Do not trust

"But...that doesn't make any sense. How's that even possible?" I breathed out as everything started to fly above my brain. The more I knew about these creatures, the more complicated it becomes. It was like every single detail was connected to other tunnels leading to secrets of their pasts.

"That's what I'm thinking, she was killed, along with her bloodline, atleast that's what I was told." Victoria narrowed her brows. 

Stress wasn't good for her.

"Hey...calm yourself down," I said worriedly as she stopped pacing around and turned to look at me.

"Yeah, I just…." 

"These are just philosophies of your ancestors. Maybe something might be missing?" I tried to ensure her. But the surreal look on her face said otherwise. 

She nodded her head.

"Don't worry yourself it's not good for the baby,” I looked at her flat belly which was going to protrude like a watermelon soon. She smiled and again nodded her head.

"I'm going to the kitchen for some snack, you want something?" She asked. I shook my head. I was hungry but solving these pieces of puzzles seemed more relevant. I needed to know whom these names belonged to and what relationship I had with 'em. 

She took a step towards the door as I called.

"Talk to your brother he seemed...quite shook,” I said avoiding eye contact. He was an asshole to me but not to his sister. He deserved the explanation she needed to deliver. She nodded and stormed away.

I waited for her to walk away as I smiled in victory.
She left the door open.

"Let's find a library," I mumbled as I tiptoed out of the room. As much as I knew, these damn creatures had heightened senses. They could hear a minute sound and I had to be more careful.

Library was the only place where secrets are written on white pages rather than painted hearts. Maybe that would tell me why am I here? I needed to find the library and read about what these ancestors had done. They hated witches, it makes sense but other than Melissa, that Ayannah chick was a witch, and as far as I remember my mother and Aphrodite are sisters. And as Alatar had told me, Aphrodite was a witch. Which unfortunately makes my mother a witch too. 

Then why in this holy world, Aphrodite was Lucifer's stepmother? Which makes her Kendrio's wife?

Kendrio hated witches, Right? Then why would he be with a witch?

And as much as I know my mother, she would never kill Lucifer's mother. And if she wasn't the one who killed her then someone surely did kill her. Was Kenneth the real culprit or he was forced to do that. Cause no one would like to raise a war against Lucifer; a hybrid.

"It's not working." She seethed in anger as she failed again. This was her fifth attempt and getting no results after wasting so much of her precious time was making her rip the hair out of her scalp.

"It will! Try again!" He snarled at her. He was as angry as her but he knew what did patience meant. He looked at her raven hairs flowing in the air as she waved her hands in the air. 

She chanted a greek spell as flames of fire rose higher but like the last five times they died down as they reached above her.

"I can't do that! I'm not a born witch!" She spat as she tensed at the word 'Born'.

"But you have witch powers! Use them, do something, anything but I want him dead at any cost," He growled while he punched the tree sending the birds flying in the air.

"He is more powerful than you Everett,” She sighed in defeat as she again closed her eyes but like always results were the same: nothing. Having witch powers was both; a blessing and a curse. 

"I understand your concern Effie, but...I lost my everything because of him and the fire of revenge inside me would only blow away when his head would be down my feet," The determination and fire in his eyes scared her. She nodded her head as she stood up from the dirt-filled ground and dusted her priceless dress. 

"You remember Our deal, don't you?" She asked worriedly as she looked up at him.

"No harm will come to your son, I promise." He looked into her eyes holding eyes contact as he took her hands in his.

"Mark your words, Everett." She said determinately.

I had been going through the same hallways but no room looked like a library. I was scared about what would happen to me if someone found me loitering in the open?Draven might have my head.

A bright light shined through my eyes as I looked ahead. I averted my eyes as the light become too much to bear. My heart are related as I heard loud footsteps coming around the corner. 

I was done!

I looked past my shoulder but the other corner was a little far. I had two options here; whether I let that person find me standing in the hallway or run towards the other end which was quite far. 

In short, I was going to get caught both ways.

My breathing get caught as I ran towards the other end. But before I could turn around the corner, a hand was clasped around my mouth as a strong arm was smacked around my waist. Adrenaline rushed through my veins as the person tightened his hold and dragged me into an empty room, which I didn't notice earlier. 

I kicked backward I tried to break free but before I could struggle again, my back was slammed against the wall. 

"Hel-"

Cold pair of lips were planted against my warm ones. I felt him grabbing my wrists as he pinned me to the wall. My eyes were wide open but the darkness was engulfing all the possibility of seeing the face of this man.

I groaned in anger as I felt him deepen the kiss. Judging by the force he had on me was clear to state that I was too much weak to fight this man. I went to speak when he abruptly grabbed my waist. His lips hungrily planted against mine as he slipped his warm tongue into my mouth.
