Using the magical needle, Katie pierced me on the stomach and just like that the black thread turned red after getting into contact with some drops of blood. She then withdrew it from me and did the same to Anu. But this time the red thread just disappeared so she withdrew a needle alone."The thread. Where did it go?" I asked. Just a few seconds later, I got a strange and painful feeling in my stomach."Ouch. Ahhh.."I wailed."Catch her. I know this is very painful."Katie said.Both Smith and father caught me up and laid me down to the floor next to Anu."What happened to her?"father asked Katie when he noticed that the pain was unbearable."The babies are shifting to Anu's stomach. That's why she's feeling this pain."Katie explained."But Anu doesn't have a womb. How will he...."father couldn't complete his question."You're right. Anu doesn't have a womb but Artie has one.This means they will shift together with the womb. They can't leave it behind."she assured them."You're so am
News about Noble's death travelled miles and miles and by the next morning, everyone in the Jungle Dark world knew about it. People, demons and some powerful witches gathered at the throne headquarters. The reason for their gathering wasn't known yet.My heart pounded so hard and loud the moment I saw them coming. I thought they had come to protest against father. I knew they had come to punish Noble's killer but all this was answered the moment I found out that Noble's death became a victory for my family and the Jungle Dark world at large because he was a selfish king who cared only for his family, neglecting the citizens.I never knew that everyone hated him this much because instead of mourning his death, demons and people celebrated and congratulated father for regaining the throne back.All this caused much anger to the owl's heart as it was visible right on its face."Am I the only one who can see this owl? It seems like other people can't see it. I have to ask someone about i
That night everyone looked happy except for one person, my father Lucie. He looked to be lost in thoughts."Excuse me Anu. I need to go and discuss something with father."I said before leaving Anu's side."Father."I called but he couldn't hear me because of deep thoughts. "Hey, what are you busy thinking about?"I said and this time he heard me."Artie dear."he said positioning his hair with his hands."It's clear on your face that you're thinking about something heavy. What's that father."I asked."It's nothing, don't worry."he said but it was visible on his face that he was worried about it too."Don't hide anything from me father. We're family not strangers. You can tell me anything please."I insisted."There's no point in sharing this with you my dear because it doesn't have a solution."he said."Just tell me please. You never know I can find a solution for it. Believe me when I say that I can do the impossible for my family."I said."Actually the thing is my heart still wants to b
"My babies, you know I can't do anything that would save us right now. I know you heard everything he said, that am helpless and indeed I am. But you aren't helpless, right? I know you're weak to do something but I have complete faith in you that you would find a way to inform your father about this. You have to tell him that we're in danger so he can come to our rescue. Please try and find a way out."I talked to them. I wasn't sure if they'd do something but I had a feeling that they would try somehow.Evening came and the room became darker than before that I could barely see anything."How am I going to deliver in this darkness? How will I be able to save my children from this monster?"a lot of questions summoned to my mind.I never felt like a loser before but that night I felt defeated. I felt what every loser always feel after getting defeated.Time to give birth reached but I had no one by my side to encourage me, just like how Mike pointed before."Are you enjoying the moment?
"You can't tell me that you didn't see or hear anything. How did you go to that strange place? Who took you there and what happened after you had given birth?"he was unable to control his anger.I couldn't get annoyed with him for talking harshly to me. His anger was justifiable.I thought that maybe if he vent his anger on me he would somehow calm down but that didn't happen.The more he scolded me, the more furious he became."You need to tell me anything that you felt, heard or saw when we were away. Tell me now or else I will force you to."he shouted."Yes Artie dear. Tell us something. We'll be able to find your son and return him back to you. Tell us please." Mr Smith said."You don't need to worry or get scared of anything. Your father is here, everyone is here to take good care of you. To protect you and make sure that you're doing well with your babies so please tell us what you saw. Did those people kill him or something? Did they threaten you? Am sure they did. Maybe that's
The naming ceremony was a success with the first son named Manu and the second Mani.Manu meaning "greatest" and Mani "the moon".Everyone left in the evening so we had to sleep.Anu decided that he would sleep in the babies' room. The rest of us went to our bedrooms as usual but something still felt strange with me. I wondered how they managed to find Mike.Ignoring the feeling I slipped into my white nightgown and in no time I was already asleep.There came a nightmare about Mike. He wasn't angry as I thought he would. He was smiling instead."Did you like my surprise?" He started as he came very close to me."Don't touch me."I barked at him. "And what surprise are you talking about?"I asked."Your moon."he simply replied, making me confused."My moon? What do you mean. I don't have a moon."I said."What's the point of calling your children names that you won't recall their meanings."I sighed.His statement reminded me of my second son, Mani."How was he a surprise?"I confusedly as
A moment alone, I tried to rethink what mother just told me. I then thought of something.Guess what! I thought about my babies and their protection. "I must make a wish for my babies' sake if not for myself."I thought. "But what wish shall I make now. Should I ask for the magical black threads or something else? The black threads will keep them out of any danger and if I ask the shooting star to keep them away from Mike, it means that something else will be easy to happen to them.What do I do now. What should I ask for?"I couldn't find a choice."Am sure Mike is going to make a wish too since he has heard mother talk about the shooting star. But what will be his wish?"I wondered."Oh Lord, please make me the second demon to see the shooting star. I promise I won't ask for something else hereafter."I prayed.Some few hours later a strong strange wind blew outside and it just felt like an earthquake."This means it's already dawn and the star is about to shoot. Oh Lord, don't make m
"I said stop right there otherwise I will be compelled to hurt you."he warned but since I wasn't in my normal self I didn't listen. I wasn't scared of anything at the moment. All I wanted was my Mani.Grabbing the color of his shirt I slapped him so hard on the face. "Ouch! What have you done Artie? What are you doing. You're hurting me, am your Mike remember."he said which made me more annoyed."You fool, who told you that am in love with you. Why can't you find a way to get rid of this obsession. I don't love you and I never will, do you hear me?"I said pushing him away."You're making a big mistake Artie. How can you just forget that I still have your baby with me. Hurting me won't bring him back to you but instead it will create more problems for him."he pointed.Something was forcing me to attack him as my heart told me a different story. My heart wanted to give up for Mike. "Who knows what he would do to him hereafter."my heart thought, it was a heart of a mother but my demonic
