Hosea stepped aside and Layla took a reading glasses from the case on the table and then sat down to read.
"Thousand years ago, the realm of pure magic was ruled by two people who were called Zeeva and Drakon, two powerful supernaturals who were gifted with countless abilities, Zeeva was an Archer Angel while Drakon was a demon, a good one which shocked many people",
As she continued reading, the book started displaying everything. They gasped and watched like a movie. Layla continues.
"Then one day, their kingdom was attacked. There was bloodshed as the kingdom was thrown into uproar. Swords flew in different directions as soldiers dropped to the ground like flies.
Drakon and Zeeva fought with all their might but it seemed like the vampires has the upper hand.
They had convinced with the demons to take over the throne of pure magic.
The demon had used all their wicked methods to lure Drakon to take side with them but he refused and stood by Zeeva.
Both tried their best and fought with everything they believed in but soon, darkness took over. Drakon and Zeeva were stabbed with a sword dipped in witches poison and both fell into the ocean.
In there , they held hands together and vowed not to separate, even in death.
In their embrace, both joined their souls together and made it into a ball.
"We promised to be together, Drakon.
Our souls will find solace in a supernatural beings. A thousand years to come, a baby would be born and inside that boy would our souls abide. He would become the ruler of the realm of pure magic powers".
Zeeva said as blood gushed out of the sword in her chest.
"In this ocean we died but will find our solace here too.
The child and the ocean shall become one and because of the demon blood he would have, there would be two pure souls to stand by his side.
They will come from the water as well and two of them shall become one while the other will protect them".
Drakon said their souls flew up and disappeared. With hands wrapped around each other, they breath their last breath.
A THOUSAND YEARS LATER
In the kingdom of CHAD, two souls said to be the purest were born. They sky lit up with stars and the ocean danced in celebration. The water kingdom was thrown into a fit of celebration as these children came out with a mark of purity and symbols behind their ears. These two baby girls were Hosea and Layla. Layla was a water baby but as the powers of the earth so they gave her into their own earthly family member Bécky who was king Harven sisters first child.
***
One night that was very cold, before those two girls were born. A baby boy was born. It was as if an earthquake had landed. The ocean rose and fell, the sky flashed with lightning, great tress fell to the ground and evils had no peace that night. His name was DELA.
As the prophecy made by Zeeva and Drakon foretold, this three souls shall meet each other. One, a half Archer Angel and a half demon, the second , the purest of soul ability to control water and fire, and the third the purest of souls with the ability to control water, air, fire and earth. This is where the Legend of Hosea, Layla, and Dela begins.
***
Layla stopped and Aunt Maggie gasped.
"So it wasn't because of my brother's wrong deeds that cause the demons and the vampires to chase after us". She said.
"I'm a half-Archer Angel and a half-demon?". Dela asked.
"Yes dear, you have the souls of Zeeva and Drakon in you". explained.
"So I'm Hosea's little sister?". Layla asked and they looked at her.
"Yes my dear, she is your twin sister ". Aunt Maggie said and held her shoulder. Layla walked up to Hosea and hugged her tightly.
"That is why I have liked you the very first day I save you". Layla said.
"Me too Layla, I even wanted to ask my mum about it but I have to wait for the right time and I guess this is the right time ". Hosea smiled.
"Yes Hosea, but don't forget her earthly mother gave birth to her as a human ". Dela teased.
"So what, have we called you". Hosea chuckled and Layla laughed.
"Anyway guys I think I need to go my time is up", She said and checked the clock in her hands.
"Why? can't you even wait for a while ". Hosea requested.
'i wish too, but if my mom enter my room and didn't find me, I will be in trouble". She said and they laughed.
"Okay have a good day, and thanks for the visit". Kelly said and Aunt Maggie nodded. Dela hugged her tightly and then waved her goodbye so did Hosea. Layla disappeared.
"Hmmm...soo strange," Aunt Maggie said.
"So, his powers weren't locked while he was a child?". Aunt Maggie asked.
"I'm soo speechless". Hoses said, all these were too much for her to bare.
"Please someone should continue reading". Aunt Maggie said and Kelly raised his hands. He took his glasses and sat down then begin reading the things that happened when they were there.
Dela looked into the book. "Aunt look, that is me and you when I first came to your place". Dela said.
"You're right. It is saying a story of what has been happening till now. This was where you almost killed Luca? Where you met Lily and Hosea and now you are in this library". Aunt Maggie said and they laughed.
They open another page and it was blank
"What's happened?". Hosea asked.
"I think the three of you are going to write the remaining story on your own". Kelly said and faced her.
"How?". They asked.
"I think the more things happen to you guys from now till forever, the book will write it down. So, this is your story, and is up to the three of you to give it a lovable ending". Kelly said.
"I'm confused ". Dela put his hands on his head and Hosea held him.
" You will know as time rolls on. Please, it is up to the three of you. Is unfortunate that Layla couldn't wait up till now, but Dela is up to you and Layla to decide fate. Be careful of the decision you're going to make. The ending of the story depends on you and Layla together with Hosea". Aunt Maggie said.
"I understand, we will try our best, right Dela?". Hosea asked.
