"How's this possible. Why aren't you falling down?" Pema looked shocked and disappointed.Pointing her magical stick to me, I began to fall at a high speed this time.I was about ten to fifteen inches above the water when I suddenly I stopped moving down again but this time it wasn't because of my babies'kick, an invisible force was controlling me from reaching the water. Moving my eyes to look around, I saw Anu and dad at the banks of the Sea. When I was going to call onto them, I saw Anu gesturing to me to keep quiet. Maybe they didn't want to be noticed by this skeleton old woman.When Pema saw me not moving down, she became suspicious. Looking around she didn't see anything since both Anu and father had made themselves invisible.Laughing, "am not a fool as you think I am. Ask your people to stop wasting my time. No one can save you from me today."she said."How did you see them?" I asked."My blood runs in Anu's veins so detecting him is like a game to me you see."she replied.

"How grandma?" Anu asked politely. He was afraid and scared by his grandma's curse. That curse was to affect all his life and the lives of his family, his wife and their children. So it was really necessary for him to be calm and careful about his soon dying grandma."Come here."Pema asked and Anu did so. "Bend over and bite my skull. If you succeed, my curse would become weak and if you don't...then... Consider this as a challenge where you will win or lose.""No grandma. Don't say such things. I have to win this challenge for the sake of my family. Why should they suffer for my mistakes.""Good. So carry on and bite me. You only do it twice and you can't go beyond that. The first time is considered a trial and then the final bite. If your fangs fail to break through and penetrate through my skull, then... Keep in mind that I don't have much time left. I need to go so be quick and careful. You might choose to bite me on delicate part of my skull and lose me before weakening the cur

"Artie please wake up. Open your eyes for me dear."Anu cried."She's very tired that's why she has passed out. She wasn't able to breathe well maybe that's why."Katie explained.Two hours later."Pema. Where's she? How did I get here and what did Pema do to my babies."I said the moment I regained my senses."Pema is no more. She's dead. And don't worry because nothing has happened to the babies. They're both fine.""Katie! How are you. How did you come here and why? Is everything fine?""Everything is fine my dear.""Perfect. How's Nikki?""He's fine.""That's cool then. Where did Anu and father go to. They haven't checked on me for hours. What's happening outside?"I asked."Noble called for them.""I don't trust that man at all. I know for a fact that he's up to something bad. I have to go and check."I said trying to get up."I will go instead. You still need to get some rest."Katie stopped me.Katie was shocked after finding Noble's men tying Anu up."What's happening here. Why are

"Now how are we going to get Noble's blood. I don't have any idea what we're going to do to get him shed some blood."I said."Noble is extremely powerful and clever. He reads minds too. Am sure he will be able to notice that we're after his blood and things would get worse after that."Anu peaked."Anu is right. So what are we going to do then. We must find a way to get his blood somehow."I said."You both don't need to worry about anything. Am here for you. I will take care of everything but I'll need your help and support."Katie said with a heavy smile."What do you mean?""Now that I'm in my normal shape, I can do anything I wish to. Remember I can turn into lightening, there I can strike whoever I don't like,kill and bury him if I want to and if I don't want to get rid of him, I can make him weak, powerless and helpless for some time.Or I can turn into rain and if I rain on someone am targeting, I make him weak, powerless and helpless still. There I can do whatever I want with him

"Oh no! What have you done Artie. You've given him a jug instead of a glass."Katie shouted but it was already too late to stop him from drinking it since his eyes were closed.According to the plan, father was to drink the whole glass without interruption."What should I do now Katie?"I asked in a helpless tone."Nothing. Don't interrupt him. He has to drink it all since we don't have any other choice.""Alright then."I nodded."But am afraid the antidote might put him in a deep slumber.""Deep sleep? Why so. I thought it was meant to break Noble's spell, right?"I was panicking now."Yes. The antidote was meant to cure your dad but you've given him excess. Am afraid it might become poisonous after spreading through his body and he might sleep for years.""What! Sleep for years?""Yes my dear, this antidote is too strong remember it was mixed with the king's blood and on top of that Noble is powerful himself. I wonder what will happen if our only hope fails us too. Dear Lord, have merc
