Continuation From the Last Episode:
The policemen came within the space of ten minutes and took the body of Julia to the nearest hospital immediately.
“What happened?” One of the police men, John, who was left behind to question the girls, asked the twins.
“We don’t know good officers,” Arabella began, speaking up before her twin could, “I and my twin sister were playing when we suddenly heard the shout of our mother and we ran up to her room and found out she was struggling for her life.”
“Oh it must be awful to you both, don’t worry, your mother will be fine.” The policeman said, trying to give them hope.
“Thank you, good officer.” Arabella said crying and hugging Aurora.

Julia was pronounced dead by the doctor in charge on the arrival of the policemen.
“She died before she was brought here.” The doctor continued. “It’s too late officers.” They kept Julia’s body at the mortuary owned by the hospital.
The policemen went back to inform the kids and Arabella cried the loudest as soon as they were told. Hitting and rolling herself on the floor as the police tried to hold her, pitying her.
“Do you have any living relatives?” The same policeman, John, who had stayed behind with them, asked.
“Yes officer.” Aurora spoke up beating her twin sister to it.
“Who can that be?” John asked
Ignoring Arabella glares, Aurora answered. “My grandmother Marita is from my mother’s side, but she’s sick and bedridden officer.”
“Where does she live?” He demanded.
“It’s an hour drive from here, officer.” Aurora replied.
“Do you know the way to her house?” He queried.
“Yes officer.”
“Okay, lock up this place let’s drive you girls to meet your grandma Marita.” The officer said and they did exactly that. Some of the policemen went back to the station and one followed the officer who was questioning both girl’s.
One Hour Later met Arabella, Aurora and the two policemen at the neat bungalow of Mrs Marita which was flooded with lights.
The housekeeper who worked for Marita opened the door once she saw the twins.
She offered the policemen a seat which they gently declined and requested to see Marita immediately.
“Okay officers.” The housekeeper said and asked the girls with her eyes ‘What’s the problem’? And when both ignored her stares, she went into one of the rooms and came out with Grandma Marita, who was wheeled out of her room.
“What happened Aurora?” The old woman with white hair who looked to be her early 100s asked.
“It’s your daughter Mrs Marita.” John answered and went on to explain about her death and which hospital she is. “I am so sorry Mrs Marita.”
“Thank you.” Marita said and the two police men left. “Take me back to my room and Arabella and Aurora come with me.” She said and the housekeeper did as instructed.
She wanted to carry Marita and place her on her bed but the old woman refused. “Don’t worry my grandchildren are here, they will help me.” She told the housekeeper. “You can go Lily.”
The housekeeper (Lily) left her room and motion for the girls to sit on her bed which she did. “Why did you do that Arabella, killing Julia?” Marita asked surprising Aurora the most.
“You see the reason why I never wanted to tell the police we have a psycho grandmother?” She directed her statement to Aurora.
“Don’t call grandmother that Arabella.” Aurora said softly. “She is way older than you and deserves some respect.”
“Respect my foot.” Arabella said angrily and stood up from the bed, “I am done for tonight, I am going to sleep.” She added and wanted to walk out of the room but Marita’s voice stopped her.
“You have drawn the attention of an evil eye to you Arabella.”
Ignoring that, Arabella walked out angrily.
“Do not follow her path Aurora, doom awaits the path she chose to walk.” Marita said and yawned. “I feel sleepy, can you please-” she didn’t get to complete her statement when Aurora interrupted her.
“Of course grandma.” She said knowing what her grandmother wanted to tell her. She carried the light old lady carefully and dropped her on the bed. Before Marita’s head would touch her pillow, she had slept off. k×ssing her grandmother’s forehead gently. “Goodnight grandmother.” She left her room and headed for the room she shared with her twin whenever they paid a visit to their grandmother.
“I hope you didn’t tell that psycho anything?” Arabella asked immediately Aurora was in the room, her tone cold.
“No, I didn’t breathe a word to Grandma after you left. She slept off almost immediately.”
“Good.” Arabella said and her voice changed and was low. “What happened back in the house, you know it was a mistake, right?”
“I know.” Aurora answered.
“Thank you sis for not ranting me out.” Arabella said smiling.
Aurora smiled back.

