I gulped, "Why would you want to do that, when you could just easily pour yourself a glass of wine." I laughed nervously, gulping down a huge amount of my own spittle."Because it would taste better on your lips." He grinned. He stands up from where he is seated on the mat, walked around the mat to where i'm seated then knelt down with one knee in front of me.My eyes were glued to him, watching him. He caressed my cheeks with his palm softly, his breath ragged and loud, so loud it resonated around the cabin. "I love you so much. Anastasia." He whispered, closing in on my lips. My breathe hitched, I paused. "Kiss me back." He groaned biting my lower lips, bringing me out of my trance-like taste. I wrapped my arms around his back, returning his kiss with so much vigor. Our tongues lashing out.. at one another's. He pulled me closer with his hands, till there was no space in between the both of us. Not even an any could pass in between. Our bodies almost one.

"Aunt Maria, Uncle Mateo. Pleasss, help me." I looked at them pleadingly, my heart aching for their help. "Ana... Ana... Ana... pl..." Christian tries talking but only ended up coughing out blood."No. No Christian, do not say anything. Please you have to save your strength. You have to live." I caressed his face lovingly, my eyes clouded with tears. I had to wipe the tears from my eyes, so I could stare at his handsome face."Ana..." He tried calling."I'm here Christian, and I'm not going anywhere. Please stop talking." He opened his mouth to talk once more, but before he could.. his eyes went close."Christian! Christian!! No, no, no please no." I took a hold of his wrist in fear, to check his pulse. I felt so relieved when I still felt a pulse, although it's so weak, I need to help him."He isn't dead yet aunt, please help me." "Let him die Anastasia. Please." My uncle clasped his hands in front of his face pleadingly. How can he ask me to let the man I love die. The man I thou
"Great god Apollo, god of Medicine and Healing,Hear this servant's prayer.Heal him ohh god of medicine.Touch him and heal him.Make your servant well with your cleansingtouch.Heal him, Make him well." I chanted my hands placed on Christian's chest, my eyes shut closed... I imagined his inner chest been repaired and made whole. I chanted the mantra three more times, then I heard Christian cough. I opened my eyes immediately, it worked. Christian is healed."Why, am I alive? Is this... is this heaven." He questioned staring at his hands. "If this is indeed heaven, do you really think I would also be in it?" I questioned, smiling broadly."I guess not. I hope not." He utters. I chuckled. "Well, I stopped you from dying." He sat up in one swift movement, having a look of shock. "You saved me?" "Yes I did." I answered."You shouldn't have Anastasia. Why would you do that!" He yelled standing up.I stood up also, having a look of disbelief. "Why wouldn't I? I saw you thrust a kni
"Great-Gran was a man of honor and a great leader to every single member of this clan. He would be greatly missed and loved amongst us. His death came as a shock to us all but today.. we bid him farewell into the land of the dead." Sir Frederick who I can also call the bishop of the clan said in a loud voice. (He is more like the most spiritual person in the clan).Sir Frederick stepped aside and I, my aunt and my uncle knelt down beside the flowing water. I held a vase in my hands, it contains great-gran ashes... I opened the vase then as I poured the ashes into the water, my uncle, my aunt and me started chanting.... "It is time to leave this world and journey into a greater world,There is nothing here for you now, So you must go. Go now, go complete your passing,Go, and with our blessing fare well.Farewell." I poured the remnant of the ashes in the water then stood up. "Today is not a day of sorrow, so we should continue in our happiness... Great-Gran wouldn't like to be the
"What's going on mother?" Christian asked his mum anxiously as we rushed over to the door of the mansion. "I can't explain it Christian. It is beyond my understanding. Come with me." Mrs Grey replied equally anxious and eager. She led us into the mansion taking us straight to the hall. Right from the door of the mansion I could tell whatever was going on in the clan, is big and dangerous. Women were running around, kids were crying. The whole place was just so hectic and in chaos.Walking into the hall I realize the chaos I was met with earlier, was in fact just a smaller one. The one inside the hall is much more bigger. Sick men laying down on mats, some of them looking so dried up, some were covered with white clothes. I am presuming those once are dead.Mrs Grey knelt down in front of one of the sick men... I noticed the man had a bucket besides him. At first I wondered what was the use of the bucket, but soon enough my curiosity was satisfied. The sick man sat up abruptly co
