Everywhere is so sunny and bright, I stepped away from the shield then all of a sudden, everywhere is cloudy, I guess am aren't the sun's favorite, I tried to walk back to the shield before the clouds starts weeping but I was unfortunate again. The cloud releases its tears on me but something felt strange. I stared down at my soaked self but instead of a colorless, odorless and tasteless liquid, I saw red. It was raining blood.I woke up drenched in sweat, I checked my alarm clock and it showed me that it is still two in the morning. I rubbed my eyes as I my mind went back to that dream. Blood? It was raining blood instead of rain? In the world of witches, it means something big is about to happen and when I say big, I don't mean the good big. I mean that something very bad is about to happen. Back in the coven, it actually rains blood like literally. Whenever it rains blood in the coven, witches of the high places get tRelated chapters

3 years agoI stared at her beautiful body as she changed into her dress. Most ladies would have been ashamed of her body but not this one standing before me."You've been staring at me for some time, should I be worried?"I removed the duvet covering the lower part of my body and my hard erection sprang out. "The only thing you should be worried about is this cock finding its way into your pussy"She laughed at me "are you always this crude?""Why are hiding your name from me?"She turned so I can help her zip up her gown but I pulled her into the bed with me. "Just your first name please"She kissed me on the nose "you know the rule, no name. And why are you so keen on finding out my name? It's not as if you are going to see me again"Yeah... one her annoying rules. No name, no second meeting just a one night stand, no dropping me

GabrielThis is the second time am visiting a hospital in a month. Imagine having lunch with your secretary and she starts bleeding through the nose, she excuses herself to go use the rest room only for you to find her on the floor in the toilet bleeding not through her nose but through a gash on her head.A soft mourn brought back my attention to the woman lying on the bed. She opened her eyes and those wide innocent eyes stared back at me."Thank you for deciding to join us again Persefoni"She smiled and tried to sit up but I stopped her. "Why don't you relax while I call the doctor?" I pressed the button and a nurse walked in few minutes later."She's awake; I think she should be examined by the doctor"The dark nurse nodded in agreement before she retreated to call the doctor.The doctor walked in together with the nurse."How are you doing Miss Persefoni? You seem to be visiting us regularly"
Refrainment Chapter 9
PersefoniI may not know who is after me. The ancestors? I've not betrayed anyone so they have the wrong person if the message is actually from them but that's not what is bothering me now. What is bothering me is that Gabriel offered that I stay with him, and the fact that I like the idea is really bothering me. I can't get attached to him, I can't even develop feelings for him because feelings make you do stupid things and stupid things lead to death. I can tell him to go ahead and get the cops involved, at the end of the day I'll just send them into a goose chase.I stood up from the bed and walked towards the window. The weather looks fair and bright which is a good sign to any normal human being but as a witch, we read the cloud, we look beyond bright weather and this one above me, this one that am currently staring at isn't good at all. Something bad is about to happen. I may not be able to pin point the exact thing about to happen, because I wasn't a

Three years ago2 weeks later"I found her!!!!!!" Gabriella shrieked, disturbing the peace of all those working close to my office."Gabriella... Keep your voice down, you are in an office environment for Christ sake"She covered her mouth with her hand and quietly sat down on the empty chair close to my desk. I stood up and closed the door to my office, I do not want my parents to accidentally hear me discussing about a girl and also how to stop her from getting married to Richard."What do you have for me?" I asked her as I took a seat closest to hers. She brought out a big brown envelope and dropped it on my desk."I have everything you need to know about Susan Blaire" with the way she answered, I can see that she is feeling very proud of herself.I tried to pick up the envelope but she slapped my hand. "You aren't taking that until you tell me what you have in stock for Richard"

Ten years agoI looked out through the window and watched them prepare for the big day. All streets were decorated, loud music filled the surroundings. I watched happy young ladies and men talking in groups, their faces portraying how happy they are and how they are looking forward to the great occasion.Today, all adult witches are being inaugurated into the witches family. Those who want to serve the Oracle begin that journey today. All those who are from twenty years upwards are going to be recognized as full grown witches in the coven."What are you doing there Persefoni? Shouldn't you be out there working with your mates?"I know that voice, I've grown to hate that voice. "I came up here to get some ribbons for decoration""I don't see you selecting ribbons, all I see is your lazy self looking out the window wishing for something that can never be yours"I maybe cursed from birth, but that doesn't mea

GabrielI came back that night to a quiet apartment, I walked to the kitchen to take a cup of water and I met Jennifer packing away some left overs into the refrigerator. She startled when she saw me nearly dropping the plate she was carrying."I didn't hear you come in sir" she rambled with a hand placed on her chest.I opened the fridge and took what I came for "you should pay closer attention to your environment""I'm sorry sir"I ignored her apology "where is Persefoni?""I think she's in her room" she replied nonchalantly, still packing away some leftoversPersefoni is not comfortable with her, and I will not allow her to make Persefoni more uncomfortable with her attitude. "What do you mean by you think? Haven't you been with her in this house since?" I closed in on her, my height towering over her "if you want to keep your job, you'll have to drop this fucking attitude"She

