“You what? I can’t accept that, there has to be another way out of this. There has to be another answer. She wants Jordan, she can have him! All it takes is for Jordan to come a few inches close to her and she’s done for.” Seth yelled.West and Wendy were petrified to the core. They had never seen Seth so angry before, so angry that even Daisy could not calm him down. Wendy was starting to regret why she listened to West and agreed to tell Seth about their plan. According to her, they would have just carried on with the plan and told him later. But that would be worse.“Well, come on, say something! Don’t just stand there looking, you have to fix this mess you are about to create. My son will not become a vampire or anything close and you would not use any barbaric means to save him. If he can’t, just let him die, at least, I’d be rest assured that he died a noble death.” Seth said.“Seth! What has gotten over you? How can you say such words about our son? He’s not dead yet but you a
“So, what can you do?” Seth said.Wendy furrowed her brows as she watched West intently. She wondered what he wanted to tell Seth; he didn’t mention anything of that manner to her.“It must be an ancient vampire. If you at study the cases of those people that lost themselves, it’s because they were turned by normal vampires, not the ancient ones.” West said.“Okay… What exactly are you driving at?” Seth said.“I mean that the only ancient vampire we know is Darin and we can have him do this for us.” West said.“Now, I’m certain that you are delusional. How am I sure that this absurd plan is not yours? None of it even sounds believable. How can you bring a dead man, a man you killed yourself back to life to do this? If you have nothing else to say, please leave my quarters. I’d like to rest.” Seth said dismissively but West stood there, he didn’t move a muscle. He had something to say and they were going to hear him out whether they wanted to or not. He was willing to do everything in
“Were you able to do it? Did it work?” West said.“Hold on a little bit, it takes time.” Dr. Bennett said.“This has to work. There is no other way. You should have seen how long and hard it took us to convince Seth to agree to this.” Wendy said.“Wait. He agreed? I thought we agreed not to tell him until it’s done.” Dr. Bennett said.“It was West’s other idea. He called it a violation of identity or what nonsense he said. I could not convince him to stick to our plan. The next thing I knew, we were both in Seth’s quarters telling him everything.” Wendy said and rolled her eyes.“Oh okay. I’m glad you guys decided to leave me out of it. I’m pretty sure that Seth yelled at the top of his voice.” Dr. Bennett said with a sigh.“I can imagine the echoes of his voice and something tells me that he is going to yell again but this time, at me. I have found the cure. It’s gonna work. Dr. Bennett said.West and Wendy wondered why Dr. Bennett wasn’t smiling. He had finally found the cure so wha
“So, how’s it gonna be? The men are here. The earlier we begin, the better for Gabriel.” Seth said to West and Wendy who were at a corner talking.“We’ll be with you shortly, we just need to have a good plan.” West said.Just as they were waiting, William and Dr. Bennett carried Gabriel’s body into the room.“What’s that smell?” Seth said as he turned around and saw William and Dr. Bennett carrying Gabriel’s body. Why did you bring him here?” Seth said as he saw them drop his body on the ground.“I just want to tell you that there’s no more time. His body is starting to decay, he’s dying really. We need to act fast or else we will lose him.” Dr. Bennett said.“That right. We have few hours left, it’s now or never.” West said.West and Wendy finished their talk and went to the part of the room where they mapped out for the ritual.“Take off your shirts and lay on the spots mapped out, all ten of you.” West said.With immediate effect, the men took their shirts off and lay on the groun
“Now, that sounds more like it.” Yvette said with a smile and turned to face West.“But no, it’s either two or nothing. Give us a body, we can’t just be trapped in Limbo. This means that we have unfinished business, if not, we would be on the other side. Grant us this request and you’ll have Darin’s poison.” Yvette said.West and Seth were so frustrated, neither of them knew what to say or do to make Yvette give them an easy pass. Why would she? West stabbed Darin right in her presence and made it look like she was the one. At that moment, Yvette swore to get back at West, she didn’t know how but she kept waiting and finally, today, West opened Limbo and tried to conjure Darin but she came out instead.“Please, Yvette. We need to save Gabriel, he did nothing wrong to you. I’m the one who wronged you, I should be the one to be punished, not him. Please help me to help him and I promise to do whatever you ask of me, of course, except stealing a body for you.” West said.“You, him, anyo
Mom, mom, look at that!” Minx said in surprise as she saw the mandrake mod from the place where her mother had kept it.“What do you think? Should we burn it or watch what is gonna happen?” Mrs. Jackson said as she held Minx in her arms, reluctant to move a muscle. She was consoling her for the cut she gave her to remove the mandrake from her body.“Let’s watch where it goes.” Mind said. She was quite curious about it and got off the bed to follow it. She watched it as it squirmed around the room before leaving the room. It squirmed round everywhere in the house as though it were lost it looking for something.“You mean that this thing was in my body?” Minx looked at it with utmost disgust as it left trails of blood on the floor.“Yes, I think Penelope has summoned you and I think it is looking for Gabriel.” Mrs. Jackson said.“I’m so glad you took out this rubbish when you did. Thanks, mom. I can’t imagine that in my body.” Minx said.“I guess we should just burn it. Is there any nee
“It’s so good to have you back. Hope you feel better.” Daisy said as she ran her fingers through his hair.“Mom, I’m fine. You’re acting like I’m 5.” Gabriel said with a slight chuckle. Daisy would kids his face now and then and even looked at him with adorable eyes as though she could pour all her love and affection on him.“That’s right, Daisy. The boy’s now a man, stop treating him like a child.” Seth said to back Gabriel up but Daisy didn't mind the both of them, she continued to hold Gabriel in her bosom while she thanked her lucky stars for bringing Gabriel back to health without having to become a vampire.“Mom, I haven’t seen Minx yet. The last thing I remember was getting stabbed while I was trying to save her.” Gabriel said and paused for a short while as he furrowed his brows.“Is Minx okay? Where’s she? I’d like to see her.” Gabriel said as he sprang up from the bed immediately.“Can you relax? Minx is at her mother’s house, she’s been there for two days, and she’s fine. D
“Jordan? Are you okay? What’s the matter? Where’s your friend?” Seth said. Jordan was utterly silent, he didn’t say a word or act like Seth was talking to him. Seth’s heart sank on seeing Jordan like that.“I know you are in control of his body, leave him alone!” Seth shouted as he shook Jordan violently.“Grandpa! It’s just me. She’s not here.” Jordan said.These words gave him a lot of relief and he took a deep breath. Oliver rushed in at this point. Seth noticed that something was off with Jordan, even though he said that Yvette didn’t steal his body, there was something wrong, he didn’t seem as cheerful as he used to be.“So where is she then? Where did she go?” Seth said.“Grandpa? I… I think I killed her… but I didn’t mean to, I was just trying to stop her, she removed my pendant so that she could gain access and while I was trying to stop her, she fell on the ground, she was not moving and was not breathing either. I just stood there watching her and suddenly she disappeared.”