I would love to think this through but just as terror had said, time isn't really on my side to do that. They could have lost another clan man right now, so I can't delay my decision."Fine. I will you give my power, but that's after I cure the clan men." I said with a made up mind."Now that's a right choice. But how would I know, you are going to keep to your words?" He raised an eyebrow, staring at me suspiciously."Why don't we have a witch pact then." I suggested. A witch pact is more like an oath, a witch can't go back on... Once the pact is done and seal, there's no breaking it... If I do, then I die."Fine by me." Terror replied shrugging.*****Christian's POV:"Why isn't she coming back?" Maria asked pacing around worriedly."We just need to be patient with her. I'm sure she will come back soon and end this." I said trying to pacify her."I don't think we have the time to be patient. We just lost two men, and we might loose another in the next few minutes.. hopefully not sec
"All you have to do is close your eyes and I will take care of the rest." Terror said to me, and I did as he instructed. He takes a hold of my hand, murmured some words that I had no idea of it's meaning... Then he drew some lines on my palm.I felt it, I felt it just the way I had felt it when Arkalis passed on his powers to me. But this time it was different, I felt a surged of power leaving my body. Terror took everything, every single ounce of power in my body... I felt empty. "Well that's it, it was nice doing business with you Miss witch. See you later." He winked at me then disappeared. "I hope not " I muttered to myself staring at the empty space before me. *****TWO WEEKS LATER*****It's been two weeks, a week of endless nightmare, avoiding Christian and his clan. It's been a tiresome week."Ana! Ana! Miss Anastasia." The distant yelling of my name resounding in my ear, brought me out of my deep thinking.I was met with the angry eyes of my history teacher, Mister Peters. A
"I can't let you do this." Mrs Tabitha opposed strongly of my idea on how I want to fight Abaddon. "I wasn't asking for anybody's permission . This is my decision to make and my mind is made up on it." I replied deadpan not backing down from her piercing gaze."If things go south and Abaddon ends up defeating you in there, you would end up dead." Sir Adalard muttered worriedly."But if I end up winning, I would put an end to Abaddon's reign." I retorts."That is a big if right there, Ana." Uncle Mateo mumbles under his breathe. I sighed. "I really... really do need you guys to trust me on this. I know I can defeat Abaddon this way. I just know it." "I believe in her." Christian voiced out, squeezing my hand. I smiled at him thankfully."Fine. We would all trust you on this then." Sir Adalard resigns."No I don't. I am not part of the we." Mrs Tabitha voiced."I know you are worried that you would loose her, just like you lost Amelia, but you have to trust your granddaughter on thi
I was in the year 15 BC again or probably before that. How did I know? The horses, the dressing style and of course everything in particular."You are not in the past, this is more like a dream. Your dream." Arkalis voice came from behind me."How and why are you in my dream?" I raised an eyebrow staring at him attentively wondering if this is another mind game of Abaddon."Because I'm dead and there's something I want to show you. Something I never knew of while I was alive." He answered walking past me.I stood still watching him leave... "I am not Abaddon and this isn't a mind trick, so hurry up student." Arkalis yelled. Even if it's Abaddon what do I have to loose following him?I hurried off to where Arkalis was standing, then walked by his side."Is this a palace?" I asked as Arkalis came to an halt Infront of a really big gate, the guards standing watch gave it away."Nope, it's a house with palace guards in it, cause the king was really generous enough to lend some of his gu
“Lucas, how can it be Lucas? I can’t believe he killed my daughter and framed Reeve.” Mrs Tabitha utters in shock pacing my tiny room. Finding out Lucas is terror isn’t really completely shocking to me, not like I knew the man so well… I’m just glad Abaddon isn’t really someone close to me. I should have suspected him, he laughed just like terror, and also read my mind with ease. Wait, Lucas knew the witches would try to hide me in the safe house so he changed into a pink haired girl and made sure I stepped out. So he controlled those teachers to leave. Wow. He wants to end me, but before he those that I should end him. I should think of a way to use this new found information to my own benefit. I think I have the perfect plan, it should work.“I have a plan on how we could stop Abaddon, but we might need some help. How much do you trust the elders?” I asked staring at her determined. “With my life.” She replied without hesitation.“Then we need to call for a meeting.” *******
"Christian!!" I yelled out waking up from my deep slumber."Hey.. shhhh. It's okay, I got you." Christian whispered calming me down. I took notice of my surroundings... I'm in my room back in hudrats, my head is currently on Christian's thighs and we are not alone. Mrs Rowena and Mrs Tabitha are both here.I stared out the window and it's sunny outside. I must have slept for about six hours, seeing it's sunny outside."Thank goodness you are awake, I was so worried." Mrs Rowena said worriedly hastily drawing her stool closer to the bed, she takes my hands and rubs affectionately."What were you thinking going out there Anastasia! You knew very clearly that you do not have your powers and without them you can't protect yourself. If Christian hadn't come right on time, you had be dead." Mrs Tabitha lashed at me, her eyes holding anger and what seem to be worry."Tabitha! The girl just woke up." Mrs Rowena exclaimed in disbelief."The dragon... Christian.. how?" I thought it was all a d
