Chapter 17
“Lucy are you sure about this?” He asked
“Yes father, but she’s just standing there. She’s not moving” Lucy said.
“I can feel her powers. I can sense evil around her. I think she’s trying to hurt us.” Lucy added
Father walked closer to the gate and asked us to go back into the house. We couldn’t help but hid at the corner of the door to see who it was.
Father gave Willow a sign to open the gate. At first he hesitated, but he had no choice because it was an order. Just when he was about to open the gate, Jaden came out of nowhere,
“Father, I have something to show you” he said
“Not now son, go be with your sisters inside and hide” Father said to Jaden
“What’s going on? Why is everyone as if they just saw a ghost?” Jaden asked looking at everyone
“Get inside now” He yelled as Jaden quickly made his way into the house wondering what might have happened to make everyone so tensed.
Getting inside, he saw Rhea and Lucy at the corner of the house peeping through the window.
“What’s going on here Rhea?” He asked
“There’s someone at the gate” I replied
“I can sense her anger. It’s as if she wants revenge or something. But she’s just standing there. ” Lucy said.
“Why is she here?” We don’t know either
“Wait guys, I think she’s releasing an evil to this house with what she’s doing”. Lucy said as Jaden and I looked at her
“Evil?” Jaden asked
“Yes, but I can’t tell why” Lucy said
“What is she doing” I asked
“She cut herself and… Wait guys, she’s leaving.” Lucy said
“Leave? Why?” I asked
“I don’t know” Lucy said
Everyone was ready to attack when Lucy shouted
“Father”
Father turned back to see who called
“Father, she is gone.” Lucy said
“What do you mean she’s gone?” Father asked
“No one’s there now. She’s gone. I don’t know. I can’t feel her anymore. I don’t think she’s still there” Lucy said as Willow opened the gate and found no one there.
“But one thing I know for sure is that she will be back” Lucy added
He went outside further to see if anyone was nearby but no one was there and all he saw was blood on the ground. They didn’t know what it means. They went back inside and locked the gate.
~Greeta’s POV~
“Stay here, I will go check them out” Greeta said to Eric and his men. Eric wasn’t sure of letting her go because she might actually run away from there.
“You better not run away because I will find you” Eric warned
“No need to be worried. I’m not going anywhere. I’ve still got an unfinished family business” Greeta replied as she left their camp.
Getting to Derrick’s house, she stood there for a while. She sensed something powerful inside the house. She had sensed two witches in the house, one with power and the other without.
“Well they are no match for her” She thought to herself
She brought out a knife and cut herself. She let the blood drop on the ground in front of the gate. After a while she left there just when she sensed that they were about to open the gateand went back to meet Eric and his men.
“It’s good that you returned” Eric said
“I keep to my words. I told you that I will return and I did” Greeta said
“So how did it go?” Eric asked
“The place is well guarded I don’t think you stand a chance against them.” She said
” But anyway, be thankful you have me. ” she added
“And what’s that supposed to mean?” Eric asked in anger
“You see, they are with their father. And you know, that he is the a hybrid. You can’t defeat him even if you try in a thousand years to come, and he is the only one who can stop you just by lifting his hands” she said trying to stare up his anger
“Watch your tongue witch” Eric let out.
“But don’t worry I’ve taken care of him for you, he is no longer a threat to you.” she said
“What do you mean by you’ve taken care of him for me?” Eric asked
“You ask too many questions that you are not supposed to ask. Go prepare with your men, we attack tomorrow night” she said
“Tomorrow night? Why not today?” Eric asked
“Because I said so” Greeta said and it made Eric frustrated knowing he can’t do anything to her because he actually needs her for this fight.
“The boy has fifteen more days to go. Wasting time here is not going to do is any good” Eric asserted
“Patience. If you must win this fight, you have to be patient” Greeta said
“After tomorrow night, my quest for revenge will be over” she thought to herself staring at Derricks house.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
~Rhea’s POV~
As soon as they closed the gate, Derrick began to act strangely. He almost fell that three times before they entered the house.
“What’s wrong father?” Jaden asked
“I don’t know, I suddenly feel dizzy” He replied
He tried to move and almost fell again.
“Please, help me to my room” he requested as Jaden and Willow took him to his room and we followed.
Before he got to his room, he collapsed. They laid him down on his bed. He couldn’t talk, move or even opened his eyes. It was as though he was in a very deep sleep.
“What’s happening to him?” Jaden asked Willow
“I don’t know. This has never happened before. I can’t explain it.” Willow said
“It’s her.” Lucy said
“It’s who?” I asked
“It’s the one who stood outside” She said
“How?” Jaden asked
“He is under her spell” Lucy said
” Father!!! Father!!!” Jaden called out to him trying to wake him up.
“He won’t get up, he is not even aware of his surrounding ” I said
“Then how do we wake him up Rhea?” Lucy asked
“We can’t, I’ve read about this. Only if the one he truly loves cries beside him. Then he will wake up. Her tears beside him will make him wake up” I said
“He loves us right? But why isn’t he waking up?” Jaden asked
“Don’t you get it?” Lucy asked Jaden
“Get what?” Jaden asked
“It’s only Mum who can save him now” Lucy said to Jaden.
“How do we get to her?” Jaden asked with tears filled in his eyes
“Now, that’s the problem” I said
“No, we have a bigger problem at hand.” Lucy said
