TAYLOR’S POVI opened my eyes and I saw nothing. There was just darkness and that light except unlike before, the light was flickering, dwindling. I wanted to reach out to it, to go to it but I couldn’t move. I couldn’t breathe. I felt dead.“Mother. Mother. Mother.” I called out, she didn’t answer instead the light went off and everything was peach black. I lost my voice immediately after it did.‘What’s going on? What’s happening? Mother. Zephyr. Oscala, van someone here me? Hello.’ I tried to communicate with my mind but even I knew it wouldn’t work. ‘Is this the work of the witch? That damn witch. That sick, disgusting witch, I’m going to kill her. I’m going to kill her’Out of no where, someone began to laugh. His voice, it was awfully familiar but I couldn’t wrap my head around who it is was. Hell, I couldn’t wrap my head around a anything.“Oh Taylor, even in this situation you find power from thinking of how to crush someone. You are always amusing.”‘Wait, I think I have f
CH174OSCALA’S POVI heard Taylor’s scream from the end of the main hall. I had the duty of keeping the guests safe but now but scream, to me, meant the world had come to an end. I left the guests, rushing out immediately. I ran faster than I had ever run before, crashing into anything and everything in my way.She was on the top of the platform, on her feet and striding backwards. She was definitely going to fall. I raced up the stairs but I couldn’t get to her before she fell. I screeched to a halt in the steps and catch her.Something on her burned my hands immediately. I let go. It was a reflex, before I could think I had already done it. Taylor fell fasting, hitting the ground before I could reschedule her again.“Oh hell, Taylor!!!!” someone from somewhere else screamed her name. I didn’t have time to think of who. I just rushed to her, conjuring a spell and sealing of the dark Magic infecting her body.I was on my knees, over here, looking at that was left of her body. She wa
TAYLOR’S POVI ducked her punch, her kick and another punch. She kicked me again, almost hitting my stomach. I summersaulted backwards, landing with a split. “Acrobatics, that’s your big plan for beating me, how cute. But it won’t do much for you because I have more the kicks up my sleeve.” She set up fore on her hands and threw them at me. I dodged the first immediately but the second grazed my shoulder. My clothes caught on fire and spread fast. It turned like wolfsbane. “Ahhh!!!”I screamed, ripping the robes off me immediately . Now I was down to my undergarments. My skin had been burned a little. “How does it feel huh. It hurts right?!!”She laughed maniacally. “This is just the beginning of your pain. When I carve your heart out, you and that worthless mother of yours will know how I felt when my lovely family stabbed me to death because they all thought Witches are curses.”“Bo ho.” I raised my head. “I’m I supposed to cry over your son story. Frankly when I saw you lying dea
ZEPHYR’S POVSo far, the anniversary party was going well. All the guests I had invited had arrived as well as some others I didn’t know. The feast had began and some of the visitors were in the main area, watching the dance show. The others were helping themselves out to the food and wine. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong so far. The hour for the TOAST was drawing near. I stood up to get the two wine glasses we needed for it. I couldn’t sense Shadow anywhere so I presumed he must have spotted a minion and followed him. I gave Taylor my hand and she took it. We stood before the crowd and ordered that the music be lowered so we could speak. The DJ was on it immediately, the dancers finalizing their act and the guests directing their attention to us, one at a time. Soon we got everyone’s attention and a little unwanted attention as well but we didn’t notice that. “I believe I have all your attention.” I started, letting Taylor come close enough for me to put my hand around he
THEODORE’S POVANNIVERSARY PARTY DAY “So what’s the plan?” Zephyr gestured to a large table inside the underground room beneath the library. Daisy, Taylor, Oscala and a man from the shadows, were with us, standing by the table. I joined them. Zephyr came up to us, and placed a sword before everyone. “This is the only weapon under the heavens that can slay the witch. Eden has informed us that she will definitely come for the party so let’s all be expecting this high table guest. Taylor and I will keep the show going up stairs. We will entertain wolves from all Kingdoms, watch the dramas and play your regular lovey-dovey couple, meanwhile you Theodore and your wife, Daisy; the both of you will enter the dungeons and free Taylor’s parents.”I looked at Taylor. She whispered to me. “Keep them safe.” I nodded.“Once you get them,” Zephyr continued. “I want you to leave through that secret hole in the whole. You will need to watch your step because there are bodies there.”I grinned.
OSCALA’S POV“I know how you feel but this world isn’t like the one you once knew. Power is safety in this world. Taylor had so little power so she was never really safe even now. You aren’t hurting her by giving her that power. You are saving her.”She rose her face and looked into my eyes. “I know but…. It’s still hard.* She blinked, her tears glimmering an vanishing as they dripped from her eyes.“I will restore her power. I will let her unlock them but only when the time is right.”“Fair enough.”She let out a deep exhale, stroking her cheek so it would feel like stroking Taylor, then she looked up, preparing herself to return Taylor’s sprit back. That’s when I asked. “Hey, the Oscala who once owned the body, asked a favor of me.”SHILA glanced at me.“He said,” I continued. “That I should ask you who it was you have up your power of goddess for? And he also wanted to ask, why it wasn’t him?” “Tell him that when he man’s up and gets back his body, that’s when I will tell him.”
