Chapter 23 - Many Apologies and Confusion

Nadia approached the boundary, panting. "Where are you?" Her voice squeaked when she called out. She shivered from the cold and the odd presence that tinted the forest air, the handle of her lantern shook slightly in her trembling hands. Where was she? Was she gone? Was---Nadia didn't have to question herself further. Fog formed in front of her with a low red glow, and standing right in front of her was the witch. The ghost her Granny had just told her was her mother. "You came." The ghost said. "How could I not?" Her lips trembled. "You are my mother."The moment sunk in and even for someone that was already dead, it felt alive, felt real. "I'm sorry that my hands almost gifted you death countlessly. If I had you, things would have been different." Kestra whispered. Tears rolled down Nadia's cheeks. She spent all her life trying to look for her parents and now she found one, but she was already dead. This was so cruel."I am so sorry." Kestra continued to say, but Nadia drop

Chapter 24 - I Will Get The Physician

Soon enough, it was dawn, but Belladonna's escape from the castle didn't go as planned."How can I seduce you when you are far away?" Alaris had asked when she had stated her desire to leave with her already packed sack by her side."You can always fly to me," she shrugged.She would have just left quickly without coming to talk to Alaris but she knew that was stupid. He would think she had been kidnapped and he would conduct a search for her because the connection she shared with the Bearer was far too important to him to lose. The search would jeopardize her plans for creating distance between her and Eli. Her departure had to be done quietly and before his notice. She knew he was doing better now, she was also certain that as much as Alaris always said he wanted to kill him, he wouldn't. There was a reason he was still keeping him alive. Eli would be fine without and she would be better without him. She had to leave. Now, here she was in Alaris' study, the once-forbidden room

Chapter 25 - Oh, Dear Ghost Mother

It was barely a whole day, and Nadia already felt closer to her mother than she had ever felt to her Granny. Ever since she had stepped into the forest, she hadn't left her side, except to attend to nature's call and then she was back.Kestra had so many stories to tell her daughter, so much to say in such a limited time. Things would have been really different if they had been together. Life would have been perfect."So who is my father?" Nadia had asked. She knew her mother used to be the King's Right-hand woman and they used to be close, it made her wonder how strong their relationship was and if she had been a product of it.To her utmost disappointment, she wasn't. Not only that, but her mother didn't even know who her father was. The feeling stung for Nadia but she left it slide. She was too happy to take offense to anything right now. So they kept on talking and laughing, trying desperately to catch up on everything, and that was how Nadia had hopped onto the topic of her lo

Chapter 26 - Just Orange Juice

"There is no way I could ever ask that of you and you would give me. I do not have so much significance like that in your life yet. It is too much of a sacrifice. If only we had time..."Strong and lacking trust were the words of her ghost mother, it was so saddening that Nadia found herself making a Bloodoath to convince her of her significance, along with her dedication and absolute loyalty to sacrifice anything it would take to bring back her mother. Her yearning for a normal mother-and-daughter relationship between them was just so strong. It was something that tugged on the strings of her heart so much, that it couldn't be ignored. The chilling smile her mother gave her was her reward, it warmed Nadia's heart that she had done something special, and worth being happy about. "Tomorrow." Her ghost mother said. "Tomorrow? Why not tell me today? What if we are running out of time already? How long will your spirit linger, when your body has already been made extinct with dragon f

Chapter 27 - Played Right Into It

Nadia burst into the room, her gaze immediately clashing with Sir Anok's who looked at her with accusation and suspicion. "You!"That was all he needed to say. "What have you done?" Granny's voice squeaked, as she rushed away to get herbs, muttering something beneath her breath to the jerking Kenji, before she left him on the floor where Anok had now placed him."Do something!" Taria yelled, her eyes tearing up, her hands trembling as she wiped off the blood that bled even more from Kenji.Anok had loosened Kenji's shirt and turned him over on his left, so that he would still breathe but Kenji was showing no signs of recovering any time soon. "No, no, no," Nadia muttered under her breath, freezing by the door and being absolutely useless.Granny was back as soon as she had left but it was too late for Kenji. His body had already stilled and blood drizzled from his limp existence."He is still," Taria whispered, and looked at Granny, whose eyes had been overshadowed by shock and imm

