The Secret Princess (In Love With The Demon Assassin)

Written by

Prologue:

6pm

"What is going on father? Why that sad look in your face?" Princess Elena asked her father when she saw his look and how he entered her room.

"There is trouble my dear." King Eremus, the King of Eras Kingdom, answered his daughter.

"Trouble? What is causing the trouble father?" Princess Elena asked.

"Princess Irel is dead." King Eremus revealed.

"What!?" Princess Elena shrieked in shock.

"Yes my daughter, she was found dead on her bed this morning, the same mark was on her body. It is the same killer who has been killing all the dead princesses, who killed Irel." King Eremus said sadly.

"My friend is gone just like that? We talked to each other on the phone last night. Why is the killer bent on killing only Princesses, what are his or her aim in doing this? Why Irel, why her?" Princess Elena asked no one in particular.

"I said I should inform you of her death my dear so you will be more careful from now onwards, we don't know who the assassin's next target is." King Eremus said and left his daughter's room.

Princess Elena is a very beautiful 20 year old lady. Her hair was mercury-purple and it tumbled over her shoulders and reaching her waist. She had saccharine sweet lips. They were blossom soft that a guy would love to have a taste. She had a cheerful character and that was what made almost all the princesses want to be her friend. She also had a shapely figure that beat all the Princesses, but she makes sure she always wear oversized clothes to cover her shape. And her eyes were rapture-purple eyes like her hair, oddly.

A purple eyes?

No one knows about it except her father and mother. She normally wears blue contacts over her purple eyeballs.

She stood up from her bed and walked over to her room window. Looking across the horizon. Their palace was located at the far end of the Kingdom.

Elena ponder why someone will wake up one day and started killing princesses. Irel will make it the 10th princesses who had died under this strange assassin.

If the killer comes for her any day, she won't go down without a flight. Her father had seen to it that she was properly trained well by the strongest Knight in the Kingdom.

Irel, such a beautiful soul was gone just like that.

Elena cried for her dead friend.

8pm:

Somewhere far away in France, the moans of a lady could be heard in a hotel room as she cries softly.

"Harder, Eric, give it to me."

The hard slapping of skins could be heard more clearly. As the handsome guy with midnight black hair Bleep the lady to oblivion. He titled the lady neck he to one side of the bed and sink his fangs into her neck, drinking her blood in large gulp as he thrust into her harder than before.

He growled lowly and cum inside of her.

The lady who was weak from the blood he drank from her body smiled weakly at him.

"You will not remember me or having sex with me. You came here drunk by yourself." The handsome guy said as he hypothesized the lady on the bed. His dark eyes flashed gold.

The lady nodded weakly.

"Now sleep and forget about tonight." He ordered.

The lady did as she was told. She slept off immediately.

He came down from the bed, wear his clothes, drop some dollars on the table for the lady to use once she wakes up and left the hotel room. Using his hood to cover his face.

Leaving the expensive Hotel, the girls around the hotel started drooling for his hot body as he walked past them and walked towards his Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4.

He entered his car and drove off going towards his destination.

____

Somewhere not too far from the hotel in another hotel, a cheaper one.

In one of the occupied room, a young man whose face was covered was seen cleaning his blades as he awaits for the clock to move. Just one more hour.

He has another Princess to kill tonight.

Chapter 10

'The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.'

❤❤❤❤ A SURPRISE VISIT ❤❤❤❤

Continuation from Rae and Lillian:

"By the way granny, how come you know Avonmora gave birth to a daughter?" Rae asked. "Because you just told me not to tell anyone, which means you're the only one who know."

"That's because I don't want anyone to know about her existence therefore putting her in grave danger." Lillian responded. "Start eating your food before it gets cold." She added.

"You speak of Avonmora daughter as if you knew her whereabouts grandma." Rae said going back to her food and started eating.

"I don't know her whereabouts and even if I do, I won't revealed that to anyone."

"And why is that? If I were to be Avonmora's daughter, I will reveal myself to everyone. By my calculations, she is the last mermaid and a half demon, it's not everyday you see such species." Rae said

"What if she had found out her life would be in danger if she revealed herself, and decided to keep herself hidden." Lillian said. "If you are in her shoes won't you do the same Rae?"

"Well that depends on the kind of danger I find myself in which I am not at the moment, but if the danger is bigger than me, then I will hide ." Rae answered. "So what of danger can Avonmora daughter be hiding from, that would prevent her from showing herself?"

Lillian took a deep breath as she tried to come up with something intelligent, knowing Rae, she won't let the matter rest until she had gotten her answer. Rae was as stubborn as her father.

"You know that gate you saw, the Gate of Darkness." Lillian said to which Rae nodded her head. "Well, if Avonmora daughter is found, she shall be sacrificed and her blood used in closing the Gate Of Darkness forever. Tamara the priestess told the council of elders and everyone has been on the lookout to find the last mermaid. Though no one knows she is Avonmora daughter, they all assumed that they're looking for an ordinary mermaid."

"If that's the danger Avonmora daughter is, surely I will hide. But why would she revealed herself to you, I mean there are others out there she can choose to reveal herself to, why you?"

Another intelligent question.

"Well that's because her mother and I were good friends, that was why Avonmora confided in me when she was pregnant and perhaps, her daughter felt that same connection with me."

"Oh, so when I can see her?" Rae asked with hopes high, she would like to make friends with the last mermaid.

"Soon I guess, it's been long she revealed herself to me." Lillian lied quickly.

Rae didn't say anything afterwards, she continued her food and finished it at last.

"Don't worry about the plate my child, I will wash it, go and rest, you need." Lillian said as soon as Rae reaches for her empty plate.

"Thank you granny." Rae said, stood up from her seat and started going towards the staircase but stopped, turning to face her grandmother. "What happened to the mermaid kingdom?"

"It's still there but isolated. By now it must have grown into a forest since we were banned from going nearer to it."

"I guess it's the Priestess who also said that."

"Yes, it was a message from the gods."

"So how can one find their way to the mermaid kingdom?"

"It isn't far from here, just follow the part that leads to that forest behind the witches kingdom, and follow the right road, you will see the caves where all the Mermaids once lived but….." Lillian started to describe the place and stopped. "Why are you asking about the road to the Mermaids kingdom? Don't tell me you plan on going there?"

Rae laughed out loud as if what she heard was hilarious.

"Who wants to go there before, I wouldn't even dream of going there if I was paid." Rae said with a disgusted look on her face and then pretended to yawn.

"Okay, go and rest, you won't be attending any school till next week." Lillian said.

Rae nodded her head and quickly climbed the stairs and entered her room, collapsing on her bed she started setting her plans.

She only said that so that her grandmother won't suspect a thing. She planned on going to the mermaid Kingdom later on, and since she won't attend school for now, she will use one of the days to go to the mermaid Kingdom.

Rae closed her eyes to sleep, for now, she needed her beauty sleep.

****

Lolly snarled at whoever that stood in her way as she match to Jason class. When she got there, the door was closed and she entered it without even knocking.

Jason was at the center of the class, reading a book. He was the only one in that class.

"Yes, what can I do for you Lolly?" Jason asked without lifting up his face from the book.

"You didn't punish that stupid girl for what she did to me." Lolly said in anger.

"And why should I punish her?" Jason asked absentminded.

"Because she disgraced me in front of the whole school Jason, and I am your bride. Whoever offends me should be punished!" Lolly yelled.

"Well said Lolly, what's stopping you from punishing her then?" Jason asked and this time, he stares at her with his coldest look that makes people tremble in fear whenever they stare at him.

Lolly quickly removed her eyes from him and faces another direction. She was terrified whenever she saw that look.

"Because you are my husband to be and since everyone feared you except Jorkallun, you could have at least shaken her a little bit."

"I see, it's all about your reputation. If you had really cared about your reputation, you wouldn't have engage her in a fight with your three best warriors. You should be ashamed that as my bride to be that she beat the four of you together." Jason said calmly and return back to his book.

His mother that has been bedridden and couldn't speak for years was the actual reason he accepted to be engaged to Lolly. It was her wish, she wrote it out for him and his father to see, when Tamara had gone inside her chamber to speak with her.

He doesn't love her, but he would do anything for his mother. Tamara had told him once that Tribrid species doesn't have a mate. He doesn't believe in the gods and cared less about what they say, but this was his mother.

And his decision has cost him his friendship with Jorkallun.

"So are you trying to say you won't do anything to that stupid girl?" Lolly asked, she was not that surprised.

"Fight your fight yourself Lolly, now get out of here, don't make me repeat myself." Jason said quietly.

Lolly left the classroom faster than her shadows.

She will have to deal with the new girl herself.

A plan began to form in her head.

***

Two Days Later:

It was evening.

It has been two days since she had left the house. Rae had tried all her technique on Lillian to allow her to go outside but to no avail.

"I don't want you to go outside Rae, don't ask me why, if you love your grandmother like you claimed, you will do as I have instructed." Lillian had told Rae.

She doesn't want her to meet with the priestess. Tamara had made the announcement that she would be visiting all the witches school and the supernaturals to check their gifts, every single one of them as long as you're a witch.

Allowing Rae to go out there is a possibility that she may meet Tamara and that is what she is avoiding.

Rae was still in her room- sulking and disappointed that her grandma won't allow her to go outside- when she heard someone knocking at the front door, she didn't move an inch since she knows Lillian will answer the door.

She soon heard voices and she was curious to know who was that.

Her curiosity won, she left her bed and tip toe out of her room and down the stairs, she followed the voices to their living room. She was surprised when she recognized a voice speaking with her grandmother, she hid herself and then started eavesdropping on their conversation.

____

Opening the door, Lillian was very surprised when she saw her visitor. She had to clear her throat a multiple times before she could say anything. Opening the door wider for her visitor to enter.

"Jorkallun, what a very surprised visit." Lillian said with a smile as she usher the dragon boy in. "Please sit down."

Jorkallun had sat down on one of the chairs he saw, making himself at home before Lillian had even say 'Please sit down'.

"What can I offer you Jorkallun?"

"I am okay, thank you."

"So why are you here?" Lillian said going straight to the point.

"I came to check on Rae, she hasn't been to school for the past two days now." Jorkallun said and made some notes appeared and floating in front of him. "These are what she missed in school for the two days she stayed at home."

Surprised but collected the books. "Thank you. She was sick that is why she couldn't make it, but I can assure you that she will resume fully next week." Lillian said with a smile.

"Okay, I also came here to discuss something important with you." Jorkallun said.

"And what can that be?" Lillian demanded.

"I don't know if you're aware of this, but there is a hidden spell in Rae. My dragon sense the magic the first day he saw her. The spell makes someone appear what they are not, and hide their real identity."

Lillian was very shocked, as much as she tried to keep the shock away from her face, she couldn't.

"By your look, I am now certain you know about the hidden spell. If you are trying to hide something away from her, then you better double up the spell. If I can be able to sense it, whosoever that you're hiding it from can also sense it." Jorkallun said.

"Thank you Jorkallun, I really appreciate. I will double the spell on her. I hope you won't tell anyone." Lillian said in fear.

"It's not my secret to tell, so I won't." Jorkallun gave out his word.

What secret and why would her grandmother place a hidden spell on her. She decided to make her presence known without pretending.

"What secret?" Rae asked as she came out of her hiding place. "Hello Jorkallun." She added as she went to sit right next to him.

Lillian was surprised when she saw Rae. "No secret dear, I thought you were sleeping?"

"Yeah I was but I decided to come down for a drink, and I overheard you talking."

"Why didn't you use your magic to teleport water to your room."

"Stop changing the topic granny, I heard everything." Facing Jorkallun she asked. "What hidden spell are you talking about?"

"It's not my place to tell." Jorkallun said, he also wanted to know why Rae had that spell in her.

Rae faced her grandmother. "I am now old enough to keep secrets too granny, so what spell did you place on me and why would you do that?"

"Like I said, there is no secret Rae, get it out of your mind."

Standing up angrily. "Grandmother, I am not a little kid anymore. Why would you put a hidden spell on me? What are your reason exactly?" Lillian couldn't answer. "WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR YOU TO SAY IT!" Rae yelled.

Lillian stood up and slap Rae hard on her face. "You do not speak to me in such manner young lady, I am saving your neck and that is it. You can't force me to say what I don't want to say in my own home. THERE IS NO SECRET."

Without saying a word back, Rae ran out of the house that night, ignoring the calling of her name from Lillian.

Lillian started crying.

"Crying won't solve it. I will bring her back, but you have to tell her your reason, letting her know will remove a lot of burden from your shoulder." Jorkallun said and went after Rae.

____

Rae didn't know where she was going, she needed to find a place and clear her mind, she didn't mean to shout at her grandmother. The moon helped her in seeing her way.

She was running when suddenly a very huge red dragon blocked her path. She wanted to scream but stopped when she saw the dragon transformed back to the pretty boy she knew from school.

Rae hasn't seen that she was heading straight to the Mountain where the Crocottas lives, if Jorkallun hadn't blocked her, she would have fallen over the mountain and get eaten together with her soul.

"Come with me." Jorkallun said and started leading the way, turning briefly to see if Rae was following, which she was.

Higher they went until they reached the top of the mountain.

Jorkallun sat down over the edge of the mountain and didn't say a word. Rae sat down beside him. They sat side by side, looking over the mountain below, blanketed by the night as they faced the horizon.

"So, is this your super secret thinking spot?" Rae asked with a side-long glimpse at Jorkallun, her anger forgotten.

"Yes, I stumbled on it by accident one day when I was alone and upset, and looking to escape."

Rae looked out into the distance, but it just looked black to Rae. Bleak. She could barely make out the Crocottas she knew lay below.

"Escape from what?"

"From everyone and everything. That night, I left and ended up here. I sat right where we are. I looked out on the horizon, and tried to figure out the best time..."

Jorkallun's words drifted.

"Best time to what?" Rae ventured.

Jorkallun looked at Rae who was staring at him, then he looked away and swallowed.

"To jump."

Chapter 9

'Secrets are like scars. The cut may no longer be there, but the scar’s white line tells a story. Unless you share it, it’s like you’re hiding a part of yourself the whole world can already see. They may not know the how or the why, but they see it just the same. And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.'

❤❤❤❤ SECRETS AND THAROLLIN❤❤❤❤

Sarah turned to study Rae before turning back to Avonmora.

"Why do you say so?" Sarah asked curiously. "Avonmora had been like this for the past 1,000 years." She added.

"I don't know why I said that, but I am very sure that this frozen lady here, is much alive." Rae sounded so sure of herself. She could feel the strange tingles in her fingers, when she touched the woman's cheek, it wasn't icing as she had expected it to be, it was very warm. And her eyes, it speak of someone who had lost something. Rae leaned nearer to the face and stare at frozen eyes. Something doesn't seem right here and she was going to ask her mother to tell her more about this frozen woman.

"She is really beautiful." Rae said slowly studying the lady's face.

"Yes she is, my grandmother once told me that she was the most beautiful maiden in the entire Kingdoms." Sarah responded. Truly, Avonmora was beautiful.

Removing her hands from Avonmora cheek, facing her friend. "Come on, let's get out of here before someone sees us." Rae said.

"I was just waiting to hear that from you?" Sarah said with a smile as they walked out of there towards the gate. Rae turned for the last time to look at the frozen lady, she felt as if it was calling her to come back, her eyes said it all, for a moment, Rae had sworn that she saw a brief light that came out from the lady's eyes when she had touched her. Reaching the gate, Sarah locked it exactly the way it was and put the keys back inside her boots.

As the gate was locked, Rae felt as if a part of her were locked inside, she shook that feeling away and started thinking.

Sarah saw the look on Rae's face and decided to ask.

"What are you thinking?"

"Tharollin." Was Rae simply answer.

"Tharollin? What happened to him?" Sarah asked confusedly.

"Didn't your grandmother told you anything else concerning this demon king?"

"Nope, only that he betrayed the queen of mermaids, he broke the trust he had from Avonmora, I told you my grandmother forgets a lot of things so she couldn't remember." Sarah answered. "But I will tell you something, ask your grandmother, she was amongst the few who witnessed everything. My grandmother only heard hers from rumor, so if you want to know more about the demon King ask your grandmother, she is in the best position in telling you." Sarah added and they continue their journey back to the school.

"So where does this priestess of ours lives?"

"At the top of that mountain." Sarah answered and pointed at the highest mountain surrounding them.

Rae followed Sarah's finger and saw nothing at the top of the mountain she voice out her thoughts. "But I see no house or tent on it."

"Yeah, the priestess comes and goes like she wants. No one had actually know where she lived, we only know that she appeared from that mountain and disappeared at that same mountain." Sarah replied. By this time they were about to enter the school compound when Rae stops.

"I don't feel like going back in there today, I want to go home. Everything I saw today seem to overwhelmed me and going back to school would make me took for trouble, which I have been avoiding." Rae told her.

"Okay," Sarah said.

"Oh and you must not tell anyone what you saw, you know placing my hand on that frozen lady."

"I won't, I promise." Sarah promised and smiled. "So since I have memorized your rules about fighting when you beat up those Amazon's, when are you going to teach your new student how to fight?" She added.

"If you're ready I will know, but for now, I know you're not ready to learn." Rae said with a smile as she remembered how she had kicked their ass. "I better start going home and not delay you for your next class." She added as she touched her bracelet and a portal opened right in front of them.

"Take care Rae, see you tomorrow."

Rae waved and entered the portal, once it closes, Sarah quickly entered the school compound and made her way to her next class.

****

Tamara who was sitting inside her cave, felt the presence of the water man heading towards her.

"I haven't figured out where the last mermaid might be yet my Lord." Tamara said with her back facing the water man. She stood up and knelt before him. The water raised up his hand which signified Tamara to stand up.

"I know that Tamara, but that is not the reason why I am here, you see, a thought just crossed my mind and I came here to share it with you." The water said.

"My Lord, what then do you want to share with me?" Tamara asked with her head bowed.

"I think a witch is hiding the last mermaid."

"A witch? Why do say so my Lord?"

"My instinct told me so, if not, where can she be hiding. I told you I once felt that she had been conceived and suddenly, I couldn't feel her aura again, it was as if she was killed, but today, I thought differently. What if a witch is the one hiding the last mermaid away from us. Avonmora soul moved aggressively today and stopped, her soul hasn't done that for the past 1,000 years ago." The water man said. "And you know my instincts never lie."

"Then I will check in the witches school and the supernaturals, and will have to come up with an excuse from the gods, telling all the witches and Jack that they were the ones who had sent me to check on them." Tamara suggested.

"Perfect plan Tamara, no one hasn't suspected a thing for so long. Tharollin is closer and will soon collect my bones, we don't have much time." The water man said.

"Of course my Lord."

"What about your sister's son, ask Rosa to get ready."

"Yes my Lord."

The water man disappeared leaving Tamara to her own thoughts.

***

Rae stepped out of the portal and wasn't surprised when she saw her grandmother standing right next to her.

"What happened, why are you back so early?" Lillian demanded.

"I was down and became homesick, so I decided to come home straight." Rae answered.

"Okay, why don't you go to your room and change then come back to eat." Lillian said as she entered the kitchen.

Rae didn't reply back, she quickly walked up the stairs and entered her room, showered and change her clothes to the ones she normally wear at home.

Coming down the stairs, she sat on her chair awaiting her food.

Lillian came out of the kitchen and gave Rae her food.

"I called Jack and told him that you are home sick, so he said you should take the whole week off and resume school next week." Lillian said expecting Rae to start eating which sh didn't. "What is it Rae? Did something happen in your school that you are not telling me?"

"No grandma, nothing happened in school. I came across a lady today when I was taking a stroll." Rae said cutting off Sarah.

"What lady, was she the one who had offended you?" Lillian asked worriedly.

"No, I saw a gate behind the school compound and climbed inside it. Then I saw the lady, she was frozen and was standing right in front of a gate called the Gate of Darkness."

Lillian eyes were filled in shocked.

"You saw Avonmora?" Lillian whispered asked.

"Yes, and I touched it, grandma you won't believe that where I touched shone brightly. And I felt within me that Avonmora is still alive. Why was she frozen?"

"She was betrayed by her lover and has to pay the consequences of her actions. She was warned but she was blinded by love. I wouldn't blame her, who wouldn't do anything for your soulmate. She paid with her life." Lillian said sadly.

"So tell me more about Tharollin, the demon King."

"He was Lucifer son, the Prince of Hades. Back then, Lucifer was the ruler over us before it was taken forcefully away from him. Tharollin helped the gods by defeating his father, he gave his father's bones to the gods who then throw it at the bottomless pit behind that evil gate. Tharollin was then given the King of Demons, he was a very good person, but all that changed one day, the Tharollin we know, changed into a cold hearted person. He kills and doesn't feel remorseful. He became greedy for powers and started a war with us, just like his father, he wants to rule over us again. He was defeated, later on, I realized that was his plans to fake his defeat and meet the healers, and when he met Avonmora, the gods made them mates. And he betrayed her and opened the Gate of Darkness, and entered it, he wants to bring out his father's bones." Lillian explained.

"Why then Avonmora didn't try to persuade him to stay back?"

"Avonmora tried and even told him about his child she was carrying, Tharollin still left."

"That's so selfish of him."

"Yes, you wouldn't blame him, Demons hardly bear children."

"So what happened to Avonmora child, did they killed the child?"

"The child is saved, but you must not tell anyone that I told you Avonmora has a child. One day, she will be revealed." Lillian said with hope in her voice.

***

He was so close to where the bones were. Tharollin landed at last on the bare floor of the bottomless pit he had entered many years ago, coming out of the pit was simple. His feet the matching bones that lay on the floor as started going further.

His had father came to meet him and asked Tharollin to forgive him if he had wronged him. Tharollin had forgiven him.

"I will make you the king of all Supernaturals if you will do as I say." Lucifer had told him in the new form he took.

"King of all the supernatural." Tharollin had mused. He was suddenly interested.

"Yes, you shall be great and powerful and have all the powers of the supernatural, think about this my son."

"Even if I want to agree, I don't want to kill.

"You will not kill but killing is necessary, just bring back my bones that was thrown in the Gate of Darkness, and I shall help you be the King." Lucifer lied.

Tharollin had agreed to do it not knowing his father had a plan. When he fakes his own defeat, he ran knowing fully well he was going to run into one of the Mermaids, his plan was to kidnap one of the healers, their queen, and take her with him, and forcefully rape her and use her blood. But he met Avonmora and found out she was his soulmate.

"I can't continue anymore father, Avonmora is my mate and that changes everything, if I do as planned, she and her people might ger killed, which I don't want."

"Don't worry Tharollin, none of them shall be harmed, I assure you, no harm shall come to them, I will make the priestess cover them up so that they will live." Lucifer lied.

And Tharollin went along with the plan.

He walked on, and saw the bones of his father in midair and walk towards it. When he was within arm reach, he heard the snapping of bones and turned to see all the bones scattered around had began to form as a complete sekelon.

"You can not take the bones of Lucifer away from here." They said together and attacked.

Tharollin roared as black wings stretch wide behind him, two black horns coming out of his forehead, his hand began to form a sword. He charged at them.

His mind was on Avonmora, he hopes his father had kept to his words.

Chapter 8

'Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up. Success comes from stubborn perseverance and the tenacity not to admit defeat.'

❤❤❤❤ AVONMORA ❤❤❤❤

Jason who has been staring heatedly at Jorkallun turned his gaze on Rae.

"What did you just utter?" Jason asked in anger, his eyeballs changing from white to pure red. His skin going pale the more.

For the first time in her whole life Rae felt afraid. She was grateful that she was sitting down and Jorkallun is right next to her, she prevented her fears from showing in her face and opened her mouth to answer, but Jorkallun beat her to it.

"You heard her, so stop pretending as if you didn't. Just because you're the son of the king doesn't mean your bride to be should be rude. She doesn't have any right to give out any rules that are not in the school rules." Jorkallun said calmly. "Under the circumstances, I will forget what I swore to do if I ever set my eyes on you, but get the hell out of my sight before I change my mind."

He said in anger, the school knows that they don't see eye to eye, and they made sure Jason and Jorkallun part never crossed each other.

In a blur of movement so swift that Rae couldn't follow it. Jason raised his arm and hurled a knife made of fire across the room. It sliced into the desk, a quarter inch away from Jorkallun's feet. The pretty red haired boy wasn't even scared, rather he raised one of his legs and pushed out the fire knife away from his desk.

"You don't fucking tell me what to do!" Jason yell.

"Unless you want to fight with me and repeat history itself, I will advise you to tell your bride to come and fight for herself, they are both ladies, this situation doesn't concern you. So I will say it again, if you have a problem with her, face me and not her, she is now under my wings, the same way Lolly is under yours." Jorkallun said in a tired voice as he stretches out his arms.

Jason turned to face Rae with the most ferocious look. "You are just lucky he got involved in this, stay out of my way if you don't want to DIE early, because if you don't, even him can not stop me ." Jason said in a stern warning to Rae and vanished into thin air, before he vanished, Rae briefly saw a pair of fire wings.

Rae had to blinked her eyes twice to confirm what she saw, did Jason just disappeared? Was that wings she saw? He is a wolf and werewolf eyes doesn't change and they don't disappear. How come Jason wolf is different?

A lot of questions that needed an answer and she doesn't think Jorkallun will tell her.

She turns her head towards Jorkallun who has already shifted to his seat, ignoring her whole existence, he was already placing his head on the desk when he suddenly stops and he faced Rae.

"Don't cross his part as he had said Rae, I am not as strong as he is, I might be a Dragon, but there are certain limits I can go. The only reason he didn't fight with me is because of our past friendship, so to avoid trouble, stay in your own lane." Jorkallun said with a cold voice and finally place his head on the desk.

Rae had noticed throughout their entire conversation, they didn't mention their names, whatever causes their separation was really deep. She made up her mind to find out what had really happened and maybe try to bring back their friendship between them once again.

Starting from Jorkallun, she was going to make the pretty boy smile and be friends with that handsome white haired boy.

Rae has forgotten the audience they had, it wasn't until Serena Birdrock voice spoke to the students outside that she remembered them.

"The show is now over students, go back to your various classes." Serena Birdrock announced as she made her way inside her class.

The students quickly disperse as they went into their various classes. Some entered the class Rae was.

Only one thing runs through their minds. Jason didn't fight and Jorkallun stood up for the new girl.

"So, that went well, at least the two pair didn't fight or destroy the whole school again." Serena said referring to Jason and Jorkallun. "So yesterday I asked you all to find out who was the first witch Queen, so who has the answer to that?"

All the students in the class turned to look at Rae.

Rae wondered why all her classmates were staring at her including Sarah.

"Why are those big heads staring at me?"

"You do realize that you are the only witch in this class, so my guess is that they are looking at you to tell me the answer." Serena answered.

"Oh, I don't know either." Rae said with a wave of her hand.

"But I thought your grandmother is Lillian?" Serena asked.

"Yes you are right, but I still don't know. You can ask Jorkallun, he knows everything and will gladly answer you, but me, I am still learning." Rae added with a wry smile.

Serena didn't press the matter any further as Rae mentioned Jorkallun.

"The first queen of the witches, her name was Queen Barb, the great grand mother of Lillian." Serena told the class as she flew around them.

"So today, we are going to talk about different kinds of creatures we have in the whole Supernaturals." Serena told her class. "Who can tell me the type of creatures we have?"

A male student raised up his hand.

"Yes, Al."

"We have the Arachnes creatures." Al said.

"And what are they?" Serena asked.

"Arachnes are supernatural creatures who have abilities similar to those of spiders." Al answer.

"Correct Al, who else."

Another male student raised up his hand.

"Yes James."

"We have the Crocotta creatures."

"And what are they?" Serena asked.

"Crocottas can mimic any person's voice to lure their victims out so they can feed. They feed on souls." James answered correctly.

"Very good James, who else again?"

This time around, a girl raised up her hand.

"Yes Joanna?"

"We have the Rakshasa."

"And what are they?"

"Rakshasa are creatures that eat the flesh, they sleep on a bed of dead insects and are great at shapeshifting." Joanna said.

"Correct, we all have different types of Supernatural that King Roen rules, we have, Fairies, Hellhounds, Witches, Centaur, Leviathans, Wolves, Vampires and a lot more."

Rae suddenly raised up her hand.

"Yes Rae what is it?"

"Why haven't any one of you made mention of Demons and Mermaids, or did they not exist?"

Serena shook her head painfully. "We can't mention them Rae, it is forbidden."

"Why? If they can't be mentioned then why are their histories and evidence of their existence not destroyed?" Rae asked intelligently, she had read about them in books.

"The mermaids and Demons did something bad in the past and the priestess made the rules never to mention their names, so let's discuss about others things." Serena said with a smile.

The rest of the day went by smoothly, even in the cafeteria, Rae avoided the Amazons warriors as well. Her mind wasn't there and Sarah noticed it.

"What's bugging you?" Sarah whispered asked since they were still in the Cafeteria and the Amazon's Warriors were eyeing their table.

"Thinking about a lot of things." Rae said not bothering to lower her voice.

"Shhhh, keep your voice down."

"Yes Mom." Rae said rolling her eye balls as she remembered her promise she made to her grandmother.

"So can you tell me what you are thinking?"

"Actually there are two things running in my mind that needs an answer, one is Jason, what type of creature is he and what did Jorkallun mean when he said 'Unless you want to repeat history itself'? What history was he talking about?"

"Well Jason is a Tribrid, and also, didn't I tell you they once fought, the cause of their fight is still unknown to us till date, it took a whole year for the school to be rebuilt again. And since they don't see eye to eye, they made Jason and Jorkallun their own different special class, that's why you hardly see Jason, but Jorkallun, still comes to his old class which you met him." Sarah finished explaining.

"I see, I have to make them friends again, they are too pretty and handsome for them to be keeping malice." Rae said after a while.

Sarah laughed slowly that you wouldn't hear it, "And you think you can achieve that?"

"I know I can."

"Okay, I am not running or going away anytime soon, so what is your second thoughts?"

"Demons and mermaids." Rae answered briefly. "I want to know why they aren't mention and what they did."

Looking around them carefully before Sarah whispered lowly, "Follow me."