“What??? How is that even possible. This is HUDRATS! He can’t waltz his way into here.” Rowena throws her hands up in the air in shock.“Well he is already here and most of the teachers are already trying to stop him, so we need to get going Rowena those teachers won’t be able to hold him down.” Gunther said trying to catch his breathe. “What about Adalard and the rest?” Rowena asked walking towards the door. I followed.“Already sent some teachers to go get him and the others.” Gunther replied.I was about following Rowena out the door of the kitchen when she came to an halt, she turns around and stared at me. “You can’t come Anastasia.” Rowena pats me on the shoulder sadly. “I can’t just stay in here. Maybe a face off with Abaddon is what I need to bring back my power. Please Rowena, I should be out there fighting.” I argued, my eyes pleading.“And what if you don’t get your powers back?” She raised an eyebrow. “I…” I was about arguing further but she stopped me with a hush. “I
Britney’s POV:“Please tell me that man “is” the last man.” I said to Carl, fanning my face with my bare hand. I feel so tired and hungry. If my house wasn’t destroyed I would really love to soak my tired self in my bathtub, or go for a dip in the swimming pool.“Yup, that’s the last.” Carl replied folding a big poly bag. I accompanied Mrs Maria and some young men from the clan about my age, to hand out incentives to the people affected by the earthquake. Most of this people lost their homes, jobs, families and a lot more. Mrs Maria can’t give them back their lives and so handing out food, clothes, bed and a warm blanket is all we could do. If witches were to go around the world repairing broken earth, houses, companies and all.. that would be one suspicious movement and also there’s not a lot of those witches to even help with the movement. “We should head back to the van.” Carl suggested. I would love to step back and just admire this young fineeeee man standing in-front of me,
"It's all chaos Ana, everywhere and everyone is in chaos out here. Where the fuck are you cause I need help to get out of here!" Britney yelling voice comes through my phone speaker the second I answered her call."Calm down Britney, I will come get you right away. But first tell me where you are." I spoke into the phone softly."I'm my house, where else would I be?" She replied sounding agitated."Okay Britney, I need you step outside your house, that way... if there's any earth quake about happening you could avoid it." I instructed her. "Okay, okay. I'm going outside, any other thing I should know?" I could picture her nodding to my every words, her hands tightened around her phone like her life depended on it. "Stay put and stay safe. I will come get you right away." I hung up, turned around ready to leave the clans mansion in other to go save my best friend."I'm coming with you." Christian said bringing me to an halt. I turned around, "you can't." "Why not?" He challenged."
"Long ago, there was a demon called Abaddon. Abaddon is the keeper of hell, he is called the destroyer and the bringer of terror. Abaddon life's goal was to bring hell on earth for humans and the only thing that could stop him was dragon's breath. And this is were Arkalis comes in. In other to stop Abaddon from destroying earth and merging it with hell, he had to create your forefathers... the dragon." Mrs Maria paused."So you are telling me... that war wasn't between kings like it was told?" I asked shocked."Yes. It was between Abaddon and your forefathers. The dragon's breathe, couldn't kill Abaddon it could only separates Abaddon powers from his body and that gem contained his powers . With the little power he still had in him, Abaddon was able to disappear never to be heard from again." Mrs Maria narrates. "And what happened to the Gem?" I asked crossing and uncrossing my legs patiently."It was placed in a hidden location, that even the elders know nothing about. And this is
"How could you've kept this from me. The entire clan, yes! But me, why?" Christian exclaimed pacing around the cabin. Christian didn't leave earlier when I actually thought he did. Instead, he drove out of the woods and waited for me. Since he suspected I didn't have my powers anymore, he knew if his suspicions were in anyway true I would walk out of the woods. If I had my powers, I wouldn't be walking instead I would have just disappeared and appeared back in my house. I had tried to argue and Lie to his face again, but he wasn't having any of my lies so I came clean."I knew you would refuse me from doing so and I can't lose you Christian. I can't watch you die." I cried out standing up from the armchair. He came to a halt sighing, rubbing his forehead tiredly... "OK I get it you didn't have a choice. But this terror you gave your powers to, isn't he the same person who tried to kill you back in the past?""He... he is the one." I stuttered staring at the ceiling, avoiding hi