Chapter 28 - Finding Her String

Belladonna had noticed the red glowing light first. It seeped in through every space into the carriage, and she had backed away slowly, her forehead wrinkling in confusion till the jarring feeling had hit the next second and the carriage swerved off course.The neighing of the horses filled the air, and chaos reigned like it was meant to be there. "What is going on?" She yelled to the coachman as the uncanny speed tossed her around the carriage without care, making her slam her body against the wooden walls, floor, and carriage seat, as she guarded her head with her arms to shield it from the damaging impact. "What are you doing?" She yanked the curtain aside and stuck her head out the window. The coachman had his back turned to her and all she could see was his black robe, that fitted against his broad back. Odd for a coachman."Be at ease." He said as he struggled with the reins of the horses that were clearly not obeying him.Belladonna's eyes went wide slightly.That voice. Sh

Chapter 29 - A "Delayed" Reunion

Cold hands clasped against Granny's and the dread set in, burning in her veins and spreading through her bones."You are not my Nadia." She gritted through the pain."I am not a stranger either," an uncanny smile cut across Nadia's face. "If not for your wonderful theft, I wouldn't have had this body to come back to. So perhaps, I should be grateful." Her voice was roughened with a gruff as she pulled Granny closer into a tight embrace, draining her power and claiming it as her own. "Perhaps I should also thank you for being alive too.""Kestra." Granny's voice was a whisper, the pain was too much. Confusion set in. "You took my daughter's body.""Mine." Red light flashed in Nadia's brown eyes, but obviously, she wasn't the one speaking. Granny frowned, anger cutting across her features and evident in her eyes. "Let her go!"Snap!Control slipped from Kestra, only for a moment.Just for a moment. She fought to regain it, to continue to stay in control of this stubborn body she had n

Chapter 30 - So Be It

Her eyes followed him, till he was kneeling by her side. The doubt in his eyes made her shake her head. "I am not crazy, Eli. Don't look at me like I am.""You are not crazy.""Do you believe me?" She pulled away to look at him and he gave her a reassuring smile, while cupping her face in his hands."You are not crazy."They remained in the magic of the moment, until the sound of flapping leathery wings broke it and she was pulling away from him finally.Alaris looked tensed and his gaze first found the bracelet on Belladonna's wrist before looking around quickly for any sign of danger. Finding none, he asked, "What happened here?"______They had made it back to the castle that night, with Alaris in his dragon form and each of them securely in his talons. It was a very scary ride, especially for Belladonna who wasn't used to seeing things from this high."Don't drop me, please!" She had yelled when he started making some unnecessary scary moves."Stop scaring her!" Eli had demande

Chapter 31 - They Call Him The Masked Killer

So Be It?!His thoughts were troubling and the thoughts of the depressing days that would follow if that were to happen took his mind in a reckless abandon. He forced himself to stop thinking about it so that he may tell her of his idea. "You have tried everything to get rid of the magic but you can not. I think that is because the ghosts do not want to leave. You are letting go of one end of the rope, while they hold on to the other."She shook with a disagreeing laugh. "They want to. They beg me to set them free. If they could, they would leave.""You are right, they want to, they just do not know the right way to. I believe their souls must be appeased. They are angry, and their anger ties them here.""Of course they are angry." She blamed him for that, it was in her eyes. "Can you ask them what they want me to do?""What?" Her fight dissipated from her. "I want their forgiveness. My actions took their lives, the least I can offer them now is peace."Belladonna turned away, tur

Chapter 32 - Cast A Stone

He staggered back, shielding his head and taking the hit.There were stones from every direction, even children who certainly didn't have full understanding of what was going on were throwing stones! How did people gather around them so fast?!The scene before Belladonna rose her anger through the roof. These stupid people!"Stop it! Stop stoning him!" She yelled stepping forward. "Do you think he willingly did this? Do you think if he hadn't been lied to, just like the rest of us, he would have done this?!" She was looking around sharply, her eyes desperately trying to command everyone's attention just like her words were. "He loses his mind with regret over this day and night, and now seeks to make amends, even though he is also a victim here too. Just like all of us!" There was silence in the street when she spoke. It felt like the whole world had stopped and now was listening to her. Eli's heart pounded in his chest with each word she spoke, his body was tensed and rigid in r
