Jasmine told Jabal everything Ariana had said and he accepted to visit Alora once more. When it was time to go home, they said goodbye to Beverly and Alvin and went to meet Jamal. After explaining everything to him, he also agreed to go with them. They headed for the car park and entered their car. They sent their driver home, after convincing him they needed to go alone. Jasmine was to drive. She could still remember the road to Alora's house. Jamal sat beside her and Jabal was in the backseat. She drove out of the school and soon, they were on the road to Alora's house. The atmosphere in the car was naturally silent. Jabal plugged his earpieces to listen to some music. While Jamal was starring outside the window. Jasmine was more concerned about getting to Alora's house quickly.
**The car came to a halt and they all stepped out. Alora and Ariana were waiting outside for them. They all went inside. "You suddenly stopped coming to school, Alora. I've been worried abAriana taught them to prevent their dad from reading their minds just in case he suspects any foul play. After coming to an agreement, Jamal and the twins returned home, to get ready for their journey. They will be skipping school for a week and some days to find out who they are. Knowing their real identity, as Ariana said is the first step to knowing what to do next. When they got home, they headed to their rooms to get ready. They will have to get everything ready before the sun goes down. They won't want to leave anything out, since it isn't a two to three days journey. They will keep a note for their dad, so he won't have to worry about them. After getting everything ready, they met in Jasmine's room to talk more about their journey. They sat down on the couch with a big bowl of popcorn and three glasses of fruit juice. Jabal shoved a few pieces of popcorn into his mouth, munching it. "So, what's our next step?" He asked"Before we say any other thing, do you trust Ariana?
Anderson was in his room when the twins and Jamal left the house. He had suspected they had plans but he never knew they were going to leave the house. He was on his way to the kitchen to get a glass of water. When he saw Jamal sneaking out of his room, into Jabal's room. He hid himself to see what was going on. He saw them come out of Jabal's room, as they head for Jasmine's. By the time they got to her door, already out of her room. He could hear them whisper to themselves. Without going to the kitchen again, he returned to his room and was by the window watching them sneaked into the car, not after giving the house the last look. He sighed as the car drove out of the compound. He wasn't sure where the twins were heading to and if they will be back before dusk but he suspected that they might have left to find answers about their identity. Although, he doesn't know why they wanted to find out more about their identity, and why they had decided to skip school, he was sure they won'
Alora brushed her hair backward in frustration. She sat down on the couch. Ella couldn't help but pace around. She was still in shock. She was shocked that Ariana could think of going to Alaska with the twins. What was she even thinking?. Doesn't she know the risk?. Alaska isn't a place for the weak. She groaned. They are still kids. How will they pass the riddles?. How will... "Don't you think we should go after them?" Alora asked, jolting Ella out of her thoughtElla groaned. "We can't"Alora sighed. She was as concerned as Ella was. She hissed. Why didn't she noticed this might be their plan?. Why didn't she noticed Alaska was their destination?. She had noticed their attitudes when she came out from the kitchen with their tea, yesterday. They had stopped talking when they saw her. Though she knew they were up to something, she never thought it would be to travel to Alaska. She sighed. "What should we do?"Ella sat down. "There is nothing we can do for now. We will
There was silence in the car, with everyone lost in their thought. What danger awaits them? they don't know. How big or disastrous the danger will be, is hidden from them. If they will survive the danger or not, that also they know nothing about. They couldn't stare at each other's faces. "Ari?. Ariana" a voice called. They shivered. Who could have called Ariana amid nowhere?. Does she know someone here and did not tell them?. Ariana was afraid too. She was sure she doesn't know anyone here. Maybe that's the sign of the danger that awaits them. She feels the very moment she answers, they might be doomed. "Ariana?" The voice called again. This time, it was louder. They exchanged glances. "Ari, it's Mira. I just want to know if you're safe"Ariana batted her lashes. It can't be Mira, right?. She doubted it could be. But the voice, it seems she knows the voice. The voice is beginning to sound more familiar. It was the voice she had grew up to love. The voice she had spent most of
The rest stared in shock at Ariana. She can't be serious right?. This lady or rather woman standing right in front of them, can't be Rose. What exactly is she doing here?. To kill them or to take them captive?. They couldn't communicate with each other, through their mind-links for fear that she might be able to read them. Of course, she can. For a great witch like her, who had not only succeeded in putting fear in others but is also the black witch of the Ivory Coast. A rear title that's only given to the best witch in Earth witches coven.Their thoughts were cut short when the woman spoke up. "Good you remembered me, Ariana. You were a toddler when I last saw you"Ariana scoffed. She isn't in for Rose's talk. She just wanted to know why she had come here. To kill them or to take them captive?. "Cut the scrap. What are you doing here?"Rose hissed. "Rude just like her mother" she muttered. "Did you run away from home like you always do?"Ariana scoffed. "That is
THE RED-HAIRED WITCHES COVENThe door to the inner chamber of the white witch opened slowly and two little kids peeped into the room. "Not again, Kira and Kiran!!" A woman in her early forty shouted from the inner chamber. The little children ran off giggling as usual. It had been their routine to peep at her. They had always admired her beautiful white hair. Although she wasn't a member of the red-haired witches and was found half-dead some years ago. Every member of the coven loved and cherished her. Not just because she was beautiful, but because she was a kind-hearted woman and has helped make the coven stronger and safe from the hand of Rose.She dropped her knitting bag and stood up from the bed. It's been so many years since she was saved and brought to the red-haired witches' coven. She had been treated well with love. If not for her hair color which had made her different from them, it was difficult to know she wasn't a member. She touched the flowers arranged nea
THE HUMAN REALMIt's been two days since the twins and Jamal left the house. It was just like yesterday when he had watched them through the window, tiptoe into the car. He didn't stop them that day because he believed they made the right choice. But right now, though Alora had come to tell him that the kids are safe, he still finds it difficult to be at peace with himself. He has been out of work since they left. He couldn't concentrate at work. He sat on the stool at the bar section in his house. That place had been his solace zone. He couldn't help but drink himself to stupor. He has a great fear that Rose might find them and hurt them. Maybe he shouldn't have let them go?. Maybe he should have gone in search of them and brought them back home. He sighed. "Bethany!!" He yelledBethany rushed towards the bar. "Boss?. Your drinking again?"He ignored her question. "Refill"She shrugged off her next question. She stared at him with pity as she topped off his cup
UNKNOWN DESTINATIONThe road was becoming narrow and crooked. "I think we are getting close" Ariana had said four hours ago. "I think we are getting close" she wanted to say but was stopped by Jasmine."You don't have to say it again. You've said that four hours ago, and we are still on the road. It doesn't seem we are getting there anytime soon"The rest nodded in agreement. Silent returned. After a while, Jamal broke the silence. "Guys, you all did not notice we've been moving in a circle?"Jabal brought the car to a stop. "I wanted to say that too"Ariana batted her lashes. She just noticed that too. "Let me check the map". She brought out the maps from her bag and went through them. She chuckled. "Sorry guys, I think we followed the wrong map""Wrong map?" They asked in unisonAriana nodded. "You mean we've been following the wrong route?""No...""No what?""Chill, Jasmine. She's trying to explain" Jabal answered. He knows
