Reunited with a friendFreyaInstead of staying idle or continuing to hear the awful stories Klaus was telling me about Sofia, their mother and how Modan had become a shadow of itself under Tristan's reigned. I grabbed the book of spells and began going through it. It was all gibberish. I couldn't understand anything. I focused more, but nothing. Out of frustration, I threw the book at the wall, yelling out loud. They all rushed into the room."What's going on?" Lyra looked at me, then at the book lying on the floor. She went ahead to pick it up. I didn't say a word. My head was in my hands. Everything was too much. When will I leave like a normal person? "How is Alex?" Has he woken up still? It's been hours?" That's all I was interested in.Orion's mother shook her head. "He hasn't moved. He is still breathing but more faintly now."I couldn't hold my tears back anymore. I sobbed. "Am I going to lose my family because of a stupid curse? It's from one problem to another.""Freya, yo
Breaking the curse Freya"What are you doing here?" Lauren asked."No. What are you doing here? And her." I pointed at an almost unconscious Nyx. She wasn't aware where she was talking more of my presence. Sir Franklin opened Nyx's wound. It looked like a knife wound. she was stabbed in her stomach. Lauren said in a cracked voice. "Selena I am sorry I didn't observe the red signs in Damian early enough.""I should be the one apologizing. I should have warned you or told you the truth but I didn't want to ruin what both you and Damian shared. You were so much in love.""You are right. He loves me. But I can't stay with such a monster. I overheard his confrontation with Nyx before he stabbed her!""What happened? Why did you bring her here?" I asked. I still wasn't fond of Nyx. She is the reason why I and my family are going through pain. "Nyx discovered the truth. She felt something was off. She learnt about Damian's secret. But it was late. He could read minds just like you. He e
Tapping into Magical EnergyOrionAs my blood dripped on the pages. I could feel the sound of my heartbeat. I prayed that this would work. That it should be over. I know Freya has never done this but for some reason, I trusted she could do it. Not because she is a witch. I can't tell if she's a powerful one, although she is the offspring of a powerful one. Her confidence in trying to seek a solution was on a high level. And this made me believe in her. Saving Alex and Xandra depends on her now. I could see the love she had for the twins. The worry on her face was obvious. These few days she had lost a few pounds. I loved her for caring so much for our babies. Gabriel told me Freya killed Lord Samuel. I was furious. How dare he try to claim Freya? Freya even did good by killing him and letting his guards or people recover his body. If I was the one who killed him. There would be no corpse to recover because I would have reaped him to pieces. We watched the page for the blood to dis
Healing an EnemyFreyaAs the people of Modan came upon us, I hoped that this spell would work just like the one of breaking the curse. Even I was surprised at the speed everything was happening. I was desperate to break the curse but I didn't know tapping into magical energy would be as easy as it was. I was surprised that things weren't tough on me as a first-timer using magic. Their cries grew nearer. I could see the burning flames from the touches they held. Their march was eagerly accompanied by dogs to guide them through the woods to find us through our scent.If they discovered us. There is no avoiding a bloodbath. We could kill them all and we didn't want that. Once upon a time I never knew how to kill. I was even accused of killing but today I am a killer because of the evil out there and if things don't go well, I will be condemned as one who killed many. It was a battle of survival. kill or be killed. When they drew closer to our home. They stopped and stood as if search
More troubleFreyaI recite the healing spell many times. I could feel the energy seep from my hands and into her body. I felt weak but I continued. I think from the way I was feeling I knew how it works. It was why Sir Franklin wanted a very powerful mage or witch from her Coven. I was giving her part of my energy. To heal Nyx, my energy will be drained. I didn't care, as I had already started and wanted to finish it. The wounds began to heal slowly. I kept on repeating the incantation, and with it, my energy seeped out of me. Finally, it healed, but I was too weak to get up. I almost fell but Gabriel was close enough to hold on to me. Orion was with the twins. He saw what was happening and immediately took me from Gabriel and carried me in his arms. I wasn't unconscious but I was too weak to react to anything that was said. My vision is blurry. "It is the law of the universe. A life for a life. Nyx is wounded and needs energy, as such part of it will be transferred from Freya on
MotherFreyaOrion got to find out that Ryan had died. Knowing well that Ryan was a man who loved me and still did, Orion didn't hesitate to show sadness over Ryan's demise. Although Lyra didn't take it well. Gabriel had been trying to comfort her. Ryan was a good man. A rare kind. It hurt so bad that I couldn't give him what he wanted. He was my amazing grace. I knew if I never met Orion, Ryan would have been the one. I would fight and die to be his. I had gone to check on my father again. This time his wounds were completely healed but he was still resting. Lauren comes into the room my father was in and pulls me aside with trembling hands. "Freya, I have been waiting for you," she said.Lauren was calling me by my real name now and it sounded weird and nice at the same time, coming from her. "Waiting for me? What's the problem." I asked."I am scared. Something tells me Damian is on his way here.""How sure are you? Why do you think so?""I know it. He told me if I ever got away
Twist of Fate OrionI stood watching the most complicated relationship ever. Nyx is Freya's mother! Fate has funny ways of making our life pretty good at one moment and then messed up at the next. Freya was speechless. She already knew the truth before Nyx revealed it to the rest of us in the room. We were surprised Nyx went to the book after it had fallen just to go to the middle page to confirm something like she had seen this particular book before. We later discovered her name, Nyx was inscribed at the left bottom of the right page. No wonder she wanted to know Freya's father's name so badly.Freya didn't resist Nyx's hug but she didn't hug her back. When Nyx released her. Freya gradually stepped away from Nyx and left the room without words. I understood she was hurting and didn't know how to react to this revelation. I immediately went after her. "Freya," I called, but she kept on walking. "Freya stop! Wait. Where are you going?" I increased my steps.She didn't answer me.
ForgivenessOrionNathan called Nyx by another name. Lily. The surprise was a shock for Nyx. She gets to meet her husband and daughter on the same day."Where have you been all this while Lily?" Nathan glared at her. She said nothing. Her head bent, looking at her feet. Nathan continued. "I thought something bad had happened to you when you never returned after the purge. I waited for you. We both waited for you. I and Freya. You left our baby without a word to me. Did you think that stupid letter you wrote would suffice or explain better about where you were leaving to?"Nyx cleaned her tear-filled eyes with the back of her hand. "I came…back—" she said. Her voice was barely audible. "And you want me to believe that because you say so.""Believe me I did but I couldn't find you and our baby, Freya, in our house?" She stepped forward toward Nathan. He holds his hands up to stop her. "I thought something bad had happened to you two. I heard rumours that those related to witches we
