As soon as Baraka said those words, Odhan's eyes popped open with surprise. He did not hear anything, but how can Baraka hear Melanie's thoughts? he thought in confusion.
"Baraka?" Odhan stopped her when she was about to go and look under the bed.
Baraka stopped her progress and looked at Odhan who is now awake and is looking at her strangely.
"You are awake?" Baraka looked uncomfortable.
"Yes, I just woke up" Odhan is looking at her closely.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him say that he is awake just now. So he didn't hear her slip up, she thought with relief.
After what Melanie told him, and what he just saw her doing, Odhan too became suspicious of Baraka. His heart ached with betrayal.
'Are you loyal to me Baraka?' he thought in his mind looking at her closely.
Baraka looked startled and looked at Odhan with a strange look in her eyes.
"Of course,? What kind of question is that?" She
Melanie's shadow rushed towards her body and merged into it to become one again. All the knowledge her shadow gathered for the past one hour merged into Melanie's mind."Oh no," she whispered garnering the attention of Thea and Amber. Ophelia and Max left with the sentinel duty. As Melanie cannot function a hundred percent without her shadow, she was left under the care of Amber and Thea."What happened? Is your Shadow back? Did it bring something?" Thea asked anxiously."We have a problem. Baraka is suspicious. She gave gold coins to a dark creature to take care of someone before we reach there. We need to alert the others" Melanie said hurriedly.All three of them rushed towards where Darius and the others are holding a meeting about how to go tomorrow to search for Odhan.Melanie first approached the trash can in which Baraka threw the pouch, from which she used the powder to mix in Odhan's soup."What are you searching can for?" Amber as
Melanie and Eugene explained everything to Darius and the others. They were all surprised to hear this kind of behavior from Baraka. None of them suspected her to be disloyal."Here," Melanie produced the now empty pouch which Baraka discarded after using the content inside it."What is it?" Odhan asked looking warily at the pouch."This is the pouch in which the powder was stored. Baraka mixed that powder in your soup" Melanie reminded him."Oh.." Odhan took the pouch from Melanie and inspected the minuscule amount of the powder remains in the pouch.Odhan was shocked after he understood what the powder is used for."Do you know what it is used for?" Melanie asked."It is used to control the person to whom it was fed to" Odhan revealed with a betrayed look in his eyes."But this is rare and forbidden. How did she get her hands on this?" Eugene asked shocked."I don't know. She is not the girl whom she pretended to be. She is som
"So, all you ever wanted from me was money and status" Odhan outlined their entire time together.When he said it that way, Baraka too felt a little bad for what she did to him. But she went after what she wanted. She is not feeling guilty for using him for her goals.If only he understood her ambition and supported her, then they would have killed Assorthan a long while ago.But he was too loyal to his father to even consider backstabbing him. Only when his father killed an innocent in front of Odhan, made him change his mind.That's when he started to change. But in a strange twist of events, Odhan asked for the help of earth creatures who turned out to be too good to be true.After that, Assorthan's treachery was found out, and was ordered to kill, leaving Baraka to choose her new husband. That turned out to be none other than Assorthan.Too bad, she couldn't marry him."Yes, all I ever wanted from you was money and status. Bu
Darius, Lucifer, and Lucian sat with Odhan in the armory of the Shadowland. They are not sure about where Baraka might be."If she know where Assorthan is, then she must go there. Now that Odhan knows about her, there is no chance of her escaping from being punished. So now she might find Assorthan decides to help him to gain his favor, if she was not helping before" Odhan predicted.Darius, Lucifer, and Lucian detected a coldness in Odhan, which was not there before. Baraka's betrayal is hurting him deeply. He is doing what he can cope up."Probably, but it's already getting dark. And as far as we heard about the way, no matter whoever it is, they have to use their legs to walk there. So walking there alone in the darkness might not be a good idea. She knows that too. So if I am not wrong, she is still here, hiding somewhere. None of us know about her abilities fully. No matter her abilities and tricks, she might not make her journey tonight. She is cunning, no
Darius and Thea sat beside each other thinking about all the incidents that happened today. Both Darius and Thea know how much pain Love can be. It is also a great pleasure when you have the one you love beside you. But it's torture if they are not."I feel sad for Odhan," Thea said.Darius too felt bad for Odhan. Who better than Darius knows what it feels like to lose the one you love.But Odhan's pain is the betrayal of the one he loved. Exactly like he was betrayed by his father and brother Ornan. As Azzazal he loved them dearly. But he killed Althea out of jealousy.Darius feels sad for Odhan, but he knows the guy will recover over time. He has to, pain makes anyone strong. As a future leader, he has to be strong for his people."I do feel bad for him. But it's better this way. Baraka being exposed before he was involved too deep with her would make the guy collapse into oblivion" Darius said.Thea agreed with him with a soft humming sou
The next morning everyone packed up their tents and started towards their destination. After a few hours, they found a deep green forest nearby."There," Odhan pointed out.Darius and the others stopped to observe the forest and its surroundings."It's so pleasant here" Thea murmured.She insisted on getting down the beast.When she got down, everyone followed suit. Slowly she started walking forwards as if in trance."Thea" Darius called her.Startled she looked at Darius and noticed everyone gaping at her."What?" Thea asked in confusion.Darius is looking at Thea who is glowing. There is a certain shine to her which is flowing outwards."You are glowing," he said. Darius doesn't want to take her with him inside this forest. No one knows what they will find inside. She is already glowing. It might be the effect of the forest, where Theodora is buried."Ha?" Thea looked at herself and sure enough, she is g
David looked at the beauty who is sleeping in the bed fit for a princess, his princess. He arranged this room for her. Pink colored walls with white highlights every now and there. A huge bed with pink and white sheets was specifically arranged for her comfort.A huge mirror and vanity beside her is her closet filled with different kinds of clothes that are comfortable for her to wear.A knock was sounded from outside the door."Come in" he called for the person to enter inside the room.Tina, David's wife came inside, her expression sad. She looked at the woman who was kidnapped by her husband. Instantly her heart ached. She is sad about her husband's infidelity and for the unfortunate situation the sleeping woman is in.David and Tina were married for the past ten years and they have a son who is 9 years old. Tina is loyal to her husband and she loves him with all her heart.But sadly, David does not share her feelings. He is not satisfied
"I am Lord David Brooks. The handsome Lord of the Magic plane" David announced proudly. He is sure that she will fall all over him, once she saw him and his title.But Thea frowned at him. She looked at the man in front of her who look good enough, but not as handsome as Darius. This David eyes are filled with lust. Which alarmed Thea to a greater degree. She understood that this man might look harmless, but he will hurt her if given the chance."Where is Darius?" Thea asked ignoring the Lord in front of her.David was surprised by her couple's disregard towards him. No woman could ever be able to resist his charm. Then why is she ignoring him, David thought darkly.David is angry because Thea dared to utter another man's name in front of him. He did not answer her question. Instead, he looked at her with a perplexed expression.Thea looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to tell her where Darius is. But the angry look in his eyes rang alarm be
