Morgan Marguerite sighed, tousled her hair, and shrugged off. "You know I had no choice, Theodora. There was no way I could've saved you and saved myself. You should be thankful that I gave my life in exchange for yours."
"Yea, whatever," Theodora scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Save me the preaching and answer my question. Why are you here?""Ain't you overdoing your torture on them? Isn't it time for you to move on with your life and let the past be in the past?""It isn't, mother. I'm not yet satisfied. I'll never stop till every one of them dies.""I feel it's time to move on, daughter. Get a life of your own. Get a man. Make babies. Be happy and forget about the past.""Don't tell me that shit!" Theodora suddenly yelled and a great thunder rumbled. "I lost you! I lost father! I never felt motherly and fatherly love and you're asking this of me..." She paused, blowing in hiccups and with just a stare at the mirror hung on the wall it shattered."I know how you feel daughter...""No, you don't! Yea, you died so I could live but do you know how I suffered to get food to eat? Do you know how I got clothes? Do you know how I felt those nights I couldn't sleep? Do you know how I felt those nights I felt cold due to the coldness of the cave? Do you know?""Daughter," her mum called and tried to hold her but she flinched and jerked away from her."I grew up in pain, sorrow, and misery. For days I battled things unknown. Battled with my deep emotions. Battled with the hate that wanted to overwhelm me until it finally did when I couldn't control it. Alone I mastered my powers. I had no fucking body by my side! Those mortals took away love and happiness from me. And you think I'll let them have those? Never!"Morgan Marguerite turned her back on her and great air began blowing roundabout her. Her skin began glowing and her red-colored eyes changed to dark green. Her hair began flying around and all the hair on her body stood on end. "Your father also feels you're overdoing this."Theodora's eyes widened and she strolled to her mum. She turned her over and cupped her cheeks staring deeply into her eyes. "Who is my father? Is he alive or dead? Is he a witch like us or a mortal?"Morgan Marguerite stared at her without saying anything."Speak!" Theodora growled, glaring at her and her body began glowing as well but her mum still said nothing. Her mum stared at her for a while and without uttering a word vanished."A dark cloud hovers around you. Beware of the male on which the sun sets upon cause he shall be your weakness and if care is not taken shall also be your doom. Be warned." Even though Morgan had already vanished, her last words still resonated all over the place.Morgan furrowed her brows and ran her hand through her hair. 'What does mum mean by all that?' She wondered. 'And why is it hard for her to tell me who my dad is? What is she keeping away from me?'"Gosh! I'm tired of your secrets!" She wailed to the empty air, stamped her feet, punched the air, and stomped out. ***Daniel and his mate Daisy arrived home after several minutes of walking and sauntered inside his room, their breathing coming out in short waves due to how long they've walked."I need to freshen up," he whispered and without waiting for her reply, stripped and ambled to the bathroom. Daisy watched him walk into the bathroom and smiled. She stripped and joined him too. Both walked out minutes later, dressed up, and relaxed on the bed getting engulfed in the thoughts of all that happened earlier.Daniel unknowingly slept off while thinking and while he was still sleeping, Daisy quickly prepared Pastry. She dished it into a flat plate, dropped it into a tray, dropped two glasses of wine, and strolled back into the room."Baby," she called, patting the sleeping Daniel. "Wake up, baby. Food is ready."The sweet scent of Pastry slipped into Daniel's nostrils and he stirred open his eyes. "What's that smell?" He asked, rubbing his eyes.Daisy chuckled, dropped the food in his front, and swatted his arm jokingly. "That is what is smelling." She giggled."Hmm. Looks yummy." Daniel grinned and licked his lips. "I'm so hungry. Thank you, babe. Oh." He yawned and picked up his fork. He dug in and began eating. "So sweet," he moaned.Daisy chuckled and dug in as well, both feeding each other at intervals, their love so radiant on their faces. They finished eating after a short while and Daisy took out the dishes and washed them off immediately. She walked back in and checked the time to see it was midday. "I need to go, baby. My parents might be worried about me. You know I'm all they have. Please come and escort me."Daniel