Bella's POVI sat on my bed, crying my eyes out and regretting my actions. I began to wonder what actually made me do the things I did."Ma'am Bella, two girls are here looking for you. They claim to come from your school" the butler came to inform me."Please tell them that I don't want to see them" I sent him away but he didn't seem to take my instructions as I was shocked and also angered to see Mia and Lakshmi in my room."You fool" I screamed and threw my slippers at Lakshmi's face but Mia caught it just in time before it could get to her. I was more than disappointed."I told you not to let anyone in" I picked up the other pair of my slippers and aimed for the butler who ran for his dear life."You have to calm down Bella, if not you may end up hurting someone" Lakshmi tried to advise me."And look who is giving me advice. You are in my own house and causing a mishap. Get out! " I yelled at the top of my voice."That's it! Mia we are done here. Let's go" Lakshmi held Mia's hand
"I'm really sorry, I cannot even imagine what it would be like to see your parents lying dead in front of your very own eyes" I sympathized with her."I didn't see their dead bodies. But our pool was filled with ashes, '' Mia said."Didn't your parents have any siblings, why did they have to send you to an orphanage? That's just unfair" Lakshmi lamented." They didn't send me to an orphanage. I used to stay with my Aunt, my mum's sister but I ran away from her. She abused me alot and I couldn't endure any longer, she made me feel so scared whenever I was around her, she even threatened to kill me when she takes my parents money, I was so scared for my own life so I had to run away but they still want me" Mia was talking very slowly which somehow made meuncomfortable but I just had to patiently listen to her narrating the whole story."Who wants you?" I found myself asking."The people who killed my parents, they attacked me once when I was being transferred from the orphanage I was s
Still at Banshee's house"No, I cannot lose her. She is the gateway to my success. The spell you have been working on to find Mia, how far have you gone with it?" The man raised his head to look at Banshee with his eyes that suddenly had hope."There is nothing I can tell you for now. The spell doesn't want to work, something is blocking my magic" Banshee was speaking before she was rudely interrupted."What could be blocking your magic? You are the most powerful witch I know so what could even dare to stand as an obstacle in your path?" the man was getting anxious and he began to sweat profusely. He had never been so afraid in his entire life."I don't know what is blocking it but whatever it is , it is very powerful, maybe even more powerful than I am. The only thing I know that can make my powers seem so weak and infertile is the caston gem.It is the only thing that can weaken my powers and take it away from me but luckily it is very difficult to get if not impossible. It can only
In the principal office at Mia's schoolLakshmi's POV"I still don't understand what exactly you want me to do Lakshmi?. What do you really want?" My female principal sat on her office chair facing me."I said I want a reconsideration concerning Bella's case. I feel that the school management didn't do justice to it" I kept on insisting."What type of reconsideration are you looking for? We gave her the punishment that fits the offense" the principal picked up her pen and was playing with it while she still focused her attention on me."You see, that's the problem I'm having. I don't want her to have a suspension" I was still firm on my words."Even if we are to give her an expulsion, you don't have the right to tell the school management what to do and what not to do. We know what we are doing" the principal was getting frustrated but I hadn't even started with her yet."I don't want that either. All I want is for you to call off her suspension, she has been absent for a week already
Still at Mia's schoolMajority of the students present in the hallway began to curse Mia, throwing all sorts of accusations at her but Mia didn't even respond in the slightest way. She wasn't moved by any of it as she remained in her kneeling position and kept on observing the boy.She was watching him very closely and then she tangled her fingers together before she pressed on his chest two times.The boy whom everyone thought was dead coughed out, he was still finding it difficult to breath,He slowly opened his eyes ."What's happening?" He said very slowly, he was struggling to talk and it was then that the ambulance the principal called arrived. Mia stood up from the floor and went to return the instruments she took from the laboratory."Mia you were great out there, I have never been so proud of you. You are a heroine" I hugged Mia as I helped her point out the spot she took the acid from."Thank you but he isn't well yet" Mia had a faint smile.
At Mia's orphanage.Mia's troubles seemed to be endless as she went from one issue to the other. Lakshmi dropped her off at the orphanage and waved her by when Mia began to perceive smoke.She looked at the orphanage and it didn't seem to be on fire, she went in and found some kids playing as usual.But something didn't settle well with her, when one of the staff went into the kitchen to prepare a meal for the kids, she turned on the electric cooker.Some kids were playing and they ran towards her in the kitchen."You can't catch me now" the little girl hugged the lady's waist as the boy she was playing with tried to go around the lady to get to the little girl.There was an electric problem and the first thing to catch fire was the curtain that covered the kitchen window. The lady tried to put it out by pointing water she got from the sink but that only made it worse and the fire began to spread.They tried to escape but the fire had spread quickly, surr
At the orphanageThe entire kitchen had burnt down and there was almost nothing left except for the lady whose arms were firmly wrapped around the two kids.Seeing this, the ladies who were restricting Mia freed her at once."Oh Aunty, I thought I would die there. Thank you for saving us" the little girl who survived the fire incident ran out of the kitchen to embrace one of the ladies that stood outside in amazement.The lady inside the fire was coughing along with the two kids who had survived the fire. They didn't last longer as they passed out.The fire department had arrived and they came to quench the remaining fire while the victims were rushed to the hospital. Mia isolated herself and went into her room, shutting the door behind her.The ladies who were restricting her earlier began to feel guilty as one of them tried to go and appease Mia but she didn't open the door for anyone.Mia was drowned in her thought, she began to feel like anywhere she
Lakshmi's POVI returned to my quiet and lonely home once again, at least that was what I expected the atmosphere to be like. My parents would have gone to work and I won't see them for another week or even a month.I rolled my eyes in disappointment and threw my school bag to God knows where, I was so sure a maid will come pick it up."You are not going to bring that boy to this house. I will never allow you to insult our marriage in such a disgusting way" my mum was running after my dad who was quickly making his way down the stairs."Veer! Veer!" My mum called out to him but he didn't reply."Veer I said stop there right now or else you will be signing divorce papers very soon" my mum threatened and finally she got my dad's attention."Really?" My dad was more than shocked as he turned around to look at my mum who had successfully made her way downstairs.My mum was about to say something when she noticed me standing at the entrance of the house s
