We stood in the forest for a while. I was lost in thought about what we just went through, what did my parents take from the two men and how did they end up losing it. What value does it hold that the men went as far as entering the Arsenal and stole whatever that object is for?

I looked at his friend, and he was naked. Blood coming at the corner of his mouth — Joseph just wiped it away.

“What was that? I told you never to follow those men. But you are way too out of control now. I know you want to find out who killed your parents. But putting yourself and my ass in danger wasn’t cool man,” he scolded as he took a jacket that I offered him. “And I’m telling Roland about this,” he spoke and began walking away.

I just ran towards him, “where the hell do you think you are going? I can open up a gateway and we will be at home in no time. And I’m sorry you had to go through all these things. I should have known better than to just follow the two men. I acted like a damn kid and I’m sorry,”

    I parked my car in a parking lot, to a rather elegant bar I never thought I would come to. But I had what it took for me to be here. I looked at Joseph and the man looked as bewildered as he could have managed.He was now dressed in military pants, a black t-shirt and sneakers. It was like I knew such will happen — carrying extra clothes for him.“What are we doing here? We just survived whatever that was about,” he demanded as he looked at me. “You still have bruises from the beating, and you are going to a bar. Dude,” he added.But it was the only time I might have with him here. The other times we might be running from whatever was coming my way. The two men that attacked me didn’t want to even know the person who killed my parents. He was that dangerous.And those two were a problem on their own. Whatever my parents stole from them. And they wanted me to find it when I did not know what it was and where my parents lost the damn thing to.So, I did get what Joseph was implying. But

    I paced around while Joseph and Roland sat on the couch next to each other. I have been trying to ask Roland about the people that just attacked me. The man was adamant and didn’t want to tell me a thing about them.Saying he knew nothing about them. But I saw through him. He can’t have been working for my parents for years and yet knows nothing about those two men. He knew something, and he was just keeping it from me.“Roland, I have the all night. We will be here until morning if you don’t tell me what my parents stole and who those guys are,” I said as I stopped and looked at him.After a few seconds of silence, he spoke, “I do not know. Your parents didn’t share everything with me. Only things that involved you. I wish I knew, but I have no idea,” he spoke.“And the man that killed them. What do you know about him?” I asked and took a sit to the opposite couch.“Justine, relax. Let the man go to sleep. It’s middle night already,” Joseph spoke as he patted Roland on the back.I th

    We sat in the living room for a while as Roland told me more about what he knew concerning Hope and Death. But it wasn’t that much of help except for their location. And that I needed to fight them with wisdom.That was the only way out. They were both smart and if I fight them with no strategy; I was going to lose. Get myself killed if I wasn’t careful.But I knew I had something I can use for them to work with me. Though I wasn’t sure if they were going to trust me after what my parents did to them. But I was going to give it a shot and see what will happen next. Though I was hoping against hope that this work.After a while, we all went to bed. I was so tired that immediately I slapped the bed I entered the dream world.*I woke to the sound of the breeze. Looking at the source, I found the window opened. I must have left the damn thing unlocked. Was I that tired?I hurriedly took a shower and after dressing up I went downstairs, only to find the people I wasn’t expecting to see at

    We sat on the balcony as she tried to convince me to take her back. That she didn’t know what she was doing. That it was a moment of weakness or something she put it look like. She was actually kneeling down as she begged for me to take her back.That was satisfactory to me. I wanted them to beg for what they did to me. Humiliating me and forsaking me. But part of me didn’t want that. They wronged me and no matter what I do, that won’t change.I lifted her from the floor and helped her back on the chair, “I don’t hurt you or any of your family,” I took the wine bottle, which I called using my wizard powers, and pulled enough into her glass. “You all did what you thought will be beneficial for you in the future and believe me you, I’m not against that,” I took a swig from my wine and went on. “Does Pit know you are here?” I asked, looking into her eyes.She looked down, “no. and I don’t care if he knows or not. Can we not talk about him? Please?” she looked at me again.She was a woman

    The day went by quickly. I have spent it at home the all day. Because Roland told me they will take care of things at work because they now know I exist and that I needed to stay indoors after what happened last night.The man they hired to look after the gate was well equipped with protective shields and the like. That was one of the reasons they gave him the job. What didn’t my parents do to assure my protection? Maybe they even stole what they stole from Death and Hope because they wanted to keep me safe. You can never know with parents.Then what Roland told me after Maria and her parents left hit me again. I was keeping anger inside. Allowing it to bubble up inside and grow. I needed to let go or that will cost me my life. Big time.I assessed my surroundings. The only thing I was able to hear were bird songs and the trees entangle with each other as the breeze blow.I needed to be alert before these two show up. They meant business, and they were going to kill me if I don’t give

