What? You’re joking, Mr. West. I see you like to make jokes, cool though.” Dahlia said.“Of course, I’m joking, that’s awkward, right?” West said as he took a large scoop of his ice cream. He was hurt a bit by Dahlia’s response. Wasn’t he good enough to be her father? Did she ever consider him a father figure? “Whoa! Ain’t that too big to fit in?” Dahlia said as she shone her eyes in amazement.“I’m fine.” West muffled as the ice cream prevented him from speaking well.“Tell me about your child. You said you had one.” Dahlia said.“My wife and I once had a child but she was taken away from us as a punishment. All I did was forget to perform a task he assigned me because of the joy of becoming a father. I have searched for her ever since, I became a slave to Roman, the man who took her away, hoping that he would take pity on me and give her back but it never happened. He was going to kill me wife but we escaped.” West explained.“So Roman is really mean. I just thought people were blo
“Your mom and I attended the same college. She was quite the beauty and every guy on campus wanted her. She liked me and chose me over all of them, maybe it was because of my fancy way of dressing, I don’t know, I never really asked her. All I know is that we grew to love ourselves so much and became inseparable.“I proposed to her with the necklace you have there and she accepted, maybe it’s because she knew its worth. It cost me a fortune at that time. I was glad she loved it and a few years later, we got married.” West said and smiled.“That’s pretty sweet. I’m sure she loved you for you, not material things.” Dahlia said.“Yeah, I know. If not, she would have sold the necklace after agreeing to my proposal and would have easily called it off. I’m glad she didn’t.” West said.“She gave it to me. That’s sweet.” Dahlia said as she took it out again and looked at it.“She told me she lost it. I thought she didn’t value it anymore because we started drifting apart after you were taken
“West, you have to take it easy. Please, don’t do this to yourself.” Wendy begged as West threatened to fall from the rooftop.“My Life is no longer worth living. I should join my daughter wherever she is. I can’t bear this.” West said as he cried.“Please, listen to me. Something can be done, I’ll try to bring her back. It’s gonna be difficult but I’ll try.” Wendy said.“Go and fetch Aurora, quickly.” Wendy whispered to a girl who was standing behind her.“Really? She can be brought back to life?” West said.“Yes, but I’ll need your help. Please, come down.” Wendy said.“I don’t believe you. It’s impossible, she’s dead and gone. Stop trying to give me hope when there is none, it only hurts the more.” West said and ran to the other side of the rooftop where no one was so that no one would attempt to catch him if he fell and he let himself go as he fell to the ground.“Thank you, Aurora. I don’t know what would have become of us if you hadn’t intervened.” Wendy said, looking over West’
Days passed and Jordan became better at controlling his powers. He could project things from his mind and they would come out exactly the way he wants them to.He became better at drawing which honed his skills even more. Now, it was time to teach him the portal opening spell. Wendy had to be careful so as not to open a portal that cannot be closed.Wendy was unsure about her ability to teach Jordan the spell and reached out to West, the most powerful witch she knew after Jordan of course.“I know what I’m about to ask of you will be very difficult and you may probably hate me after this but it’s of utmost importance and you are the only one I can think of right now.” Wendy said over the phone.“Say what you need, Wendy. I’ll see if I can do it or not.” West said.“Okay, uhh… I uhh need your help in teaching Jordan the portal spells. I don’t think I’m strong enough for that. Maybe you could come around and we would both figure it out?” Wendy said.“Okay, I’ll prepare myself and come o
On the night of Dahlia’s murder…“I think we will fall back to plan B. Plan A worked but it was unfortunate. What do you say?” West said as he sat on the bed close to Aurora.“I’m in no mood to talk. Let me grieve over our daughter.” Aurora said.“You speak as though you believed me when I told you that it was possible that Dahlia could still be alive. You suggested that we have another child and that’s what were gonna do now.” West said, not minding how much Aurora was hurt.“Don’t you touch me!” Aurora thundered. West was shocked at her reaction and shifted a little.“If you had thought of this earlier, you would not have attempted to take your life. Who knows what would have happened if I didn’t show up? You may be among the bodies that were consecrated earlier. Sometimes, you have to think of others, quite your selfishness, it irritates me.” Aurora said.“Babe, I’m sorry. I was not in my right senses, please forgive me.” West said as he went down on his knees, begging.“Leave me a
“Now, I can continue.” Darin said and smiled. Seth dropped his phone to listen to what Darin was going to say. Oliver on the other hand was already trying to connect the dots from the story that Darin had told them.“Uhhh… where did I stop? I can’t remember.” Darin said.“Seriously?” Oliver said.“You said that Devereaux helped Darin to become high priestess.” Seth said.“Oh yeah, she did. Guess how she did it.” Darin said.“Darin, if you had a hand in it, just say it. No one’s gonna execute you. I mean, why else are you stalling? You are definitely hiding something.” Oliver said.“Watch your tone. If you were Seth, I would have left here this instant. Let me go at my own pace.” Darin said calmly.Seth signaled Oliver to calm down and not force things out of Darin. It would ruin all their efforts.“As I was saying… Devereaux helped Avery by killing Gillian, she was the only one who knew that Avery’s child was a hybrid. If the other witches found out, they would probably freak out and
West had arrived in Italy and gotten settled too. They resumed practice immediately, West was the person that Wendy needed. He could craft the spell and he could also control it.Wendy was so happy that it was all coming together.“Why did you decide to help me? You are still supposed to be grieving. I know I was supposed to be understanding and not selfish, forgive me.” Wendy said.“It’s alright. I have my reasons for doing this, I’m not stupid.” West said.“What does that mean?” Wendy said.“What it means is that I’m gonna use this opportunity to kill Darin. Actually, two witches should be involved in this spell. One would create the portal and the other would go inside with Darin. He can’t possibly navigate his way through.“There are lots of mirages and dangers in the portal that leads to the past. I’d help him find his way and just we he has reunited with Yvette, I’ll kill him and come back alone. It would not be so difficult for everyone to move on.” West said.“That’s what I’m
Even though Seth wanted Darin out of their lives, he could not let a total stranger come to his home and do things for him. He wanted to talk to West and understand why he was so certain that more than anything at the moment, he wanted Darin dead.In a way, Seth felt a little protective over Darin because of the story he shared earlier. He could hear the sadness in his voice and see the disappointment in his eyes as he talked about how he killed Gillian and his hexing just for him to stay away from Yvette.Generally, Seth just wanted to know more about West and what his true intentions were.As Seth strode to his quarters, he saw West in the living room watching Tv. Seth decided to seize the opportunity to talk to him about what he had heard earlier.“Jordan always laughs at me when he sees me watching cartoons. The little boy has no idea that it’s still interesting to adults.” Seth said as he joined West on the couch.“I love Tom and Jerry so much. It never loses its touch.” West sai
