"I went to see your mother..Ariel, the thing is.. your mother's spirit is still lurking around and I'm the only one that sees her. She has tried multiple times to make you see her whenever you go to the garden but it doesn't work. She had always wanted me to tell you something but I had to wait till you're old enough" Resa continued
"So what you're saying is the reason why I go to that garden is because my mother is calling out to me because she had always wanted to tell me something?" Ariel asked in realization and Resa nodded"Hmmm...so what's has she always wanted to tell me?" Ariel said and Resa sighed before answering"I don't really think you are ready for what you are going to hear Ariel.""It's fine. Tell me" the girl said with curiosity in her eyes. Resa rubbed the back of her neck and finally made the decision "Okayy...Ariel your mum was a witch" Resa said and the girl beside her froze and was lost in thoughts"Ariel?" Resa called out to her but got no reply."Ariel?" Resa said shaking her this time"How?" Ariel asked and Resa answered "We can't really control or change what we are meant to be Ariel""What do you mean by we?" Ariel said glaring at the woman beside her"Ohhh Ariel...I'm a vampire and since your mother was a witch, you are one too" Resa said and Ariel looked frustrated and worked up."Before your mother died, she cast an eternal spell on you. It's a spell of protection. That's why you see, a light always appears anytime Micheal wants to attack you. Your mother knew that after her death, that damned witch will come after you" Resa continued and Ariel was just simply awestruck. She never expected that she would or she was a witch.A creature she hated. She slammed her forehead with her hand as she sighed. "So what do I do now?. 'Cause it seems Mike would never stop attacking me until I die" Ariel said and Resa answered "Ariel, I know you are scared of Sebastian, but the only option now...is to live with him!"What?!?!?! Live with Sebastian?!?!. She was scared of that guy. Though, not as much as she was scared of Mike but...she was really scared of the unknown part of Sebastian...his dark side."Why?!" Ariel asked and Resa rubbed Ariel's head as she replied "Sebastian is the only person those witches are afraid of. If they know you live with him, they'll reduce their attacks because they don't want to die.""The witches are afraid of Sebastian?" Ariel asked and Resa nodded. That means..... Sebastian is either more powerful than them or more dangerous than they are. Ariel thought and fear gripped her. "What if Sebastian finds out I am a witch, won't he kill me?" Ariel asked and Resa chuckled and answered "He already knows you are a witch Ariel, just do I as I have told you okay...live with Sebastian".After few minutes of deep thinking, Ariel finally agreed but she had to ask "What about my grandma? Can she live alone?" Resa replied, "Your grandma would be fine" and Ariel decided to calm down a little and put her hope in Sebastian and Resa.Unbeknownst to her, that the woman had other plans as to staying with Sebastian other than just ensuring Ariel's safety.Back in X & Y Corporation.In the Ceo's office..."Dave, prepare a room for a woman before I get home" Sebastian said to the man at the other side of the phone."Ok sir" the man said and Sebastian ended the call.Looking at the time now, it was minutes past noon. Sebastian walked out of his office and two big men followed him and they entered the elevator and soon, was out of the company....~~~~~Hey guys,I'm really sorry for not updating since. Hope you like this chapter as it unveils other secrets.Thanks for all your support.Love y'allAuthor~mimi~Getting home,Sebastian walked into his luxurious house and called for the man he spoke to on the phone earlier. "Sir?" The man said as he walked up to Sebastian."Is the room ready?" Sebastian asked "Yes sir. Everything a woman needs in already set in the room" the middle aged man said. The man was in a Butler uniform and had his jet black hair slicked back. This was Dave, he has been Sebastian's Butler for years now."We'll be expecting a guest soon" Sebastian said as he started walking away.~~~~Ariel just got back home and was packing her things with the intention of Resa taking her to Sebastian's house the next day.Ariel couldn't lie, she was still shocked about how things changed in her life recently. Her? Ariel? A witch?. It was so funny because it was like saying an ant is the ruler of the jungle. Her day today was just a mess... catastrophe upon catastrophe. Just in one day.She sighed as she zipped her luggage and went into the bathroom. Entering into the bathroom, she lo
After making that decision, Ariel took the book and read more of the content of the book. Her grandmother beside her, helped her to understand some things written in the book.After spending literally two hours learning about spells, Ariel finally decided to try and get some sleep after having such a hectic day. As she laid down on the bed, her grandma told her goodnight even though it was just 5:48pm.Drifting off to sleep was one of the most scariest thing for Ariel these days. Anytime she closes her eyes to sleep, she always felt like Mike was there watching her. Just like a horror movie, she heard his voice loud and clear in her head the moment she closed her eyes. "Run you little human...Run!!". Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead as she did her best to ignore that sinister voice in her head. Ariel started to wonder if that guy was really just a witch or he was also something else.Ariel was deep in thoughts and oblivious to her surrounding that she didn't know the moment a r
