"Diego where is my baby.?" She repeated.
"I don't know? We are out of the house trying to control the flood from reaching our house."
"Diego one of the baby is missing!* Mira started to cry she already have names for each of the baby she gave birth to.first one was Alexandra, the second was Brianna and the third was Cassandra the frail and smallest of all.
"Which one?" He said confused how come any of the babies went missing since there were nobody was with them.
"Cassandra is missing!." Mira replied in between sobs.
"Cassandra who?"
"The baby the last one, she is missing!" Mira replied crying.
"Mira are you sure there was no one who was here! How can it be that the baby would be missing it would be impossible for a new botn baby to crawl out of the house!" Diego related.
Mira for a time she grieved for her lost baby they tried to find the baby but to no avail. Alethea and Diego consider it a vision only that the third baby was just a figment of their imagination just a play by the spirits to test on their sensibility and the emotional capacity of Mira.
As days went on they live away from people, she experienced difficulty in raising two of the triplets but her mind never forget the little fragile, frail and weak baby she gave birth to on that night. After she give birth, Lila return and from there on she help Mira to balance her material side and spiritual as well as other aspect of her being.
As the twins grow up Mira observed the idiosyncrasies of each of the twin. Alexandra since she was born didn't feed in her milk during breastfeeding time., Instead of sucking on her breast for milk she bite her and suck on the wounds.
She understand that she inherit her traits from her father the vampire king. Mira at first thought that she had to end the life of her daughter so afraid that she will be the answer to the prophecy that the vampire king wants to achieved but when the opportunity came she cannot do it because of her maternal instinct. Instead she raise and feed Alexandra with the blood from animal they raise but later on the child learn to eat food just like them.
While the second baby Brianna grow to develop an unusual strength that Mira didn't know where she got this incredible strength. But she continue to guide the twins with the help of Alethea, Diego who acted as a father figure of the twins and Lila who trained them to tap thier powers as white witch teach them to make spells and concoct potions but with strict supervision and prohibited them to use their powers for personal gain and harm any being .
They ingrained to the twins the fear of the supreme being that rules all over the earth and raise them to be a compassionate and good person. But one day Mira was appalled when Alexandra had broken one of their private rule.
The twins reach their tenth birthday Mira discovered that Alexandra went to hunt for food and brought along her twin. Both of them fight a pack of wolves and killed every one of them with Alexandra's speed and Brianna strength they were successful. Alexandra had her fill with the food of the pack. While Brianna looks on.
"Yuck"that was the most awful food I taste." She said to her sister.
"But didn't you said you were hungry?" Brianna said."I'm starving the food Mama provide can never quench what I crave." Alexandra replied.
"Andra you should control your craving Mama will punished us if she will learned from this." Brianna warned her twin sister.
"I just can't help it Anna I tremble and drool over the smell of blood that I want to taste it." Alexandra declared.
"You know Andra you should try much harder or we will be in trouble if Mama and Papa will hear of this." She repeated.
"What will put you on trouble if I learn about what?" Mira suddenly appeared behind them she had been searching for the twins that she had to tap her powers to track them.
."Mama!" Both of them was surprised that their mother found them. "What is that on your cheek Alexandra?" Mira was appalled to realized that one of her fears came to reality.
"Mama I..." She began. Mira was appaled to see the traces of blood in her daughters " face body and clothes.
"You! both of you had done what I strictly prohibited you to do." Mira was livid with anger.
"Mama! Andra is very hungry she is shivering from hunger. That's why we did it." Brianna tried to reason out and protect her twin.
"And so you help her with that and disobeyed what I had strictly prohibited you to do?"
"They attack us first Mama! We have to protect ourselves." Andra found her voice in fear that her twin will be punished together with her. Mira is a loving mother she showered her daughters with love and undersanding but she is also a very strict disciplinarian, fearing that her girls might inherit the cruelty and evil traits of their father.
"But that doesn't erase the fact that you disobeyed me and go hunting by yourself! If you didn't go on your own and told me what's the problem you will not meet this pack of rouges."
"Mama, sorry, we let you worry this won't be happening again." Brianna said crying full of remorse.
" I hope you will keep your promise, but that doesn't mean you will be free from punishment from now on, until I say so you will be grounded . You will stay in your room and will not be allowed to go out your food will be sent to your room . But Alexandra will go without food for two days I will bound your powers so that you won't be able to use it until you will be release from your confinement."
"Mama can I take all the punishment please spare Brianna." Andra knew that the most important thing for her sister is to be able to run freely in the woods. To be confine in their room means sadness for her and weakening her strength.