    I sat at the log for some time since they left me. Thinking about what I discussed with them. Well, there was not much, but it was enough to let me know how important what they needed was to them. The Fatal. It kept them alive, according to what Roland told me.But a question that was bothering me was why Revoc took it from my parents if he was just going to kill them himself? It made no sense, and that was why I was in the forest meditating. I needed sometime alone with my thoughts. I needed to think about what I was going to do to survive this all crap.All I know for now is that I need to find the location of Revoc, and leave the rest to the dreadfour. But how I was going to find the location of the sociopath I did not know. All I was hoping for was that Roland knew something about it.He seemed to know pretty much a lot about my family. Which made me question how old he was for him to know all he knew about my family. He must have been the family butler for years and years.So, I

    I stood at the corner for almost an hour. And the two men kept on talking in cords. I was still unable to get what they were saying or who they were talking about. I wasn’t even able to make out any of them. Who they were or what they were.Though some of what they said connected to me and my family. I mean, they were standing in my parents’ house, which has turned old all the sudden. How that was possible, I still don’t know. I have been trying to figure that out ever since I got here, but nothing came to mind.Kept on pinching myself but this was happening. It wasn’t a dream. I needed to be here and wetness what was happening. That gateway was meant to bring me here. But why? I do not know who the men are or what they are talking about. All I know it is connected to my family and me somehow.Could one of them be Revoc? But who was the man that was stopping him from attacking me? That he should allow me to play and think I was winning, then he was going to strike. But if they needed

    I rolled to the side on instinct, and luckily, the fireball missed me. It slammed the floor with a thump and dust washed over me. Then with a wave of my hand, I swept the man from his feet and he fall flat on his ass.I scrambled to my feet at the same time as he did. He looked to be my age, maybe just two or three years order than me. His hair was short, just like mine, and he combed it perfectly. And he was clean shaven.Looking further, I realized he was the man I presumed to be Revoc from the two men. So he was just tricking me to make me think they had gone. But where was his friend? I looked at my surroundings, but he was nowhere to be seen, and I couldn’t sense his wizard's flavor.We circled each other for a while, and the all time he had the smirk on his face that sent a chill down my spine.He wore all black, the only thing deferent was his wristwatch.“What do you want in my parents’ house? And why does it look old?” I asked, with no hope of him answering those questions.H

    Chapter 219 Carl went flying as a bolt of lightning hit him. He then came to a stop upon slamming the wall. He then turned to me, smiling in the most psychopathic way possible. He waved a hand and my sister was floating in the air, I didn’t know what to do at this point. I told her to stay away and allow me to do this. But she would be damned if she ever listened to me. “Frazer, let’s just talk about this. I know you also don’t want this to happen. She is not just my sister but yours as well,” I said, raising my hands in surrender. I looked past him to Carl, but my poor cat was far gone. But I just sighed when I saw he was still breathing. I needed to think of what to do, and I needed to think fast. Just when I started liking her and accepting her into our family, this happened. I need to make sure she is fine. That I go home with her. I can’t lose her as well. Suddenly, the faces of my parents came to mind when I found them lying dead. I don’t want to lose her. I can’t lose he

    To say I knew what I was doing hundred percent I would be lying. Because all I knew was I had to put an end to my brothers' madness. How I was going to do that and if what I plan will work I didn’t know. But I was hoping for it to work. For everything to go fine with me and my family. I turned to look at Carl who was getting ready—well he was doing that by eating. Saying he needed energy for when my brother arrived. My sister, on the other hand, was on her phone. She looked and smiled at me here and there, but none of us talked. After Maria and the kids left the house with the others, I made a call to Frazer. Telling him we needed to put an end to this and that I needed to talk to him. He did mention that I should be alone—but I told him I was with Carl and our sister. And he was happy to meet her. At least that is what he said to me. So, now we waited in the living room. And the more we waited the more my heart raced. I just wanted this to be over, at this point, I wasn’t even thi

    Everything for a while felt normal. But it was a fleeting moment that passed like it was not even there. But again, I did appreciate everything about that moment. The talk I just had with her changed everything else in my life. I was reminded of why I married her. Why I loved her. And she reminded me again of what family is and what I should do in this situation. I looked at my sister as she sat on her bed, facing her back to me. I don’t think I have ever been in her room before. It looked grime—just had that dark vibe to it that I couldn’t comprehend. But after talking to Maria I just smiled and accepted her the way she was. They did say she was different from me. And change doesn’t come just like that. Baby steps I guess. She finally turned with a smile, “I’m sorry this is happening. I should have been here sooner to help you take down our half-brother. Your friend wouldn’t have gone through this if I was here.” I just smiled as I walked to sit next to her, “maybe that would

