The hammingtons episode 9 – 10
🍂The Hammingtons🍂
A Cursed Family
🍃Chapter 9🍃
Gia’s POV
I sat in the interrogation room with the white light almost blinding my eyes
My feet continued tapping involuntarily
I hate this
I hate being alone around humans, it usually doesn’t bid well for them
One of the cops walked in and sat in front of me
“Hello Gia Hammington” he said as he sat down
“You already know what you are being accused of so I’ll cut the chase and go straight to the point, were you at the theater house on the day of explosion?” he asked and i just stared at him, tapping my leg on the ground
“Did you cause the explosion of the theater house?” he asked again and I just continued staring
“I know you have the right to be silent but I’ll advise you to speak up if you want to ever leave this place” he said “And will you stop tapping your leg?!”
“Come and make me” I said
“I see you are a stubborn one” he said and moved his face closer to mine “But you should be well aware, I run things in this place, if you want to ever get out of here, you better start cooperating with me”
I breathed out silently and a freezing cold breeze came from my mouth to the cop’s face
“What the…..Why the hell is it suddenly so cold, did anyone turn up AC?” he asked walking out
“I won’t be here by tomorrow evening” I said and he turned back
“What did you say?” he asked
“Either you release me freely or I walk out of this place after destroying you all, either way, you won’t be seeing me here by eve tomorrow” I smiled
Dianna’s POV
I paced around the room
“Are we seriously going to obey Eva and not go save our sister?!!” Eric said
“She said she’ll get her out” I said
“So we’ll just believe her words?! You’ll trust her with Gia’s life? What happened to family comes first in everything or don’t tell me you are suddenly scared of this head of witches and that’s why you refuse to go save our sister!!” Eric yelled
“Enough of your ranting Eric, Gia is not a kid and she’s most capable of taking care of herself so do not use this as an avenue to disrespect Dianna, she’s the eldest of the Hammingtons and you must accord her that respect!!” Ivan yelled in his cold voice
Eric was silent for a minute then he shook his head
“I knew you’ll always support her” he said and walked out
“Ivan…”
“I wasn’t supporting you Dianna, if Eva doesn’t do anything about Gia’s release by tomorrow morning, I will get her out of that place myself, even if it means unleashing my whole powers and burning the city to the ground, destruction is my specialty after all” Ivan said and climbed up the stairs
I slumped on the couch as I felt dizzy
“What is going on?”…….
Eric’s POV
I took a cab to Eva’s Mansions and two witches tried to stop me from barging in
“Am not in a good mood ladies” I said as strokes of lightening emanated from my body and the witches went flying far away
I walked in and more witches ran to attack me
“Where’s Eva?!!” I yelled as I threw them all away with my lightening
“Eva!!!” I yelled as the thunder rumbled outside

“Eric” she called as she slowly climbed down the stairs
“You!” I charged towards her and she quickly conjured a boundary spell preventing me from getting close to her
“A mere boundary spell Eva, do you really think that’s going to save you from my wrath?”
“It will give me the time I need to quench your wrath” she said
“Well go on then, try quenching my wrath” I said
“I just got off the phone with the head of the humans, I explained things to him and though it was not an easy task, I wad able to convince him to get Gia released, your sister will be back home by tomorrow morning Eric Hammington” Eva said
“And if she’s not back by tomorrow morning?”
