The hammingtons episode 28 – 29

🍂The Hammingtons 🍂
A Cursed Family

🍃 Chapter 28🍃
Dianna’s POV
“Dianna!” Eric called as he caught up with me

“What?!” I said curtly

“Let’s find Gia together” he said

“I don’t need your help or anyone else’s, I can find Gia alone!” I said as I made to leave but he held me back

“I am not helping you Dianna, maybe you’ve forgotten but allow me to jiggle up your memory a bit, Gia is my sister too, my twin sister and you certainly don’t expect me to stay my hands and do nothing while she’s missing” Eric said and I sighed

“Fine but….” I winced as I felt a sudden burning sensation on my arm

Eric groaned too

“What the bloody hell is this?” I yelped

“You want your sister and the cute little boy? Meet me at the plains of sorrow before nightfall” Eric read the writing on our arms and looked at me “Definitely a message from the Guardian”

“Plain of sorrows?” I chuckled “It’s been a while since we fought side by side Eric, what do you say we make this worthwhile and save our sister?”

“Definitely sister” Eric said and with a smile

And we left for the Plain of sorrows

Ivan’s POV

I opened my eyes and I was in a small cottage

“What is this place?” I wondered

Then it all came to me at once

The Guardian, Gia’s abduction, entering into Sophie’s memories

Yeah, that’s where I am right now, Sophie’s memories

I have to find the particular memory that depicts closeness between her and her brother

“Mom” A girl that looked like the younger version of Sophie walked passed me

“Mom are you okay?” she asked her pregnant Mom who was panting heavily

“No, I…. I don’t feel so well” Her Mom stuttered

“Is it the baby?” she asked and the Mom nodded

“Maybe he’s just uncomfortable, your tummy is really small so it might get stuffy for him in there, I’ll sing him a lullaby to calm him down” Sophie said as she placed her hand on her Mom’s tummy and sang slowly

“Lullaby and good night,

With roses bedight.

Creep into thy bed,

There pillow thy head.

If God will thou shalt wake,

When the morning doth break.

If God will thou shalt wake,

When the morning doth break.

Lullaby and good night,

Those blue eyes close tight.

Bright angels are near,

So sleep without fear” She sang slowly in a soft calm voice, and as she rubbed her Mom’s tummy, a soothing blue light emanated from her hand and her Mom slowly fell asleep

“She’s doing magic” I muttered “She’s doing magic without even knowing”

The sorrounding started changing rapidly and soon I found myself in a sunny plain

I guess that wasn’t the memory am looking for

“Ethan!! Ethan!!” Sophie came into view running around and looking for her brother

She finally found Ethan who was curled under a tree with a swollen face

“Ethan? What’s wrong? Why didn’t you come home straight from school? Why are you here all alone and what happened to your face?” Sophie’s asked, her face out ridden with worry

“Am…. am fine” Ethan sniffed

“Come on Ethan, what did we say about lying?” Sophie asked

“You never lie to family” Ethan said slowly

“Good so tell me what’s wrong?”

“Some boys beat me up at school” he cried

“What?!!”

“They said am like a tree without root, because…. because I have no parent” Ethan cried

“What?! How dare they?!!” Sophie said obviously angry

“Am I truly without roots Sophie?” Ethan asked and Sophie held his hand

Read – The hammingtons episode 26 – 27

“Dad abandoned us when Mom was pregnant with you and after giving you birth, an unfortunate incident happened and Mom passed away, just because we are left with no parents now doesn’t make us any less better than those out there with parents, infact it makes us stronger than them because we are survivors and whoever said you are without roots couldn’t be more wrong, you are Ethan Griffith and I, Sophie Griffith, your one and only sister is your root and I promise to anchor you to the ground so strongly no wind or storm will ever be able to bring you down” Sophie said and Ethan hugged her tightly

The surrounding started changing again and I sighed

I guess it’s not this memory too

Dianna’s POV

Eric and I walked into the Plain of sorrows stealthily

“She’s not here” Eric said

“Wrong” Aria said as she suddenly appeared in front of us

“Took you long enough to get here, where’s the third of you lot, Ivan Hammington?” she asked

“Where is my sister?” I asked

“Ahhh, she’s somewhere, she would have been dead by now though but courtesy of my ancestors that made you lot immortal, I am unable to kill her yet, so she’s safe, for now” Aria smiled

“Maybe you’ve forgotten Aria Dixon but unlike us, you lack the power of immortality and as a mortal, your life is very fleeting, now unless you want to end whatever is left of your miserable life, you’ll hand over my sister right now!!” Eric said and Aria laughed

“Yeah, this is exactly why you Hammingtons lasted for so long, the ferociousness with which you all defend one another is amazing, really amazing but you lot have forgotten that with family comes liability, family are your weak points, they make you weak, they make you an easy target” Aria said

