Brie processed the information haltingly. Her brain performed the simple task of understanding like a slow computer.
'Hello?' Vino was tired of waiting.
"Uh, you said you've been there since 1820...?"
'Yes.'
"Welcome to my humble abode, Ivana." Zac showed her his cave. There was a sort of bed, made of straws and twigs. The light was provided with a small fire by the entrance. "Now that I'm human again, I'll improve this bed.""Oh, it's okay. We can still sit here," Ivana said soothingly.Zac was fast. He spread her father's jacket on the straws. "It is itchy, to say the least."
For the first time since she married Ram, Olga could not concentrate on him and his brothers. For the first few minutes, her moaning was fake.Ram knew her well. "What's the matter with you, bitch? Are we losing our touch?""No, I--""Brothers, Olga is faking!" Ram told his brothers
Ivana fell asleep after that torrid lovemaking. She woke up warm and cozy beside a coat of thick fur."What the--?" Ivana got up and looked at the big wolf.The animal had awakened, too. He barked softly."Zac?"
"How did you find the world inside the mirror?" Ivana queried when she saw Brie."Depressing," Brie replied tacitly."Aw..." Ivana guessed Vino Blanco had not listened to Brie's explanation."What happened here? Your bed--" The bed was upside-down.
Brie and Ivana went back to their room after several hours of laughter and good company. She was embarrassed to watch when Zac kissed Ivana for several seconds. It was deep and intensely hot."I'll be back," Ivana promised huskily.When they went out of the painting, they inspected every nook and cranny of the rooms. The windows were intact. The eighteen jars and their crystals were still complete.
Olga stared at the vacant table. The last time she visited the jars was more than two decades ago, when she added the mothers of Ivana and Brie to her collection.Now, the jars were missing. And the crystals! The two shrews had them!"Tania, your curse is nearing its end! Your prediction has come true! These two granddaughters are witches like me! But unlike me, they lack the experiences and the wiles. They are just greenhorns! They are just novices! They have
"Hello, Brie!""Dad, how are you?" Brie was half-awake when she answered the cellphone."I'm fine. You didn't call me yesterday. Ivana, too."Brie was guilty. She got up slowly. Vino was sleeping face down beside her.
"Did I do this to you?" Zac caressed her shoulder. His teeth marked her smooth skin."I don't know." Ivana's hands fondled his chest. The thin hair curled on her fingers."I think, I did this..."They were submerged in the water. Zac was propped at the shallow shore while Ivana lean
Ivana stirred slowly. She was lying on a rug, in front of a crude fireplace. Her pillow moved when she turned her head towards the fire.She sat up instantly when she realized that Zac was beside her."Don't come near me!" Ivana scooted backwards. She was shocked when her blouse gaped. Her bra was unhooked. Her jeans were unbuttoned and unzipped. She scrambled to clutch together the flaps of her blouse.
Brie could not sleep again. She had been like this whenever she thought of Vino Blanco.'That sorcerer! He is dominating my mind again!' She was irritated. She desperately wanted to forget him.Brie went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. She went to take a peep at her sister's room. Ivana and Kobbie were sleeping peacefully.
Zac Logan waited for Vino Blanco. He was getting impatient but he knew that patience was a virtue when it came to these silly trials.'Just a little more time, bro...' Vino told Zac many times.While waiting at the ledge of a mountain ravine, Zac watched the creatures below. They were living in harmony. The valley he found three years before had become home to fairies, goblins, tikbalangs, and even dwarfs.
"This is the shop where I saw Ivana and Brie bought their wedding dresses," Millie stated in a sure tone. "Let's come inside, Ben.""Okay, Millie." Ben followed her cheerfully.She made a beeline towards the rack of dresses."Ma'am, this one is more your size," the sales attendant o
Grandma Nerida had discussed to Ivana and Brie that Zac Logan and Vino Blanco would not remember their time together."How do you know, Grandma?" Brie was a bit doubtful."Grandma knows." Ivana forced herself to believe."Hove sought my help when his dream persisted. Ram always visi
Six months later...The bakery was very busy. As usual, the customers of 'The Enchanted Chefs' went in early to buy their favorite breads, pastries, and cakes."Mmm, this pastry is always so good! It keeps me going for all day at work!" commented a girl to her compan
When Vino closed his eyes to avoid the twin balls of black fire, a jolt shook his whole body. A great tremble started to vibrate inside his system.Tania was able to possess him!"Tania, get out of my body!" Vino ordered harshly."Why should I? Ti hi hi hi! Your body is now mine!"
Vino reeled from the heavy thump on his head. Good thing, he was wearing a helmet. When he looked sidewise, he saw Ram.Ram wore a growling expression. His eyes were wild. His drool trickled from his mouth while breathing rapidly.Vino assessed his opponent. Ram was possessed but by whom? Tania had gone to Tamarind Tower when Vorno was defeated. At least, that was his assumption...
"Hove?" Vino asked in disbelief."Forgive me, Queen Mother Fairy! I can explain!""You're a traitor but I'll let you explain." Nerida controlled her anger with difficulty.Vino came near the paralyzed tikbalang. He touched his head. "Speak."
