Daisy, who felt the tension radiating from Daniel stood up and slipped her hand into his, squeezing it softly. Daniel glanced at her and she winked and smiled up at him. "Let me handle this," she mumbled only to his hearing and he bobbed but at the same time knew that she will be wasting her time. He had always known his parents to be overprotective and a bit strict, the angry aura around them to him is not one that can be quenched without shouts and curses.
Daisy cleared her throat and made a quick cross sign. 'Can I do this? I should as I'm the one who pulled him into this shit' she thought and breathed in and out. "First of all, Good morning, dad. Good morning, mum."Daniel's parents made no sign as if they heard her and she sighed. "You both are mistaken, sir and ma'am. It was just a game we were playing." She patted her forehead and ran her hand through her hair knowing that her words made no sense to even her ears but yet hoped they would accept it.Ivan Anderson and his wife Ava, scrunched their noses and shook their heads.Ivan strolled to Daniel and stared into his terrified eyes. "Did you challenge the witch, Theodora? Did you?!" He growled and raised his hand to slap him but on second thought dropped back his hand.Daniel who already closed his eyes, waiting for the slap kept waiting but when it didn't come after several minutes, he slowly opened his eyes and lowered his head."You really challenged Theodora?" Ava asked and her eyes widened. She stamped her foot, rushed to him, and began hitting him. "What were you thinking? Do you know what you just brought upon us? Do you know that you just brought a death sentence upon us?" She babbled and glared at him still hitting him.Daniel kept his cool, knowing that pushing her would only worsen the case.While he took her beating, he decided to at least explain what happened. Clearing his voice, he dropped his gaze to them. "I didn't mean to, mum and dad. I just couldn't hold back from doing what I did. She kept talking about how she would end us all and I just couldn't take it anymore so I spoke out. I just wanted her to know that someone could stand up against her.""And that someone is you, Daniel?" His mum laughed not just believing her ears and walked away from him. "A mere mortal like you? What are you gonna fight her with? Do you even have mere combat power let alone supernatural powers?""He's just a big fool." Ivan cursed. "At his age, he has no sense. All he knows how is to eat, fuck and sleep. Nothing else! And you Daisy, you allowed him to do such?""I wasn't there when it happened, dad," Daisy explained, not wanting to be part of the curses."Where were you? And since it happened, did you tell us? What kind of a lady are you? One so good at just fuck I guess."Daisy sighed as tears escaped her eyes, cascading down her cheeks. "I was at home, dad. And how do you expect me to tell you such? I already lashed out at him. What else was I to do? Kill myself?" She sobbed and was about to run out but Daniel who knew that was what she was going to do next, held her back and pulled her into himself, caressing her hair.He glared dangerously at his parents and stamped his foot, about to walk out but a burst of great laughter suddenly resonated all over the house, halting his movements and the windows and doors began banging profusely, leaving him, Daisy, and his parents gaping at each other."Tears. That's what you all would get. Tears!" Theodora's voice resonated and lightning flashed. A blasting thunder rumbled and her laughter echoed but suddenly seized.Ivan and his wife flared up at that instant, breathing heavily and both rushed to Daniel with clenched fists, perhaps to hit him for what he just brought upon them but screams upon screams began echoing a few steps away from them and they glanced at each other."What might've caused that noise?" Ivan asked Ava."And how am I supposed to know that?" She asked harshly due to how pissed she was already and ran out. Ivan ran after her and Daniel and Daisy not wanting to be left out, followed too.All of them kept running towards the sounds of the screams till they came in front of their most treasured stream and their jaws dropped.The people of Hilton Bale have always cherished one of their streams. This was because although Hilton Bale was surrounded by a great sea and had so many other streams, that stream was the only good one. It was the only source of their drinking water. And so it has been for so many years. But how can they drink from it again at what it just turned to?Floating on the once sparkling stream were several corpses, more than a hundred. The corpses all had open hearts and just the blood from them was enough to turn the color of the stream to deep red or perhaps, Theodora herself did that."What happened here?" Ivan directed his gaze to one of the females sobbing so profusely on the ground and asked."They came to the stream to fetch water as we usually do and scooped a little into their mouths in all smiles but suddenly began screaming out that their belly was on fire. They were just three who were screaming then so the others thought it was a joke and kept drinking only for everywhere to suddenly darken and Theodora appeared in between them," she paused, blowing in hiccups and blowing her nose."Those that drank the water died even before she could do anything to them and the others who barely survived, she killed herself. My brother who managed to run while it was going on told me everything before breathing his last. He had ignorantly scooped of the water too."He also said that the witch Theodora kept murmuring he challenged me while killing the victims. Theodora killed them all and also damaged our stream. She wants all of us dead. She just wants to pull Hilton Bale down and your son here is helping her achieve that since he was the one who challenged her."Ivan turned to Daniel with eyes blazing fire and raised his hand to hit him but everywhere suddenly darkened and Theodora's evil laughter began echoing in waves.

