She can't just get away with it so fuck your feelings for her", said Borra looking at his brother angrily. "Don't you think I saw that, but I told you, we will have to wait for ILiara and Cedric to get here first, don't you think they deserve to know, both of them, especially ILiara. She was his daughter and you know it. People may not know that, even her but it's true. Father was angry that we found out. Went through his files, spoke to his trusted servant and found out the truth that she would rule and be the queen of witches if he died, you saw that, but I don't blame him, they had a strong connection. It's just that neither of them knew. They were father and daughter, so yes, we will kill Lucida but with the help of our sister, you know she carries the wolf's power and she can defeat them. No one will be able to defeat her. She's the light, the source, the protector, killer of humankind. We just have to teach her and find that place where it's souls are hidden and we can't just kill her like that. She has to feel the pain. She said she has daughter so why not kill her first so she can feel the pain plus the child will grow up to be threat to our kingdom so we just continue pretending to her up until ILiara and Cedric get here and I heard your sister has twins which will play a huge role to defeating Matilda", he said moving to his brother smiling. "Okay, I get that but what about them? What do we do with them because they are coming to attack us. I mean they do know we are here?", asked Borra looking his brother in the eye. "Don't worry about those fools, Scott and her army, see this magic, the forever life magic that fool created of which she can no longer stop it. She's forgotten it's a leap year where every witch will be awakened. We will kill every human and take over every planet there is in the world. Destroying everything in the whole world and obviously this magic was there in the book of life that during the leap year it multiplies and becomes the forever life magic. Granting those who are dead the chance to be awakened from death no matter how many times they die. They will be awakened but only to us who are supernatural so the other witches will keep them busy. They will kill them but be alive again whereas we wait for ILiara and Cedric", he said, going back to what he was doing. Making his wand. Mrs Dedekind heard everything they spoke about. She slowly sat down and tried to digest what she just heard. She was hiding from a tree near the garden in front of the house where Lucida had gone. She sat there not moving and held her breath trying to imagine the whole thing. She just couldn't believe it. ILiara and the twin brothers (Astraea and Borra) were related. They were siblings and that ILiara carried the wolf's power and was Dragon's Slair daughter but what gave her relief was that she knew nothing about any of that. She couldn't believe the fact that Lucida betrayed them. They were friends, what happened and that she was the one who killed their father. She didn't even know they wanted to kill her. She had to help but perhaps this was a trap, she thought, so she turned and peeped and saw that Lucida was really not there. She then remembered Mark saying Suzette was their daughter. She felt sorry for her. She was a good child and raised well too. She then realized that Lucida wasn't so bad after all. She then looked around and saw the witches waking up from death. She knew she had to tell the others of this evil plan and this leap year. But how they would see her. She then sat there. Mrs Mackenzie entered every room, searching for the guns, but luckily she found them. "fighting the witches is useless, they won't die. I think we should trap them somewhere in the house, perhaps lock them in that room or else we won't be able to get out of this house. This shall slow them down so where are the keys for that room (pointing to it)?", asked Mr Mackenzie, so exhausted. "Yeah, that might help. I think they are hanging behind the door handle (he walks to it and takes them out) here they are '', he replied looking so tired and exhausted too. Looking at some of the witches waking up again. "So the plan is as if they are still waking or rising from death. I go into that room, get in and you'd lead them there. Once they are all in. We turn off the light and fight them. Once they are all down. We lock them all '', explained Mr Mackenzie moving to the room. Mr Dedekind stayed behind as planned. The witches all woke up and fought him. He fought them while moving into the room. He enters. They follow him fighting. Actually Mr Mackenzie found gas in that room, lit it and stood behind the door, holding the keys, closing his mouth with his jacket. Mr Dedekind entered first, noticed the gas, closed his mouth and saw Mr Mackenzie hiding behind the door. Mr Mackenzie called him and they both behind the door and switched off the lights. The witches all entered and as soon they were all in. Mr Mackenzie slammed the door shut. They beat them all and it was easy to defeat them because of the gas with the lights off. As soon as they were all down they quickly got out and locked the door. They took some extra guns from the basement and went out. They noticed the silence but continued to walk. They got to the pool and they picked in. One witch saw them and swimmed with the tides and strangled