“I think I forgot to bring some salt for purification. Do you think you could please get me some, John?” Elijah asked the man, because he wanted to be alone long enough to actually use his powers to heal William Carter’s heart.“Gotcha,” he said, and turned towards the door.When the door shut behind him, Elijah breathed out in relief, and proceeded with the real procedure. He took the gloves off so he could place his hand directly on the old man’s chest.The moment his bare hand touched his chest, the light in his ring came on. It started to glow more than usual. A scowl etched on his face at the surprising development. It was almost as if the ring was warning him about a danger ahead.“Or it’s just trying to trick you so you can let your guard down, and not go ahead to heal Mr Carter. If you prove everyone wrong and actually heal the man, it proves you’re able to control your powers, instead of it controlling you,” a voice in his head said.He nodded his head, and decided to proceed

Elijah pulled away from her, and took one last look at William Carter. He had returned to the way he was before he started the treatment.“I'm sorry,” he muttered, turning around.“If anything changes, call me,” Lexington said to Winnie.Before he turned to leave, Winnie walked up to him, and pulled him into a hug. “Thank you for bringing me home on time,” she whispered before pulling away.“Anything for You Winnie,” he said, and turned to meet the curious stare of Elijah.Without saying another word, they walked out of the house.As they got to the compound, Lexington turned to Elijah.“Did you drive here? If you do, I'll ask someone to bring your car. You're coming with me,” he said.“Why? I can drive myself,” he argued.“No you can't, and you know it. Do you even have any idea about the gravity of what you've just done? If I were you, I'll take the help I can get and not argue about it.”He walked to his car, and angrily entered into the driver's seat.Elijah sighed. Lexington was

Darius walked into a restaurant which had closed door rooms for private meetings with other individuals.After his encounter with Elijah that morning, he was looking to dominate another conversation.He was testy, and hoped that no one looked at him with a dirty eye. He couldn't stop himself from losing control.As he entered the room reserved for him, he was met with the man he wanted to see.The door closed behind them, as he sat at the chair across from the man.“You finally came,” Colin Trust said to the man who suddenly wanted to meet him in a private area, simply because he wanted his money in his bank.Not the one to turn down money, despite how shady the business seemed, he had decided to humor the stranger.He didn't know if what he was expecting to see was what was sitting before him, but he did know there was absolutely no way this man was poor.“Silver eyes. A rarity,” Darius cleared his throat and began.“It's a gift,” Colin said, a little bit stunned at how thick and vib

“No one is doing anything to Winnie,” Elijah insisted with a raised voice. “Whatever punishment it is, I’ll take it. But note this, absolutely nobody will touch a hair on Winnie’s body for as long as I live,” he said with a hint of finality.“And I agree. Why should Winnie have to suffer the consequences of anyone’s action? Even an action she didn’t choose for herself. It’s not her fault that she was born with a blood that entices the supernatural. It’s also not her fault that Elijah is in this situation. I suggest that she’s left out of this,” Lexington added.“Well isn’t that just the problem? So many of you are in love with the girl. I’m yet to see what’s so special about her. It also can’t be her beauty, when we have the literal goddess of beauty in our face. Well, this conversation might be happening with a different tone when Darius gets a hold of her,” Asher said.“Okay, first of all, don’t bring me into a conversation just to undermine another woman. The only reason you’re no

“So what now?” Lexington asked.“Nothing. It’s time for Winnie to know the truth anyway.” Elijah said.“Are you sure she’s ready for the truth? Isn’t her grandfather in critical condition right now?” Cleo asked.“That’s also a factor to consider. Regardless, I really do feel she’s better off knowing the truth. That way, protecting her would be easier.”Lexington sighed in defeat. There was no use arguing with a fellow god that has already made up his mind. Not when that god was as stubborn as Elijah.“If you insist,” he muttered under his breath.In the same moment, Tobias made the round into the compound. They all looked up at the same time to see him approach them.He paused on his heels when he saw the gathering, and frowned. “What now?’ he asked, his eyes darting towards the door. Every time the god’s gathered, the house becomes a mess. He was getting tired of that same routine.“Hey,” Elijah called. “I didn’t know you stepped out,” he said.“Yeah, about that, we need to talk.” Hi

Winnies car rolled into Elijah's compound, and she flew out of it, turning her head in search of him.She found Lexington in conversation with Cleo instead.Their gaze turned towards her as she approached them. Lexington couldn't stop his heavy thumping heart as he watched her walk over.The wind blew her hair, making her ten times more attractive than she already was.He couldn't feel his breath no matter how hard he tried. She simply had that effect on him- stealing his breath.She stopped before them, and reflexively struck Lexington across the face.“Whoa!” Cleo flinched back, not expecting that kind of fire from the vanilla princess.“How could you lie to me! And even if you wanted to lie, why not continue it to the end? Why am I hearing this when my grandfather is in such critical condition?” She screamed, hitting his chest as she did.He allowed her to vent. He had known this would happen. Maybe because they had promised to be honest and open with each other.She took her vow s

