Morgan Marguerite sighed, tousled her hair, and shrugged off. "You know I had no choice, Theodora. There was no way I could've saved you and saved myself. You should be thankful that I gave my life in exchange for yours."

"Yea, whatever," Theodora scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Save me the preaching and answer my question. Why are you here?"

"Ain't you overdoing your torture on them? Isn't it time for you to move on with your life and let the past be in the past?"

"It isn't, mother. I'm not yet satisfied. I'll never stop till every one of them dies."

"I feel it's time to move on, daughter. Get a life of your own. Get a man. Make babies. Be happy and forget about the past."

"Don't tell me that shit!" Theodora suddenly yelled and a great thunder rumbled. "I lost you! I lost father! I never felt motherly and fatherly love and you're asking this of me..." She paused, blowing in hiccups and with just a stare at the mirror hung on the wall it shattered.

"I know how you feel daughter..."

"No, you don't! Yea, you died so I could live but do you know how I suffered to get food to eat? Do you know how I got clothes? Do you know how I felt those nights I couldn't sleep? Do you know how I felt those nights I felt cold due to the coldness of the cave? Do you know?"

"Daughter," her mum called and tried to hold her but she flinched and jerked away from her.

"I grew up in pain, sorrow, and misery. For days I battled things unknown. Battled with my deep emotions. Battled with the hate that wanted to overwhelm me until it finally did when I couldn't control it. Alone I mastered my powers. I had no fucking body by my side! Those mortals took away love and happiness from me. And you think I'll let them have those? Never!"

Morgan Marguerite turned her back on her and great air began blowing roundabout her. Her skin began glowing and her red-colored eyes changed to dark green. Her hair began flying around and all the hair on her body stood on end. "Your father also feels you're overdoing this."

Theodora's eyes widened and she strolled to her mum. She turned her over and cupped her cheeks staring deeply into her eyes. "Who is my father? Is he alive or dead? Is he a witch like us or a mortal?"

Morgan Marguerite stared at her without saying anything.

"Speak!" Theodora growled, glaring at her and her body began glowing as well but her mum still said nothing. Her mum stared at her for a while and without uttering a word vanished.

"A dark cloud hovers around you. Beware of the male on which the sun sets upon cause he shall be your weakness and if care is not taken shall also be your doom. Be warned." Even though Morgan had already vanished, her last words still resonated all over the place.

Morgan furrowed her brows and ran her hand through her hair. 'What does mum mean by all that?' She wondered. 'And why is it hard for her to tell me who my dad is? What is she keeping away from me?'

"Gosh! I'm tired of your secrets!" She wailed to the empty air, stamped her feet, punched the air, and stomped out.

***

Daniel and his mate Daisy arrived home after several minutes of walking and sauntered inside his room, their breathing coming out in short waves due to how long they've walked.

"I need to freshen up," he whispered and without waiting for her reply, stripped and ambled to the bathroom. Daisy watched him walk into the bathroom and smiled. She stripped and joined him too. Both walked out minutes later, dressed up, and relaxed on the bed getting engulfed in the thoughts of all that happened earlier.

Daniel unknowingly slept off while thinking and while he was still sleeping, Daisy quickly prepared Pastry. She dished it into a flat plate, dropped it into a tray, dropped two glasses of wine, and strolled back into the room.

"Baby," she called, patting the sleeping Daniel. "Wake up, baby. Food is ready."

The sweet scent of Pastry slipped into Daniel's nostrils and he stirred open his eyes. "What's that smell?" He asked, rubbing his eyes.

Daisy chuckled, dropped the food in his front, and swatted his arm jokingly. "That is what is smelling." She giggled.

"Hmm. Looks yummy." Daniel grinned and licked his lips. "I'm so hungry. Thank you, babe. Oh." He yawned and picked up his fork. He dug in and began eating. "So sweet," he moaned.

Daisy chuckled and dug in as well, both feeding each other at intervals, their love so radiant on their faces. They finished eating after a short while and Daisy took out the dishes and washed them off immediately. She walked back in and checked the time to see it was midday. "I need to go, baby. My parents might be worried about me. You know I'm all they have. Please come and escort me."

Daniel mutely nodded and stood up. "Let's go."

Daisy entwined their hands and they walked out, giggling at any little thing they see.

They got to her house and Daniel turned to leave but Daisy held his hand, having a worried look on her face. "What is it, babe?"

She sighed and caressed his palm. "Promise me you will be fine and won't try anything stupid."

"I've been fine all this while so why are you suddenly asking me to promise you that I'll be fine?" He asked with a raised brow.

"Just promise, baby," Daisy whined and pouted.

"Fine, I promise. Can I go now?"

She shook her head, having a babyish grin on her face. "It's remaining the last promise. Promise that you won't try anything stupid."

"But..."

"Please," she mumbled, interrupting him and blowing him a kiss.

"I promise. Now, can I go?"

"So you won't give your babe a goodbye kiss?" She pouted and eyed him.

Daniel chuckled and gave her a quick kiss. "Now, can I go?"

"Bye," she giggled and rushed inside.

Daniel shook his head, smiled, and walked out.

He kept walking and was halfway to his home when the air suddenly thickened and he looked up as his face have been down only to behold the worst nightmare of Hilton Bale, Theodora standing before him with a grin plastered on her beautiful but scary face. A jabbing shock shook through him down to his bone marrow, sending electric shivers through him.

"Theodora" he breathed, wide-eyed.

    "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
