Chapter 52

  (Your Real Self)

  Castle~

  “Now make a fireball just like this,” Drusilla muttered as Megan nodded. She breathed in, stretching forth her hand, as she muttered the spell that Drusilla had taught her earlier.

  Just as she breathed out the last word, a ball of fire, a mixture of red, blue, and neon colors, appeared on her palm.

  “Arghh” She gasped, as a smile brightened her face. Drusilla smiled back

  “Ok…ok…just keep it that way, I am gonna make a magic shield, after I’m done, you make sure you target the shield and hit it with the fireball…clear?” She asked, as Megan nodded standing in a set position.

  Drusilla muttered some magical spells, as a wall erupted from the ground, having a transparent glass, but really rigid.

  The wall stood in between them, creating a barricade. Drusilla opened her eyes; she peered through the glass and gave Megan a curt nod

  “Make sure you throw it with all your might” She yelled, enough for Megan to hear.

  “Ok…” Megan yelled back

  “At the count of 1, 2….go..” She shouted. Megan breathed in, swinging her hand into the air as she directed the ball which flew directly to the shield.

  It collided with it, giving out a loud bang, and just in a twinkle of an eye, the mighty wall melts to the ground.

  “Phew…..I did it,” Megan yelped in glee but paused when she saw Drusilla going down. Her mouth was wide open and her knees touched the ground. She had this look of amazement in her eyes

  Perplexed, Megan went forward towards her

  “Did I do anything wrong?” She asked, pouting

  “No…no.no.. you didn’t do the wrong thing, you did it. I mean…goodness..that was just a blow, and…and it melted…but..but how?

  It was supposed to just have a crack and perhaps you give more blows, like up to four or five times. But you did it just once and it melted the wall…this is amazing” She rushed her words

  Lazarus who had been watching from up, climbed down the stairs, looking hot as always. He is no longer in his usual discipleship clothes.

  This time around, he wore a sky blue long-sleeve shirt on a black trouser. On his face is a navy blue mask, and his hair is jelled backward, giving him that perfect look.

  Megan’s face heated in a blush as she watched him draw closer. Has she been so blind to see how hot and cute Lazarus is? She hasn’t seen a guy as hot and handsome as he is throughout her high school days and career.

  “You did a good job, Meg, keep it up,” he stated; she smiled, nodding.

  “Erm…that will be all for now dear…you can go freshen up so that we can have lunch” Drusilla stated

  “Ok….bye for now” Megan replied, going into the house.

  They watched her go inside with smiles on their faces, though Lazarus’ own was hidden under the mask

  “So…when are you planning to take her?” Drusilla asked, with a smirk on her face. Lazarus scoffs

  “Take her…where?” He grinned

  She rolled her eyes, hitting his shoulder, playfully

  “Don’t tell me you don’t know what I’m talking about…when are you gonna get intimate with her, or perhaps mark her? She is yours already; why not fully claim your right”

  Lazarus chuckled, ruffling his hair

  “I don’t wanna rush her…yea..she might not be a virgin..but, the truth is we are just getting to know each other.

  She hated me more than the devil the first time we met; well, it wasn’t a pleasant meeting, though" he chuckled, remembering the club scene.

  “And about the marking…I don’t wanna do it now…if she was just a normal human I would have done it since, but she is a lily.

  It might create further complications…I don’t wanna risk it yet. I want everything to be solved. I want her to be free from the hands of those enemies … Then…” he shrugged

  “I will do the right thing..” he completed his statement. She nodded

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  “I think you are right…I actually didn’t think of that. I pray it ends fast…I can’t wait to see my grandchildren” She mouthed

  He laughed out

  “What….come on…stop going there yet..” he smiled

  “You are getting old boy…you need to have children…or don’t you want children..”

  “Nah…I want them…lots of them..” he pinched her nose, chuckling. She slapped his hand and walked into the house.

  He heaved a sigh, ruffling his hair again.

  “We haven’t even shared a k**s, and she is talking about s*x…gawd, will she even allow me to touch her?” He thought, referring to Megan

  Violet’s POV

  Tucking my hair behind my ear, I let out a smirk, looking into the wall mirror. Well, my journey to get Megan has just begun.

