I found myself inside the underground
structure. I looked back and saw some stairs but I didn't
climb when I came down. I followed the lady through a
hollow space and then she reached a brown door and
then she recited some words again before opening the
door. The door led to a huge room filled with so many
relics of books, animal parts and so many things I didn't
know what they were called. There was a huge
rectangular hole in the middle of the room with burning
candles spaced between the lengths of the hole and one
candle each at the breaths of the hole.
I was able to see more of the woman now because of the
illumination from the candles. She was putting on a
hoodie and I was unable to see her face,she had a nice
frame though, she walked to one of the candles, I
assumed belonged to her, she knelt in front of it and
said,"It's time for him to have the book, it has been
confirmed that the beast resides in the boy and he is
without doubt the child of prophecy. So, I need to know
where the book is and therefore call on the spirit of
Isabella our mother witch to show me where the book is.
" After which she started reciting some words. Soon, a
white smoke in the frame of a woman came out of the
hole and pointed to one of the candles on the breath of
the hole and she spoke some unknown language,after
which she disappeared. The woman went to the candle
and moved it, the floor cracked and something as black
as death emerged from the Crack. She took the book and
covered it, putting it in her bag. she thanked the spirit of
Isabella before moving through the passage way as she
left for the home of the boy in the prophecy I guessed.
MY SISTER
**************************
RICHARD
She recited the same spell she used in opening the witch
coven earlier and emerged from where she entered
earlier. She brought out a bottle from her bag and pour
the liquid in it on her palm, the liquid was clear like water
but I was sure it wasn't water and she whispered some
words, the liquid turned white in colour. She heaved a
sigh of relief and then went south of her location.
The scene changed and I found myself close to a little
village. There was chatter and the usual things one gets
to see in little settlements. When the strange woman was
close to the village, she brought out a mirror and looked
into it reciting some words. I still couldn't see her face
because it seems she likes coming out at night or it was
deliberate from whoever is showing me all these . Her
frame and appearance changed to that of a middle-aged
woman after using the mirror, some crazy magic there .
She entered the village and walked through the main
road before she turned eastward and walked a few
metres before stopping in front of a little black bungalow
- My house when I was a kid.
She looked left and right before knocking. The door was
opened by my foster father, Mr Cypher .He ushered her in
like he was expecting her. He looked left and right before
shutting the door. "Thanks for showing up as quickly as
you did." He said as his beautiful wife sat down beside
him while his little son was busy kicking a wooden box
around the living room. "My son Richard has been acting
out of sorts, he seems to growl instead of snoring when
he sleeps and his mum complained about his bed sheets
that seems to be torn every night with what looks like
claws. I assumed it was an animal and so three nights
ago , I decided to watch him as he slept. He slept Alright
until midnight when he suddenly started growling as he
slept and claws slowly replaced his finger nails, he
gripped the sheets so hard that, he left marks on them. I
guess he was having a nightmare and just as suddenly as
the claws came, they disappeared. I have never seen
anything like that before and asked around and I was told
of your expertise in such things. I just hope my son is
alright. "He finished as he joined hands with his wife as
they awaited response from the woman.
She looked at the little boy before answering," your son is
perfectly fine but he is far from an ordinary child. He is a
special child and must be groomed specially. As he
grows older, he will begin to have anger issues but you
must teach him to control his rage right from now, else
you might have yourselves to blame. Another thing is
that, when he gets to his early twenties, he will stop aging
but do not fear because that's the only way he will fulfill
his destiny, and in order for him to fulfill that destiny he
will need this book. Hand it over to him when he is of age
but for now guard it Jealously. With that being said, get
your things ready, you will be leaving town tonight. This
town is no longer safe for you and your son. You will
move north of this country and settle down there until
Richard is of age. " the old woman finished her speech,
but she seemed restless and confirmed it by screaming,"
Well, Start packing already!!!. " The Cyphers swung into
action, hurriedly packing some of their stuffs while the old
woman walked up to the little boy. He stopped playing
with his little box when he saw her approached and
politely bowed as he greeted" good evening ma'am". The
old woman smiled before playing with his head, she then
whispered, "such a lovely boy, well I will need something
from you so that I will not endanger your life again as I
have just done. I will guide your path and hopefully we
will meet again." She kissed him on the forehead before
cutting a Locke of his hair.
The Cyphers were through with packing and then quickly
they climbed Into the cart and off they left in Mr Cypher's
cart.
They went north and remained on that path for a while
until I heard snarls and I think the old woman heard it
too. She asked Mr Cypher to stop and disembark from
the cart. "Move north and don't stop, remember all I have
told you, now go!!!" she screamed.
She opened her bag and brought out a little bottle filled
with black powder, put a little on her palm and blew into
the trails left by Mr Cypher's cart and mysteriously, the
trails disappear. She smiled and then prepared herself for
whatever was coming.
The snarls got louder as vampires approached the old
woman. She brought her mirror and changed back to her
former self, I was backing her this time and therefore was
unable to see her face but I was able to see her hair, it
was red and long and beautiful. I was taken in awe by its
sheer Beauty and became sad when she covered it up
with her hood.
I heard movements behind me and in front of her, it
looked like she has been ambushed. "Look who we have
here, if it ain't for the stubborn last witch, I will enjoy
bathing in your blood" An unrecognizable voice said, "Well
you can try" The strange woman replied.
They snarled and then came for her but instead of
defending herself, she threw her hands up in the air and
screamed "egulla", instantly, black lightening erupted
from her hands into the sky and fell back into the ground
completely vaporizing any unfortunate being it struck. I
have never seen something so beautiful and horrific at
the same time. The impact of the lightening and the
absurd manner the lightening descended defined
fundamental laws. Lightening doesn't leave a conductor
and fall back to the ground. It was just an amazing
experience. The lightening soon changed color and
became white hot. Ashes upon Ashes filled the ground as
terrifying screams of unfortunate victims filled the night.
The strange woman was obviously winning and smiled
from ear to ear as the screams from the woman seemed
to please her, then out of nowhere I saw something move
so fast, it was a blur even to someone like me. The thing
moved to the back of the woman and applied pressure on
a point on her shoulders, the strange woman fell to the
ground ending the beautiful fireworks I had come to love.
That was strange, she obviously isn't faster than light or
was she? Or is she immune to the strange woman's
magic?, "bind her hands in chains and one of you should
carry her, the all-father wants her alive,now move" a
voice that belonged to one i have come to love said -
Angel.