"It's alright Andra, I am willing to accept the punishment We did it together anyway." Brianna replied
" No! Let this be a lesson for your disobedience, I'm not doing this because I like to, but for the reason that I have to."
"What is the reason Ma?" Alexandra is showing her rebelous streak.
" In time you will know." Mira said she think she have to rein Alexandra's rebelous nature.
"How about now Ma! "
" Don't you challenge me Alexandra! Now go, do as what I have told you." The mother and daughters made Thier way back to the house unknowingly that some one has witness most of the incident, and tried to process everything.
"Are you certain of this?" Yes your majesty. The vampire king Maximilian was glad with the news that the love of his life Mira was spotted alive and well. He send two of his trusted vampire to observe and provide protection to Mira. But how was she able to be alive when his subordinate made sure she was dead before leaving her in that dark alley. It baffles him so maybe his witch had played a trick on him but that was impossible since it was said in the oracle that she will be powerless in the peak of the lunar eclipse. Maybe she just played dead at the time. If this is so was he able impregnate her? where is his baby? His child maybe around ten years old now."Oh I'm so excited to meet her again with or without an heir I'm gonna claim you my little witch." Maximilian vowed to himself. " Ha ha ha ha!!!," He laughed evilly.Mira and Alethea was discussing the effects of the twins impulsive actions. "I must say that the twins action was totally innocent although they didn't know
Startled the twins turn their attention to the direction of the noise."Who are you?" The twins simultaneously asked the intruders. There were three of them looking like a hungry animals. "We were about to asked the the same question!" Replied the man who appeared to be the leader a huge man with two other companion who looks dangerously at them. "Don't you know that you are on a private territory. You are obviously trespassing!" Andra bravely said "Ha ha ha ha! For a pint size you're so brave, don't you realized that it's dangerous to walk around in this forest without an adult supervision?" The leader said sarcastically. "As my sister said you are on a private property. You are an intruder here and it's our responsibility to sent you out of here." Anna declared, thte man turn their attention to her. "Look! There's two of them. Quiet young but very good looking, this may be our lucky day! He he he!..." One on the men said. " What if we tell you that we will not be pus
"What are you saying Lila? Mira confused with what her whitelighter is trying to convey."On that night when the vampire king had force you to carry his spawn, he is not only the one who planted his seed on you.." Lila's revelation shocked the others present."What happened that night after I deided kill myself, I wasn't aware, I just wake up in the hospital a day after the lunar eclipse." Mira admitted."Yes! you were not aware that in order to complete the consumation, the seed implanted on you must be fully alive. When you personally killed yourself using your own power half of the spawn died with you but, when the moon started to appear your life is restored with an unexplained gift the moon goddess send your mate to complete the life of the spawn breaking it into half that's why you have the twins Alexandra came from the vampire king Maximilian, and Brianna came from your werewolf mate ." Lila reveal."Who is my mate?" Althought witches does believe in fated mates they pa
Mira was still angry with Lila, butt she missed her. She regretted her vanishing her companion from her life but she stood her ground she had to be punished for taking away her right to make decisions for her children. Instead of clinging on to the negativity of her action, she prepared tonight for the full moon. Lila said that Brianna's father is a werewolf. That explains her strength and the ability to heal faster. Unlike Alexandra she heals faster if she is able a dose of Human blood.She also recall Lila said that most of the wolf shifter occurs when they reach the age of sixteen but since Brianna manifested earlier symptoms peculiar to them she might shift earlierTonight marks the thirteenth birthday of the twins she had to prepare for Brianna should she Wii be shifting for the first time she had to be there to assured her of her presence, love and caringShe is also worried about Alexandra , vampires and wolves are mortal enemies. Will they ever overcome this difference i
When Brianna return she was in human form and totally naked. Alethea gave her somehing to dress. Alexandra keep stealing glances at her sister, that didn't escape Mira's vision.. She was trying to think of way to explain to the twins their differences of their personalities without raising antagonism among the twins."Mira the problem will just keep on mounting until it will be very hard for you to handle it. It would cause alienation for both the twins considering they came from two opposite races, and to think you still have to consider the other sister that they have no knowledge about." Diego said. She asked the opinion of Diego and Alethea."Yes, that's another thing to consider. Another is the powers that was being unbound when they reached the age of thirteen, that's not all by the coming of age of sixteen they will be able to gain gradually depending on their capabilities your side, which we are not aware of the extent." Alethea declared."Do you think that it is much wise
