“It is done, sir,” Peter said as he got back into the building after carrying out his mischief. He made sure to be very careful, if Elijah got wind of what was happening, he knew that the consequences would be grave.“That is good. I will start the recruiting for new scientists, be prepared to welcome more talented people like yourself.” Elijah said with a brief smile.Peter knew that Elijah could not get the upgrade done even if he hired Einstein but he could not say a word. Peter knew that this new distraction would allow him to take a break and look after Darin.“Sir… I uhhh want to take a week’s break. I just lost my father and I have to go home to perform his burial rites.” Peter said as he prayed that Elijah would buy his excuse and permit him. Although he believed that he would because he had never gone on a break or leave before. This would be the first if Elijah plays ball.“Okay. That’s fine, you can go. I am truly sorry for your loss.” Elijah said. Peter was his best staf
Minx’s phone rang, it was her mother. She rushed to her room and shut the door before answering the call.“How are you, dear?” Mrs. Jackson inquired.“I’m not fine, mom. I think aunt Gina is up to something, I don’t think it’s safe anymore here.” Minx complained.“What is wrong?” Mrs. Jackson asked. She was getting worried, she wondered what Gina must have done this time that made Minx so scared.“I had that vision again, while I was sleeping. And just now, I caught her chanting a spell with some strange items. I will send them right away, I sense some kind of danger.” Minx said, she said was panting heavily as she said these words.“Minx! Minx!” Mrs. Jackson called out but Minx was not responding anymore. Mrs. Jackson was scared.Minx was having another episode, it was a warning that Gina is not all that she seems. Minx fell to the bed when it stopped after some minutes. She wanted to scream out her pain but she did not want to draw any attention to herself.Without hesitation, she s
Soon, Minx heard footsteps headed her way, it was Gina holding her phone in her hands. Minx thought that she wanted to give it back but she was shocked when she heard Gabriel’s voice over the phone, he had called her.“Minx, are you there? Minx?” Gabriel said. He was probably wondering why she did not say a word even after answering the call. And after a while, he hung up.“Give my phone back!” Minx thundered. “Perhaps, he could be the push you require to grant us access. The thing is, I could be wrong and you will be free to roam the earth with your baby but if I am not, then there is a problem. Just let us check first, how stubborn can you really be?” Gina said as she held Minx’s face.“You do not have to do this, aunt. I am your niece, your family yet you hunt me down like a wild animal and wish to kill my offspring. I cannot understand what you are going through or what kind of deal you have made with whoever but trust me, it’s not worth it.” Minx tried to explain things to Gina,
“Hey, mom. Do you know any of grandma Diana’s friends or anyone that was involved in witchcraft too?” Peter asked casually, he did not want to raise his mom’s suspicion or give room for her endless questions.“Yes, I do. But why? I find it rather confusing that you have developed a sudden concern for your grandma Diana’s interests.” Peter’s mother said, raising a brow in suspicion.“Uhhh… yeah, I’m working on this article, you know how crazy it can be. I would just like to interview a few of them, that’s all.” Peter said with a nervous chuckle.“If it isn’t about your crazy science…” Peter’s mother said as she directed her focus back to the movie she was seeing on TV.“So where can I find them?” Peter asked her as he drew closer to where she sat, smiling sheepishly like he just got accepted by his long-time lover.“Well, last time I heard, there were at Boston.” Peter’s mother said.“Where grandma used to live?” Peter said.“Yes,” Peter’s mother said.“And I thought those people that
Peter finally arrived in Boston, it was not difficult to locate where the witches were, it was his grandmother’s house after all and he had visited a lot of times with his parents and a few times alone. Diana died a few years after Peter’s father.Peter got to the house, it was exactly how he remembered it; a simple bungalow in the center of the compound, directly opposite the gate, the first house he saw immediately after he walked in through the gate belonged to Diana. The rest were inhabited by her fellow witches, whom Peter thought to be his distant relatives.Sometimes, Peter referred to her as “Grandma Diana”, just very few times that he acknowledged her as his grand aunt. “Hello, Peter,” Wendy said with a wide grin on seeing Peter looking around the compound in a confused manner.“Aunt Wendy!” Peter said as he rushed to hug her. A woman, probably in her late 50s, she was a bit robust and wasn’t very tall. She also had brown hair with gray ones scattered in little populations.
First of all, West knew that he was wrong to link himself to Wendy and the other witches without their consent, he wanted to explain things but that was not the time.He wanted to pull out of the spell, because, why not? This is the same assignment that Roman asked him to do and now, he was aiding someone else, what if it was for Elijah? But, there was still a way around it, no matter what West did, Roman never considered returning his child to him, maybe he had already killed her, if that were the case, it would hurt West to find out but it would also help him let go of his endless longing for his daughter, he was not able to even hold her when she was born, it has been fifteen years already.If West helped them, Roman would never find out and even if he learns of Darin’s healing, he would not be able to trace it back to West even if he tasked him with it, a simple denial would do the trick. Perhaps it was time to stand up for his family, he decided to join them, not minding if the
“I’m going to Seattle,” Gabriel announced as he packed his bags. Gordon just sat there watching him. “Minx is in danger and I need to save her, I mean if I don’t, who will?” Gabriel said to himself. He expected Gordon to say something, encourage him to go after her or dissuade him his decision.“Are you not going to say anything?” Gabriel paused and asked Gordon.“Well… Your mind has been made up, nothing I say or do will make you change your mind or even make you stop to think about what you are about to do.” Gordon said as he belched loudly. He was a mess at the moment.“Then, support me. You know that you cannot stop me, then come with me. Each time I call Minx to check on her, it’s her aunt’s voice I hear and it makes me scared for what she must have done to Minx and my child.” Gabriel said.“Well, easy there. You may want to bring your voice down now unless you have decided to let everyone in on your little secret.” Gordon cautioned.“I’m sure you understand how I feel right now
Minx ran and ran until her legs could not carry her any longer, she also feared for her child’s wellbeing, running with such intensity would not do them much good as she did not have any food to eat. She rested against a giant oak tree, she was sure that she was far away from Gina and it would take Gina some time to find her.Minx was very hungry and tired but she was more concerned for her baby, with the little strength she had left, she trailed farther off into the woods to find fruits that she could eat.She was lucky to find a berry tree, she plucked some of it and ate, she kept eating lots and lots of them until she had her full. She went back to the oak tree to rest and soon fell asleep.After a while sleeping, she heard distant voices coming toward her direction, she wanted to wake up to see who it was but her eyes were too heavy but as the voices came closer, she jerked up as she recognized Gina’s.“She should not be far from here, the shuriken can sense her.” Gina said.“Wh
