Mag-log inJust as she was about to reply, the dungeon began to shake. Lightening struck thrice, and the whistle was blown.
"WHAT!!!!!" They shouted in unison. "Great god mother??" She called. "Leave! Now!" Her voice was high pitched, "You carrier of misfortune!!" *๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ Tiger was about leaving for work when a thought struck in his head. He wanted to confirm that it was really not Soda he saw in the bus. Carefully and stealthily, he moved towards the girls' room. Opening it, Soda was curled up in the bed with her siblings. She was really not the one, or so he thought. "Now, this is weird," he heard Lilac's voice and turned. "Grandma.." he started to say. "What are you doing?" "Checking up on them." "Is that all?" "Yes. I'll take my leave now." He let out a sigh of relief immediately he got into the bus. He looked around, trying to get a glimpse of the worker, but he couldn't find her anywhere and that confirmed his suspicion. She wasn't from there. *๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ Ralina kept pacing to and fro the dungeon. How the fuck did he find out?????? Things were already getting out of hand in the dungeon's court. She needed to find a way out by herself. Great god mother was already caught up in the storms of the cult to help her out of the mess she had created. "Wait!" She blinked in realization, "What was I thinking? Was I really going to tell her I have an alliance with our rival? Oh Ralina!!!!" *** "Alliance? With our rival??" Draco thought silently. There was really a betrayal in their midst!!! He left immediately. *** "Why exactly are you getting worked up? What if it was actually not you?" "What do you mean?" "What if the Ralina he kept moaning about isn't you?" "Ummmm... I didn't think of that, actually. I thought he found out." "Gosh!!! Girllll!!!" "I'm sorry." "Look, I gotta go." *๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ "Rihanna? What are you doing? Why are you wasting a lot of time in there?" "Mom!" Rihanna groaned, frustration creeping up, "Can you not rush me now? We still have a lot of time, don't we?" "Anna, we need to get there before the ceremony starts. My friend needs me by her side!" *** "Can't I choose not to attend?" "Get in the car. Now!" *** "Where are they going?" "I don't know, young master. But, it's a wedding reception." "Why today of all days?! I need my sister!!" "I'm sorry, young master, they've gone far." "Damnit!" He cursed, stomping his foot on the floor. "Dad isn't back yet?" "No, young master." He gritted his teeth, "That cheating bastard!" *๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ Lilac and Tiger sat in the kitchen, with Tiger assisting Grandma to prepare lunch. "Ma Lil?" Lilac turned. Tiger only called her that when there was a serious matter at hand. "The land has been polluted." "Tiger?" "Don't look at me like that. I know what I'm saying." "An alien?" "Exactly. She was on the bus with us on Friday..." He proceeded, narrating the whole story to her. "You thought she was Soda?" "Ma Lil, the resemblance was so striking." "I see. We'll talk about this later. For now, let's focus on the food." Lilac sounded so calm, but it wasn't the same in her mind. Her mind was in turmoil. Though, she refused to accept the fact that it was Soda, her mind screamed otherwise. *๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ *๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ "Problem with the girls??" Rihanna teased. "Can you stop?" "What's with the mood?" "For fuck's sake, Anna! Can't you read the room?" And just like, that he stormed off. *** Rihanna approached them at their table. "Oh, you were right, bro. She's here." "I told you. She's no different from the others. "What do you think I came here to do?" Rihanna was clearly irritated, "Ask if you like me? If you're going to date me? Come on. I don't have such bad taste, trust me." "You mother fucking piece of shit!" "I don't care about that. Anyways, I think it's high time you stopped putting the tip of your finger into the fire. It's time to stop touching the tiger's tail, because one day, someone's gonna push you to its mouth. Be warned. And, watch your back." With a forced smile, "Bye! I hope you enjoy your lunch." *** "What was that all about?" "Does she know something?" The speculation went on and on. "Can you guys stop?! I'm sure she doesn't know a thing. Let's go." *** "You know it's against the girls' code, right?" "I really don't care!" "A bit of order while I'm here." They all turned to see Rihanna. "Hey. I'm Claire," she stretched out her hand for a handshake. "I didn't come here for that. Trust me, I've got better things to do." The reply came out blunt and the girls were taken aback. "Just to let you know, there are eyes all over the place, watching you. Be careful." "What was that?" "Weird, if you ask me." *๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ*๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ Immediately Draco went in, the boys surrounded him. He tried to resist, but they were not budging. Soon, he was bound and thrown into the Green Parlor. Deer rushed in, panting. "Fucking let him go." "Sweetheart, your father already signed the contract. Here." As soon as she got hold of the contract, she shredded it into pieces. That was it. The old woman screamed. Loud. The heavens opened, and the final holding it snapped. *๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ THE DOWNPOUR WAS HEAVY ๐ชจ๐ชจ๐ชจWith that, they walked away. ***** It was Saturday morning again. Soda didn't want to go to work, but she had to. She woke up very early, heading to the bathroom. After dressing up, she took a deep breath in. She had gone out last time without much protection. She needed more because she couldn't afford to be seen by Tiger again. She stepped out of the room, but Lilac had other plans. She was already in the sitting room before anybody was up. Soda froze upon seeing her, then ducked to the side, to avoid being caught. "Oh my goodness! What is she doing here?" Soda needed to leave before the bus took off. "Yes!" she screamed silently as if remembering something, "The back door." She walked quietly to the back door, opening it carefully to avoid making a sound. *** "You're ready to go?" "Yes. Why are you up this early?" "I had something to do," she responded, her eyes on the door. "Ma Lil? What's the problem? You look worried." "I need answers." "Divine Enchan
