A confused Ethan stayed outside the house looking at Alice running hurriedly. Ethan was still trying to process what has happened. He closed his eyes tried to recall what has happened before. As he closed his eyes he saw the glimpse where his eyes emitted red light and he heard voices crying for help and an ancient castle. He quickly opened his eyes and looked at the house again and then quickly headed towards his home.
Alice silently walked towards her room making sure no one sees her. As she entered her room she had a sigh of relief. She then heard someone opening her room's door. As the door opened Sandra entered the room and looked at Alice.
"You are still not on your bed Alice?" Sandra enquired
"I was about to. Just was revising today's lesson." Alice answered.
Sandra looked at the room and suddenly her gaze went on Alice's room's mirror where Alice has placed a sheer scarf. Sandra mostly tries to witness Alice's activities via the mirror but for
You realize the ecstasy of pain when the dreams are fulfilled.
Ethan sighed and then both sat on a nearby lying piece of log. Ethan narrated his story "Alice since my birth I am experiencing strange behavior. I could smell and hear till miles, my speed and strength are unbeatable and I could survive without food only on juice for months. I have asked my Mom multiple times about it but she has told me she will explain everything when I will turn 17. I didn't mean to scare or harm you but I myself don't know why I am like this. Also, the reason I opted for night class is that I get heatstroke as soon as I go out in sunlight. I feel somehow I am cursed." Saying so Ethan took his palm on his face. Alice looked at Ethan and saw his helpless face. She touched his hands and removed his palm from the face and said "Ethan I trust you. I can understand what you are feeling. my life is also not so easy. For few days I am also experiencing certain strange things...Like I just realized that silver hurts me. I haven't experienced it before. Also some
Note: This chapter uses conversational style narration. The next morning Devina entered the kitchen yawning. She hasn’t woken up fully. She was furious to found no one in the kitchen. She hurriedly went to Alice’s room and banged on the door. Alice who has slept late last night opened the door with her eyes close. As she opened the door she was shocked to see Devina who was fuming with anger. Devina looked at Alice angrily and said “ Alice why are you not in the kitchen. Sophie will get late for school” “I-I am sorry Aunt De…” “Don’t waste the time here with your fake apology. Go to the kitchen and make breakfast and pack Sophie’s lunch” “Yes”. Alice bowed her head and headed towards the kitchen. Devina then walked upstairs and knocked on Sophie’s room door. After 3-4 knocks Sophie opened the door. “Sophie, you are not ready yet? You will get late for school. Hurry up.” Devina cried Sophi
As Devina and Chloe went into their respective rooms, Sandra came out in the living room. She peeped into the kitchen and saw Alice washing the dishes. She went to Alice and asked ‘Alice did you sleep well yesterday?’. Alice got shocked by the sudden question but politely answered ‘Yes grandma, I slept well. let me pour you some coffee and serve you the breakfast.” Sandra nodded and while Alice was pouring coffee Sandra asked about Chloe and Devina. Alice answered that they have finished the breakfast and are in their rooms. Sandra stood up from the dining table and headed towards Devins’s room and banged the door. Chloe( Devina’s body) opened the door and the color on her face faded when she saw Sandra. “Good morning Mom.” Chloe greeted Sandra. Sandra looked at Devina and said "cut the crap, Devina. I have made some rules. During breakfast, we all should eat together. What are you doing here? Come downstairs.” Sandra ordered. Devina nodded. Sandra then went to Chloe’s room
The day was quite long for Sandra who was waiting for tomorrow to find if Alice is the heir of the Celestial kingdom. Meanwhile, Chloe and Devina were mostly hiding in their room waiting for 24 hours to get over. they do not want anyone to find out about their soul exchange. Alice was in her room thinking about her secret magical powers and her true identity. she also meanwhile researched for the golden book and was wondering where it could be. In the afternoon when the clock strikes 3 pm Sandra went into her room and locked the door from inside, she then opened her cupboard and pushed all clothes on one side kept in the cupboard. There was a trigger at the back of the clothes. Sandra pushed that trigger and a secret door got opened from inside of the closet. Sandra went inside the cupboard door and then after few steps, there were stairs that lead to the basement. She went into the basement. it was dark and you cannot see anything. Sandra looked at one of the corners which
Finally, the day has arrived, a day that is slowly gonna turn into full moon night. It is afternoon. Sandra is in her room waiting for the right time. Chloe came into the kitchen searching for food. Alice is wiping the dishes and putting it into the drawers. Seeing Alice in the kitchen Chloe asked, "Alice please order a pizza for me and Devina." Alice nodded. "What flavor of pizza you want to have?" Alice asked "Order Hawaiian Pizza for me and Pepperoni for Devina" Chloe instructed. Alice bow her head and went into her room and opened the laptop. She went to the pizza ordering site and tried ordering but got an error saying " The server is in maintenance mode please order by connecting with our virtual assistant" Alice opened the virtual assistant chat window and typed " Hi, I would like to order 2 large pizzas " As the virtual Assistant started typing Alice put her hands on her head "Certainly Mam. I am Ethan your vi
Sandra reached the cave at the exact time. Lahkesis, Atropos, and Clotho are sitting surrounding a square box. Sandra asked, “What is this box for?” Atropos replied “We will have to place the ring in the middle and we will read some verses which will connect the ring to its owner. The ring will fly and take us to the ring owner.” Sandra “Ok and why do you have a headband placed next to it. If I am not mistaken it is Alice’s headband" Atropos got shocked with sudden question. She tried answering but fumbles. Lahkesis then reverted “This is to check if Alice is the owner of the ring. We needed Alice’s belonging so we are using this headband.’ “Why do I sense something fishy. You better not be playing games with me.” Sandra said in an evil tone “Witch do you want us to perform ritual or not?” Lahkesis said in an annoyed tone. Sandra suddenly changed her tone and said "I was joking. Let us start the ritual.”
Within fraction of seconds, Ethan reached into the forest and sat on the log where he and Alice sat last time. to pass his time he started playing games on his phone. In few minutes Alice reached the spot sweating and panting. Ethan saw her and said “I could have picked you from your home. You are so tired.’ Alice looked at him still trying to catch her breath and said "Never mind. I have something important to show you” Alice took out the phone from her jeans pocket and browsed to phone gallery and opened one of the photos. Ethan’s eyes were open wide seeing the picture. It was a picture of the golden book. “From where did you find this?” Ethan asked Alice narrated the entire incident. Few Hours Back Alice was in the room tidying her cupboard and thinking about the voice she heard from the bottom of the floor. She came out of the room and went into the kitchen. Th
“what?” Alice was shocked to hear that. Before she could react Ethan felt immense pain in his chest and he cried. Alice got scared and asked Ethan what has happened to him. Outside Fate sisters cave the ruby ring is flying in the air. Sandra and fate sisters are following the ring. The ring is traveling towards Ethan. As the Ring started moving more close to Ethan subsequently the pain in his chest increased. Alice ran towards nearby bushes and plucked some leaves and came back near Ethan. Ethan is now lying on the floor. Alice put the leaves on Ethan's chest and said “ These are herbal leaves. This will soothe your pain”. As Alice touched Ethan’s chest and put her hands on it she felt immense power in herself. It seemed that her magic powers which were dormant till not got activated suddenly. The ruby ring traveled from the cave to the oceans and after crossing the ocean the ring finally reached the forest where Ethan and Alice were present. It was completel