From that day on the twins was busy with their training. Mira was handling Alexandra and Brianna while Alethea and Diego sometimes help . But the relationship of the twins was obviously had been strained. Alexandra obviously cannot accept that she had a werewolf as a twin.Mira observe the twins are easily irritated with each other which made her wonder if training the twin on how to tap and use their power is a good idea."What's the matter Mira ? I can see that you are holding back on the twins training." Alethea asked. "I am not sure if what we are doing is right. " She answered anxiously. " What do you mean?" Confused Alethea inquired.I am afraid that if they will gain more understanding, tap into their hidden powers, and learn how to use them they will turn to each or harm one or the other, seeing how they grow apart more so now that they have the knowledge of their own differences." Mira said. " Mira it is such a difficult situation you are thinking but. You and I know tha
On the day that Mira decided to bring back Lila so many things had happened. The training of the twins accelerated. Alexandra has achieve another power of camouflaging, she can fool anyone of her presence but not Brianna who knows her scent even when she is not visible. She also have the power to blink. She can transport herself from one place to another in a blink of an eye.This made Mira worried because this power is typical to have been practice by evil witches. She also have the ability to create a fireball. While Brianna's strength was greatly increase, her speed can be compare with Alexandra. Her power of freezing time is commendable she also achieve the healing power and is one of the earth. But most of all her hearing had become sensitive, and he mind liinking ability had increase. She also learned the ability of making potions and medicines. As the girls turn fifteen. They stumble on the truth that Mira had been keeping from the longest time.The girls return from school
"What's wrong son , what is bothering you?" Mira asked Christian. A few days after the attack she is getting anxious that her adopted son become distant to them. He is more incline in being with Theo than them. "I'm sorry mom, but I want to know the truth." He said with fear in his eyes. "What do you want to know?" Mira smiled maybe her boy had questions about the changes in his person. If that's the case she will refer him to Diego or Theo., "What are you?" His question had her confused. "When you say "you" you mean us? Me ,my family?" She tried to get it clearer. "Yes!" He simply said the the seriousness of what he is saying is evident. "Before I disclosed everything to you, I want to let you know that I have loved you as my own, I treated you as one with my children. Isee to it that you will be protected and that I am hoping that you will find it in your heart to accept us,and keep our secret." She decided to tell him the truth. "Are you telling me Mom that you are not li
As soon as Lila post this problem the alarm sounded. an attack at the northern border was noted. "I thought we will be at peace once we return victorious?" Cassie retorted. " There are just some old scores we have to settle to achieve lasting peace. There will be no short cut to it." The queen said. " I will face the enemies once and for all. She added.Thalia with the Warlock Lucius, with their men come face to face with the witches lead by queen Inah and her granddaughters "What do you want Lucius? " Queen Inah begun. " I have heard that the triplets successfully conquered the mountain of the rock statues." Lucius said. " I am amazed how the news travels so fast. They have not even warm their seats and then here you are. Go straight to the point Lucius, what do you seek. " The queen challenged. " I came to seek recognition for being their grandfather, and for the times you had me fooled believing in your blackmail I deserved justice." Lucius cockily declared. "Recognit
" Something is wrong why it still glowing?" The triplets are in panic something, they must find for that something to fit in that glowing hole on the altar. Then out of the blue they heard voices."Did you think that you will be able to get out of this victorious? Ha ha ha.... !" One voice said mockingly."Your ancestors had made grave sins against us and you carry the burden of their mistake. Ha ha ha... !" Another one said." Each one of you had made a selfish and grave sin against each other that you don't deserve to get out of here victorious unless you admitted your sins to cleanse you soul! " "Come on girls look inside your soul try to think what have you done! " Mira urged. " That includes you Mira! Ha ha ha ...! Did you think you have a pure soul? Only people with pure soul get out of here! " They all started to look for the most selfish things they have done. " I'm so sorry, I tried to kill myself after the vampire king had planted his seed on me . To prevent myself to
They spend their waking hours planning their time to coincide with the movement of the sun, the peak hours was at midday, where nothing can stand the heat and the whole area is turn to a vast wasteland."We will start at the break of dawn to take down those rock statues and try to reach the entrance for what is waiting for us there." Cassie said. Brianna counted the gemstones they gathered they were short compared to the numbers of rock statues."How sure are you that we are short Anna? Alexandra asked."I counted the statues I saw when I flew aboard bigbird with the bird people gathering food." She replied. "... And it doesn't include the others I didn't see considering we only fly up to where the rays of the sun doesn't touch us." She added."Then we have to make every gems count." Alexandra suggested."Yes you're right Andra, so we will divide the gemstones to our selves and try find alternatives to combat them, for example using our own power of the amulets, maybe we can als