“Am sure you guys are already planning on rescuing your sister even if it means killing everyone that stands on your way and even Gia herself isn’t exactly the calm Hammington, each moment that she spents in that station, the cops continue to be in mortal danger so it’s actually in my best interest to get Gia out of that station as soon as possible” Eva said
“Tomorrow morning then Eva, Gia should be back by tomorrow else along with killing all the cops, I’ll come for your throat too” I said
“It’s already getting dark Eric, goodnight” she smiled
“Tomorrow morning” I repeated and walked out……
Gia’s POV
It’s morning and I didn’t sleep a wink, I spent most part of the night trying to keep my sanity and not loose control but I have no idea how long that will last as my resistance is breaking down really quickly and I could feel my control slipping
The door suddenly opened and the cop from yesterday walked in
“Seems knowing people of high calibre have worked again” he said as he uncuffed me
“You are free to go Gia Hammington, I got orders from the higher ups to let you go” he said and I smiled as I stood up
“I told you didn’t I, today’s eve will not meet me here” I said and he moved closer to me
“Am only letting you go because I was ordered to, it doesn’t mean am convinced of your innocence, am going to keeps tabs on you Gia Hammington so be careful” he said
“If I see you anywhere around me again, I will freeze you to death” I said and walked out
I walked out of the station and met Eric with a car
“I came to pick you up, get in” he said and I got in and he drove us back home silently
“Am sorry we took so long to get you out” he said breaking the silence
“I was going to escape on my own even without you guy’s help so am good” I said
We got home and we walked in to see Dianna asleep on the couch
“And to think I almost went to jail cause of her and here she is, sleeping peacefully” I said
“She’s not asleep” Eva said as she barged into the house
“What’s going on?” Ivan asked as he walked down the stairs then he saw me
“You are back” he said and I smiled
“You didn’t think I was going to stay away for too long did you brother?” I said
Eva went to Dianna and touched her forehead
“Is she pregnant?” she asked
“What is going on Eva?” Ivan asked
“I had a vision this morning” she said
“What vision?” Eric asked
“A vision of Dianna’s death, her and her unborn child” Eva said
“Come on, sister is just asleep, she isn’t dying” I said
“Try waking her up then Gia, your sister isn’t in an ordinary sleep, she’s in what we call the death slumber and this doesn’t happen naturally, Dianna was spelled and drawn into the death slumber, if she doesn’t wake up before tomorrow, she will sleep forever” Eva said
“Who is behind this?!” I asked
“Only very few powerful witches are capable of casting the death slumber spell, so I believe this was an act of revenge, I believe it was done by….”
“Aria Dixon, the Guardian of the Hell Gates” Ivan completed
“How do we wake her up and break the spell?” Eric asked
“The death slumber spell can only be broken when the victim wakes up, and the victim wakes up only when the witch that cast the spell decides to let her victim go” Eva explained and Ivan chuckled
“Your sister and her unborn child is dying, the last thing I expected of you is a laughter, where is the legendary Hammington family dedication to each other?” Eva said
“Not worry Eva, Dianna is not dying today, if I kill the witch that cast the spell, will Dianna and her baby be fine?” Ivan asked
“If you are able to do that before tomorrow yes she will wake up, what are you planning to do Ivan Hammington?” Eva asked
“Stay with my sister, I’ll be back before nightfall and I’ll deliver to you, the Guardian’s head on a spike!” Ivan said coldly and walked out……

🍃Chapter 10🍃
Ivan’s POV
I walked the street of Arcane with the plastic bag containing Harriet’s decapitated head
All this madness will end today, I will kill her, I will kill the Guardian just like I killed her mother
I suddenly bumped into a lady walking by my side
“Hey! It’s you! The crazy guy that wanted to drink the whole bar shop, Ivan right? Remember me? Of course you do, it’s not everytime a pretty bartender attends to you late at night” the lady smiled
“Get out of my way” I said
“Don’t tell me you really don’t remember me, am Sophie Griffith, I introduced myself that night remember?”
“I said out of my way before I make you!” I yelled and she flinched while the people passing around looked and murmured
“So… sorry” she stuttered and I walked past her
Dianna and her baby’s life is in danger, I must save her
Eric’s POV
“Why is Dianna sweating so much Eva?” Gia asked looking worried
“The death slumber works by drawing it’s victim into a world of her worst nightmare, Dianna is probably going through her worst fears right now and when she finally gives in and die in her dream, she will die in the real world too, along with her baby” Eva explained
“Dianna is strong, she won’t give up that easily” I said
“Not when you are facing your worst fears Eric Hammington, worst fears is called worst because that’s your weakest point, your Achilles heel, if Ivan doesn’t succeed in whatever he’s planning on doing, Dianna will die by nightfall, and her baby will die along with her” Eva said
“Then I shouldn’t be standing here should I? I should be out there like Ivan, looking for a way to save my sister and my nephew or niece, whichever it turns out to be” I said and Eva placed her palm on Dianna’s stomach
“Niece, it’s going to be a girl” Eva said and Gia stood up
“She will have to be birthed, she will not die in my sister’s tummy along with my sister, I will not allow that” she said
“So what will you do? What exactly will you do to save your sister and your niece?” Eva asked
“We’ll find the Guardian, she was the one that casted this spell on her so we’ll find her and end her” Eric said
“Do you think Aria is that easy to find?”
