A black SUV car with a tinted glass arrived in front of Cole's home,
"Mother, what are we to tell them?"
, the Queen could not help but ask, she was not sure of how the Cole's would receive the news of their daughter been caught in a trance and spell of a great witch, before she knew the king's mother she had been scared of the news said of the witches but knowing her, her fears had subsided in different ways and the woman had come to be her greatest confider.
"we would tell them what they need to know"Grandmother Royale simply replied.
if the king's mother had told her this year's back then she was still human she had probably been scared but she knew her too much now and know she would always find a way.
remembering the mark she had seen on Jasmine's neck she wondered if Grandmother Royale had noticed it too, she knew that mark could have only been from her son, she decided to ask.
"Mother did you notice the mark on Jasmine's neck?" she asked.
"I did?"Grandmothers reply was short and this got the Queen curious the more 'is she hiding something from me' she thought.
"mother do you think it triggered all of this?" she asked again.
"cough. cough"Grandma cough got the Queen's eye widened and it got widened the more when the white handkerchief in her hands got stained with. looks she had noticed how she winced when she moved close to Jasmine.
"mother are you okay, let's get in the Cole's might think we want them to come out after all we've called them, we might get something for this cough" she rasped quickly.
Holding Grandmother Royales hand in hers she walked out of the car whose door had been opened earlier by the driver.
walking straight to the entrance door of the Cole's, she rang the doorbell, as she was about to ring it the second time, the door opened.
The Cole's had noticed the car parked in front of their house, they didn't know if it was the Royales, but had made no advance in finding out.
when they noticed the two feminine figures walked out of the car with the hand of the young one wrapped around the old one they quickly stood to open it.
Mrs Cole bent her knees in curtsey at the two people in front of her.
"your majesty, Grandma you could have called us over to the palace you didn't have to come here you know"Mr Cole spoke.
"It's alright we just wanted to have a chat with you without the kids involved," the Queen replied with a smile, still Grandma Royale has not uttered a word.
"I came to ask a question concerning Jasmine and I would like you to answer us truthfully that's the only thing that can help matters now"Grandma's firm and a serious voice rang in the air leaving the Queen worried and at the same time astounded.
The look the Cole's shared did not escape Grandma Royales eyes, she knew they were hiding something from them, but who wouldn't, everything happening lately was so fast, no one could apprehend it.
"what exactly do you want to know Grandmother"Mrs Cole asked.
"Every word can tell and can be expressed in words, who are you?"Grandmother Royale replied
"before you continue can I get an ice pack?" she requested.
'Standing up to get the ice was Mrs cole, once she had given it to her she went to the seat beside her husband.
"Grandma is there something wrong with Jasmine?"Mr Cole asked with worry in his expression.
"I will tell you all that happened after we have gotten our answers to our presence here."Grandma Royale replied as she chewed the ice slowly.
"ok, but what I'm about to say can only be said in a place where we are secured, how about we move back to the palace "Mrs Cole suggested.
The Queen was about to say something when she felt Grandma Royales hand tighten on the arms she held in hers, she kept quiet.
"since you want it that way, my daughter will go back with the driver to the palace, I can take you to the palace myself, I know a lot of eyes are wandering around you"Grandmother Royale didn't hide her distrust towards her in-laws which was why she offered to take them back to the palace in her way.
"mother you can't use your powers, you know that"The Queen showed her distaste in Grandmother's suggestion.
"I'm okay it's just a second ride okay, meet me at home ok" assuring her daughter in law she stood up with The Queen's help moving close to the Cole's she held their arms and within a second they were gone.
Moving to the door Quickly she locked it and moved to the car she didn't explain to the perplexed driver where Grandmother Royale was and he didn't bother to ask as well, as they headed back to the palace
______________________________________________
On getting to the palace, Grandmother Royale had teleported them straight to her room, she held her chest tightly, the pain she felt had reduced after eating the ice blocks given to her she knew at once her human features were returning she just wasn't sure of how long jasmines healing would last.
"so can we continue"Grandmother Royale asked snapping her fingers five glass of water appeared in them, she placed them all on her bedside table, before facing the Cole's who had sat at the edge of her bed at her gesture.
"We are what you call the invokers"Mrs Cole was the first to speak, she paused to see Grandma Royales reaction when she got none she continued.
"We are the remaining ones alive I think, we are still not sure"Mrs Cole continued as she spoke for her husband as well with the "we" in every word she spoke.
This earned her a smile from Grandma Royale, the Cole's were the ones who got shocked this time they had expected a reaction different from this, but a smile was not what they expected they at once called her crazy in their minds together.
unable to read what was going on in her mind Mr Cole took the initiative to ask.
"Grandma is everything alright?" he asked staring at the elder before him, he didn't know vampires could age, he wondered if they were different, but he had smelled a greater power and aura surrounding the prince emanating from him and he knew they were different at once.
"yeah I'm good, invokers!" the word rolled out of Grandmother Royale lips.
"I thought you guys didn't exist but now I know why I'm so drawn to your daughter and why my Grandson was attracted to her at first sight, I would like to know how you managed to exist" she frowned slightly before continuing
The door to her room opened it was The Queen.
"it's just getting better," she thought.
"Let's continue" she finally said.
