LOGINSERAFINAMuffled distorted voices… “So you are planning on releasing her?” My head pounded so loudly in my eardrums I wanted to rip them apart. I tried shutting it with my powers but I was too weak to even lift a finger. “She is a missionier.” the angered voice said again. “She was trained to kill not love.” I wanted to yell at her, to shut her up for screaming like a crazed animal. My lips felt like they were glued together. I tried to move my body again but there was no response. My eyes closed and opened momentarily, but the view I always saw was so blurry, I couldn't make any thing out. “Serafina..” Someone was hovering over me. “Serafina..” my body was shaking. “Are you there?” No. I was fast tranceeding to wherever I came from. “Sera..” I have heard that name before. Someone.. A sudden pain shot through my body, and I screamed, but seeing how calm they were, still hovering over me, they didn't hear me. How many wer
RAPHEAL So close.. I swerved onto another tarred road, cursing out the truck that had made me drift from my original road. So much for someone who had a driving license. Ruben's car was right behind mine, as he had promised me, we would go to the temple together. If we didn't see any temple, then I had to give in and use other means to find Serafina. She had to be on this earth… Somewhere on this earth. My phone suddenly vibrated, his name displaying on the dash screen. I quickly swiped the green button. “Are you okay?” I chuckled. “I'm fine, Ruben. That was nothing.” Except it wouldn't have been if I hadn't lounged straight into the bush. A few minutes ago, I spotted a truck coming from the opposite direction. It seemed odd because this path was ruled out as a danger zone. Being here meant you were strong headed or just a fool. Yet you are here. From the distance, he seemed really cool with his driving but drawing nearer, I realized
SERAFINA The summoning.. I had already realized three hours later after creating the barrier, that two things might happen after this ritual. Actually three things but the first was unavoidable, being that I was definitely going to get caught later on and have to face the consequences of my actions. The other two were that I might die from this..Or live and summon the guardian. And even if I did summon him, how sure was I that he was going to have a positive response? My thoughts were clearly consuming me, and I felt fear clinging at my throat. Though I have been having the feeling ever since I made the resolution to do this, it was more pronounced today.. So invested in my thought, I didn't notice when the sun set into the horizon, casting a colourful hue on the earth. To others, it would probably be a very pretty sunset. But to me, I was reminded of the endangering step I was about to take. I just had to keep reminding myself that I had nothing to
SERAFINA “Who the hell are you?” I croaked, dragging the strong arm that was fast restricting my airflow. I tried sniffing her out, as I had regained my power of smell, but there was no scent around her. She was wearing the same granine perfume I had on. She tightened her grip, pulling hard at my hair. If I didn't act fast, she was going to subdue me. I quickly elbowed her, illicting a painful groan from her. “Let me go..” I shoved hard, pushing her backwards with my weight, until we crashed onto a shelf and hit the marble floor. I was at the losing end, if I got caught with a book of black magic. “Let me go!!” I thrashed harder, weakening her grip on me. Grasing the open chance, I struck her with my elbow against and bit into her hand. She winced loudly, finally letting me go. As much as I wanted to catch my breath, finding out who my assassin was, seemed more vital. She made to leave but I quickly grabbed her leg, pulled my da
SERAFINA The plan would be sealed tomorrow. Whether the heavens liked it or not, nothing was going to stop me tomorrow. If they thought I had given up on him, they’d better have a rethink. Finally, the lights to the library went off after which the keeper locked the glass door and shuffled the key into his back pocket. I waited for him to walk back to the parvern where he would submit it, so I could sneak in and take it. My plans to summon the guardian would be finalized tomorrow and by next tomorrow on the night of the full moon, I would finally have a chance to give him a piece of my mind. Its been fourty days since the day I had rejected him coldly, and I was still nowhere near my senses. But despite everything we had given through, the fate of Rapheal's death was still on. So I decided to take matters into my hands. I had already come too far to give up. Besides, I had nothing to lose. Marionette had no idea about my movements, a
RAPHEAL “What do you mean?” I demanded, holding my gaze against his unsettled face. I was gathering ever single restraint in me. “I don't know…” he hesitated again. “Rapheal, please I need you to calm down.” “But the temple..” I chipped in, ignoring the news he just announced. “Serafina is there.” “Turns out it's a fake address.” He sighed. “It never existed.” My eyes narrowed. “Is this some kind of prank?” “I understand how you feel but we have to be..” “Be what Ruben?” I queried. “Am I supposed to leave her in there?” “You know where she is?” Is this some kind of joke? “The temple of course!!” I yelled with thin patience. “Look Ruben, I know you are concerned about me but this isn't the time to make silly jokes.” “I should be saying that same thing to you.” He replied. “I just said the temple doesn't exist. The adress miss Ciara gave us is a fake. There is nothing like that in this whole wide world.” He wasn't joking. “So where do you
RAPHEAL The eerie silence had returned. The kind that had a way of growing its teeth in the house. There was nothing comforting nor peaceful about it, rather it was invasive. It crawled beneath my skin, sat heavy on my chest and whispered thoughts of death everyday. There was nothi
RAPHEALThe next day*** The umpteenth groan of frustration escaped my throat as I took another sniff of the white powdery substance spread evenly atop the glass table. Using my fingers, i gently rubbed the substance in, so as to get a more needed effect, ignoring the loud vibration of my phon
SERAFINA No matter how hard I tried to wrap my head around it, I couldn't understand what had happened in the past days. My anger was directed to the fact that I didn't listen to my instincts and also didn't get a read of her memory. Yes I couldn't see the future but it would have played a bi
RAPHEAL Bunch of fools! Hypocrites! Lousy greedy money groublers that want to snag everything they can from the Dekoms empire and strip it bare. Twenty five board members who stared at me with fear and hooded mockery. I could tell they were more than happy about my threatened