mutely nodded and stood up. "Let's go."Daisy entwined their hands and they walked out, giggling at any little thing they see.They got to her house and Daniel turned to leave but Daisy held his hand, having a worried look on her face. "What is it, babe?"She sighed and caressed his palm. "Promise me you will be fine and won't try anything stupid.""I've been fine all this while so why are you suddenly asking me to promise you that I'll be fine?" He asked with a raised brow."Just promise, baby," Daisy whined and pouted."Fine, I promise. Can I go now?"She shook her head, having a babyish grin on her face. "It's remaining the last promise. Promise that you won't try anything stupid.""But...""Please," she mumbled, interrupting him and blowing him a kiss."I promise. Now, can I go?""So you won't give your babe a goodbye kiss?" She pouted and eyed him.Daniel chuckled and gave her a quick kiss. "Now, can I go?""Bye," she giggled and rushed inside.Daniel shook his head, smiled, and walked out.He kept walking and was halfway to his home when the air suddenly thickened and he looked up as his face have been down only to behold the worst nightmare of Hilton Bale, Theodora standing before him with a grin plastered on her beautiful but scary face. A jabbing shock shook through him down to his bone marrow, sending electric shivers through him."Theodora" he breathed, wide-eyed."Relax, little Daniel, I mean you no harm. If I did, you wouldn't still be alive," Theodora whispered and smiled up at him.Daniel cursed incoherently and took steps backward. "You are a witch and your words are not to be trusted. By the way, I'm not little. Can you not call me that again?"Theodora chuckled and waved her hand in the air and a soft warm air began blowing around them. She took a thorough peek at Daniel and shook her head. "You're only but a kid to me, so I'll keep calling you little Daniel. You can't stop me, can you?"Daniel stared away from her without saying anything knowing that there wasn't anything in the world that can stop her from doing whatever she wanted and liked. He wrapped his arms across his chest not being able to stop his shivering body and kept looking around at every sound that chimed."I guess that's settled then, little Daniel. Let's take a walk. I kinda need company.""Why would I do that? I can't be seen walking around with a witch who does nothi
"He really challenged her...""A mere mortal like us. Does he want to die...""A snap of her finger will send him to the afterlife. "Don't he value his life...""Perhaps he's tired of living...""I pity his parents and lover..." Murmurings from the people began echoing as they came out of their hideouts having known that Theodora already left. With horrified expressions on their faces, they watched as Daniel walked home not minding the heavy downpour. Noticing the prying eyes, Daniel raised his gaze, glanced at the people with a smile playing on his lips, and waved at them. Most of them waved back while others had disgustful looks on their faces and refused to wave back.The downpour intensified, drenching Daniel's clothes and he began shaking vehemently. Wrapping his arms protectively across his chest, he lowered his head and kept walking until he came before his cottage. Without wasting another second outside, he walked in and instantly, the great downpour stopped causing his eyes
It's morning and the sky is glistening so brightly. Daniel and Daisy are cuddled up together as they rock bodies against each other's, enjoying the cool air brushing on their skins.Their night was one full of blazing hot sex sessions, which left them quivering in each other's arms. Daisy's moans were so loud in the air as Daniel kept pounding in and out of her wet hole in great ecstasy that she had to use his pillow to cover her mouth so that his parents wouldn't hear it. An action of hers that left not just both of them laughing but also Theodora, who never stopped watching them. Talking about Daniel's parents, the not-so-old couples have been hiding in their bedroom for days now. They hardly come out as they used to in the good old days because they are so afraid to die at this age and leave Daniel all to himself even though they know he is of age. They also advised Daniel not to ever go out. After all, they believe Theodora only kills those she sees outside but how surprising it