Mr Mackenzie as he wasn't looking. He tried to pull it off but it just wouldn't let go and it was wet which made it too slippery when he tried to let it go. Mr Dedekind saw that and started shooting at it. More witches swimmed towards them and they both shot them dead. They immediately left before they woke up and left them sinking in the water. Everyone heard the gunshots. Mrs Dedekind became aware that both his husband and Mr Mackenzie were heading this way. She prepared herself as they came. Mrs Mackenzie heard the gunshot and quickly searched for the guns. Luckily she found them in a safe and it was open. She took them and made her way out. "It's them, they're coming, let's be prepared, are you done making that wand?", asked Borra, prepared to fight them. "Yeah, I'm done and where's that fool?", he asked, walking to stand next to his brother. They both stood waiting for them to come. Borra was playing with his fire and Astraea was holding his wand stick. Both Mr Dedekind and Mr Mackenzie came running to the backyard but used a different path. They came from behind the tree house. "I think that's where they are in the garden," said Mr Mackenzie, seeing where the magic had come from standing next to the tree house. They both ran and just as they came closer. Mr Mackenzie saw Astraea and Borra standing from the garden. He looked around, he didn't see his wife, he stopped "Where's my wife?", he asked, breathing so fast. "And where's mine, I don't see her". They both had hidden from a nearby tree. They looked at each other, this time they didn't run, but they walked. "Here they come '', said Borra, exercising his neck. The more they got closer they noticed who Mr Mackenzie was. "Scott, I should have known it was him", said Astraea walking to him to fight him. Borra holds his hands and stops him. "Don't rush, let them come to us first, then you can attack'', he said, still playing with his fire. Mr Mackenzie and Mr Dedekind finally got to them. "You again I thought I would never see you again", said Mr Mackenzie unwrapping his chain. "Hello to you too, Scott, what a pleasant surprise, nice yo see you again but you won't last last, today you die, wand give an ax", he said walking to attack him. Astraea lifted up his ax and jumped up whereas Mr Mackenzie let go of his chain and it tangled him in his legs and Astraea fell down. Mr Mackenzie then kept on hitting him in every rock and tree. "Borra we meet again. how clever of you to hit me with the fridge door and later run off. But of course we met again", said Mr Dedekind, his fists clenched. Borra doesn't speak but realizes fire to him. Mr Dedekind gets bun't in his arm but runs to him. He hits him with a fist in the nose. Borra bleeds and realizes more fire to him. Mr Dedekind quickly picks an iron and uses it as his shield. Mrs Mackenzie came out running from the house holding two guns and others were hidden underneath her t-shirt. Mrs Dedekind was standing from the tree getting ready to go and save her husband. She heard something coming behind her and when she turned around and looked. It was Lucida. She went back and hid from the tree. She waited for her to pass the tree and ran after her. Mrs Mackenzie could hear something running behind her but the moment she turned it was too late. Mrs Dedekind had already knocked her down. She woke up and found Mrs Mackenzie on top of her. Their eyes met. "I don't like you, in fact I hate you but I will do it for Suzette and as well as Matilda and to save the world, so they know the truth of what you did. They come for your daughter first, they will kill her and then you. So are you in or out. I say we kill them", Mrs Dedekind said, holding both her hands, the guns scattered on the floor. "Okay, I'm in but how did you know about that?", asked Mrs Mackenzie, her heart beating. "I overheard them but why ain't you surprised I want to work with you. You are more kind and relaxed, you've changed. The Lucida I know from the past would have now killed me. She was rude and bitter, cruel and coldhearted, so what changed or are you pretending?", asked Mrs Dedekind curious. "I learned the truth from the past 18 years. What really happened during the wars. I've been made a fool by them. They turned me against my people, told me lies, turned me who I never was, they are the ones who killed my parents, sacrificed them just because they didn't want to be part of their so-called kingdom. So I ghosted myself and went out to find the other sorcerers. I found them, met Scott and they told me everything and confirmed what I knew and didn't. So that changed me and even more when I had my daughter, Suzette and got married to Scott. So when the war ended I saw it as a fresh start for a change and to move on with the right people and positive mind and a good heart", explained Mrs Mackenzie with tears in her eyes. "So that's why you killed the Dragon Slair, their father?", asked Mrs Dedekind, still holding her hands. "No, Dragon Slair wasn't supposed to die that night. He found out the truth, actually, he sent one of his servants to spy on me and heard everything that I told the sorcerers and reconciled with them. Found out that I was the one who told them about the plan they had for them to attack the sorceress and kill them without them knowing during the full moon festival. He then one day came to