Samson, Nelly and Darryl were slicing snakes apart like they were playing "Fruit Ninja" but it was only their situation worse as the snakes just seemed to be getting even more. "This is hopeless guys, we're just making more." Nelly said with so much fear. "We gotta open the door and get out of here!" Darryl said. Nelly turned around and hit the door but it didn't open. "Do you guys know that spell Carl uses to open doors? Maybe that's what we need." He asked. A snake leapt at Samson and he caught it in the air and threw it away. "I think it's Ureta something!" Samson said to Nelly. Nelly faced the door and put his hand out, while Darryl and Samson kept killing the snakes. "Ureta Exempo! Ureta Estello! Ureta Magneto!" Nelly said but none of the spells he was saying was correct. "Guys it's not working!" He alerted them. "Keep trying." Darryl shouted. Nelly continued saying random spells until..."Ureta Expello!" The door blasted open and the guys jumped outside and slammed th
"Skreels are loyal pets. They stay loyal to their Witch even after their death. They can live for centuries and within that period of time, they remain loyal." Moriah told the kids while petting Rojan.Samson got on his feet and went over to his friends. They pulled him over to them and all asked if he was alright."I'm alright guys." He said to them,"It's okay, Rojan. I need Constance's Dagger for something very important and once I'm done, I'll bring it back to you, ok? Now go!" Moriah said to the Skreel and it ran off, back into Constance's bedroom."Alright then, now that the Skreel is gone, we can get back to trying to break the curse and get out of here." Nelly said."Indeed we can. We have everything we need now, the curse item, and her Witch Dagger!"Guys? We kinda have a problem!" Peace said, wanting to tell them about the second Witch Dagger that she and Jennifer found."Damn it, what is it this time? Nelly asked in frustration."THIS is the problem!" Peace said and went ov
PRESENTLY . . The kids all sat in a circle and were about to begin with the ritual to break the curse. Peace brought out the box and opened it. She took out the cursed item and handed it to Nelly. Nelly took the cloth and put it on the floor. He held a flaming torch and was ready to burn the cloth. "You ready for this, Darryl?" Nelly asked him because he was the one entrusted with running the dagger into Kristokulos' heart. "Yeah! Do it." Darryl said with Constance's Witch Dagger in hand. Samson, Jennifer and Peace also had their weapons with them. Moriah had enchanted them to make them stronger but only the Witch Dagger could kill the beast. Nelly set the cloth on fire and the kids watched as it burned very slowly until it became a pile of ash. The building suddenly started shaking, almost like there was an earthquake happening. They started hearing rain falling outside the house and the sparks of lightning which was followed by the boom of thunder. They couldn't tell whether
Samson and Nelly both carried the strange man who claimed to be Kristopher back to the main hall. He was very weak and tired so he was asleep and they placed him on the couch. Back in the room, Moriah got out of Jennifer's body again so she could witness what was happening. "What's going on? Who's that man on the couch?" Jennifer asked. "Oh right! Moriah possessed you so you don't remember anything after that. This guy claims to be Kristopher." Nelly told her. "What? Does that mean the curse is broken?" Jennifer asked with a smile. "No it's not, which means this man is not who he says he is and even if his name is Kristopher, he's probably not our Kristopher." Darryl said. "What are the chances that we would run into someone named Kristopher, in this house, and it wouldn't be the same guy?" Nelly asked Darryl, certain that this was Kristokulos as a man. "This can't be him unless the curse wouldn't still be affecting us." Darryl argued. "It is him which is why the monster didn't
"Do you really mean it? Destroying this Dagger with a particular spell will set me free?" Kristopher asked desperately."Oh yes, it will. Just follow my instructions and you'll be able to reunite with your family or live a new life." Constance said."Okay. Tell me what I must do." Kristopher said to Constance.Constance got closer to Kristopher and put the dagger in his hand and leaned in towards his ear."Once you awaken, tell the children who you are and gain their trust. They'll ask how you're a man again, tell them you don't know how. They'll be even more desperate to break the curse but without the beast, they won't know how to. That's when you'll tell them that you know of another way to lift the curse on the house so you all can leave the house. It's an ancient spell that uses powerful dimensional forces to destroy powerful items, like the Dagger I've given to you. That Dagger has some of my powers in it and once you destroy it, the curse on you will break." Constance instructe
Kristopher got on his feet and walked around. He looked at his arm, touched himself, feeling his skin. He hadn't felt like a human in centuries. "I have been a monster for so long that I almost forgot what it felt like to be a man." He said. "We're so sorry about that, Kristopher. But don't worry, we plan on breaking the curse and finally freeing you. But...you won't survive it." Samson told him. "It doesn't matter if I die. What I want more than anything is to be with my family again in the afterlife." Kristopher replied. "The only problem is that you're human again. You already remember your humanity and trying to break the curse with you in this form would surely not work." Darryl said. Just then, Peace gave Kristopher a signal with her eyes to act like he was just seeing the Dagger. Kristopher started to stare at her hands and the guys noticed. "What are you looking at?" Peace asked. "That Dagger in your hand. Is it a Witch Dagger?" Kristopher asked. "Yes it is. It belongs