One week Later, Julia was laid to rest amidst tears.
____
8pm
“Aurora, come.” Marita whispered to the girl who was in her room. Since the night the incidence happened, they have been living with her.
Aurora stood up from the ground where she was reading a novel and went to sit on the bed, holding her grandmother’s hand.
“I am here Grandma.”
“There is something you must know, Aurora.” Marita said and continued. “My great grandmother is not from here.”
“I don’t understand you grandma.”
“She was not from this Realm, where she came from was a different Realm. She was a powerful sorceress in that Realm, but she and her sister, who is as powerful as her, got into a fight and she left the Realm for this.”
“I still don’t understand you grandma.”
“Do you believe in the supernatural? Fairies, goblins, elves, mermaids, vampires, witches, dragons, etc?”
“They only exist in novels grandma.”
“No, they truly exist but they are in a different Realm and that Realm is where my great grandmother is from.” Marita told her. “When she came here, she realised she was aging like the rest of the humans and when she tried to find out why, she was shown a vision. A descendant of hers will have to help someone whom her sister will place a powerful curse on and will be the one to end her life. I thought I would be the one but I wasn’t, nor was Julia and now the lot has fallen on you. Arabella has a dark heart like my great grandmother’s sister, but you have a pure heart.”
“Are you trying to say I have the blood of a Witch and I will lift up a curse I know nothing of?”
“Yes Aurora, It’s the blood of the Ancients that runs through our veins and the forms pass, but the circle of life remains and now it is your turn.” Marita said softly. “I am old now and most of my powers are long gone.” She added.
“What if I am not the one grandma, what if it is one of my children?”
“No, you have a pure heart and the gods have chosen you, once you enter the Realm with the cursed one, you will understand.” Marita told Aurora and lifted the locket necklace she always wore and opened it, in it was a shiny diamond and she gave it to Aurora who collected it. “Keep that with you always for the battle you are going to embark on will be a tough one. Do not allow your twin sister to see this, protect it.”
“What is this grandmother?” Aurora asked in awe of the shiny diamond which seemed to glow the more once it touched her fingers.
“That is my great grandmother’s powers. To unlock the powers within it, you will have to sing the Witch song, draw your head nearer, let me whisper the song into your ear.” Marita said and Aurora did as told. “The song goes like this;
‘Mother Earth
I offer to you this song
For I am earth
and to the Earth, I belong
Mother Earth
help me grow as you need me to
Mother Earth
show me what I am here to do
Cause I am growing, I am changing
on this darkest day
I am growing, I am changing
in my darkest place
I am growing, I am changing
on this darkest day
I am growing, I am changing
in my darkest place’
“Sing it only when you have entered the Realm with the cursed one and don’t worry, you will find the curse one.” Marita said and Aurora straightened up. Marita gave the locket to Aurora to keep the diamond in,side. “Remember, do not show Arabella this or let her see it. Keep it safe.”
Arabella stood on the door eavesdropping on their conversation.