With that Sarah stood up from the chair as Rae did the same, together they walked out of the cafeteria. Rae saw Lolly staring at her with heated eyes which she returns with a smirk.

Following Sarah, they walked out of the school compound and Sarah took Rae to the back of the school where another gate is, it was heavily padlocked.

Sarah removed one of her boots and collect the keys from it. Seeing the looks Rae was giving her, she smiled and told her. "My grandmother is the gatekeeper of this gate, I have the keys because she normally forget where she kept it."

"I didn't ask you." Rae said with a smile.

Sarah, with the keys, opened all the padlocks they used on the gate. Opening the gate she entered.

"Follow me." Sarah said and they went inside the gate.

Going further and further, Sarah stopped in her movement when she saw what she wanted to show Rae.

"Where are we?" Rae asked as she saw herself facing a Huge gate that was not closed completely, and has nothing holding it, it stood alone. Standing right in front of the gate was a frozen lady. She felt drawn to her

"We are at the Gate of Darkness, the gate I had unlocked when coming suppressed the dark powers coming out from this Gate of Darkness, since it hasn't been closed permanently." Sarah explained.

"And who is the lady frozen at the front of the gate?" Rae couldn't help but ask.

"She is Avonmora, the queen of mermaid. Her mate was a demon King. Her lover was the reason why there are no mermaids."

"I don't get you? What did the demon king do?"

"According to my grandma, he fought against the entire realm but lost the battle and the demons were seized, we don't know where the rest of the demons are kept. Avonmora pleaded on his behalf but he betrayed her and used her in opening the Gate of Darkness. The gods spoke to the priestess and they demanded the blood of all the Mermaids, which they use in closing the Gate."

"But it is not closed fully, why?"

"The priestess said that it remains one mermaid blood to close the gate forever, up till now, no one has ever seen any mermaid." Sarah said. "Wherever she is hiding, I hope one day she is fished out."

Rae couldn't say a thing, she saw herself going closer to the frozen lady, standing right in front of her, she raised up her hand and touched Avonmora face.

Where she touched shone.

Sarah gasped out in shock when she saw the light coming from where Rae had touched. She went over to where Rae stood.

"That's strange, Avonmora has never shone like this whenever she was touched." Sarah said aloud surprised.

"Really?" Rae asked in surprise as well as Sarah nodded her head, "Because I also find it strange that this lady I just touched, is still alive."

****

The water man stares at the crystal stone that helped the soul of Avonmora in it as it was moving around it aggressively, as if it was trying to break itself free.

"Be patient Avonmora, is just a matter of time before you will be finally laid to rest." The water man said to the crystal stone in his hands.

The water man could feel Tharollin almost reaching where the gods had kept his bones. His only hindrance now was finding out where the last mermaid is. Without her blood, all his plans he had laid out will fail.

He knew she had been born, he felt it, but when he tried to search for the last mermaid, somehow, he couldn't find her. It was as if an invisible force was hiding her, as if a witch was behind it.

Something suddenly clicked in his mind. Perhaps it was a witch that is hiding the mermaid, a very strong witch.

If what he thinks is true, then, who might be the witch hindering him from achieving his aim? Who?

The water man thought.

Chapter 7

'People are guests in our story, the same way we are guests in theirs. But we all meet each other for a reason because every person is a personal lesson waiting to be told. Life is a journey we will meet a lot of temporary people,
But we will meet a person who will be with us till the end of the journey,
Even they enter our journey in between yet they will be sharing the ups and downs in our journey.'

❤❤❤❤ MEETING JASON ❤❤❤❤

King Roen Palace:

King Roen and the fairy Queen, Flora, were seen coming out of the Palace throne room. He was escorting the queen out, who came to discuss some important issues surrounding her kingdom. Her fairy maids and guards were behind them.

They stopped walking once they were outside the palace compound. It was here queen Flora will have to depart.

"Thanks for your suggestions King Roen, I will apply them wisely." Queen Flora said in gratitude.

"The pleasure is mine Flora, I love helping my fellow Kings and Queens as much as I can." Roen responded with a smile on his face. "Send my regards to your husband."

Nodding her head, Queen Flora made as if she wants to fly but stopped in her tracks and turned once again to face the handsome Werewolf General King.

"That reminds, have you not heard the news going round this afternoon?" Queen Flora asked.

"What news Flora?" King Roen asked confusedly.

"Oh, you haven't heard then. I was told that Lolly and her friends were beaten up by a newly transferred girl in school today." Queen Flora finally revealed, she wasn't only here to discuss her Kingdom issue.

"Which of the Lolly are you referring too?"

"Lolly, Jason bride to be. She was disgraced by that new girl. I find it hard to believe that Lolly being one the best Amazon's Warriors, and their queen was beaten up by a single girl, the four of them, including Lolly." Queen Flora said to Roen.

"Impossible, how can Lolly, the future queen of the Supernaturals, let herself to be disgraced, if she knew she couldn't beat up the said girl, why then engage her to a fight?" King Roen asked angrily.

"I wondered too, the news of how Lolly was beaten is everywhere, am even surprised you didn't know of it." Queen Flora said and shrugged her shoulders.

"Who can that girl be? Do you know her name, or what kind of Supernatural she is?" King Roen demanded.

"My sources told me that she was a transfer student from the witches school." One would have realized by now that she didn't come only to the Palace for her kingdom issue, but to gossip as well.

"Thank you for your message, I will see what I can do about it." King Roen said.

"Of course my King." Queen Flora said and bowed before him. "I shall take my leave now." With that she flew out, with her maids and guards behind her.

Roen quickly went back into the palace and approached his son chambers. He knocked twice before entering the room, closing the door behind him.

"Yes father, what is it?" A male voice asked followed with a deep growl.

Today was the ending of the Full Moon, Jason always hate it when the Full Moon arises. He was the only werewolf in the entire Kingdom who will stay in his werewolf form whenever the full moon approaches, the rest changes into their different wolves and changes back to their human form, but him stays a werewolf throughout the week of the full moon. Tonight marks the end of the full moon, by tomorrow, he will be a whole human again.

The air brushed through its short fur, as condensation escaped its cringed snout. Saliva coated its tongue as it brushed against sharp, ivory canines; the occasional drop hitting the floor. Its ears were pulled forward and its lips tucked up. Two white paws stood firm to the floor, the beast lowered it's head while its ember eyes watched every motion his father made.

As much as Jason abhorred the self he became every full moon he could never bring himself to hate his wolf.

King Roen, smiled at the large Wolf in his presence, he felt smaller when the Wolf towered over him. He was very proud that this towering Wolf was his son.

"Lolly was beaten up by a new girl in school today." King Roen said going straight to the point.

"What? Who in the supernaturals doesn't know Lolly is my bride to be?" The Wolf asked out in anger. Even in his werewolf form, he could still talk.

"I guess this new girl doesn't know who Lolly is to you."

"But isn't she the leader of the Amazon's Warriors, why will she allowed a new girl to disgrace her publicly?"

"I thought so too my son, that's what you're going to find out tomorrow when you resume school since tonight ends the full moon. Find out who the girl that beat up Lolly is, I need to know who her parents are." Roen said. "And one more thing, do not use force on her."

Jason wasn't even listening.

****

Early the next morning, Rae woke up before Lillian. She quickly took her bath of hot water and got dressed. She warmed up the leftover food from yesterday and quickly ate her fill. She wants to be among the early birds in school.

She was still eaten when Lillian walked down the stairs, her face that was filled in worries slowly show a sign of relief. Greeting her grandmother.

"I went to check in your room and I couldn't find you, I thought maybe you have been kidnapped." Lillian said as she walked over to where Rae was and kissed her forehead in a motherly way before sitting beside her waiting for her reply.

"Sorry granny, you have been the one waking me up, so I decided to wake up very early and go to school today."

Lillian folded up her arms and stare disbelief at Rae, "Is that it or there is something else you are not telling me?"

"Grandma, I am not hiding anything from you, I really want to go to school early today, that's all." Rae said, how can she tell her grandmother her reason for going that early was to see a particular pretty boy.

"Are sure Rae because from now henceforth, I won't be waking you up for school."

"What if tomorrow morning I get tired and can't wake up early, won't you wake me up grandma?"

"No, I won't Rae, today has shown me that you are capable of waking up yourself, which makes me to realize that, all these years that you have been attending the witches school, I either wake you up or you wake up late on purpose."

"No granny, the witches school was boring, but this new school, is so exciting." Rae said in a happy smile.

"Was that the reason why you decided to beat up Lolly, do you have any idea who she is engaged too?"

"And I don't really care who she's engage too, all I knew was that, she is rude and I have to teach her a lesson." Rae said

"Don't forget the promise you made to me yesterday, that you will never engage in a fight again."

"I remembered granny." Rae said and finished eating her food, she touches her bracelet briefly. "Grandma, why do you want me to wear this bracelet always?"

"I have told you that once you touch it, the bracelet tells me that you are coming home. No matter what you do, do not remove that bracelet from your wrist, as long as you wear it, I will know where ever you are." Lillian said as finish explaining. She couldn't tell Rae it was a half truth, the bracelet hides her scent and made her appear as a normal witch, it also enables her to perform magic like a witches does. And she wasn't lying when she said she would know wherever Rae is.

Deep down her, she wants to open up to Rae about her parents but couldn't, telling her now might even put her in danger, she will tell Rae when it's time, for now, Rae will still be left in the dark.

"Okay, if you say so." Rae stood up from her chair and made the plate disappeared, wash by itself before settling itself amongst the rest clean plates. "I have to start going granny, see you later in the day." Rae said as a portal opened right before her. She stepped into it.

"Be careful and stay out of trouble Rae!" Lillian shouted behind her as the portal closes.

___

Stepping out of the portal, she noticed that every student, including some teachers had stopped and were staring at her as if a princess just arrived.

Feeling less concerned about the stares she was getting, she quickly made her way into her first class, history where she can't wait to see the pretty boy.

She entered the class and realized she was the only one there, she was crestfallen when she couldn't see Jorkallun.

She barely sat down in her seat when she saw someone entered her class. He was very handsome and his long white hair suited him. His eye balls were purely white.

Rae mouth was wide open when she saw him. Who is he? And why is her heading her way in much anger?

"So you are the new girl that beat up Lolly?" Jason asked in anger once he stood in front of the girl he has been told about.

Rae nearly melted by his tone, her heart was beating faster. Her eyebrows raised up as she stared at Mr handsome, she remembered what he had asked her.

"Yup, that's me, I beat their lazy arses especially that girl called Lolly, she was too proud." Rae said in pride as hoped she looked presentable in her clothes, does this school has handsome guys that keeps appearing everyday? Yesterday was the pretty Jorkallun and today another handsome boy. "And who are you, weren't you there yesterday to see the fight? They were rude to me and I have to teach them a lesson."

"I am Jason, and Lolly is my bride to be, how dare you lay your filthy hands on her!" Jason shouted as he introduced himself to the stupid girl.

By now, every student stood near the window and door to see what Jason would do, they were scared of entering the classroom.

Rae eyes widened a bit, this handsome guy that looks as if he wants to kill her was the Jason Sarah spoke about yesterday? Her Granny's warning came to her. "Like I said handsome boy, they were very rude to me, I mean how can someone not make noise in the school cafeteria because they are there? It doesn't work that way, I follow my own rules." Rae said without any inch of fear. "And if they tried that again, I will deal with them again." She added as she flipped her black hair out of her face.

"How dare You!" Jason shouted and made to drag Rae out from her seat but was stopped by a voice.

"I wouldn't try that."

Jason turned to look who spoke and saw Jorkallun who was inside the class no one dares entered.

He silently made his way to his back seat, he placed his legs on the desk. "She is my friend, if you have a problem with her, face me and not her."

Rae blinked her eyes a multiple times when she heard those words from the pretty boy. She could see the hate they had for each other through their eyes.

Two hot guys in her front, one saying she was his friend and the other one angry because she beat up his rude girlfriend. At least she has the pretty boy to her side, once again, Rae hoped she looked more presentable in her choice of clothes now Jorkallun is here.

She smiled and moved closer to Jorkallun, placing her legs on the desk as well, she smirked at an angry Jason.

"You heard him handsome boy, Jorkallun is my friend, face him and not me."

Chapter 6

'Stubborn people get themselves in a lot of trouble, but they also get things done. I'm very determined and stubborn. There's a desire in me that makes me want to do more and more, and to do it right. Each one of us has a fire in our hearts for something. It's our goal in life to find it and to keep it lit.'

❤️❤️❤️❤️ THE AMAZON'S WARRIORS❤️❤️❤️❤️

Rae eyes widened up a bit when she heard that. "You mean to say, Jorkallun fought with his best friend for that girl over there?" Rae whispered asked as her eyes were steady feast on the four girls chatting and laughing away, especially the beautiful one who was the cause of Jorkallun and Jason fight.

"Yes, but like I said, it was a rumor which we don't know if its true or not." Sarah said lowly. "But since you have become friends with Jorkallun, maybe you can get him to talk to you." Sarah suggested.

"Maybe I can, I will try my luck." Rae said "So how do your foods works?"

"You picture what you want to eat in your head and then clap, whatever you picture will appear." Sarah explained.

Rae smiled to her and did exactly what she saw her do earlier on.

The empty plate in front of her was filled with meats. "Wow, I LOVE THIS SCHOOLl!" Rae exclaimed with loud excitement as she saw her plate filled with what she had picture in her mind.

"Shhhh, keep your voice down." Sarah caution her.

"Why should I keep my voice down?"

"The Amazon's Warriors doesn't like noise if they are here, so please lower your voice down."

"Oh, I see." Rae said and stood up to her feet. "I said I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!" She shouted loudly this time and sat down on her chair, looking at Sarah who was suddenly afraid. "Let me see what they got."

The cafeteria became quite immediately.

"What have you done, Lolly and her friends are the best Amazon's Warriors and she is their leader, you are asking for a lot of beating."

"As if---" she was cut short when one of the four girls walk up to their table.

"You are being called to our table by the queen." The girl said with confidence.

"Well as you can see, I am eating, tell your queen to come here herself or better still get me there herself."

The loud gasped coming out from the cafeteria was filled with shocked, even the girl that was sent to bring Rae was shocked.

"Do you know who we are? Who you just insulted?"

Rae glance at the table where Lolly and the remaining two girls were and shrugged her shoulders. "I see three students trying to eat and a stupid fool standing in front of me. In case you have forgotten, I have my own rights." As Rae spoke, she saw at the side of her eyes, the three girls making their way over to her angrily, Lolly seemed to be the angriest of them all.

"Oh, more crowds, in the end you came to meet me.." Rae said with a smile as they surrounded her table.

"Stand her up and beat her." Lolly commanded.

"If I were you, I wouldn't dream of it."

"You are lucky we didn't come with our swords." The girl that was sent to her table first, said.

"You can't beat me even with your weapons."

"You think you can take us on?" One of them asked in anger.

She smiled lazily, stretching back and relaxing. "I know I can."

That did it, for they laughed. "Try us then."

Rae stood up, made a show of stretching, and replied mystically. "Looks can be deceiving, my dear." She smiled innocently, "Who's first then?"

The three girls with Lolly attacked at once, but they didn't stand a chance at all, Rae kicked the three of them at the same time, very fast. They all flew and landed on their backs with a crack of bones.

Lolly saw red and rushed to her, her pride wounded as the crowds surrounding them started whispering Rae's name.

"Lesson one: Never take your attention off your opponent." Rae emphasised this point strongly. Lolly swung a punch aimed for Rae's jaw. She ducked under the blow and danced around behind her. "Lesson two: Don't hesitate. Every second you wait is a second more for your opponent to react faster than you."

Lolly swung at Rae again, more seriously this time. Rae saw the muscles in her right shoulder tense and prepare itself to put force behind her hit and ready her body for the jar it would give her. Rae leaned back, laying below the ground, at the last second and grabbed her forearm.

"Lesson three: Watch your opponent's body language to anticipate their next move." She gave the beautiful girl a quick grin and twisted her wrist inwards, immobilising her arm. In a flash Rae turned around and used her efforts to escape to flip her over her shoulder. Lolly landed in a stunned heap on her back at Rae's feet.

Every student in the Cafeteria mouth were opened wide.

"Lesson four: Even strengths can be used against people. Use their momentum to gain the upper hand. It's not about being the strongest; it's about being the smartest. Sarah, I hope you're listening."

Sarah nodded her head still surprised by what she was seen, did Rae beat up the three best Amazon's Warriors and their queen?

Seeing that none of them was getting up any moment, she sat down to continue her meal. She happened to glance up to see Jorkallun smiling at her from the cafeteria door, before it vanished to be replaced with a deep scowl.

***

Going home, every student were staring at her until she touches her bracelet and a portal opened almost immediately, it was her way of telling Lillian she has closed from school.

"How was your day dear?" Lillian asked immediately she saw her granddaughter stepping out from the portal.

"It was good, I really love that school, I can't wait to go back tomorrow granny."

"I am glad you liked it, hope you didn't fight or caused any trouble?"

"Not at all granny, I was silent as a graveyard throughout today."

Lillian smiled and nodded her head. "Okay, go and shower, your food will be ready."

***

Lillian was coming out of the witches library when she met Jack about to enter. Jack smiled immediately when he saw Lillian. They greeted themselves.

"What are you doing here?" Lillian was the first to ask the werewolf principle, she was surprised to see him at the witches library.

"I came to see a very good friend of mine who invited me over to see her here." Jack explained his reason why he was there.

"Okay, so how was my granddaughter today in school? I hope she didn't cause any problem in her first day?" Lillian asked with a smile on her face.

"Well your granddaughter is something else, she created a scene with Rick and nearly beat up my vice principal." Jack said and saw the surprised look on Lillian face. "Judging from that look of yours, I guess she didn't tell you that."

Lillian nodded her head. "Yes, she told me that she loves the school and didn't cause any trouble."

Jack laughed out, "She did a lot today Mrs Lillian. She beat up the Amazon's Warriors today, all of them, not one was spared, Lolly inculded."

Lillian eyes were like socket right now as she listened to the shocking Revelations that Jack told her.

"She didn't tell me any of these, I am very surprised hearing this from you."

"I think Rae is a special kid." Jack said all of a sudden.

"How do you mean?" Lillian asked fearfully.

"I mean, look at the way she beat up the four best Amazon's Warriors in a twinkle of an eye and became friends with Jorkallun, all in one day." Jack pointed out. "And not to mention of how she flipped Rick form behind her, a thousand years old wolf, it is as if she has a kind of secret powers she is hiding. Because I know witches aren't that strong when it comes to a fight, but Rae is an exceptional." Jack finishes with a smile on his handsome face.

"Yes, she is exceptional, you know Rae was trained, due to the sudden death of her parents, I had her trained secretly. I am so sorry for what she did today." Lillian lied with ease.

"It's okay Lillian, I am just glad that she made the school more lively than before."

"Thank you Mr Jack for your understanding, sorry to ask, did you say she was friends with Jorkallun? The Jorkallun that we all know?"

"Yeah, she did. Sarah the girl I assigned her with told me everything. Rae being friends with the Dragon, came as a huge blow to us, I never thought to see Jorkallun having a new friend."

"Thank you Jack once again, let me start going." Lillian said as she made a portal to open right there in front of them.

"See you some other time Lillian." Jack said and Waited until Lillian had entered the portal, which closes, before he went inside the library.

***

The portal opened and Lillian stepped inside her house. She quickly teleport herself into Rae's room, and saw Rae sleeping.

"Don't pretend to sleep Rae when you're not, I know all your tricks." Lillian said. "Seriously we need to talk."

Rae opened her eyes and smile to her grandmother. "Hey granny, what did I do this time?"

"Stop pretending like you don't know why I am, when I asked you how your day was, you replied to me fine. You never told me you had a fight with Rick, or the Amazon's Warriors. Haven't I warned you never to fight." Lillian said in an almost teary voice, she was worried sick that one of these days, Rae is going to expose the truth. Tongues will start wagging soon, Rae was a witch and witches don't go about looking for trouble and beating up people.

"Oh, I didn't do anything wrong, they told me to come and meet the queen because of the noise I made, I refused and they attacked me, so I had to do something that minute, I am sorry if that hurt you, I promise not to fight again." Rae said sincerely, she hates to see her grandmother cry. "I will stay out of trouble from now onwards."

"Promise me that?" Lillian said in fake tears, it was the only way for her to have Rae agree to keep her promise without failing it.

"Promise granny, now please go, I need my beauty sleep."

"Okay, sleep all you want. I love you." Lillian said and kissed Rae's forehead before she left.

Rae sigh out in bliss as she remembered the brief smile she saw on Jorkallun face today when she beat up the four best Amazon's Warriors, she felt proud when she saw him. She wants to see Jorkallun smile again.....for her. She made a vow within herself to make Jorkallun smile.

Chapter 5

'People think I am strong. I am not strong. There is a difference between a strong person and a stubborn person who just won't put her sword down. I am the latter. Again and again and again... pick the sword up, pick the sword up, pick the sword up. I'm hard-headed not hard-hearted. I may be stubborn, sassy and rude at times, but I have a big heart and care about others more than I should.'

❤❤❤❤A NEW FOUND FRIEND AND MEETING THE AMAZON'S❤❤❤❤

"Wow, your hair's on fire pretty boy, do you want to use the fire to cook?" Rae said not bothered by the angry look she was getting from Jorkallun. His red hair ignited fire the more.

His expression reminded Rae of an angry, dangerous wild animal about to maul someone, probably not her. A sane person would have fled by now from the glare she was receiving, but she isn't a sane person.

"Get up from that row and go and find somewhere else to occupy, do not force me student." Jorkallun said his mouth not moving a bit. His red eyes began to slowly show little flame.

"May be you haven't heard what I did to that stupid Rick few minutes ago because you are not the only one with anger issue, besides, this is not only the sit in the back row, there are two more empty chairs beside me so I don't know what your problem is. I am staying in this sit and there is nothing you can do pretty boy." Rae said with a huff in the air.

Jorkallun sudden anger melted away when he heard what Rae said, his hair that was on fire quickly dissolve. "So you were the new student who twisted that idiot Rick hand?" Jorkallun was in school when the incident took place, he felt less concerned then and walked pass the duo.

"Yup, that's me, he should be lucky I did not break all his bones." Rae said proudly. "I don't like that vice whoever."

"You should have tore off his whole arm, Well, you can have that sit all to yourself, any enemy of Rick is my friend, so let's start all over again. I am Jorkallun." The handsome red haired guy said stretching out his right hand towards her.

Rae stood up and shook his hand. "I am Rae pretty boy, the new transferred student." Ray introduced herself to him.

"First of all, don't call me 'pretty boy'. I just told you my name." Jorkallun said and detach his hand from Rae's, he went to sit in one of the empty sits beside Rae in the back row.

Those who were expecting a fight were disappointed, but they were surprised when they saw Jorkallun and Rae shaking hands. Jorkallun had never shook hands with anybody in the school and seeing this was a surprise, no one has ever mentioned his full name without getting a fetal injuries. Mr Jack will have to write it in their School Book of Achievement.

Jorkallun who has sat down glanced up and noticed the quietness of the school, especially how his classmates kept looking at him and girl beside him. He doesn't like being stared at and he had made that point clear enough for everyone.

Rae saw the stares they were given at them and turn to look at Jorkallun, she saw anger in his face and she knew he was going to explode soon.

Right as he opened his mouth, Rae touches his shoulder briefly stopping him. "Don't worry Jorkallun, I got this."

Jorkallun looked confused and curiously, what was she going to do?

She turns facing everyone in the class, her face changes to anger just like Jorkallun, before shouting at the top of her lungs.

"WHAT ARE YOU FUCKING BADSTARDS LOOKING AT? YOU BETTER TURN YOUR FUCKING HEADS BEFORE I USE MY FIRE MAGIC ON ALL YOUR STUPID BRAINS!"

Everyone froze in shock at what Rae had said, their classmates jaw hit the floor.

Jorkallun who was the first person to recover from his shock, smirked at them.

"DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT SHE SAID!" He yells at them causing them all to snap out of their shocked state and getting back to what they were doing.

The quiet school became noisy once again.

Satisfied with the result, Jorkallun placed his head on his desk, ignoring Rae and everyone completely.

Two minutes later their history teacher, Serena Birdrock, a fairy, flew into the class. Her fairy wings were pink in color and her hair matches with her wings.

"Good morning students." Serena Birdrock said greeting her students.

"Good morning ma." They all responded except Jorkallun who still kept his head on the desk.

"Before we proceed, we have a newly transferred student in our midst." Serena Birdrock announced with a smile before focusing on Rae. "Rae will you please introduce yourself to your classmates."

It was because of the please Serena added that prompted Rae to stand up from her seat.

"I am Rae Fey, and I don't look for trouble." Rae said sweetly.

"Okay, that was the most nicest introduction I have ever heard Rae." Serena told Rae. A magic book and magic pen appeared in front of all the students. "Today, we are going to talk about the history of Witches. Witches are people who used their magic spells and called upon spirits for help or to bring about change. Though there are two types of witches, we have the black witches, they use their magic for evil and the white witches, they use their magic for good. There are many types of witches, but the main two are the white witches and the black witches. And all the witches we have in our world are white witch." Serena explained with a smile to her students.

1 hour later.

"That will be all for today's class, but you are going to tell me the name of the first witch Queen we have tomorrow, by tomorrow, am sure you must have done your research and come up with an answer. Have a wonderful day." With that Serena left the class.

As soon as Serena left the class, everyone started preparing themselves to go to their next class.

Jorkallun stood up from his seat, everybody came to a halt as Jorkallun stood up, they all waited until he left the class before they started leaving with their friends.

Sarah quickly went to meet Rae and without a word Rae followed her.

Sarah took Rae to all her classes until it was time for their lunch.

They entered the school cafeteria and saw it full with students eating all types of food. Sarah took Rae to her table. Rae kept looking around to see if she could see the red-haired boy, but she couldn't.

"This is where I normally sit whenever I want to eat." Sarah said and claps her hands, a plate appeared in front of her with a little bag beside it. She opened the little bag and sprinkled the sawdust from the little bag on the empty plate. A full size fried chicken appeared on the empty plate. "Are you not hungry?" Sarah asked as she started eating her chicken.

"I am not hungry yet, but have been wanting to ask, who is Jorkallun and why do they fear him?"

Sarah almost choked herself to death when Rae asked her, steadying her breath. "Jorkallun is a..." She draws closer to Rae as if she wanted to tell her a huge secret. ".... Dragon."

Rae eyes widened in disbelief. "A Dragon? I thought dragons don't usually come out from their lair talkless about one going to school."

"You could say Jorkallun is different. His father is the King of Dragons and still yet, he is so stubborn. Everyone feared him except for one."

"Because he is a Dragon, no wonder Miss Serena didn't bother to wake him up during her class."

"I just told you he is a dragon but apart from Miss Serena being afraid of Jorkallun, dragons are knowledgeable, they are wise creatures and are very old. He knows all the answers to all questions. My guess is that he loves coming to school because he likes it when we tremble at his presence." Sarah explained. "He wasn't like this you know, he was this sweet charming and handsome looking guy every girl dream to have, but all that changed one day when he fought with his best friend, rumor said they fought because of a girl. We don't really know what had happened but we saw Jorkallun becoming like this, the girls still admired him but in a distant, he doesn't allow anyone comes close to him except you Rae."

Rae wanted to reply but stopped the words from coming out when she noticed four beautiful girls heading towards an empty table with four chairs.

The cafeteria went silent as the four girls entered and started walking over to their table. No one dares sit on it.

Rae couldn't deny the fact that the four girls were extremely beautiful. They all carried themselves high. The most beautiful of them all was the tallest girl in the midst.

Her sun blond hair was long passing her waist. Her eyes were like the sun, her smile was like the morning sun. And she was proud, you would know when you see her.

"Who are they?" Rae found herself whispering to Sarah.

"Oh, they are the Amazon's warriors. The one who thinks like she owns the world is betrothed to the Wolf King Son, Jason." Sarah answered whispering back.

"Jason? Who is Jason?" Rae asked.

"Oh, you haven't met that spoilt brat yet, Jason is the only son of the Wolf King Reon, the King who rules all Supernaturals. Did you know Jason and Jorkallun were best of friends once until they fought and went their separate ways. One day, we hope to see both of them as friends." Sarah said going back to her food. "That girl who thinks she owns the world, is the reason why Jason and Jorkallun separated."

Chapter 4

'I'm unpredictable, I never know where I'm going until I get there, I'm so random, I'm always growing, learning, changing, I'm never the same person twice. But one thing you can be sure of about me; is I will always do exactly what I want to do. I'm not stubborn. My way is just better.'

❤❤❤❤MEETING JORKALLUN❤❤❤❤

Her suddenly screams draw the attention of all the students outside the gate to her. The students around her started whispering amongst themselves. Rae felt satisfied.

Feeling like a princess now that everyone's attention has been drawn to her, ignoring the whispering going on around her, she kept her head high and entered the school compound as if she owns it.

The school was large with various separate buildings in it.

She scanned the environment and noticed some few students were looking at her and others were ignoring her. Raising her Jacket upwards and rolling it round her head, she screamed out loud once again. "Hello People, I said I am new here!"

She smirked when she finally got all their attention.

"We don't make such noise here, didn't your parents or guardian told you that?" A male voice said behind her back and made to grab her on her shoulder.

The unexpected happened.

Before his hand would made contact with Rae's shoulder, without turning, she held his hand and twisted it and with inhuman strength she doesn't even know she has, she flipped the man to her front, who landed on the floor in a heavy thud.

Still twisting the full grown man hand hard, no matter how hard the man tried to remove his twisted hand from the iron fist hand of the girl, he couldn't, the sound of a bone dislocated was heard. "I don't like people touching me unless I permit them too." Rae said her voice coming out in double.

By now, they have attracted the whole students and teachers attention to them, some teachers who tried to separate them, couldn't when Rae made eye contact with them. The sudden fear that shook those teachers coming made them rushed back and someone, a female witch, quickly teleport to tell Principle Jack what happened.