“You've absolutely lost your mind if you think there's anyway I'll be letting you take, Winnie Carter!” Colin said, replacing his shock with anger.“Funny you think you have a choice!” Darius suddenly bellowed, and slammed the table.Colin flinched, but pulled himself together just as quickly. “I don't care who you think you are, but you don't scare me. You have no right to come to my City and demand to take my woman!” He mirrored his voice.Darius chuckled, and it escalated into full blown laughter. He couldn't believe the gibberish he had just heard. A lot of men had come at him with some serious bullshit retort, but this had to take the cake for being the most hilarious, and untrue.“Your City?” He questioned, coming down from the high of his laughter. You have some nerve to call it your City when you've not even been able to take out the one guy plaguing you. And for the girl part? Don't be delusional please. Even Lexington has more chances with her than you could ever dream of.”

“Mum!” Laura ran beside her mother.With the help of Rhonda, they dragged her onto a couch.“Call 911 someone!” Laura screamed looking around for help as she cried uncontrollably.“Mum, please wake up!” She pleaded.Beside her, Rhonda stood, too upset to feel as much pain as she should.She loved that she had a mother. Appreciated that there was at least one remaining parental figure in her life. It was the reason she didn't think too much of it while sacrificing her time to her family. She didn't argue when her mother made her do the things she didn't want to do.Her biggest regret to date was letting go of Elijah. That too had been orchestrated by her mother.All of that she could have forgiven. But not this blatant disrespect and disregard of her efforts.She had spent countless hours breaking her back so that their business could keep competing with the treats of Quantum City.All of this she had done without ever whining or throwing tantrums.However, she only ended up being pai

A crowd gathered at the streets of Quantum City to watch the elites light up the place.They were all grateful to have been invited to the fundraising of Colin Trust. It was rare to be invited to these events, or that the events were even held in public.Amongst the people in that crowd weird Cleo and Tobias.Tobias was waiting for the signal he needed before he did what he prepared to do. As he turned his head around, he came face to face with Laura Anderson.She drew closer, and stopped in front of him. “The least you could do was answer my calls, you know? My mother was dying in the hospital, and I needed your help. I know about everything done to Elijah, so you can't even use that as an excuse. I just needed to talk to someone,” she said, tears in her eyes.Cleo was ready to go off when she turned and saw Laura Anderson. “You're the one that has a crush on my boyfriend,” she said before Tobias could respond.Laura painfully tore her gaze from Tobias, and turned to Cleo. “So you're

Lexington knocked at Elijah's door at seven in the evening, and the door was immediately opened by Cleo.“Hey, you came,” she said, stepping aside so he could go through.He found Tobias, and the god in the living room, but Winnie was nowhere to be found.“Where's Winnie?” He asked.“What do you mean, where's Winnie? Isn't she supposed to be with you?” Tobias asked.“No. She texted that she would be spending the night here, and I told her I'd pick her up for the fundraiser this evening,” he replied.“Are you sure? Because I'm pretty certain she received a call from you shortly after you left, and zapotec out to receive it.”“Wait a second,” Lexington took a step forward. “You're trying to tell me you haven't heard from her since she stepped out to receive a call?”“She said you wanted to speak to her. When we heard her car drive away, we assumed she was going to meet up with you,” but as Cleo said it, she began to realise the situation was not as straightforward as it seemed.Lexingto

“Leave me alone. Just go away,” Elijah muttered over and over again, as he scraped the walls of his cell with his fingers.It had gotten dark, and everytime it was dark, the voices got louder and more menacing.“Elijah?!” The most off-putting of all the voices sounded.He knew who he belonged to, but he couldn't quite place it. His mind was too disorganised.“Leave me alone,” he begged.“Why? You don't want to be reminded of your sins? I thought you were a self righteous prick!”“I didn't do it,” he shook his head continuously. “I didn't. An accident. She did it. She caused it.”Darius laughed. “But no one that matters knows. In the papers, you're a murderer. You need to see the paper stands, and the news on the city's projector screens. They're all carrying your face and your crime. Maybe you should have publicised your healing abilities. If you had, the, would have been more inclined to support you.” he laughed maniacally.“I'm innocent. I'm innocent,” Elijah repeated.The more he s

