INICIAR SESIÓNSERAFINA The summoning.. I had already realized three hours later after creating the barrier, that two things might happen after this ritual. Actually three things but the first was unavoidable, being that I was definitely going to get caught later on and have to face the consequences of my actions. The other two were that I might die from this..Or live and summon the guardian. And even if I did summon him, how sure was I that he was going to have a positive response? My thoughts were clearly consuming me, and I felt fear clinging at my throat. Though I have been having the feeling ever since I made the resolution to do this, it was more pronounced today.. So invested in my thought, I didn't notice when the sun set into the horizon, casting a colourful hue on the earth. To others, it would probably be a very pretty sunset. But to me, I was reminded of the endangering step I was about to take. I just had to keep reminding myself that I had nothing to
SERAFINA “Who the hell are you?” I croaked, dragging the strong arm that was fast restricting my airflow. I tried sniffing her out, as I had regained my power of smell, but there was no scent around her. She was wearing the same granine perfume I had on. She tightened her grip, pulling hard at my hair. If I didn't act fast, she was going to subdue me. I quickly elbowed her, illicting a painful groan from her. “Let me go..” I shoved hard, pushing her backwards with my weight, until we crashed onto a shelf and hit the marble floor. I was at the losing end, if I got caught with a book of black magic. “Let me go!!” I thrashed harder, weakening her grip on me. Grasing the open chance, I struck her with my elbow against and bit into her hand. She winced loudly, finally letting me go. As much as I wanted to catch my breath, finding out who my assassin was, seemed more vital. She made to leave but I quickly grabbed her leg, pulled my da
SERAFINA The plan would be sealed tomorrow. Whether the heavens liked it or not, nothing was going to stop me tomorrow. If they thought I had given up on him, they’d better have a rethink. Finally, the lights to the library went off after which the keeper locked the glass door and shuffled the key into his back pocket. I waited for him to walk back to the parvern where he would submit it, so I could sneak in and take it. My plans to summon the guardian would be finalized tomorrow and by next tomorrow on the night of the full moon, I would finally have a chance to give him a piece of my mind. Its been fourty days since the day I had rejected him coldly, and I was still nowhere near my senses. But despite everything we had given through, the fate of Rapheal's death was still on. So I decided to take matters into my hands. I had already come too far to give up. Besides, I had nothing to lose. Marionette had no idea about my movements, a
RAPHEAL “What do you mean?” I demanded, holding my gaze against his unsettled face. I was gathering ever single restraint in me. “I don't know…” he hesitated again. “Rapheal, please I need you to calm down.” “But the temple..” I chipped in, ignoring the news he just announced. “Serafina is there.” “Turns out it's a fake address.” He sighed. “It never existed.” My eyes narrowed. “Is this some kind of prank?” “I understand how you feel but we have to be..” “Be what Ruben?” I queried. “Am I supposed to leave her in there?” “You know where she is?” Is this some kind of joke? “The temple of course!!” I yelled with thin patience. “Look Ruben, I know you are concerned about me but this isn't the time to make silly jokes.” “I should be saying that same thing to you.” He replied. “I just said the temple doesn't exist. The adress miss Ciara gave us is a fake. There is nothing like that in this whole wide world.” He wasn't joking. “So where do you
RAPHEAL “Serafina left you for good, Raphael.” “I warned you! Several times I tried to make it clear to you that she was not good for you. Yet you didn't listen.” I hated my mother. And I hated the fact that she was beginning to sound right. Going to the temple, passing out occasionally from exhaustion, getting hoisted back to my mansion, and waking up with half of my body attached to IV drips and machines had been my routine for three weeks now. Although my brain was cloudy, her words were as clear as a lake, ringing loudly in my ears and cruelly reminding me of my misfortune. I stared at the only thing I could grasp from her disappearance, the ruby heart shaped necklace. It had nearly cost an arm and leg to retrieve it from the station, given it was found at Don Columbus’ murder scene. Tears threatened to pool at the corners of my eyes, but I quickly pushed them back, as soon as I heard footsteps approaching. I suddenly became aware of my en
SERAFINA “Serafina!!” His voice resonated louder, as Ciara and I raced to the down floor. “Please Sera I need to talk to you! I promise I won't take much of your time please. I just..” the breaking of his voice twisted something in me. “How..” Ciara trailed off, wearing her shock on her face. “He's probably dead.” Someone muttered behind us. Pretty much everyone had gathered at the sound of his voice. The temple wasn't visible to humans, except they died some sort of painful death and was supposedly lost on the path to the afterlife. There in, the temple becomes visible to them and they come to seek help. In most occasions, they usually come bearing a grudge at the news of their death, and their trespassers are assigned to special missioniers. At least, eighty in every hundred task came from these spirits, while the rest were special orders from the heavens. Like Rapheal. There were off situations at time, like when someone cursed them so despe
RAPHEAL The loud buzzing of her phone the next morning resonated to our ears and interrupted our sleep. With her head buried on my chest, she let out a groan and snuggled closer to me. Her scent lingering, I couldn't help caressing her cheeks and the silk strands of her gorgeous blonde hair.
SERAFINA. A sweet aroma wafted into my nostrils and jolted me from sleep. Though I was still heavily drained by the escapades from the previous night, I was sober enough to realize that Rapheal was making breakfast and a warm smile crossed my lips. Slipping into my flops, I went ahead to
RAPHEALFew hours before: It all felt surreal. When my eyes fluttered open, the first thing I saw was a white blinding light. I thought to myself, that this was me facing judgement. Until the sound of a beeping machine interrupted my thoughts. That was when I glanced around realized I wa
SERAFINA How did I get here? I think I know. I was trying everything within me not to think about Rapheal. So my best bet was to go on a man hunting spree for Don Columbus. And now, I was being skeptical about having made the right decision. With a swift turn, I stabbed th