He soon came out and was shocked by what he saw, the vice principal of the Supernaturals was pinned to the ground by a student. He saw how his vice principal was trying to get away from the girl who held him but to no avail. He was helpless against the girl.

"What is going on?" Jack asked as he advanced towards them. He nearly halted in his footsteps when Rae turned to stare at him coldly, nearly, but he is the principal of the school and a werewolf to top it all. "I asked a question, what is going on!?" He asked again when he was standing in front of Rae.

"If you don't mind your business, you will soon join him." Rae answered twisting the man on the ground hand the more.

"Did you know who you are talking to?" Jack asked folding his arms behind him, her character reminds him of two people. But her eyes when she had looked at him earlier on, reminded him of someone he knew from the past, someone who he couldn't remember.

"And who the hell are you!?" Rae shouted ignoring the loud gasped coming out from the students and teachers round them when she asked that question. By their shocked look display on their faces, they know who the man asking her stupid question is, does she care? Hell no.

"I am Jack, the principal of the Supernaturals." Jack introduced himself "And you are?"

It was as if the words he said was magic to the girl in front of him, because she quickly leave the man she had pinned down, stood up and smiled at him.

"I am Rae." She answered.

"Rae what?" Jack asked to be sure it was not the student he was expecting. He silently prayed to the gods that this shouldn't be his new transferred student. But it seems the gods were against him when he heard the next words omitting out from her mouth.

"Rae Fey, the one who was supposed to start this school today." Rae replied smiling widely.

Meanwhile, the man she had thrown to the ground, stood up, cleaning up the dirt from his clothes as he stares at the girl who just disgraced him in front of the whole school, holding his twisted hand and trying not to show his pains.

"If she is the new transferred student we are expecting, then we don't need her, the two we have is enough for us, we don't need a third one." The man grunted out.

"She's Lillian granddaughter Rick, we can't chase her out when her previous school gave her such a good recommendation." Jack said shaking his Sandy brown hair head. He faces Rae, "Apologize to Rick," he added.

"Why will I? He touched my shoulder, so I am not apologizing." Rae responded boldly.

"He is the vice principal of this school Rae, so yes, it is necessary for you to respect him and this should be the last time it repeat itself."

"Fine, sorry, jackass." Rae said rolling her eyes at them.

"Rick I don't know why they love picking on you, she is just like them, at least she apologized unlike those two." Jack said almost smiling. "Go and see the school nurse to set your bones, everyone should go back to what he or she is doing!" Jack shouted the last part to the students, who went back to what they were doing, he faces Rae. "And you young lady, you're coming with me."

Without waiting for a reply, Jack left going back to his office.

Rae snorted at Rick and quickly hurry up to meet Jack.

Entering his office, she sat down and place her legs on his table.

Jack stared at her in surprise, the girl has some guts. "Let's start with the school rules, first remove your legs from my table."

"Why Mr Jack? I love keeping it like this, got a problem with that?" Rae asked with a raised eyebrows at Jack.

"You sounded just like them, but anyways, Mrs Ash didn't mention that you are a fighter, she only made mention of how good you have been to her school."

"Yeah, that's me, full of surprises."

"Okay." Jack said and clapped his hands once, a female teacher who's a witch, appeared right next to Jack.

"What can I do for you Jack?" The witch asked.

"Please give Rae a copy of the school rules."

The witch nodded her head and whisper some words silently, a large scroll appeared right in front of Rae and landed on her lap. "That's your own copy of the school rules, go through it and abide by it." The witch said to Rae who took it and opened the scroll. The witch disappeared.

A frown appeared on Rae's face when she opened the scroll and roll down towards the principal door. "Are you kidding me, this is so fucking long and has plenty rules." Rae said with wide eyes as she stared at the scroll in her hands.

"Yes, there are 1,000, rules in it that you must go through it and obey every single one of them, every student in this Supernaturals school has a copy of that in your hand."

Rae didn't say anything, she quickly use a spell to refold the scroll back. "Is there anything else you want to bored me with?"

Jack smiled at her. "This is not your former school where only witches and wizards attend, we have all kinds of Supernaturals in this school." He added still smiling.

"Anything else I need to know?" Rae asked less concerned.

"Just keep out of trouble." Jack said and stood up. "Wait a minute, I will be back." He told her and left his office, he soon returned with a girl of Rae's height. She was beautiful, her hair was dark brown and her eyes were deep brown in color. She looked like the shy type.

"Who is this?" Rae asked as she saw the girl with Jack who was trying not to stare at her.

"She will be the one taking you to all your class until you are familiar with them." Jack replied.

"Did I asked you that I need a babysitter oh high and mighty principal?"

Smiling. "Yes, since today is your first day in this school, I don't want you to get lost so yes, Sarah will show you to all your classes and luckily for you, you are all in her class. Class will soon start, hop out of my office right now."

Rae didn't say anything, she got up and went out of the office with Sarah following behind. She stopped and turned to face the silent girl following her. "I thought you were the one to show me my class and not me showing you?"

"Sorry."

"Now lead the way."

As she followed Sarah, she noticed how the students kept staring at her as if she has two heads. Stopping in front of a student. "Why are you staring at me, is there something on my face you wanna tell me?" Rae asked the boy she caught staring at her.

"N--n..no, sorry." the guy stutter at his response.

"Good." Rae said and continue with Sarah.

"So Sarah, what kind of Supernatural creature are you?" Rae decided to ask the quiet girl.

"Umm..am a Centaur." Sarah answered.

A Centaur is a creature which is half-woman and half-horse.

"Wow, a Centaur?" Rae asked, Sarah nodded her head.

"Yes." Stopping in front of a class, which was noisy. "This is our first class, history."

"Okay Sarah."

They both entered the class together and the noise stopped once they saw who stepped in with Sarah.

The news of how she nearly beat up Rick, has gone round the school.

Ignoring them all, she quietly made her way to the back of the class which surprisedly seem empty. Surprising because all of them avoid the back sits.

Seating in one of the empty chairs and making herself at home, she waited for the stupid history teacher to make his or her apprearance. Placing her hands at the back of her head, she closes her eyes and start singing an old witch song her grandmother had once taught her.

The class suddenly got quite once again.

Rae heard someone coming towards her but she did as if she didn't hear it and continue humming her song.

"What are you doing here? Can't you see that I am the only one who sits in the back row?" A male voice demanded.

Opening her eyes to see who is it, she saw a very handsome guy whose nose kept flaring out in a funny way in anger as he stares at her. Is that red?

"And who are you?" Rae asked the handsome guy.

"I am Jorkallun and you are sitting in my territory. I will advise you to find another row and occupy." Jorkallun said with anger laced in each word.

"Last I remember, you don't own the school so you have no right in telling me where I should sit pretty boy." Rae said. She suddenly find it strange that everywhere became quite, the once noisy huge school all went silent as if waiting for something to happen.

"You!" Jorkallun snarled furiously. In perfect counterpoint to his anger, his already brilliant red hair went from hot to flaming - literally.

Chapter 3

'Being stubborn can be a good thing. Being stubborn can be a bad thing. It just depends on how you use it. I'm a very stubborn person, but not so stubborn that I can't learn new things and meet new people, but I have a one-track mind.'

❤❤❤STARTING A NEW SCHOOL❤❤❤

"You can't tell me what to do Rae, I am the proprietor of this witch school and you are my ex student." Mrs Ash told Rae. "Now take this letter and leave my office right this minute."

"Oh I see. This is very interesting." Rae said and then proceeded in placing her hand under her chin stroking her invisible long beard she doesn't have. "That reminds me, Your only daughter normally goes to the witch library every evening, by 6pm on the dot. She doesn't miss a single day. She sits at the last row of the library chair which faces a window. Is not that I am a stalker or something like that, please do not get that idea, but she normally follows the shortcut you secretly have behind your house. And today, I guess she told you ready that she will be coming late, she and her friend, Amila, has a project at hand. If you don't want to see your only daughter half to death, change that recommendation letter right now."

"I will report you to the Witches authority if you dare lay your filthy hands on my daughter." Mrs Ash said in anger to Rae who looked less concerned about her outburst.

"Go ahead Mrs Ash, report me and let us see between you and I who they will believe. Even till down, they didn't believe I beat up those students and rather accused you and the students for framing me. Once I cry, a stone hearted person will melt and believe me, so it's your choice madam."

Mrs Ash quickly opened her drawer and brought out a new piece of paper and started writing how wonderful Rae has been in her school:

Principle Jake, this is to inform you that your new transferred student, Rae Fey, is our best student so far in the witch school. Her brilliant brain doesn't have to be caged in this witch school, so that is why I am transferring her to you. She is of her best behavior and a down to earth girl, who help a lot.

I can assure you Jake, you will enjoy her stay in your school.

With lots of love ❤
Ash.

Mrs Ash signed under it and gave the letter to Rae who read it with a satisfied nod, she gave it back to Ash who then put the letter in another envelope and gave it back to Rae.

Collecting it with a smile. "I never knew you love me so much Mrs Ash."

"Who will love someone like you, with your character, no one will ever settle down with you or think about loving you in the future. I only did that because of my daughter." Mrs Ash said as Rae laughed out. "Your brilliant brain is so full of evil, if only your character is nice, it would have suit that brain of yours, but no, the god's made you brilliant and gave you a nasty character."

"It is called wisdom Mrs Ash." Rae said and also take the other recommendations letter and smiled sweetly. "If I later get to know you sent a letter apart from this one with me to Mr Jake, your daughter is a goner. Have a bountiful day, Mrs Ash." With that, Rae left her office.

She met Lillian who was waiting for her, she was concerned about what Rae might be doing to Ash. When the two minutes Rae had told her had elapsed, she wanted to go in, but stopped when she couldn't hear any shouts of help from Ash, so she concluded everything was going fine. If it was before, Ash would have screamed for help.

"Is everything okay?" Lillian asked as soon as she saw Rae emerging out from the office.

"Yes granny, everything went normal." Rae answered and gave her the recommendation letter Mrs Ash has re-written. "Here is the recommendation letter, she asked me to give you."

"Aww, that's so sweet of her." Lillian said as she collect the letter from her. "Come on, let's go home." She added and made a portal open, she waited first for Rae to enter before she did. The portal closes behind her.

***

Two Days Later:

Lillian who just came back from the witches meeting met Rae in her room, dancing. Rae was more of a tomboy than an actual girl. Her appearance appeared boyish.

Seen her jumping up and down on her bed without a care, brought back old memories which had long been buried.

Thanks to the 'Invisible Spell of Hidden' she had placed in her body that hides her true identity. She looks more like Avonmora when she was born, and carries her father Gene, she just hoped and prayed to the gods that Rae shouldn't encounter the priestess, if not, her true identity will be revealed. She also made a bracelet for her to wear always, the bracelet made her perform magic, which made everyone truly believed Rae was her granddaughter.

Her pregnant daughter and husband, who was a hellhound, were attacked by some sea monsters on their way to pay her a surprise visit, her time for birth was drawing near. Before Lillian could come to their rescue, her daughter, husband and unborn child were dead. Magic could not revive the dead. It was at that time, the ball which held Rae also burst open.

She made everyone believed Rae's was her late daughter child, which she saved before her death.

Lillian cleared her throat which drew Rae's attention to her. She jumped off the bed and landed near her.

"How did the meeting go? Did someone talked to you any how?" Rae's asked immediately.

"Nothing happened, I have submitted the recommendation letter to Jake, and you're to resume the new week coming by." Lillian reply her.

"To tell you the truth granny, I'm no longer sure whether to go or not, I will be the new transferred girl." Rae said with a sigh.

"Come on. You're just afraid. That's normal. After all, it's a new school and I know how you must feel." Lillian said trying to assure her granddaughter. "You'll never find out if you love the school or not if you don't try first." Lillian said slowly as she brought Rae's closer to her and hug. "The idea is to experience something first, and decide if it makes sense later. If you found out you don't love the school, tell me and I will see what I can do about it."

“Yeah,” Rae said returning her hug and staring thoughtfully at the ceiling. “I guess you're right.”

"So I have got everything that you would need for your new school." Lillian said as she cup Rae's face tenderly with her hands. "This is a new school, there will be others Supernatural people going to that school. You will see fairies, hellhounds, vampires, wolves, etc, stay away from them and mingle with your fellow witches, and most importantly, stay away from a Wolf called Jaso- are you even listening?" Lillian asked as Rae began humming a tune.

"Yes granny, I know what you want to say already." Rae said as she kissed the side cheek of Lillian. "You don't have to worry about me granny. I am not looking for any ones trouble."

"I hope so."

***

On The Mountain Top:

Tamara, entered her cave and proceeded to where her magic books are kept, she barely made it inside when she stopped in her tracks. Standing in front of her was the man in water form. She bow before him.

"Enough of your bowing Tamara, it's been a thousand years when the search for the last mermaid begun, and still yet you have not come across her or the one who gave birth to her."

"My Lord, it is not as simple as you think, I don't know where to find her, but I can assure you, that I am going to find the last mermaid before this year runs by." Tamara assured.

"That was what you have been saying each year. Tharollin has almost gotten to where my bones is being kept, so I need to drink the last mermaid blood before Tharollin reaches the bones."

"I will try harder my Lord, I just know this year won't pass without me finding where the last mermaid is."

"Better, for I am losing my patience with you."

***

School Day:

The day for Rae to start her new school has arrived. She quickly took her bath and made her food appeared before her from the kitchen and ate it fast.

Putting on her favorite black leather trousers with a white vase. Talking her black jacket and wear it, putting on her matching black boots. She came out of her room and went to meet Lillian.

"I am ready granny." She announced as she saw Lillian in her study table.

"Don't cause any trouble Rae, today is your first day in school, first impression matters a lot." Lillian told her and make a portal opened.

"Of course granny, have faith in your granddaughter." Rae said as Lillian kissed her forehead tenderly.

Lillian shrugged her shoulders. "I am just telling you. Now go, I want you to be among the early birds."

Rae smiled and entered the portal.

"I will be checking on you from time to time. Don't forget to alert me when school has closed." Lillian said before the portal closes.

The portal opened at the front of the Supernatural school gate and closes once she stepped out. She saw others witches doing the same.

First impression matters.

Removing her jacket she wore, she flip it over to her left shoulder and screamed out loud. "I AM STARTING A NEW SCHOOL!"

Chapter 2

'There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises at every attempt to intimidate me.'

She sat down at the mountain top and started meditating searching every nook and cranny of each supernaturals kingdom but to no avail.

The priestess was livid as she tried to see if something was hidden away from her, but no matter how hard she tried, nothing showed up.

She stood up as a door opened right there in front of her, mid air.

Entering it, it closes behind her. She found herself in a room, a big bowl of red water appeared in front of her, as she started to make some incantations. "Water, water, show me what is being hidden, who is the last mermaid that is yet to be born? Show me her face or mother?"

The red water started swirling around the bowl, and a mouth was seen opening. She peep inside the opened mouth only to see darkness. The mouth vanished and the water became still.

"Something doesn't feel right." The priestess said staring at the still red water.

"I know that Tamara." A deep male baritone voice said behind her.

The priestess now known as Tamara, wasn't frightened when she heard the male voice.

"You shouldn't be here, I am taking care of everything." Tamara said and turned to face him.

Standing before her was a man made of water.

"Just because I gave you enough powers to become the priestess of all Supernaturals doesn't mean you should talk to me in such manner." The water man said.

"I am sorry my Lord, forgive my manners. I just thought you should be resting as you had drained all the blood of the mermaids clan. I wasn't expecting you." Tamara said as she lowered her head.

"I already did that but I am still thirsty for that last blood. Our plan worked out from the beginning. I made Avonmora soulmate to the demon king, Tharollin. She had thought that the gods had blessed her with Tharollin, but she didn't know the truth. I have Tharollin where I want him, for I will need a strong body for me to occupy when it's time." The man in a water form said and laughed out. "And again, I shall need Roen's blood to complete the ritual, he is the strongest Wolf."

"Why his blood?" Tamara asked not getting it.

"I mean, someone that will come out from his loins, set him up with a maiden that he will impregnate. And once it's time I shall have that child." He said as he already mapped out his plans.

If only he knew the child will be a Tribrid supernatural, he wouldn't have suggested the plan.

"Of course my Lord. But what should I tell the Kings and Queens when they asked what the gods has said. We still haven't found out where the last mermaid is."

"I will tell you what to do, for now, your focus should be on finding out where the mermaid will be born so that you can bring her to me. I on the other hand, shall keep on blinding the god's. And once Tharollin gets my bones from the Gate of Darkness, I shall reveal myself to them."

Tamara nodded her head as she handed the diamond stone which held the soul of Avonmora to the water man who vanished immediately.

***

The Meeting Room:

"Queen Lillian, since we haven't heard a word from our priestess since yesterday after the slaughter of the Mermaid Clan, what are we going to do since the gate is still open?" Queen Flora asked as she fling one of her fingers upwards and a rose flower appeared in it, which she started playing with.

"I can't really answer you Queen Flora until the priestess comes." Lillian answer with a smile.

Before anyone will speak, Tamara appeared before them. She didn't come alone, she came with a beautiful lady who looks a little bit like her.

Standing up to their feet, they greeted the priestess and sat down.

"Without wasting much time, the god's has not yet revealed who will give birth to the last evil mermaid that will close the gate of Darkness. But, they have given us a solution." Tamara said with a smile.

"What solution priestess?" King Davea asked.

Tamara turned and pointed at the lady standing beside her. "She is the Solution."

"She is beautiful." King Darin complement as he stared lustfully at the lady. "Did you bring this damsel for me?" He added.

"Not for you Darin, the gods want Roen to marry Rosa, who is my cousin. The child you both shall bear will be the one to know where the last mermaid is and sacrifice her to the gods. She is the ultimate sacrifice, only when the mermaid is sacrifice, can the gate close forever."

King Roen, a very handsome werewolf, was surprised when he heard the news. He raised up his head to refuse the offer when the words frozen mid way. Standing before him was a very beautiful maiden, his soulmate, he has imprinted on her.

When a shape-shifter, a Wolf, imprints on a specific girl or woman, he becomes unconditionally bound to her for the rest of his life. When it happens, the experience is described as being gravitationally pulled toward that person while a glowing heat fills him, and everyone and everything else in his life becomes secondary, and only the imprintee is left to matter, leaving the shape-shifter with a deep need to do anything to please and protect his soulmate. It's not like love at first sight, really. It's more like… gravity moves… suddenly. It's not the earth holding you here anymore, she does… You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that's a protector, or a lover, or a friend.

He had hoped his imprint would be Avonmora, but the gods couldn't grant him his heart desires, and now, she is dead.

King Roen stood up to his feet quickly and went over to meet Rosa, he hugged her smiling. "I have found my imprint at last, she is my soulmate!" He shouted to their hearings.

The rest of the Kings and Queens all helped a smile except Darin who was sulking. The Wolf King has finally found his soulmate after three thousand years of searching.

"Congrats." Filled the room.

"But how did you know your cousin would be his soulmate?" Lillian demanded suspiciously.

"That's because the gods revealed that my cousin should be brought here for King Roen to see. And thanks be to the gods for their knowledge." Tamara said. "The gods also demanded that Wolf King be made as the King of all Supernaturals, since his lovely wife to be will give birth to the one who will save us all. A school shall be built where all the children from each clan, will be attending." With that she disappeared leaving her cousin behind.

Lillian felt something was amiss but let it slide. Tamara didn't made mention of how to prevent the blackness from the gate from spreading out, anyway, that's the work of a witch.

***

1,000 years later:

"I am sorry Queen Lillian, but I cannot take back your grandchild, she will be transferred." The proprietor of the witch school told the queen sitting in her office.

"Ash, just give her a second chance she will change, I promise." Queen Lillian pleaded on behalf of Rae.

Rae who looked less concerned about the discussion they were having right in front of her, was blowing whistle as she placed her legs on top of the proprietor table.

Ash was already used to Rae's behavior.

"Even though you rule us, with all due respect my queen, I still maintain my stand. Rae beat up her seniors badly, they are still in the hospital recovering, she is so stubborn and do whatever pleases her, she is getting out of our control. So I have no other choice my queen. I am transferring her to the supernaturals school and that's final." Ash said and brought out a letter. "This is a recommendation letter that you will give to the Principal of the supernatural. It talks about the behavior of Rae so that he can warn his students to stay away from her."

"I will talk to her, but try and reconsider your decision." Lillian said

"I, in fact all the teachers, have had enough of her, there is nothing I can do."

"Grandma, can you excuse us for a minute, I want to speak to Mrs Ash alone, please." Rae said as she stopped her whistle.

Getting up to her feet, "I will be outside, do not do something stupid." With that Lillian left the office.

"What is it Rae? If you want to beg me to allow you back into this school, am afraid my answer is still No."

"I am not begging you Mrs proprietor. The letter in your hand, change it and write how wonderful and helpful I am to your school."

"You don't tell a five hundred years old teacher what to do."

"You seem to have forgotten who you are talking to, I am Rae, wherever I go I causes trouble. And also I know what side of the bed you sleep at night, don't allow me to visit you tonight. Change that recommendation letter at once."

Chapter 1

‘Sometimes the person you’d take a bullet for is behind the trigger.’

A thousand years ago (1,000) at the Gate of Darkness:

“You betrayed me Tharollin, how could you do that to me?” Avonmora, the queen of mermaids, asked in a teary voice at the man she had once referred to as her lover. She was just in time from stopping him open the Gate of Darkness.

“For powers my love, to open the Gate of Darkness I have to sleep with you and collect your blood, which you gave me the two willingly.” Tharollin, the demon king answered her with a smirk.

“I thought you were the one, the god's made you my soulmate Tharollin, you are my soulmate and whatever I did for you was out of love. I gave you myself and my blood thinking you want to use my blood and heal the wounds you had last when you fought with Roen, but I was wrong, you only collected it to use it and open the Gates of Darkness.”

“You've forgotten something sweetheart, I am a demon, in fact the king of demons, we don't have feelings. Opening the Gate of Darkness will make me the strongest of them all and I shall rule over the supernaturals.” Tharollin said. “And even if I want to have a lover, it wouldn't be a fish girl, now if you excuse me I have a gate to open.”

“I was warned to stay away from you, but did I listen? No. Tharollin, you still have a chance to change, do not open the Gate of Darkness, please I beg you.” Avonmora pleaded, hoping to god's that they change his heart.

Tharollin laughed at her foolishness. “You're a big fool Avonmora, you were blinded by love that is why you couldn't see my main motive.”

%%%%

Flashback:

Tharollin, a very handsome and tempting demon king, lost his rights as king when he went for war against King Roen and the rest supernaturals except the mermaids, they were healers. King Roen who has the backing of the god's, was the one who had defeated him and they killed all his demon warriors and imprison the ones alive.

He ran away from the battlefield with serious injuries. He ran into Avonmora who was heading towards the battlefield with some of her healers.

Seeing him for the first time, was like seeing the sun. Her crystal necklace shone a little bit and she knew the man bleeding profusely was her soulmate. Avonmora quickly ordered the rest to go without her as she teleport Tharollin to her cave to treat him.

Their love story began…..

“Did you know what you ask for Avonmora?” King Roen asked the beautiful mermaid standing before him.

“Yes, I know what I am asking Roen. Help me and plead with the rest of the Kings and Queens that they shouldn't harm Tharollin, you know they listen to you.”

“This is difficult and you know it. Helping the evil king of demons who went rebellious against all Supernaturals, is different, saying we should give him a second chance is another thing.”

“He is my soulmate Roen, you know what that means. Please stand with me, he has changed. We should give him a second chance.” Avonmora pleaded.

“I am only supporting you because of what we had in the past, do not come back to me when he betrays you. I won't listen then.”

“Thank you so much Roen, he won't betray me.” Avonmora said with happiness.

“I will set a meeting with the rest of the Kings and Queens soon, bring him with you when you are coming to the meeting Avonmora.”

___

The Meeting:

“This is outrageous! How can we trust a demon who want to rule over the supernaturals.” Queen of the fairies, Flora, spat out with venom as she stared at Tharollin with disdain.

“He isn't the same person you once knew, please he's Changed and I can swear on my life. He is my soulmate, my better half. Queen Flora, you got married to the king of globins didn't you even when we kicked against it. My fellow Kings and Queens, I am also a queen and I know how you want our people to feel safe, but believe me, Tharollin isn't evil.” Avonmora said.

“Roen what is your intake in this?” King Davea, asked the Wolf King. A Davea is a creature of shadow, a special type of demon, which is periodically used by others demons, similarly to hellhounds.

The room where the meeting was held became quite as they all want to hear Roen’s opinion.

“Let's give him a second chance as she had said.” King Roen told them finally.

“Are you supporting her because she was once your Bleep mate?” Darin, the King of Vampires asked as he started picking invisible dirt from his nails.

The growl that came out from Roen shook the whole room they were in. Standing up to his feet in anger.

“I dare you to repeat what you said AGAIN.” Roen pronounced each word with a growl as he stares hatefully at the Vampire King.

“But I was saying the truth.” Darin said with a smile.

“That's enough from the both of you, we have heard from Avonmora, and since the Wolf King had given out his consent, so we shall. Tharollin has been forgiven, but Avonmora take note, if he tries to bring harm to any of the kingdoms, you know the consequences, don't you?” The Queen of Witches, Lillian, said.

“Yes I know the consequences, thank you all.” Avonmora said with a smile.

End of flashback.

“You played me all along, but I won't let you open the Gate of Darkness.”

“Too late for that my love, you came too late, I have already done the sacrifices, mixing the blood of a powerful mermaid and my blood together, and you are just a mermaid without any fighting skills, should I remind you that as a demon your powers doesn't affect me. So very soon, all Supernaturals will be mine to rule. Join me Avonmora, let's rule all of them together.”

“Over my dead body will I do that.”

“Your choice, my gain, goodbye Avonmora.” Tharollin said, turning his back to her and going towards the Gate of Darkness.

“You will die in there, do not open the Gate Tharollin, please. the evil behind that gate will affect everyone, for the sake of our child I am carrying, please don't open that gate.”

That stopped Tharollin who then turn to face Avonmora with the coldest look she had ever seen. “Using those lines doesn't work for me, a demon king like myself can't have children.” With that he walked over to where the Gate of Darkness was, stood in front of it and utter the words that had been Forbidden.

The Gate of Darkness, was said to be the inhabit of Lucifer, an evil being who was killed and his bones were locked up by the god's, whoever that opens the gate of Darkness and possesses the bones of Lucifer shall have the powers of the once powerful being.

Lucifer bones weren't the only ones in it.

Tharollin smiled as he finished casting out the spell.

The Gate of Darkness began to open slowly. Inside the Gate were pure darkness.

“Do not move any further Tharollin!” King Darin shouted at demon who stopped once he heard his voice.

Tharollin turn and saw all the Kings and Queens of the supernaturals before him.

“You alerted them Avonmora.” Tharollin said without any surprise as the gate behind him continue opening, just one step and he is inside the Gate.

“I have too, I am sorry.” Avonmora replied.

“Well, great Kings and Queens, I don't have much time to discuss with you all, but I will get to see you all in the next 1,000 years to come. Be sure you are still alive when I return, for I shall have my revenge on all of you standing before me.”

“That is if you enter the gate.” Roen said but it was already too late.

“Too late, you all are always late. I shall return with my armies to defeat you all and rule over every supernatural.” Tharollin said as he finally moved back, one of his feet entering the gate. ”Goodbye to see you all in 1,000 years later.” with that saying, his second feet enter the gate. As soon as his two feet was inside the gate, a dark hole opened beneath his feet and he fell down. The dark hole closes.

Lillian used her magic to prevent the gate from opening further.

___

Meeting Room:

“This is all your fault!” Queen Flora shouted. “Now the Gate of Darkness is opened, it won't take much time before it starts to turn everyone into evil.”

“I am sorry, I didn't know he would do something like that.” Avonmora said softly.

Darin wanted to say something hurtful towards Avonmora when a bright light shone before them before it vanish.

A beautiful lady stood where the bright light was, all dressed in white as the Kings and Queens all stood up and bowed to her and sat down again. Her eyeballs were white and her forehead bore a circle.

“The priestess is always there whenever we need her.” King Davea said with a smile.

“I did not bring good news, the gods are angry. The Gate of Darkness is opened and it will cause a great war if it is not closed in time.” The priestess said.

“What then should we do?” Lillian asked.

“The only way to close the gate of Darkness is to sacrifice the one who had caused it.”

All eyes turned to look at Avonmora, some with hate, others in pity.

“Then Avonmora shall be sacrificed to avoid whatever evil that want to befall on us.” King Darin said.

“Not only her, you know what it took the god's to lock down the Gate of Darkness after they defeat Lucifer. Her people, every single mermaid and merman, shall be sacrificed to close down the Gate in two days time.” The priestess said and vanished.

“You all heard her, in two days time, Avonmora and her people shall be killed.” Queen Flora said with a smile.

“But killing them all, won't that be the end of mermaids?” Roen asked.

“The god's have spoken Roen, and there is no going back.” Darin said and stood up to meet Avonmora. “Enjoy your last days with your people.” He left the meeting room.

Soon everyone began to leave the room except Roen and Lillian.

Standing up to his feet. “I warned you, but I can understand since he was your soulmate. But this time around, I can't help you, the god's are now involved.” with a sad smile, Roen left the meeting room leaving Lillian alone with her

“Lillian, I am pregnant with the demon child, what should I do?”

“Shhhh, the walls have ears, teleport us now to my Chambers.”

Avonmora nodded her head and teleport them to Lillian lairs. Casting a magic spell around the wall to prevent anyone from eavesdropping on their conversation.

“Repeat what you just told me a few minutes ago?”

“I am pregnant for Tharollin, I told him but he thought I was joking, help me, I don't want my child to die with me. Please my sister, save my child.”

***

Two Days Later:

All the supernaturals gathered to witness the execution of the mermaids race in front of the Gate of Darkness.

The priestess stood before the Gate as she gesture with her head to the Vampire warriors to begin. They started killing the mermaids.

Soon all mermaids and merman lay dead remaining Avonmora.