Chapter 6️⃣
Continuation From the Last Episode:
Smiling to no one in particular, Arabella left the door.
“I will grandma.” Aurora said.
“My time has come, child, remember not to allow evil rule your heart no matter what, temptation will come but try to defeat it.” Marita told Aurora yawing. “I feel sleepy.”
“Good night grandma.” Aurora said and pecked her both cheeks then stood up from the bed and placed the diamond into the locket. She picked up her novel and left for her room.
“Where were you!” Arabella demanded once she saw her twin.
“With Grandma, why?”
Arabella stared at Aurora’s neck and couldn’t see the necklace, she stared at her hands and didn’t see it. She saw the novel.
“Can I see that?” Arabella requested and Aurora gave her the book immediately. Checking it, she didn’t see the necklace and gave the novel back to Aurora. “Did grandma tell you anything?”
“Nope, she didn’t.” Aurora answered going to the other side of the bed, since they shared the Queen size bed, and sit down to continue reading her novel.
The next day, Marita didn’t wake up.
A week later she was buried beside her daughter.
Their family lawyer read out the will their late mother and grandmother had entrusted to him. Arabella inherited half of everything including the duplex. Aurora on the other hand inherited Marita house and some cash.
Arabella sold her own share of properties including the duplex and left Bradford.
Aurora put her own money into good use and further her education.
Five Years later, Aurora, now 23, graduated from law school as one of the best students and was offered a job at one of the leading law firms as she was best as a criminal law attorney. Ever since Arabella left Bradford, Aurora hasn’t heard a word from her. She hoped Arabella is safe and alive wherever she is.

“RL failed to keep his promise Willow, you need to eliminate him.” Philip, one of the leading drug dealer bosses, told Willow who could only nod his head. They were sitting opposite each other with one other. Willow’s face mask covered almost all his face except for his eyes and mouth. He could hold his breath as much as he could whenever he was in a meeting with any of the Mafia bosses.
Willow was wearing a black Jean and a black top which made his muscles stand out, he wore a pair of black sneakers to go with. His long dark hair packed in a ponytail.
“PJ couldn’t pay up the huge money he collected form us. He has went into hiding with his wife and daughter.” David- he sell and deals with all kinds of weapons and was also new in the Mafia world- also told Willow who nodded his head. “I need you to clear him with his family off the surface of the earth.”
“Done.” Willow said and left abruptly without another word.
“How rude.” David said and faced Philip, “Are you sure he is capable of taking care of the job?”
“Absolutely David.” Philip replied.
“He didn’t even ask for his half payment for the jobs he is about to carry out.” David said after a while.
“Does he look like he is killing for the money, David? Lucifer kills for fun, and every Mafia boss knows this, that is why we call him to do the killings and he won’t collect a dime from us.” Philip told his friend.
“Wow, he is Lucifer?”
“Yeah.”
“I thought the Lucifer I had always heard my late father would be old and not looking so young and dresses simple.”
“No one knows his secret of his youthfulness, but mind you, he may look so simple, but he is extremely dangerous.”
“I know, my father says a lot about him. If this is Lucifer I have been hearing of then I am 100% sure he will carry out this job perfectly.” David said with a smile which Philip returned.

RL was his first assignment and he wasted no time in tracking the man. Willow always knows where his Victims are and that has always helped him. He was at the rooftop of RL, watching him.
RL was in a huge swimming pool with eight ladies, who wore only bras and panties. They were drinking some champagne.
‘Fools, if only they know they would die soon.’
He thought.
He saw when RL ordered one of the guards to go and get something for him. The guard soon returned with a cheque, a notebook and a biro which he gave to RL and returned to his position.
RL bodyguards, about fifteen (15) in numbers, stood around alert.
He did an acrobat flip and landed besides one of the bodyguards. Without wasting time, he used his razor sharp sword and removed the head of the bodyguard from his body. It landed in,side the pool and then the s¢ræms- coming from the ladies- and the bodyguards running to attack Willow. Some of them were holding guns and even when they shot, their bullets couldn’t penetrate Willow’s body.
In the space of three minutes, Willow had killed all the bodyguards except for the ladies and RL.
“Whatever amount you were given to kill me Lucifer, I will double it for you.” RL said, trying his luck, he knows Lucifer well. Once he sets on something, there is no going back, how did he know? Willow had done three killings for him.
Willow snorted loudly and took the notebook and biro from RL and wrote something on it which he gave to RL.
“Read it aloud to the ladies.” Willow ordered. It’s a pity they will also be joining RL.
“Do not follow someone like me in your next life because I am penniless, hopeless, homeless and jobless.”