  However, I have been trying to track her for the past few days now and also have been practicing some magic spells on how to tam theme.

  From what I have read about lilies, they don’t really need to say spells before performing magic; they have it in them already, making them more powerful than any other mystic creatures.

  “Gosh, this hair isn’t staying…I will just have to bond it up,” I muttered, picking up a hair band, as I wrapped my hair in a ponytail. The blue turtle neck blouse on the navy blue skirt suits me perfectly, bringing out my shapes, just the way I want it.

  Picking up my purse, I headed out of the rented apartment, having one place in mind. Well, that’s the Johnson’s mansion. I think it’s time I pay her parent a visit. I smirk.

  “Ma’am…here…you haven’t..”

  “Keep the change” I snapped at the taxi driver, coming down from the car. I could see how happy he was before driving off. Whatever; I pray my mission works.

  Lest I forget, Oscar’s corpse has been found in my apartment in Brazil, but I was smart enough to use fake records when lounging in the suite, so I can never be tracked. Not even the CCTV footage will bring out anything relating to me.

  Megan has also been considered missing. After some days of her parents not hearing from her, I think they tried reaching her but couldn’t; I trust her father to always be alert.

  He sent his guards to cover the scene, and they came back with bad news. Megan is missing…haaha, so I am here to offer my condolence, preparing for her future death.

  But one thing they don’t know is how the letter of Megan’s kidnap got to her room. Well, that was my doing; I wrote about her being kidnapped and asked them not to bother for a ransom… hahaha..smart, right?

  “Good morning, sirs,” I greeted the two detectives who were coming out of the building while I went in.

  “Why is all this happening to me…why are the kidnappers not saying anything…why... Why….why my child..my only child?” Dinah yelled in tears as her husband tried comforting her.

  “We will find her okay…we will..please stop all this darling..please” he muttered, she pushed him off

  “I don’t need any comforting words; I need my daughter,” She snapped. Mr. Johnson rubbed his temple in frustration. She didn’t wait for any of his words as she ran up the stairs

  I have been at the entrance for a while now watching them, but they were oblivious of this. Bringing out a handkerchief, I blew my nose into it, commanding tears to come out of my eyes.

  I walked in making my presence known with the fake tears.

  “Mr. Johnson,” I called in a croaking voice, one look at me; you will never know that I was faking it; damn, I am a professional.

  “Oh my gawd…Violet…come here…how are you?” he asked, I went forward to hug him, crying into his shirt, and he patted my back

  “I miss her, why..why are they doing this to my friend…what has she done to be in this position.” I cried.

  “It’s ok Violet, it’s ok. We are trying our best to track them. Don’t worry; very soon, Megan will be here with us again.” He muttered

  I nodded, cleaning my tears

  “Her fans will really be worried”

  He sighed

  “They are the ones giving us a hard time…but we will make progress. Gracie is also trying her best to keep the fans in check.”

  “What about Mum..how is she taking this..” I sniffed in

  “Hmm…she has been crying and yelling at me all day…I can’t even calm her down any longer. She has been skipping her meals, getting drowned in depression.

  I wish there was someone who could help me speak to her and make her eat something.” He stated

  “Hmmm…let me see if she can listen to me. It’s not a good thing for her to starve herself during this hard time. She needs to be strong for Megan…because I believe that very soon she will be found” I noted. He nodded

  “I hope she listens to you; please try your best to convince her. She is in her room.”