Three years agoIt took me more than two hours to get Gabriella to my house thanks to her constant request to throw up. I dumped her on the bed. Removing her shoes and clothes, I left her in just her under wears. I also dropped an empty bucket on the floor just In case she wants to throw up. I don't want her messing up my floor. Making sure that she's comfortable to an extent, I closed the door. Picking up my car key, I drove back to the club with just one intention which is to see Susan and if possible bring her back home with me.I arrived at the club faster than I did when I was taking Gabriella home. I tipped the bouncer and walked into the club. Looking at the exact pole where I saw my Susan shaking her assets, I found it empty.Grabbing one of the feather girls walking around, I dragged her closer to me so she can hear me amidst the music."I need a VIP booth"She eyed me seductively and indicated that I follow her.

PersefoniI told Gabriel that I will meet him at home, but he refused to leave me alone with a stranger_ his words not mine_ I told him that Logan is an old friend but he still refused to leave me alone with him. I know he has questions for me, just last night I told him that I don't know anybody by the name Logan and today, I'm telling him that the same Logan I claimed not to know is now an old time friend.At the end of the argument between Gabriel and I, he agreed to give us ten minutes while he waits in the car. He told me that the attacker could be anywhere, so he is not taking any chances just because I met an old friend."What is he? Your bodyguard?" Logan asked a little surprised that I have to get his approval before talking to him."He's my boss Logan""Your boss?" Releasing a short laughter, he directed his glare towards Gabriel's car "I didn't know you need to get the approval of your boss before talking to

Persefoni Five months laterEverything seem to be going perfectly fine. The baby is growing healthily, Sophia is more welcoming towards me and Logan finally moved the witches to New York… and of course, the daughter’s of Morgana refused to leave with him.Oh! The most important news! How could I have forgotten that?I’m getting married next month.You damn heard me right! Gabe asked me to be his wife last month, and I said yes. Come next month, I’m going to be officially Mrs. Washington.Okay! So today is my last fitting and I’m so excited.My phone and I took my eyes away from the road to search for my phone. When I saw Gabby’s name, I knew why she’s ringing me. “Gabby? I swear, I’m almost there. You’ll see me in five.”“You better hurry Persefoni,” she warned “your wedding planner is gradually getting upset, and I can’t stall her any longer.”“Tell her to give me five minutes, I swear it, I’ll be there.” I increased my speed. “Offer to buy her coffee…or maybe” The call was interrup

GabrielThere is a moment in everyone’s life we have to die. Death is something inevitable in the life of anything that eats, breath and reproduces. The most important thing that matters is the legacy we leave, the love we showered on people during our lifetime. These are what matters, necessary things that we have to do before we meet our end, so we’ll be missed, missed and remembered by many. I watched the priest with aloofness. This day reminds me of the day I buried Susan, and it’s not a memory that I want to remember right now. Sophia cried ugly tears beside me, while Gabby and Claire tried their best to console her. You heard me, Claire; somehow mom managed to invite her for the funeral despite my warnings. I felt someone’s hand grab mine. I stared at the ring unclad finger. She squeezed lightly, offering me comfort that I’ve decided not to agree that I need. Yes, he’s my father, but I haven’t been in a good relationship for many years, I only tried to fix things recently and

PersefoniFor a moment, I thought Canine was going to ignore what she saw earlier. I told her indirectly that I do not want to discuss the baby in the presence of these people, but she just had to ruin everything for me; now Gabe is never going to let me go.“Persefoni?” Gabe growled. “Say something.”Blinking rapidly, I tried not to glare at Canine. It will not only be rude to glare at a descendant of Morgana , it will be outright disastrous. “Can we do this later? In the absence of extra pairs of eyes.”He didn’t like it, not one bit but he let it go, for now. Grateful for his understanding, I focused on Canine. “What do you mean this prophecy isn’t about me but my child?” They exchanged glances, communicating silently. “Say something!” I snapped and Logan quickly grabbed my hand reminding me of my place.Sucking in deep breath, I willed myself to calm down. “I’m sorry for snapping at you, just that the tension and silence is killing me.”Gabe stared at Logan’s hand which is still h

