily.“I should go upstairs, you mentioned earlier she might not be convenient with my presence,” Arianna said wearing her flip-flop.“I’d be in my mummy’s room,” she said walking out of the living room.“You’re just going to leave me to all of this?” Brian asked in a low tone.“Your words not mine” Arianna replied ascending the stairs.“I probably should be armed,” Brian said to himself, he was on his way to his room when the door was knocked aggressively nonstop.“Hold on!” He shouted as he could no longer go into his room, he walked towards the door slowly “I would start by asking how well she knows Joyce and if they had been keeping up lately” he thought.“No, that would be too direct leaving room for suspicion” he concluded.He got to the door and placed his hand gently on it, “Who is it?” He asked placing his ears on the door.“From the
“If we’re chanced,” Arianna said.Brian was quiet until they both got to the living room, “Do you think we should get a replacement for Claw before I move out?” he asked.“No” Arianna responded slowly staring at the television.“I understand you have your fears but the replacement would be a trusted one,” Brian said.“No, thanks” Arianna stated.“Care for popcorn?” She asked as she stood up.“No I’m fine” Brian responded.Arianna left for the kitchen and came out not long after with a bowl of popcorn, she sat close to the television and started to munch as she stared at the television with so much interest.Brian also was staring at the television but not with all his attention, he couldn’t stop thinking of Jenna and where in the mansion she could be, he picked up his phone from his pocket after a while and sent her a text saying “I’m still waiting for Jenna” that made it the eleventh message he would send to Jenna within the space of two hours without getting any response.“I’m sorry
“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
