Gladys and Amiya were on the road but Amiya had no knowledge of where her granny was taking her. But she trusted her, believed in her more than anyone at that moment. She carried her with high regards and admired her strength and sacrifice she's made for her, but she still asked:
"Where you taking me grandma?"
"Relax child. It won't be long"
"What won't be long?"
"Amiya just stop talking... Do you want some snacks? I have some snacks in the back"
"I don't want your snacks grandma. Tell me what's going on. You are freaking me out"
"Okay okay Miya" said Gladys and then she pulled up the car's breaks and they came into a halt. In the middle of nowhere and it started to get dark.
She took three deep breaths and then turned her attention to Amiya.
"We are going to the witch realm"
Amiya jumped up "What!"
"I know... I know but just let me explain"
"No! No grandma drive me back"
"Listen Miya, she has your mother. I know you've been visiting her frequently"
Amiya was ashamed that her secret was out, she calmed down for a minute and then she asked "She told you?"
"She didn't have to. I am the anchor of both worlds. This one and the one we all go when we die, the witch realm. I've seen you with her, I've seen how devastated you looked after seeing her"
"It's because Lunara holds her in a cage. Like an animal or a monkey in a zoo. She's losing it..." Amiya said and her voice was on the verge of crying. She was really traumatized by how her mother was tortured and punished for the mistakes she made.
"You can free her Miya, you can take her out of there and even back to the land of the living"
"Wait... I can do that?"
"Of course sweet child" Gladys said and held Amiya's face in her arms. Then she kissed both of her cheeks "You brought me back remember! You can bring your mother back too but you have to help Lunara"
"What can I do?"
"I'll guide you through every step. You will be fine"
Gladys kissed Amiya again and embraced her in a hug. She used her maternal instincts to woo her into the plans she and Lunara had. She drove Amiya to a strange motel far away from Warlington and from there, they both drew a pentagon using salt and some blood of magic. After few spells and incarnations they disappeared into another realm. The realm which hosted none but witches only. A place filled with flying dragons breathing fire and powerful witches practicing their daily magic whilst dead. The thing about witches is that after they die, they are not fully dead because they transition to the other side and be reborn again.
Lunara had ruled witch realm for a very long time and she sucked every magic out of the earth to keep her younger and beautiful everyday. She was ready to meet Amiya for the final piece of her plan.
*****************
After an encounter with Regina which rather felt really awkward. Alice made her way to her room quietly before she bumped into her father in the kitchen and he was only wearing a boxer. "Dad?" Alice called out and Mark turned back ashamed and humiliated. He placed a bowel in front of him to hide his private parts as he looked around nervously.
"Hey kiddo! How are you?" He said forcing a fake smile.
"I'm fine... what are you...doing?"
"I just came downstairs for some beer and tacos. I didn't expect you to be here, not at this time at least. It's unlike you so..."
"Wait, unlike me? Do I usually go out?"
Mark chuckled as he desperately held on to the bowel in front of him "Listen why don't you just go upstairs to your room and then we'll talk about it huh!"
"Is there a woman in your room?"
"Yes" Mark replied after sometime of silence.
The encounter between them kept being more awkward when a woman's voice came through saying "Mark...where's that beer bring your ass up here I'm horny already" and that was all Alice needed to leave her father alone.
"I'm sorry..."
"It's alright Dad! I'll just go out then" Alice said and barged outside.
She kept spinning around and asking herself a lot of questions. First of all they had just moved into town and her father was already banging on some chicks probably from next door. "What's he thinking? What about my mom? What's wrong with him...?" Alice kept cursing and screaming as she walked away. She was nearly hit by a fast moving vehicle before she was saved by a stranger passing nearby.
Everything felt unusual to her, she had a girl waving at her as she passed through a restaurant nearby and she didn't even know who she was however she waved back. The cars seemed so loud and fast it messed with her brain and she took a way out of the main road and to the woods where it was a bit quiet.
Then she heard a voice, a male voice she didn't recognize. "Alice!" It called out the voice and when she paid attention to who it was, there stood Hawaii tall and sexy with his hair falling onto his forehead.
He was in a black tuxedo with a bow tie, he looked hotter and sexier than ever. His eyes were fixed into Alice's and as usual he carried that smirk on his face. "Hello" he said softly and made few steps towards Alice who was scared and she started going backwards.
"It's alright, don't be scared Ali. I would never hurt you"
"Who are you? And how do you know my name"
"I know what's going on Regina filled me in and I just had to see it for myself"
"What?"
"That you've really forgotten me" said Hawaii with a bittersweet grin clearly hiding his pain. Then he moved closer and held Alice's arms "But it's all good, you can love me again. I love you and I will never stop loving you. This can't be how our story ends between me and you, I want us to start over again"
"Start over?" Alice jerked off. "I don't even know you"
"Alice it's alright. It's me..."