The priestess walk over to meet her. “Your punishment will be so different, the god's want your soul, but your body shall be placed at the front Gate of Darkness to warn anyone who has your fish brain.” She told Avonmora and touched the mermaid forehead.

Her soul in a smoky form began to come out from her mouth, the priestess brought out a diamond stone and her soul went into it.

Avonmora body slumped as her eyes were wide open, her lifeless eyes, looking straight to Lillian. It was as if it was reminding her of her promise she made to her two days ago.

The priestess smiled and levitate Avonmora body and made it stand at the Gate. Avonmora body immediately turned into ice.

The priestess said some words and the gate started closing. It stopped before it will shut finally.

“What happened? The Gate isn't shut completely.” Flora said.

The priestess who was equally surprised closes her eyes briefly and opened it. “There is still one more mermaid missing.”

“Impossible, all the mermaids clan has been killed, so which one are you talking about?” Darin asked.

“A mermaid yet to be born. Her blood shall be used in shutting down the Gate of Darkness completely.”

“How is that possible?” Roen demanded.

“I don't know, but it wasn't reveal to me, I shall consult the god's and get back to you all.” The priestess reply and vanished before anyone question her further.

***

Lillian entered her Chambers and made sure she locked the door, saying a spell, a door appeared and she entered it.

The door opened to another hidden room, at the middle of the room was a ball, which looks more like nylon floating with a very tiny fetus in it.

She had promised Avonmora she would take care of her child.

“Promise me Lillian nothing will happen to my child, you're a very strong witch, I know you can do something to prevent my child from dying with me.”

“I will help you because you once helped me before.”

“Thank you, but you must promise me Lillian not to tell her who her parents were, I have a strong feeling that it's a girl. If it is a girl, please do name her Rae, because she is my Rae of light, but if it is a boy, you name him. And one more thing, please hide her powers, especially if she carries the demon blood”

“Of course Avonmora. Come one, we don't have much time.” Lillian said and say a spell. The same door appeared and they entered inside.

Lillian smile as she went over to where the ball was floating.

Since the child has a demon blood in him or her, it will take almost 1,000 years before the ball burst.

***

The priestess appeared on top of the mountain where she lived.

She didn't see that coming, killing off the mermaids and using their blood at the gate was for a purpose. She couldn't tell the people that the yet to be born mermaid she saw will be born in a thousand years to come, but who will give birth to the mermaid?

Chapter 35

‘When you adopt the viewpoint that there is nothing that exists that is not part of you, that there is no one who exists who is not part of you, that any judgment you make is self-judgment,l that any criticism you level is self-criticism, you will wisely extend to yourself an unconditional love that will be the light of the world.’

“And that was your biggest mistake Daisy, you trust too much.” Dementia said with a smirk and clapped her hands twice, she became visible to them all. Everyone except Nora, Daisy and Craig were all shocked and were speechless when they saw the tiny shinny fairy on Craig's shoulders. “You are not the only one who read that evil book dear sister.” Dementia added ignoring the looks around her.

“Fool, you think I don't know? I know everything, I was just hoping that you had changed for the better when you lead me here” Daisy said and clapped her hands once, to everyone except Philly and Nora, their eyes widened when they saw another little fairy standing on Nora's shoulders.

“Oh, is this the other fairy you told me about.” Craig muse as he touched his jaw in thought staring at a glaring Daisy.

“Yes Craig, the very one.” Dementia responded.

“She's pretty and look powerful.” Craig spoke after a while and faces the two brothers. “Since you couldn't kill yourselves, I will do that.” He added and quickly pointed a finger towards Daisy and said a magic word. Daisy suddenly grab her head in pain and she fell off from Nora's shoulders.

Before she could hit the ground, Philly hand caught her quickly. Ignoring Nora and Philip stare, he sat on the ground, use his other free hand and started stroking Daisy forehead gently, trying in his own way to lessen the pain she was going through.

“What did you do to her!?” Nora shouted as she rushed to Philly side and bend down to look at Daisy.

“I thought you said you will not use the controller spell on anyone, yet.” Dementia said to the hearings of the rest. “You used it on the wrong person.”

“Shhh, you can't tell me what to do dementia, I need that fairy.” Craig reply her and said out in a commanding voice. “Come to me my fairy, I now own you.”

Nothing happened. The pain she felt stopped immediately as it had come, Daisy stood up to her feet and glare dangerously at her twin as she flew and landed on the shoulder of Philly.

“She won't come to you idiot.” Philly told Craig getting up to his feet.

“Oh I had forgotten about you three.” Craig said pointing at Philly, Paul and Nora. “Kill them!”

The Ninja's pointing their swords at them attacked them. Philly whistle and the Nine Fingers including Leo came out of their hiding place and bounced on the Ninja's.

“Brothers, its time!” Paul shouted and the nine Immortals Samurai's became visible and attacked the Ninja's.

____

DAISY AND DEMENTIA FIGHT:

“You showed a mortal the ancient book? How dare you?” Daisy spoke as little smoke was seen coming out from her nose, she left Philly shoulder and stayed midair. Dementia eyes were filled with fear as she stared at her twin. “That's it, you are dead. The universe will bear me witness, that I gave you plenty of chances to change from your old ways, which you refuse to give up and to top it all, you gave a mortal to read the forbidden book of the whole fairy kingdom.”

“You have to help me out Craig, I know what that look she's giving me.” Dementia said in sudden fear

“I am but a mere mortal, how do you want me to help you fight against something that has powers like you. Fight her, defeat her but bring her alive to me.” Craig said to Dementia. The words he spoke, gave Dementia the courage she needs, it was as if the chains holding her were released immediately Craig said those words.

The sudden fear in Dementia eyes were replaced by anger as she left Craig shoulders to meet Daisy.

As she flew to meet Daisy, a ball of white fire appeared in her hand, Daisy who has a deadly look in her eyes, didn't move or show any form of attacking, she waited until Dementia was close to her and was ready to throw the ball of white fire to her. A white bow with an arrow on fire in it, suddenly appeared in front of Daisy and the bow release the arrow by itself. Dementia didn't see that coming and was late, she stopped, the fire ball in her hand vanished, white blood started coming out from her mouth. The arrow had struck in her heart, she was dying.

Daisy closed the distance between them and made a portal opened behind Dementia’s back, which were filled with the souls of the dead Fairy Kingdom. She pushed Dementia inside it.

Dementia started laughing as the portal started closing, “The book which you had destroyed back in Casala, isn't the real one Daisy, watch your back because you might know what hit you.” Dementia said and closed her eyes in death as the portal closed finally.

What she said made Daisy eyes widened in surprise.

If truly she had destroyed the fake book, where then is the real one? And who has it? She thought to herself, ignoring the fight going on round her.

___

killing off the Ninja's that came with Craig wasn't as easy as they had thought. But Paul got the upper hand, his Samurai's were Immortals that can never die. When Philly saw that Samurai's can't die and how fast they were, he instructed his Nine Fingers to Protect Nora and leave the fight for the Samurai's.

Before long, all Craig's Ninja's lay dead, remaining Craig who brought out his sword and ran towards them.

“What a bunch of losers.” Craig said as he kicked some of the dead Ninja's out of the way.

The nine Samurai's attacked Craig at the same time.

But they didn't stand a chance against Craig, as he used his magic powers to pin them all on the ground.

The Nine Fingers tried to attack him from behind, but he also pinned them like he did to the Samurai's, thinking they were Immortals like the Samurai's, he didn't attack them.

His gaze was on Paul and Philly and suddenly drifted to Daisy as she landed on Nora's shoulders.

“Why are you doing this? Haven't you done enough already?” Philly demanded drawing out his sword.

“Revenge, until you both are dead, I won't stop.” Craig replied and lunged himself at Philly, he was very fast, he aims his sword at Philly.

Philly who has been expecting an attacked from Craig quickly diverted to the other side as Craig sword barely missed his body.

Craig strike again and this time Paul intervene. His sword intercepted Craig's and he use his leg to kick Craig hard on the stomach. Craig fell to the ground, clutching his stomach.

Both brothers circled him.

“Fool Philly, instead of you to kill him and have Nora all to yourself, you choose not too.” Craig said as he stood up to his feet, spitting out blood.

“I don't love Nora, I already explain to Philip why I did that.” Philly said as his mind was on Daisy.

“Then you will die first.” Craig said and lunged at Philly again.

Paul was faster and this time, his hand stopped the blade from reaching Philly. He forcefully knocked off Craig's sword.

Paul sword, shinny, levitated itself from his hand and started circling Craig, going faster by the seconds, dancing round him as it Slash his body.

Craig tried to use magic on the sword which only backfired to him. The dancing sword circling him, and finally brought out a bright light which surrounded and shone on him, and when it was gone, so was Craig.

Craig face was seen on the blade as the sword entrapped Craig in it.

The spells he had used on the Ninjas and the Samurais disperse as they could feel their feet once more.

The sword went back to Paul hand. “Wow, that was easier than I thought.” Paul said and put the sword in its sheath.

“I didn't even fought with him, if I knew your sword could do that, none of us would have even lift up a single sword to fight his Ninjas.” Philly joking said.

“Yeah, there are still some things I need to learn from the sword.”

Nora rushed to where they are and hug Paul.

Daisy flew and landed on Philly's shoulders as they stare at the two love birds.

“Let's be truthful, they both make a great couple.” Daisy spoke after a while.

“Yes, they are a match made by the universe.”

The night fight ended in their favour.

They returned home, Philly was persuaded to follow them.

***

When they got to Kate's house, they saw some dead bodies of Ninja's littering around the compound.

They had climbed the fence, making sure they didn't touch the almost invisible security wire.

“What happened here?” Paul asked the Samurai whom he asked to watch over the house.

“They tried to get in and I killed them.” He replied.

“What about the gate man, was he harmed?”

“They did not harm him or anyone in the house.”

Paul shrugged his shoulders as he and Nora breathed a sigh of relief. Kate wasn't harmed neither was the servants and the gateman.

“Take the bodies into the forest and burn them.” Paul said to the Samurai's. And they started carrying off the dead body. Philly told his Ninja's to also help.

Nora, Paul and Philly entered the house and saw Kate, awake and terrified.

“I heard some sword fight and couldn't help but be scared.” Kate told Paul when she saw him, she quickly rushed to Nora's side and hug the living daylights of her. “I am so happy and glad that you are saved from…” she couldn't finish her talk when she saw Philly entered lastly. “What is he doing here? Isn't he suppose to be dead? Where is Craig? He took Craig with him.” Kate said in anger.

“Grandma, calm down, Philly is not what you think he is, he is the good guy.” Nora told Kate.

“I don't get you?”

“Sit down ma'am so that I can explain what happened.” Paul said and Kate sat down together with Nora.

Paul explained everything that happened.

Kate couldn't believe her ears when they told her what happened.

“Why would Craig do such a thing? Killing your parents should have been enough for him, may his soul rest in peace.”

She welcomed Philly into her family and Philly pleaded with her to forgive him for what he did.

****

Before the sun had set fully, Paul and Philly had gone to Valten to meet Robert Mirror.

Paul explained everything to them and all were surprised when they heard about Craig's betrayed.

“Who could have thought, Craig would do such a thing?” Mark said in surprise.

“Till now, I still can't believe it.” Paul said.

“It is well, I am happy that everyone is saved and everything is fine now.” Robert Mirror said and faces Philly. “So he was the one who had made me run away from my house?”

“Yes Dad, the very one. And he is also my twin brother, Philly.” Paul said with a smile.

“Wow, this is good, I now have two sons.” Robert smiled as he said that and pull Philly for a hug.

___

Mark and David soon left for Casala after thanking Paul.

Robert Mirror Mansion:

Paul, Robert, Philly and Eric drove home and were surprised when they saw the dead bodies of the servants.

Robert who had told his bodyguard to stay low when he went to Paul's Penthouse, called them and asked them to come and clean up the mess.

“Hey Eric, I am sorry for sending Ivan to kill you.” Philly told Eric once they were alone.

“It's okay, if you haven't sent Ivan to kill me, I wouldn't have met Paul, it is fate.” Eric said.

“So we are still good?”

“Of course.”

Few Days Later:

Floda:

“You know I made Lora blind.” Daisy said.

“What? Are you serious?” Nora demanded surprised.

“Yes, she made you go through darkness so I want her to feel the same way you had felt, she should be glad I only made her blind.”

“You shouldn't have done that Daisy, if Philly and Philip can reconcile and be brothers again, then I can also forgive my twin sister and my parents. My love and his twin brother has shown me, forgiveness is the key to Love. If you have the two, you will have eternal peace.”

“Wow, this is the first time I am hearing you speak like that.” Daisy said with a smile.

“You wouldn't blame me, after that night, I learnt a lot.”

“I can see that.”

“So do you notice the kind of look Philly gives to you? It looks as if he is in love with you or something like that.”

“You're right, I read his mind, he is in love with me.”

“Don't you like him? I know you do.” Nora teased.

“It's not that Nora, the problem is….”

Interrupting her. “Oh, I see the problem now, even if you do like him, it won't work out because of your difference, right? He is human and you are a little fairy.”

Chapter 34

‘Regardless of what language it is said, 'I love you' stays beautiful, and two hearts beating together make the same sound. It is the language of Love, you know I'd fall apart without you. I don't know how you do what you do, because everything that doesn't make sense about me, makes sense when I'm with you It was love at first sight, at last sight, at ever and ever sight.’

“Please, I beg you don't do this.” Nora cried out in tears as soon as Philly mouth left hers.

Something tiggers Philly heart when he saw how Nora was crying out her eyes. He quickly came down from her body and covers her body with the bedsheets. He turned his back on her.

Sobbing quietly, Nora quickly grabbed the bedsheets and covered every part of her body, she was surprised and grateful that Philly didn't touched her.

“I can't do this, I can't force myself on you.” Philly said lowly to himself but was still heard by Nora. “I can't rape you, I can't stand your tears. But the love I have for you is real, I will not allow anyone to come between us.” Philly said in an audible voice and faces Nora once again. “Why can't you return my love back? I can do times 2 of whatever Philip did that made you fall in love with him.”

“T-th thank you for stopping.” Nora said quietly.

“I don't need your thank you, what I need is your love. I will take my time and make you fall in love with me like you did to my twin brother, then I won't force myself on you.” Philly said and stood up from the bed, he arranged his disarray shirt and left the room without a word.

At that moment, Daisy and Dementia made their appearance as the golden ball of light stopped in the room Nora's was and vanished.

Dementia was the first person to come with the ball of light.

“At last we have found her!” Dementia exclaimed in happiness until she saw the tears in Nora's eyes her smile faded completely, Seeing the state Nora was in as Daisy appeared beside Nora. “Don’t tell me we came late.”

Nora's eyes widen up a bit when she saw Daisy. Daisy on her own part was surprised when she saw a clothless Nora on the bed sobbing quietly.

“Did he touch you?” Daisy asked as she moved towards Nora's forehead and placed her tiny palm on her forehead. She breathed a sigh of relief when she was shown what happened. “Thank the universe that he changed his mind, we could have been late coming to save you. This shows that maybe there are still some good left in him.”

“I was scared Daisy, I pleaded and begged him not to do it, I had thought he would, but surprisingly enough, he didn't carry out the act.” Nora said softly.

“I am glad he didn't touch you.” Daisy said, “Sorry I wasn't there when they came.”

“Yeah, I know your wouldn't be around, you told me about that, hope your sister is saved?” Nora asked forgetting about what just happened few minutes ago and was concerned about Dementia. Seeing Daisy now gave her hope that no harm shall come to her.

“Yes, she is with me.” Daisy replied with a smile and clapped her hands together, Nora who wasn't seeing Dementia saw her, another tiny fairy beside Daisy.

“Can she see me Daisy?” Dementia asked.

“Yes, she can now see you.” Daisy answered and focus her gaze once more on Nora. “Dementia was the one who brought us here.” Daisy added and clapped her hands again. One of Nora's clothes she normally wear, jeans and Tank-top, appeared right in front of Nora.

“Wear this.” Daisy said and clapped her hands once again, the clothes Nora had worn before it got torn by Philly's aggressiveness disappeared.

“But what if he comes and see that I am in another clothes, how do I explain this?” Nora asked.

“Let him know the truth then, we are here for you. Nothing will happen to you.” Daisy reply.

Nora nodded her head and quickly wear the clothes.

“Now what next?” Nora asked immediately getting out of bed and standing near the window.

“Now we wait, the real truth is about to reveal itself. It's going to be very surprising.” Daisy responded and flew to sit down on Nora's shoulder.

Two dark shadows entered the room where Craig was kept without any of the Ninja's knowledge.

They came out of the wall, dressed in all blacks but not covering their faces. They have jet black hair that matches with their dark eyeballs.

They were super fast in moving along the walls towards the room he was.

Once they were in, they went over to where Craig was laying and bend over him.

One of them placed his hands over Craig's and started whispering, exactly the way Paul did over Eric when he healed him.

The wounds on Craig's vanished leaving no traces.

Craig stood up faster than an eye that blinks and held the neck of the one who had healed him.

“What delayed you guys? I could have bled to death you know.” Craig shouted but not loudly almost choking him.

“We are sorry master, we thought you would give us signal to come.” The one he held his neck managed to grasp out.

“Fools.” Craig said after a while and released the one he was holding and turned his head to face the second guy. “Did anyone saw you entered?”

“No master, no one did.” He replied Craig.

“Are you sure?”

“Very sure master.”

“Tell the others to wait until I give out my signal for them to attack.”

“Yes master.” They both said in unison and left the same way they had come.

A cruel smile appeared on Craig's face.

***

Paul and Nine Immortals Samurai's jumped through the fence of Philly's mansion.

On their way there, something made Paul to stop at Kate's house and asked one of his Samurai brothers to watch over the house and kill whosoever that entered the compound before he continued his journey.

They weren't surprised when they saw some Ninja's guiding the entrance to the house, one ran in to inform Philly about the Intruders.

Before long the Ninja's guiding the entrance door were subdued by the Nine Immortals Samurai's.

They stood no chance against the Nine Immortals Samurai's.

“Let's wait here, they will come out to meet us.” Paul told his Samurai's. Nodding their heads, they stood behind Paul, waiting for their enemy to come out.
___

“Master, some Samurai's are here.” The one who had hurried in to inform Philly told him.

Philly who was sitting in an old room, filled with various types of Ninja's weapons, cleaning his sharp sword stopped immediately when he heard the news, he put it back at the sheath.

“Samurai's? That means, he is not dead.” Philly said whispering the last part. “Call the Nine Fingers.” He said standing up to his feet.

The Ninja with him nodded his head and left to call out the Nine Fingers.

___

Philly came out together with his Nine Fingers Ninja's and they saw Paul standing together with his Samurai's.

“Hello Paul or should I say brother?”

Paul was surprised that Philly knew his true identity but covered it up quickly, “Where is Nora?” He demanded.

“Nora is doing fine, she sent her greetings to you.” Philly answered him.

“Since you know we are brothers, I don't want to fight with you, I only want peace to reign between us. Please release the woman I love.” Paul said in a pleading tone, he doesn't want to fight his brother if it is possible.

“Why must you be the one to have everything and not me. When we were young, you have everything, mum and dad showered you with so much love more than me, all because you are more intelligent and smarter than me. They left the dull kid behind and went ahead to see the new park with you, I thought you would protest and make them take me along, but no you did the opposite. Do you know how I felt that day? I was mocked in school because of my dull brain and instead of you to stand by me, your own twin brother, you laughed alongside with them. I cried myself to sleep every night because I realized I wasn't loved that much.” Philly said as Paul began to shed tears.

“I am so sorry Philly, I didn't know you felt that way.”

“Remember the fire accident that happened which you and Dad thought I had died, I caused it to kill the both of us, but when it started, mum and dad only took you, their precious child away, I wondered what happened to mum or dad hands if one of them had picked me up from that fire also, but no, she and dad picked you and left me to die in there. I also caused the accident that took mother away from you, I want you to feel a little bit of the pains I went through.”

“I didn't know you were hurt that much Philly, I am really sorry. If that it is the reason why you are doing all these, I beg you please forgive me and give me back Nora, let everything be bygones and let Love rule.” Paul said as he cleaned his eyes from the coming tears still pouring out.

“I wish it was that easy Philip, to be honest with you, I don't have any feelings for Nora, I thought maybe she might love me but I was wrong, tonight proved it. Probably, if mother and father had shown me a little bit of love like they did to you, maybe, I might be a good son to them and a good brother to you, I wouldn't be a killer. I just want to be loved but I guess I am not destined too. I have let out all the tears needed a long time ago, and there is nothing left in my eyes again except killing you.” Philly said and started advancing towards Paul with his Ninja's he stopped. “Leave and stay hidden, I will give you signal if I need your help.” he told his Ninja's and they all blend into the night.

The nine immortals Samurai's were about to attack but Paul shook his head to stop them. “Leave us alone brothers.” He told them and they went invisible once again. “I know you might be hurt from the past, I know I have wronged you, I know the past can't be changed, but please don't allow hatred to eat you deep, I am so sorry, I am truly sorry Philly. I am sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me, I am sorry I neglected you.” Paul said and knelt down before Philly. “I didn't know you were hurt, if killing me would soften your heart once again, then let me kill myself and you leave everyone I love alone.” Paul added and removed his sword from its sheath and aim it at his chest.

Philly was shocked by what Paul had displayed right now and was deeply touched by it.

“I am really sorry brother, and I will always love you brother.” Paul whispered, closing his eyes and thrust the sword into his heart.

Before the sword would touch his skin, Philly was beside him, holding the sword which prevented it from hitting its target.

Philly knelt down just like Paul had done. “Did I asked you to kill yourself? I-I..I have forgiven you, I am sorry too.”

They hug themselves crying.

The bloodbath between them someone was expecting didn't happened.
___

Nora who was watching everything outside the room window, though she wasn't hearing what they were saying, jumped up in happiness when she saw them hug.

“They are hugging each other Daisy!” Nora said in excitement, “I have to go outside, take me out of this room please Daisy.”

Daisy smiled at that. “Follow me.” She said leading the way as Nora and Dementia followed.

They came out and Nora pushed her way through the Nine Fingers. Paul who saw her stood up from Philly's embrace and pulled Nora to himself, hugging the living daylights out of her.

Nora returned the hug and mouthed Philly “Thank you.”

Philly smiled and stood up to his feet, he saw something that flew near Nora. He blinked his eyes when he saw the something which flew was actually a tiny human girl or lady, who was smiling at the couple.

“Nora, a tiny fellow is beside you.” Philly said and pointed at Daisy.

“Tiny fellow?” Paul asked with a raised eyebrow as he looked confused.

Nora was surprised and so was Daisy.

“I will explain everything to you later.” Nora whispered to Paul who, still looked confused but nodded his head nevertheless.

“You can see me and my sister?” Daisy asked as she flew nearer to Philly's face.

“I can see you but not your sister.. wait there are two of you? Who are you?” Philly asked not taking his eyes off Daisy. She was the most beautiful lady he had ever seen, except she was really tiny.

“She's my best friend.” Nora answered for her friend. “And her sister too, which you can't see is my friend.”

A hand clapping at the entrance door of Philly's mansion draw their attention around their surroundings, they realise too late that they have been surrounded by many Ninja's who had drawn their swords to them.

“Wow, what a nice speech. I must admit, I was touched by your talks.” Craig announced still clapping as he moved towards them.

“Dad? What's going on here, who are they?” Paul asked.

“Don’t call me that, I am not your father.” Craig announced then followed by a wicked laughter.

“What are you trying to say here Craig?” Philly asked.

“I am not your biological father, I killed him, then married your mother.”

“What? You are not our father and you killed our real father?”

“Yes Philip, I killed him, he stole your mother away from me and I waited patiently for me to strike when the time feels right, unfortunately for me, your mother was pregnant with you two when I had him killed. I tried to sweet talk her into removing you both, but she refused and gave birth to you both. I then planned how to kill you both, but didn't succeed. An idea came to me and I decided to make you both enemies. I brainwashed your mother into loving one child more than the other one, it worked. Everything was going according to my plan until now. Philip you spoilt my plan, if you have not think of begging your twin brother, by now you both would be dead.”

“So you killed our father because of something you couldn't get, and you still want to kill us, who knew nothing about it” Paul said still in surprise about the revelation.

“Yes.” Craig responded. “Philly, you weren't the one who had set the house on fire, I did with a little help. The accident which claimed the life of your mother, I did that, the plane blast, Paul's death, I planned it all with a little help from someone. I told Kirochi before he came to save you as planned, to make you have hatred for your brother, instead he taught you all the skills and secret of a Ninja, then I killed him.” Craig revealed the more. “I used Magic on you to make you do the things I did Philly and make you think you actually did it. Everything was going according to my plan until Nora showed up. Nora came into the picture. I was the one who caused the accident that took the life of Paul Mirror, I knew that Robert Mirror would make you his son once he set his eyes on you, and he did. I thought making you a Mafia killer would help my plans, because I knew that you and Philly will meet someday and kill each other. But here, instead of killing yourself as I had thought, you are embracing yourselves.” Craig said and spit out in their direction in disdain.

“You used Magic on me, who helped you? Who gave you the magic?” Philly demanded.

“Dementia here.” Craig answered as Dementia flew and landed on his shoulders, smirking towards them.

“Deme who?” Paul asked.

“No way.” Nora whispered.

“Oh, a little fairy that looks like the one Philly saw now. Dementia had helped me along all through the years. Through her I was able to see what the future holds for Philip and Philly. The only thing that prevented her from coming with me was when she was placed under a spell, by that stupid fairy her twin sister had killed.” Craig answered with a laughter.

“I knew all along that you worked for him. I thought freeing you from the spells that bind you to Lora would change your evil heart.” Daisy spoke, her eyes flashing with lightning and anger. “I Thought…. Wrong.”

Dance With Me (Silent Whispers)

Chapter 33

‘Falling in love is very real, but I used to shake my head when people talked about soul mates, poor deluded individuals grasping at some supernatural ideal not intended for mortals but sounded pretty in a poetry book. Then, we met, and everything changed, the cynic has become the converted, the sceptic, an ardent zealot.’

Somewhere In an Unknown Place:

The smell of dried blood filled the room.

Craig lay on the ground, his eyes closed in a grimace of pain, the Ninja's sent to torture him has left him in pains. Ignoring the pain in his thigh, the blood seeping from the cut in his left arm and feet, he tried to get up but screamed out in pain as he couldn't. His head hurt too much. His body hurt too much. It seemed that everything hurt too much. Slowly, his senses started to send reports back to his brain. There were bruises and cuts and scrapes and maybe some breaks all round his body. He kept his eyes closed, not because he didn’t want to see where he was, but he thought it would hurt too much to open them.

Why is Philly doing this?

He hopes that his second son survive and also hope that Nora wasn't harmed.

____

A Ninja knocked on the door Philly was in and waited for a response.

“Come in Leo.”

Leo, a built up guy, opened the door and entered the room, not surprised of how Philly knows it was him. Unlike the rest of the Ninja's that put on black, Leo dressed in all white.

Leo went to seat at the only sofa in the room since Philly was sitting on the bed Nora is and was still caressing her face.

“How far with your investigation about the killer who had killed Ivan and the other two?” Philly asked softly.

“My findings lead me to Paul Mirror, he was the one who had killed them master.” Leo reply lowly.

“I won't have believed you if Max hasn't told me himself that Paul was once a Samurai.”

“What should I do with him? Wait…he was once a Samurai?” Leo asked confusedly.

“Yeah, he was a Samurai. Max attacked him and he was brought to the hospital which Pan worked. Pan called me a few hours ago and told me about that fool who is still breathing. I told Pan to kill him once and for all, since then he hasn't call me back.” Philly explained.

“Do you think something bad might have happened to Pan? Maybe he was caught?” Leo said.

“Nah, Pan is too careful in whatever he does, this is not his first time in eliminating someone for me.” Philly said in confidence. He was definitely sure that Pan will succeed in his mission.

“If you say so master.” Leo said before a knock sounded once again on the door interrupting them. “Come in.” This time, Leo said lowly.

Two Ninja's step into the room and bowed before Philly and greeted Leo.

“We have torture the man you asked us to torture master. He is greatly injured, we injured him badly.” One of the Ninja's told Philly.

“Good, very good, he shall bleed to his death.” Philly said with a smile, “You can go now?”

The two Ninja's bowed again and left the room. At that moment, Nora start to groan in pain holding her cheek as she was finally awake.

“Leave us alone Leo.” Philly quickly ordered as Leo quietly left the room.

Philly eyes couldn't leave Nora's face as he awaits for her to open her beautiful eyes.

Valten:

David quietly left his room and knocked on Eric's door. Eric opened the door and usher David in.

“What is it bro?” Eric asked as he saw the worried look on David's face. He became alert.

“Paul just called me and told me he was attacked by Philly Ninja's. He said Philly took Nora and his father away after the help he had called backstabbed him.”

“What!? Then I must go quickly to Floda to protect him. He saved my life and I shall do the same for him.” Eric said.

“He hasn't ask for our presence yet let alone for yours. If he wants our help, he will call and ask for it. If you go to Floda now, who will protect my father, his foster father and me against those Ninja's? He knows you know how to fight the Ninja's, that is why he asked you to come with me.” David told him.

“You're right, I will try my possible best to protect those he cares about.” Eric promised.

“Good, I shall be in my room. Good night.” David said with a smile.

“Night bro.” Eric return the smile with one of his own as David left his room.

___

Max and some of his Samurai warriors had gone into Robert Mirror home in search for his father, but they couldn't find him. Out of frustration, he ordered the house servants to be killed.

Making him the master of the Samurai's was the biggest mistake Paul had ever made.

Max and Philly were friends and went to the same Ninja training. Max had to drop out when his father realized how cruel their teacher was. That was how he found himself training with some Samurai's.

When he heard that Philly was the new master, he rekindle their friendship once again and was even happy when Paul made him the new master.

Unknown to Paul, he and Philly became Ally, thus making Samurai and Ninja working together.

After they made sure none of the servants were breathing they left the mansion.

