Rachel was happy to see the children. She hugged them one after another."Look at you, Jasmine. Looking all big and grown" Rachel said when she hugged Jasmine."So happy to see you, Rachel" Jasmine cooed."Happy to see you, my little cutie" Rachel replied."Ariana, you look so beautiful in your red hair. You've finally become a red-haired witch" Rachel said when she hugged Ariana."It's good to see you, Rachel," Ariana said, hugging her tightly."Good to see you too" Rachel answered. Everyone one of them had one thing or the other to say when she hugged them."They have grown so big and stronger, Stella. I sense a stronger aura around them" Rachel said and Stella smiled. She couldn't agree less. She was standing beside Rachel and had been watching her talk to them for a while now."We did not do any task while coming here, Stella" Jasmine said to Stella "I never said you were going to carry out any task. I only said there are a few tasks you might have to carry out. And you have to f
Everyone stared in awe at the two new lovebirds, as they stared admirably at each other. It was a moment they do not want to interrupt. Jamal was the first to break the eye contact."I'm sorry, hope you are not hurt?" He asked and she nodded not saying a word. "Your hands are bleeding," he said and made to touch her but she moved backward. "I don't want to hurt you. I just want to see if the hand is fine" he said and moved closer to her. She let him touch her hand and he sighed. "It's just a minor scratch. Are you sure you'll be ok?" He asked and she nodded.She dragged her hand away from him and ran away. He stood rooted to his spot, wondering why she had to run away. He wondered if he had said something to her that she doesn't like.Jasmine moved closer to him. "I think she is shy," she said."Do you think I will meet her again?" He asked."I am sure you will""I couldn't even get her name""Do you think she can speak?" Andrea asked from behind."She said no word to him. I doubt if
For the rest of the journey, Pearl said no word to Jamal and he wondered why she had stopped talking to him. He was tempted to talk to her but he decided against it.He thought it will be better not to talk to her so she can spend some time thinking about what he just said to her about being her mate.They were at the valley of prophecy in no time. Pearl disappeared into the valley and the rest followed Maria into the only house available in the valley."Have your seats. Lilly, get them some tea" Maria said and Lilly left. "You must be tired now. Do you want to have some rest before we enter the valley of prophecy? Or you will rest after we enter into the valley of prophecy?""Let's go into the valley first, then we can rest and then go back home tomorrow," Stella said and everyone nodded."You should have some tea to ease your stress before we leave," Maria said and Lilly walked in with a tray containing cups of tea. She gave one to each of them, including her mother, and sat down. A
Without looking back, Jamal took a few steps toward the house. Gabrielle was already at the door when he got there. Lily and Pearl must have entered the house. "Good morning, Gabrielle" he greeted, trying not to around worried. "Good morning, Jamal. Welcome back. The rest have been waiting for you. You should come in" Gabrielle said, gesturing to Jamal with her hand.He smiled at Gabrielle and then walked past her into the house to see the rest seated. They seem to be lost in their chat. Jamal could notice the happiness in their voices. Jasmine noticed him first."Jamal is here," she said, standing up and walking up to him.Everyone turned to look at him and he smiled wearily at them. He seems to be the only one who is not happy that they are leaving soon. Jasmine hugged him."I have missed you, Jamal. How have you been?" Jasmine asked and he sighed."I guess I am fine" he replied.Jasmine pulled away from the hug. She could sense the sadness in his voice and she knew Immediately th
Jamal was surprised to hear Stella say that he has completed his task. He stared at Stella, happiness written all over his face. He had not thought that was his task. To be able to leave Alaska Arias without rejecting Pearl and also without having to go with her. And though he suspected Pearl might be among his task, he does not think his task will be as easy as it is now."A-are you being serious right now, Stella?" He asked, stuttering slightly, hoping Stella won't change her mind about the task.Stella nodded. "I am. You've carried out your task without knowing and you passed. Congratulations, Jamal""Congratulations, Jamal," Jasmine said, hugging him."You did it, Jamal" Ariana said."Congratulations, bro," Jabal said."Congrats man," Kelvin said, patting him."Congratulations" Ryan greeted with a smile on his face. Everyone was happy Jamal has succeeded to carry out his task without stress, just like the rest of them and they can now return to Alaska without any worry. Rachel m
EARTH WITCHES COVEN "I don't think the kids are back yet. Or are they not supposed to come back today?' Anna asked Emerald who is called Emma by the Red-haired witches.Emerald had left the earth witches' coven for a while now to visit Anna in the red-haired witches' coven leaving Ella, Ariana's mother in charge. She had just returned today with Anna because Stella had sent a message to her that the kids will return today.As usual, she had a thing or two to knit and Anna was helping her out."It is not evening yet, Anna. We can hope they get back before the sunset" Emerald answered."I really wish to see them before I return to the coven," Anna said."Stella already told me they will be back today and I am sure they will. You just need to wait a little more and you will meet with them""Haven't they been gone for about three weeks?" Anna asked counting her fingers. Emerald blinked. "How time flies. I can't believe they are gone for that long""I can't believe that either" Ella said,
They had noticed Jabal, Jamal, Ryan, and Kelvin, had left the house already, but when they got outside, they noticed they were outside waiting for them."Why did you not wait for us?" Jasmine asked when they joined them."And let us get to school late?" Jabal asked and Jasmine hissed."You would have at least told us you were leaving""Do we even owe you an explanation?" Jabal asked and Jasmine frowned."Are you...""Are we going to walk to school or take the car?" Jamal asked trying to change the topic."We are late already. Taking the car will be the best option" Ryan said and they all agreed to that."I will drive you to school and bring back the car," Kelvin said. "Jasmine can seat with me in the front and the rest of you can fix yourselves in the back seats"Since everyone agreed to it, Ariana headed back inside to get the key to one of the cars and handed it to Kelvin. They all headed to the park and entered the car."Are you going to stay in the coven until we return?" Jasmine
Jamal chuckled. "Hw hasn't marked your sister yet. He is not your brother-in-law""But he will soon" Jabal replied."You can at least wait until then. And by the way, I don't think he sounded rude""Do you know what being rude is?" Jabal asked with a frown."No, I don't. You can as well tell me""You want me to tell you?""If you don't mind""Well, I do. So I won't tell you""Don't you think you are being proud too?" Jamal said and Jabal frowned."You think I am proud because of this?""Yes. It's the same as you thinking Kelvin is rude"Jabal scoffed. "Are you supposed to support him over me?""I am not supporting anyone. I only wanted you to get something right"Jabal scoffed. "I shouldn't be having this conversation," he said and walked away."Hi, Jabal," Kelvin said when he walked closer to him. "Are you ok? You seem pissed off" Kelvin asked."Where is the car?" Jabal asked and Kelvin pointed."Over there"He knew Jabal doesn't want to start a conversation and he wasn't ready to ma