He pressed her arms harder and without noticing his vampire strength and ended up hurting her. Alice cried "You are hurting me... let me go"
"No! No Alice. I will never let you go. Never"
"Please... you are hurting me" Alice tried desperately to let go but Hawaii didn't release her. He pulled her closer and forced her to kiss him, she didn't want but Hawaii insisted on it.
He forced to put his tongue inside Alice's mouth but Alice struggled and then she kicked him in his groin. He fell down holding himself as Alice ran away towards the open road. She was fast but not faster than Hawaii who reached her in seconds using his vampire speed. Alice couldn't believe what was happening "How did you...?" She asked panting hard and trying to catch her breath.
"I told you Ali. I love you"
"Get away from me..." she kicked him again and this time it was straight to his private parts and when she took off Hawaii hadn't yet healed. He bit his jaws sucking in all the pain and had to hold on to a nearby tree for stability.
As he tried to regroup, Antonio was close by watching everything and it felt like a movie to him. A movie of two stupid lovers destined to be tested apart trying to reconcile. He laughed at Hawaii as he came out of the woods in his full black attire with a black coat on top.
"That was pathetic!" Antonio said.
Hawaii straightened up and looked at him "Not as pathetic as you" he said and walked to him. He closed a distance in such a way they were just a few meters apart. "What happened last night was pathetic. You are pathetic for not stopping your brother"
"Ouch! If I can recall correctly you all fled the scene as soon as Nazar turned into a flying wolf. I however stayed behind, you all are the pathetic ones"
"Say what you want but the truth... is all over your face"
"And what's that?"
"You never wanted to help us in the very beginning. I mean why would you? I fucked you up all those years ago, I took your one true love and it must hurt you so deep to see her trying to protect me every time you wanted to kill me. Be honest Antonio it was never her... It was never about Nina. But it was always me. You wanted to kill me desperately, admit it!"
"I had every reason to and I still can so don't get cocky with me Julian" said Antonio and pushed him back hard.
"What do you want then? Do it right now, I dare you..."
"You are heartbroken I know that. She will never love you again" Antonio giggled as Hawaii's anger grew "The fairytale is over. She won't remember you, Nazar or any of us. It's all wiped up clean amigo. Move on!"
Hawaii was so angry and he jumped into Antonio and wrestled him down. He tried to hold him still but Antonio was too powerful for him and he pushed him back and stood up quickly. Just when Hawaii got up he was nowhere to be seen, he vanished and Hawaii was left all alone panting and trying to control his anger.
Until he couldn't and he broke down and cried. He screamed his lungs out and scorched the earth till his nails were dirty. Him being a vampire didn't help either considering they had their emotions heightened and he felt loss and anger at the maximum of point and there was no way of escaping it.
Nina was out that night with Regina looking for Hawaii but instead they met with Alice who was confused and running. They tried to call her but she just kept running until she reached her home and from there she opened the door and went inside.
"Something's wrong, I can tell it" Nina said looking around and sniffing. Then she stood still on the road which had no cars passing through and then she paid attention to every voice and movement trying to find where Hawaii was. But she was interrupted with Antonio.
Antonio moved closer to Nina;
"We have bigger issues to worry apart from your best friend being dumped. There's bigger problem, the spectators...."
Regina gasped "Oh Jesus! I nearly forgot about them"
"Well Lunara hasn't forget especially now that Nazar has outsmart her. And I've learned a very important thing today. It concerns your witch friend Amiya"
"What about her?" Nina asked with a look of concern. She's always so concerned about her friends.
"She's the last of her kind. The last surviving witch of Salem"
"We've know that for a while"
"Well hold yourself for what I'm going to tell you. The spectators can't cross the anchor to earth without her magic. She's the only one who can channel the power of all the witches who were burned during the great massacre and then she will have to use that power to open the veil of the underworld"
"The underworld!" Regina exclaimed in shock.
"Yes the underworld, that's where the spectators are coming from and if she succeeds then we will perish like flies. One bite from a spectator can kill a vampire in less than one second. And can tore a werewolf into pieces in just a minute. They are powerful, immortal, strong and lethal. That friend of yours needs to be kept in check, Lunara must never find her"
"Oh shit..." Nina cursed out and quickly took her phone to call Amiya.
But it went to straight to voicemail. None of them knew that they were late and Lunara had gotten to Amiya earlier and she was under her protection at that moment. Antonio left them and they rushed to Nina's car driving to Amiya's home with a hope of finding her there.
Along the way Nina kept reminding Regina how she just came downstairs and they weren't there anymore. "I took Hawaii upstairs to put him down and then I heard Amiya saying granny why you whispering, but I didn't pay attention to them. I didn't want to eavesdrop their conversation and only if I had returned sooner..."
"Just keep driving she could be at home"
"If she isn't there Regi, we are screwed" said Nina and turned aside to look at Regina with both of their facial expressions displaying fear of what was about to be unleashed.
