Chapter 4 Double Trouble

• Talia POV
• Blinking away the memories, I saw Olivia and Lizzy looking over at me with a worried expression showing clearly on their faces.
• "Are you ok?" Olivia asked me with a worry clear in her voice.
• I looked at her and gave her a smile, trying to reassure her and Lizzy about my state, answering, “Yes, I am fine, just had a slight unexpected journey to the memory world.”
• Both of them said in unison, “Oh!” making me chuckle how sweet they were.
• I reached out and took my glass of lemonade, taking a sip of a refreshing drink when Lizzy asked, “So what did you remember that was able to drag you down in the memory?”
• Looking over the table at her, I smiled and said, “It is not up to me to reveal all the secrets as some are meant to stay still a mystery, but I can say it was a pleasant memory.”
• I could see she wasn’t too happy with my answer, but still,
• she didn’t push for me to say anything more as we shared some homemade cookies
• and talked about the events that happened in this week while I was away.
• “Do you think Annie will get through and be ok?” Olivia
• asked me sometime later as I confirmed, answering, “I believe so, just she
• needs a little more time.”
• We stayed outside some more, chatting and having fun, when
• we saw Tanner walking out from the backside of the house, walking straight
• towards some young warriors.
• “Seems they are done so maybe it would be good if we go and
• check on Annie now?” Olivia said, standing up from her chair as the two of us
• followed.
• Slowly we walked through the garden, talking when suddenly,
• Olivia grabbed my arm, making me stop walking and look at her.
• I saw her eyes losing focus as she was about to lose
• consciousness, making me react fast and grab her in the last moment before she
• fell down onto the ground.
• I tried calling her name, “Olivia? Olivia! Open your eyes.”
• No response came out from her and just as I was about to try
• using my powers to see what is wrong, Lizzy said in a weak voice, “Talia… I-I
• don’t feel so good.”
• Hearing Lizzy’s voice from behind me, I turned my head just
• in time to see her body falling down.
• I extended my hand fast, while still holding Olivia in my
• lap. The light shone out from my palm as I spoke the words, “Prohibere!”
• (Stop!)
• Light shined from under Lizzy’s body as I tried to see how
• to get them both inside the mansion.
• While I was trying to see how to bring Olivia and Lizzy
• inside, I heard a pair of footsteps approaching, making me look towards the
• sound just to see a large figure as his eyes landed down on me, looking back
• and forth from me over to Olivia in my lap and Lizzy that was being held up
• above the ground with the help of my magic.
• “Little help here, please!” I called out to him, making him
• run directly towards us, wrapping his arms around Lizzy, and picking her up.
• He walked with Lizzy in his arms towards Olivia and me and
• said, “Here, give her to me.”
• His free arm picked Olivia up as I stood up soon as she was
• in his hold.
• “We should bring them fast inside, just be careful how you
• carry them,” I told him as he wasted no time and carried the two inside.
• I walked right behind him, looking at each girl that was on
• his shoulders as he carried them in.
• A gasp sounded as an older female said, “Dios Mio!”
• “Rosa, show Damon where Lizzy’s room is. It would be best if
• we put them in their rooms.” I said fast as the older female rushed ahead,
• leading the way for Damon to follow.
• Soon as we reached inside Lizzy’s room, he gently placed her
• in bed, while Rosa returned from the joined bathroom with a wet towel, placing
• it over Lizzy’s forehead.
• “Rosa, could you please stay here with Lizzy until I return
• and check on her?” I asked the older female as I reached the door with Damon,
• who was now carrying Olivia bridal style.
• “Si, of course,” Rosa answered while gently tapping the wet
• towel over Lizzy’s head.
• Damon and I rushed upstairs, reaching Olivia’s and Marcus’
• floor.
• I opened the door as Damon walked inside the room as I
• rushed towards the bed, removing the covers so he could place her down.
• Not waiting for him to reach the bed, I ran straight inside
• the bathroom, searching around for a clean towel.
• Finding all I needed, and drenching the towel in water, I
• rushed outside the bathroom and saw Damon sitting next to Olivia, watching her
• with worry in his eyes.
• I walked directly to Olivia and placed the towel over her
• forehead as Damon asked me, “What the hell happened?”
• I looked up at him and saw him looking already at me, so I
• answered, “I don’t know. Everything was fine, and we were about to walk back
• inside to go and check out on Annie when Olivia grabbed my arm and lost
• consciousness, then a minute later the same happened with Lizzy.”
• His eyebrows narrowed over his eyes as he listened to my
• explanation. He asked, “How can they just out of the blue lose consciousness?”
• “I don’t know.” I honestly said.
• “Can you do something about it?” he asked me.
• I thought about what to do and decided I will try, I said,
• “I will try.”
• ***
• Alodar POV
• I watched through the glass down at my creations as a smile
• crept on my face, knowing soon enough the time will come.
• A door abruptly opened, slamming a second later, making my
• blood boil as I rolled my eyes the moment I heard his voice.
• “How much longer?!”
• I heard Tyson ask in pure anger, but I kept my eyes down,
• observing carefully that my plan goes spotless.
• Slamming his fist down onto the table, he said the same words
• louder this time, “How much longer?!!”
• Slowly, I turned around, not showing off any emotion as I
• slowly approached him.
• He didn’t move away even when I stood just an inch away from
• him, looking at me, provoking me, or maybe even testing me out.
• Not liking any of the possibilities, I grabbed the collar of
• his shirt, looking deep into his eyes. I spoke in a low, gravel tone, “Do not
• test me, boy! If I want, I could just kill you here in a blink of an eye, so
• remember that.”
• I released his collar and walked to the liquor cabinet,
• pouring myself something to drink as he said, “I’m sorry. I’m just tired of
• waiting, Alodar.”
• Pouring two glasses, I turned around and walked towards him,
• offering him a drink.
• Taking the drink, he gulped it down in one go as I slowly
• drank mine.
• I said, “You won’t need to wait for too long, but soon
• enough in just a little more time, our plan will initiate and you will have
• what your heart desires the most.”
• He smiled widely, clinking our glasses as I gulped down the
• rest of my drink.