confront me but he found me with Mark and Scott. He was angry and fought us and that's how he died and I ran away with Scott and Mark. I entrusted one of the sorceress merchants to bury him", explained her. "I think I've been gone for the longest time so what's the plan, did you tell your husband?", asked Mrs Dedekind thinking of going back to them before they suspected anything. "No, I haven't. I couldn't go back to them. I just lost it when I had you in my yard with Astraea and left without them to kill you but not you anymore, but the problem is I don't have any plan. "Okay, I think I have one we will pretend as if I trapped you, as if I found you and we fought, I will come dragging you to them and this will make them think I'm one of them but the actual plan is to fool them and kill them thm", explained Mrs Mackenzie standing up. They started hurting and cutting themselves to make it seem as if they were fighting, turning their clothes, making bruises and scars in their bodies, cutting themselves, and Mrs Mackenzie stabbed herself with one of Mrs Dedekind swords making herself to bleed too much. And Mrs Dedekind shot herself in the leg and she bled too. Thereafter Mrs Mackenzie stood up and started dragging her down whereas she pretended to be dead. Mr Dedekind defended himself with the iron but it got too hot and he threw it at Borra. It hit him in the head and he fell. Mr Dedekind stood up and went to him. He sat on him and gave him punches. Borra woke up and burned him in his face. Mr Dedekind fell down and screamed. Borra got up and raised him up into the sky and then created the fire circle around him. Astraea untangled the chain in his legs and freed himself. He then jumped over Mr Mackenzie and almost got him with the ax but he dodged him and kicked him in the face. He felt the pain but as Mr Mackenzie got up he shoved him down and strangled him so hard. Mr Mackenzie saw a nail lying from the ground and took it. It was not that far and stabbed him in the thigh. Astraea screamed and took his ax and hit him towards his shoulder. Mr Mackenzie got hurt and let go off the nail and held where he got hurt. Astraea stood up and took his ax. He then held Mr Mackenzie from his neck, strangling him and raising him up. He said "You're dead". Mr Mackenzie reached out for a gun in his pocket and shot him three times in the stomach. Astraea slowly fell into the ground. Mr Mackenzie first stretched his neck and held his chain and started hitting Astraea with it. Astraea felt the pain and changed his wand into two swords. He waited for Mr Mackenzie to come closer to him and stabbed him in his legs. Mr Dedekind tried to get out but it burned too much and there was nowhere he could get out and he was feeling heat. He could no longer breathe. He looked around and saw a tiny hole that could fit a bullet and then took off his gun and shot at It two times. They got out through the hole and shot Borra in his arm. He stopped and held his hand feeling the pain. The fire circle vanished. He was freed and he fell down. He fell so hard on the ground that he fell into a deep sleep. Borra on the other hand screamed so loud. The wound was too much. He had shot him in his palm. It was kinda hard to take out the bullets. It was too painful. He couldn't move or twist it. It hurted too much and it would take longer to heal. He then sat down and waited for it to heal. Astraea got up from the ground and tried standing whereas taking a deep breath. He looked at Mr Mackenzie who was still struggling to stand and saw a perfect chance to finish him off. He jumped so high and held his two swords ready to stab him. Mr Mackenzie felt the ground shaking and saw him headed to him. He took his gun and shot at him. He kept on shooting at him up until he fell onto the ground. Astraea fell onto the ground wounded and unable to move. He was deeply hurt. He couldn't even move a muscle. Mr Mackenzie fastly took Astraea swords and stabbed him and his magic went right through him and he died. Borra saw his brother lying dead on the ground and became angry. He then realized a fire dragon over to Mr Mackenzie and it realized fire onto him. It consumed all of his energy and strength that he fell onto the ground weakling. The fire dragon then went back to him. Borra slowly stood and walked to his brother. He kneeled next to him crying , he couldn't believe it. He was gone again, gone forever and was defeated like that. He tried shaking him, pumping his heart, breathing in his mouth but he didn't wake up. He slept on top of him and screamed so hard. He realized he was left alone to fight, their enemies could be awakened at any time. He had to pull himself whereas Lucida was nowhere to be seen; perhaps she had run away. He then touched the ground, a path opened, he closed his eyes and sniffed. A vision appeared in his eyes. He saw some witches trapped in a room and some drowning in the water sniffed. He then stopped sniffing and opened his eyes. He then got up and walked to them. He got to the pool and found the witches really dead. He realized fire in his hands and touched the pool. It busted open and the water flowed to the ground. The witches bodies fell onto the ground and as the magic was busy shooting from the stone. It got into their bodies and woke them. He then went to the house and freed the other ones that were trapped