“I’ll take care of Minx for you, I hope you keep in touch.” Seth said.“Thanks, dad. I’ll definitely keep in touch. Where’s mom?” Gabriel said as he looked around and did not see any sign of his mother anywhere.“She is upstairs. She said she can’t bring herself to say goodbye.” Seth said.“Oh mom, does she always have to be like this? She knew I would grow up one day, why didn’t she prepare?” Gabriel said.“Shut up and get your ass upstairs and say goodbye to your mom.” Gordon said.Gabriel reluctantly went upstairs to their quarters and saw his mother lying on the bed. He hoped she wasn't crying because he had no words of consolation for her, he too would miss her dearly but he would surely return during the holidays.“Mom, why didn’t you come down to say goodbye to me?” Gabriel said as he sat on the bed and used his hands to clean the tears that dropped from her eyes. What he feared the most was upon him.“How am I supposed to do that? You’re leaving and I can’t do anything about i
“Thanks, Tess for taking me in. Even after all I did to you.” Gina said.“It’s alright. You have to eat something and then take a hot bath. I’ll prepare it now.” Mrs. Jackson said as she left Gina in the living room and went to the kitchen.Mr. Jackson strode to the living room and was shocked on seeing Gina lying on the couch.“Darling, what’s she doing here?” Mr. Jackson said.“Oh, uhhh… We will talk about this later, it’s an emergency. I have to fix breakfast.” Mrs. Jackson said hurriedly.“Good morning.” Gina managed to say.Mr. Jackson did not reply to her greetings and went straight to Minx’s room to check on her.“Are you okay?” Mr. Jackson said.“I don’t know what she’s doing here but she best is on her way. I can’t be under the same roof with her.” “Don’t worry, I’ll fix this.” Mr. Jackson said.…“You have to believe me, I was under the influence of the high priestess. I would never try to hurt you on purpose, Minx. I’m sorry Tess, I failed you.” Gina said.Minx found it v
“Seriously? A protection spell? Turns out it isn’t enough to hide them.” One of the men said as he grabbed Minx and the other grabbed Gina.They had already rendered Mrs. Jackson unconscious that the protection spell weakened.“Let go of me! Let go of me!” Minx screamed as she struggled to get out of his grasp.“I’m the one you want, just take me and leave her alone. She has done nothing to deserve this, she’s pregnant for crying out loud!” Gina screamed and immediately, a mighty wind from nowhere rushed into the house and blew them all away. Gina fell to the ground when it stopped, she was very weak.Minx hit her head on the bed and was bleeding slightly while Mrs. Jackson woke up and contained Gina and Minx in the room again with a protection spell.Luckily, Mr. Jackson came into the house and together , he and his wife drove the men away. In fact, the men were terrified by Gina’s abilities and it did not take much effort for to chase the men out of the house.“Are you okay?” Gina m
“She has moved on and it’s okay. I understand.” Gordon said.“Are you serious? And you still want to see her? That’s torture, man.” Gabriel said.“I have already accepted the invitation. They are having their bonfire night this weekend. We have to be there, besides, I would like to see who she chose over me.” Gordon said with a slight chuckle before leaving for the bathroom.Gabriel knew he was not okay but since he insisted that they went to New York to see Amanda, fine.Gabriel was so tired to do anything else, so he just closed his eyes and allowed the darkness to take over.…“We can still join in the tour, you know.” Gabriel said as he drank the tea from his cup.“Nope, New York. We can always go on the tour together. Besides, we would be here for a long time, there’s plenty of time to take a tour whenever we please.” Gordon said.“The bonfire is tomorrow, that’s when we’re going.” Gordon said.“You looked it up? That’s cool. I thought you were not interested.” Gordon said.“Well
“I’m glad I managed to convince you to come with me.” Gordon said as they got into the car.“This is gonna be a long drive, right?” Gabriel said.“Not really…” Gordon said. His excitement was boldly inscribed on his face, he could not help but smile from time to time.The drive took about three hours before they arrived at New York and in no time, they got to NYU.“Where are you guys? I can’t see you.” Amanda said over the phone.“Oh, I can see you just fine, just remain where you are.” Gordon said as he approached her. Gabriel was reluctantly following him from behind.“Where are you?” Amanda said. She was already getting excited as she looked to her left and right but could not see any sign of them.“Boo!” Gordon shouted as he held her from behind.“Oh my God! You’re here!” Amanda screamed and jumped into Gordon’s arms. Gordon held her in his warm embrace and kissed her cheeks before spreading the kiss to the other parts of her face.“You’ve become more beautiful, Amanda. Look at yo
“You should know better than try to outsmart me. Did you never think that I would find out? I’m always a thousand steps ahead.” Roman said.“Please, your highness, spare my life. I…. I it was a mistake. I… I di-didn’t mean to deceive you. I’m sorry, I thought I could do it but he’s far gone. He has transcended beyond the threshold.” West said.“You keep lying, making me look like a fool! Bring his whore.” Roman said.“Please, please leave her out of this. She is all I have.” West cried as he groveled before Roman. He had already been whipped several strokes that he bled but he still kept pleading.All of West’s pleads fell on deaf ears. Roman was determined to punish him.“Oh, there she is. How beautiful” Roman said as he caressed West's wife’s face.“Please, punish me. Kill me if you want, just let her be.” West pleaded again but Roman acted like no one was there.“Babe, what’s going on? What did you do?” Aurora gasped on seeing West on the floor with his body mercilessly injured. At
Three days earlier…“Will you keep to your promise?” West said.“My word is my bond. I will help you, just leave already.” Wendy said.“I can’t, not now. He expects me to show him the book once it arrives. I used it to buy myself some time to look for Darin.” West said.“Why would you do something that stupid? You know it’s gonna be here in the coven for a whole month. The longer you remain there, the more your life and that of your wife is endangered.” Wendy said.“I’ll try. Maybe tomorrow night, I and my wife will leave here for good. Hope we can come and stay with you guys.” West said.“You are always welcome. West, you are doing the right thing.” Wendy said.“Thank you, I needed to hear that.” West said.“So where is the book?” Roman said.West froze on hearing this. “How long has he been standing there? How much did he hear?” West thought to himself.“Uhhh…. It’s not my turn yet. I’m not due until next month, we wait till then.” West said.“Or, Or I could go to Wendy’s coven and
“Let the show begin,” Roman said.“I’m sure you will enjoy this. Next time, you will be wiser in your decision-making.” Roman added.“But look at the stage, the lighting is perfect, the space is grand enough for the show and the distance from the stage to the ground is not so much. I chose this theatre so that you can hold your wife before her last breath.” Roman said.“That’s very thoughtful.” West said and smiled.“Are you not too excited for someone whose wife is about to be executed in the most gruesome of ways?” Roman said.“I live to serve you. However you want me to be, I will be. Do you wish to see me cry?” West said.“Uhh… Save your tears, it would do you no good.” Roman said.West just nodded and smiled. He seemed excited to watch his wife die and that’s exactly what Roman wanted. He dared not to look sad.The curtain was drawn up and some men came matching in with Aurora. Her hands were tied to her back and her mouth was stuffed with clothes so that she would not speak or s