"What is it, Moriah? What did you find out?" Jennifer asked her as she moved around the house, trying to get back to the main hall."Constance is planning to destroy her Witch Dagger which will make her practically unstoppable and we have to prevent her from doing so." Moriah said and they got to the top of the house.Moriah hid in a corner and watched as the kids were preparing to perform the spell. They had found all the items that were needed. The candles had been lit, the rat had been found and Kristopher was using the chalk to draw the image of the three pointed star on the floor."What are they doing?" Jennifer asked."They are preparing to cast the spell that would destroy the Dagger." Moriah answered."But why would they be helping her?" Jennifer wondered."She's obviously deceiving them into doing it." Moriah said."Then what are we waiting for? Let's stop it before they do what they're about to do." Jennifer suggested."We have to be smart about this Jennifer. Constance is t
"Isn't that your Witch Dagger?" Jennifer asked Moriah in her head."It is, but don't worry, I won't let her use it on you." Moriah assured Jennifer."Are you ready to die, Moriah?" Constance asked."If you use my Dagger on me, you'll only kill this body. My spirit will still exist and since there's still a curse on this house preventing me from crossing over to the underworld, I'll remain here and I'll be able to possess another body." Moriah told her."That's if your spirit still exists!" Constance said and was walking closer to her."What is that supposed to mean?" Moriah asked."My blood is currently flowing through your veins and I don't need to tell you that a Witch's blood has her magic in it. When I kill that body, your spirit will need a new host and as soon as you come out, I'll be able to absorb my power by absorbing you, adding your power to mine." Constance said."That's impossible! A Witch cannot absorb another Witch's power. It can't be done.""O but it can, Moriah. Sinc
The next night, Cornelius Primo was ready to fly out to the gravesite that Gable’s men had found so he could get the most important piece of the puzzled for his plans to finally move forward. He had gotten dressed in his father’s cloak, an article of clothing that he had never worn since he killed his father. Gable came into his chambers, “Alpha, the chopper is ready,” He said. “Then, let’s get going,” Primo said. They both walked out of the house and onto the yard together. When they reached outside, five more men, including the pilot were already inside the spinning helicopter and they were going to accompany him just in case he needed some extra muscle. There was also a young woman in the helicopter with a bag over her head. Her hands and feet were tied up with ropes and she was also unconscious. “Is that the virgin?” Primo asked before stepping in. “That’s her,” Gable answered. Primo and Gable climbed in and the pilot hovered them off the ground and into the sky. They headed
Gable was in the underground section of the Mudders Estate and was supervising the final touches that were being made to the giant bunker deep within the soil. He had a grin on his face because he knew that it was almost time for the real plan to be kicked in motion. J came running up the stairs so he could give Gable some information about the progress of the dome. “Gable, I’ve got good news from the engineers,” J said to him. “And…” Gable asked. “It’s complete. As of now, the dome is officially complete,” J said with a proud smile on his face. “…which means that it’s time to have some real fun,” Gable said with a menacing smile. The Gemini wolf got out from the ground and went back up to the surface. He walked into the mansion so he could give the good news to his Alpha. He reached the Alpha’s chambers and walked into the room without even knocking. When he got in, he found Cornelius Primo inside his communication room filled with computers having a meeting with his high beta
PARIS A YEAR LATER “Au revoir, Jacqueline. Get home safe, alright?” A man said to his worker who had just left his bakery for the night. “Will do, Monsieur Henri. See you tomorrow,” She said as she walked away. It was late in the evening and a lot of businesses were closed. The streets were dark but thanks to the glow of the street lamps, there was enough light for Jacqueline to move around. She walked through the streets of Rue de Rivoli and she hummed to herself as she walked. As she was walking, she suddenly had this feeling that someone was following her. She turned to check but there was no one behind her. She felt maybe it was just her nerves for having left work so late tonight so she kept walking. Some distinct shadow suddenly ran past her from behind and she felt the wind. She gasped and turned around again but still, there was no one. Jacqueline was getting scared because she could feel that she was being stalked. The streets were empty and she was all alone so there w