and the same happened to them they got awakened by the magic magic. He sent them to fight Mr Mackenzie with his friends whereas he followed from behind as his hand was healing. Mr Dedekind slowly woke up from the ground and went to his friend. He touched him and felt his pulse. He was still alive. He then took a glass of water and poured it at him. He woke up and started coughing. "How long have I been sleeping here, where's Borra and Astraea?", asked Mr Mackenzie trying to get up. "Astraea dead as for Borra I woke up and he was not here and as for how long you've been sleeping I don't know either but I bet it was long", answered Mr Dedekind uncertain about the other information. Mrs Mackenzie came out from the trees dragging Mrs Dedeking as if she was dead. She threw her down and looked around. She saw her husband and Mr Dedekind . She raised her shoulders at them. They called her. She then dragged Mrs Dedekind with her and walked to them. She noticed Astraea lying dead next to them. "Is he dead?", she asked, touching him to see if he was. "Yeah he is, Scott killed him, I mean your husband", answered Mr Dedekind, moving to see his wife. "And what happened to my wife, did you kill her", he said, ready to attack and kill her. "No, she's pretending, tell her to wake up, for now, but where's Borra?", asked Mrs Mackenzie looking for him. Mr Dedekind does so and wakes her up. She opens her eyes and listens to them. "Neither of us know where he went but he will be back to avenge his brother's death so we need to be prepared", answered Mr Mackenzie pulling his chain towards him. "I think we should attack Borra, he is ... (he stops) they heard the noise of the army of witches coming towards the garden. "Guys, can you hear that we need to act fast and fast? Let's get ready", said Mr Dedekind, reaching for other guns in his belt bet. "So what's the plan , what are we gonna do o, there's too many of them, and these things won't die", cried Mr Mackenzie. "Damn I've forgotten about this, I have to stop it, but the problem is I've gotten the spell and the page got torned and lost", said Mrs Mackenzie forgetful." I think I do have a plan, we will need a bomb for that. We will light it up there, it shall bomb and stop this magic thing", suggested Mr Dedekind looking up at the stone shooting out its magic. "I think I heard something about a leap and the magic multiplying itself to a forever life magic", remembered Mrs Dedekind confirming what she heard. Mr Mackenzie looked at the moon, around then to the sky and finally spoke "it means all the witches are being awakened. Guys what we have here is nothing we need to prepare for a real war, "explained Mr Mackenzie standing up, picking up his other knives, " so where's the bomb?", he asked again. "There in that house, I will go fetch them", said Mrs Dedekind standing up and leaving. She runs fast and takes two of them and extra guns and heards back. She gets to them and tells them, "Guys they are near now. We have to act", she said, breathing so fast. So Lucida, are you in or out, what is it to continue pretending or you fight against them?", asked her husband, picking up some guns. Mrs Mackenzie was lost with her thoughts and didn't hear him speak. He touches her, she gets frightened and speaks,"how did Astraea die, I didn't get that part", she asks. "I shot him, he fell and I stabbed him with his swords and he died", answered Mr Dedekind. "His not, his powers won't kill him or even the sword, he will be awakened in any minute. He is in the witches dream land restoring his powers. He will be back, he's not dead and it's because of this magic. We need to stop it now", she said standing up. She continues talking "Change of plan, Kate you no longer dead, (Kate lifts her head up and looks at her) yeah, that what I said, you and him (pointing to Mr her husband) will fight the army of witches and you (pointing to Mr Dedekind) and I will try and stop that magic before him (pointing to Astraea) and his twin finish connecting", explained her. Mr Dedekind stood up as ordered, picked up the bomb, held it and followed her. They got to the stones. She looks around. She sees no hole. She sees a chair and takes it near the tree house and places it underneath the stones and they place the bomb on top of it. Mr Dedekind starts turning it on. It counts. The army of witches arrived. Mrs Mackenzie took her swords and fought them whereas Mr Mackenzie took his chain and chopped them one by one. It was easy to kill them but they kept waking up but they kept on fighting them. The moon shifted. Astraea started moving his hands. "His waking up", called Mrs Dedekind. "I can keep him busy, continue fighting them", said Mr Mackenzie fixing another wand. He heads to him and kicks off his wand and sticks away from him. He casts a spell on him. Astraea defends himself with his powers, he falls. Astraea stands up. Mrs Mackenzie sees him awake and walks to him ready to fight him. "Enough with your games, I know you know the truth so let fights", she said walking to him. "So you confess, finally you've grown a pair. I was waiting for this moment like forever to see you die like you've killed my father", he also said walking to her. "And you will follow him too", she replied in anger. "Unfortunately not, you're the one dying tonight. You traitor. You killed your own king and