"I'm....my name is Steve," he began."Oh, I see... who doesn't know Steve? I do... you the commander of the king's army!" replied the Witch."Yes, that's right...may I know your name?""I'm Sandra!" she glanced at him and smiled. Next, she held on to the handle of the mob stick. She resumed mobbing the floor."Wow! Sandra is such a beautiful name... How long have you been here?" Steve asked.Sandra appeared to be surprised by his odd question."How long I have been? Is that what you are asking me?""Yes," he affirmed. "Oh, come on.... not long ago...I thought you were at the banquet when the king permitted my mistress to inhabit the castle!"Steve grabbed hold of his hair as if he has been disoriented and was trying to put himself in order again."Pardon my negligence..." he smiled at her and continued, "I was wondering if you could make out some time for me, I would like to know you more!"I knew what was coming next. I just hope, my stepbrother Steve will have the gut to let his emo
"Sandra, this is Louis, my half-sister and the one you have spoken of," began Steve. "And Miss beautiful, (as he was fond of calling me) this is my friend Sandra. I just met and I'm begging her to go on a date with me," he said."Oh, that's great...what's keeping the two of you then, from going out to have some fun?" I smiled at Sandra as I spoke."We are from different worlds mistress, I can't go out with him," said Sandra.I was surprised that Sandra addressed me as a mistress. I never liked that title, I always wanted to be addressed as Louis. And I'm always satisfied by hearing people address me by my simple name. That was what I had to tell Sandra."You can call me by my name," I smiled at her because Sandra appeared to be confused. "Don't worry Sandra, I said it, go ahead and call me by my name. I have nothing against you.""Alright ma'am!" she said. She quickly remembered that I told her to always call me by my name and not a mistress or any other bossy name.... names that will
Through the forest of Dengek I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. Screaming all the way.“Help! Help! Please some body help!” I turned back and saw they were almost closing in, on me. What will I do now? There is no hope and I might as well be at the end of my struggle to survive. “Surrender witch! Nobody is going to save you now. Take a look! You are outnumbered. There is very little you can do now. Hahahaha!” Came the voice of the huge tall one who is their leader. He is Bradly and we know him as the orphaned boy. A nicknamed he was given from childhood before, he disappeared from Muldoch long time ago, only to return home a different person. He had come back with people who share similar interest with him and also, he had incited the inhabitants of the city to wedge a holy war on the witches. Unfortunately, I was one of the victims. Many of my people have been burned alive while, the remaining ones cannot be accounted for. “You escaped before but surely this time, you will
“Help! Help!’’ I screamed to remind them of my imminent condition.The one in the middle among the three men ran towards me with a super human strength. He unbundled me within seconds much to the dismay of the mob and their leader. How he managed to untie in a short limited amount of time remains baffling.He carried me in his strong arms away from the flame.“Don’t be scared. You will be fine. This is my home and nobody dares to mess around with me here,’’ he told me.Only then did I saw his huge biceps and his sexy- hairy chest. So tempting to touch.“His head is mine!’’ Shouted the mob’s leader. “How dare you intrude in my business? I will teach a lesson that you will never forget! Get his head!’’At once the mob charged with rage towards our direction at the command of their leader to kills us.“You are making a mistake you will regret.’’ He quickly dodged successfully, the first set of persons that advanced to attack, whilst carrying me in his arms.As I watched the other two men
“Stop right there!” One of the tall, dark figures commanded.I stood like a frozen fish, unable to decide for myself. Should I obey him or the alpha wolf that had I instructed me to move forward?“What took you so long Eric and Drek?’’ The alpha asked. “Doing our job of course!’’ the one I suspected to be Eric answered.“Oh I see Eric. Did you finish what you started?’’“Yes we did,’’ Drek steps in.“And their leader?’’Eric begins to walk even closer to me, “he swore never to cross our path again. He ran like a coward.”“I guess that means you spared his life?’’ said the alpha.Drek like Eric, begins to come closer to me. “What’s the need of killing the coward when we got what we sought? We killed many of them before he surrendered and I’m sure it’s going to be a long time before we meet again.’’“We got the witch that’s what matters. Now, you can claim what is rightfully yours,’’ Eric added.I wondered what I have got to do with all they were saying. Could it be they are echoing w
“You mean, Deborah could have mistaken you for another person?’’ Asked Ammon as he walks closer to me. He seized my hand and grabbed my hair just like Drek had done earlier. “Listen bitch, Deborah can never lie and will never deceive us. Your name is Louis. The daughter of Mahandra the great mistress of the witches. Margarita is your only mother’s extant sister. She betrayed your mother and let the vampires kill her in one of their bloody clashes, years ago.” He spread one of his palms across my face, totally insensitive to the torment he is putting me through.I responded only when he eased his grip on me, “Margarita also told you that? How can I believe all you have said?’’“Yes witch, she did. That was how we found you. It’s either you do as we say and come with us to prepare the ritual that will break the spell or you perish right here in the middle of the forest. The choice is yours, Louis.”We arrived at a small cottage deep in the forest and far from any human contact. I was he
The wolves were caught unaware by my demand that they should leave me and the Alpha alone in the house if, the spell-breaking ritual must work. They both looked at each other except Ammon whom I guess, was keen to see me do my job rather than showing any interest in the demand I had made."Now tell me one thing why we should leave witch?" Derek began walking closer to me. His eyes were filled with rage as he inches closer. Only he knew what he had in mind at that moment. He held me by the neck, "tell me why we should leave?"For the first time, Eric appears to come to my aid. "“Easy on her! Slow down brother," he told Derek. “Let's us get the clear message she is trying to deliver," now turning to me, he continued, "Are you saying we are unworthy to witness the ritual procession, is that what you mean by ‘we should step outside?”“The words never came out from my mouth but yours. The sooner you adhere to the instruction the quicker we go with the spell-breaking ritual.”I could tell
“Oh no! Look at what you have done now! How could you, after all the warning I gave to you?”I knew what was coming at once and I quickly acted like I was the victim to reduce any possibility of him laying his hands on me with his rage.Like magic, it seems like my trick on him worked. He refrained from raising his voice at me or doing something stupid. "I'm sorry about that Louis. Believe me, I had opened my eyes to remind you about one of the essential parts of the ritual which was missing,” said the Alpha.“There is no point in apologizing because you have ruined the ritual.” we broke the body contact we had through our hands. I watched his face change from moderate to complete sadness. “I only opened my eyes to remind you that no blood was spilled. Practically speaking your blood. It is needed for the ritual according to what Deborah had told us.“That doesn't change anything right now! You ruined it," I insisted.“If this curse of mine can't be broken tonight, then you will not
