Startled the twins turn their attention to the direction of the noise.
"Who are you?" The twins simultaneously asked the intruders. There were three of them looking like a hungry animals."We were about to asked the the same question!" Replied the man who appeared to be the leader a huge man with two other companion who looks dangerously at them.
"Don't you know that you are on a private territory. You are obviously trespassing!" Andra bravely said
"Ha ha ha ha! For a pint size you're so brave, don't you realized that it's dangerous to walk around in this forest without an adult supervision?" The leader said sarcastically.
"As my sister said you are on a private property. You are an intruder here and it's our responsibility to sent you out of here." Anna declared, thte man turn their attention to her.
"Look! There's two of them. Quiet young but very good looking, this may be our lucky day! He he he!..." One on the men said.
" What if we tell you that we will not be pushed over by kids like you! But instead we will take you together with our prey." The other vampires said grinning evilly.
"Easy for you to say, you're just to cocky seeing we are just kids! " Anna said.
"Of course we will not be bulied by kids like you. We will bring you back with us to presentedt to our king Maximilian."
"Then I advised you to go back to your king and tell him to mind his own business and keep away from our property." Andra eyes has turn black with annoyance.
"Look she could be one of us! look at her eyes! " One of the vampires notices her eyes changing colors.
"What?" Andra was momentarily confused. These men are like her?
"Help... " The boy on the ground stirred and beg.One of the men attack them that had Alexandra surprised but not Brianna she block the vampire's attack on her twin sister direction and sent the attacker slammed against a huge tree.
"What the?" The remaining two was shocked . But that didn't stop them from attacking they were surprised at the abilities of the girls. One is so strong and the other is so fast, they were just kids but theirs abilities surpases normal human being.
But since they are more seasoned fighters and the advantage of their existence prove to the girls of their lacking in experience, they have the girls cornered. But as they are getting ready to take the girls they were astounded that they were render immobile.
The girls was surprised themselves that the men remained in their position.
"What is going on?" Alexandra yelled at her sister." I don't know but I think it's time to run!" Brianna said.
" No wait! Let me do this first!"She went near the still figures and slapped each one on them.
"Andta let's go! We do not know when they will start moving! " Brianna protested.
So they make a go for it and left the three figures immobile from whatever hit them. They were gone a few meters when they heard someone following them.
"Wait!" The boy tried to keep up with them despite being weak with his wounds.
"Oh oh! Let me handle him." Alexandra stop and look at the boy.
," No Andra! I know what you are thinking!" Brianna went back and carried the boy on her arms as they sprint towards their home.
Mira stopped at what she is doing , she's getting some wierd feelings as if she feels apprehension a little bit of fear and anxiety that she steps out of her laboratory and run outside the house.
Alethea seeing her reaction followed. They were able to see figures coming fast from a distance and they realized the twins are running away from something.Alethea felt that there was a breach of the shield that she had place and immediately chant a spell to repair it.
"What's going on girls? What are you running away from?" Mira realized that the apprehension she felt came from the girls.
Mama! Mama ! There are men who are strong with red eyes wants to take us.! " Alexandra said breathlessly.
" Vampires! " Mira realized.
Brianna came after turn over her burden to Alethea's arms.
"Who is this?" Alethea asked.
" We don't know grandma we found him in the woods with cuts everywhere his body. " Brianna also breathlessly answered.
Alethea and Mira clean and cure the wounds of the boy that the twins brought home.
Meanwhile after the twins left the place, where the three vampires was left immobilized. A creature appeared followed by a girl around the age of the twins appeared from where they were hiding among the folage.
"Cowards aren't they Momoo. These creatures will not be able to move unless we allow them. Right! " The girl said to the creature. Smiling.
" Coo,,,, coo. The creature who looks like a white bird with a long tail and a colorful head, replied and the girl seem to understand it. "Okay, but before we do. I wan to make themselves shocked to their appearance after the magic wears off." She said gigling.Then chanted and the figures was rearrange into a very intricate position.
"Cassie! What are you doing here? Lila had been looking for... Oh Wow what are you doing? " The newcomer said in awe.
" I am practicing my magic Lila would be thrilled." She said gigling.
" Let's get out of here before we will be discovered.'" Gia urge Cassie and Momoo.
Back at the mansion.
" What do you mean? Vampires here in our place? " Mira shivered at the thought that Maximilian might finally knew of the existence of her children and that she didn't died on that fateful night of the total lunar eclipse. Another thing is that the twins recounted about the vampires' freezing in their position.
That is one of her powers and certainly her children would enherit it . But she binded their power of freezing time.
When she and Lila were escaped from their kingdom many years ago. She told her that she was sure that all of the white witches either was killed or powers were bounded. Alexandra and Brianna's powers were bounded . She made sure that they won't be able to use that power they inherited from her before they are ready by their thirteenth birthday. To avoid the Vampire king Maximilian to be aware of their existence.
It makes her wondered who made the attackers of the twin freeze it was typically a white witch magic. Could there be another one like her was able to escape the black witches evil reign? Or rather the evil black witches found out about them?She is also considering of someone else although it is far fetch far the truth but she thinks that it was not impossible.
Another thing that worries her is that, if those vampires belong to Maximilian, this will trigger his suspicion that she is still alive and in the same way will make the existence of the twins known. She is sure that Max will use all his power to get the twins and that makes her worries because of Alexandra's rebellious nature. She will easily be succumb to Maximilian's greed and promises.
After the twin's retired in their room, Mira gather her friends telling them of the discoveries she made, and her anxiety she felt due to the twin's powers.
"The best solutions to it Mira is to tell them of the truth. So that they will be prepared mentally of what is their true nature." Alethea said.