“Then what will you have us do?!!!” I yelled
“Ivan is already out hunting for the Guardian and I’ve heard he’s a pretty good hunter that always catches his prey, now you can go on this same quest like your brother, or you can help me extend your sister’s time thereby given more time for Ivan to get Aria” Eva said
“How do we do that? How do we extend Dianna’s time?” Gia asked
“I told you a victim dies in the real world if she dies in her nightmare right? The only way we can extend her time is by preventing her from dying in her nightmare as long as we can”
“And how do we do that?” I asked
“Though the spell will weaken me but I can try and get one of you into the nightmare she’s living right now, you’ll need to protect her and let her know that it is not the end” Eva said
“I’ll go, take me into her nightmare” Gia said and I held her back
“I thought you hated us and wanted us out of your city quickly, why are you helping us now?” I asked Eva
“I told you I had a vision of Dianna and her baby’s death, as much as I want you all to disappear from my city because of the dangers you bring to it, I am the head of the witches and I have a responsibility to protect all witches, the little one growing in Dianna’s tummy, she’s a witch, a pure one, am here to protect her and only her” Eva said
“What do we need to do?” I asked
“To put Gia into Dianna’s nightmare, I’ll need a few things so you need to get them for me Eric. I’ll need ashwood, mushroot and powdered limestone, you should be able to find all this in the shop down the street”
“I’ll be back” I said as I went of to get the needed ingredients
Ivan’s POV
I walked into Aria’s house at the far end of the bayou, her mother’s body was no longer on the floor, meaning she did come here
Read – The story of my life episode 1 – 2
I looked around the house but it was obviously empty
“Where the hell are you Aria Dixon?!” I said out loud
I suddenly heard some footsteps outside the cottage and I walked outside
“Show yourself, whoever you are” I said
There was a sudden swoosh sound and by the time I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by witches
“I guess you are all Aria’s underlings” I said and one made to attack me but I caught her by the throat
“Bad move” I shook my head
The others made to attack me but I caught them all, breaking their arms and legs
I grabbed the last witch by the throat and she gagged
“She…..she wants you to……to meet her…. at the city hall…… before midnight” she stuttered
“Thanks for delivering the message” I said as I ripped out her throat and her blood splashed all over me
Gia’s POV
“She’s panting, why is she panting so much?!” I asked Eva
“She’s probably going through something bad in her nightmare, we have to get you in there fast so you can calm her down” Eva said
The door opened and Eric rushed in with the ingredients
“Here” he said and Eva quickly collected it from him
She drew two large circle with the limestone powder
“Place Dianna on one circle and Gia lay on the other circle” Eva said
“Am going take you to Dianna’s nightmare, now there are few things you need to know, one you must not tell her what she’s passing through on that world isn’t real, if you spoil the legibility of that world then along with Dianna, you all will die in there, in her nightmare world, you will appear to Dianna as a stranger and you must not tell her you are her sister, those are the rules for this spell to work, you are only going in there to offer moral support so she can endure longer and hopefully Ivan will get to Aria by then, anything that happens to your body in the nightmare world happens to you here too, if you get injured there it will reflect on your body here and if you die in there Gia, you will be lost forever” Eva explained
“So much for being immortal” I chuckled
“Are you sure about this Gia?” Eric asked
“Am not a kid Eric, I’ll be fine” I said as I laid inside the circle and Eva carried a dagger
“What the hell are you doing?!!” Eric exclaimed as she quickly grabbed Eva’s hand
“To go inside Dianna’s nightmare I’ll have to link you up from the outside so it’s either you want me to explain to you in details and waste the time we do not have or you let me do my job and try to save your little niece because honestly, I do not care if Dianna lives or die” Eva said and Eric let her go
Eva made a cut on Dianna’s palm and she move closer to me
“This will hurt” she said and I smiled
“I’ve endured much worse” I said and she nodded
She made the same cut on Dianna’s palm and on mine, then she began chanting some spell
At first I felt a burning sensation on the cut on palm, then the sensation grew and soon i could feel the burning sensation all over my body and the cut on my hand lightened up
“Is this supposed to be happening?!” I heard Eric’s voice but it seemed so far away and before I knew what was happening, I found myself in a large barren land
“Where the bloody hell am I?!”……
