Chapter 27
" We are not" he replies.
" You have to put more effort be more relaxed, try again."
I tried again.
"Are we invisible?"
"Yes, you did it Alex".
"Aren't they going to find us?"
"Only powerful witches can see us but l don't think they are witches but vampires."
" What the hell!
"What happened".
"Another set of people are tracking us and they seem to see us."
"What!
"Who are they?"
"I don't know let's go."
" Lord Draven!
"Helena!
"We found them."
" Mom" l called as waves of emotions gush through me.
"My daughter, l found you" she cried.
Why did this woman betray my mother and made me a sacrifical lamb?
"Helena" she called and hug me tightly.
"Mom"l called as tears well up in my eyes, have grown to love this woman.
"Mother why did you lie to me, when where you planning to tell me who l truly am?
When?"
She freed herself from my embrace and gasped in surprise.
"You know already?" She asks as tears fall freely from her eyes.
"Yes mother, l know everything how you betrayed my real mother,you are a werewolf and how am going to be used to break the curse of my mother, l know it all."
She uses her hand to cover her mouth as she burst out crying.
"Am wicked Helena,l killed Alva *because l was envious.l know you are in this mess because of me, if l didn't betray Alva everything would have been normal, you would have grown* to have the love of your parents and wouldn't be the Tribrid everyone is looking for.
I caused it all, l know l don't deserve your forgiveness.
Sometimes l wonder why am not the one to be used for the sacrifice.
Am sorry l never said anything, l was afraid,l don't want you to hate me, am truly sorry" She cried.
"Mother! I called.
" No my dear, don't call me mother, l don't deserve it, am a traitor, l allow jealousy to take over me."
"Mother don't be like this, l forgive you,it's all in the past now, the deed as already be done, so please don't feel guilty anymore.
I know my mother placed a curse on you, when l die you die, that's the reason l will fight to stay alive.
I won't die but live to grow up together with you.
No matter what happens, you are still the one who bought me into this world and took care of me and for that am grateful, so please don't tell me to stop calling you mother, l have your blood in me also." I said as l hug her.
"Helena! She cried.
"You are just like Alva, am truly sorry, am sorry."
"Who are you? Draven asked the lady that came with my mother.
I almost forgot they are here.
My mother bow in respect, so was the lady, is he that powerful?"
"Greetings My Lord, please forgive our manners" they both said.
"Draven nodded in response."
"Where was my mother buried?" I asked.
"Holly high School"she replied.
"What?
"How is that possible?" I asked.
"I know you might have heard that Lord Badmus built it to create a bond between humans and vampires, but that's a facade.
"Alva was buried there Eighteen years ago by Lord Dylan, before he was found dead,he wrote a letter and in the letter his wish was for Alva's grave to be taken care of and not to be tampered with.As the original vampire Lord even in death he is respected.
But everynight, the grave kept glowing.
It soon came to the knowledge of the paraphyschologist in Los Angeles.
And they started to inspect the grave and did research on it.
Lord Badmus built a fence around Alva's grave to keep the paraphyschologist from coming but they kept coming.
To protect the secret of the supernaturals he had no other choice but to turn Lord Dylan's house to a school.
Many *humans have always fantasized on meeting vampires so it wasn't hard* , the school developed quickly.
Lord *Badmus turned Alva's grave to an office in the school and soon the paraphyschologist stopped coming, they couldn't find* the grave anymore.
"Your mother's Grave is the principal's office and your principal is a very powerful witch, the only witch in the school."
"Draven did you know about this? I asked.
"Yes,l knew" he replied.
"Lord Draven" my mother corrected.
" Mom Lord Draven is my mate"
" What ?
"Yes mother"
"That's not possible,he has a mate".
"Ariana is not his mate mother."
"Beatrice, your daughter is my mate, please hand over her to me willing, after this is all over l will prove to you that l truly love her."
"Yes my Lord, please protect her."
"I will, even if it cost me my life."
"Irene, are they still tracking her?"
" Yes l put a protective wall around us, they can't find us."
"Thanks Irene"
"Who are you?" Lord Draven asked lrene the second time.
"My name is Irene my Lord am a witch."
"A witch indeed!
"Helena! Draven called and l walk closer to him.
"I want you to bound Irene in electric chains, you can do it" he whispered.
"But
" No but, do as l have said" he whispered
"Okay" l replied and take a deep breath, lrene and mother were watching us whispering to each other.
I guess they are wondering what we are talking about.
I closed my eyes and take a deep breath, l felt relaxed.
I want Irene my mother's friend be bound with electric chains, I said inwardly.
I open my eyes slowly but my eyes widened at the sight in front of me.
"You are a demon! Mother and l said together in shock.
"Get me her blood" The demon Lord
said.
Vivan charged towards Helena with the dagger in her hand.
Helena remain calm.
I must not be afraid she said inwardly.
In a blink of an eye Vivan was pushed back with great force as she used her body to hit the wall.
The dagger fell off her hand.
The demon Lord was enraged.
"Good for nothing witch" he cursed Vivan.
And ran to pick the dagger.
He threw a ball of lightening on Beatrice.
aaaaaaaah Beatrice groaned in pain.
"Mother! Helena called and squat before her.
"Watch out" Beatrice yelled as she saw the dagger being thrown at Helena.
But it was too late.
He groaned in pain and slumped to the ground.
"Draven! Helena called and ran to meet him.
"Lord Draven! Beatrice called.
Blood was oozing out from his chest.
"Draven! Helena cried.
"Why did you save me?How am l supposed to leave without you.
"Alex, for you l have no regrets." He said and coughed out blood.
No! No! No Helena cried and there was heavy wind, the ground started choking and her hair started floating.
"Save Lord Draven, vivan save him l beg you" Beatrice said to Vivan who was lying weakly at the other end of the room.