Daisy, who felt the tension radiating from Daniel stood up and slipped her hand into his, squeezing it softly. Daniel glanced at her and she winked and smiled up at him. "Let me handle this," she mumbled only to his hearing and he bobbed but at the same time knew that she will be wasting her time. He had always known his parents to be overprotective and a bit strict, the angry aura around them to him is not one that can be quenched without shouts and curses.Daisy cleared her throat and made a quick cross sign. 'Can I do this? I should as I'm the one who pulled him into this shit' she thought and breathed in and out. "First of all, Good morning, dad. Good morning, mum." Daniel's parents made no sign as if they heard her and she sighed. "You both are mistaken, sir and ma'am. It was just a game we were playing." She patted her forehead and ran her hand through her hair knowing that her words made no sense to even her ears but yet hoped they would accept it.Ivan Anderson and his wife A
"A father wants to hit his son?" Theodora asked in a voice like running horses and a great wind began hovering around. Series of lightning kept flashing and when it made like everything calmed down, she suddenly appeared, coated in a fire with a glistening crown on her head.The burning fire coming out of her lighted the whole arena and the people of Hilton Bale present bowed with their faces to the ground including Daniel's parents and lover who did even before others but Daniel refused to bow. He refused to show fear and clenched his fists. Glaring at Theodora, he made a quick sign and breathed in and out before taking a step towards her. Daisy noticed that he didn't bow and also felt his moving steps and shook her head whilst cursing incoherently. She raised her face a little and her jaws slacked. 'What does he think he is doing? Does he want to fight her? What the fuck is even wrong with him?' She thought and pulled him before he could go far but he refused to budge and flung he
"You must be in good in counting to realize what just happened by just glancing at the corpses." Theodora smirked and her face suddenly darkened. She stared at him and shook her head. "You were not even afraid to touch and kiss my burning feet and didn't even bother to ask yourself why you're still breathing even though you're inside a raging fire. How pathetic."Daniel's face reddened at her words and at that instant a force left his body. He suddenly let out a yell and ran out, while caressing every part of his body due to how hot he was feeling. He kept running, not knowing where he was going and not so far from the people, he saw a swamp and jumped into it just to cool his skin.While in the water he began gasping for air as he couldn't swim out of it and began sinking but a bright light suddenly skyrocketed him out of the swamp and threw him a few steps away, leaving everyone stunned apart from Theodora who had a blank expression."I brought you out of that swamp because I don't
The huge males holding Daniel left him as they sighted the stones in the hands of the people and ran into the crowd. The people created space for them and also gave them stones.Daniel detecting that he has been released, tried to run away, knowing that staying back would be the death of him but the people seeing through him fast enough, blocked him and formed a circle around him leaving him in the middle."Our hero wants to run." A female amid the crowd uttered teasingly and they all cackled and, began throwing both huge and little stones at Daniel, causing bruises all over his body.They stopped after a while and the huge males as if knowing why the people stopped, strolled to Daniel and stared deeply into his eyes."What did Theodora tell you when she stooped before you?" One of them asked, glaring at him."Nothing. She only picked up my head and dropped it back after staring at it. She didn't say anything," Daniel replied and spat out blood. He has never been a male to lie but at
The people of Hilton Bale stopped tossing stones the moment Daniel dropped dead, and with lowered heads, walked out, heading to their respective homes in sadness and pain. Their minds were crowded with thoughts of what they would do about their drinking water, which brought fresh tears to their eyes."See what you all did to him!" Aggrieved, Daisy wailed, swerving around with a scowl on her cute face. However, her eyes widened, and her jaws slacked when she found not even a single soul around the vicinity again. Everywhere was silent, and only the growls of animals and the singing of birds were heard. The sky was already dimming little by little, signifying that it was almost dusk, leaving her heart banging profusely. She stared back at the breathless Daniel, whose face had become so white with tears flowing freely from her eyes."What do I do now? He can't die this way. There must be something that can bring him back to life. There must be something!" She babbled in tears, her heart
