Dahlia had woken up the day before, the fever went instantly and her body’s temperature reduced to normalcy. Darin was happy that nothing happened to her but he was getting tired of his mother’s incessant questionings.“Don’t you think we should call the police and file a missing person’s report? She is just a child, she may have run away from home and her parents are probably worried sick about her.” Peter’s mother said.“You don’t know that, mom. I’m just trying to be kind here, that’s what you taught me. When the girl is strong, I’ll send her away but for now, allow me to take care of her.” Peter said. They were having breakfast and they were having this conversation right in Dahlia’s presence. She just sat and ate her food, not minding what they were saying, her whole focus was on getting better so that she can leave.“Forgive my mother’s manners.” Peter said to Dahlia. She just nodded slightly, reluctant to raise her head to look at any of them. She seemed more interested in her
“What?! No you must be mistaken, I..I.. from my calculations, this should be the year 1910. I believe that when I was freed from limbo, I saw my Larinth and some other familiar things, you can’t tell me that a whole century and half was stolen away from me.” Darin said. He was aggravated. “You have to calm down, Darin. Forget all about what you have lost and focus on the present. I helped you fit a reason, don’t make me regret that.” Peter said. “Who are you to tell me what I should and should not do? I failed to go back to meet Yvette and I also failed to preserve her body constantly. It would be rotten now, Yvette would never forgive me now and I will never forgive myself either.” Darin said as tears rolled down his cheeks. Peter was convinced that Darin had no intentions of harming him, he seemed more focused on Yvette than any other thing at the moment. He took great pity on him as he cried bitterly, he saw firsthand just how much Darin loved Yvette. He was willing to rewind h
They arrived in Italy and headed straight to Elijah’s research facility. Elijah was not aware of their arrival. “Hello, Roman. To what do I owe this surprise visit.” Elijah said as he ran into them in the lobby.“Good day, Elijah.” West said and Roman smiled warmly which West considered as a response to his greetings.“Elijah! I’m pleased to see you, I know you are pleased to see me too.” Roman said with a wide grin, exposing his white set of teeth. He brought his hand for a handshake.“How may I help you?” Elijah said as he walked with them to his office.“Great office with a great view. You really are comfortable here, aren’t you?” Roman said, still smiling.“Of course, there are billions of dollars being pumped into tech yearly so, yes, I can afford my comfort.” Elijah said.West and Roman could sense the pride and arrogance in his tone. Roman was sure irritated by Elijah’s response because it was always his role to act that way but Elijah stole it from him.“Well, that’s a good t
West was disheartened on hearing this. Maybe there was something he could do to fix this, if he gets Darin, maybe he can get Roman to change his mind.“What if I told you that I can try to find a way to bring Darin back.” West said as they drove to the airport.“Do it and you get your daughter back.” Roman said reluctantly.West was overjoyed at hearing this but how would he make that happen?**“You are going back already? You never come back and now that you tried to, you’re leaving already.” Peter’s mother sulked.“Mom, you’re being extra and I feel bad already. I have to work to give you this kind of comfort. It’s one week already, I have to go.” Peter said.“Did I ask for this? Did I? All I want is to be with you. Your father was not always around when he was alive, now he’s gone. I thought you would stay with me but you’re leaving.” She added.“Mom, you’re getting old and cranky. I will try to visit more often and send you lots and lots of money too.” Peter said.“Do you think
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
