Lily stood Infront of Luca who was moving back on the floor.
"How could you do such a thing? Why did you took advantage of me?". She asked as she walked closer to him while he also moved back. King, Steve, and Aziz went and pulled him up.
"Lily, you are getting it all wrong". He said.
"Getting it all wrong you say? After tricking me into accepting a soda that changed me? Is that what I'm getting wrong !?". She yelled again and he flinched.
"I'm sorry". He pleaded and always everyone yelled.
"Eieh, Luca saying, 'sorry!?". They said in amazement.
"Hmm.. sorry, do you understand what you are saying. I don't care about your damn sorry, today marks your end!". She said and was about to grab him when her father pulled her back.
"Lily, what is wrong with you". Her father said.
"Let's go of me, you are all very selfish. Why did you try to ruin my life?". She snapped at Luca.
"Put yourself together, Lily".
"If you know the kind of pain I'm going through you won't be telling me to put myself together .. why? Just tell me why? I should put myself together ". She said.
"Calm down ". Her father said again.
"Hey, all of you leave at once! There is nothing to see here". He said to the student and they murmured before leaving, wondering why Lily was behaving like that.
"And you, if I ever see you 30ft close to me, I'll roast you alive!". Lily said. She looked at Dela but he looked away. That action alone broke her heart. She bent her head and walked away.
Luca used his hand to wipe away the blood that came from his mouth when Lily slapped him.
"How does it feel to taste your blood, Luca". Dela scoffed.
"Mind your business, Dela". That way you'll live longer". He said.
"I think that advice should be directed to who it may concern which is you. Anyways, I'm not satisfied with the slap. You need something more severe to teach you not to go for what does not belong to you". Dela said.
Luca scoffed and left.
" What are you planning to do?". Hosea asked.
" Nothing". He said and they left too.
After they left the school, Hosea followed Dela to make sure he is not trying anything stupid.
" Come on, Hosea I'm not gonna do anything". He said as he hung his bag on his shoulder.
" You are not gonna do anything but you are thinking of visiting Luca tonight". Hosea said.
Dela turned to face her. " Can you please stop listening to my thought?". He asked.
" I told you, your thought are mine too. No matter how I try not to listen, I still hear them in my mind ". Hosea said.
" Is that with Layla too?". He asked.
" How will I know". She answered.
" And wait, why can't I hear yours? He asked again and Hosea looked at him with pity.
" That...I don't know too". Hosea answered.
Dela facepalmed. " I'm not gonna kill him, I'm only going to teach him some small lesson". He said.
" Then I'm gonna come with you". Hosea said.
" No!". He answered and ran away.

Luca just finished taking his shower and he put on his pajamas. Yeah, he was staying alone. His mother asked king to come and stay with him but he refused because of his attitude. Sometimes he gives the excuse that he wasn't a kid and can take care of himself.
Luca took his phone and browser through the internet for a while. He yawned and stood up to visit the kitchen for a snack when all the lights in his house went off.
" Mmm! Seems like there is a power outage", he said, but just then thunder struck and he flinched. " What is going on?". He looked around the room and gasped when his eyes caught something in the shadows. " Who is there?". He asked with a shaky voice as he started memorizing a spell in his head.
The person came out and he gasped.
" You!". He exclaimed.
" Hey, why don't we have some fun!". Dela said with a mischievous smirk plastered on his face.
Luca gasped and moved back when Dela brought water balls from his hands. " What are you doing here? Don't you have some manners? Breaking into other people's houses and invaliding their privacy?". He asked.
Dela threw his head back and laughed. " Did I hear you saying privacy? Since when did you care about that..huh?". Dela asked, taking slow steps towards Luca, who was still moving back.
" Casting a love potion spell on Lily and controlling her, then trying to trick her into marking you and making you her mate sound like an invasion of privacy to me". Dela said.
"So, this is all about Lily?". Luca muttered and Dela scoffed.
"I told you that I wasn't satisfied with what happened to you, so I'm here to lend a helping hand. It is very necessary to help someone in need, right?". Dela flashed him a smile.
"Dela, stay away from me don't come any closer, or else I will turn you into a frog". Luca threatened as he started chanting a spell in his head.
Dela rolled the ball and threw them but Luca was too fast to dodge it. Dela smiled and threw another ball. Luca dodged that as well.
"You are pretty cool at dodging stuff". Dela complimented with a charming smile.
