“Mother where have you been?” Draco was the first person to bombard me with questions when i arrived back at Ice cave.
“Have you eaten?” i asked, changing the topic.
“Yes mother, all i have to do is imagine my favorite food in front of me and bam!”
My eyes widened at that. Draco did it, didn't he?
“When did you eat that??”
“After you left. I ate fried rice, two big chicken legs and a very big fish head.” Draco said cheerfully.
I immediately felt like passing out. I really wanted to pass out.
“Go drink some water quickly” i said to Draco who looked at me inquisitively. Dread filled me as i stared into Draco's eyes.
He did the manipulation spell.
A manipulation spell could be done by any gods with energy- All it required was an imagina
“Master, why did you decide to come to town today?”After a lot of critical thinking and persuasion from Draco, I decided to come out of my shell and walk around town a little.Surprisingly, it wasn't as peaceful and calm as I expected it to be.“What do you think will become of Crescent moon? Leader Atrix has been poisoned and the council is in turmoil, what do you think will happen when this news spread to the other realms? There are greedy realms aiming for this sort of opportunity..”“Especially Red moon-”“-Don't say that. Those tribe are weak now, we signed a peace treaty with them so they can't possibly rebel now and besides there are a few red moonlites around here, don't let them hear you” another responded in a hushed tone. I was the most confused. I saw Leader Atrix a few days ago and she looked just fine. How could she be poisoned?I turned to ask Ziyah

I was the most confused. I saw Leader Atrix a few days ago and she looked just fine. How could she be poisoned?I turned to ask Ziyah
“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
After a month of reading and testing the poison, I found the name of the poison.‘Red bull’ The poison was indeed most popular in the seven hells realm. Ursurps of the king's throne was most popular in the seven hells realm and Red bull poison was mostly used to kill their leaders. The red bull poison-It had the exact symptoms Leader Atrix showed;Loss of memoryDizzinessHungerEmotional instabilityIntense sadness or depressionWeakness of the spiritual cognitionLazinessUnwillingness to workTalkativenessVulnerability to wineLoss of the three sensesDull memoryWeakness of the mindAnd one more thing, I didn't know before.Death, when the carrier of the poison experience intense emotions.The poison had two ways to be suppressed. It couldn't be completely cured in
“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
“Bella, are you alright?” Kelly asked while helping me from under the table. I nodded hesitatedly and watched as the grim reaper disappear right under everyone's noses.“Omg.. look at the little girl she's..”“Dead”A woman in her forties ran to the scene of the accident and bursted into tears, “Amanda!”The trailer who crushed the little girl didn't even bother to check what happened.“Hello 911? There's just been an accident..”My eyes caught a familiar face staring at me angrily from across the street but before i could take a closer look, it was gone.Suddenly i heard a loud cry, “Old lady be careful!”A taxi pulled over in front of Kelly. Thankfully, I was fast enough to pull Kelly out of the way.“Thank you!” i said to the teenager who alerted Kelly and I.“We
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. It must have been fate, trying to tie me up with
Was this really Kelly? 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 sat on the couch and sighed. I didn't expect her to respond so casually to seeing me again. I thought she'd
I smiled as I read the name of the bar out loud, ‘Bounce be-een bar’Flashback**“Sorry I'm late boss” I said, putting on my apron.“That's a first so I'll let you off today, anymore slacking and you're fired” My boss said dryly. 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. Also I cannot feel your soul- you don't have
“It is time to commence the coronation of the newest council member, excellency beauty.”I was dressed in a red bright dress with flowers decorating my ankles and wrists.Today was a full moon, the perfect time for my inauguration ceremony.After a few months of nursing my health, I was back in shape. 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?”