Max started thinking if he could remember the place Paul had taken him too once before, but no matter how hard he tried to remember, he couldn't remember what road they had taken to the penthouse. He stopped and gave a sign to the rest of them which prompted them to stop also.

“We shall spend the night in the old layer then continue our journey tomorrow. Its late already.” Max announced to his comrades. They all started off to the direction of their late teachers abode.

Folda:

Daisy appeared in Nora's room, dropping Dementia gently on the floor, she quickly removed whatever spells the evil fairy had cast in her body which made her not to move any part of her body.

“Where is Nora?” Dementia asked as she was able to feel her body once again.

“I don't know, let me check what happened in my absence.” Daisy said and closed her eyes, concentrating. She soon opened her eyes. “He has taken her as I had foreseen earlier.” Daisy said after a while.

“Who has taken her?” Dementia ask not quite getting it.

“I can't go into much detail dementia, but we have to find out where ever Nora is.” Daisy reply. “I thought I would make it in time.” she added sadly.

“Have you forgotten so soon sis what I can do?”

Daisy eyes widened in remembrance. “It has escaped my mind.” She said happily and went over to where Nora's wardrobe is and opened it with her magic.

Dementia flew inside it and breathed in Nora's scent. Closing her eyes she began rubbing her Palm together as she started whispering softly.

A small golden ball of light started forming in her palm as she opened her eyes.

The golden ball of light started levitating itself and Dementia use her magic to open Nora's closed window.

The ball of light flew out of the window into the night.

“We have to follow that ball of light, it will take us to wherever Nora is being kept.” Dementia told her twin. Together they flew outside, Dementia closed Nora's room window after them before they started following the golden ball of light.

***

Valten:

How can he hear it's Silent whispers?

Paul thought to himself and went over to where the box lay, dug out the key to it he had buried beside the box the day his master had given him the box.

Opening the box which revealed the sword in it, still the way it was when his master had shown him.

He heard his master's voice again.

“There is a saying that goes: ‘the sword that saves man kills man’. The sword is a tool for killing. No matter whose hands it is in. If you want to master this particular sword, then you must be at peace with death. When you hear its silent whispers, you will know the name of the sword.”

Paul sat on the floor in India style, closing his eyes, he focus all his attention on the sword in the box, he placed his two hands over the sword and started whispering.

“Dance With Me, let me become one with you.”

Few minutes later, Paul heard something or rather a word, he opened his eyes and saw the sword floating in the air. The sword sheath was still in the box.

“The Sword of Attila.” Paul spoke out. He widened his eyes in shock as if he didn't know when he said those words out. “The Sword of Attila.” He whispered again as he watches the sword.

“Hold the sword, it has accepted you. It is now yours.” A voice spoke in his head and Paul did as he was instructed.

Grabbing hold of the sword, he stood up from the floor.

He remembered what his late master had taught about the sword dance and had shown it to him once. The memories were still intact, he started dancing with the sword like his master had showed him.

30 minutes Later, Paul was through with his sword dancing, he took the sheath inside the box and put the sword back.

He turned to face the statues and went over to where the drum was, he beat the drum.

Nothing happened.

He beat the drum again, nothing happened.

He found out he couldn't control his right hand when it grab hold of the sword and remove it once again from its sheath.

The sword he was holding suddenly left his hand and flew towards the statues. One by one the sword hit them in different rhythm and it went back into Paul's right hand.

Paul suddenly found himself hitting the drum with the sword in a tune he doesn't know. It was as if the sword has its own thought as it was counting the beat.

The statues started to come alive one after the other as he beat the drum with the sword.

As soon as all the statues became alive, the drum which Paul was beating turned into dust immediately.

The ten Samurai began to kneel before Paul one after the other. Their clothes were all Red in color except for their eyes and hair which were dark in color.

“We are at your command master.” One of them spoke as the Nine Samurai nodded their heads at the same in confirmation to what he said.

“Command us Master.” The ten of them said together.

The dust from which the drum had turned into began to transform into ten swords as they levitate and landed beside each Samurai.

Paul smiled for the first time that night.

“Stand up.” He said to them. They stood up to their feet. “First of all, don't refer to me as Master, I am simply Paul. Two, I really need your help in fighting against some Ninja's and collecting what was taken away from me.” Paul told the Ten Samurai's.

“None of our old masters has ever allowed us call them by their names execpt you.” The last of the ten Samurai spoke.

“Well I am not like them, just call me Paul. Please, tell me your names.”

“We have no names Paul, we are just called the Ten Immortals of Samurai.” The first Samurai who had spoken said again.

“Okay, once this is over, I am going to give you guys a name each. From now henceforth, we are brothers.” Paul told them with a smile. “The night is still young, let's get out of here.” he added as he lead them out of the secret chambers.

He came out with them in the compound and just at the same time, Max and his comrades jumped into the compound.

Paul was surprised when he saw them but his surprise quickly turned into hatred when he saw Max with them.

Max was equally surprised when he saw Paul, standing alone, standing by himself...fully healed.

How was he able to escape death? He had made sure he won't survive the sword wounds and now, Paul was standing in front of him...not dead.

“Max, you betrayed me, I gave you the title of Master, yet you have the guts to betray me, Why?”

“Well if you must know, Philly and I were friends way back then. You fall in love with the wrong girl Paul.”

“Was that the reason why you stabbed me?”

“You didn't die as we had expected Paul, indeed you're a fighter.” Max responded. “And since you didn't die back in Floda, I will have to kill you again.”

“If I didn't die then in Floda, what makes you think I will die Max?”

“You're alone and I have my Samurai warriors with me.” Max said.

Paul turned his head to look at his back, he saw his Samurai behind him. Seeing his confused eyes one of the Samurai spoke. “They can't see us except you Paul. If you want, you can make us visible to the world.”

“How?” Paul whisper quitely.

“With your sword.” The ten said together.

Paul nodded his head in understanding and remove his sword from its sheath.

“You think you can kill my Samurai's with that sword of yours? Listen, they have been trained....”

“If you had been listening to what Master Sari (Paul's old Samurai teacher name) has been teaching us, maybe you might know what kind of sword I am holding, but no, your brains were filled with Philly thoughts.” Paul interrupted him.

“Attack him!” Max shouted in annoyance. The Samurai's with Max started running towards Paul.

Paul quickly made his sword touch one of the immortals Samurai with the sharp edge of the sword which made him visible. “Kill everyone except the one I spoke too.” He ordered.

The Samurai he had released nodded his head and ran towards the other Samurai's.

He was very fast and before one could count up to 3, all the Samurai's lay on the ground in pieces.

Max stood alone now and was surprised when he saw his comrades in pieces. Who ever this new Samurai is, he was dangerous. He turned to run away at least to escape and tell Philly what he saw when he saw Paul standing behind him.

“Going somewhere?” Paul asked him as he thrust the sword into Max stomach before he could reply him. He thrust the sword once again.

“I can heal you, if only you tell me the whereabouts of Nora. I healed myself, that was how I had survived. I can also heal you if you tell me where Philly took my Nora too, I promise you.”

Max quickly told him where Philly hideout is.

Paul removed the sword from Max stomach and thrust it for the last time, this time into Max heart. “Sometimes I don't keep my promise, especially to backstabbers.”

Max breathed his last as he fell to the ground in a loud thud. Paul remove his sword and clean off the blood on it in Max clothes.

He uses the sharp edge of the sword and touch the remaining nine.

“We're paying my brother a visit.”

****

Somewhere In an Unknown Place:

Nora quickly opened her eyes when she remembered what had happened. Philly had slapped her and she had fainted. She looked around her and noticed with fear that she wasn't in her grandmother's house.

The cleaning of throat brought her attention to person she wish not to see again, Philly.

“Am sorry I slapped you my love.” Philly apologize.

“Take Me Home right this minute whoever you're.” Nora said

“My name is Philly my love, the twin brother to Philip who died in a plane crash.”

“Well you're wrong, Philip is not dead as you had thought, he is alive and you planned with that guy to stab him.”

“You mean to say Paul is Philip?”

“Yes, Paul is Philip and you know what, even if he is not Philip, I will still choose him instead of a monster like you.”

“He won't survive that wound Max gave him and even if he does, he won't escape me.” Philly said in determination as he moved closer to Nora who shifted back. “Why can't you love me the way you love my brother. I have his face and everything yet you don't love me, why?”

“My heart doesn't want you, please let me go.”

“Too late for that Nora, I can't let you go. I will have you all to myself.” Philly said shifting closer to her.

Unfortunately for Nora, her back hit the wall at the end of the bed. There was no escape.

“I love you Nora with every fiber in my body.”

“And I don't love you Philly. I belong to Paul.”

“Well you belong to me Nora, your body, your soul, everything belongs to me and I swear, I won't allow Paul or Philly or whoever come between us.” Philly said staring at her shaking body and licking his lips, that sent shivers down her spine. “You have never been with a man before Nora, I am glad for that, I will be your first and last my love.” Philly said with a wicked smile as he touched Nora arms and bring her closer to him, closing the remaining gap between them.

“Please don't touch me.” Nora pleaded in tears.

“Too late for that, I have waited so long and patiently for this my love. You will enjoy it...enjoy me when I ravish all your body.” Philly said pushing her to the bed and quickly climb her, holding her hands above her head as Nora tried to get away from him. He raised his body up a little bit from Nora's and used his free hand to start tearing the clothes Nora wore with ease.

“You can't do this to me Philly, I will do anything but this, please.” Nora pleaded with tears.

Philly didn't answer her as he removed her clothes save for her bra and panties. His eyes were filled with lust as he saw Nora's naked body.

“I will scream out my lungs.” Nora threaten with tears.

“Scream all you want my love, no one can save you, but I can assure you that your scream will turn into moans for me by the time I am done with you.” Philly said as he suddenly kissed her roughly, his hand going for her bra and yanked it off her breast.

Someone please save me.

Nora thought as the tears poured out the more from her eyes.

Daisy? Paul?

Help me.

Chapter 32

‘I say this to you now: I love you, with no beginning, no end. I love you as you have become an extra necessary organ in my body. I love you as only a girl could love a boy. Without fear. Without expectations. Wanting nothing in return, except that you allow me to keep you here in my heart, that I may always know your strength, your eyes, and your spirit that gave me freedom and let me fly.’

Paul carried Kate into the front of her gate. Dropping her gently to her feet, he knocked on the gate which was opened by the gate man. He opened the gate when he saw who it was.

Without any further delay, they both entered the house. Jolie and the rest servants were still awake and they became surprised when they saw Paul and Kate entering the sitting room.

“Let's call it a night, go to your quarters and make sure you lock the door securely.” Kate announced before anyone will ask her questions, Jolie and the rest servants nodded their heads and made to move when Kate voice stopped Jolie. “Jolie, don't forget to switch on the danger alert.”

“Yes ma'am.” Jolie reply and went with the rest of the servants to their sleeping quarters.

They were left alone.

“You go to sleep ma'am.” Paul said.

“How can I sleep when my granddaughter and your father is out there with that devil, do you have any idea what he might do to them, especially Nora? We don't even know where he took them.” Kate said as she suddenly burst into tears.

“Listen ma'am, nothing will happen to Nora and my father. I will bring them home safely.” Paul said trying to assure her.

“You are wounded already, how can you save them when you saw what they did to you. It is extremely dangerous if you face them, you can't handle it yourself my son, I will involve the police into this.” Kate said.

“No ma'am, you will only cause more death, I will handle it my own way and for my wounds, I know how to heal it.” Paul said to her. “Go and sleep, you need some rest.”

Kate sighed sadly and nodded head. “Promise me Paul, that you will bring them back.”

“I promise you. My twin brother had gone too far.” Paul promised.

“No wonder he has your face and came here and made us believe he was you, but you know you have a twin brother, how then did he ended up like that?”

“I don't know what really happened to him myself. When we were Young, we've always got each other back, then a fire accident happened...I... I tried, my father tried everything we could but we couldn't save him, he was gone, we couldn't find his body, I thought he was gone for good only for him to reappear years later with a vengeful heart. I don't know what changed in him but he wasn't like this.” Paul explained with tears in his eyes. “Please ma'am, give me Pan's phone.”

“I now see why he took your father with him.” Kate said in thought as she gave Paul Pan's phone that was with her.

“Yes, I just hope that he will hurt none of them. Your eyes are heavy with sleep, please go and rest it.”

Kate left for her room as Paul sat on the floor of the sitting room, he concentrates on the wound in his stomach.

Casala:

“Aww, you missed the part where you should have told her that I am equally your match.” Daisy said sweetly. “And you sending your clone which I defeated in my kingdom, shows how weak you are.”

“Mind the way you talk to me little fairy, don't forget I still have the ancient evil book with me.” The Sluagh fairy said.

“And you think you're the only one who has read the evil book? Well think again.” Daisy said.

“It's never too late to know who will win Daisy.” The Sluagh fairy said.

“True, but I have been preparing myself for this for a long time, if the universe weren't on my side, how did you think I met Lora's twin sister? If the universe weren't on my side, I wouldn't have met dementia today…...nor you.” Daisy told the Sluagh fairy with a smile. “So you see why I have no fear, because I know the universe is with me.”

“Then, let's play shall we.” The Sluagh fairy said with her own smile as she raised up a hand to the air.

“Aliese duru rýne.”

A skeleton face in the form of a smoke appeared before the evil Sluagh fairy. “Kill her.” She commanded pointing her fingers towards the tiny figure of Daisy.

The smoke skeleton face moved with speed towards Daisy who just look calmly at it.

“Gielde ic þec þissa meowles sawol... Gyden æblæce.” Daisy spoke so quietly that the evil fairy couldn't hear her. The smoke skeleton face that was approaching her dissolve immediately before it reaches her face. “Is that all you've got? I thought you're strong but this clearly shows that you are just boasting.” Daisy said taunting her.

“I am just getting started little fairy.” The Sluagh fairy said with gritted teeth and started singing slowly:

Lovely night has come to us, lovely night, soft and dark; the lovely night that ends a long and hard, weary day; so rest... Lay your body down, forget your life. Spiders of the night come, spin your silky webs. Spiders of the night come. Now, spiders of the night! Wrapped in your shroud, dead to the world. Come and infest on this ill-gotten soul that I presented to you.

All the doors and windows crashed open, wind swirling in and sending everything flying as huge black spiders begin to climb inside.

Even with such noise, Mary and James didn't hear it.

Lora suddenly screamed out in fear as the huge spiders descended into her room seem hideous.

“Be quite Lora, they are not here to hurt you.” The Sluagh fairy told her.

Daisy shook her head and whisper some words.

The black spiders disappeared as quickly as they came.

“Didn't I told you that you weren't the only one who had read that book. So every of your next spells, I know how to destroy them.”

The Sluagh fairy stamped her foot impatiently. She flung something at Daisy - it looked like a small ball of mud and spat a word. The ball of mud erupted into a plethora of dark green vines and wrapped tightly around Daisy.

Oh. A tangle-vine. Of course.

Daisy's eyes widened, then narrowed. She muttered something beneath her breath, then the vines suddenly burst into flame. In moments, there was nothing left of them but ashes.

“Be careful sister!” Dementia shouted towards her sister.

Daisy only nodded her head but couldn't reply dementia, all her focus were on the Sluagh fairy.

Scowling, the Sluagh threw something (Dementia saw a flash of light - a bottle?) at Daisy, who flung up a handful of powder out of nowhere. The bottle turned into a butterfly and fluttered around, looking very confused. Dementia couldn't blame it. It must be very disorienting to spend your life as an inanimate object and suddenly be given wings and a brain. Such as it was.

The Sluagh fairy and Daisy made a few more exchanges, the Sluagh fairy growing increasingly irate, Daisy seeming to relax, oddly enough.

There was a sudden flash out of the corner of her eye and Dementia turned - just in time to get hit in the chest with a spell of some kind.

Pain. Overwhelming pain.

She screamed.

"Dementia!" Daisy shrieked, staring at her as she collapsed on the floor and could not move her body, though her eyes were wide open.

"Now, I got your twin sister," The Sluagh fairy announced triumphantly.

Even through her agony, Dementia couldn't miss the way Daisy's eyes flashed a vivid orange. "How dare you," she snarled.

Showing some semblance of sense and fear for the first time in her life, the Sluagh fairy took a step backward. It wasn't enough, not even close; only twice before had Dementia seen her twin sister this angry. The results... hadn't been pretty.

Daisy drew a handful of something out of nowhere again, then yanked out a few strands of her hair and added them in. Last, she took out a tiny dagger and slashed her hand, allowing the blood to mingle with the other items.

"What are you-" The Sluagh fairy started to say.

Daisy cut her off. "I was going to turn you into a mouse after I am done playing with you," she said coldly, "But this seems more... fitting." Her words were hard as ice as she chanted them, devoid of the heat that usually infused everything she did. They made everyone recoil, and not just the Sluagh fairy.

The flames now coming out from her hair turned blood red, throbbing rather than flickering. A shadow seemed to coil around her, casting the entire room into darkness - all save for Daisy and the evil Sluagh fairy. Those two figures were illuminated with more of that twisting, sickening red. Daisy spoke the final words, flinging her wounded hand out toward the Sluagh fairy and spattering blood across the floor between them.

"May you never return," Daisy said quietly, almost too quietly to be heard.

Black and red swirled around the Sluagh fairy, tighter and tighter, pulsing and throbbing, smaller and smaller until at last there was nothing left except for the book floating mid-air

The room returned to normal as it was before the fight.

Daisy spoke some words and the book caught fire, burning up Immediately.

Lora was shocked when she saw what happened.

“I give to you what you gave to your sister.” Daisy spoke as she pointed at Lora, she knew the girl wasn't seeing her as Nora did.

Lora was suddenly engulfed by darkness as she couldn't see.

Daisy went over to where Dementia was and use magic spell to pick her up and disappeared.

She felt pity for Lora and only made her go blind, it is what the universe wants, so that it would teach her a lesson.

Floda:

Paul opened his eyes when he couldn't feel any pain again. He removed the bandage and smile when he saw his stomach is as good as new.

He quickly pocket Pan’s phone and brought out his own phone. He put a call across David.

“Hello Paul, is everything okay?” David asked yawning as he picked it.

“No, sorry that I woke you up by now but we were attacked, the guy who I call my friend betrayed me and stabbed me. Philly took Nora and my father away.”

“What? You shouldn't have sent us to come here, we could have protected you and all these wouldn't have happened.” David said in anger.

“I know, but you all safety is important to me. Tell Eric so that he can be more vigilant from now onwards.” Paul said.

“I will tell him. But where are you and grandma Kate at the moment?” David ask.

“In her house.” Paul reply.

“Isn't that risky, won't Philly attacked her when you're not there.”

“No, he won't hurt her because of Nora, but I will make sure that she's safe. I will call you again. Send my regards to uncle and dad.” Paul said and ended the call.

He went outside and jumped over the fence with skills, making sure his body made no contact with the red line all over the fence.

He ran with inhuman speed towards where he normally keeps some of his boats for emergencies like this.

He soon arrives at Valten and ran towards his late master home.

The place was deserted when he arrived, this was where he and the rest Samurai's all trained.

He climbed the old fence with ease and started off towards the direction where his master had taken him too.

Entering the dark secret chamber, he clapped his hands once and the candlelight came on, lightning the dark room to reveal the 10 statues of the Immortals with the drum in their middle.

His eyes went towards the old box lying beside it and heard his late master's voice in his head as if he was there with him.

“To have control over this Sword and the ten immortal Samurai's statues, you must hear it's silent whispers that will beckon you to Dance With It.”

Chapter 31

‘You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not. Maybe the only vow we ever need to offer the one we love is this: I will never, not for a sliver of a second, make you feel alone.’

“Sure boss, I will get back to you.” Pan said and ended the call. He went to get some deadly liquid substance he normally keeps in his office drawer. Inserting and opening the drawer with his keys, he brought out the poisonous substance he will use to inject Paul out and smiled cruelly. Taking it and a new injection, he closed the drawer.

Pan left his office and walk towards the ward he saw Kate entered thinking of a new plan.

****

Valten:

2 Hours Later saw David, Mark, Robert and Eric in Paul's hidden penthouse.

“Wow, I never knew my son has a place as beautiful as this.” Robert remarked as he walked round the house delighted. “At least he got a better taste.”

They had eaten before coming so they weren't hungry. David excuse himself and went to the room he had occupied when Paul had brought him here, while Eric also excuse himself and entered Paul's room.

He went to the wardrobe and open it. No clothes were in it, only weapons. He first saw his weapons, sword and his Shuriken (Ninja Star), he also saw other weapons Paul had talked about, but he wasn't interested in them, he was about to close the wardrobe when his eyes caught something at the far end of the wardrobe.

A chigiriki weapon.

The weapon is a hollow iron cane that has an iron weight attached to a chain hidden inside mainly used by Samurai's.

“Hmm.” Eric mused taking the weapon. He was going to use that. Paul is a box full of surprises and he is very sure Philly doesn't know yet that his opponent is a Samurai neither does he know that Paul is his twin sister.

Closing the wardrobe, he left Paul's room and made sure it was locked securely before going to the room he was given. He has to learn how to use the chigiriki weapon.

___

Mark and Robert who were silent all the way from Robert mansion down to the penthouse kept sealing a glance at each other as they sat opposite one another.

Mark decided to speak first.

“Thank you for calling me and letting me know what was going on.”

Robert smiled and nodded his head. “Its Paul we should be great for, he told me everything.” Robert reply. The memory card David had given to him holds a recording voice of Paul, telling him everything that has been happening and requested he get David father with them so that his enemies won't use any one of them to threaten him. He also said that Eric will protect them from harm.

“But Paul isn't here so that is why I am thanking you, though he also saved my son's life some days ago from the hands of the assassin's. I am sorry about how I treated you in the past, I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me brother.”

“You wrong no one Mark, it's true we went our different ways just because of a little misunderstanding, you wanted me to stay off the path I was heading too and I also wanted you to stay off from yours, but we couldn't agree. At the end, you became successful at your chosen career and I became a Mafia Lord. We all got what we all wanted in the end, except for one thing which we always hope for, family. I realize in my journey into the Mafia world, family is important, no matter how high we soar, we are still family. That was why I allowed my son to be friends with yours, at least we shouldn't keep our children away from each other because we have a little beef. I am so glad that I am finally talking to you after all these years.” Robert told his brother.

“Thank you Robert.” Mark thanked sincerely as he and his brother both stood up at the same time and hug themselves.

“Finally, I can visit my cousin whenever I want to openly and not secretly again.” David voice was heard behind them as he overhead all their discussion.

He was happy for them, at long last, their feud between them as been resolved and they were brothers once again.

Both old men laugh at that David remark.

“So son where are we going to sleep tonight?” Mark asked his son.

“My former plan was to allow the both of you stay in a room, but since you have all made up, there will be no need for that. There are two empty rooms beside each other at the other end, choose any one. Good night Dad, good night uncle.” With that David left them towards his room.

Casala:

Lora started saying the magic words written on the paper that was inside the box.

She kept repeating the words for close to 20 minutes when suddenly, a huge breeze started blowing right there in her room.

Lora started smiling as her wheezy, cackling voice rose higher and higher as she neared the end of her incantation.

Lora was thrilled to see a light shining as it began to take shape.

Once the light has cleared out, the evil Sluagh evil was seen.

She was hideous of appearance, mumbling to herself with that dreamy, ghastly smile. Her hair was lank and lustreless, falling around her like strings of rotting straw. Her lupine eyes, savage and cunning, only came to life when she muttered certain arcane words from a spell. She was too ugly yet beautiful to behold. She was floating in the air as she stood before Lora’s, unlike Daisy and Dementia who are small fairies, the evil Sluagh fairy was a normal human being.

“What is it my child, you sent for me.” She said as her voice vibrated the room.

Lora stood up from where she sat and bowed before her.

“Yes I call on you. You told me to call on you whenever I need something.”

“What do you want my child?” The Sluagh evil fairy asked.

“Dee that you gave to me can't do what I ask of her.” Lora answer.

“Where is she?”

Lora pointed at where Dementia was, still hitting her head on the wall. Looking at the small fairy, the Sluagh shrugged her shoulders and turn back to Lora. “Well that serves her right my child. What is it that you want her to do that she couldn't?”

“I asked her to make someone fall in love with me, but she started telling me different stories.” Lora said eyeing Dee with her eyes.

“Lora, my child, Dementia is a weak fairy but don't worry you have me, I will do that for you, all I need is his full name.”

“Thank you, I know I can always count on you. His full name is Paul Mirror.” Lora said excitedly.

“Then my child, this Paul Mirror, is all yours.” The evil Sluagh fairy said. And raised up her hands, closing her eyes. “Lyft sy þe in Paul Mirror bǽlwylm ac forhienan se Lora Dante wiðere.”

The Sluagh fairy waited but nothing happened. She tried another spell.

“Túce hwón frec ðu, Paul Mirror. Þec feoh nom gyse. Cume morðor rice ær. Túce hwón frec ðu, Lora Dante.”

She opened her eyes quickly. “Strange.”

“What's strange?” Lora demanded.

“The Paul Mirror that was shown to me has died years ago.” The Sluagh fairy revealed.

“That's impossible, Paul Mirror is much alive and not dead.”

“My powers never lie to me before. Let me check again.” She told Lora and close her eyes once more. “Ic nemne þá grædige, yfele, formolsnung. Cume lǽn and mé getryme! Nu meaht Paul Mirror þú begalan. Nu meaht þú begalan.”

“I was shown a decay skeleton, and when I drew closer to it, I found out it was the dead body of Paul Mirror. He is dead.”

“But I saw him earlier today with my stupid sister when we went to pay her a visit. Speaking of her, she has regained her sight back.”

“What? That's not possible, the spell I cast on her was permanent.”

“Yes and I removed it.” A new voice said drawing the fairy attention to the intruder.

“Daisy?”

“Yes its me, surprise to see me here?” Daisy said. Daisy had came in when the Sluagh fairy was performing her spells. She flew to meet her sister and removed the spells that was binding her before she made her presence known.

“Oh queen Daisy or should I say former queen Daisy, what brought you here?”

Lora wasn't seen Daisy and was surprised that the evil fairy is speaking to an empty room.

“Who's here with us?”

“Dementia twin sister.”

“Then kill her, she is interrupting us.”

“That would be very difficult, she is not as weak as her twin sister.”

****

Floda:

Doctor Pan entered the ward and Kate was surprised to see him again, twice.

“Doctor Pan, I hope there is no problem?”

“Of course not Mrs Kate, I am only here to give him his drugs.” Doctor Pan said showing Kate the injection he was holding.

“What about the other doctor who first attended to him?”

“Actually he was the one who told me to come here because I am your family doctor.” Doctor Pan reply convincingly to Kate who believe him.

He went over to where Paul lay, taking the poisonous substance with the new injection, he was about to inject the needle into Paul's body when Paul other hand stopped his.

Before Pan will blink his eyes or react back, Paul had already taken the injection from him and thrust it into his neck with a force and made the substance go through his body. He brought out the injection out of Pan neck and thrust it again in a different place, he did that five more times before he pushed the now lifeless body of Pan off him to the ground and started removing all wires attached to him.

That was when he remembered Kate was in the room, he saw her shocked to her bone. Her face said it all.

“Am sorry I did that in front of you ma'am, but he is not what you think he is.”

Finding her voice once again. “I don't understand.”

“I overhead his discussion with Philly who ordered him to kill me.” Paul said as he stood up from the bed and touch his bandage stomach. One of the abilities of a Samurai was the ability to hear things within that environment.

“He was sent to kill you? But he was my family doctor.” Kate said as she watches Paul bend down over the dead body, searching him ignoring her question, he took out Pan’s phone and gave it to Kate to keep it.

“You know the owner of this hospital, right ma'am?”

“Yes, he's my friend, any problem?”

“Good, call him now that a Ninja attacked us and killed Pan in the process. After telling him just, scream out in fear and drop your phone on the ground.”

Kate did that after telling the doctor about the Ninja attacks, she started screaming and dropped her phone on the floor.

Paul broke the glass window and carry Kate in a bride style and jumped out.

Running with faster speed, he headed towards the place he hasn't been for a long time.

He was going to beat the drum, he was ready to be one with the sword.

Chapter 30

'The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That’s what I hope to give you forever, you are what I need in my life. You are my one.'

Still On The Remembrance:

"You mean this statues will come to life and be at my command once I beat this old drum." Paul said as he pointed at the dusty drum. He was surprised.

"Yes. The Samurai's are the strongest when it comes to the assassin's world. I will tell you a story Paul. A long time ago there were two brothers, the elder one loathed after the younger one, and would do everything within his power to make sure his younger brother was not loved by their father.

As the years went by, the father saw the hatred in his elder son eyes and sent him to distance friend of his who was a Ninja master. His plan was to allow his friend change his son since he couldn't. After much training he came back home more deadly and evil, his father heard he killed his own master. Confronting his elder son, he engaged his father to a duel. He killed his father and also went ahead to kill his younger brother. But he didn't succeed, because he found out too late that his younger brother had escaped.

He trained his late Father's disciples and turn them into Ninja's." The old man stop to catch his breath as he walk towards a rusty look long box which laid on the ground, and which Paul notice at that moment.

"So what happened to the younger brother?" Paul asked interested in the story.

"He became a Samurai and trained people into becoming a Samurai. He was my great grandfather. Which is why Ninja's and Samurai's don't ever get along." He answered as he got to where the box was, he brought out his necklace which held a key in it. With the key he used it and open the box.

He brought out a sword from it which was covered in dust.

Removing the sword from its sheath after blowing away the dirt, he swung it around him faster, he removed his hand from the sword handle as the sword started rolling mid-air by itself.

"My late great grandfather and his Ninja friend were once taught a secret sword dance. Since I am choosing you as my next successor, I will teach you the technique." The master said, "Watch what the sword is doing closely and you will see that the sword isn't fighting, rather it is dancing." He told Paul who focused all his attention on the sword. His master stretch forth his right hand and the sword landed on his palm. "You have to become one with this sword. Since you have already learn the Eight Virtues of Samurai, this one will be easy to master. Remember, it is shown only to a successor once, but I trust you... you're sharp and you will grab it quickly. So Paul, are you ready?"