Rihanna turned, running out of the room. "Anna? Where are you running to?" Mrs Leopard asked, confused, "What's going on in this house?" She sighed, going back to what she was doing. "I'm done here. I'm done, I really need to clear my head. I can't continue here. God, what's this?" She groaned. Mrs Leopardo had had enough. Her children were of no help either, always hiding things from her. She couldn't continue in a place where she wasn't trusted, she couldn't stay in a place where her children didn't see her as their confidant. She wasn't seen, wasn't considered important, and she decided it was already enough. Within a few minutes, her bags were already packed and she headed down the stairs. Her husband was still in the dining room when she came downstairs with her bags. "You won't even let me explain," he said, standing up. "There's nothing to explain, Mister! You cheated on me, that's enough explanation. The evidence is there, you didn't even deny it." Tears were
Mr Leopardo stood up, shock evident on his face. Never in the history of their marriage had his wife ever laid hands on him. And now, the slap was more than enough to know that he had really done something that broke the last straw on the camel's back. He rubbed his cheek, the pain stinging more than anything else. She proceeded to speak, but right now, her voice was laced with venom, anger, bitterness, and something dangerous. "For twenty - five years that we've been married, I played my part. Faithfully submitting to you! Doing all that you said without any form of complaints. Yet, this is how you choose to repay me? Sleeping with another woman? Building another family apart from this? You worthless monster!!! I never cheated on you, never got to have any relationship with other men, simply because you didn't want me to! And now, I find out that all those business trips for days, and extra meetings after work were to go see your new family?!" She paused and laughed, but it was
Ralph stood there, his heart beating frantically as he watched all of them pass him by and out of the room."I came in with something?""Exactly! You did. And leaving requires that same thing."Ralph spun around in fright. He exhaled heavy after seeing who it was, "What do you know about it? How much did you hear? How much do you know?"Rihanna chuckled dryly, "Can you be calm?" She stretched out her right hand and a circle formed around it; black droplets of blood. Ralph understood immediately."See? So, don't be surprised."Ralph sighed again, "To be sincere.......""....... we're all tired," Rihanna completed, "I am tired. We're all tired, trust me. And right now, I can't bear it anymore. I want to quit.""Really?"Rihanna nodded. Together, they walked to the class. Ralph occasionally glanced at her. He didn't trust her fully. He had learnt his lesson the hard way. Still, he wanted to pour out his heart to her; he had carried the weight alone for too long. Now, someone was here, wh
"OMG!!! SSS!!" Rihanna screamed and they ran out. "Have you found any?" She asked, they were still running. "Nope." "Dad?" "I guess he still thinks the sacrifice was accepted," Ryan replied, slowing down his pace, "And, in case you've not heard, we've been banned from the Dungeon and its environs." "What do you mean?" "You heard me right." "Oh no!! This is a disaster!" "Yep, and you've been branded the carrier of misfortune, so your case is far worse than mine." "Aren't we together in this?" "Oh, baby sis," Ryan said dramatically with his hand on his chest, "I love you so much, but my love doesn't go as far as this. I'm sorry," he pretended to wipe off imaginary tears from his eyes. "Such a betrayal. I hate you." "I love you too, baby sis!!!!" "Arrrrrrrrrggggghhhhh!!!" She groaned. *๐ค*๐๐*๐ค๐ค๐ค*๐๐๐๐*๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค *๐*๐ค๐ค*๐๐๐*๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค*๐๐๐๐๐ "So, you in?" "Yh, why not?" "Oh. Thanks, man." "You don't need to thank me. Uhhh.. I gotta get going." "Alright,
*** Divine Enchantress was not believed to be a being as no one had ever seen her, except maybe, Dagger. The inner palace of the dungeon's court was bright yellow all over. Divine Enchantress' throne was covered in a yellow silk material. A barricade stood between the throne and the rest of the palace where the commoners of the court sat. *๐ตโ๐ซ*๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ*๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ*๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ*๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ "Whatever the cost is?" "Yes, M'Lady," "The foundation," Divine Enchantress muttered. "The foundation?" Both boys chorused in confusion. "Once upon a time in a far away land......" The earth began to tremble. A strange and heavy wind blew, throwing the boys out of the dungeon. *๐ตโ๐ซ*๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ*๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ*๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ*๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ตโ๐ซ "Weren't you told?" "Told what?" "You and your mate have been banned from entering into the dungeon till whenever Divine Enchantress reveals herself to you." "What do you mean?" "I mean what I said. Out."