  He stood up

  “I have a meeting to attend to…it has to do with this case though…be good, okay?” he touched my shoulder comfortingly. I nodded, watching him leave with a lingering smile on my face.

  ~~~~~

  Getting to Dinah’s room, Violet met her sobbing on the bed. The door was not locked, so she had the privilege to go in. Dinah didn’t notice her entrance until she got to the bed.

  “Oh my god, Mum, why are you doing this to yourself?” Violet cried out, going to hug her. Dinah’s sob increased upon seeing Violet.

  “My child….I need my child” Dinah muttered, Violet nodded, placed her hands on her cheeks, and cleaned off the tears

  “You don’t need to worry mum…I’m trusting in God and believing that Megan will be found soon. You don’t have to drown yourself in tears and starvation. Promise me mum…promise me that you will take something.

  Megan will not be happy to see you in this condition. She wants you to be strong for her to be found…okay” Violet comforted her with petting words as Dinah nodded

  Violet smiled and hugged her firmly, before releasing it.

  “Fine…I will get you a cup of coffee first and ask the cook to make something for you…are you ok with that?”

  Dinah nodded, cleaning off the remaining tears from her eyes. She was glad that someone came to comfort her with suiting words she hadn’t heard from anyone.

  Though, she has been comforted several times but never gave in. But Violet just reminds her of Megan and the fact that they are friends, she won’t wanna turn her down.

  “Make me tea instead…” She managed to speak as Violet nodded. She placed a soft kiss on her cheek before going out

  Striding down the stairs, she felt fulfilled; she was one step to make her plans be fulfilled. She walked into the kitchen and met the cook. She told her to make something soft for Megan’s mum and proceeded to make the tea.

  When she was done with it, she placed the teapot and cup on a tray, heading towards the stairs. She made her way up, and just at the bent corner before turning into the hallway, she paused to look around to see if there wasn’t anyone around.

  A smile brightened up her face on recognizing the fact that no one was present. Her eyes suddenly turned black, her mouth moving in rhythm; she muttered a spell, bringing out her tongue.

  And just immediately, a life fog of smoke erupted from it and entered the tea. She stirred the tea again with the hope of proceeding on her journey. She came out of her hiding point only to collide with Lottie.

  The tray fell off her hands as the teapot crashed to the ground, splitting the tea as the pot broke. Violet flared in rage

  “Are you blind…can’t you watch your way?” She yelled with all her might. She wasn’t expecting anyone to just appear in front of her and hit it off, how on earth did this freaky maid get here when she was clearly not here earlier, she thought.

  And with the look of things, Lottie seemed to have hit the tray on purpose because she had held it firmly.

  She was expecting Lottie to shiver in fear of being a maid. Well, that’s how they do when being yelled on by an important visitor to the family, but Lottie only had an expressionless look on her face.

  She didn’t look bothered

  “Are you mad…can’t you even apologize?” Violet yelled, trying to slap her, but Lottie dodged it swiftly. She turned to face Violet with a smirk

  “You don’t need to bother about the tea; I will just make another one and give it to her,” Lottie said and tried leaving, but Violet pushed her back

  “How dare you work out of me. Huhn..what has gotten into you, this pig..do you know who I am to this family…treat me with some respect, miss,” She snaps. Lottie scoffed

  “Stop acting like a sissy, Violet; stop pretending to be who you are not. You and I know that you did not have a good time with Megan before she went missing.

  So why are you here to act like you like her..what’s your mission in this family..huh” Lottie yelled at her. Violet looked shocked

  “How dare you…how dare you Lottie…haahaahaa..I think you don’t know the real me because if you do, you would be pleading for your life right now” She growled

  Lottie looked at her funnily and laughed out hieratically

  “ You are the one to be begging for your life if you know who you are talking to…and lest I forget, I know you, Violet, I know the real you. But trust me..I would rather die than watch you destroy this family.

  And as for Megan…you will never get her, not in your dreams or this present life. haaha” She laughed out again, taking a step forward but stopped to look at Violet's stunned face

  “I will advise you to leave now before I come back here…if you step your feet into that room, then you will die... Just a piece of advice, leave now that you have the time to. Goodbye,” She snapped, picking up the broken pot as she left.

  Violet could feel heat coming out of her, as her head banged. Who the hell is Lottie? If she is a vampire, then she would have felt it, she doesn’t smell like a witch either; she could feel something strange covering her up.

  She smelt like a normal human, but this isn’t just right.

  What did she mean when she said she knows about her real self, does that mean that…

  “No…no…it’s not possible..I will be back for you, Lottie, trust me. I might fail now, but I will go and do my assignment properly this time…harghh…bastard,” She yelled, pulling off the hairband and heading out of the building.
