Alora brushed her hair backward in frustration. She sat down on the couch. Ella couldn't help but pace around. She was still in shock. She was shocked that Ariana could think of going to Alaska with the twins. What was she even thinking?. Doesn't she know the risk?. Alaska isn't a place for the weak. She groaned. They are still kids. How will they pass the riddles?. How will... "Don't you think we should go after them?" Alora asked, jolting Ella out of her thought
Ella groaned. "We can't"Alora sighed. She was as concerned as Ella was. She hissed. Why didn't she noticed this might be their plan?. Why didn't she noticed Alaska was their destination?. She had noticed their attitudes when she came out from the kitchen with their tea, yesterday. They had stopped talking when they saw her. Though she knew they were up to something, she never thought it would be to travel to Alaska. She sighed. "What should we do?"Ella sat down. "There is nothing we can do for now. We willThere was silence in the car, with everyone lost in their thought. What danger awaits them? they don't know. How big or disastrous the danger will be, is hidden from them. If they will survive the danger or not, that also they know nothing about. They couldn't stare at each other's faces. "Ari?. Ariana" a voice called. They shivered. Who could have called Ariana amid nowhere?. Does she know someone here and did not tell them?. Ariana was afraid too. She was sure she doesn't know anyone here. Maybe that's the sign of the danger that awaits them. She feels the very moment she answers, they might be doomed. "Ariana?" The voice called again. This time, it was louder. They exchanged glances. "Ari, it's Mira. I just want to know if you're safe"Ariana batted her lashes. It can't be Mira, right?. She doubted it could be. But the voice, it seems she knows the voice. The voice is beginning to sound more familiar. It was the voice she had grew up to love. The voice she had spent most of
The rest stared in shock at Ariana. She can't be serious right?. This lady or rather woman standing right in front of them, can't be Rose. What exactly is she doing here?. To kill them or to take them captive?. They couldn't communicate with each other, through their mind-links for fear that she might be able to read them. Of course, she can. For a great witch like her, who had not only succeeded in putting fear in others but is also the black witch of the Ivory Coast. A rear title that's only given to the best witch in Earth witches coven.Their thoughts were cut short when the woman spoke up. "Good you remembered me, Ariana. You were a toddler when I last saw you"Ariana scoffed. She isn't in for Rose's talk. She just wanted to know why she had come here. To kill them or to take them captive?. "Cut the scrap. What are you doing here?"Rose hissed. "Rude just like her mother" she muttered. "Did you run away from home like you always do?"Ariana scoffed. "That is
THE RED-HAIRED WITCHES COVENThe door to the inner chamber of the white witch opened slowly and two little kids peeped into the room. "Not again, Kira and Kiran!!" A woman in her early forty shouted from the inner chamber. The little children ran off giggling as usual. It had been their routine to peep at her. They had always admired her beautiful white hair. Although she wasn't a member of the red-haired witches and was found half-dead some years ago. Every member of the coven loved and cherished her. Not just because she was beautiful, but because she was a kind-hearted woman and has helped make the coven stronger and safe from the hand of Rose.She dropped her knitting bag and stood up from the bed. It's been so many years since she was saved and brought to the red-haired witches' coven. She had been treated well with love. If not for her hair color which had made her different from them, it was difficult to know she wasn't a member. She touched the flowers arranged nea
THE HUMAN REALMIt's been two days since the twins and Jamal left the house. It was just like yesterday when he had watched them through the window, tiptoe into the car. He didn't stop them that day because he believed they made the right choice. But right now, though Alora had come to tell him that the kids are safe, he still finds it difficult to be at peace with himself. He has been out of work since they left. He couldn't concentrate at work. He sat on the stool at the bar section in his house. That place had been his solace zone. He couldn't help but drink himself to stupor. He has a great fear that Rose might find them and hurt them. Maybe he shouldn't have let them go?. Maybe he should have gone in search of them and brought them back home. He sighed. "Bethany!!" He yelledBethany rushed towards the bar. "Boss?. Your drinking again?"He ignored her question. "Refill"She shrugged off her next question. She stared at him with pity as she topped off his cup
UNKNOWN DESTINATIONThe road was becoming narrow and crooked. "I think we are getting close" Ariana had said four hours ago. "I think we are getting close" she wanted to say but was stopped by Jasmine."You don't have to say it again. You've said that four hours ago, and we are still on the road. It doesn't seem we are getting there anytime soon"The rest nodded in agreement. Silent returned. After a while, Jamal broke the silence. "Guys, you all did not notice we've been moving in a circle?"Jabal brought the car to a stop. "I wanted to say that too"Ariana batted her lashes. She just noticed that too. "Let me check the map". She brought out the maps from her bag and went through them. She chuckled. "Sorry guys, I think we followed the wrong map""Wrong map?" They asked in unisonAriana nodded. "You mean we've been following the wrong route?""No...""No what?""Chill, Jasmine. She's trying to explain" Jabal answered. He knows