"Yeah". He said as he leaned on her.
" You two may go now". Kelly said.
"I need some fresh air". Dela said and started to leave.
"Are we forgetting something? Hosea asked and they both exclaimed.
"Lily".
"Wait, we haven't gotten the undoing spell yet and we are planning on leaving already ". Hosea said.
"Just get it and let us go". Dela said.
Hosea nodded and followed Kelly to the shelf where Kelly brought out a book and flipped the pages a little before finding the spell undoing. He quickly copied it into a school paper and handed it over to Hosea.
"This is the spell that can undo the undoable spells in the universe. Just recite it Infront of Lily or who she is, and she will be back to normal". Kelly said.
Hosea collected it and smiled. " Thanks". She said.
"Today is a good day. This is the first time you're giving me a genuine smile and thanking me from your heart, Hosea". Kelly said.
"And I regret it". Hosea taunted.
"Whatever!". Kelly rolled his eyes and they laughed.
"We will get going ". Hosea said.
" Alright, you guys should be careful okay". Aunt Maggie said.
"We will Aunt, see you at home ". Dela said as they waved them goodbye and vanished.
Dela and Hosea reappeared in the school and quickly headed to the building where they had kept Lily. On their way, there was an awkward silence between them, unlike the first time. Hosea also noticed that Dela wasn't the same.
"Are you alright!". She asked.
"Yeah, is just that I'm still shocked and I'm waiting for my heartbeat to beat at a normal rate. I'll be fine ". He assured her.
"Okay ". She smiled as they got to the door.
They opened it and Lily was still in there.
"You two spent the whole day in whatever fucking place you went to, and left me here to die!". She snapped at them.
"We never wanted you to die". Dela defended.
"Just shut up! I hate you". She said.
"Hosea, get that hell out of her I'm tired of hearing it now". Dela said.
Hosea came forward and stood in front of Lily. She looked at her and laughed then started to recite the spell. She recited the spell and Lily froze. The ice melted and Lily became warm.
"Did it work?,. And will she still remember what she has been doing when she is out?". Dela asked.
"Let's just see". Hosea said.
Lily shook her head as the water surrounding her disappeared. She was about to fell to the ground when Dela held her up for a while before she became normal.
"Hosea, Dela what I'm I doing here?". She asked and they screamed in excitement.
"It worked!". They exclaimed again.
Lily felt a little dazzled as she sat down and remembered all that she has done.
"Me? Did I do that!?". She asked and they nodded their heads.
She looked at Dela and then back to Hosea. She bent down in Infront of Dela to ask for forgiveness, but Dela pretended to act angry and ignored her.
"No!". He answered and looked away, smiling to himself.
" Oh, I'm soo going to kill Luca with my bare hands".
Hosea turned to Dela and dragged him to the corner. "Why did you tell her no when what you wanted to say was yes?". Hosea asked.
"See, I can't show her that I forgive her just like that". He answered.
"But you know that wasn't her fault ". Hosea asked.
"Yeah, I just want her to feel bad a little next time he won't trust people soo easily. He almost took her away from me. Imagine if she had marked that demon. Lily would have been lost forever". Dela said and walked out. Hosea just watched him. She sighed and followed him out.
On the other hand, Lily was looking around for Luca but wasn't able to find him. She decided to go and see her father first. She pushed open the door and entered, then stormed to her father's table.
Mr. Ling looked up from what he was doing and met Lily's angry face.
"Lily, what is it? Why is your face like that?"
"It annoys me to hear you call my name. I have been under a spell all this while but you never cared to break it!". Lily screamed.
"So, was that why you have been acting strange lately. I thought you had returned to the Lily I know". Mr. Ling said knowing.
"Oh, then you thought wrong . You were blinded by your selfish interest that you didn't care to know why I was acting like a lunatic. What a great father you are!". Lily mocked.
"Don't say that, I'm your father and I want the best for you".
"What kind of a good father, uses his daughter for his gain, huh? Because of Luca and your carelessness, I hurt Dela. I hurt him when I was the one that swore to protect him. Because of you guys, he is now mad at me", Lily said, her voice cracking like she wants to cry. " I feel so terrible. I can't forgive myself for this. I even tried to mark..to mark that demon". She wept.
"What? A demon! How did it go that far?". Mr. Ling asked in a shocked tone.
" You should have known, if only you had played your role as a father". With that being said, she stood up and walked out.
Immediately she stepped out, she came face to face with Luca. Anger built up inside her and felt like tearing her to shreds.
Luca walked up to her with a smile on his face.
" Lily, where have you been? I have been looking for you everywhere? And, why do you look sad?". He asked all those questions but didn't get any answers. "Is it because we weren't able to finish what we started? Come on, let's disappear to a place where no one will find us and continues". He said and was about to hold her but she slapped his hands off her.
" You! You demon!". She yelled and slapped him.
Luca fell on the floor and some of the students who were yet to go home gathered to watch what was happening. Hosea and Dela also arrived at the scene instantly.
Luca looked at her eyes and they were back to their normal colors. That was when he realized that the spell he put on her had been broken. He gulped down in fear and moved back.
