The sun has never shone brighter, the winds, stiller, the clouds, clearer, and Minx’s mood, better. Minx opened her eyes with carefulness as the sun rays from her window peered at her lovely face. She slept like a queen the previous night and her mother was up early to prepare breakfast like she always did.Minx started to feel at home again, it felt like the good old days, nothing changed, only her attitude toward it. She became more appreciative of the littlest things and loved how her parents tried to protect her rather than feel locked up in a bottle like she used to.Before going to bed last night, she had the thoughts of calling Gabriel to tell him that she was back but she waved off the thoughts immediately.“Good Morning, Minx.” Mrs. Jackson said as she removed the sheets from Minx’s body and helped her out of the bed. She treated Minx like a princess since she got back. Minx would tell her to act natural, and it’s already enough that they took her back in and put their lives
“Shit, you can’t. Your mother would kill you, you know how much she hates Minx and her kind. Telling her this is gonna throw her off balance.”Gordon said. He knew that Honesty is the best policy and no sooner than later, Gabriel’s parents would find out but telling them would be very difficult.“Someone has to tell them. I wanna be that person.” Gabriel said and stood up.“Now? You’re crazy, man.” Gordon said as he grabbed him by the shoulder.“Let me remind you in case you have forgotten. A wolf blood witch possessed me once when I was little, possessed your mother, and made your father lose his power against them. Technically, you were possessed too because she manipulated your limbs to move. “Now, your mother hates them, she never wants to cross paths with any of them again and you started dating Minx. She kicked against it and soon, Minx left. Because you met with Minx, you became very ill, close to your death. “How do you expect your parents to understand that it was a mistake
“How do you feel?” Seth said. Gabriel could not understand why his father asked him such a question, he was crying, and it was easy to tell what emotions he felt.“I feel terrible, I wish I don’t have to feel this way, it hurts.” Gabriel said. Seth peered at him intently as he said these words.“How do you think your mother feels?” Seth said. Gabriel was not sure where this was leading but he answered the questions anyways.“She’s angry and disappointed.” Gabriel replied.“How do you think I feel?” Seth said. Gabriel was not sure of his father’s emotions at the moment, he rarely expressed his anger and pain. He treated almost everything casually and made everything seem fixable.“I don’t know.” Gabriel replied.“What do you mean you don’t know? That’s not an answer. How do you think I feel?” Seth thundered. His voice became more impulsive.“I… I th-think you’re mad?” Gabriel managed to say after the shock he just got out from because of the way Seth revolted.“I understand you feel te
Minx feared that she would be leaving soon and so, decided to call Gabriel, she wanted to meet up as soon as possible. She missed him a lot but doubted if he still felt the same way about her. Sometimes, she wondered why she told Gabriel to keep it a secret, if he had told his parents, they wouldn’t like it but they still would not leave her unprotected with her unborn child. That way, she would be sure that no harm would come to her. Ring, Ring… Gabriel’s phone was ringing but there was no response. Minx decided to call one more time, then, she would give it a rest.“Hello…” Gabriel said.Oh, how she missed the tingling sensation she felt on hearing his voice. His low deep voice was euphonious and Minx loved to hear it all the time. Sometimes, she wondered if he could sing. Of what use was it? They would never be together, it was useless to fantasize over the impossible.“Hey, Gabriel, it’s Minx.” Minx said. She had gotten a new phone and a new sim too since Gina had the old one.G
Minx could not believe what Gabriel said. It was both good and bad news. It was good because it’s what she had always wanted; acceptance, she hated being perceived as evil and the devil. And it also meant more protection, Gabriel had told her about the story of his parents encounter with her kind. She understood where the hatred was from. But the bad news was that her parents would never allow it, all her parents knew about her pregnancy was that it is from a werewolf and they don’t care to know who. Chances are, they want nothing to do with the father of her child and have taken it upon themselves to raise Minx’s child. But Minx would never know until she tells them.“Uhhh… I’m not sure about that. I told you before, that I don’t want to complicate things. Maybe it was a mistake asking to meet up with you.” Minx said.“Please, don’t say that, Minx. We have missed out on ourselves so much and we want to be together, I want to be with you, I want to be involved in your life and that o
“What took you so long? Your food must have gotten cold already. Eat up, you don’t wanna starve the baby.” Mrs. Jackson said and they both laughed it off.Minx was not hungry at the moment because of how much her body ached for Gabriel. But there was no way she could leave without eating, her mother would not allow it. She ate a little quantity of food and took some fruits with her so that when she becomes hungry, she would eat them and give Gabriel too.“I’ve had my fill, mom. I’ll be in my room.” Minx said as she stood up.“Yunno, when I was pregnant, I always ate at odd times, I would send your father out in the middle of the night to get me crabs, where would he find such at such an hour? But he did get me everything I wanted. I stocked the fridge, feel free to take anything you please.” Mrs. Jackson said with a big smile.“Thank you, mom.” Minx said and turned to leave.“Good night, Minx.” Mr. Jackson said.“Good night, dad. Good night, mom. See you two tomorrow. Mom, I’m going s
“I won't let you do this, I can’t put my boy’s life at risk. There’s no guarantee that Roman still has your daughter.” Wendy said.“The only reason I agreed to meet with you is because of the respect I have for you. Don’t try to dissuade me from my plans because it won’t work, I’ll get Darin back, tell your son or whoever he is to not be a stumbling block because I will crush him.” West threatened.“How foolish you are. You really think that if you hand Darin over to Roman, he’d give you back your child? What makes you think that he kept her alive all these years? Roman does not give a shit about anybody but his daughter. Give me one reason why he would keep your daughter safe and alive this long when it’s in his habit to slaughter people. Wendy said.“You are just saying all these to protect your son. If it were someone else, you would have supported me. Here’s what you can do to save his ass, just have him hand Darin over to me.” West said.“You’re not thinking right, go home, West.
“Peter, I beg you. Please, listen to me, I’m only trying to protect you. West is a powerful witch and he won’t back down without a fight. You won’t win, Peter, your grandmother asked me to protect you, please, help me to help you.” Wendy pleaded but it all fell on deaf ears.“I called to ask if you know any witch who is a time walker. Darin and I are working on something.” Peter said, ignoring all that Wendy said.“Why won’t you listen to me? What do you want with the vampire? Just hand him over! West will find you and when he does, I cannot help you then.” Wendy said.“He won’t find me if you don’t tell him where I am. So, it’s up to you.” Peter said.“You never listen, Peter. Why do you love endangering your life? You are making things difficult for me. Please, just listen for once.” Wendy said.“I’m sorry, aunt Wendy. But please, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’m sure that West or whatever you call him wants nothing good with Darin. I took the risk of healing him and you just