    Frazer wanted to hurt me the most. Not physically, but mentally. To play with me and make sure I break down slowly.He was going to enjoy that more than anything. He wanted me to feel the pain that he felt when he was a child. Alone.I can’t even blame my father or mother anymore. They weren’t good parents. But with him they did try. He just saw the bad side of us and there was no changing that.We explained to him what happened and still he was hell bent on making me pay for my father’s mistakes. Some people we meet.Roland tried to tell him what really happened but still he only took what he wanted to take from that story he heard.If he was to change, he would have changed by that time. I trusted him and allowed him to leave in my house and be a part of this family. And that was the reason we were here right now. Maria lost her sister and Alexander lost his mother. And Joseph lost the woman he started to fall in love with. I think.But all this was leading to one thing. And that th

    CHAPTER 215

    The reason I loved Carl and always wanted to talk to him about anything that happened in my life was because he cared for me. Because he never judged me and never scolded me or called my plans stupid. Yes, there are times when he doesn’t like what I’m about to do or what I have in mind, but he never says it outright. He was always objecting to my plans in a rather nice way. But also because he was here for me. And will do anything to support me. He knew what to say to you at the right moment. Well, maybe because he knew what was happening in your head, but either way I was just happy that my Carl was here and he will help me with what I have in mind. “Where did mother and father say they last saw Frazer? We can start from there. I will try to ask around, maybe someone has seen him somewhere,” he said calmly as he sipped on the wine. I just sighed as I thought about everything. I haven't talked to Roland ever since I came here. Apart from asking him what the hell was going on when

    Well, this was a lot to take in. It does hurt knowing your brother is a piece of crappy and the reason why most people are going through a lot. I have tried telling myself things will be fine and he didn’t mean anything he did. Maybe he was just upset that he didn’t want to listen anymore. But how far can he go for me to hear him? How long will it take him to learn something from what he was doing? I know we never give up on family, or anyone for that matter, but maybe my brother is long gone and the sooner all of us accept that the better. I can’t even face the people I call my family and the people I love because of what he was doing. Because of what he did I can’t be with any of them. Every time I look at Alexander I’m reminded that I’m also at fault for his mothers death. I can’t look at Maria without thinking that her losing her sister is somewhat my fault. I should have managed my brother a long time ago. I should have dealt with him when I had that chance. And the reason he

    Everything was happening too fast and I was failing to keep in touch with all of the things that were going on in my life. I never wanted this to happen to any of my family members. And Suzan was the last person I wanted dead. She wasn’t my favorite person in the world, but she was the mother of Alexander and as such, I wanted her to be alive and back with her family. Was this yet another one of my brother’s plans? He played this game before and that is why we are in this mess right now. Was he planning to do something even worse than the last time? I looked at Joseph and just kept rubbing my hand on his back. I didn’t know what to say or do at this point, this was the last thing I expected to happen to him or any of us. And besides, I never knew what he felt for her, all I knew was he was drunk that night and that is how he and her ended up sleeping together and Alexander came about. That was all I knew as far as their relationship went. Did he feel anything else for her? Was he

    Chapter 212 We entered the house and my eyes and my heart were filled with joy as I saw who stood in front of me. He looked old now, not that much, but he looked matured and his face was filled with fur. I just smiled as he smiled back at me, his eyes tearing up but didn’t make an attempt to move a muscle. And neither did I. I wanted to, but I guess none of us wanted to show my sister that we were weak and we couldn’t handle emotions. “You know you missed each other right?” She asked smiling from me to Carl. “He was crying every day because you were not there. And now he is pretending to be a grown up.” She added as an afterthought. I just looked at him and then walked to him, “I did. A bit. You left because you wanted to leave us behind. So, I didn’t miss you that much,” I smiled and he did the same. “But my kids wanted you. That is why I did everything I could to get you back,” I walked and hugged him so tightly I could fill his cat bones break. Then he said with a wizzed voic

    CHAPTER 211

    After a while we finally reached the palace for the queens. And the first person that walked outside the palace was my sister. Which only made me happy to see that she was still alive and well. I didn’t expect anything bad to happen to her, but I was just scared I guess. Scared that they might not listen to her and she might do something drastic to make them listen to her. But she was alive and well. I just sighed in relief. She smiled as she walked to me and Odin. Then stopped after reaching about three feet from us. “I don’t think you have been introduced yet,” I said, smiling from one to the other. I knew Odin knew my sister, but maybe she doesn’t know him that well. Hearing about him yes, but knowing him like I did no. “So, this is my beloved sister, and sister, this is Odin. An old friend that our parents decided to place in our lives. Over all, he is an amazing person,” I said and they just shook hands. But immediately they let go, it was like a reflex from the old man — he