“You're a murderer! A monster. You've claimed you save lives. You claim you can't fight the urge to be a messiah to ailing people. Look at you now. A murderer!”“Leave me alone! Leave me!” Elijah closed his ears, and dropped to the ground in a ball.He rolled from one end of the room to the other, trying to wade off the voices in his head.Still, they didn't relent. The more he tried to keep them away, the more they laughed and mocked him.“Do you know how many people you killed?” Another baritone voice began in a singsong tone.“Not one,” one shrieked.“Not even two,” another thundered.“Not five either,” a third chirped.“So many!” The first voice screamed and broke into a feat of laughter.“No, I didn't mean to. It was a mistake. A setup. Please. Mercy!” He begged, and cried.“No, you did! You put on the ring when you knew how blood thirsty it was. You wanted this. Craved it, because deep down, you're truly a monster!”“No I'm not!” He screamed back.“Yes you are!”“No I'm not!”“Y

They were driving along the highway when Avery turned on the radio and began to sing along to the music being played.“You haven't changed that much,” he said, as she sang.Despite the volume turned all the way up, she could hear him clearly.“It's the curse of being a star, my darling.” She continued singing loudly, pulling a head shake out of his head.He didn't care what she chose to do. The only thing he was happy about was the fact he had managed to get the sixth herb. Despite every setback be had to face, it was just the remaining two left.His thoughts became bothered as he wondered what they were going to be. He assumed if he hadn't seen it yet, it was because of how life threatening they were bound to be.He didn't care though. No matter what it was, he planned on doing it just to see his mother up and about again.She had spent so much time being unconscious, she probably didn't know how the world worked anymore.“Why aren't you singing? You just achieved a major feat. You s

Avery shot forward, and dropped to the ground beside him.“Elijah!” She smacked his chest.“Move!” He screamed at her. “It's just the ring. It's trying to control me,” he explained.“Oh,” she looked reluctant to leave him alone, nervously twisting her head from side to side. “Is there something I can do to help you out? Tell me, and I'll do it,” she asked desperately.“Just move, Avery. Move please,” he pleaded.“Okay,” she rose to her feet. “But I'm not moving far away. Just in case you need my help.”He sighed and rose to his feet. She was stubborn, but it was understandable. She just wanted to help.“You listen to me,” he spoke through his bringing the ring to his face. “You're not going to keep doing whatever the fuck you want to do. I'm going to get that herb, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it!” With every word he spoke, his tone grew higher and higher, until the veins on his forehead formed a poll of creasing mass.With a determined stride, he pushed forward an

Elijah drove to a stop in front of the Trusts mansion.“There's a way we can play this off without alerting Colin's boys. But if you want to go the badass route, then we can just walk in.”“What way?” Elijah asked, his trouble sensing tingling.“With your tongue shoved down my throat. They'd think we're in heat and just want to make love. Without any questions asked, they would open the door and let us in.”“No!” He said, immediately she was done.“Okay, Mr God. Chill with the outburst. It was only a suggestion. It's either that, or we go in together. If we do, there's a chance one of them might recognize you and report back to Colin. Are you willing to risk that?”“I'm already here. I don't care if anyone recognizes me or not. All I want to do is get in there, take the herb, and get out.”“You say it like it's that easy,” she said, withdrawing her legs from the dashboard. “Doesn't it take a whole process? Or are you willing to risk the ring working against you?”“The ring feeds on vi

“We will have to return to the exhibition one after the other, though. Just follow my lead,” Winnie said.Elijah blinked multiple times as he tried to wrap his mind around Winnie’s enthusiasm. She had the biggest smile on her face, as if she had been waiting for this day all her life.“Are you ready?” she lifted her head, her gaze darting between Elijah and Avery.“I don’t know what exactly you’re trying to do. But I’m bored and down for anything, so let’s do it.” Avery shrugged. “That’s the spirit!” she pumped her fist, then turned to Elijah. “You?” she asked, eyeing him gently as she waited for his response.“Do I have a choice?”“No!” Both Avery and Winnie screamed in unison.“Fine.” He threw his hands into the air in surrender. They stood aside, as Winnie stomped her foot on the ground twice before storming towards the exhibition room.“It’s not just me, right? She’s really enjoying this.” Elijah observed out loud.“Yeah buddy. You got yourself a show girl. In other words, a dra

Elijah thought about it for all but twenty seconds before he shook his head, rejecting the idea. “No. I absolutely cannot use Winnie that way. If I have to wait until the day of the fundraiser, then so be it.”“Look, I get it. Winnie is special to you. She’s the one you love, or whatever. Regardless, this is your best shot. Colin knows that you’re a god.”“What!” he raised his brow, temporarily startled?“I had to tell him about us, because he pretty much figured out the basics. Anyway, that’s not even the case right now. If you don’t find a way to sneak into the house soon, he’s going to set you up so bad when the time comes, I’m afraid you may not be able to escape the ambush.”He let her words sit in his head for a few minutes. His biggest enemy at the moment was time. By all indications, Colin planned on using the next weekend for his fundraiser. This would make it exactly one week from today. In a way, he could admit Avery was right. He had to move fast if he wanted to thwart C