When the triplet arrived at the foot of the highest peak of the mountain range, they were in awe with the view."Wow! It is so nice here as if we can touch the sky and we can see the whole area as far as our eyes can travel. " it was in the late afternoon that they landed after travelling for almost the whole daylight. The sun is on the other side of the mountain. Giving them the illumination from the reflection from the sky without see the sun itself. "Do you observe what I see? " Cassie asked her sisters " What is it Cassie?" Alexandra asked while Brianna turn her attention the vegetation around."The grasses and the plants around grows so fast." Cassie said." That's because during the early morning toward the early afternoon when the sun touches this part the earth the grasses dried up from the intense heat. It grows so fast when it was late in the afternoon towards the early early evening, and freezes during the night to kill it with it's intense cold." Brianna explain afte
"What the...?" Immediately the resting Alexandra reacted sending her bolts of lightning to pulverized the stones, while Cassie send her wind power to send away the pebbles and sands to prevent it to fall on them. Brianna mounted the bird to get an overview of their enemy. She immediately communicated though mindlink of her observation. "Brianna attack from the air! Alexandra defend from the ground! Momoo and will lauched an offensive from the ground to confused him. "Cassie directed her sisters.They fought the creature for a while, and the triplets ibeginning to get tired Brianna trade places with Cassie her crossbow is more effective when she get a better view of the creature.The creature also begun to become weary but his body was hard as rocks, his hand send stones flying in their direction use their shield to protect them , but it cause their attacks to be ineffective against the giant creature.Alexandra thought of a strategy to gain advantage to their enemy. "Let's do i
"I said that your powers are useless on the first mountain we cross . How was I to know will be activated here." He tried to explained. " So that means you never get this far before, or what I should say that you don't have information about this mountain. " Cassie inquired.evidently very much annoyed. " And I might add all the things you said about this is either lies or wild guesses?" Brianna seconded. Also much livid." I'm sorry, in my attempt to make sure you succeed I told you stories that are not proven but believe me I have the best interest for the majority, at heart." Deo wasn't able to deny what he is accused of, but he sugarcoat his admission to be able to gain favors from the triplets or at least have their sympathy."And I guess, that majority doesn't include us. You were just a liability to us." Brianna controlling her anger added. "... And to think you have fooled me eversince we met, I have defended you from my sisters, I choose to go back for you instead of m
The group begun their trek, out of the blue Alexandra saw in her peripheral vision something move. She followed it with her eyes and suddenly transported to a place full of people like a marketplace. She saw herself in an alley with a victim which she had dried up by sipping the blood and leaving her dead, she look at the face of the victim and saw the mirror image of herself. Then suddenly she felt herself being suck into the image of herself of the retreating vampire. Somehow Alexandra felt trapped grasping for breath she just killed herself by her vampire self. "No, no, no! This is just a vision it can never be!, Ahhhh..." She yelled. "Anda! Wake why are you screaming?'" Brianna had to wake her up by slapping her face. "I have a nightmare!" Gasping for breath she confided. "Nightmare in broad daylight? Besides I never knew that vampires have nightmares. He he he!!!" Brianna said teasingly. They just took a while to rest then Alexandra fall asleep. "You must have seen some
Brianna and Cassie was surprised when they heard the voice, but Alexandra remain straight face."Where have you been all this time Deo?" Cassie found her voice."I got lost when the beast chase us, and somehow, someone make it sure that it's stays that way." Deo said emotionlessly."What do you mean?" Cassie looked at Momoo and Alexandra and she get the same reaction instead."Never mind that! Quick gather all those gems including that horn and remove the other to bgather those gems you might not know when you will need them. " Deo said dismising the contraversy he created. Brianna looks on, trying to decipher what's going on."After we gather this thing we should find a water source for me to get rid of this." She made a gesture showing herself."Anna it's not only you stink. You look like it." Alexandra tease as Brianna stammered."Then, what are you going to do with that?" Cassie made a sign pointing at the huge bird looking at them as if he understood what is being said."Oh o
"Chick, chick,, chick." Brianna's companion on the nest made a sound, it's been days since the eggs hatched and the mother bird, has been very close overprotectively with her chicks including Brianna the father bird sometimes flew to gather food for them at first Brianna was afraid wondering, what the the father bird will feed them . But relief wash over her when the bird brought them fruits, but she didn't want to be content here in this situation. She must find ways to escape who knows what the father bird will feed them next.Then one day she was surprised that her bird siblings were being push out of the nest. The first one was was able to move her wings and finally was able to glide in the wind, and so with the second.When her turn came she thinks that this will be her chance to escape.if she could only land softly on those tree branches below that'll be her time to escape. But deep in her heart she is afraid that she won't make it.When her time came she brace herself, but