They entered the gate and the witch disappeared, leaving just the four of them. At first, they were confused about what route to follow but with the help of the map they had with them, they found their way to the Live river. It was a big river with an invisible bridge. You will have to pass a test before you can cross. They stared at each other wondering what their test would be. "Ariana, do you have any idea, what the test will be?" Jamal askedAriana shook her head. She was as confused as the rest. "Nah. I think we will just wait and see what happens next""Maybe we should try crossing over" Jasmine suggestedJabal furrowed his brows. "Are you for real?. There isn't any bridge to cross""We try crossing it, it's just a suggestion, ok?. What if we are not supposed to pass any test?"Jabal hissed. "You...""This is not the time to start an argument," Ariana said, rolling her eyes"Jabal is just been an asshole. Maybe we don't need a test. If
As they walked amidst the market, no one stared at them or notice their appearance. "Don't you guys think something is wrong somewhere?" Jasmine whispered"Why are they going about their normal business without talking to them?" Ariana thought. She turned to face Jamal who was closer to her. "There is something strange here. I will try talking to one of them". Jamal nodded. Ariana walked closer to a woman who was selling fish. She displayed the fishes in a star shape. Her eyes were focused on the fish she was cutting. She had cut some into some strange shape. At first, Ariana was afraid to talk to her but having gotten a go-ahead from the rest, she picked up the courage. "Good morning ma'am" she greeted.The woman stared above Ariana's head and continue cutting the fish. Ariana batted her lashes and returned to meet the rest who had tried their luck in talking to the rest of the villagers. They stood in the middle of the market, confused about what to do next. They had tho
THE RED-HAIRED WITCHES COVENEmma has decided to take a walk across the field. Anna had taken the twins, Kira and Kiran for a music class. Kira can sing and control people in the process, while Kiran is very good with instruments that can be used for various magical purposes. Anna had taken them to the training ground so they could get used to their powers and also control them, leaving Emma alone in the house. Since she did not want to visit other witches, believing they might be busy with one or two things, in preparation for the spring festival, that's the reason she decided to take a walk.As she walked amid the morning glory flowers, she couldn't help but enjoy the sweet fragrance from the flowers. They reminded her so much of a place that had refused to go away from her heart, though she couldn't get the clear view of it. It was like something she does every day, maybe from her past life or right before she lost her memory. Though no one could tell where she came fro
Jasmine was able to find Kelvin where he was tied up. She untie him and helped him out. They returned to their territory. Kelvin apologized for betraying them. He had to explain why he betrayed. He had found out Jasmine wasn't his mate on the day he received the anonymous message. that day, he found out his uncle was the one supporting the vampire brothers. He returned to the demon realm to confront his uncle. That was the last thing he can remember. He only knows that he has been giving out every piece of information he heard from them to his uncle. "He threatened me," Kelvin said. "He threatened to hurt Jasmine and every one of you if I don't do what he wants""You should not have done this" they had told him.Everyone poured out their mind and they decided it was best to forgive him. "You have to redeem yourself. You must tell your parent everything that has happened"Kelvin agreed to do whatever they wanted him to do. So when his parent came, he told them everything. The demon K
"Should we not go on with Jasmine's plan? I think that will be better and faster" Ryan suggested but Kelvin went against it immediately."We can't hurt them because we want to get information from them" he insisted. "We must wait until there is a better plan""How long are we going to wait?" Jasmine asked. "Until the book is taken away from Ryan? Or until he gets killed"Jasmine was more passionate about losing Ryan."Do you want to lose the trust of all the Alphas of these packs over just one person?" Kelvin yelled. They were taken by surprise. Jabal stared at him. "I am sorry" he muttered. "What I am saying is that we can't force them to speak. Let's give them some time. I am sure they will cooperate"Jasmine sighed. She is beginning to suspect Kelvin. His attitude these days is suspicious. Ariana, just as Jasmine suspected Kelvin's attitude. That was his first time going against their decision. She could also see the fear in his eyes and she wondered what he had done and is trying
"Ryan?" Jasmine cooed. Tears were tripling down her face. "R-Ryan"Ryan smiled. "I-it's good to see your face again"She smiled at him as tears flew down her face freely. She sat down and held his hand. "I-it's good to see you too. I was worried sick. I thought you were never going to open your eyes"Ryan smiled. "Can I ever leave you alone"She placed her hand over his face and bend out a bit. Her lips touched his lips and he froze. He had not expected that from her and she had not expected that from herself either. They both forgot about their environment and got lost in kissing each other. Their lips fight for dominance as they try to kill their desire for each other. There was a thud sound that brought them back to reality. Jasmine turned to see Kelvin staring at them. Ryan was caught by surprise too. Surprise by Jasmine's kisses and Kelvin's unexpected presence.Kelvin picked up the tray that had fallen from his hand. "So sorry" he muttered and walked out of the tent.Jasmine ra