"Azeezeel you dare to hurt the man l love? " Helena's voice echoed through the castle.
Her eyes turned white.
Retreat the demon Lord said to his army who were outside the castle.
"No! No! No! Helena cried as her voice echoed through
and all demons dropped dead.
All the witches rushed in.
"Save Lord Draven" Beatrice cried.
The powerful witch who happens to be the principal rushed to meet Lord Draven.
The witches surrounded him.
Helena walked up to the demon Lord and slit his throat, he dropped dead.
The dagger won't kill him but he is loosing a lot of blood he needs to feed immediately.
"Let him feed on his mate.". An unfamilar voice echoed through the castle.
"Alva! Beatrice called.
"Beatrice now my soul can be at rest, my daughter didn't end up like me
she found true love.
I hereby break the curse l placed on the vampires.
Not all vampires are like Dylan afterall.
"Mother! Helena called.
"You are my mother?the woman have been seeing in my dreams?"
"My daughter! Am happy your life turned out different from mine."
Am happy you now know who you really her."
"Take care of yourself and cherish him
Now go feed your mate or he dies."
"Beatrice you have done well in raising my daughter."
"I break the curse l placed on you.
You can now live a free life."
"I love you Alex"
She said and smiled geniunely and disappeared.
"Mother! Icalled and she was gone.
"He should feed on me" Helena said.
Helena bent over Lord Draven and placed her neck on his lips.
"Feed from me please" Helena begged.
But Draven nodded negativity.
"Please Draven." She begged.
"Lord Draven you have to feed from her since she is your mate you will recover quickly."
"But again he nodded negatively."
"What should l do? He v'e insisted on feeding on me.
Helena use magic to cut her arm and the blood dropped on Lord Draven lips.
His body tenses and his fangs were out.
He couldn't control himself anymore.
He digged his fangs into her arm and fed on her until she became limp and fell on the floor.
"Behead Azezeel throw his head in the furnace cut his body into pieces and throw them into the forest" Helena said and blanked out.

Her eyes fluttered open, she stared intensely at the handsome man lying beside him.
The man who was willing to lay down his life for her.
He coughed slightly and opened his eyes slowly.
"Draven! She called and help me sit up.
"Alex!where is she?" He asked.
"Am here Draven."
"Alex!
"Yes am here."
"Were you hurt?"
"No!
"How are you feeling?"
"Am fine, am sorry Helena l couldn't protect you."
"How do you mean, how were you supposed to protect me?"
"You almost died Draven, you almost died on me" l cried.
"Am sorry l had to feed on you."
"Stop it, you are hurting my feelings."
"Thank you for saving me, l love you so much Draven.
"I love you too Alex."
"Where is my father?"
"He is with his first wife, she has put to bed."
"What! How is that possible?"
"The curse has been broken."
"My mother broke the curse because of you Draven because of the sincere love you showed towards me and she told me to cherish you."
"Where is vivan?"
"She has been banished and they destroyed all her magic."
"Where is your mother?"
"She disappeared afterwards."
"I don't think she will ever come back."
Jimmy tries to discourage me at first but he saw how determined I was.
" Why not stick to Abuja babes Austin, with your personality I expect something more not a teenage village girl who knows nothing about the city life. Look at my wife Helen, we met in Abuja and I found out we're from the same place. She lived all her life in Abuja, graduated from University of Abuja and working in a bank. I'm equally doing well as a lawyer. We understand, love and respect each other. Love, respect and beauty are everywhere in Abuja... maybe you choose to remain blind to it. I'm not trying to discourage you but I don't want you to regret this decision of yours later..." Jimmy said concerned.
I understand his fears but I had none at the moment. My mind was strongly made up for Oby.
No other woman gets me like she does.
"Jimmy, you need not to worry...I have never be sure of anything as i am with Oby. I have dated Abuja girls in the past, none of them appeal to me like Oby does. I'm not a womanizer, I don't just see a woman and jump into her, Oby was special and unique. I'm glad you got your lucks with a city lady...Helen, but not everyone is meant to marry from the city. I found a wife material in Oby and I'm not relenting. Is either her or none other. I'm serious Jimmy...damn serious. By next week I will be traveling to see her father maybe from there I will know what is the next big step for me.
My other friend Jerome try to warn me too.
Jerome is a single young man doing well for himself.
He was well to do and was already a landlord in Abuja at his age. He was just a year older than me but we were great pals.
He was working in an oil company while I work as a real estate agent.
Business was also looking good at my end and I was doing well for myself just like my other friends.
The only thing lacking in my life was a beautiful wife to compliment me
I finally found one that my heart is at peace with, I will not let anyone discourage me.
Jerome has his say, he tries every means possible to discourage me. He even try to hook me up with some ladies.
He sent pictures and asked me to make my choice
Curvy, beautiful and gorgeous looking ladies but none was to my taste.
Absolutely none.
Jerome forced me to hang out with them but that was all to it.
I refused his push in taking anyone home with me.
He saw how serious I was and knew nothing was going to make me change my mind.
He said probably I have been charmed by either Oby or her village witch.
I agreed and laughed it off.
The week I supposed to travel came, i hardly travel with my car.
It was a very long journey, I can't be found driving such a long distance alone.
I either fly on an aeroplane and drop in the nearest airport close to Oby's state or I use the normal public bus and travel down.
I traveled by road and it was very late when I got to her state
I lodged in a hotel until the following morning.
Oby gave me her father's phone number and I have spoken to him twice and informed him of my coming.
He seems nice and responded well to me.
I silently hope he is not mistaking me as somebody interested in buying his land.
Because according to what Oby told me, he was in desperate need of a buyer and even ready to beat down the price if he sees a serious buyer soon enough.