Maximus found himself walking on an empty field and all he could see all around him was the green carpet grass. There was no one else and nothing else in sight, just the green.Nothing about where he was felt real but yet, he could feel the heat of the sun. He could feel the coolness of the breeze on his skin and he could smell the grassy aroma coming off the leaves. "Where am I?" He asked himself as he continued walking.Then, he spotted something just up ahead, something different about this place. He walked further until he saw it better. There was a section of the grass that was dried up and grey and it made a circle within all the green. Inside the circle, there was a tombstone on the ground and it had Allison's name written on it.Maximus saw her name and stopped walking. He stopped with his foot mere inches away from the grey grass. His eyes watered up and his brows flared together when he remembered his dead mate. He didn't want to be here because he was being reminded of som
"For so long, I have imagined this moment. I have played it out in my head what seeing you again would be like. I will admit that when I envisioned this moment, I was always scared of you. Even after I became a Witch, I was still afraid of just the thought of you because of how much you messed me up as a person. I have battled all sorts of things, all sorts of abominations that would leave even the strongest Witch emotionally scarred for life and I didn't feel a thing but with you, I would have nightmares and I would sometimes blink and in that quarter of a second of darkness, I would see your face and it would terrify me," Peace said to Constance."Aw, I left an impression on you," Constance said condescendingly, almost like she was making fun of Peace."You did," Peace admitted, "For so long, I tried to be the best Witch I could be just so I wouldn't end up like you. Everyone always raised their brows about me because I inherited your powers and they felt like I was doomed to go dow
The young vampire sat in a dark corner in Jorish's living room and was sobbing because she was so terrified by what was happening to her. She didn't want to believe that she was now a soulless blood-sucking monster but all the clues were pointing out that she was but she didn't want to accept it.The sound of her weeping started annoying Jorish who couldn't focus on the book she was reading. She started to rethink letting the girl out of the dungeon and played with the idea of putting her back but, for some reason she couldn't quite put her finger on, Jorish decided to converse with her instead. She closed her book and spun her chair around to face the vampire."You've been making that sound for almost twenty minutes now. Are you even shedding any tears?" Jorish asked her."I don't know why nothing's coming out," She said and rubbed her face but there were no tears even though she was really crying."Yeah, that's because vampires can't produce tears," Jorish said."I'm not a vampire,"
Maximus went to the lake around the mansion, to the same spot where he had kissed Allison for the first time after they imprinted. He sat by the lake and remembered that moment as one of the happiest he had ever felt and it made him even sadder that she was gone and he would never feel that way again.Whenever the mate of a werewolf died, he or she would have to get over their death mentally and emotionally before they would be able to mate again. If the werewolf isn't able to heal from the loss, they'll remain without an imprint for the rest of their lives, unable to find their mate to complete their existence. Maximus wasn't an ordinary werewolf; he was a True-born, True Alpha and he was strong not just physically but mentally as well. He knew he could get over Allison's death. All he needed was time but at this moment, it felt almost impossible to not feel the pain and the emptiness left by her absence. It hurt more than the injuries he had sustained at Primo's hands and all he co
With their tails behind their legs, the Saviours did the walk of shame after crossing through the hex and getting out of the car they had stolen from the concert. It was clear from the way they walked back to the mansion that they were defeated and it would take a while before they were back to full force because they had suffered a crushing defeat tonight.Jess and Aliyah were the first to go into the house. They turned around to see if Maximus wanted some company but he gestured at them to go and get some rest, signalling that he'd be fine. They did as he said and went upstairs to their room while Maximus kept walking and headed to the back of the house. Mira didn't think it was a good idea to leave Maximus alone at this time because she remembered how impulsive he could be. He hadn't been impulsive for a long time but the amount of loss they had suffered today could make him do something crazy so she decided to follow him to whatever part of the house he was going to.While she fol
PEACE'S POV...The amount of chaos and loss that occurred on this night was unlike anything I had ever witnessed. So many people turned while others died from the bites, their systems unable to handle the process of the change and their lives got altered forever because of one werewolf's delusion for power. Why did the vampires even do this? Why today of all days? So many things were out of order and it felt so unreal. I knew something was coming but I never once suspected that this could ever happen to the world on my watch. I never expected it to get to this point but it did and it came at a cost that I could have prevented but because of the Witcher's Law, I could only sit by and watch as the chaos ensued.Maximus Cullen, his Luna and his betas had suffered a crushing loss at the hands of Cornelius Primo and his Mudders and they weren't even able to stop his plans. They always knew their lives were in danger when they took it upon themselves to fight the Alpha Mudder but now, th
