I caught a glimpse of what was about to happen, I noticed the fear in their eyes and the way mum was breathing frantically.
she gently opened her eyes before she stretched her hand towards me, my heart sped rapidly at the thought of anything happening to her.
" take... take care of your brothers" she stammered.
I frantically shook my head, " shhh... everything is going to be alright" I urged her, because I don't want anything to happen to her, yet she insisted, almost like she knew her time was due.
I noticed the way my brothers came closer to her before they hugged her, I was trying so hard to be strong, even though I know I can't, I then made her look at me intently in the eyes, which she did.
"Please calm down, because everything would be alright".
she shook her head, it was evident enough that she was about to give up, she started shaking her head violently, and a single tear managed to stain the side of her eyes, making her look even more vulnerable.
I hate to feel this sought of pain, but I don't have a choice, my heart palpitates at the thought of anything happening to my mother, I don't want anything to happen here.
I drew in a deep breath while trying to get a grip on myself, only to hear the gentle voice of the witch.
" you can come outside now, they are gone" she urged, we followed her Instructions, before I struggled with mum, while trying to take her outside the basement, I then gently placed her on the bed. I dart my eyes to different environments because I want to be sure that no one was looking at me, or that the enemies were still lurking around.
the witch stared at me, " you don't need to worry, I made sure they have left " she said, I nodded in response and I'm glad.
the witch checked her pulse, then the spear was still being shoved inside of her, which made me feel even more pain when I noticed the way my mother grimaced in pain.
she shook her head violently while trying to calm herself down, " I can't continue living in this world, I just want to meet my mate, let me go and meet my mate" she cried, I felt her pain and I know what she was passing through, I couldn't bring myself to say a word, I felt like the world was not being fair to me, I sobbed.
then after some time, the witch applied some herbal remedies to her wound, but she showed no attempts to bring out the spare that was shoved inside her, the spear that was laced with poison.
she drew in a deep breath before she turned to me, I stared at my younger ones who were close to mum, they were both sobbing and I hate the fact that they have to see my mother bleeding profusely, right in front of their eyes. it made me feel like I have failed as a sister.
"come here, I have something to tell you," the witch said while directing her gaze to me.
"then why can't you say it here?" Keri, who has always been the curious one, urged the witch.
" I have to tell your sister herself okey while you take care of mum," the witch said with a stretched smile on her face. I like the way she was hospitable towards us.
I nodded before we both went outside, she stared at me deeply in the eyes before she let out a sigh and said.
"I came to understand how you love your mother, and I have a solution for your problem, despite the poison being very deadly..."
"Really what could be the solution, I'm ready to do anything to save my mother," I said excitedly.
"Anything?".
"yes, anything.
she drew in a deep breath, before she said, " what I'm about to tell you, I'll see if you are still ready to do anything" she said, which made me furrow my brows.
"I'm willing to make a mixture, that can cure her, because right now, what I did to her would only keep her alive for three weeks and no more than that," she said which made me take a deep breath, I felt pain, because I don't want anything to happen to my mum.
" but the mixture I'm telling you about, requires the blood of the vampire king, before the ingredients can be complete, so if you want to safe your mother, you have less than three weeks to bring the blood of the vampire king," she said. her words hit me hard, they came to me like a bombshell, I couldn't bring myself to say a word, I was feeling so much hurt, when her words came seeping in, I tried as much to keep calm, but I couldn't matter no how hard I tried.
" Now it's left for you to make a decision," she said before she left while leaving me standing in the same spot, I couldn't move an inch, I was feeling scared, and my heart was palpitating at the slight thought of what would eventually happen to me, I couldn't bring myself to say a word, but deep within me, I can feel it, I can feel everything, the pain, the hurt, the thought of being a failure, of not being able to help my father nor my mother.
I have to embark on this journey because I have failed to protect my father and I can't also fail to protect my mother as well, I drew in a deep breath while trying to calm myself down before I met the witch who was preparing a hot coffee in the kitchen.
"I have thought about it and I'm going to embark on this journey," I said to her, she smiled at me before she asked.
"Every living creature, is scared of the vampire king, are you sure you can do this?" she asked to be sure and yet I still nodded adamantly.