After they left the earth witches coven, they visited Anderson to say their goodbyes to him. Emerald had told them to make sure they see him before they leave. When he saw them, he walked up to them and smiled. It was good to see them before they leave. They showed Jamal's mate to him and also spoke about a few things, one of which was relaying Emerald's message to him. After spending a few hours with him, they told him they were leaving."I have something for you, Jabal and Jasmine," Anderson said to them. "I will be right back". He left them in the living room and went to his room but returned some minutes later with a metal. "This belongs to your father. It is a badge that helps you to through packs in the northern and southern hemispheres. You might be needing it. I have been renewing it for a day like this". They thanked him for taking of them just like a father would. "Take care of your little brother and his mate," he told them and they assured him that they will.They left the
Jabal hugged Ariana. "I have missed you" he cooed and Ariana chuckled."I have missed you too" Ariana cooed and Jamal scoffed."Can you two stop missing each other?"Ariana chuckled. "You can miss your mate when she comes""I am missing her already," Jamal said in a sad voice.While Jamal and Ariana chatted, Jasmine waved at Ryan who waved back at her. He walked up to her."You must be tired," he said and she smiled."Do you make some food for me?"Ryan smiled. "Do you want me to?""Just joking," Jasmine said with a smile."Did you wear your coat? Ryan has been worried you might not" Jabal said."I made sure she did," Ariana said and Jasmine scoffed.Ryan turned to see Kelvin staring at them. He could tell he was been stared at dangerously. "You should say hi to him," he said to Jasmine, pointing slightly at Kelvin. "He has been worried about you"Jasmine shrugged. Why should he worry about her when he clearly, rejected her?"I won't...""Please" Ryan muttered and Jasmine sighed.She
They put on their touch lights to be able to see clearly. As they walked down the secret passage, they both began to wonder how long they will have to go to get to the end of the passage. The passage was musty and cold and there was no sound except for their moving feet. And except for the touch light in their hands, there were no other sources of light. Jasmine clutched her hands together, clashing her teeth slightly. Not because she was afraid but because she gets so cold easily."Are you cold? Do you need an extra coat?" Ariana asked her looking worried and she smiled.Jabal had told her to carry an extra coat for Jasmine because he knew she wouldn't have taken one."She gets so cold easily but she won't accept that. She won't take a coat either"Surprisingly, Ryan had told her the same thing too. He also begged her to take a coat"No, thanks" she replied and Ariana sighed.The book was the reason they are out there. Ariana felt so bad they have to follow through a place like this.
Ryan took the book from her and dropped it on the table. "Thank you, old one," he said and she tried to stand up.Jasmine helped her up. "Thank you, my daughter," she said with a smile. "I should get going"After the old woman left Ryan picked the book up and stared at it. He opened a few pages and closed the book but instead of dropping it, he kept staring at it. Jasmine watched him for a while before speaking up. "Is something bothering you?""The book is empty. Why do you think she brought it to me?"Jasmine furrowed her brows. "Are you saying that this book has no write-up?"Ryan nodded and hand over the book to her. "There is nothing written in it"Jasmine took the book and stared at it. She could feel a strong aura around it. She opened the book and stared at it. At first, it was empty just like Ryan said."Why do you think she brought the book to me?""That is strange. I don't know. The book..."She blinked. The empty book suddenly began to show some write-up. Jasmine stared a
What prophecy is the witch talking about?"You don't have to worry. I don't know how true the prophecy is. That is the reason I was to speak to your mother" Ryan told her."Did she say what prophecy it will be?" Jasmine asked and Ryan shook his head."No. She was about to say something about the book but her voice faded away and I woke up"Jasmine sighed. "When do you plan to go and see my mother?""Tomorrow"She nodded. "I will go with you"**Before their visit to the earth witches' coven, Jasmine had sent a message to her mother. She had also briefed her about their visit. She knows well that the others will not be comfortable with their visit, so she wanted the visit to be as brief as possible."Do you think the rest will be happy with our visit?" Ryan asked her on their way there."I can't say" she answered. "But I don't think they will do anything. They only suspect you, they have no proof yet". Ryan sighed. He doesn't want their visit to cause a problem for anyone. Jasmine held
About sixty people were having the meeting, including women, but they had nothing to worry about since they are not alone either. Emerald and Ella had given them twenty warriors. Anna gave them ten. Kelvin's warriors were here to help too including Ryan's. Anderson has spoken to his dragon friend, Draco and he had sent out two hundred men. They were sure this battle is going to be a success.As they surround the room, they could tell from their auras that there are witches, wizards, werewolves, and vampires in the room. They wondered why there are no demons and goblins, as well as dragons.Maybe they were not invited? They had thought. Or maybe they had disagreed with the plan. Or they are yet to arrive. They had so many thoughts running through their mind. Especially Kelvin. He wondered if he was going to meet with his uncle. He knows how much his uncle will want the book since the book can give him the powers he desires."Should we listen to what they have to say first before attack
