“Peter, I beg you. Please, listen to me, I’m only trying to protect you. West is a powerful witch and he won’t back down without a fight. You won’t win, Peter, your grandmother asked me to protect you, please, help me to help you.” Wendy pleaded but it all fell on deaf ears.“I called to ask if you know any witch who is a time walker. Darin and I are working on something.” Peter said, ignoring all that Wendy said.“Why won’t you listen to me? What do you want with the vampire? Just hand him over! West will find you and when he does, I cannot help you then.” Wendy said.“He won’t find me if you don’t tell him where I am. So, it’s up to you.” Peter said.“You never listen, Peter. Why do you love endangering your life? You are making things difficult for me. Please, just listen for once.” Wendy said.“I’m sorry, aunt Wendy. But please, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’m sure that West or whatever you call him wants nothing good with Darin. I took the risk of healing him and you just
Gabriel and Gordon struggled with all their might and skills but they could not beat William, he was always a step ahead.They fought and fought until they exhausted all their energy.“You are the King, Uncle William. I swear my allegiance to you.” Gordon said. Gabriel and William laughed.“You two are getting better. Gabriel gave me a cut on my arm.” William said as he rolled up his sleeve to reveal the injury he sustained.“I wanted to do more.” Gabriel said as he fell to the ground.“And you will, consistency is all you need. A tine will come when you would be able to defend yourselves properly but till then, I’ll keep taking the victory.” William said and walked away leaving them panting heavily on the soft green grass.“We will never be able to beat him, will we?” Gordon said.“Don’t answer that,” he added.As they lay on the grass, they saw Seth approach them, and immediately, they got up and cleaned themselves up.“Good morning, dad” Gabriel said.“Good morning, uncle Seth.”
“I’m pleased to meet you, Minx. How’re you?” Seth said.“I’m fine, thank you, sir. This place is very beautiful.” Minx replied with a big smile. Gabriel had arranged a picnic in one of the finest spots in the town. Minx was seated next to Gabriel and Seth, opposite.Seth was glad that Minx agreed to meet up with him, he tried to be as accommodating as possible so as not to scare her away, besides, his intentions toward her were pure.“How’s the baby doing?” Seth said as his eyes trailed down to her protruding belly.“Oh, he’s fine.” Minx said as she placed her hand on her belly and smiled.“How do you know it’s a boy?” Seth said and smiled briefly.“A witch doctor told me.” Minx said.“Okay, that’s nice.” Seth said. But from the look on his face, it was obvious that he was not comfortable with the witch doctor thingy. Minx noticed this and tried to explain further.“It’s normal, more like a tradition. Just to know the sex of the unborn child, I know it’s possible with technology but
“When will you bring Darin to me? Is it possible to really possible to raise someone from the dead?” Roman said.“Nothing is impossible. All I need is the right spell, I’m waiting for the book to come to me.” West lied. He was stalling because he was still trying to locate Peter. There was no way he could do a locator spell because he had never seen Peter nor did he possess any of his belongings.“What book?” Roman said.“Oh, it’s a book of spells, mostly ancient spells. It goes to each witch in the city, it stays for a certain period and then goes to another. Witches should stay in colonies to reduce the duration of the cycle.” West explained.“That’s cool. I can exercise a little patience till it gets here, but I hope it can do what you say it can.” Roman said.“Yes, your highness.” West said and was dismissed.West did not know how else to blackmail Wendy into giving Peter’s location up. He had tried several means but to no avail. He had given Roman his word and he better keep to
“I know I’ve been hard on you. And I know that you are aware of how much I love you. You know how much your father and I waited to have you and you know how much we cherish you.” Daisy said. She turned off the television and turned toward Gabriel sitting right beside her.“I was so angry at you because you did not understand the gravity of what you had done. But now, I understand that mistakes happen, and getting angry over them is not going to fix it or make it any better. This opened a wound that I thought had become a scar, you know the story, I don’t want to tell it again.“Your father wants to do right by Minx and I know you want that too. I remember how your father’s people were against our union, I hated it and I swore that I would never act like that toward my child. But here I am, refusing to accept your child, I have let the anger and bitterness in me stop me from fulfilling the promise I made to myself.“I’m sorry, Gabriel. I agree with your father, we should do right by Mi
“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
