In no time, he got to the back door, swiftly opened it and rushed to block them at the gate.

He got to them, just as they were about to open the gate. Sofia bent her head, silently blaming Rita for what just happened. If only her and the scary fair guy didn't waste so much time, perhaps they wouldn't have bumped into this guy.

Too much unfortunate events happening at the same time. Sofia rolled her eyes, and stared at Rita who looked oblivious of the situation.

She really didn't know who Sofia danced with , so this guy was just someone she know.

“Uhm, were you following me?“, Sofia thought of all the possible ways to actually dismiss this guy and get going but he just stood there, staring at her, looking like someone who had just been relieved to have found something.

So she asked again, “Hello, were you following me?”. This time he seemed to have regained his senses and finally gave her the dumbest reply she had ever heard.

“I suddenly missed you and I wanted us to continue the dance

    She went closer and shook Rita vigorously, seriously trying to wake her up.She heard squeaks from the window, a high pitched sound that seemed to increase whenever she tried waking Rita. This continued for two times until she tried again..The sounds became higher as her window became wide open causing a heavy breeze to come inside.Sofia ran and hid behind the cupboard, things were getting worse by every second. She stared at Rita who looked deep asleep.“Why would waking Rita up be so much of a hassle?“, Sofia breathed heavily and pondered on everything that just happened. If she was some sort of a light brained person, she definitely would have thought that Rita had something to do with her current situation.But things were not actually what they seemed to be.

She lay still with her eyes darting from place to place, completely oblivious of her situation.She hoped to tell Rita what happened but now things moved from bad to worse. She couldn't talk and her memories kept on blurring, there was literally no way she could let Rita in on the matter on ground.“I woke up this morning and saw some clothes scattered, I saw Sophia on the ground with these marks all over her face. She looked pale and weak like someone with little or no strength. From what I can remember, we were both on the bed before I fell asleep but this morning she was on the cold floor, as cold as ice” , Rita hurriedly explained to the angel figure that stood before her, Desmond.“When she woke up, did she say anything or react funny?, how did she behave when she woke up?, Desmond probed further trying to understand the whole thing.“When she woke up, she didn't move her body, her eyes looked like it was going to fall out of i

Rita was having a hard time with everything that had happened so far.She was lost and in the dark but Desmond was ever present to help her take care of Sofia. Every midnight Sofia would strangely sit up in the bed and start starting into space.“Just like what happened last night. At exactly 12:00am, Sofia sprang up from bed, completely looking like someone who has been operated with a remote control. I went to ease myself that night , and when I got back to the room, Sofia scared life out of me”, Benny looked concerned as she narrated her ordeal to Desmond.“So what later happened?“, Desmond probed further, literally paying attention to the smallest detail.“When I came in and met her like that, I screamed and switched on the light.

    He sat on his dark stool and stared at the Black earthenware on his altar.Being a strong potion lord and a conjurer, he had different liquids boiling in various tubes around his shrine. He imagined Rita's face and summoned her spirit to reveal where she is at the moment.He saw a two story building that looked shady. It was painted in Ash and Ox blood and these were two 'not so bright' colours to him.Something about the building was off, it reeked of intense darkness and sorcery. Being a witch too, it was only normal for him to sense a strong power emanating from the building.He looked deeper and saw Sofia at the verge of life and death. He saw Rita gradually losing her sanity due to everything that has been happening to her best pal.He took a closer look at Desmond and realized how pure his heart is. He imagined the place and teleported to the house at night.He felt much darkness emanating from inside the house, someone in that house definitely had something to do with the sh

    Like a mad dog, he was out of control and was slowly losing his sanity.Gabriel tormented Big b in the dream and in the daytime he'd make him hallucinate. For him, this was only the beginning.In the dream he'd appear to be a green ripper with a long hook-like tool and a sharp blade. Big b was totally powerless in his dreams despite being a strong Witch.Seeing the scary ripper in his dreams, became an everyday routine. Not only did this ripper chase him in the dream, he also multilated after he must have caught him.The ripper showed no mercy while multilating him. He'd cut him deeply, to the point where Big b would beg for death instead of the gruesome torture he received.And when he finally wakes up he'd feel sore in the parts of his body that was mutilated in the dream.He was still in the dark and scared of whatever tortured him. Since the day he noticed the presence of a stronger Witch, he had known no peace and therefore lived like a peasant who was constantly in fear of the B

    *At the altar behind the mirror wardrobe*“Y'all still want some hot tea?, well I have more than enough to share with you guys”, Gabriel smirked and stirred the boiling potion with his finger.He knew he shouldn't have gotten involved with Sofia's situation but then he couldn't help but notice how sad Rita looked. Taking care of Sofia must have been so tiring for Rita and he didn't want that.[Authors thoughts: was that really the reason?]Hence, he had to intervene,especially now that they know a little about him.He kept stirring the potion with his finger, totally ignoring the fire that boiled it.He opened the boiling pot of potions and added a foul smelling black liquid, and poured a few drops of a red blood -like liquid into the pot. After pouring it into the pot, fire immediately filled the pot and boiled the liquid from inside, thereby causing a black smoke to fill the room.Gabriel walked towards the window and then towards the antiques and other artifacts kept in different

If there was anyone to be doubted in this world, it was definitely not Sir Lucius.He decided to sleep over it and get back to Sir Lucius with a good reply. When he got home, he opened his dark magic books, alongside his book of potions.There it was,the power of the first phalanges de palmistry, the benefits accrued to whoever was in possession of it, what it could do and could not do, how powerful the owner would be.After reading all these, he was stunned by everything.

The hood was empty, with no face just pitch black but two hands were visible too.Elio was taken aback by this unearthly person, why would a grim reaper dress in white? It was getting funny and confusing as Elio subconsciously started laughing.He was still laughing when the reaper charged at him, before he could avoid it, the sickle-like took already injured him, hence he braced up himself and swallowed hard, ready to fight for his life.The reaper advanced towards him and each strike was twice as strong as before.

    "Which is?" Gabriel probed further."Finding her roots" Aquila calmly replied. Her reply made Gabriel and Rita turn their faces in confusion while looking at themselves.It was a very surprising thing to hear, "Wait, what? What do you mean by that?" Rita was the most confused person amongst them, hence she had to ask again for better clarification."A lot of things are attached to her, her birth, parents, siblings, and her village. She knows the people who claim to be her siblings, but the truth is, they're not her siblings. They only stood in the gap to help her, but now, after receiving various threats from the Witch they're all far away from Sofia.""Her glorified siblings told her that she is from Ebo but they were only following instructions from the Witch. The instruction was to lie to her so she'd never find out her village because if she does, there'll be a big problem"Aquila logically explained things to them but Rita was quick to retort."If there'd be a big problem, is it
