“Who are you?”

I sighed and bowed lightly in submission, it wouldn't be any good to be misunderstood by Leader Atrix's protectors.

“Greetings, sisters, please do not misunderstand my coming here. I have come not to harm but seek the welfare of Leader Atrix-”

“-How are we supposed to believe you? Many people are worried for Leader Atrix but not many dares to step foot around this vicinity” Sister Nelix said boldly.

Nelix used to be like me, a disciple under Leader Atrix. She was very bright and knew almost everything, it was no wonder she became qualified to serve and protect Leader Atrix. With her fast reflexes, she could protect Atrix well. 

“What Nelix said makes sense, many people are worried about leader Atrix but no one dares come here except the council, could be from the council by any chance? You look posh, charismatic, wise and com

    “Ziyah, is anything the matter? Is Draco alright?”I asked Ziyah as soon as I arrived at Ice cave.Ziyah sighed and nodded, “Just that he was really sad. He said you don't care about him and all sorts of nonsense.”I ran my hand through my hair, “What sorts of nonsense did he utter?”I knew it. Sooner or later that kid would misunderstand me. He was too naive. I smiled. What was I thinking? Draco was just a kid, of course he was naive.“Well.. master.. he said you were a bad witch, you're allowed to use your powers but whenever he uses his he's forced to sleep or eat alone in the cave.. H-he also said he.. he'd rather live with his father than you”That was it. I was pissed.“That prick!” I cursed and marched into the cave, “Draco!” “Draco, come out here!”Ziyah follo

    “Do you perhaps have a poison with the below symptoms?” I asked the sister sitting over the counter, uninterested in what I had to say.“In this store, we only sell poisons for sturbbon rats, pests and terminates. Why would we bother to understand the symptoms they exhibit before dying?” She popped a gum in her mouth and started chewing loudly.I sighed and looked over the poisons, none of them looked like what I was looking for. But I wouldn't give up, I leaned closer to the woman over the counter and said in a low tone, “How about poisons that can kill a witch, huh?”The woman eyes widened and I put a peal on the table, right in front of her.“It'll be secret between the both of us, I promise.” I said with a wink.She sighed and nodded hesitantly while putting the pearl in her pocket.“Fine.” she looked over the sheet in

    I travelled back to Ice cave quickly and Draco ran to hug me immediately he spotted me.“Mom I'm so glad you came back. Has leader Atrix been cured yet? Are we finally going to meet Dad?”I patted Draco's head, “Atrix hasn't been cured yet. The reason I came is because someone is suspicious about you. That's why I have to send you to your father quickly. Then I'll come back to sort things out after making sure you're safe.”Draco smiled and nodded quickly, “So we're leaving now?” Draco asked.“Yes. It'll only take an hour to reach the end of the border. We'll take a boat from there and go to the seven hells realm. We have to do so quietly as I will be punished if I am found out.”Draco put his small finger against his lips, “Yes. I'll be quiet so mother doesn't get punished.”I nodded and kissed Draco's forehead.

    It was dawn when I returned to Crescent moon. Thankfully, there seemed to be no problem.I went back to Ice cave to sleep and meditate. After last night, my emotions were a wreck and I had black circles under my eyes due to lack of sleep and tears.After a few hours, I felt more energetic but I still had dark circles under my eyes so I had to cover it with thick make-up.Then I decided to go to Leader Atrix's cottage. The crew that interrogated me when I first came here welcomed me, but this time they were more welcoming.Then I noticed Nelix wasn't here. It seemed she really was serious about getting in the council for her to even stop guarding Leader Atrix.“Hello, Sister Beauty” Lot said with a curtesy bow. I bowed back politely, “Hello Brother Lot, you look grand today.” I said and saw Lot cheeks darken and turn into a deep shade of pink.“May I beg to see

    When my eyes opened I was wearing a long dress with a huge coat, a quilt around me and I was laying near the fireplace.I felt better. And my breath was so much better but then I remembered what Ziyah did.“Master I made you a nourishing soup, please have some” Ziyah said while moving closer to me. Immediately she was near me I handed her a resounding slap causing her to let go off the bowl in her hand. It poured on my quilt, making me more aggravated. I slapped her another time and got up from the bed while throwing the quilt and coat off of me.“You pest!” I hissed, and frowned when I saw Ziyah bow her head foolishly, “Knee down!” I snapped and Ziyah did just that quickly.“Master please calm down! Would you tell me what I did wrong? I just saved you and-”I was angry, “Shut up! You saved my life does not mean I should be grateful about it. Af