"Help me, guys. I can't carry him alone" Daisy directed at her parents and like if they knew she was gonna say that rolled their eyes at her."Thought you're all-powerful and great. Carry him yourself then, baby girl," her mum mumbled, keeping her gaze away from her.Daisy's jaw dropped and her mouth hung open as she stared at her mum with one brow up. "Do you really mean that, mum? Like, are you fucking serious?""Yes I am," her mum retorted and eyed her."Ain't you gonna say anything, dad?"Her dad shrugged off and fiddled with his fingers for a while before staring at her. "For the love I had for Daniel when he was alive I'll help you carry his body, not him. Is that okay with you?""Whatever." she rolled her eyes. "At least you gonna help me not like some people who don't want to."Her mum chuckled, strolled to her, and smacked her head."Ouch! What was that for?" She whined rubbing the spot she smacked her."That's for thinking that I'll let you both carry Daniel's body alone. Do
THREE DAYS
The people of Hilton Bale after crying their eyes out on the cold blood-filled ground stood up with their puffy eyes and began leaving one after the other. All their heads were lowered and it slammed so heavily as if it wants to break apart. Most left with their dead babies in their arms while others shook their heads and left theirs there on the ground. Tears kept trickling down their cheeks as everyone made a slight bow to dead Daniel's body before he or she leaves. Most of their clothes were torn in several parts and dripped with blood and sweat.Husbands held their sobbing wives in a warm soothing embrace while trying their best not to cry cause they wanna be strong for them but for the first time failed woefully.Both husbands and wives sobbed feverishly like little kids not minding their age.Once they all left Mr. Robert and his wife strolled to their daughter in tears too and helped her stand. They dusted her stained gown and pulled her into an embrace as she sobbed in the
AWAIT MY NEXT VISIT
"You deserve to die!" Another voice shrieked from the crowd. "You're the most foolish being I've ever seen in my life..." "Ugly asshole..." "Loser..." While all the taunts and curses were going on Daniel kept calm and didn't even do like he could hear them. He took his mind to the last words of Theodora which was 'good luck on your quest' as his mind sought for answers. "What quest is she talking about?" He breathed staring at the ground. "Does she in any way know of my desire to go find the wizard or was she just talking about my challenge?" He ruffled his hair in obvious frustration, stood up from the ground, dusted his body, and stared at the dead bodies all over the arena as tears trickled down his cheeks. Adhering to his instinct which was pushing him to touch the babies he strolled to them and touched those without heads as much as he could and walked away sobbing lowly. A sudden wind hovered over the babies that he touched immediately he walked away and after the wind
CURSES AND TEARS
"Why does she have to do this!" Daniel uttered profanity as he ran so fastly until he came before the weeping people who had their dead babies in their arms. All of them had swollen eyes and soaked up torn clothes. Their clothes dripped of both tears, sweat, and blood.'I don't think father explained this so well. Havoc is just a little word to consider the sight before me right now' he surmised and didn't even know when his knees hit the ground as tears flowed freely from his eyes and clouded his vision.Daisy and her parents arrived at that instant and shook their heads at the sight before them as a heart-wrenching pain coursed through them. They strolled to Daniel and raised him.Just as Daniel stood up with the help of Daisy and her parents he thought of Theodora and started wondering where she might be.Not getting answers from his thoughts he looked far behind the people and there she was still killing and ripping babies with a huge scowl on her face and a smile on her lips.He
RIPPING AND KILLING
"Can I sit beside you?" Daniel inquired of Daisy who was sitting on the bed with her head in between her knees and ruffled his hair.For more than three minutes he has been standing at the door not knowing what to do.Several times he opened his mouth to talk but nothing came out. It actually took him a lot before he mumbled that. And from his expression, it's so obvious that's he's so tensed up.Daisy raised her head, glanced at him, slowly bobbed, and lowered her head back in between her knees.He wiped his face and settled down beside her. "I'm sorry for shouting at you. I didn't mean to. Please don't be mad at me" he mumbled and tried to hold her hand but she shifted it away from his grip."I've no reason to be mad at you" she retorted coldly without raising her head. "It's your life anyway and you can live it anyhow you want. And I'm so sorry for shouting at you. My emotions got the best part of me. I don't even know why it did. I'm sorry though.""Daisy" he called and tried to h
THE MALE BEHIND THE CLOSED WALL
"What did you just say, father?" Daniel asked with a broad smile."I said what if he's in allegiance with Theodora? Like, what if both know each other? What if they are friends?""What if he's not? Our problem is that we conclude a lot father. Like, what if they haven't even seen each other before? What if they are so far apart from each other?""You are also not sure baby. Going to that wizard is 90-10% chances. You have a 90% chance of death and 10% chance of survival.""If that is the risk I have to take to free Hilton Bale from Theodora then to be frank I'm willing to take it, baby. I'll do everything in my power to send that wicked witch to where she belongs. Which is six feet beneath the surface.""Hmm," Mrs. Ryleigh exhaled, stood up, and strolled to him. She cupped up his jaw and stared into his eyes. "You're like a son to me even though you are my daughter's lover Daniel. I love you as much as I love Daisy if not more. I can't sit back and watch you walk into your death. Nope
