Splash! Minx forcefully shut her eyes open as the water landed on her face.“You’ll talk to Seth now and you’ll tell him that if he doesn’t intervene in this situation, I’ll kill you.” Bob said.“Anyhow I look at it, you need me alive than dead. Just beg.” Minx said.“I can see that you want another shot of this wolfsbane. I won’t hesitate to give it to you though.” Bob said.“No, please. I could have died the first time. Bring my phone, it’s in my bag.” Minx said and Bob rushed to bring it.“Ohhh it looks like hubby has been calling you. But I’m more interested in his father.” Bob said with a slight smirk.**“Dad, I think something is wrong. Minx is supposed to be back by now. She’s never late. I’ve been trying to reach her but to no avail.” Gabriel said as he paced back and forth in the room.“Calm down. Uhh, maybe she just has a lot of work to do and turned her phone off, yunno, big case and all.” Seth said.“You don’t understand, dad. She’s never late. If she has a lot of work to
“Babe?” Minx said as she opened her eyes slowly. Her vision was still blurry but she could recognize Gabriel who was sitting next to her bed, waiting for her to open her eyes.“You’re awake.” Gabriel said with a smile as he stopped her from sitting up.“You need to rest, infant. Dr. Bennett said that it’s a miracle that you are still alive. The amount of wolfsbane in your system was enough to kill you. That bastard!” Gabriel said as he clenched his fists.“It’s okay, babe. The most important thing is that I’m okay and Bob didn’t get what he wanted.” Minx said aa she placed her hand on his cheek.“We were lucky that we got to you in time. If not, I would have killed that Bob right at the spot.” Gabriel said.“Where is he?” Minx said.“I don’t know. Dad should be punishing him, I guess. I’ve been here the whole time, all that matters to me is your safety.” Gabriel said and kissed her hand.Minx smiled before speaking. “What about Jordan? Where is he?” Minx said.“Uhh, Jordan is fine. He
“I’m serious. He goes to see the judge every Wednesday, they are very close friends. You can come around too since you don’t believe me. It’s Wednesday today. Let’s just go to the courtroom.”Bob said.“Oli, please help me shut this man up.” Seth said as he focused on the road while he was driving.Oliver, without hesitation, stuffed his mouth with the cloth again.“Now, we can drive smoothly to the station.” Seth said.“I would have preferred tying him to a horse though.” Oliver said and they both laughed.There was a roadblock and Seth had to see what was going on.“Watch him, I’ll be back.” Seth said and alighted from the car and walked farther to see what made a lot of people stand on the road.“Oh my God! It’s Seth Oscar! Can I get an autograph?” Seth wondered what was going on. Maybe it was somebody who just had the same name as him.He was going to ask them to move aside so that he could pass so he kept walking further until he saw the man that everyone else was drooling over.
“Don’t you think we should suspend this interrogation? Darin will be here soon and we need to be there.” Oliver said.“What else do I have to know about this charlatan?!” Seth shouted, totally ignoring what Oliver just said.“I…I promise. I’ve told you all that I know. If you’re gonna kill me, just do so. I’m feeling very lightheaded in this position.” Bob said.Seth had tied him upside down, his two legs were tied to a strong pole and his head was facing the ground. Oliver disapproved but Seth insisted and carried on with it saying he needed extreme measures to bring out the truth from the man.“Seth, I guess he’s saying the truth. How can he lie in this condition?” Oliver whispered into Seth’s ear.“You don't understand, Oli. You’re not the one who has someone going around the town with your name and face. I wonder how long this has been going on.” Seth said, staring blankly at Bob whose face had turned red like it was going to explode any minute.“Don’t you dare touch him, Oli. I’m
Jordan closed his eyes, took a deep breath and pointed his right index finger in an open space, and started turning it, slowly as though he was drawing a circle in the air.Little light flashes started to flicker as Jordan increased his pace.“1900, come to me.” Jordan said and immediately, the portal opened.“That’s it, that’s her! Yvette!” Darin said, almost moved to tears.“You have to go in now, I can’t hold it for too long.” Jordan said as he struggled to keep the portal open.“Wendy, Matthew, now!” West said.Minx immediately rushed out of the garden to signal her mother to start her support just like she promised to.“Is Jordan doing okay?” Mrs. Jackson said.“Yes, but the portal is too strong, it holds a lot of memories and it’s difficult to hold. He needs your help.” Minx said.“Okay, you can go back inside. I can handle this.” Mrs. Jackson said.“Thank you, mom.” Minx said and hugged her.“Come on, let’s go. It’s strong enough.” West said to Darin who was already inside ther
“You wanted to be with me forever right? This is the only way.” Yvette said and smiled.“Yvette? Why? I…I… Could have brought you back to life.” Darin said as he struggled to breathe. Tears rolled down his eyes as he stared at Yvette in disbelief. He slowly crawled away from Yvette.“Now, we’re even.” Yvette said.“What do you mean? I didn’t mean to do it, and you know it.” Darin said as his hand trailed up to his chest where the stake was pierced.“West? West? Please get me out of here. I should not have come here in the first place.” Darin whispered as he gasped for breath.“You are stupid.” West said.“Huh! What happened? How did you get that in your chest? What’s going on?” Yvette gasped as she ran toward Darin where he lay, fighting for his life.“Don’t touch me. I should have let you be instead of chasing after you all this time. You had to kill me to make your point right?” Darin said as he cried.“I can never do you any harm. I don’t know how this happened, my love. One moment
“Jordan will be fine. He just has to rest a lot. A lot of energy has gone out from him but don’t worry, I’ll take care of him throughout this period.” Dr. Bennett said.“Thank you very much. What about the others? Please check on them.” Seth said.“Dad? When you did you get here?” Minx said.“Not quite long ago. How did he get here? I saw him on my way here with a lot of dignitaries and paparazzi and uhhh journalists and a lot of people. It looked like there was a show going on. I managed to walk up to him to remind him that today is the big day. He said that I belong in the crowd and I should never come that close to him again. I was surprised and so I left. Seeing him here is surprising.” Mr. Jackson said.“What are you saying, dad? He has been here since it all started. I’m sure there is a mistake somewhere.” Minx defended.“I’m sure of what I’m saying. I saw him and he knows it. You can ask him yourself.” Mr. Jackson said.“This is escalating quickly. It appears that someone is pa
It was getting late, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson were about leaving, Jordan still hasn’t woken up, Dr. Bennett said that she would be fine but Minx didn’t seem to buy it. She was in great panic and distress.Wendy and Matthew had recovered, and not much energy was lost from them. Mrs. Jackson didn’t need to rest, she didn’t feel weak at all. She was just consoling Minx and assuring her that Jordan would be fine.“When will he wake up? I’m starting to worry.” Minx said.“Honestly, I don’t know. I’m not a witch doctor. But all his vitals are intact, he should be fine soon.” Dr. Bennett said.“Mom, dad, do you know any witch doctor? I can’t just leave my son’s life to chance. I never wanted this to happen in the first place, now, see.” Minx said as she cried.She looked very tired and worn out but she was reluctant to give in to the needs of her body. All she wanted was to see her baby hale and hearty again.“All the witch doctors we know are wolf blood witches and you know what will happen if
