Oliver rushed immediately to Seth’s quarters to tell him what just happened. Seth was rather surprised to hear that. “Christine, here is what you should do, to be safe and to make sure that the child is safe, you must never disclose her location to anyone, no matter who the person is. I hope the baby is in safe hands too. You must not visit her again. We are in dangerous times and we need to be vigilant, else, we lose everything. I need you to be careful, don’t tells anyone and do not visit her again. Is that clear?” seth said.Christine nodded her head frantically, she was still very scared and she wondered what would have happened if she gave in to the pressure earlier. She would have failed Amanda.**“It’s been a week since Amanda died and Gabriel and Gordon have refused to eat anything or leave their rooms. I’ve tried all I can to console them but its not working. They are acting as if their works has one to an end.” Daisy said.“You don’t expect them to accept it as quick
Ten years later…“Are you sure you don’t wanna go home? We have closed for the year, it’s pretty normal for you to go home, I mean, everyone is going, you don’t have to be the only one here.” Damian said.“Then stay with me, Damian, I don’t want to stay alone either.” Jordan said.“I’m sorry, I told my parents that I’ll be home, I never miss the Christmas holidays, it’s the chance you get to be with your family in a year. You know how tight our schedule throughout the year is, you should at least go home and stay a few days before we resume from the holidays, don’t you think?” Damian said.“My mom put you up to this, didn’t she? Well, tell her that I’m not coming back, mama Wendy appointed me to be part if the people that would watch over the building while everyone leaves.” Jordan said, reluctantly. The only thing that seemed to be of concern to him at the moment was his painting. He was trying to learn new magic tricks, and one of their exercises that semester was bringing still o
“I’m sorry, mama Wendy, I’m going to have to disobey you this time.” Jordan said as he held miss Whimsey’s fur very tight that it made her purr loudly.“Jordan, you’re hurting her. Stop that.” Minx said.“Since when did you care about that? You don’t care about miss Whimsey, stop acting as if you do.” Jordan snapped.“Now, Jordan, you are acting like a spoilt child. And I know that you are not. Why are you so hard on your mother? Can’t you see that she loves you and wants the best for you?” Wendy said.“Easy for you to say because you have never been ignored.” Jordan said.“Whatever your mom did to you, I’m sure she has apologized, you have to forgive her and let this go. It’s not right. Since your junior year that you came to this school, you have not gone home. Please, be nice for once, that’s all I’m asking.” Wendy said. Jordan did not say anything, she just stared blankly at Wendy with no emotions on his face.“Please, Jordan, I accept my fault, I know that everything happened be
“Please, I need to talk to Damian. It’s a matter of urgency.” Jordan said as he attempted to run after Damian but one of the hefty security men blocked his way and the other one carried his luggage.“Young man, this way, please. Or I’ll be forced do do something you would not like.” The security man said.“Piss off, you can’t do anything to me.” Jordan said as he hit his shoulder and ran down the hall. The men ran after him and caught him when he stopped. He thought he heard Damian in the toilet crying.“Damian? Damian? Are you there?” Jordan said amidst pants.“There he is!” one of the security men said.“Damian, please, give me a chance to explain. I swear, I didn’t know. If I did, I would not have let that happen.” Jordan said.“Really? All the girls in school adore you and practically worship you. You could have easily picked any of them, why did it have to be Esther? I told you that I like her, didn’t I? But you don’t care because you can easily get whoever you want with your cha
“I’m sorry, mother. I think I know my way around.” Jordan said and walked away.Minx was going to fall to the ground and wallow in sorrow but she immediately snapped out of it. She was going to bond with Jordan, that was the whole reason why she begged Wendy to make him go home as his punishment.“When you are done, comes down for lunch. Okay, honey?” Minx raised her voice a bit so that Jordan could hear her from upstairs.“Okay, mother.” Jordan mumbled but Minx heard him due to her heightened senses.Minx went ahead and prepared lunch, she did not know his favorite, he never acted like he liked any dish or even enjoyed eating at all. But she made something for him anyways and hoped he would like it.Jordan came down after freshening up. He almost smiled when he saw his favorite on the table, it was lasagna.“You like it? I wasn’t sure what you would like so I just guessed. You used to like this when you were little though.” Minx said.“Yes, mother, I like it.” Jordan said with a brie
"I don't seem to understand why the wolf-blood witches were scared of my birth, I am born but I am not ending anyone's lineage whatsoever," Jordan said in utter confusion."The bracelet you wear on your hand, was made specially for you..." she said before he cut her off."I know it's to protect me from my powers I cannot control," he said impatiently waiting for her to tell him the direct answer to his question."Not necessarily, whenever you come in contact with anyone with magical powers, you absorb their power unknowingly. This part of the prophecy was confirmed when you were born and absorbed my powers, so since then we have kept that bracelet on you for your protection. We don’t want you taking all the powers of your schoolmates. So, don’t ever take it off, okay?”"After you've told me all this I feel like a power-sucking monster and I feel like I have wronged you by taking your powers through my birth," he said as he looked at her with fear and worry in his eyes."No you are not
Jordan sat in front of his painting as he tried to chant spells to make it come to life, he had been practicing this spell for a while but it didn’t just seem to work, he wondered what he was doing wrong. Perhaps he should ask his mother, no she would think he had forgiven her and begin to get ahead of herself.He stood up from where he sat and walked out the door, he walked down the hallway, and after two doors, he knocked on the third gently. It was his mother's room, she liked to give him his distance but not stay too far from him."Come in," Minx said from where she sat with a novel, she thought it was one of the housekeepers but she was surprised to see Jordan standing in front of her door."Is everything alright son?" she asked with a delightful smile on her face."Yes everything's alright, I just thought you'd help me check something out" he said as he scratched the back of his neck because of the weird feeling that comes with asking his mother for help."I do not mind" she sa
After a three-hour long nap, Minx woke up and lay in that particular spot as she had nowhere else to be or nothing else to do. She heard a knock on her door and it was the housekeeper."Where would you like to have your dinner? Here or downstairs" the house keeper asked."Where is Jordan having his dinner?" Minx retorted."Downstairs ma'am." the housekeeper responded."Then I'll eat downstairs" she answered."Okay ma'am," the housekeeper said and left the room shutting the door quietly.A few moments after the housekeeper left the room, Minx carefully climbed down from the bed and walked out of the room, she went downstairs to meet Jordan having his dinner quietly as usual. She sat on the chair opposite and ate her food chewing very slowly and quietly as she was still very low on strength. When Jordan was through with his meal he stood up to leave the dining table and go back to his room when she said; "I understand that you are angry and pained but I want you to know that I did all
