Child of prophecy

Chapter 8

The Bermuda triangle

"aunt Grace, why won't my mom come and stay with us?" Linn asked on the third day after their fake accident. They are presently seated at Grace's private dining having their dinner. Grace put down her cutlery and stared at Linn for a short while before answering,

"remember when you were five years old and our ancestor Katherine told you; you are the child of prophecy?" Linn nodded her head in response.

"you see little one, long ago when Katherine was still alive, it was her destiny to kill the dark lord. Now at that time, she might have been a powerful witch but she could kill the dark lord if she remained chaste. Along the way of her quest she got defiled and could no longer fulfill her destiny. And that's why you are the child of prophecy" Grace said clapping for herself with a proud smile.

"that's not even the complete story" Linn told her without batting an eye.

"I'm the adult and I say its correct, you've never heard the story by the way" Grace replied picking up her cutlery.

"Katherine told me the whole story and even how she was able to put the dark lord to sleep. My question was why can't my mom come here?" Linn asked again with a straight face.

"I wonder sometimes who the adult is between us" Grace muttered under her breath.

"Linn you are here because you need protection, that's why we kept on traveling for the past four years. Your mother stayed back to help protect the other supernaturals who haven't gone dark. No one can find you here, I got to know about this place because it was going to come in handy one day" Grace said already getting up to pack up the dishes.

"and no more questions young lady" she added.

"just one more question please" Linn pleaded.

"I answer and you go to your room and stop bothering me" Grace said entering the kitchen.

"OK. How did you build this place, I mean its modern than some countries in the real world, this question has been bugging me since I got here" Linn asked as Grace kept the plates into the dish washer, she then turned around and extended her right hand to Linn which contained one black ring.

"you see this ring little one, it is called a spatal ring or better still a storage ring. I can store two estates in here and its not even heavy. There are three types of spatal rings depending on the amount of space. The black one is the highest on the list, followed by blue and then white" she ended her long speech, still flexing the ring in front of Linn.

" I'm off to my room" Linn said walking out of the kitchen.

"thought she was gonna be wowed, what a cold kid" Grace whispered.

"you do know I have vampire hearing right?" Linn shouted from across the hall. Grace rolled her eyes and headed to her room.

Richardson villa

Liz was at the dining having her supper when Lewis threw some papers on the table.

"what is this?" Liz asked picking them up.

"I want a divorce Lizette" Lewis said

"is it April fools already? you ain't getting me this year babe" Liz said smiling.

"I'm serious" Lewis said frowning at her nonchalant attitude

"w.why do you want a divorce?" Liz asked already trembling.

"Lizette for four years I haven't seen my daughter, she hasn't been to school, was not able to celebrate her birthday with her and when I complained you said your aunt was doing it so you could rest. What sort of mother gives that type of excuse? Did you even love her? And all of a sudden her plane got missing, possibility she's death or stuck in the Bermuda triangle which is the same as death" Lewis said, Liz was already in tears with her head down.

"its either you provide my daughter or you sign the papers and mind you I'm taking all your wealth from you cause you don't deserve any of this" Lewis said and turned his back on her walking towards the door.

"you never loved me did you?" Liz said sniffing back her tears, Lewis paused at the door, stood still for five minutes and opened the door.

"you dared to bring me divorce papers and threaten to take my family's company?" She said getting up and walking towards him, "you think I don't know you married me cause of my family's money?" she said and turned Lewis to face her and gave him an ear deafening slap that resounded through the room. Lewis held his cheek and looked at Lizette with shock on his face, a drop of blood descended at the corners of his mouth.

"I made you president of my family company because I had other businesses to take care of, the witches coven which I'm the head. And you know the dark lord rose four years ago and I've been busy trying to locate him with everything I've got, I sent my daughter away so I could protect herfrom her damned fate. Do you seriously think I don't and never missed her? Do you seriously think I was happy been separated from her? I'm broken okay" she said crying heavily, Lewis sent his hand to touch her.

"you want a divorce, fine by me. But I'll make sure I leave you pennyless, now I want you to leave my house before I rage down fire on you" Lewis stood looking at her wondering if he should apologize or not

"LEAVE!!!!!!" Liz shouted with so much force that pushed Lewis out of the house and she used telepathy to close the door, after staring at the door for about five minutes she heard Lewis drive out before she slumped on the floor and continued crying.

Ms Jenn hurried to her and helped her to room.

" We both know he never loved you, hold yourself together dear one, for the road is still long and hard and you must tread on it carefully" she said and left crying Liz alone to herself as she added the tears.