"Yes master, I am." Paul responded, taking a glance at the Samurai statues and finally on the sword his master was holding. "I am ready master."

"Good answer Paul. To learn the art of this sword, I will teach you how to dance with it. One day Paul, you may meet someone who also knows this technique. I hope when that day comes, you shall come out victorious." The master said.

"I will come out victorious master." Paul told him with determination and courage.

****

Arriving at the hospital, Paul was quickly attended, he was moved into the theatre and his wound was stitch. Kate was told to buy some blood in their blood bank since he had lost so much blood. Kate wasted no time in paying for the 5 pints of blood the doctors had requested. After they had finished operating on him, they moved him to a private ward as requested by Kate.

"Is he going to be okay doctor?" Kate asked the doctor in charge.

"Yes he will, he will survive." The doctor replied her and left her to attend to some of his other patients.

Kate went to Paul's ward and sat beside him.

He was breathing slowly. Placing her hands on his, she whispered with tears. "You're going to be okay Paul. Get well soon."

****

Valten:

David and Eric arrived at Valten and they quickly made their way into the residence of Robert Mirror.

As soon as they entered the compound, they saw Robert was about leaving the house for an urgent business.

He came to a halt beside his car when he saw David and Eric.

"David?"

Greeting his Uncle, "Yes uncle, its me. Paul asked us to deliver something to you."

"Really? Then let's go inside the house."

They entered the house.

David gave the memory card to Robert who excused himself and went upstairs.

30 Minutes Later:

Coming down the stairs with a serious look. He went back to his seat.

"David, I have called your father to discuss the dangers of him being there alone. He will soon be here. Paul told me to keep aside whatever scores I had with my brother and help him before the Ninja's does."

"That is why we came here sir, Paul instructed us to take you and David's father to his secret hideout." Eric spoke.

"I have no problem with that, Mark will be here soon."

****

Casala:

Lora quickly got down from the car that had came to pick them up at the airport, and walk angrily all the way from the car to her room ignoring her parents calls.

She made sure her room door was locked before she went to her wardrobe, opening it and brought out a little box, opening it with care, it revealed a piece of paper with words written on it.

"Are you sure you want to call her?" Dee voice was heard.

"Don't ask me such silly questions, since you can't do a little task such as this, let me summon the one who had brought you to me in the first place, and tell her how stupid and powerless you're." Lora answered.

"I told you to leave him alone that he has the blessings of the love goddess and focus on David, but you said no. If you had listen, at least David would have still be yours." Dee told her.

"How dare you talk to me in such manner? Listen and listen good, Paul will be soon mine and that's it, I don't care if a goddess or something is protecting him, all I know he will never end up with anyone else especially with Nora. And as for talking to to me in such a rude manner, go and hit your head on the wall until I told you to stop." Lora ordered immediately.

Dee didn't argue, she went to do as she was told.

***

Somewhere in a forest, a huge Mansion was seen as Philly ran with inhuman speed towards the mansion.

Entering the house, he made his way to his room with Nora, who was still sleeping, in his arms. Placing her gently on his bed as he stare at her lustfully.

What he has patiently waited to have is now right here before him.

He smiled as he began to caress her face.

She now belongs to him. He can't wait for her to wake up so that he could start ravishing her whole body.

A Ninja came in through the door and knelt down before Philly.

"What shall we do to the man we brought with us master?"

"Torture him a little." Philly replied not taking his eyes off Nora.

She will soon be awake and he wants her to see him first.

"Okay master." The Ninja said and left the room.

****

Floda Hospital:

Kate was surprised when she saw her family doctor who was equally surprised on seeing her. He worked with the hospital she had brought Paul to. She had gone out to make a call to Jolie when she encounter him.

"What happened Mrs Kate, who was injured this time?" He asked worriedly.

"A friend of Nora, Paul, some thieves came into my house tonight and stabbed him a multiple times, but he is now okay and will survive. What are you doing here doctor, I thought today wasn't your night shift?" Kate ask changing the topic.

"Yes, a senior colleague of mine asked me to come that he wants to discuss something important with me, and I can't refuse him."

"Okay then doctor, let me not delay you any further." Kate said and entered the ward Paul was kept forgetting about the call.

Going further a little bit, the doctor entered one of the bathroom and dialed Philly's number.

"Yes what is it Pan?" Philly demanded immediately he picked the call.

"He is still alive boss."

"You're a doctor Pan, you know how to deal with him. Just make sure he doesn't survive it. Finish him off for good."

Chapter 29

'I'm not perfect. I'll annoy you, piss you off, say stupid things, then take it all back. But put that all aside and you'll never find a person who cares or loves you more than me. I fall more deeply in love with you, every single day.'

Paul watches on until Philly was out of sight before turning his head to look at Nora.

"You shouldn't be talking to him in that way when you're alone with him." Paul said as his eyes roamed worriedly over her body. "He is dangerous Nora and might hurt you, so please don't ever talk back at him." Paul added as he raised his eyebrows at her as she approaches him.

Placing her hands round Paul's neck and lifting up her legs to be almost the same height with Paul, bringing her face closer to him. "I have heard you my handsome savior Paul, now I want you to kiss away the bad taste of the fake Philip in my lips."

"I am very serious here, promise me you won't try to talk back to him when you know you're alone with him."

"I promise Paul, now hold my waist, my legs are already paining me and kiss me." Nora said with a smile and Paul returned it.

Wrapping up his stronger hand round her waist, he lowered his head and kissed her.

As soon as their lips touches, Paul lost memories came back, he remembered everything.

****

Philly was filled with so much anger when he entered his room.

He so much wanted to break that idiot that calls himself Paul jaw and plug out his heart.

But he held himself back. Nora is just lucky that he loves her.

His phone vibration brought him back to earth as he answered the call from Leo.

"Yes, what happened to the Ninja's sent here?" Philly demanded angrily.

"I don't know what happened master, but they couldn't be reached on their phones. They just disappeared." Leo answered. "I will keep on looking for...."

Interrupting him. "Don't bother, come here tonight, and when coming, come with the Nine Fingers. That stupid Paul has to die tonight."

"Yes master." Leo reply and waited for Philly to end the call.

As soon as he end the call, another call came in. Picking it up.

"Yes?" He waited as he listens to what the caller was telling him. "Then come, he won't know what hit him."

There will be no escape for Paul.

****

Paul quickly ended the kiss, "I remember everything Nora."

"You mean your memories are back?"

"Yes, I remember this house, I remember seeing you the first day grandma Kate brought you from Casala. My lost memories of Philip has returned."

"That's good news, let's go and inform grandma immediately."

"You go, I will join you soon, my friends are here, I want to discuss something important with them.

Kissing his cheek, "Okay handsome." Nora said and left him, going towards the second sitting room where Kate and Craig was.

Paul left and went to meet David and Eric.

"Did her grandmother allowed you to stay?" Eric asked first.

"I haven't ask her yet, but she will. That is not what brought me here." Paul said, putting his hand in his breast pocket, he brought out a memory card and handed it to David. "You two shall fly to Valten now with the jet. Once you get to my father, give him that memory card, he will bring your father."

David nodded his head although not understanding some of it.

"Eric, you will go back to my secret hideout (penthouse) with my father, Uncle and David. You all should stay there until I am back." Paul said and touched Eric shoulder in a friendly way and whispered to him. "You once asked me how you are going to repay my kindness, now is the time. I am leaving those three in your hands. Your weapons and others weapons are in my room wardrobe, ask one of the guards to show you."

"Why all these rush Paul?" David demanded.

"I have this feeling that something will happen tonight and our fathers will be their targets. I will be fine, go, the day is still bright."

"Alright Paul, take care brother." David said

"And you too David, take care of yourself Eric."

David and Eric left the house as they boarded a taxi.

****

Nora soon ran all the way as she entered the sitting room.

Kate and Craig were surprised by her behavior.

"What has gotten into you Nora?" Kate asked with a smile.

"Grandma, there is something I need to tell you."

"Go on, we are listening." Kate responded with a smile.

"Philip isn't Philip, he is the twin brother of Philip that lived here with us." Nora finally revealed.

"What? That's is not possible, Philly died in a fire accident when he was a kid." Craig said not believing.

"That's where you're wrong, Philly didn't die because he is the one claiming to be Philip. But that's not the main news, the good news is that I know who the real Philip is." Nora said with happiness.

"What do you mean?" Kate asked.

"What I am trying to say is that, the real Philip is alive and he is no other than the person who had saved my life."

"Hold on, are you trying to tell us Philip is Paul?" Craig asked to be sure he heard right.

"Exactly, but I know you will have some doubts about it, so I will he will stay over and prepare our dinner." Nora told them with a smile. "I am sure we all remembered his taste of cooking."

"If you are so sure of what you just said now, then let him stay and prepare our dinner meal tonight." Kate said.

Nora jumped in Joy and went to hug her grandmother and Craig before leaving them alone.

"Isn't she making this up?" Kate asked.

"I don't think so ma'am, she sounded so happy. No wonder I felt this fatherly connection with Paul today. Either ways we are going to find out through his cooking tonight."

****

Not long David and Eric left, Max jumped through the fence and when he straighten up, he was surprised when he saw Paul in front of him.

"You came at the right time friend." Paul said and hugged him.

"I have too bro, its been long I saw you."

"Thanks for coming, just stay hidden until I give you our signal."

Max nodded his head and left Paul.

***

"Paul, please will you stay here tonight and cook for us today, I have told my grandma and your father that you're Philip, so please cook something so that they will believe it without having a doubts."

"Of course I will stay and cook, my hands are itching to cook something anyway."

Paul said, kissing Nora's forehead and going towards the kitchen.

Nora went to her room.

"I thought you will never come to your room again." Daisy teased Nora.

"I am so glad that Paul is actually Philip." Nora said with so much happiness.

"I told you to follow your heart."

"Yeah you did, thank you."

"Nora.... I have seen my twin sister."

The smile faded a little from Nora's face, "When?"

"She came with your twin today. They're controlling her and she needed my help to break the spells."

"They?"

"Your twin sister and that evil fairy I once told you about who came and decieved my twin sister."

"Am so sorry."

"Its okay, I came to tell you that I will be leaving to go and meet her in Casala, for me to break the spell, we will have to stay where the spell was casted."

"So you're leaving? How are you sure your twin is saying the truth?"

"Yes I will be leaving now Nora, and she is not lying. I will be back once I have settled things rightly." Daisy said and moved closer to her, she touches Nora's forehead and whispered some words. "I wish to stay but I can't. I will find you."

With that Daisy disappeared.

Nora kept pondering Daisy last word. What does she mean by 'I will Find you?'

Was she getting lost?.

****

8PM:

Paul has finished cooking and was setting the table to the surprise of the maids. He asked Jolie to call everyone down to the dinning table that food is ready.

Jolie left to do as she was told.

Kate was the first person to come to the dinning room, followed by Craig and Nora. Philly had sent a message that he's not hungry yet.

Paul and Nora sat beside themselves.

Tasting the food, Craig eyes widened in surprised as Kate eyes soon followed.

"Surprise dad? I still remember the cooking mom taught me back in the restaurant." Paul said with a smile.

"Its Philip." Craig said with tears as he stood up to walk over to where Paul and Nora sat.

But before he could move, Paul was suddenly in front of him, pushing him to the ground as the sword that was sent in Craig's way landed on the floor.

The Eight Ninja's came in and surrounded them. Only their eyes where seen, the rest of them were covered in blacks. Kate was filled with fear. As Nora quickly came to Paul and her grandma side.

Paul whistle softly and Max was by his side quickly. Paul picked up the fallen sword on the floor and pointed it to one of the Ninja's.

"I don't want to harm anyone of you, so if you still wish to live, leave this house this moment."

A clap was heard and they turned to look at who clapped.

Philly continue clapping as he sat down on the seat Paul had occupied, he stopped clapping and ate one spoon of the food. "Hmm, it tastes nice Paul, you're a great cook, I couldn't cook like you even if I try to."

"Tell your Ninja's to leave this minute or I will deal with them."

"You're not lifting a finger against my men Paul. You see in this world we are in, no one is to be trusted, you trust no one except yourself. I speak too much don't I?" Philly said with a smile. "Kill him."

Paul raised up the sword to attack any Ninja coming to him but was surprised when none of them moved.

He felt pains all over his body as Nora screamed out loudly.

He looked down at his body and saw Max sword coming out in front of him. The sword withdraw from his body and thrust into his body once again.

He turned to look at Max who started smirking at him removing his sword from his body. Max betrayed him.

"Why Max?" Paul managed to whispered.

"It is master to you fool!" Max shouted and thrust into Paul's stomach again for the third time.

Paul fell to his knees as Max removed his blood filled sword from his body, and cleaned the blood on Paul's clothes.

Nora was by Paul side quickly, hugging him and crying.

"The show is over now, Nora love, come here." Philly said.

"I am not going anywhere with you monster, I am staying with Paul." Nora told him in tears.

"How touching." Philly said, standing up to his feet and going to where Nora is. "He is going to die soon for loss of blood. Come with me and I will make sure you live like a princess." Philly said as he offered Nora his hand.

"I said I am not coming with you. Kill me too."

"I can't kill you, you're too precious to me."

"I hate you with every fiber in my body, you can't force me to love you. I will only love Philip."

"Enough of this talk, you're coming with me and that's it." Philly said and dragged Nora roughly away from Paul.

Nora punched and kick Philly with all her strength as he drag her away from a bleeding Paul.

Philly groaned in anger and gave Nora a slap which made her faint immediately.

He carried her in his arms gently. "Sorry my love for hurting you." He said stroking her face lovely. "Time to go." He announced, and pointed at Craig. "Bring him along." He faced Kate. "I am only letting you go because my morning sun is related to you."

Kate blinked her eyes multiple times when Philly disappeared right in front of her.

In Kate's eyes, she thinks he disappeared, but in Paul's eyes, they ran, only that Philly was faster.

One of the Ninja's hit Craig on his head hard, Craig fainted as they carried him and went out of the house. Max also did the same.

Paul fell down to the ground losing consciousness.

"Start the car fast, we are taking him to the hospital!" Kate screamed as the servents who were hiding came out. They joined hands in carrying Paul's to a car in the compound.

Kate quickly drove off to the hospital. "Don't give up Philip."

___

"Where are we master?" Paul asked his master as the old man took him in an underground chamber.

"There will be a time you will feel betrayed, when that day comes......then you will become one with the sword of Samurai."

"I don't understand you master. Who's going to betray me?"

"That you have to find out yourself. I am only telling you what I see in your palm. You trust too much." The master said and opened a room filled in darkness. He clapped his hand once and candles lit started burning, lighten up the dark chamber. In it were ten Samurai's statues and in their front was a drum. "I have not brought anyone here except you. Do not reveal this place to anybody." He said and Pointed at the statues. "The day you shall need some help, come here and beat this drum. It will breath life into the statues of The Immortals Samurai's, and they shall be at your command."

Chapter 28

'I still haven't figured out how to sit across from you, and not be madly in love with everything you do. Real love doesn't meet you at your best. It meets you in your mess because It's not being in love that makes me happy. It is the person that I am in love with that does.'

"But how did Lora get to meet the evil Sluagh fairy?" Daisy asked after a while of thought.

"She (Sluagh fairy) once told me that she wants to rule over the world. Using the hearts of those that are filled with evil. Using children."

"Why would she do that?" Daisy asked confused by that information.

"She said she wants the world to know about our existence, that we aren't a myth as they said in their stories. Lora seems to be the first person she would use. She met Lora when the little girl was five years old. You know for her to have access to the human world she must get the ancient book of Requiem. That was why she had came into our kingdom to get it at the first place. She made me believed her and I stole the Requiem book for her. She used it for Lora and asked her to use the person she's hates the most as an exchange for what she wants. She then used her twin sister, Nora. She brought me before Lora after I left the kingdom and made her control me. I didn't know there was a part of magic spells in the evil book of Requiem that they would use in controlling a fairy and other mystic things. I found out too late after she made Lora performed the magic spells on me, lying to me its for enhancing my powers, foolishly, I believed her. I then realized why you had kept the evil ancient book away from others...from me. I am sorry I didn't listen to you back then, I am sorry I caused the death of our people." Dementia explained sadly to her twin.

"The Requiem book is so dangerous that was why I had it hidden away from pry eyes. I read through the book and saw that if it falls into the wrong hands, then everyone, including the entire race of humans are doom. After everything that happened, what happened to the evil Sluagh fairy afterwards? I mean after she was able to make Lora control you?" Daisy demanded.

"After she handled me to Lora to be doing her biddings, she left. According to her, Lora isn't the only child she wants. We haven't heard from her for years now, but only Lora knows how you summon her. Please Daisy no matter how heartless I am, I can never hurt a human. I needed powers but not to use it against the humans, I was deceived, please free me, I am tried of been controlled." Dementia said almost in tears

Daisy flew so close to her and touched Dementia hair, truly she felt the dark magic. She wasn't lying.

"I know every details about the Requiem book. I have read the book once before, that was how I got to know how evil it was. I will free you but not now. The Requiem book also has the part where dark spells written on it, like the one casted on you, can be broken. Once you have your freedom, you are still going to pretend you're being under her control for a while. When ever that stupid Sluagh fairy comes, you will let me know." Daisy told her.

"I will do that for you." Dementia responded truthfully.

"This is your second chance to redeem yourself, don't make me hate you."

"I promise, I won't, I just want to be free like you." Dementia said happily.

"Good, you can go. I will call on you when it's time to break the spell." Daisy said and didn't wait for dementia to reply her.

Dee quickly vanished also to meet Lora.

Eric came back in 30 minutes time from where he had took the dead bodies of the Ninja's into the forest not far from Kate's and burn their bodies there.

"You left no traces?" Paul asked.

"No I didn't, everything looks clean. No one will ever suspect." Eric reply and sat down on his previous seat.

"Thank you my friend." Paul said with a smile and sat down beside them. "He will know that something is up and will find out why they weren't here."

"Are you afraid of him?" David asked.

"No, I am afraid of what he will do to Nora and her family. He sent Ninja's to come, for what? I don't know yet."

"Then stay here for the main time, am very sure Nora wouldn't mind at all." David suggested.

"And what about you and Eric? I can't leave you both alone when he is also after your life. I need to make an ungent call right now." Paul suddenly said and left his seat.

He dialed a number from his phone which was picked at the fourth ring.

"Hello who's this?" A gruff voice demanded immediatly at the other end.

"Hello Max, its Paul."

"Master?" Max said not sure he recognized that voice.

"Yes, but I have told you to call me Paul, anyway, I am calling you because I need your help." Paul said.

"Whatever it is bro, you can always count on me." Max told him

"I need you to come down to Floda quick, I will text you the house address. Once you're here I will tell you what to do."

"Okay bro, I will be expecting it." Max said.

"How are my brothers?" Paul asked.

"They are good. We are all doing fine bro." Max replied.

Paul end the call and sent the address to Max. Max was a samurai fighter like him, when his late master made him the new master, he gave the title to Max and asked him to take care of himself and his brothers (samurais). It has been long he contacted them. And today he did, but only to Max, he needed his help. Max will help him keep an eye on the Ninja's, while him will keep his eyes on everyone in the compound.

He return to his seat. "I called an old friend of mine, he will be coming soon."

"Who's this old friend of yours?" David demanded.

"A samurai fighter like I am."

When Mary and James saw that Nora was adamant to her decision, they left to Casala that same day.

"Won't you stay over at least for today before going back to Casala tomorrow?" Kate asked her son James.

"No mum, not today, I have a business I have to attend. We will come back again and this time around, spend more time with you and Nora." James answered and left together with a still fuming Lora.

Lora couldn't wait to get home to summon her evil fairy.

She didn't even notice Paul and David when she and her parents entered the car that they came with. Her thoughts were on seeing the Sluagh again.

They soon entered the plane going to Casala.

____

Kate and Craig excused themselves and left Nora and Philly alone. They wanted to discuss privately.

"Did you see the way Paul was staring at Nora?" Kate asked Craig as they were heading towards the second sitting room.

"Yes I did ma'am, it didn't escaped my eyes. Philip was acting strange back then, his eyes were staring at the wall clock every 10 minutes, it was as if he was expecting something, probably when he realized that it wasn't coming, he left us. He was also staring at the door where Paul and Nora was." Craig added.

"I like that Paul, he sometimes reminds of Philip."

"Yeah, I feel a connection between us when he came in."

____

"I don't like the way you were staring at Paul or whatever his name is." Philly began once he was sure they were alone.

"I don't know what you are saying Philip, what look was I given him?" Nora pretended to ask.

"That kind of look a lady normally gives to a guy she loves, the kind of love you give to you soulmate, that is the kind of love I am talking about. Ever since I have been here, you haven't even look at me the same way you did to that stupid guy today." Philly said a little bit angry.

"Hey point of correction, Paul isn't stupid, he is my very good friend. He saved my life, if he wasn't on the mountain that day, I would still be there, dead. So you can't just wake up one morning and tell me what to do with my life. I own myself and I will look at anyone the way I want too."

"No you don't own yourself, all of you is mine, don't you still get it? The very first day I saw you, marks the day you became mine, my property. You're mine forever Nora, I own you and if anyone trys to get in my way, he is good as a dead corpse."

Standing up angrily to her feet. "You're making me sick, I can't stay here and hear all these rubbish you just omitted out. I am going to my room to have my peace of mind." Nora said and made to walk away when Philly grab hold one of her hand which prevented her from going any further.

He stood up from his seat and draw Nora close to his body. "Why the sudden change of attitude towards me my dear? Is it because you saw him, is that why you are now disrespecting me?" Philly asked.

"I am not disrespecting you Philip, I just don't like the way you talk about Paul. He is my savior and nothing or nobody, not even you, can change that."

Philly smile as he raised up his other free hand to touch Nora's face, her lips, her neck and his hand started decending towards her breast slowly. He leaned his face and beathed in her scent, it was savory. "Nora, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. I will kill whosever that touches your body apart from me."

A wave of nausea engulfed her after Philip had said those words. No one is touching her body except Paul.

"Philip, what has come over you all of a sudden, you weren't like this before, you can't even hurt a fly talkless about holding my hands and touching me inappropriately, now get your hands off my bod--" She didn't get to finish her sentence when he forcefully pressed his manly lips on her soft lips, kissing her. His kiss was rough.

Her eyes opened wide then shut tightly as she tighten her lips. She tried to push him away but he stood his ground. The hand he had used in holding one of her hand was released and he fastly used it to hold her waist, bringing her much closer now. His other hand finally found it's target as he grab hold of one of her breast. He moaned into her mouth as he bit her bottom lips hard which prompted her to grasped. He slip his tongue into her mouth and moan the more.

Nora tried to push him off her but his Hercules like strength was an insurmountable grip.

Philly didn't hear the door opening nor the footsteps heading his way until he was roughly pushed back by Paul whose face was furious. He moved towards Philly in anger and nearly brought out his gun to shoot Philly but was stopped by Nora, who touched his shoulders. He turn to look at her and his anger melted away and was replaced by a softness he never knew he had. When it comes to Nora, nothing matters to him.

"Leave him Paul." Nora said and Paul turned back to face Philly.

Philly and Paul stare at each other dangerously.

"Who asked you to intrude our privacy idiot? Don't you know she is my wife to be. How dare you interrupt us?" Philly spoke slowly almost without moving his lips.

Nora went over to where Philly was and slapped his face hard.

Philly didn't flinched at all, rather he smile at her and touched his reddened side of face and brought it to his mouth, he kissed his fingers. "I like them rough, I will let this slide because of the love I have for you Nora, but don't take my silence as a sign of weakness." Philly said and left, he made sure to push Paul out of the way and was almost reaching the staircase when he stopped.

"And tell your friend never to try what he did to me again, if he doesn't want my trouble."

"I love looking for trouble my friend, just in case you don't know, I am a huge trouble maker." Paul told him.

Philly climbed the stairs without saying a word.

Chapter 27

'If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes, only then would you realize how special you are to me. I love that you are my person and I am yours, that whatever door we come to, we will open it together.'

Philly quickly brought out his phone and send a message to Leo that read:

Change of plan, come in as usual. Don't involve the Nine Fingers, tell them to wait and send some Ninja's here.

Switching off his phone after making sure the message was sent. He went back to the sitting room to meet them.

Craig was staring at him suspiciously as Philly seat beside him.

"What did you went to do inside?" Craig asked.

"Nothing father, I went to ease myself." Philly lied.

Lora who was still fuming in rage was staring evilly at the door where Paul and Nora would be at the moment.

"Grandma, how did Nora get to know Paul?" Lora asked jealousy as she couldn't hold it anymore.

"Yes ma'am, who is he and how come she knew him?" Philly quickly chip in as his eyes was also on the door.

Kate sent a smile directly at them and answered them, "He was the one who had saved Nora when she fell down the hill. She was pushed by someone, a person Paul saw and Nora knows. And when I find out who that person is, I will make sure he or she goes to jail."

"Someone pushed Nora off the hills? How did it happened?" Philly asked surprised.

"Yes, someone pushed her and she doesn't want to tell me who did it." Kate responded. "Someone into magic or so used David face to lure her and Craig out and bring her down the hill. The real David came back few minutes later and after he was told, he quickly ran to meet Craig, it was there they found out whosoever that took Nora was into magic. For days, we couldn't find my beloved granddaughter, Paul brought her here and told us what happened." Kate finished her explanation.

"If you will excuse me, I want to use the bathroom." Lora said standing up from her seat.

Kate called out Jolie and instructed her to take her granddaughter to the bathroom.

Showing her the bathroom.

"You can go." Lora said rudely at Jolie.

Once she was alone, she entered the bathroom and locked the door behind her.

"Dee, did you saw what happened today? My twin sister could talk and see now, what went wrong? I thought you said it is an everlasting curse she will carry till her last breath or is your stupid power fading?" Lora said to the empty bathroom.

"Yes I did said that, but I sense someone freed her from it." Dee voice came quitely.

"You sense someone free her? Did you hear yourself well? By now you should have told me who did that and not you sensing rubbish." Lora said in anger.

"I am sorry Lora, I will find out who ever it was that freed Nora." Dee voice came again.

"Better and I need to know whoever that is behind this very fast, my music career is at stake. And while you're at it, find a way to separate those two, I want you to cause conflict between them, don't make me involve Her." Lora said warned.

"That I can do for you Lor....." Dee started to say but stop mid way.

Lora blinked her eyes when she couldn't find her fairy again. "Dee? Dee?" She called out softly but no one answered her.

She find that strange and wondered what happened as she walked back to the sitting room.

Where had Dee gone too?

"Thanks grandma." Lora said and smile at Kate who nodded her head.

She was involving the other Fairy.

"Are you really Philip?" Nora asked as she slowly get up from her seat.

"Yes, and the guy in there isn't Philip?"

"If he isn't Philip so who is he then?"

"My twin brother so I heard, but don't worry, we are going to find out who truly he is and what he wants from you." Paul said, he couldn't tell her yet what Philly real is.

Nora hug him breathing in his scent. His clothes smelled like bubblegum mixed with cotton candy. "I am really glad you are Philip." She said and look up straight into his eyes. "You know... somehow, what I had said came to pass." Nora said smiling at him.

"And what could that be?" Paul asked slightly confused.

"I told you that the day I would see again, I would love to see you first, which happened the day I opened my eyes and saw you. I was blind then but could see now, my first glance on you took my breath away. I was pushed by my own twin sister twice, the first one blinded me and took away my voice, I was ten years old then. The second one which you saved me brought back all that was taken away from me." Nora said. "After I saw you and you brought me home, I couldn't get you off my mind and thoughts ever since that day, no matter how hard I tried too. When the fake Philip came, I didn't feel that connection I had with you to him, I tried but couldn't see myself loving him. I had my doubt about him when I asked him the meaning behind the necklace. Philip was the one who had given me the necklace, so he should have known about it more better than me, but he couldn't say anything about this necklace. He gave me pathetic excuses. But now, I have the prove right in front of me." Nora said and slowly raised her hands to caress his face. He was dishy handsome and all hers. "I once said this word to you through my sign language, but now, I will say with my mouth. I love you Philip, you were my very first friend that loves me, despite my problems. You are my best friend, my human diary and my other half. You mean the world to me and I love you. I know one day, you will surely remember everything."

Paul smile and embrace Nora, resting his head on hers.

"The first day I set my eyes on you as Paul Mirror was when I went to Casala for a business. I saw you on the airplane and later on a magazine front paper. I didn't know it was love then, then I saw you again when Lora had pushed. When you told me about how my cooking has a resemblance to Philip's own, I was jealous of him, but now I am not, because I am the Philip. Nora when I look at you, I see the rest of my life in front of my eyes. I want to spend every day of my life with you. Even if I am not Philip, I would still love you. When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. I love you so much Nora."

"Now I remembered the very word a friend of mine had told me before, my greatest day is yet to come and I feel it right now. One day I shall introduce you to her. Thank you for loving me."

"No I should be the one thanking you for waiting for me." Paul said. "Let me take you back in there before they will think I have kidnapped you."

"If you are my kidnapper, I wouldn't mind at all."

They both laughed at that.

"One more thing Nora, do not tell anyone about our discussion....yet. most especially when that guy who claims to be Philip is there. I am Paul. Come on let's go in."

As he took hold of Nora's hand gently in his, he saw a fast movement from the fence which didn't escaped his sharp eyes.

He didn't say anything, he opened the door for Nora to enter first before him. He removed his hand from hers and told her. "We shouldn't make it obvious first."

Entering the sitting room, all eyes were on them. Nora went back to her seat.

"Sorry ma'am for keeping her away from this meeting." Paul said to Kate.

"No problem son."

"Well I will take my leave now, it was nice seeing you all here." Paul said, turn and pretended to walk away.

Nora voice halted him. "Paul don't go yet, stay a little while longer," Nora said and look at Lora this time. "I still need more evidence against whoever that pushed me."

Paul smiled. "No problem Nora, I will be outside waiting for you." Paul said and left.

_____

He went over to where David and Eric was. "Some Ninja's are in this compound, stay here and watch out for the gate, I am going to deal with them." Paul told them.

