Raven stared at Chanel for a while before she let out a low chuckle. Yoel never failed to send a calculative one her way. "As much as I am scared, what you're asking for isn't something I can easily do." Raven said. "I can't risk going out and even if I do, there's no guarantee my sister won't appear and rip out my head.""Drexa is mourning over her failed plan. She won't have the time to think of you." "The last time I checked, I have two sisters." Raven corrected. "Cassidy is dead." "You said it yourself, Drexa is mourning over her failed plan and that's because she lost Cassidy's body. Unlike what a lot of people think, you can't really kill an Elsher with just anything and only Cassidy has the last of those things." "And it is in the safe the offspring of the Masons holds." Chanel butted in. "I might be killed on my way there. Who knows if Cassidy has already been awakened." Raven quickly dismissed the thought of going over to Rebecca's Compound as soon as those words rolled
Raven left to Rebecca's Compound alone where she met Shawn painting as usual. The man always seemed carefree and seemed to only have time for his drawings. She walked closer to him and took a glance at the drawing. It was a bloody scene with lots of dead bodies and a darkened sky. Something about it made her shiver. "Don't you ever get tired of painting? And this is the most disturbing I've ever seen you paint." She said but Shawn refused to give her his attention. "Right. Like I didn't know you'd ignore me." She scoffed and straightened up. "There's someone in your custody I've come to retrieve.""Is that person perhaps Taylor Mason?" Shawn asked and she looked down on him in surprise. "How did you know she was the one?" "There are only two of them; Kara and Taylor. Given Kara's background, she's of no use to you. Taylor on the other hand can get you a lot of things given the family background she comes from." Shawn replied, still not looking up at her. "Since you've guessed th
The fear in Raven's eyes was evident but Cassidy chose to ignore it. Centuries ago, she would've gladly helped this sister of hers out of any difficult situation but it was so bad she was killed by this same one."Can you guess what I feel like doing to you right now?" Cassidy asked with darkened eyes and Raven gulped down nervously. She dared not say a word because one wrong word would mean a hand on her throat about to rip it off or her heart flung across the compound. "Oh, you have no idea because I never actually did anything to hurt you. How naive of me." Casiddy answered her own question with regret written all over her face. "I did what I had to do, Casiddy. Besides, I didn't do it alone!" Raven summoned the strength to say. However, just like she presumed, she was pressed against a wall, Cassidy's hand on her throat and a vicious look in the woman's eyes. "I trusted you, Raven. I trusted you enough to be around while I gave birth to Ashley but your heart's so dark that yo
~Ashley~"We finally have your mom back. How's that going for you?" Cassie asked me as soon as we got to my room. "I don't know. You won't believe I fled when I saw her for the first time." I mumbled in embarrassment. "You're kidding, right?" Cassie asked in surprise and I shook my head. "Anyway, how does that make you feel? At least, now you can feel what it feels like to have a mother and father who loves you. And of course, she cleans up her messes." Cassie chuckled. "Oh my God! That's true! There's nothing as relieving as finally having her to take care of her messes. She practically spent her whole life making enemies." I reported with a huff and fell on my bed.""I believe when you've lived half of their age, you will understand that being immortal comes with its pitfalls." Cassie said, laughing lightly. Then fell on the bed, beside me. "So, let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you." I said, propping myself up with my below. "What have you been up to? Found another mat
"Is everything okay?" Casiddy asked as soon as she got close to them. Yoel and Ashley both gave her a warm smile. Yoel even added an 'okay' sign which he made with his fingers. Then he glanced at Ashley briefly, "Now I know why she's your best friend; she's everything a person can ever want." "Exactly." Cassie returned his smile and handed them their two out of the three glasses she brought back with her. "Do we find a table or do we go dancing?" Cassie asked once again, catching Ashley off with her enthusiasm. Like though reading her mind, Yoel looked into Cassie's eyes and admonished, "Go dance. I'll join in a few minutes." To Ashley's surprise, Cassie smiled at him and walked over to the dancing floor where she quickly mixed with the numerous dancing bodies. At this juncture, Ashley knew Yoel had done something to Cassie. "What did you do?" She asked, grabbing his hand. Yoel stared down at her hand and then at her face, then he reached out with his other hand and pried away
Drexa wasn't too surprised Cassidy had found her so soon. She slowly turned to face the sister she failed to get rid of 19 years ago. "My end came sooner than expected. But I'm glad I got to die in the hands of a worthy opponent and my younger sister." Drexa said with a smile. Cassidy snorted and stepped into the house. This was the home of a vampire, hence, she didn't need an invitation to get in. Looking around the sitting room, Cassidy nodded seriously, "You made a really beautiful place. It's unfortunate I'll have to burn it to the ground in a few minutes." She said nothing about Drexa's obvious death which surprised Drexa. She wriggled her brows for a few seconds before asking, "You sound like you're not going young to kill me today. Why the sudden show of mercy?" "Death is too easy an escape for you, Drexa. I'd rather have you dessicated in a coffin with your internal organs hurting for five centuries." Cassidy replied, flashing her warmest smile to Drexa. Chad, who notice
Texas "So? Your lover has been avoiding you?" Liam asked as he ate breakfast with Rebecca and Keller. Keller didn't give him an answer but Rebecca threw a warning look at him. He shrugged but didn't stop. "I'm just curious. Ever since she got the news about Cassidy's survival, she's been flopping. Does that mean she doesn't love you as much as she claims to?"Keller stopped moving her spoon and glanced up at him slowly. "Why don't you just ignore me like you always have?" "Because you are doing something that might get you killed. Did I also forget to inform you she killed the old couple we stayed at their place some days ago? That was the reason we asked you not to return there." Liam informed blankly, pretending not to see Keller getting annoyed. Keller suddenly scraped her chair backward and got onto her feet. Without another word, she walked out of that dining room. Left with Liam, Rebecca quickly reached out her spoon and hit him on the head. The man winced a little before s
Texas Zelena got to the location to see Keller deep in thought. "Are you alright?" Keller snapped out her thoughts and nodded at the question. Truth was, she was actually nervous. Given what she had heard from Rebecca and Liam, Zelena wasn't really the best when it came to betrayal. In fact, none of them were. Yet, here she was planning on telling Zelena about her mission to Texas. "Sorry if I kept you waiting." Zelena apologized with a smile warranting a nod from Keller. Keller first took several steps backwards and Zelena couldn't help but stare at her in shock wondering why she was suddenly putting a distance between them. "What did I do?" Zelena asked after a few seconds but Keller shook her head. "You did nothing but I feel there's something you should know and it's okay if you flare up in rage." Keller's words made Zelena stop. She quickly found a place to sit and sat on it. "Okay, I'm listening." "My coming to Texas wasn't coincidental. I came with two people, Rebecca a