" I do agree with mother. We already prepare them physically. They are trained for the art of fighting." Diego said he made sure that the twins gets the best fighting skills as they grew up, to be able to protect themselves and others in the future.
"I agree with them Mira, they will turning thirteen in two nights when the moon is full. Their binded powers will be released along with any other powers inherent to them. They are about to get ready for the coming development that will come. It's about time you have to tell them the nature of their birth. To make them ready emotionally. "Lila convinced her.
"But aren't you thinking that they were fathered by an evil vampire king? What if they will turn out just like him? " Mira is in the verge of frustration.
" They are not only the daughters of an evil being, You are their mother, and there is no one I know who has a pure heart, you are a good person Mira, and they were with you all this time certainly that goodness in you reflects on how they are being brought up. " Diego said.
"Not all of them are the spawn of the evil vampire king."
" What are you saying Lila? " Mira asked while the others heads turn to her direction, raising their brows in silent queries.
"I have a secret to tell." The white lighter replied.
As soon as Lila post this problem the alarm sounded. an attack at the northern border was noted. "I thought we will be at peace once we return victorious?" Cassie retorted. " There are just some old scores we have to settle to achieve lasting peace. There will be no short cut to it." The queen said. " I will face the enemies once and for all. She added.Thalia with the Warlock Lucius, with their men come face to face with the witches lead by queen Inah and her granddaughters "What do you want Lucius? " Queen Inah begun. " I have heard that the triplets successfully conquered the mountain of the rock statues." Lucius said. " I am amazed how the news travels so fast. They have not even warm their seats and then here you are. Go straight to the point Lucius, what do you seek. " The queen challenged. " I came to seek recognition for being their grandfather, and for the times you had me fooled believing in your blackmail I deserved justice." Lucius cockily declared. "Recognit
" Something is wrong why it still glowing?" The triplets are in panic something, they must find for that something to fit in that glowing hole on the altar. Then out of the blue they heard voices."Did you think that you will be able to get out of this victorious? Ha ha ha.... !" One voice said mockingly."Your ancestors had made grave sins against us and you carry the burden of their mistake. Ha ha ha... !" Another one said." Each one of you had made a selfish and grave sin against each other that you don't deserve to get out of here victorious unless you admitted your sins to cleanse you soul! " "Come on girls look inside your soul try to think what have you done! " Mira urged. " That includes you Mira! Ha ha ha ...! Did you think you have a pure soul? Only people with pure soul get out of here! " They all started to look for the most selfish things they have done. " I'm so sorry, I tried to kill myself after the vampire king had planted his seed on me . To prevent myself to
They spend their waking hours planning their time to coincide with the movement of the sun, the peak hours was at midday, where nothing can stand the heat and the whole area is turn to a vast wasteland."We will start at the break of dawn to take down those rock statues and try to reach the entrance for what is waiting for us there." Cassie said. Brianna counted the gemstones they gathered they were short compared to the numbers of rock statues."How sure are you that we are short Anna? Alexandra asked."I counted the statues I saw when I flew aboard bigbird with the bird people gathering food." She replied. "... And it doesn't include the others I didn't see considering we only fly up to where the rays of the sun doesn't touch us." She added."Then we have to make every gems count." Alexandra suggested."Yes you're right Andra, so we will divide the gemstones to our selves and try find alternatives to combat them, for example using our own power of the amulets, maybe we can als
When the triplet arrived at the foot of the highest peak of the mountain range, they were in awe with the view."Wow! It is so nice here as if we can touch the sky and we can see the whole area as far as our eyes can travel. " it was in the late afternoon that they landed after travelling for almost the whole daylight. The sun is on the other side of the mountain. Giving them the illumination from the reflection from the sky without see the sun itself. "Do you observe what I see? " Cassie asked her sisters " What is it Cassie?" Alexandra asked while Brianna turn her attention the vegetation around."The grasses and the plants around grows so fast." Cassie said." That's because during the early morning toward the early afternoon when the sun touches this part the earth the grasses dried up from the intense heat. It grows so fast when it was late in the afternoon towards the early early evening, and freezes during the night to kill it with it's intense cold." Brianna explain afte
"What the...?" Immediately the resting Alexandra reacted sending her bolts of lightning to pulverized the stones, while Cassie send her wind power to send away the pebbles and sands to prevent it to fall on them. Brianna mounted the bird to get an overview of their enemy. She immediately communicated though mindlink of her observation. "Brianna attack from the air! Alexandra defend from the ground! Momoo and will lauched an offensive from the ground to confused him. "Cassie directed her sisters.They fought the creature for a while, and the triplets ibeginning to get tired Brianna trade places with Cassie her crossbow is more effective when she get a better view of the creature.The creature also begun to become weary but his body was hard as rocks, his hand send stones flying in their direction use their shield to protect them , but it cause their attacks to be ineffective against the giant creature.Alexandra thought of a strategy to gain advantage to their enemy. "Let's do i
"I said that your powers are useless on the first mountain we cross . How was I to know will be activated here." He tried to explained. " So that means you never get this far before, or what I should say that you don't have information about this mountain. " Cassie inquired.evidently very much annoyed. " And I might add all the things you said about this is either lies or wild guesses?" Brianna seconded. Also much livid." I'm sorry, in my attempt to make sure you succeed I told you stories that are not proven but believe me I have the best interest for the majority, at heart." Deo wasn't able to deny what he is accused of, but he sugarcoat his admission to be able to gain favors from the triplets or at least have their sympathy."And I guess, that majority doesn't include us. You were just a liability to us." Brianna controlling her anger added. "... And to think you have fooled me eversince we met, I have defended you from my sisters, I choose to go back for you instead of m