He left and started killing all the Ninja's one after the other, no one stood a chance against a samurai. He made sure no sound was heard. His attack came as a surprise to them as they all awaits their master order.

And for once he was truly grateful to Robert Mirror.

When he was sure he had killed all the Ninja's in their hidden places, he went to meet Eric and told him to take care of the dead bodies at the back of the house where he had pile them up.

"Burn them up."

______

Mary and James begged Nora to forgive them but Nora couldn't.

Philly once again excused himself and went up to his room. He put on his phone and called Leo.

"Where are they?" He said slowly as soon as Leo picked it.

"They should have been there since two hours ago. Let me call them right away master." Leo said and waited for Philly to end the call before he put a call across one of the Ninja's.

Switch off.

He tried again.

Switch off.

He tried all the Ninja's numbers he had send to Kate's house, but none of them was going through. They were all switch off.

He quickly called Philly.

"Master, none of their numbers are going through. I think something went wrong somewhere."

"Find out the fault immediatly."

"Yes master, but shouldn't I send the Nine Fingers right now while I carry out my investigation."

"No, not yet, let's find out what happened before I will know what to do." Philly ended the call and went back to the sitting room.

_____

"Look who's here, long time no see sister." Daisy said.

Dee a tiny fairy who has white hair was surprised when she saw her twin. "Daisy, is that you?"

"Yes its me. Just like you had left the kingdom, so I did. I was right after all, it was you who have been helping Lora, but guess what, I also helped Nora."

"So you were the one who had pulled me away from Lora and brought me here with your magic?"

"Yes I did. You betrayed me Dementia, you betrayed our people. For this will I will never forgive you."

"Daisy, all what I did wasn't intentional, I am being controlled by the Sluagh fairy. She lied to me Daisy, and I foolishly believed her." Dementia said.

"Don't you dare lie to me Dementia, you killed our people for a stupid powers and I killed the evil Sluagh fairy before your very eyes, then you flee and locked me in there for eternity, I was only freed by Nora and like you, I also made a huge sacrifice which brought me to this world. So stop lying Dementia."

"I am saying the truth, the Sluagh fairy killed our people and I pretended to be the one who did it, she make it look as if it was me. I was blinded by greed for power. And rather than giving me the powers, she started controlling me. It is only when I am neared Lora I won't be controlled. The Sluagh fairy you had killed isn't the real one, that was her clone. She is alive Daisy and Lora has decided to bring her into this." Dementia said in all honesty to her twin. "Help me, free me please, I don't want any powers again, I want to be free, only you can stop her Daisy."

"If what you said is true, then let that evil Sluagh fairy come, she will meet her very match."

Chapter 26

'I am totally completely eye popping seriously groundbreaking passionately deliciously in love with you, I remember the first day I ever looking into your eyes and felt my entire world flip.'

Philly gave a wicked laugh at that thought.

"And after forcing her to come with me, you can kill everybody in here." Philly added.

Footsteps were heard heading towards the room. The Ninja's quickly blend with the darkness, becoming one with it.

A knock was heard.

"Philip are you okay?" Kate voice was heard behind the close door.

"Yes ma'am." Philly replied.

"Okay, I thought I heard voices in there." Kate said.

"Only me ma'am." Philly said opening the door a little. "There is no one here."

"Alright then, good night Philip." She added and left for her room.

Closing the door firmly behind him he turned and saw his Ninja's back to where they had stood before. "Let's call it a night my comrades, tomorrow is our day."

Nodding their head, they left through the window as quickly as they had came.

Philly called Leo who picked it immediately as if he was expecting his call.

"Have you find out who that guy is?"

"Not yet master, though I have some clue, but I want to be very sure its him." Leo answered.

"Good, keep me informed." Philly said and end up the call.

He smiled to himself, before the end of tomorrow Nora will become his.

****

Valten:

"That's no problem, you are Paul and Philip." David said.

Paul smiled and excused himself, he left to make a call.

Paul put a call across to his father who picked at the fourth ring.

"Hello son, where have you been?" Robert Mirror demanded immediatly as soon as he picked the call.

"No where father, I have been moving all over the place looking for answers." Paul replied.

"Answers for what son?" Robert asked confusedly.

"We have a lot to discuss father but not on phone. I will come early in the morning so that we can discuss."

"Okay son, I will be expecting you. Take care."

"You too father."

He ended the call and went back to the sitting room.

"The rooms upstairs are vacant, you can choose any one of them." Paul told them. "I will be outside, thinking." He told them and went outside.

Going their separate rooms, David called his father.

"Where have you been David, I thought you were coming back today, what happened?" Mark asked immediatly.

"Dad, am sorry for not calling you earlier even when Paul told me to call you. I decided to call..." He got interrupted by his father.

"Did you say Paul? As in Paul Mirror?"

"Yes dad."

"Have I not warned you to stay away from him... from his family? Paul is a Mafia that kills without any thoughts, he is not human."

"Dad, Paul saved my life from two assassin's today, so you should be greatful to him. If he wasn't there, your only son would have been dead."

"Assassin's?"

"Yes, but I am okay, am with Paul so don't worry, I am save."

"Okay, tell Paul how thankful I am."

"I will tell him dad. I just call for you to know am okay."

"Okay son, good night, see you soon."

****

6AM:

Paul met his father in the sitting room.

"What do you want to discuss with me son?" Robert asked when Paul sit down facing him.

"I talked to doctor Fey yesterday."

"So? Are you ill?."

"No, I am perfectly okay Dad, he told me a lot of things. One, I am not really Paul Mirror, right dad?"

"What has come over you son, are you sure you're alright?"

"Dad, there is no need for you to pretend, doctor Fey spill everything, and I mean everything. I just want to thank you for saving me, if you didn't, I won't be here talking to you, for that I forgive you." Paul told him and stood up to leave. "I have something important that I want to take care of first, I will come back when everything is settled." With that, he left without looking back.

*****

Floda:

Mary, James and Lora alight from the car Kate had sent to pick them up at the airport.

The maids welcomed them and took whatever that was with them inside the house.

One of the maids took their visitors to the sitting room and gesture for them to sit down with her hand. Mary and James quickly sit down.

"I hope this sofa are neat." Lora said to the maid.

"Yes madam." Jolie responded.

"Good." Lora said and sit down elegantly crossing her legs. "Get me a bottle of chilled champagne with a glass cup." She added. "And don't delay me."

Lora looked beautiful in her dress, the dress covers just one of her shoulders, leaves the other uncovered and flows down into a simple round neckline. It's a tight fit which gives the dress a relaxed, yet graceful look. Her arms have been covered only halfway down. The sleeves broaden towards the bottom and playfully accentuate her skin. Her makeup added more to her beauty.

Jolie nodded her head and left.

"Lora, we are not In Casala and she is one of our maids, be mindful of how you talk to her." James said to her.

"Oh dad please, this is my grandma house, and I can do whatsoever I want to do with the maids."

Jolie soon returned and place the designer tray on the glass table, opened it and poured the champagne into the glass and gave it to Lora.

"You can go now." Lora ordered with a wave of her hand at Jolie.

Kate came out and welcomed them warmly. She went over to meet Lora who stood up to hug her briefly.

"Lora, its been ages we last saw, look at how grown-up you have become." Kate said and they both laughed. "I do buy your tracks, your music are always awesome."

"Where is Nora, I thought she will come down with you since she's you know..... blind." Lora said sitting back.

"Lora! Mind your language." Mary said.

Flipping her hair back dramatically she looked at her mother. "But it is true, she's blind."

Kate smiled at that but didn't say anything, she brought out her phone and dialed a number which was pick immediately. "Nora dear, they are here." Kate said and hang up the call. "She is coming." She told them.

"Mom how have you been?" James asked.

"Well as you can see, I am fine." Kate answered.

"We heard that Ora is Nora, is that true?" James asked his mother.

"Who ever that gave you that information is absolutely right, she is indeed Ora." Kate confirmed to her son.

"Wow, I would never have taught in a million years that Nora is Ora the ballet dancer." James said with a smile.

The sound of heel was heard from the staircase, everyone turned to look at who was coming.

Everyone except Kate was flabbergasted when they saw Nora. What even put them in more shock and left their mouths wide open was when they saw her coming down the stairs without any help.

She was dressed simply with a red long gown that brought out all her curves, beside her was Philly who was equally dress with a simple T-shirt and short. He had woken up to hear of their visit and wasn't happy, their coming here wasn't among his plans, but that won't stop him from carrying out his plan.

Lora had to clean her eyes twice to be sure what she was seeing was real.

Nora went over to where Kate was and sat beside her. Craig who just came in went to sit down on the empty sofa together with Philly.

"She can see? But how?" Mary asked the question on their minds.

"Well the universe decided to return what they took from her." Kate answered her.

"I am here, why do you want to see me?" Nora demanded.

"Is that how to talk to your parents you haven't heard from for years." James stated.

"Excuse me James, whose parents are you talking about? The ones who rejected me when I needed them the most or the ones who stood by me all through my trials? The only person who I can call my mother is my grandma who was with me all through the years."

"We are really sorry Nora." James apologize.

"Sorry? Did you just say sorry? Sorry can not bring back the years I spent without you guys, sorry can not bring back what you took away from me. You lied to the whole world that I was dead, well go and tell your dead daughter who died a long time ago that sorry of yours because I, who is Ora is not your daughter."

"You have the right to be angry at us Nora, but please all we ask, is a second chance from you."

"That chance was lost long ago when you both tossed me one side of the lane and carried on with my twin...." Nora got interrupted by the doorbell.

Craig stood up and went to check who's there, opening it and stepping in was Paul Mirror.

FLASHBACK:

David, Eric and Paul entered Paul's private jet.

Arriving at Floda, they decided to take a taxi to Ora's residence.

They paid the taxi man once he dropped them off the gate of Kate's and drove off.

They knocked on it.

"Look guys, you won't follow me In. The reasons are, whoever that is pretending to be Philip did not know I have Eric and you, so you will both stay in the compound, once you noticed any strange movement, David, alert me." Paul had told them before the gate was open. The gateman recognized David and opened the gate for them to enter.

Paul went to ring the doorbell as David and Eric went to sit down with the gateman.

END OF FLASHBACK:

Nora left all she was saying when she saw who had entered, Lora too was equally surprised. As Nora stood up her heart raced, like a runaway train, going faster and faster. She forget everything around her and focused only on Paul who also has been staring at her, it looks like they were both in a trance.

Lora had stood up at the same time with Nora. Lora quickly walk over to where Paul is.

"Darling you didn't tell me you were coming." Lora said sweetly as she opens her hand to hug Paul.

The look Paul sent in her way halted her steps immediately, she quickly brought down her hands and went back to her sit really embarrassed.

She was only feeling embarrassed because Nora had witness what happened, in fact everyone in here.

His eyes slowly swept the sitting room and rested on Philly who is staring at him dangerously. Paul knew immediatly this guy was the one Eric had talked about, the Ninja master. He send a smirked directly to him before returning his gaze back to Nora.

If truly he was Philip, Nora would feel the pull between them. Looking at her brought back the image of her dancing with the guy, but this time around, he saw his face.

"Good morning everyone, sorry if I am interrupting this meeting but I need to speak with Ora, please it's urgent." Paul said still looking at Nora.

"Grandma, please exuse me." Nora didn't know when she said that, but she found herself walking towards him.

The way his eyes roamed slowly all over her body gladdens her heart. She made sure she twisted her waist. She was in love with this stranger that took away her heart the first time she had opened her eyes at the hospital. Once she reached him, they continue staring at each other which enraged Philly. If looks could kill, this guy looking at his Nora like that would be buried 12 feet down with his body dismembered.

Grabbing one of her hand, he took her outside.

Nora sit down on the sofa which she had sat on years ago when Philip had confessed his feelings.

"Let me start by saying you look beautiful in that dress."

Nora blush at the complement. "Thanks."

"Ora, I know your name is Nora, this might sound stupid but I just found out I am Philip."

Nora laughed at that.

"I know you won't believe me, I also haven't gotten my lost memories back, but you remembered my cooking you said reminded you of Philip, David also said that when I cooked for him. Who ever is that with you claiming to be Philip isn't, because I am Philip."

"You are confusing yourself Paul, how can you be Philip when you are Paul Mirror." Nora said.

"Yes I am Paul Mirror, and I am also Philip. They changed my face to him. See this." Paul said and raised up his shirt a little bit which revealed his ugly scars. "I got it from the plane which crashed in Valten."

"I am now confused, he also has scars too Paul, which means one of you is lying."

"What can I do to make you believe that I am truly Philip?"

Nora brought out the necklace she always wore that hung around her neck. "Do you know the meaning of this necklace?"

Paul looked at it and something clicked in his head. "Is that not the symbol of Mamaquilla?"

Shocked to her bone Nora nodded her head.

"Who ever that wore it has the blessings of the goddess of love. I think....I think..." A image suddenly came up in his head. "I think I gave it to you after we had dance, the day I saw you danced for the first time in your room."

Nora had no doubt now, this handsome guy that had stolen her heart is truly Philip.

Philip her true love who is standing before her now has a different face.

_____

Philly was so livid in anger, he has the urge to break something.... probably that stranger who just came and took Nora away, and to top it all, Kate didn't say a word.

He quickly excused himself to his room to think of how to get rid of this sudden new threat.

This new stupid handsome stranger has to die.

Chapter 25

'The best love is the kind that awakens the soul; that makes us reach for more, that plants the fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. That’s what I hope to give you forever.'

Paul was shocked when he heard those words from Fey. If he wasn't the real Paul Mirror then who is he? How come did he became Paul Mirror?

"I knew it." David said immediately almost jumping in the air in joy, soon the smile faded as he stare hard on doctor Fey. "Continue Fey or did we ask you to stop?"

"An old man had brought you..." Fey said pointing at Paul with a shaking hand. "...in, he said he saw you badly burnt, he thought you had died but was surprised when he got close that you were still breathing. He paid some deposit and stopped coming after sometime when he couldn't keep on with the bills, you were still in coma. We thought not giving you any meditation would allow you die quickly so that we can bury you." Fey said lowly but audible enough for them to hear him. "Weeks later, Robert Mirror came with his dying son who was admitted in my hospital, but Paul lost the battle after few days and gave up. He died and I told Robert of his son death, he cried and went to see his late son body for the last time, and that was when he saw you. You and Paul were in the same ward because we thought you will give up soon. You had the same body build of his late son and height, so he pleaded with me to change your face to his late son's own after paying me a huge sum of money. I did that and I was 100% sure you would wake up and loss your memories, which you did. I am sorry, I only did that because of money and because Robert is my best friend." Doctor Fey finally said with tears in his eyes, he quickly cleaned his eyes.

"So who am I if I am not Paul Mirror then?" Paul asked.

"We don't know that either, the old man just brought you here." Fey answered.

"Do you know this old man, I mean where he lives?" David demanded. "We need to ask him some questions and reward him for saving him." He added.

"Yes I do know him, he was a beggar, but he is dead." Fey replied.

"Dead? What do you mean?" Paul asked.

"Yes, he died two years ago from a sickness." Fey confirmed.

"Oh no, he would have been the only one to know where he had picked me up from." Paul said in sadness. He wouldn't know who he was.

"Before I forget, the day he had brought you here was the day the plane going to Balsa crashed, so I think you fell off from the plane and he saw you, picked you and brought you here." Fey said.

"That was also the same day my best friend, Philip, entered the plane that crashed, let it be what I am thinking." David said all of suddenly and touched Paul's shoulder. "Your are not my cousin Paul but Philip my best friend, the food gave it away." David said with a smile. "Your name is Philip."

"Then why can't I remember anything? Though I recently saw someone dancing with Ora in my head." Paul said.

"You know Ora?" David asked.

"Yes, she was the one who had told me my food tastes just like Philip's."

David eyes widened as he remembered something. "Ora might be in serious trouble."

"Why do you say so?" Paul asked quickly concern about Ora.

"You remembered the girl I once told you who is a ballet dancer and who wouldn't return my love?" David asked as Paul nodded his head. "Ora is the girl, I went to her house earlier today and she told me that Philip is back." David explained. "You're Philip which I am sure, then who is with her lying to her he's Philip?"

"We are not having this conversation here, let's go home." Philip said and stood up from his sit, he made as if to go and stop, facing Doctor Fey's again. "Do not tell Robert about this if you still want to live." Philip added with a warning tone.

"I won't breath a word to anyone Paipt." Doctor Fey said in a scary voice.

"Good Fey, you never saw me neither did we have any conversation." Philip said, closing up his box and left together with David and Eric.

____

He drove them to his secret hideout (penthouse), where he had took Nora too.

Coming out from the car, the guards stationed there greeted them and they responded to their greetings. David was surprised when he saw the penthouse and was even speechless when he was told Robert didn't know anything about it.

Once inside and sitting comfortably Eric was the first person to speak.

"Did you remember what I told you? About my former master?" Eric asked.

Philip remembered what Eric had told him back then in the room.

"You mean the guy that is claiming to be me to Ora is actually your master?"

"Yes, and as we are speaking, he plans on having the dancer all to himself, that was why he had killed you thinking you would die in the plane crash." Eric says the little he knew.

"What's going on Philip, whose master is he talking about?" David asked totally confused.

"The two guys who had planned to killed you were sent by his former master." Paul explained. "Now I understand why he wants you dead, he kills whoever that stands between him and Ora." He said after a while.

"Oh I see.... He is in for a big surprise then because one, he doesn't know Philip is actually alive and two, you're stronger now and not like the old Philip he once knew." David said sending a smile towards his cousin and Eric.

"I still haven't gotten my memories back, but we are going to Floda tomorrow. And please even though facts has said it all that I am actually Philip, I will still like to be called Paul." He told them.

****

Floda:

"I did?" Philly said in a surprise tone.

"Yeah you did, don't tell me you forgot about the meaning behind the necklace also?" Nora said and stopped her dance mid-way, floding her hands beneath her breast and looking up at him strangely. Something doesn't feel right. The feeling was getting strong, this.....this isn't her Philip.

"You know when I was with the rebels I was made to do a lot of things, and I probably forgot what we had shared together babe." Philly said trying to convince her, why didn't he dig into his twin brother past he had with Nora before pretending to be him? It has escaped his mind. He wasn't the type that adores necklaces, he remembered the necklace Nora was talking about. Philip had once showed him and even told him what the necklace signified but he wasn't paying any attention that day. He wished he had, now Nora will start having doubts about him, he just hope the lie he said was believable enough.

"Oh, I see." Nora said after a while trying to get some things in her head. Faking a yawn while trying to cover her mouth to make it look real. "I am tried dear, I need to get some sleep, it's." Looking at the wall clock. "Almost 10. Good night my love." Nora added before planting a kiss on his cheek and left for her room.

Philly smiled at her as he stare lustful at her, especially her backside.

All that will soon be his. His to touch, his to smooch. He thought as he licked his lips imaging all various of sex stlye he was going to have with Nora. He was going to make Nora scream out his name in pure ecstasy, technically Philip's name and not his. Just looking at her turns him on. He will use all he got to woo Nora to his bed and if she didn't agree, only the universe knows what he will do to her then.

_____

The house was quite when Nora went out of Philip's room. She quitely entered her room and almost jumped out of her skin when she saw her grandmother sitting down on her bed, looking at her.

Touching her heart that was beating fast, "Grandma you scared me half to death."

"Well I don't see you dying." Kate said laughing at her grand daughters face.

"You should have told me you were coming." Nora said and went to sit down on the bed.

"When I know you are with Philip... No, I don't want to spoil your dance."

"How did you know I danced with him?" Nora asked blushing.

"Well let just say that your grandma turned into a spy overnight. Actually I went to spy on Philip when I saw you both dancing, so I decided to wait for you here." Kate answered with a smile.

"Did you just say spy?"

"Yes, something isn't right here Nora, don't be so blind. Philip photos got missing, Diego died mysteriously and Philip showed up all of a sudden, doesn't it look suspicious to you?"

"I thought I was the only one who had noticed. He gave me this necklace and he tells me he didn't remember. Something is wrong with him."

"Yes, well apart from spying on Philip I came here to tell you something, I don't know how you might take it."

"You want to tell me you love someone?"

"No, James called me some hours ago. He, Mary and Lora are coming here tomorrow."

"What? Why?"

"He said it was Lora decision, and since they haven't seen you for a long time they will use this opportunity to come. I just came to let you know so that you will get prepared for Lora." Kate said and kissed her forehead in a tenderly way. "Good night my dear." With that she left the room.

Why is Lora coming here after so many years? How did she even know that she's here? What does she want again?

This won't be like before, she can now see and talk and that will shock Lora greatly.

Even though she wants to use her stupt dark magic on her again, Daisy is here to protect her from any harm.

****

12PM:

Eight shadows were seen moving very fast as they climbed and entered the window Philly had opened down for them.

The room was pitch dark.

The Eight strongest Ninja of Nine finget all came out from the shadows and kneel before Philly who stood before them.

"Things isn't going according to what I planned." Philly began. "They are getting smarter everyday especially my father, so I will be leaving tomorrow night."

"Then let's kill him and the old lady tonight master." One of the Ninja's suggested.

"No, don't kill them yet, killing them would arouse suspicious... I have a better plan."

"And what can that be master?" A second person asked.

"What else if not to take Nora with me tomorrow night, and if she refuses, she won't like the other side of me."

Chapter 24

'What comes easy won’t last long, and what lasts long won’t come easy, if everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow. Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.'

7PM:

Philly phone vibrated once more and he picked it without checking the caller, he knew who was calling.

"Yes Leo, what's the situation at hand?" Philly asked lowly.

"Isaac died before I could get to him master." Leo answered.

'Shit! Then I won't know who did it." Philip said pissed off.

"Master, their killings looks exactly like that of Ivan's killer." Leo said.

"That means Ivan, Van and Isaac was killed by one person?" Philly queried.

"Yes master." Leo reply.

"Hmm, then look for whosoever the killer is and alert me, by the way, Isaac said David and the killer left together, look for the second guy....he is the killer. To get him, look for David." Philly tells him. "Infrom the remaining Nine Fingers to meet me in Kate's house tonight." He added and cut the call before Leo would respond.

Who is the killer?

Philly thought to himself.

Eric won't survive from the wounds Ivan had given to him. According to Leo, he couldn't find Eric's body but the forest was filled with Eric's blood and Ivan dead body, that wasn't his concern. If this killer can kill his three men, that means he knows him. How can he kill Ivan in Floda and then kill Isaac and Van in Valten, does it mean he lives here and there? Had this killer knows his plans?

Various types of thoughts runs through the mind of Philly as he thought about the killer killing off his men one after the other.

"He won't stop me, I will kill whoever that stands between me and Nora." He said in determination.

He went to take his bath and changed the clothes he was putting on.

_____

"Oh I see, if you really miss him then why don't you call him or look for him?" Daisy asked.

"That's it Daisy, I forgot to ask for his number or his house address. You got to help me in this, help me Daisy, I need his number. Hearing his voice once again will gladly my heart." Nora said in a sad tone.

She feel this void of a hole in her that can be only fixed by Paul.

But why is she thinking of Paul when Philip is right here with her.

Does it mean she is falling out of love? No this can't be happening. After waiting for so long for Philip to come and he came, she couldn't think of Philip anymore, infact she finds it very difficult not to think of Paul.

Pretending to be happy in front of Philip is Killing her slowly. How would she tell Philip that someone she met once is now in her head, she doesn't want to hurt his feelings.

"I will see what I can do." Daisy announced cutting her off from her thoughts.

"Do you think what I am doing is right? I mean, allowing my heart to go for Paul instead of Philip." Nora said suddenly feeling guilty.

"I have told you to follow your heart Nora, everything will be fine." Daisy said.

"What's love Daisy, I mean I know what is love, but what's love to you?"

"Love, sometimes it's hard to say, but love is Kind, love is patience, love is happiness and love is Peace of Mind. If you have no feelings for Philip tell him and stop faking your love around him, that is all I can say Nora." Daisy responded and disappeared.

"Thanks, I know I will always count on you." Nora said softly to the empty room.

Maybe spending time with Philip would help remove her mind from Paul, she hope so.

She quickly took her bath, changed into her night clothes and left for Philip's room. This time, she brought out her necklace for the world to see, after all Philip is back.

She entered without knocking and saw Philly just coming out from the bathroom absolutely naked.

She quickly closed her eyes and was blushing, "Sorry I barged in without knocking, I swear I didn't know you will be taking your bath or being naked." Nora said in a shy voice still closing her eyes. What her eyes just saw was still in her head. He looked handsome even with his scars.

"Open your eyes love." Philly voice, very close to her face said.

Nora open her eyes slowly and saw that Philip was standing in front of her. She noticed he was fully dressed.

How was he able to do that without her hearing his footsteps?

As she glanced his body again, she remembered how he had looked like with his naked body. Before she could withdraw her mind from its far places, his arms were around her waist as he pulled her towards his body. She met his gaze and then watched as his eyes flickered from her eyes down to her lips, and back up again. He leaned until their noses were nearly touching.

As he leaned in, her heart wasn't racing as it should have.

Her tongue darted out to wet her lips nervously, and Philly stared at it until it retreated, and then he stared at the wetness left behind. It was almost hypnotizing, that faint glistening sheen across Nora's lips. Like a siren song, one he was helpless to resist. He closed the gap remaining and kissed her.

Nora finds out she couldn't return the kiss as the image of Paul kept flashing through her mind, she felt like she was betraying him, she slightly pushed off Philip from her. "I was feeling bored and I decided to come here." She said removing his hands from her waist and going to stand in the middle of the room, she twisted her waist around in a seductive way and faced Philip. "It has been long I have danced my love, come..." She said stretching out her hand towards him. "...and dance with me."

"I don't know how to dance Nora, beside there is no music."

"You said the same thing when I asked you to dance with me years ago, and as for the music, have you forgotten we danced without it?"

"I remembered my love." Philly answered grabbing hold of her hand.

They started dancing with no music like they once did years ago.

Still, Nora felt this wasn't right. Once again, she saw herself dancing with Paul instead and was smiling at him. it all looked real as if he was the one dancing with her instead of Philip. It was then she realized she was falling in love with her savior, Paul.

She was in Love with Paul and not Philip.

"Your necklace is beautiful." Philly spoke after a while bringing her out of her thoughts.

"You gave it to me Philip, have you forgotten about it also? The necklace stand as our promise of love for each other."

****

Valten:

They had hurriedly eaten their food before they entered the white SUV Jeep, "Stay in the car I am coming." Paul told them and went inside, he soon came out with a black box and enter the driver sit. Paul drove them towards the hospital. He still remembered his way there.

Parking his car, they got down and went to the nurse in the reception room. They quickly recognized Paul.

"Is Doctor Fey around?" Paul asked immediately holding the box with his left hand as he uses his right to bring out his phone, checking the time.

"Yes sir, he is around." One of the nurses answer seductively.

Without saying anything else, they left the reception room and head towards Fey's office. He pocketed his phone and knocked on the door once, he opened it without waiting for a reply.

Doctor Fey a man in his early sixties was surprised and happy when he saw Paul and two guys entering his office.

"Hello Paul, long time no see." Doctor Fey said with a smile. "How is your father?"

"My father is fine Doc but I am not here for that." Paul answered sitting down.

"Okay, what then can I do for you?" Fey asked going serious and pointed at David and Eric. "Are your friends here for check-up? Are they sick or suffering from a strange illness?"

"It's not about them doc but about me." Paul said and place his box on Fey's table.

"What is it Paul?" Fey demanded.

"My cousin brother here." Paul began pointing at David, "Said he was with me when I had that accident and he was the one who had called my father to the accident scene."

"Okay....that happened a long time ago Paul, your father brought you here and we attended to you, saving your life." Fey said.

"I see, when he came here with me, how bad was I then?" Paul asked.

"Very bad, you are lucky you came out alive. When he brought you here, you were barely alive not only that, you were badly burnt beyo...."

He was cut off by David.

"You are lying doctor Fey, Paul wasn't badly burnt as you had claimed and you know it. Stop lying to us old fool."

"Look here David or whatever your name is, I don't know what you're talking about. His father came here with him and he was badly burnt, which was why he had so many ugly scars in his body." Fey lied. "And if you don't mind the way you talk to me, I will be forced to walk you out of here." He added looking at David.

"Fey." Paul spoke after a minute surprising the doctor for calling out his name. "David... isn't lying, the first day that I had cooked, my father was surprised, even the servants were not left out. I heard them whispering about me and my cooking, but I over looked it and didn't think of their words till today. Some days ago, I had cooked for a friend of mine, and she told me the food reminded her of someone who was dear to her, and today, my cousin made mention of that name and still asked me the same question she asked me that night." Paul told Fey and opened the box in front of them. He turned it over to Fey's direction.

Various types of sharp weapons were displayed and Fey swallowed hard.

"I will only ask this question once, if you feel like you wouldn't answer, pick a weapon inside this box and you shall die by it before the end of the day. Doctor Fey: the world most famous surgeon died by accident after he fell off from his building, he shall be greatly missed. That shall be the headline news tomorrow. You only have two children, right? Aged, 22 and 20 respectively, once you're gone I will take care of them and burn down everything you owned, starting from this very hospital. But, saying the truth, I won't harm you. Now, the question is....Am I Paul Mirror or not? Think careful before you answer." Paul spoke slowly.

Fey suddenly cleaned the sweats from his forehead. He doesn't want to lose his life yet, he knows what Robert has turned Paul into, so he has to say the truth.

"Let me start from the beginning." Fey said at last. "You're not Paul Mirror, the real Paul Mirror is dead."

Chapter 23

'Every truth passes through three stages before it is recognized. In the first, it is ridiculed. In the second, it is opposed. In the third, it is regarded as self evident. Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.'

"We shouldn't judge him yet Craig. But if you're really serious about what you just said, then you have to investigate." Kate spoke after a while.

"I will ma'am." Craig responded.

Philly tiptoe back to his room and started thinking of a plan to get Craig out of the picture, then later on Kate.

He was still cleverly thinking about his new plan when his phone started vibrating in his pocket. He had earlier put his phone on silence.