"Yeah, so you have a lot to learn. Learn how to aim right and..". His last words were interrupted by a water ball that flew and hit his mouth. He snapped his head up and glared wickedly at Dela.
"What? You were talking too much so I had to shut you up. What better way than hitting your mouth?". Dela mocked.
" Look Dela, I don't care who you are or wherever you're from. I don't give a damn on whether you are the most powerful or not. Get out of my room, or else I will call the cops on you". Luca threatened again.
" Oh, I'm soo scared. Please don't call the cops". Dela whined in a mocking tone. " I won't get away from here till I'm done with you. No one messed up with those I care about and go scott free ". Dela said.
" What with you and Lily? Not like she even like you". Luca said with a bit of annoyance.
" And she hates you". Dela said.
" Then, what is the need for all these?". Luca asked.
They kept on hitting each other with their powers and Dela kept on mocking and teasing Luca.
Luca was getting Dela more and more annoyed not knowing although he had learned to control his powers, still he can be dangerous at times.
Dela raised him and taught him a valuable lesson. He made sure to leave bruise on his body and just as he was about to throw him to the ground again, Hosea interrupted them.
"Dela!". She called and rushed to hold Luca up, but Dela dragged her from him.
" I told you not to follow me, didn't I?". Dela snapped at Hosea.
" I'm glad I did, do you want to kill him? Come on!". Hosea said.
" He deserves whatever he gets". Dela said.
"Of course, he deserves it, by you went overboard and wait
I'm not getting you, not like he did that to Layla it was Lily he tried that on. Why are you so much concerned about her? Doesn't she ha a family? won't someone be crushing on her too? Dela get in your sense for you love my sister, not Lily, forgotten? Now, look at him". Hosea said and pointing at Luca who lay helplessly like he as no life in him.
Dela hissed and disappeared, Hosea wanted to follow him, but Luca whimpered and started gasping for breath. "Luca!". She rushed to him.
He couldn't talk and his breathing was unstable. She rushed and brought water from her hands and splashed it on him but it didn't work. She ruffled her hair and groaned.
"Mm..why must I be the one to do this?". She asked no one in particular. She hugged him and a vapor emanated from her body and surrounded them. His tensed body calmed down and his breathing stabilized. His eyes snapped opened and met that of Hosea. He stared at her as tears dropped from his eyes.
"You are his guardian, why did you save me?". He asked.
"Because is the right thing to do". She said and disengaged from the hug.
Luca stood up and check his body. Although the bruise was still visible, he couldn't feel any pain.
"You. ".
"I couldn't heal you completely but I took the pain away. Goodnight!". She said and didn't wait for him to say anything and she left.
Luca touched the bruise and expected
to feel pain but didn't. " She took the pain away? How is that even possible?". he muttered to himself and headed to his bathroom.

Dela appeared back in his room only to meet Aunt Maggie's angry face. She asked him where he was coming from and he lied to her that he went outside to test his powers.
" At this time of the day?". Aunt Maggie asked and he pressed his lips together.
" I..I..um..is true I was only testing my powers outside". He said and twisted his hands behind his back. Wherever he is lying, he twisted his hands behind his back.
" Okay, so now where is Hosea?". Aunt Maggie asked.
" Hosea?..Hosea. Mmm". Just when he was about to tell another lie, Hosea appeared in front of them.
Aunt Maggie immediately asked her if what Dela told her was true or not. Hosea also wanted to cover up for him, but when she remembered what her father told her before coming, she stopped and told her the truth but not all. She only said that Dela tested his powers on someone and he was being naughty which made Aunt Maggie warn him to stay out of trouble.
" I will Aunt". He said and Aunt Maggie went out of his room. Hosea looked at him and disappeared.
The next day in school, Luca walked to school wearing a hoodie. The weather was normal, so the student didn't get why he was dressed like that. They could only murmur but they don't date opened their mouth.
" Why are you dressed like this?". Steve asked as they walked passed Dela who was taking out his books from his locker.
Luca snorted and glared at Dela. " Long story. I would have been dead by now, but I'm alive all thanks to Hosea". Luca said.
" What happened?". Aziz asked.
" Dela almost killed me last night, just because I took control of Lily's mind". He said.
" What is wrong with him? Is he crazy or something!". Steve said.
" He is a lunatic! I'm not done with him yet. I will get my revenge". Luca said and walked away, while the rest followed him.