Ariel didn't know the time she fell asleep on the soft bed but she was awakened by a strong presence in the room. She opened her eyes slowly and rubbed them "Ahh..when did I fall asleep?" She said stretching this time. Ariel's eyes looked like it wanted to pop out of the sockets when she remembered something "Ariel you are so careless!! How will you just let yourself sleep when you just came into his house!!" She kept on scolding herself. Unbeknownst to her, a handsome Korean god was staring down at her and was watching her curse herself for being so careless.Ariel finally got up from the bed and turned around and saw Sebastian looking at her. The look on his face was just so intimidating that Ariel didn't realize the moment she blurted these words out " He looks like a Tyrannosaurus Rex that's about to eat me" "Tyrannosaurus Rex? Me?" Sebastian asked her raising an eyebrow."Ariel how could you say that out loud to your boss?" She thought before saying "Sh*t!! Did I say that out
Ariel went back to her room and called Resa asking her how she was going to make the arrangements for the trip and with the little but enough knowledge Resa had about it, she told Ariel how to get things done. The call took about ten minutes and Ariel ended it with "Thank you Resa"~~~~After Resa had guided Ariel on how to be the perfect assistant to Sebastian other than just bringing him coffee, Ariel quickly made arrangements for the trip."At least I have that done already. Now, it's time to practice all grandma told me" Ariel said to herself as she grabbed the spell book and walked out of her room. On her way down the stairs, she met Dave. "Sir, please do you guys have an empty space where I can practice some spells" Ariel said and the man replied with a smile "Follow me".Though Ariel still found it weird that she was a witch, she just had to accept it. Accept her new life. Ariel tagged along Dave until they got out of the house and arrived in a large garden at the back of the h
After practicing few other spells, Ariel was pretty worn out and Dave led her back into the house and then to the dinning room. "You have practiced enough, you need something to eat" Dave said as he gestured Ariel to sit on the dinning chair. He then walked into the kitchen. In a few minutes, he came out holding a tray of steamed buns and ramen noodles. "Please eat" Dave said to her before walking away. "So he cooks too...nice. Gosh, I didn't even get to thank him. He's been so nice to me"Ariel said inwardly before eating.When she was done, she went straight to the room. As she lay on the bed, she realized something. When she slept here earlier, she didn't hear Micheal's voice. She slept peacefully for the first time in a long time. "That damned witch is really scared of Sebastian" she said as she smiled and closed her eyes preparing to sleep.~~~~~~Sebastian was in his library with a very stern expression plastered on his face. He stared at the two men before him "As you know, Mich
Morning finally came and Ariel yawned as she got up from the bed. She took her bath and the moment she opened the wardrobe, her eyes almost popped out of the sockets when she saw the clothes that were in there. Since she arrived as a package in Sebastian's home, she had never opened the wardrobe to see the clothes that he had Dave prepare for her. All the clothes were either too short or too exposed in certain areas. With Ariel's decent personality, she was not the type to wear these kind of clothes.She thought of wearing her old clothes but remembered that she washed them while talking her bath. With a towel still around her chest, she walked out of the room.On her way down the stairs, she met Xavier. The guy looked like he just woke up, being that he was still in his pyjamas. "Uhmm... Good morning. Do you know where Dave is?" Ariel asked biting her lips out of shame because she was in a towel. Xavier scanned her from her head to her toe and smiled before saying "I think he's in th
Ariel and the butler Davd, came out of the kitchen and served the food on the table. Ariel was so embarrassed when she saw Sebastian as she remembered what she did earlier. He wasn't looking at her now but she felt his burning gaze was on her. When she wanted to place his food in front of him, she heard what she least expected "Run you little human...run!!" With that, her hand shook and the hot meal she was holding landed on Sebastian's thigh.Sebastian only sighed from the burning sensation on his thigh. He looked at Ariel and her hands were shaking. Dave rushed towards her and asked her what the problem was and she could only say "Micheal.... it's Mich..ael" her shaky voice troubled Dave but the other guys didn't look surprised at all. "Is he bothering you again?" Dave asked and Ariel nodded. She looked like a drenched scared stray cat at that point. Dave glared at Sebastian and Sebastian gave him a questioning look in return before standing up. Sebastian headed to his study. When
Sebastian had some arrows in hand and an apple when he walked into the garden where Ariel was and placed them on a table. Dave had already placed any other thing they would need there in the garden. Sebastian didn't waste any second to start her training."Archery is not that hard but at the same time, it requires concentration and your mind and your body being at peace. There are seven steps to make you a good Archer. First, Balance and coordination. Secondly, Accuracy. Thirdly, Calm and Composure. Fourthly, Precision. Then, Perception of Depth, Arrow drawing and handling and lastly, Arrow Nocking. Got it?" Sebastian said staring at his red-haired student. "I think so" Ariel said smiling awkwardly as this was the first time he said such a long statement to her. Instead of listening to what he was saying, she was staring at his lips and was in awe of his deep voice. He was really down to teach her how on to protect herself. Ariel sighed and placed her spell book on a exquisite wooden