“Is that you killed all your siblings? Did you really think killing your siblings made you stronger and untouchable huh? Is that what you tell yourself each time your conscience tries to hit you? It was a necessary sacrifice, I had to kill them to become invisible” I chuckled “That’s a false reality you’ve created for yourself Aria Dixon because in all my journey as an immortal on Earth, I have never seen one as lonely and pitiful as you are” I said and Aria quickly grabbed my throat

“Leave her be!!” Eric yelled but Aria put up his hand and he couldn’t move

“I decided to take you on one by one, you go somewhere inside your head and wait for me to call you out” Aria chanted a spell and Eric fell flat to the ground

“What did you do?!!” I yelled as I could feel the anger rising withing me

“Easy! You almost burnt my hand!!” Aria yelped as she quickly let go of my burning neck

“Why do you Hammington always gets so angry easily” Aria sighed “Fine let’s do this, come at me!” she said and I ran towards her with all ferociousness….

🍂The Hammingtons🍂
A Cursed Family

🍃Chapter 29🍃
Eric’s POV
****Year 1521*****
“Eric!” Someone called and I slowly opened my eyes

“Dianna” I called as my sight came to focus “What are you doing here? Where’s The Guardian? And Gia, we have to save her!”

“Ummm, I don’t know what you are talking about but Gia is not in right now, she won’t be attending the family dinner tonight” Dianna said

“We are having a family dinner?” I asked

“Yes Eric, we planned it together before, are you okay? Did you hit your head or you are just being forgetful?” Dianna asked and it was then I noticed dressing and the sorrounding
I remember this, this was when we took refuge in France, around the 1500
I am in the past, Aria brought me back to the past

“Are you okay Eric? You look lost” Dianna said

“Oh am….am fine”

“Then get ready and come join us, dinner’s starting soon” Dianna said as she made to walk out

“Umm….why is Gia missing family dinner?” I asked

“She went to Micheal’s, you know how obsessed she is with Michael these days” Dianna said and walked out

“Michael” I huffed
Why did Aria bring me back to a past that I’ve tried to bury for so long
Michael, Gia’s supposed lover
Who could’ve imagined that even after centuries to come, Gia won’t still forgive me for killing you

Dianna’s POV
“You are unexpectedly tough for witch” I said as I threw Aria and she fell but stood right back on her feet

“And you are unexpectedly strong for a pregnant woman” Aria said “What would you do if I…. let’s say cast a spell on your unborn baby right now and kill her right in your tummy?”

“You wouldn’t dare!”

“Really?” Aria laughed “If I am able to kill your baby right now, believe me Dianna I will, but unfortunately, I can’t, even yet unborn, your baby is an immortal just like you and the rest of your abominable family so I haven’t found a way to kill her just yet”

“You wouldn’t dare touch my baby!!!” I yelled as I could feel the flames already rising through my body

“Are you already getting angry?” Aria laughed “Well hear this Dianna, if you really love your child, you should actually be on your knees and pleading with me to kill that baby in your tummy because if you give birth to that child, she will grow up to be more savage, beastly and monstrous than any of you Hammingtons, I have seen your baby’s future, she will grow up to be the most deadliest witch ever known, her powers surpass yours and your siblings and it will be out of her own control and people will fear her, she will be more alone than any of you have ever been, she live her whole life feared and unloved, the Hammington curse will be much more pronounced through her, so dear Dianna, if anything, am doing you and the whole world a huge favor by looking for a way to get rid of your cursed child”

“Aaahhhh!!!” I yelled in anger as all the plain around me caught fire
“You are bluffing, my child is not cursed and will never be!” I yelled as I grabbed her throat with my flaming hand “You will be the one to die Aria Dixon!”

“Why….why do you get….. angry so…..so easily?” she stuttered as she began chanting some spell and my hand started freezing, so I had to let her go and she fell to the ground

“I’ll kill you!!!” I yelled angrily as I ran towards her but she casted a spell and I went flying back to the ground
She threw her dagger at me and it gave me a cut in my cheek and my blood dropped to the ground

“Come on Dianna, am prepared for you this time” Aria said motioning for me to get closer

“You should know Aria, whatever that is done to me, I always return the favor tenfold” I said as I breathed fire towards her and she quickly casted and invisibility spell

“Oops, missed me,” Aria voice echoed round me and I looked around yet I couldn’t see her

“Looking for me?” I heard Aria’s voice “Well find me if you can Dianna Hammington” she said as I heard the rustling of leaves

I looked at the ground and I could see where she stood, I couldn’t see her but I could see her footprints

“You are so dead!” I said as I went over to where she was and gave her a hard kick on her face, she fell to the ground and became visible

“Fine, let’s do this the hard way, come at me!” Aria said as she stood up and I ran towards her….