Gabriel I do not know how to prepare while visiting witches coven, but I did pack a suitcase. Persefoni watched me as I grabbed my power bank along with my phone.“What are you doing with that?” Persefoni asked, her lips stretched with a smile. “You honestly think you’re going to need that?”I stared at the two objects in my hand, confused at which object is the topic of discussion. “I’m a business man Persefoni, I need my phone with me at all time.” I looked at her hand. “Where is your suitcase?”“Outside.” She returned around and walked towards the entrance door. “I was talking about the power bank, you won’t need it over there.”Dominic opened the car trunk and placed our bag in. “Why won’t I need it? I didn’t know witches have steady.” I teased. Her deep laughter vibrated throughout the car which made me smile. I miss this moment, moments that I make her smile.“When I said you don’t need the power bank, I didn’t say that because there will steady light supply, I said that becaus

Persefoni This is insane. I know I shouldn’t carry on with this, but I can’t bear to disappoint Gabby. I would have carried on with this if Caro didn’t give me the best news of my life.I’m pregnant. I’m carrying an evidence of the love Gabe and I shared.Placing my hand on my stomach, I thought of how best to break the news to Gabby. She will surely to disappointed. I will too, if someone gave me such good hope, not to shatter it, I will be disappointed too.According to Caro, there is no way I’ll do this without harming myself and the baby, she went further to explain that maybe the prophecy wasn’t for me, but for my baby. Nevertheless, there is only one way to find out. I’ll have to pay the daughters of Morgana a visit, either today or tomorrow.Gabriel will be ecstatic about this baby, but I don’t know if I want to share this moment with him. I don’t even know if I can trust him again, especially when that bitch is still roaming round bf street of New York. Gabriel hurt me…he lit

GabrielEverything sounds so crazy and surreal to me. Persefoni knows how much I love her, how much I need her, yet she's ready to sacrifice her life for a man who is paying for his sins. Rubbing my neck stiffly, I tried to get rid of the sudden ache but to no avail. Logan noticing just how hard this news is for me, he refilled my glass. "You are the only one who can talk her out of this Washington. She obviously doesn't listen to me anymore." I chuckled at his statement. "It's true." he argued. "I've been telling her to visit the daughters of Morgana since thy kingdom come, but she's yet to pay them a visit."Daughters of Morgana are bad news, Persefoni educated me on that. The only reason why she has to visit the daughters of Morgana is when she takes something she isn't suppose to consume. "Why did you insist on her paying them a visit?" a thought occurred to me. "Did she drink coffee?" Surely she cannot be that sucidial. He rolled his eyes at my question. "Persefoni hates coffe

GabrielPersefoni has been troubled lately, and the fact the she has refused to tell me what's going on is really frustrating me. I watched her as she interacted with Gabby next to my father which only heightened my suspicion. Once upon a time, they weren't on talking terms, but it seems as if ever since I told Gabby about Persefoni's decision to heal our father, their friendship blossomed again. In conclusion, I don't think the idea of healing father is solely her decision, it seems someone else has been whispering to her. The door opened and my mum walked in with Claire, carrying a basket of fruit. I do not understand the reason why she's still hanging around. Yes, she apologized and I told her I'm over whatever happened in the past. Shouldn't she return to wherever she crawled out from? I glared at mum. What does she take me for? A fool? I totally understand the game she is playing, but if she pushes it too far, I'll be forced to take a decision that she won't like at all. "Ho

PersefoniGabriel is getting worse. He's hardly at home, and the few hours that he decides to be at home, he's always on his phone. I've grown to ignore him, mostly because my new boss is killing me with extra work load. You heard me right. Gabriel finally bought Mr. Puna's company and Liam returned to his father company. According to him, his grandfather's company was on the verge of sinking anyways. He believes that there was nothing he would have done that will save it, but I think that's his own way of brushing up his ego. If that company was redemption, Gabriel wouldn't buy it for anything. I stared at the wall clock and considered calling Gabe. He's usually late, but never this late. The distant voice of Gabby took my mind off calling him for few minutes. Her footstep drew closer and closer until she appeared by the doorway. "I came to pick some clothes for Gabriel, he won't be coming home tonight."Panic freezed my blood. "Is everything okay? Why isn't he coming home tonight

PersefoniI'm bleeding yet again. This time, I think I'm bleeding because of the stress. Gabby thinks I can heal her father of cancer. In all honesty, I wish I can, but I can't, the least I could do is to give him more time, slow the cancer growth and give him time to make peace with his family but Gabby has refused to believe me. She thinks I'm being stingy with my power. She thinks I do not want to heal him because of what he did to Gabriel, due to the fact, I'm her least favorite person. She doesn't take my calls and hardly says two words to me whenever she brings Vicky over to the house. Even Gabriel has noticed the tension between us and has questioned me few times on what was going on between Gabby and I, but I assured him that everything is absolutely fine. Don't get me started on Logan, he disappeared from the face of the earth after our last meeting. I wasn't expecting much from him, but the least he could do was to call me after dropping such silly news to me. Imagine al