    “You're probably in a better place now. I saw your will. You gave me everything you had. You clearly knew you would die soon.” I said while forcing back a chuckle as i stare at Kelly's headstone. “I sold everything and gave it away as charity and donated to a few scientists to find the cure to your disease so other patients can hopefully recover.” “I-i hope you're happy with what i did.” I said. I put my hands in my jean pocket and turned to leave when i saw a familiar face knee on my grave while holding a bunch of flowers in his hands. “Bella..” he sighed. “I know i am not worthy to come here but please forgive me. I-i am sorry i forced you to kill yourself. I-i only wanted to scare you, I didn't know.. i didn't know my boys would go too far.. I-i am really sorry.” I was beyond surprised. Wasn't this Jarrod, my human ex-lover? He really had some guts. After killing me he came here to ask forgiveness. I laughed, “Jarrod.” He shivered and turned to look me. His eyes widened and h

    “Are you sure you're alright?” I asked for the hundredth time after Kelly started complaining of an intense stomach pain from the coffee shop even when i helped her rest on her comfortable bed. I felt really bad for her.“Should i take you to the hospital?” I asked and Kelly moaned painfully, “What for? So they can tell me I'm running out of time and prescribed some horrible drugs destined to make me choke and kill me?”“Fine. Just stay in bed and I'll wake you up later to do some yoga exercises, perharps it'll ease the pain.”After a whole painful week of having to listen to Kelly's whining, i felt even more scared. She refused to go to the hospital and what more? Insists she will die soon.“Let's go on a stroll and we can even bump into your lover. Isn't that nice?” I asked and Kelly eyes lit up. “Yeah!”Halfway into the stroll, i w

    I took a step closer to Kelly with a smirk, “Of course i treated you sincerely but i couldn't fully trust in the matters of the heart because i loved Cameron back then and i couldn't bear losing him. To be honest, you never made me feel secure and i was insecure about my looks and body too. I thought Cameron would forget me when he finds a prettier lady.. oh how petty was i!”Kelly sniffed, “To be honest, I was a little jealous of your luck. You always had the good guys after you.. I can barely believe you would be jealous of me.”I shook my head, “I was human after all, it is not surprising I was petty minded.”Kelly sighed in relief, “If only I had the opportunity to live again, I would live very well.”I helped Kelly sit on the couch and she sighed again, “The only thing I don't regret in my life is meeting you and Alexa.

If she hadn't spoke in her usual condensing manner I wouldn't believe it was her.“Kelly?” i asked as I reached out to caress her now, wrinkly face.It was impossible.. was it really her?“Bella” Said Kelly as she pulled me into a warm hug.I was surprised, I didn't know if it would be right to hug back. After so many years, she still remembered me.Tears rolled down my cheeks as i remembered everything we did together before we separated.“Bella,” said Kelly as she pulled away from the hug and drag me into her house. Nothing much had changed except the furnitures and curtains. I smiled.“Sit down, I'll get you some tea. You must have a lot of tell me!”I smiled and watched as Kelly disappeared into the kitchen.

I nodded and went back to my job, serving drinks.“So.. are you getting married?” My boss asked all of a sudden making me shake my head vigorously. “Of course not sir, why would you think that?”“Your ring” My boss said boredly. I started at the ring in my index finger embarrassedly. I couldn't believe I almost forgot about it. A subtle smile appeared on my lips on realizing how simple but beautiful the ring looked. Like a bunch of red roses.“Whoever gave you that, you should marry him”“What?” I nearly choked on hearing my boss's words. Did I perhaps hear wrong?

    “Do you want a ride?” Asked a young gentleman as he parked his car in front of me.Without any hesitation, I entered the car and pulled on the seatbelt. But it didn't seem to work like I expected.The gentleman chuckled and pressed a button near my seat and the belt presented itself in front of me and I nearly jumped.“What sort of sorcery is this?” I exclaimed and touched the belt which instantly wrapped itself around me and fixed itself in the small box next to me.“The latest human technology.”I glanced the gentleman in the driver's seat and realized he wasn't human either.“What are you? A demon?” I asked as he started the car.He stopped the car and sighed. “How can you tell I am not human?”“You're putting on a black Italian hat, black sunglass and suit.

Although there were a few awkward pauses in my vision, asides from that I was good.Asides from the realm elders, the council and Leader Atrix. There was no one else here. My identity was supposed to be a secret. Ordinary people couldn't know me unless it was absolutely necessary.The sky darkened and the moon illuminates the dark sky. I could feel the radiation from the moon feeling my spirit. I sighed in content and stopped in front of the burning firewood.“Kneel” One of the seven elders said and I did. Another elder approached me with a tablet in her hand.

    When I woke up I felt much better and healed, the cave was warm and I was having a nice daydream- Laying in Cameron's lap next to the fireplace and the scent of his body engulfing my nostrils.I wouldn't ask for anything else.“I wish it wasn't a dream” I said longingly as the invisible hand caressed my face.“I wish I came for you earlier.”My breath hitched when I heard his imaginary voice in my ears.“Please..” I said, “Please don't ever leave me alone.”“I-i would never, ever leave you again, my love, I'm here.”I smiled, “That is good.”I closed my eyes again and when I opened them, Cameron was staring right at my face.I was stunned. Was this real?“Cameron..” I whispered trailing my fingers across his cheeks. “Are you real?”