pretended as if nothing happened and lied to us", he said moving closer "I guess that makes the two of us. You're the one who killed my parents. At first I thought I wouldn't find out and that you lied to me", she laughs. Astraea gets angry, and wishes for an ax again. He jumps and heards for her. But she was prepared. She holds her breath and twists his soul, she says "And that for my husband, Scott and for you to tryna kill my child", she said throwing him down. "What you married, you traitor, you're dead. I wonder how you will explain yourself to ILiara and Cedric", he said standing up. "It's a pity I did n't call them you fool", she said to him. He throws the ax at her and it hits her in her leg. She falls and laughs "You traitor". Borra came running from the trees when Mr Dedekind jumped at him and knocked him down. He fell and Mr Dedekind threw punches at him. He tried burning his face again but he moved sideways. But when he throwed the second punch Borra held his hand and twisted his arm and threw him away. Borra got up and went to him. He lifted him and strangled him with fire in his hands. Mr Mackenzie woke and tangled his chain to Astraea legs who was moving to his wife and threw him away to the witches causing them to fall. He lifted her up. She stood up and went to help Mrs Dedekind who was now tired of fighting the witches. Astraea got up and ran to fight Mr Mackenzie. Mr Mackenzie remembered the death stone from the briefcase with his wand and took it out. Astraea jumped again whereas Mr Mackenzie also jumped. He realized his chain and the ax fell. He then casted the feroli spell onto him. Astraea fell to the ground and he fell on top of him and placed the stone of death in him, said out the spell and this time he died for real. The bomb was already about to explode when Mr Dedekind saw it. He planned his plan carefully. He tried kicking Borra so hard in his balls so he would let him go. Borra felt the pain and let him go. He held on to them and screamed a little. The bomb counted five, four, three and Mr Dedekind throwed Borra at it and he ran to hide. The bomb exploded with Borra on top of it. His body parts scattered everywhere and the stones separated and the magic stopped. The army of witches disappeared. Everything went back to normal and Astraea's body disappeared together with Borra's shedded parts. And they all sat down and laid on the ground. It was already through the next day around 2:00 am. The place was a mess, filled with blood, dead bodies, guns and broken things. Mr Dedekind sat up straight and looked around, his face bleeding, he spoke "So what next, what do we do now, not that it's over, I mean like over but what do we do next?" asked Mr Dedekind sitting up straight looking at the others breathing for the first in a lifetime. "It's already late. I think we should go home. Get some sleep and then we shall figure out the next step when we wake up after getting some rest", suggested Mr Mackenzie waking up from the ground. Mrs Dedekind looked at him and smiled, then said "Which home you are talking about, ours is badly damaged no one can sleep in here. I bet you wouldn't and all hotels are closed by now", cried Mrs Dedekind looking around. "Come and crash in with us but it's also, okay, if you can't", interrupted Mrs Mackenzie to Mrs Dedekind. "There's no problem at all, we can crash in. I guess we can go now there's nothing in here to take, except for Alice". She stands up and goes inside the house. She finds where she had left her, safe and sound in the secret red room and carries her. She came out holding her. She said "Then lets go". "Yeah lets go, we can really use some sleep right now", said Mr Dedekind yawning. He stands, followed by Mr and Mrs Mackenzie, Mr Dedekind walks to the garage. Mrs Dedekind took her sword whereas Mrs Mackenzie picked up all the stones and wand, placed them in the briefcase with Mr Mackenzie. Mr Dedekind screamed, "We have no transport, one is gone, the other ones are damaged, I guess we make a fire and sleep here". "I'm not letting .... ( she doesn't finish ). A car packed in the front gate. "Whose that, I better it's not another army again", said Mr Dedekind tirelessly. They walk to the front. Mrs Dedekind leads forward, she is the only one armed, the others follow. Along the way, she stops, "My car, who is driving it?", she asks to move to it. Mrs Mackenzie looks away and coughs. They look at her, "It's nothing but I think I know who's driving the car , there's nothing to be afraid of", she said. The bodyguards came out from the car. They looked exhausted, they've been fooled, they spent the whole night chasing thugs in a red car until they saw it, they've been fooled. Mr Dedekind had no time to talk but told them "Take us to their place", he commanded them to take Alice from her mother and put her in the car. The bodyguards looked at Mrs Mackenzie, she smiled at them and raised her shoulders. They all got in the car. Mr Mackenzie sat in front giving the bodyguard directions to his house. They arrived at Mackenzie's house. They got out of the car. Mrs Mackenzie showed the Dedekinds a room to sleep in and took Alice and placed her next to her friend. She and his husband went to their room and slept. During Elaine's Mother's sleep a message entered through her cell phone but she didn't hear it. She was asleep.
