Uncle Berth's POV"How was it?" I asked Rex as I entered his dimly lit room. I noticed that he was cleaning an object but paused when he saw me."It went well, nothing bad happened. Except that she fell unconscious again," He answered and I nodded. Now that was out of the picture, it was time to go to the next phase of my plan."What do you intend to do now that the girl is awake? Although I had made him leave for a few days," He said, staring at me.I went silent for a while then stared at the object in his hands,"That's the ritual knife?" I asked."It isn't. It's just one of the weapons gifted to me, what's the next plan now?" He asked as he walked towards the cupboard in the room and placed the knife inside.I stared at him for a while then started thinking.The next plan should be something that he doesn't predict. Maverick dear, let's see how you are going to escape this."In this plan you will be the one to take over it because I do not think I'll be able to manipulate more now
Brynlee's pov"You are right about that," I agreed as I found out the question was meaningless."Then why are you telling me all of these? I mean how did you know about it and why are you so concerned?"He smiled at me then shook his slightly, "You have too many questions. You have to focus more on yourself right now. Just take it as me helping you out and you should be watchful from now on," He advised as he got ready to leave the room but stopped."Ah, before I forget. You have to start meditating and exercising to get used to your new power. The more days you spend laying on the bed the more your body gets closer to its limits," He added then left the place. I sat there on the bed, dumbfounded.It seems I have a lot more troubles on my plates than I thought I had. What should I do now? Maverick isn't here and I am glad about that. Finally, I can be at peace from all the troubles and head splitting confusions."I should start getting used to this place. I just recover my memory and
Maverick's POVMost times I tend to forget about Brynlee's condition. The disappointment held each time by those eyes that once loved me, was truly heartbreaking.Each fucking time, I felt like my heart was torn into pieces. That was the exact feeling I was having when I saw her looking at me while reluctantly following me to the castle.I wondered when everything would be normal again. Although I wanted to feel her love once more, I was ready to wait for her.I drove the car silently till we got to the castle. The maids were excited and my little family was waiting for her outside, eagerly. I got down from the car and let her out. "Oh, I missed you!" Ellen exclaimed, tears brimming in her eyes."Brynlee..." My mother whispered, obviously excited yet heartbroken. I sighed seeing that Brynlee was most likely confused. I walked toward her and took her hands and I pointed to them." These are my family. She is my mother and she is my sister, Ellen. She is also your best friend."Brynlee
Maverick's POV"Who are you?" Brynlee said to little Elise who stood there dumbfounded."Seriously?" She asked. It seems things aren't going well."Mm… Elise this is Brynlee," I said to her but she shot me a weird look instead."Of course I know who she is. What happened to her? Why doesn't she remember anything? Uncle, don't tell me you did something mean to Aunt Lee!" She asked, pointing at my face.I laughed out loud at her words and pintch her cubby cheeks. I wonder if this wasn't the same person telling me that Brynlee was a ghost.For a while, I smiled genuinely. "Do not think that way. Geez… I am not like that," I said, smiling."She doesn't remember anything and I want you to help me make her try to remember something. Even if it's her favorite meal, please," I desperately said and she was shocked by it. Her lashes fluttered a bit and then she said."You should have told me this from the beginning and I would've known the right way to strike up a conversation with her. Uncle,
Cassy's pov"Why can't you just let me be? Let me out of this hell!" I yelled at the man. There was silence as he just smiled at me. That had always been his answer ever since I was kidnapped into this hellhole."Don't worry, I think your time here is up," he announced, walking toward me."I won't die here! Where is that motherfucker?" I cursed, afraid yet daring. I was getting desperate. I don't care if I die here. It's the same if I wasn't going to be let out. My eyes were fixed on the man with overflowing white hair. His aura makes him look ancient and frightening. I was sure he was the sorcerer who made the poison that Brynlee consumed. I felt cold running down my spine at the thought of what might happen to me this time around. I didn't want to end up like those people in the room I just escaped from. But then I don't want to be here either because that's also death for me. It's been a month I was kept hostage and I have escaped more than ten times but always end up in the sa
Brynlee's POV"How are you feeling now, Aunt lee?" The beautiful girl before me asked as she poured the hot tea on the mug that laid silently on my lap."I'm fine, dear. What did you say your name was again?" I asked, smiling. She stared at me for a while then smiled."My name is Elise, you can call me little Elise. I am Uncle's favorite niece," She proudly announced with her chest puffed out, grinning. "Oh, I see. Your Uncle must be a very good guy," I said and she nodded."Uncle is the best but he is always jealous of me," She said then tilted her head sideways."Jealous of you?" I asked, amused by her cute expression."Yes. Uncle is usually jealous because you love me the most!" She let out, grinning even wider. Was that the truth? I just wish I remember even a tiny little bit."You still don't remember Uncle, Aunt lee? Why did you forget about him? That's so mean of you," She pouted and surprisingly I had this strong urge to grab her cheeks and pinch it.What's wrong with me?"It
Brynlee's POV'I told you not to think too much!' Alveria's calm voice came In and strangely my head cooled just from those words she spoke.'Thank you, ' I genuinely said then went after the young girl who was already in the arms of a tall beautiful woman in black jacket and grey pants."How are you doing today?" The lady chuckled then stared at me with that same gaze. "Brynlee, how are you doing?" She asked, softly as she let go of the girl. I stared at her completely lost about what was going on.Does she know me too? I guess that explains why she called me by my name. I nodded at her words and didn't say much after that."You can join us at the table. There's enough space to sit," Loren said calmly and I nodded then took a seat. I made sure to sit far away from Maverick.'You have to appear natural. You don't have to show them too much weakness. Just from the look of things and how they welcome you, I think they are good people.' Alveria said to me. I nodded then picked the fill
Author's POVThe cracking sounds of crickets and croaks of frogs rang out in the silent night. Below the swaying leaves of giant trees was the beautiful woman, Brynlee."How much longer am I going to keep on moving?" She sighed helplessly as she looked around observing the silent and eerie trees. 'It wouldn't take long before you get to the place. It's a spacious land and two feets away from it is a hideous place where you can successfully complete the transformation,' Alveria replied."I'm so tired. I've been walking for an hour now. I am sure by now, Maverick might have noticed my absence," She muttered to herself as her feet stepped on the dry leaves on the floor. She listened to the silent sounds of insects in the background and the soft whispers of the wind."It's not going to be an easy one today," She muttered to herself but stopped abruptly when she heard a crack sound coming from her left hand side. 'Someone is here!' Her heart rate quickens as silent took over the forest n
