EPISODE 32; I’M FREE NOW
“I’m so tired. Like where the hell are we going that we haven’t reached for several hours now!” Linda barked and we all turned to her. “And why are you all staring at me that way?” She added and rolled her eyes.
“It’s not our fault that you’re tired, Linda. It’s not like we are the ones leading the way. That stuff in your front is as you already know. So maybe you can ask it” Jayden replied sarcastically.
“She’s not even tired Jayden, she’s just stressed out” Ariana mumbled. “If I’m to be correct, I don’t think we’ve walked for more than 20 mins.”
“That’s a lie!” Linda shrieked. How can you say that we haven’t walked for more than 20mins but yet it feels like hours.”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“That’s cause you’re stressed out Linda. You’re not tired.”
“Hey, cute doctor. Please what’s the difference between being tired and being stressed?” Dagrin asked and smirked at her while fiddling with his fingers.
“Both are related my handsome dude” she grinned and blew a kiss at him.
“Ok, my sexy damsel. Tell me more” he drawled and blew back her kiss.
She caught it and placed it on her lips then trailed it down to her chest before clearing her throat while smiling sheepishly.
“When one is tired the mind gives out only one information which is rest and when one is stressed no information is given. One can overcome stress which is why she’s still walking instead of slumping but if she was tired she will be on the ground right now.”
“That’s a cute explanation from a cute angel” Dagrin grumbled. “We should get done already so I can take you away for the night.”
I glared at him and took a peek at Declan admiring him deeply for the very first time and also wishing I could have a thing with him but then it’s not possible cause I don’t think I can love any guy intimately.
He chuckled and turned away from me. “I believe we will soon be there” he mumbled and we nodded and continued our journey until the powder suddenly stopped and faded away.
“What just happened Dagrin?” I asked peering at him. “I thought you earlier stated that the powder will lead us to her then what just happened?”
“We are here,” Declan said and we all turned to him our confusion state so visible for him to see. “If Dagrin said that the powder will lead us to where she is then we are here.”
“Does that mean she must be closeby?” Lucas asked.
“Not closeby but here!” a voice roared in front of us and my step mum appeared. “You all don’t wanna retreat right?”
“Till you’re dead, we are not leaving here!” I barked at her.
“Oh baby girl, I’ve told you that nothing can kill me so why are you suffering yourself?”
I glanced at everyone and we charged towards her but she suddenly turned into more than ten different ladies and they all started laughing in thousand voices. “We are undetectable” they let out and continued laughing.
“Do you have any plan Dagrin?” I asked only to his hearing.
“I’m out of ideas mistress. I never saw this coming” he retorted.
“What about you Declan?” I asked once more hoping he would have ideas.
“I’m sorry mistress but I don’t too. I don’t know a thing about spiritual encounters.”
I bent my head in sorrow but the Queen strolled to me, raised my head, and smiled at me. “I have an idea Snipy” she mumbled. “To detect her we have to find the one among them who looks weak and strike that one.”
“Yes!” I exclaimed and the others raised their eyebrows at me. “Let’s attack” I ordered and all hell broke loose.
We kept killing them but the more we killed the more they increased to the extent that we got so exhausted.
“We fight till death!” I screamed and we charged once more killing and shattering but I suddenly felt a pat on my shoulder and I turned to see my step mum. I glanced at the others and they all were concentrated on the killings going on.
“Look at them. They won’t even see or hear you die” she teased.
“Nothing will happen to me” I challenged and tried attacking her but realized that I couldn’t move any part of my body. It was mere like I was frozen.
“Hahaha” she beamed, brought out a little knife from her cloak, and raised her hand in the air. “It’s been my aim to kill you and I’m so happy it will come to fulfillment. Before you die keep it in mind that I’ll still finish off your remaining family members. Goodbye Snipy.”
“Oh, blessed Jah, accept my soul” I prayed and closed my eyes waiting for her stab but it never came. I opened my eyes seconds later when I got tired of waiting to see her struggling with Declan who held her knife.
She successfully outpowered him and pushed him off her, smiled, and raised her hand to strike me once more but froze as soon as the sword from her twin hit her heart, shock apparent on her face.
“Y… ou… kil… ed. y.. ou.. r.. t.. wi.. n” she stuttered at her twin spitting out blood before darkness took over.
“I’m free now” her last words echoed in our ears as she turned to ashes before our eyes.
“We did it!” Lucas, Jayden, and Ariana screamed jumping and giggling.
“Your phone mistress” Dagrin mumbled and handed it to me.
I clicked receiver and placed it on my ears. “Yes, frank. Any update?”
“Erm… yo… ur.. bro…,”
“My brother is what?” I interrupted him.
“Your brother is ok!” He exclaimed and my face stretched into a fulfilled smile. “He’s asking for you. Come back quick.”
“Thank you, Frank. Thank you for saving my only brother.”
“What’s the meaning of her last words?” Jayden asked immediately I dropped the call.
“Ma…,” I wanted to say but my stepmom’s twin suddenly screamed and fainted.