Bringing out his phone from his pocket, he picked the call.

"What!?" He shouted not too loudly at the caller.

"We couldn't kill him master, Van is dead and he left me bleeding."

"What do you mean that he left you bleeding? Explain more fool." Philly ordered.

"The David you asked us to follow and kill didn't came alone, he tricked us and made us followed him into a deserted compound where the other guy was waiting. It was a surprise attack."

"So you mean that David has someone who fought with you and Van, two Ninja's?"

"Yes master, they even left together."

"You said you are in a deserted place?" Philly asked.

"Yes master." He responded and went on to describe the place for him.

"Stay there, Leo will come there." With that Philly end the call and put a call across Leo, his right-hand man.

"Yes master." A deep baritone voice answered at the other end.

"Leo, Van is dead, and I want you to go to Valten right now to get some information about the guy they had encountered from Isaac, after which you kill him. When coming, come with the remaining Nine Fingers." Philly said and ended the call.

Killing Craig will be so easy.

****

Valten:

Paul drove into his compound and alight from it together with David after parking the Jeep in his car garage.

They went inside and saw Robert reading from a newspaper. He looked up when they walk in.

"Is that David?" Robert asked as he stood up from his chair and open his arms wide for David.

David smile and went to hug him, "Yes uncle. Its me."

"Wow, it's been long I last saw you, how is your father my brother?"

"He is fine uncle."

"You didn't even inform me that you were coming, I could have asked the servents to prepare something nice for you, but don't worry Paul my son will cook his delicious delicacy for you. Once again David, you're highly welcome." Robert said and excused himself from them heading towards the second sitting room.

David turned to regard Paul slowly.

"What?" Paul asked when he saw the way David was looking at him.

"You now cook?" David asked unbelievable at him.

"Yes David, I now cook, but only for my dad and now you." Paul answered with a smile as he gestured with his head for David to follow him.

"Are you really serious?" David asked not getting it.

"Yes, why are you acting as if you don't know that I can cook?"

"You can't cook Paul, in fact you hate cooking, you detest going inside the kitchen to cook, I would have known if you cook."

"Well, I can't remember that part David," Paul said as they approach a room. "This is where you will be staying for the meantime, meanwhile call your dad and tell him the reason you won't be coming back anytime soon." Paul added as he opened the room for his nephew to enter.

"Thank you." With that David entered the room.

Paul left him and walk towards another door, opened it and enter, he noticed that Eric was finally awake staring at him with shaking eyes.

He had woken up 2 hours earlier, slowly rising from the depths of oblivion, feeling returning to fingers and toes, he grunted, rolled over and curled up more tightly, hugging his knees between his arms. He couldn't feel any pain. Something about the atmosphere surrounding him didn't seem right, so cautiously opening one eye he quickly scanned the room.

Awareness came in a flash, this was not within his comfort zone, this was strange and in some ways frightening. What had happened - how had he got here - where was here - the last he remembered was thanking his savior before he died, how come he was still breathing... ? So many thoughts scrambled themselves to the surface in panic that a thin film of perspiration began to form on brow and upper lip. Fear was setting in and there was nothing he could do to stop it, no comforting words or thoughts, nothing reassuring came to mind. He quickly stood up from the bed and went to open the door so that he would ran away before the person comes, but alas, the door was locked, he was locked in this strange room.

His sword and all his Ninja's weapons have been taken away from whosoever it was that had brought him here.

He went back and sat down on the bed waiting...

He didn't have to wait for long when he heard the twist from the lock and the door was open, a guy entered the room and sent him a smile.

"I can see you are now awake Eric?" Paul said.

"How did you know my name? Who are you?" Eric demanded.

"Well." He said drawing the well. "I was the one who saved your neck few nights ago from Ivan or whatever his name was, brought you here and healed you." Paul explained, resting his back on the door.

Eric recognized him immediately. "Thank you sir for saving my life that night." He finally said.

"It's okay Eric and please don't call me sir, I am Paul, call me Paul."

"Alright Paul." Eric said feeling relaxed now.

"So why was Ivan after you that night?"

"You know I am a Ninja, right?" Eric said as Paul nodded his head to let him know he knows that. "I and Leo, another Ninja, was sent by our master to kill someone who had given him some information he needed. Leo sent me to inform master that we have killed the target. I got to the hotel he stays and told him, and also asked him why he was doing that when he looked exactly like him, he told me about his past and I left, the next thing I know was seeing Ivan fighting me and you came to my rescue." Eric explained.

"He sent Ivan to kill you because he told you somethings of his past?"

"Yes, but he would know I am not dead yet and will soon fish me out. How were you able to kill Ivan who was among the Nine Fingers?"

"I am something like you, back to your master, you need to tell me everything that you know because two Ninja's with your logo wanted to kill my cousin, but they didn't stand a chance."

"He is doing all these for a lady whom he had fallen in love with." Eric told him finally.

"Hmm, tell me more about it."

"My master has a twin brother who died some years ago, he caused the accident that claimed the lives of more than 200 passengers including his twin brother. He did everything just to be close to the lady who was in love with his twin brother. My master and his twin brother looks alike, so he wants to use that to his advantage." Eric explained.

"So what is your master name and who is the lady he is doing all these for?"

"He is Philly and his twin brother name was Philip, the lady....I think her is Nora or Ora, but she is a ballet dancer." Eric explained more.

Paul was surprised at that as he quickly remembered Ora, but did Eric just said Nora?

"Nora and Philip were so much in love that we know her love for him was unbreakable. So Philly planned it all."

Why does that name sounds familiar to him? He knows that name from somewhere....but where? Ora had made mention of Philip when she asked him if it was Philip who had taught him his cooking skills.

Suddenly an image flashed through his mind, it was not clear...it was blurry. He saw a lady dancing with guy. The image soon cleared and he saw Ora dancing with a guy whose back was facing him.

The image faded and he saw himself sitting on the ground holding his head with his hands, Eric was beside him with worries written all over him.

"Are you okay Paul?" Eric ask in concern.

Blinking his eyes, he nodded his head and stood up.

"Take your bath and get dressed, there are clothes your size in the wardrobe, wear it and come down stairs to eat." Paul told him and left the room, he went to the kitchen to start preparing the food and to also think about the image he just saw.

****

Casala:

Nora entered her room and saw Daisy. "Where have you been all through the day?" Nora asked quickly shutting her door.

"I have been busy looking to see if I would trace the dark magic that used David to lure you to Lora."

"And did you find anything?"

"Yes I did, I think I now know who helped Lora, although I am still investigating on it. So your Philip is now back Nora, you are happy now." Daisy said changing the topic.

"Yes I do, I am happy that he is back, though I don't know why I feel something is not right with him. Seeing Philip after so many years should have gladden my heart but I don't feel that joy yet Daisy, but I am glad he is back." Nora said and went to sit on her bed. "I know there are things you're not telling me, right?"

"Yes, I am not premitted to tell you anything, I will only guide you. Follow your heart Nora, the heart never lie."

"I miss him." Nora quitely said.

"You just left his room some minutes ago and you are now missing him? Go and meet him Nora."

"I am not talking about Philip Daisy, I am talking about Paul. He promised me he will visit me but it has been days and I haven't seen him. I don't know why but I miss seeing his face."

***

Valten:

30 Minutes Later:

Everyone was sitting down on the dinning table. Paul had introduced David to Eric and both of them click immediately. Robert has gone out to see someone with a food flask containing the food. He couldn't miss it for the world.

David took three spoons of the rice when he stopped eating and stare at Paul in bewilderment.

"Paul, have you ever meet a guy called Philip before? Maybe talk to him?"

Paul and Eric both shared a look.

"No, any problem?"

David took a spoon of rice again to confirm something, "Philip was a cook, a great cook, in fact he won a lot of award for his cooking before his death, do you somehow met with Philip? Because this food taste exactly like Philip's."

"Why do people keep saying that, first was her and now you."

"You haven't answered my question yet, have you met with Philip?"

"No, I don't even know who this Philip is. I have never met him in my life before, are you satisfied now David?"

"No I am not, my nephew Paul which is you, don't know how to cook, I know this because I have lived and stayed with you, when it comes to cooking, you are zero in that area. And then... there is Philip, I have also known him for a long time to know how his cooking tasted. Who taught you this, definitely, you must be friends with Philip."

"David you know how I nearly died in that accident." David nodded his head to continue. "I woke up and saw that I can cook."

"Something is really fishy because I know my best friend cooking any where in the world." David said.

"Seriously I don't know what you're talking about." Paul told him and stretch out his body, then the polo he was wearing shifted a bit, David saw some burn scars on him.

"Where did you get that burn scars from?" David suddenly asked as Paul quickly covered there before Eric would see it.

"I got it when I had the accident.....why are you looking at me in that way?"

"I vividly remember when my father called me not to follow you that day, I didn't enter the car you were in, so I boarded a taxi that was following you, I really wanted to go for that party. Then your car flipped and somersaulted a couple of times before it stopped. It didn't catch fire, I was the one who had called Uncle and told him about your accident, he came and took you to the hospital. Paul, the car you were in didn't burn that would make you have this burnt scars, you were only injured Paul."

"This is strange." Eric said after a while.

"There is only one person who has the answers to what we are looking for." Paul told David.

"And who can that be?"

"The hospital that I woke up, doctor Fey will have all the answers to our questions, and if he refused to oblige, then I will use force on him and burn down his hospital." Paul responded.

Chapter 22

'Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins. Wherever life plants you, bloom with grace.'

David read the message and suddenly became alert, he pretended to look for something on the floor look behind him, truly as Paul had said, there were two guys in blacks behind him pretending to be looking for something also.

He quickly texted Paul back:

Okay. I am heading there.

He called a taxi and entered it giving the direction he was heading too.

The two guys also called a taxi which followed David's.

Paul started his car and drove behind them slowly, keeping his space far away from them so that they won't get suspicious of his car.

Floda:

Nora went back to meet Philly in the room he was.

"Where is David?" Philly pretended to ask in concern when he noticed Nora came alone. He slowly sat upright on the bed.

"He has left. Although he was upset but he send his hi to you." Nora answered sitting beside Philly once again.

"Why will he do that, he hasn't seen me for a long time and all he could say is hi, what kind of friend is he." Philly said pretending to be angry at David.

"Well, I wouldn't blame him. He loves me but I don't, and when I told him that you are back and I still love you, he wished us well and left. He couldn't face his friend you know." Nora told him.

"If you say so Nora." Philly said.

"Now you get some rest, I will check back on you later."

"Thank you Nora for everything, for still loving and accepting me, I really appreciate you. I thought you would have forgotten about me and start a new life all over again, but I was wrong about that, you had patiently waited for me." Philly said with his charming smile.

"Why will you think that Nora of all people, would forget you that easily. There is nothing on Earth that can compare my love that I have for you. You complete me Philip and I am glad I waited." Nora said to him in all smiles.

"I love you Nora." Philly whispered closing his eyes.

'I love you too, now take your rest my love."
Nora said and sent him a smile before she kissed his forehead then stood up from the bed and left the room.

Philly quickly left the bed and went out of the room.

___

"I am so glad that Philip is alive Craig after so many years of separation form us." Kate said in happiness as they sat down in the sitting room.

"Yes I am glad Philip is back." Craig responded bey bringing out his phone to dial a number in it. "Excuse me ma'am." He added as he stood up and left Kate to talk privately with whosoever it is he had called.

Nora came out and went to meet Kate, sitting down beside Kate, she placed her head on her grandmother's shoulder and exhaled deeply.

"I can tell from your eyes that you're as happy as Craig, seeing Philip today, I saw a smile that I haven't spotted on you all these years." Kate spoke after a while.

Lifting up her head. "Yes grandma, I am glad. He was the only one who could bring that smile on my face then, that special smile that is only meant for him."

"I can see that in your face, so what did David say?" Kate asked.

"Nothing much, he just came here to beg me to date him and I told about Philip, he wished us luck and left." Nora answered.

"Aww, I feel so sorry for him." Kate said in pity.

"Yeah, me too. He will find someone to love him, by the way grandma, I forgot to tell that I and Lora met in Casala. She is the girlfriend of David."

"What!? You don't mean that do you?"

"I do, it escaped my mind the other day when I was explaining to you and Uncle Craig."

"Did you see your... parents?"

"No, it was after she left that the magic David came and took me to the mountain."

***

Casala:

Lora who just returned from Valten was livid in anger.

She ignored all the greetings the servents sent her way, and even pushed some out of the way who weren't fast enough to avoid her.

She entered her parents room without knocking.

Mary and James were going through some of their office works when Lora barged in on them. They weren't surprised when they saw her.

"Lora dear, what is it?" Mary immediately asked as she saw the look on Lora's face.

"Where is grandma Kate living in Floda?" Lora demanded immediately ignoring Mary's question.

"Why do you want to know Lora, what happened?" James asked his daughter.

"It's been long I saw grandma Kate, plus I want to also see Nora." Lora answered. "So where does she live?"

"Why do you care to see your grandmother and Nora all of sudden, were you not the same person who had made us give your twin to Kate to live with."

"Yes I know, you don't have to remind me that, in case you don't know, Ora, the ballet dancer which we all know and wish to meet is actually Nora, so you see why I need to go to Floda to see them. I need to see my twin sister."

"Okay, but we're coming with you." James told her.

***

Valten:

Paying the taxi he boarded his fare, he opened the gate and entered the empty compound, Paul and him has the keys to the house. He did as if he didn't see the two guys coming down from their own taxi.

He closed his gate and dropped his suitcase on the ground and sat on it facing the gate.

The two guys jumped through the old fenced and was surprised to see David looking at them, not an ounce of fear was seen in him.

Without wasting time, they brought out their sword from their clothes behind their backs and held it in front of David. They swing their swords together in rhythms and was surprised when David didn't even flinched.

One ran towards him lifting up his sword in process, before his sword would strike David, a hand sized the sword from hitting his target. The guy tried to remove his sword from the intruder but couldn't.

Paul Immediately remove a small knife from his back pocket which he used in tearing the Ninja's throat open, he also thrust the knife into his heart repeatedly before dropping the lifeless body on the ground, kicking the dead body away from them towards the remaining one who looked surprise seeing him.

"I will only ask this once, who sent you to kill my nephew?" Paul demanded right away.

"Come and make me talk?" The second guy replied, flexing his tight muscle and his sharp sword.

He was surprise to see Paul standing in front of him Immediately, he blinked his eyes multiple times.

How did he came so fast in front of him that he didn't notice? He thought.

The pang of pains he felt on his stomach made him realized his own sword has been used in stabing him to his death, he was finding it very difficult to breathe. He fell down to the ground with a loud thud.

Paul turned to his nephew, "Let's get out of here." He said and started leaving the compound.

David quickly stood up and hurried after him with his suitcase.

"You left him alive, why?" David asked immediately he entered the car and they drove away from there.

"Yes, I left him alive because he will call his master or whoever it is, to inform him of his failed mission, he will then give him my description." Paul answered without looking at David.

"Do you know what you just did? He or they will hunt you and kill you, in fact I don't even know why they want to kill me."

"That is what I want to know, so relax, no harm will come to you." Paul assured him.

"So how did you even know that they were sent to kill me?"

"Their clothes gave them away and plus, their clothes has the same logo of someone I saved few nights ago. So I used my brain to add the sums together, and, I was right."

****

Floda:

Nora had left Kate to her room in her words, to discuss with Daisy, when Craig entered the sitting room to sit close to Kate.

"I am suspecting something ma'am.' Craig began.

"And what can that be?" Kate asked suddenly interested.

"It's about my son." Craig replied.

"And what about him?"

"Something sounds fishy, the Rebels doesn't really deals with swords, never. I just called one of them and they swore they didn't captured my son like he had claimed, because I fully know I wasn't owning them that much." Craig revealed.

"So you're saying that this Philip is lying to us?" Kate asked.

"Yes ma'am, I also observed that the sword wounds he carries also looks exactly like that of the dead Diego. I think he isn't saying the truth." Craig said.

Unknown to them Philly overheard their conversation.

Chapter 21

'Infuse your life with action. Don't wait for it to happen. Make it happen. Make your own future. Make your own hope. Make your own love. And whatever your beliefs, honor your creator, not by passively waiting for grace to come down from upon high, but by doing what you can to make grace happen... yourself, right now, right down here on Earth.'

"I don't understand father, who is getting married?" Paul asked confusedly.

"Stop pretending as if you don't know what I am talking about, Lora here has just told me that she loves you and will want the both of you to tie the knot, isn't that great!" Robert said happily to his son.

"Father, nothing on Earth will make me marry or love this evil witch standing with you."

"Paul, it is my order, you will marry her and that's final, you have no say in this." Robert said the smile gone from his face.

"Father it is my own decision to make and not yours. I will get to live with who ever I choose and she is not the one, as a matter of fact, I love someone else." Paul told Robert before his gaze landed on Lora who was frowning. "Don't you understand the word No? Should I spell it out loudly for you to know I don't love you! Whatever little respect I had for then back then seized the day I saw you pushed down that lady on the mountain." He said quitely as he saw the surprised look evident on Lora's face. "Yes Lora, I saw you, surprised? I saw you what you did to her and for that my hatred for you grew the more, now leave me alone and look for someone else to bother!" Paul shouted.

"Enough! Don't shout at her Paul, whether she pushed a lady or not, she is your perfect match, you ought to be glad that she has a little of Mafia blood in her. Can't you see it clearly written? Look, I am your father and I made you who you're today, my decision is what you follow. You will get married to Lora simple." Robert said in his Mafia tone.

Paul returned his gaze back to his father and stare at him hard. "Father, all my life since I woke up from my coma I have always obeyed you. I did everything, anything you asked me to do without questioning, I do everything without disobedience, but you see this one, I will not obey you. Yes, you made me who I am today, but you're nothing without me. Do not force me dad unless you want to lose me and you..." He said facing Lora once again. "You Disgust Me, I loathe the very ground you walk on."

Without waiting for anyone reply, he left them and climbed the stairs to his room.

"Don't worry Lora, he is yours. How can he reject a beautiful lady like you?" Robert said, he wasn't really interested in Lora, he was interested in her fame. If Paul agrees to marry her, the whole world will come to know about them the more, plus he really likes her songs. Why can't his son sees this, he ought to grab this opportunity not flung it.

"I am not surprised by his behavior. I am only angry that a girl made him reject me."

"That's a little piece of cake my dear, I will find out whoever the girl is and deal with her myself." Robert assured Lora.

"Thank you sir, I will be on my way now. Have a nice day." With that Lora left.

***

Floda:

A little cough brought Nora's and Craig attention back to the Philly as the cough increases.

Craig quickly went out to get a glass of water for him leaving Nora behind.

"Its okay Philly." Nora said tenderly and sat down on the little space in the bed, sitting close to Philip and hold his hand.

Craig soon returned and gave the water to Philly who quickly drank it rapidly.

"Dad, am scared...they will come for me." He said in a very scared voice as soon as he finished his water.

"Who will come after you my son?" Craig asked.

"My torturers..." He answered weakly sitting up, groaning in pains as he did so. He was looking round them frantically.

Nora hug him making sure not to add more pains to him.

"You're save Philip, no harm will come to you. I am here for you."

He nodded his head and buried his face in her neck breathing in her sweet scent and smiling inwardly. After a while, Nora lifted her head to meet his gaze, she smiled at him.

"How were you able to see again my Love?" Philly asked holding his head faking as if he was trying to remember something. "You weren't seeing nor talking before I left, how did it happened?" He wasn't expecting this, he thought Nora was still blind and dumb.

Nora smile at him again. "The universe decided to give me a second chance and gave me back what I lost.... What about you, we thought you died in that plane crash. How did you survived?"

"I was captured by the rebels when I entered the airport that very day." Philly said.

"Rebels? Who are they?" Nora asked slightly confused.

"Dad knows who I am talking about." Philly said as Craig remembered the rascals who made him lose everything. "The rebels were the ones who seized everything from my father because he took a huge loan from them and couldn't pay when it was due. They throw us out in the street before we met your grandmother. They kidnapped me and made me work as a slave for them for the years that went by. I wasn't on the plane but I over heard what happened to it from one of them. I tried to escape but escaping from that Island to here isn't easy, each time I tried to escape and get caught, I was burned severally. For many years, I planned my escape... Until yesterday I made my mind to run away even if it means I die trying. I fought well trained men and they did this to me." The lies rolled easily from his mouth as he gestured to his whole body. "I know you won't love me because of my ugly scars now."

"I am so sorry you went through all these alone. I still love you Philip regardless of your scars. I cried and couldn't find myself loving anyone all through the years, somehow I knew you were still alive." Nora said crying.

"I am sorry I didn't contact you. The thought of seeing you again kept me sane. You have grown so much.... into a beautiful lady, I am so glad you still love me." Philly said and kissed her forehead.

Kate came in and sent a smile at their direction.

"Nora, David is here to see you to explain things to you." Kate said coming towards them. "And the doctor said you shouldn't move for a day or two, so stop talking son."

Nora excused herself as she left the room to answer David.

"Who's David dad?" Philly demanded immediately Nora was out.

"Don't be jealous Philip, David is one of Nora's admirer but she has told him repeatedly that she doesn't love him." Craig answered smiling at Philip as he and Kate shared a knowing look of how Philip looked in his jealous state.

But what they didn't understand was, behind that jealous look, lay a deadly plan.

"Rest now son." Kate said lovely and left with Craig.

As soon as they were gone, Philly texted someone.

David was a goner.

____

Nora greeted David who looked surprise that she knew where he was standing. Seeing his looks, Nora laughed at him and went to stand directly at his face.

He was truly handsome as he had boasted, but she isn't interested in him.

"To confirm your suspicious, yes I can see and talk." Nora told him.

"For real? How did this happened?"

"Well the universe decided to favour me." Nora answered with a smile.

David laughed with joy and hug her. "I am so happy for you Ora, words can't explain how I feel right now."

"I know right, I too was surprised. I was pushed and when I woke up, I realized I could see and talk."

"Well, I came here to tell you that I wasn't the one who took out to that mountains."

"I know you weren't the one. Who ever did that, even helped me by returning what was taken away from me in the first place."

"Ora, when would you return my love, I have been patient enough. Can't you reconsider me, please."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Philip is back and he is alive."

"You don't mean that. He's alive, how come?"

"Well he was kidnapped inside the airport by his father's enemies. What they did saved him from been burnt alongside with the rest passengers. So you see, I can not return your love, I have always told you that I only see you as a friend, nothing more."

David breathed a sign of defeat, what Ora told him had just weaken him. Philip was a very good friend of his back then and fighting him over Ora.... He wouldn't win against Philip, the best thing is to let her go.

"I hate to say this Ora, but Philip is my best friend, so for him resurfacing again into your life, I am happy your believe brought him back to you." David said sadly. "Tell him I say hi."

With that he left a speechless Nora behind.

As the driver drove out of the premises towards the airport, David kept thinking of Ora and Philip being together.

He was about booking his flight to Casala when he changed his mind and decided to go to Valten to visit his nephew. It has been long he had seen him and also to tell him about his sad love story.

He was so engrossed with the thought of Ora in Philip arms that he didn't see the black Honda following him.

Getting down from the car, he entered the airport and paid for his flight ticket going to Valten.

The black Honda also parked and two guys in all blacks came down from the car and entered the airport, the Honda drove off.

He called Paul's number which was picked by the second ring. "Hello brother."

"Hi David, did someone looked for your trouble?" Paul asked, whenever his nephew calls it means someone looked for his trouble and he wants his help.

"Are you home?" David asked instead.

"Yes I am."

"Okay, I will be coming over to Valten in 2 hours time, come and pick me up at the airport."

"Anything for you little bro, see you in 2 hours time." Paul said.

David entered the plane going to Valten, still thinking of Ora.

The guys in black sat opposite him.

TWO HOURS LATER:

Paul saw David walking out of the airport with his suitcase, he was about to shout his name when he saw the two guys. He looked closely at them and know what they were, he noticed they were following his nephew, he quickly texted David.

David phone vibrated, he opened it and read the text from Paul:

I can see you David. There are two guys in black following you. Take them to that isolated building we normally hang out, I will be following you closely. This two fishes will be roasted.

Written by
Ifeoma Isabella Okeke

Chapter 20

'The life lessons that we hold most dear have come from dance. Dance is storytelling and language; it is a means of expressing emotions both powerful and beautiful. Dance is art, Paint your dream and follow it. Dance with your heart, and your feet will follow.'

"Nora." He called out softly and fainted, in their haste to get him inside, no one saw the small smile plastered on his face. His plans are going perfectly well.

Casala:

"A love greater than mine you say?" Lora demanded in shock as she removed her eyes from her phone.

"Not just yours Lora, but anyone's. The love guiding him couldn't allow my dark magic to penetrate through him. Paul isn't just protected by that powerful love Lora, he has the blessings of a goddess who is protecting him from harm, so I will advice you, stick to David and let Paul be." Dee said and suggested.

"Never Dee, I will never try such a thing. Its true I have David, but who I truly longed for is his nephew, who is Paul. The first day I saw him I want him by all means, but he doesn't want me. I want Paul all to myself, why can't he love me. I am beautiful, sexy and appealing to the eyes why then does he not love me." Lora said and nodded her head as a thought suddenly came to her. "There is something that just came through my mind now, I hope it worked because I am trying it. I am going to David's residence to see him then I will be flying to Valten to see who I want to see."

"Why are you going to Valten?" Dee voice came again surprise.

"I don't need to say it Dee, you will see it, after a you're coming with me." Lora reply with a smile. Paul will be hers either by crook or by hook.

Mark met his son, David, parking some of his clothes into his suitcase.

"Where are you going son?" Mark asked confused by what he was seeing.

"I am going to Floda to meet Ora dad." David answered briefly.

"Why do you want to visit her when you fully know what she has been through, don't you think you are talking a huge risk again." Mark said. "What if someone appears like you once more to her and whisk her away?"

"I know that father, I am going to Floda to tell her that I was not the one with her and maybe confuse her to like me. I just want her to love me dad." David responded closing his suitcase and facing his father.

"And if she doesn't return your love? What will you do? Kill yourself? Look son, its high time I tell you the truth. Don't you see all these that has been happening as a sign that the universe isn't on your side? If Ora truly was yours from beginning, she would have been with you and love you. I will advice you this once like a father, leave Ora alone and focus on Lora who loves you."

"Father, I am not leaving Ora alone, in fact I don't care if the universe is in support of I and Ora, all I know is that she will be mine soon and I will crush whosoever that stands in my way of getting Ora." David told his father and picked his suitcase up and was going down the stairs when he met Lora heading towards him. His was was behind him.

He wasn't surprised when he saw her, in fact he was glad she was here. He want to break up with her so that he can focus more on Ora.

Lora looked stunning in her dress gave David a smile. Her blue dress waist is thin, but it's a slim fit. A bow has been wrapped around her waist and positioned slightly to one side. Below the waist the dress fits snug around her and has a suit skirt style. The dress reaches to just below her knees and is longer in the back. She looked beautiful, if it was before David will have start praising her looks.

She was surprised to see David with a suitcase.

"Where are you going dear?" She asked in a lovely.

"I am going somewhere, I have something to tell you, I was actually planning to tell you on the phone but seeing you here is okay for me." David told her in a serious tone.

"And what can that be?" Lora asked with her raised eyesbrows.

"It's over between us Lora. We are no more together."

Lora was shocked and speechless. "What!? Why? Did I do something annoying to you that I don't know off?"

"No you did nothing wrong, I have fallen out of love for you, please try to understand. I am no longer interested in you again, now if you will excuse me, I have a flight to catch." David said and left Lora who still looked surprise.

She wasn't expecting that.....yet.

She turn back to face Mark. "What has gotten into your son sir, why did he break up with a hot cake like me?"

"Don't mind my son Lora, he is in love with a lady who is so out of his reach. I have told him to stick with you but no, he wouldn't listen to me. He is going to meet the girl again." Mark explained.

"So who is this riff raff that wants to steal my man away from me?" Lora demanded slightly angry.

"Ora, the ballet dancer." Mark replied her with a tired sign.

"Wait a minute....which Ora are you taking about?" Lora demanded immediately.

"I just said Ora the ballet dancer, the one they refer to as the goddess of dance." Mark explained better.

"But I thought something happened to her....you know, I thought she died or something." Lora said in surprise. She wasn't expecting that either.

"Who told that? I mean how did you come to hear about Ora's?" Mark asked looking at Lora in a suspicious manner.

"Your son told me. Wait....did you just say David wey to visit her? As in visit Ora?"

"Yeah. I have told him that he should leave her alone."

"Oh, so he is in love with Nora who mysteriously survived that fall." She whispered to herself that Mark didn't heard what she said.

"Thank you sir, I will be on my way now but be rest assured that David and I are still dating."

He hoped the art of healing he had performed on Eric saved him.

He saw Lora and his father laughing at whatever stupid joke she was telling him.

He angrily walked down the stairs towards them.

"Father what is she doing here?" He demanded immediately in anger.

"Paul, this is Lora, my favorite famous singer." Robert said in all smiles.

"I know that already, what I am asking is what is she doing here!?"

"Keep your voice down Paul. Anyway, she is just telling me that she likes you and since she is my most favorite celebrity singer, Paul, I want you to marry her, in fact I am ready to give you my blessings."

Craig choose that moment to join her as his eyes were swollen from cry.

"Your son is out of danger now, I will write down the things that will be given to him until he heals." The doctor told Craig jotting things down. He left the room to go and meet Kate.

Craig Immediately went to his son side and held his hand into his. His son wasn't a little boy any more, he is now a man.

Craig cried at that thought.

"Philip can you hear me, its me your dad, you're going to be fine." Craig said with tears.

Nora went to and meet Craig and touched his shoulder in a assuring way. "He will be fine, please be strong for him." Nora told him softly.

"Who would have done this to my only son, look at how he's badly wounded." Craig said.

"We are going to find out who did this to him and have him or her arrested. And also, we will need to ask him where he was all these years, we have a lot of questions that needs answers, so instead of crying encourage him to not give up and wake up."

"Thank you Nora." Craig said cleaning his tears.