Ivan’s POV
I’ve been jumping from one memories to another in Sophie’s head and still, I am yet to find out the memory in which there was a special connection between Sophie and her little brother

“Where the bloody hell are you, you darn memory!” I muttered angrily as I jumped into another memory

This time I was in the woods and Sophie was unconscious, she was brutally wounded by God knows who or what
Ethan was by her side, crying and yelling for help

“What is wrong dear child?” A man that came across them asked

“It’s my fault, I….. I wanted to go hunting like my friends so I told Sophie and she said she’ll come with me, we came hunting together and we…. we bumped into a wolf, Sophie put herself in the way to protect me and she….she got bitten by the wolf” Ethan cried “She’s not breathing Sir please help me”

The men bent down to see Sophie’s bitten arm and leg
The man placed his hand over the areas Sophie was bitten and she healed immediately, like she was never bitten at all

“You should stop crying little one, your sister will wake up soon” the man said as he stood back up

“Really? Thank you sir, thank you so much Sir” Ethan thank

“You shouldn’t call me sir little one” the man said

Read – His crazy baddie episode 1 – 2

“Then what should I call you…. sir?” Ethan asked clueless

“The innate one, that’s what people called me” the man smiled and left, soon after Sophie woke up

“It’s not this memory too” I sighed as I moved into another of Sophie’s memories

It was dark at first and I couldn’t make out a thing from the darkness
The door suddenly opened and Ethan walked in and turned on the light
His nose was bleeding and he looked haggard

“Sophie, I ….I know you are in here, please come out, I promise am not afraid of you, am your brother and we’ll go through this together, as you always say, family should always stick together” Ethan said as he looked around

There was some rustling sound and Sophie suddenly jumped out of the wardrobe, her eyes all darkened, she looked vicious and very different from her normal self

She jumped down the wardrobe and grabbed Ethan’s throat, lifting him up slowly

“Sis….sister” Ethan stuttered as his leg could no longer touch the ground

“I told you to run!!” Sophie yelled, her voice was very deep and powerful, like that of a beast

“You are my sister, I…. I can’t run….. away from ……from you” Ethan stuttered and Sophie tightened her grip round her throat

“Then you will die today” Sophie gave a sinister laughter

“I…. I am not afraid of you” Ethan managed to say looking right into Sophie’s darkened eyes
“You are my sister and I am not afraid of you” Ethan repeated “I have no idea what’s going on with you but you should know am always here with you Sophie, your little brother is here so you are never alone”

Sophie’s eye’s slowly brightened up and she quickly dropped Ethan to the floor

“Sophie!” Ethan wanted to go hug her sister that seemed to be back to her senses now but Sophie quickly stopped him

“No! Don’t come closer, I…. I might hurt you Ethan” Sophie cried

“You won’t hurt me Sophie” Ethan said

“I already did” Sophie said and Ethan quickly cleaned off his bleeding nose

“It’s not your fault” Ethan said

“I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I….. I keep loosing control and doing bad stuffs like hurting you, sometimes I cannot control myself Ethan you know that, and that’s why I made those enchanted objects for you” Sophie said as she stood up and quickly went to a table filled with chains and daggers

“You could’ve chained me with this Ethan” she said holding the chains “This would give a headache so bad I would collapse and I won’t be able to hurt you, or you could’ve used this dagger” she said as she took one of the daggers “You should have cut me with this, I told you a single cut from this dagger provide hundreds more cut in the body, this would’ve incapacitated me, you should’ve used this on me and stopped me from hurting you!!” Sophie yelled

“I couldn’t bring myself to hurt you too!!!” Ethan yelled at his sister too “Those objects hurts you too don’t they? You are my only family Sophie and no matter how bad you change, I couldn’t bring myself to hurt you even if it’s to save myself”

“Oh Ethan” Sophie sobbed and Ethan move closer to her and hugged her “I don’t want to hurt you anymore, I can’t bare to hurt you anymore” Sophie cried

“It’s fine Sophie, you’ll be fine and I will be right here till you find a cure to whatever is wrong with you” Ethan said and Sophie hugged him tightly

There was sudden blue light emanating from the surrounding and I knew this was it, the memory that holds a great connection between Sophie and her brother

“Your work is done Ivan Hammington, you may come out now” I heard Eva’s voice and I looked around
Everything started fading out and next thing I knew, I was back in the Hammington Mansion with Eva staring at me

“Did it work?” I asked and she nodded with a smile

“I was able to use the connection to narrow out Ethan and Gia’s location” Eva said

I looked at my side, at Sophie who was just waking up and my mind went back to her memories
She is a witch, a very powerful one at that if she was able to create those enchanted objects herself. She hid her powers from me and made me believe her to be an amateur witch, and she has a dark side, a dangerous dark side she cannot control. All these points her to be anything but ordinary, who exactly are you Sophie Griffith?…..
