In the middle of the night, Garin woke up to the sound and feel of the wind coming into the room through the open door. He sat up and his eyes immediately fell on Hannah who was asleep, still facing the direction away from him. He turned his gaze away from her and looked at the entry point, wondering why the door was wide open. He looked over at the other side of the room and saw that neither Layla nor Kessie were on their mat-bed. “Oh no,” He whispered and dashed to his feet. Hannah woke up to the sound of his movement and looked at him, wondering what was going on. “What is it, Garin?” She asked as she sat up. “The girls are gone,” Garin told her as he went to search through their things. “What?” Hannah asked in shock, “What happened to them? Where did they go?” “I don’t know, Hannah. I just woke and noticed that they weren’t here,” He said while looking into his satchel, “…and neither is my bag of coins,” he added. They realized now that Layla had taken off with her sister a
Back in the shaman’s store, Hannah and Garin went back inside and found Selene flipping through a book that was placed on the table. “Is that book that has the spell we need?” Garin asked the shaman.“Yes, it is. Somewhere in its pages are a series of instructions, a list of all the ingredients needed to make a potion and the incantation that will get the Neph out,” Selene replied. She looked up and noticed the woman that was standing beside Garin and she could tell that Hannah wasn’t human despite looking like one. It didn’t take long before Selene sensed what Hannah was and she looked at her questioningly. “Um, Selene, this is my wife, Hannah,” Garin introduced her when he noticed the shaman staring at her. “Your wife?” Selene was shocked to hear this, “But, isn’t she a…?” “Yeah, she is. That isn’t important for now. Have you found the spell?” Garin asked. “Yeah, I have,” Selene said and tried to restore her focus to the task at hand, “Here it is,” She pointed at a page in the
Isabelle moaned with pleasure as Josh broke into her. She clenched her fist around the bed sheets and closed her eyes as he settled inside her. Her dark eyes remained dark as Summum’s power rose within the two of them. They were now at the point of no return, performing the act that would birth the last Nephalem and begin the revolution. “Take me, Josh. Don’t stop,” Isabelle moaned, willing him to go further, deeper, harder and faster. Josh drove himself into her and back out again, never slowing down the rhythm of his lovemaking. As he lay on her, he raised his head so he could look into her eyes and when he did, they were normal and they were so inviting. Josh kissed her lips, fondling her tongue with his while moving his hips. They both groaned and moaned, enjoying the feel of their bodies, basking in the heat emanating from them and loving every single piece of the moment they were sharing. Just outside the house, the winds were blowing strongly and howling loudly because of th
“Take a seat and let’s talk," Jennifer slowly walked over to her messed-up couch and took a seat, all the while without tearing her gaze away from the strange woman. “I can’t talk business with someone if I don’t know their name, now can I?” Jennifer asked, less afraid and more confident. She could tell that whoever this woman was, she wasn’t here to hurt her. She needed something from her which meant that she was valuable and if she was valuable, she surely wouldn’t be hurt. “Don’t flatter yourself, Jennifer. You’re my first choice but it doesn’t mean that you’re my only choice so I would advise you to maintain your fear of me,” The woman told her after reading her mind. She walked over to the table in front of the couch and sat on it, facing Jennifer. “My name is Summum, but you can call me Sue,” She said. “What are you?” Jennifer asked. “I am a God, and not one of those pagan monkeys that humans all worship…I am a real God, equal in many ways with the one who made the world
Later that night, Jennifer was asleep in her apartment when she felt a soft breeze blow around her which was accompanied by a weird sound. She opened her eyes and sat on her bed. “Summum? Is that you?” She called out, thinking the God had returned. “That ship has sailed, my dear and a new one has come to replace it,” A man’s voice said to her. In fear, Jennifer reached for the lamp on her nightstand and turned it on. She looked down at her bed and saw a man sitting in front of her with his legs crossed. “Hello, my dear. I’ve come to collect,” Lucifer said. “Who are you and what do you mean by that?” Jennifer asked, still scared. “You made a deal with one of my children and although she’s dead now, that deal remains and you were never able to deliver,” He said. A look of realization suddenly appeared on Jennifer’s face. This strange man was talking about her deal with Gentel and he had referred to her as “one of his children” and that could only mean one thing; HE WAS THE DEVIL H
THAT SAME NIGHT... ...Josh got into his car and drove out of the building parking lot. Just as he left, Jennifer was already behind him and was looking to follow him to where he was going.She hailed a taxi and after it stopped, she quickly got in.“Follow that car,” She said to the driver and pointed at Josh’s car.The taxi driver started moving and followed Josh’s car. In the taxi, Jennifer began to redo her hair and makeup so she wouldn’t look like she had just left the office without going home to change first. She took her brush and makeup kit out of her purse and applied them.She wasn’t exactly sure what she was going to do when she got there but she knew she’d know when the time came. Her devious mind was sure to come up with something soon.While Josh drove, he called Isabelle so he could reassure her that he was already on his way so she wouldn’t be too upset with him. He dialled her number and put the phone on loudspeaker.“Hey babe, I’m so sorry for making you wait but
“So, I guess you’ll be heading home now since your date didn’t show?” Isabelle asked meanly, trying to annoy her.“Yes, I guess so,” Jennifer replied with a fake smile.Josh was feeling really tense because he knew the both of them didn’t really like each other. Well, he was sure that Isabelle didn’t like Jennifer but he wasn’t sure exactly how Jennifer felt about Isabelle. Suddenly, he felt this really strong urge to urinate and although he didn’t want to leave the two women alone, he couldn’t hold it in because he felt like his bladder was about to explode.“Honey, will you please excuse me, I gotta use the bathroom really quickly,” Josh said as he got up.Isabelle became angry with him because she thought he was trying to get himself out of this situation by running away from it and what made it even worse was what Jennifer said next.“I’ll wait here until you get back. There’s something I forgot to tell you when we were at the office,” She said.“Okay,” Josh could barely answer be
865 A.D...Tomorrow was the anniversary of the day Hannah and Garin arrived in Amania and he had a special surprise planned for Hannah. He decided to keep her in the dark for the entire day so he could get everything he needed in place for tonight.Garin was supposed to go to work today but he decided not to so he could plan his surprise instead. If everything was to go smoothly, he would need some help so he asked a few of his friends to help him out and their most important job was to make Hannah think that Garin was going to be at work so she wouldn’t suspect that he was planning anything.They arrived at his house in the morning to “get him” so they could “get to work” on some new projects. Hannah was all dressed and ready to head out to her school for the day but seeing the two men at their home so early in the morning aroused her suspicion.“Fara, Abu, what brings the two of you here this early in the morning?” Hannah asked after she saw them in the living room speaking to Ga
