"So, what are you going to do now?" Adonis asked as they got to Bethany's house. He was not very comfortable with her still staying in the same house where she had been attacked.He would have asked that she come over and live with him, but he was so certain that Bethany's parents were never going to agree to that.They were still yet to agree that the attack at the home was more magical than physical. In fact, her parents were still insisting that the cops find the burglars who had knocked them unconscious and hurt their daughter. Unfortunately, there was no way they would be able to find them."I really do not know, but I have to find out if what Elaine had said is true. A part of me is certain she is telling the truth, but I love my parents so much and I do not want to believe they would keep as important as this away from me." She said her gaze on the floor.Adonis hated seeing her look so lost and defeated. The need to protect her overwhelmed him and he felt so guilty for everyth
Elaine stared at Kalta, wondering how to tell him that what he was asking for was almost impossible. There was no way there could be a reincarnated Espino. If there was one, she would know from the peculiarities of the stars from the night the Espino was born. She had seen nothing, felt nothing, and thus, it had to be impossible."Are you certain of what you are saying Lord Kalta? If there was a reincarnated Espino, I would have known about this. You are the first person to mention this." She said, not wanting to believe that it was true. All Espinos were dead and there was no way any one of them could reincarnate so easily without the stars signaling it."Are you trying to call me a liar, Elaine?" He asked staring hard at her.Elaine shook her head rapidly, not wanting to annoy him or give him the idea that she was disrespectful. As much as she did not really care about Kalta, she cared so much about her life.Kalta let out a breath to calm himself and took a seat on the sofa. It was
Adonis sat in Bethany's sitting room with his hands clasped tightly together. He was constantly tapping his feet and his nervousness was so open for anyone to see. She had told him to wait for her in the sitting room and that she had something very important to tell him. He knew it had to do with the truth about her birth, but he was so eager to hear it. It also did not help that he had been waiting here for the past twenty minutes and she was not picking up his calls.Mr. Blake shot him a glare and Adonis sat upright, not wanting to make the man think he was some weirdo. Well, he was, but this was not the impression he wanted to give to the father of the girl he liked the most."She is here." Mr. Blake said after a second.Adonis immediately raised his head just as her father had said. Bethany was standing at the bottom of the stairs, with the most beautiful smile on her face. She looked like an angel and he was so certain she was his angel."Hey, Adonis." She smiled at him, ignoring
"The Espino? What is that and how do we find it?" Bethany asked, her curiosity piquing higher and higher.Elaine let out a breath and knew it was time she gave these children a trip down history. "Alright fine. You both settle down. I need to give you both some history lessons."Bethany joined Adonis on the chair beside him and she stared at Elaine with eyes so eager and open to learning."Have you both heard of the Greek god, Asclepius?" She asked them."Yes, we have. Sometime during Art history class, I think." Adonis chipped in.Bethany nodded in agreement.Elaine nodded and continued with her lesson. "Well, I guess you all are familiar with the fact that Zeus had killed him off because he feared Asclepius was going to make every man immortal. Well, what a lot of people do not know is that Zeus had killed him for even more personal reasons, like the fact that Asclepius was having an affair with one of his greatest enemies, Ate.""Hey, wait. Isn't it like Ate one of the most evil fe
“What is wrong ?” Adonis asked her as soon as he saw the surprised look on her face. “This Orphanage, I know it.” She pointed at the name of the orphanage on the sheet of paper. “You have been to Los Angeles before?” He asked. "I grew up there in my early years, but I do not know so much about the place." She shook her head. "But yesterday, when my parents were telling me about my adoption, they mentioned this orphanage. They told me that this was where I had been adopted from and that there were a lot of weird activities in the orphanage as soon as I was brought in." Adonis stared hard at Bethany and did not want to follow the line of thoughts that were already appearing in his head. There was no way she could be the Espino. The universe can not be that evil to him. "Alright, I think you and this Espino girl might just be related. Hopefully, when we go to the orphanage, we can kill two birds with one stone; and get all the information we need to get about her and also about you.
Bethany's voice trembled with confusion and pain as she asked, "Were these the names you used before leaving Los Angeles?" Her parents avoided her eyes, and she immediately sensed that something was wrong. Overwhelmed with pain and confusion, she felt her world unraveling. The reality she had dreaded was now unfolding, and the life she once knew seemed no longer her own.All she had wanted was a meaningful relationship with the boy she liked, without their lives falling apart. Her confusion stemmed from her parents' decision to change their names, leaving her feeling as though she had been living with strangers her entire life."Talk to me, why don't you?" She yelled, frustrated that they were keeping her in the dark."Bethany, like we mentioned yesterday, there's a lot you don't know, and we didn't want to overwhelm you with too much all at once," her mom explained."Fine, but I'm ready now to hear whatever it is you've been hiding," she said, her curiosity peaked."Can we sit down
Bethany tip-toed down the staircase as carefully as she could. She was not ready to break her parents' hearts by telling them what she was about to do.She knew that her parents and Adonis were probably going to hate her for what she was about to do, but she did not mind. It is the only way Adonis can get the power he needs to defeat Kalta. She walked down to the sitting room to see that her parents were no longer there. She let out a small breath of relief, knowing that this would be easier than she had thought. Carefully, she walked down to the front door and gently squeezed the handle. The handle turned, but the door did not budge.She turned the handle two more times and realized that the door had been locked with a key. She had no doubt her father had done this simply because he did not want her to leave. Well, it was too late now. Her mind was made up and she was leaving that night whether they liked it or not. Carefully, she walked back up the stairs and looked down her windo
Bethany was completely surprised by the sudden change in Elaine’s facial expression. It was as though there was an evil part of this woman she had failed to see all these while. There was an odd voice within her telling her to stand up and run very fast. “Elaine, is something wrong?” Bethany asked as she stood up from the chair, not quite understanding what was going on with Elaine. "Everything is perfect, Bethany. Just sit." She ordered and forced Bethany to the sofa in her office. She also turned the locks of her office and ensured the place was properly closed. “Elaine, are you sure everything is fine?” Bethany asked, scared that she had probably made the wrong decision. “Perfectly okay.” The old witch answered and began reciting a spell, one asking to meet with Kalta.Bethany was unfamiliar with the words being said by the woman, but she had a strong feeling that it was nothing good. Elaine had completely changed and she knew she was in danger. All efforts to raise herself fro
