Chapter 42 - FOURTY TWO

"I heard someone calling me a weirdo" Clara said, and every body pointed to Kyle.

"Aunt Clara, h...hey, what's up, you look good" Kyle stammered.

"So I have a weirdo vibe huh?" Clara walked up to Kyle, the others watching excitedly.

"N.....no, that's not what I meant, I'm sorry" Kyle pleaded as vines crawled up his legs .

"Guys help, I'm getting crushed here" Kyle shouted as the vines kept on crawling.

"Nahh, that's your cross to bear, and neither of us wants to be crushed too, so yeah" Jason crossed his arms on his chest.

"Aunt Clara I'm sorry please" Kyle continued pleading but it was all in vein.

"Aunty please let him go so that we can go on with what I called you for, please" Selena got up and held her arms and only then did Clara stop.

"That's a warning, don't talk behind people's back, especially your elders pup" Clara turned to Selena.

"So, why did you call me here Selena?" Clara asked her.

"Well, I wanted answers...You see I had this dream where I lost control over my dark side. There was war and so many dead bodies. There was another man there but I couldn't see his face. He said strange things like, he was going to take over the supernatural world" Selena paused to see her reaction then continued when Clara nodded.

"So we fought and I defeated him but he was so strong, he had red eyes and huge wings, I think he is also a witch because he was chanting different words that made creatures emerge from either the ground or thin air. He seemed to be using black sorcery and there were some witches with him. After I defeated him, I lost it, I couldn't stop, I wanted more blood, it felt so real, I was even killing the pack warriors, but Jason stopped me and tried to snap me out of it. Then I said something weird. I said that I was Selena but not the Selena that Jason knows, It like an entirely different version of me, like an evil me, I was about to go for another kill when Jason stabbed me with a dagger that was glowing, white mist was coming out of the strange dagger and suddenly, I started screaming, before I finally fell and died, that's when I woke up but it felt so real, like I was there" Selena finished with shaky breath as she reminisced the nightmare. Clara was still quiet.

"Well Aunty, say something" Selena stared at Clara hopefully.

"Well for starters, that wasn't a dream, It was in fact a vision" Clara finally said after taking a deep breath then paused.

"The goddess showed you a glimpse of the future and that man that was using black sorcery was your uncle...." Clara examined Selena's reaction and as expected, she was bewildered.

"MY WHAT??!!!" Selena shouted looking at Clara intensively.

"UNLCE???!!!!!" The others said simultaneously, as shocked as Selena.

"Your, uncle" Clara answered Selena.

"H...how? W..why?" Selena questioned puzzled as the others looked on in shock.

"Well, your uncle is the only one that has unlocked the spirit of black magic as I have noticed. And he is the only one searching for you and wants to kill you" Clara stated, earning a deep growl from Jason.

"W....wait, why would my own uncle want to kill me? And how did he unlock this black magic spirit thing?" Selena asked exasperatedly.

"Well, firstly, I don't know why he needs your blood or why he wants you dead, but I know he wants to kill you. Secondly, no one knows how he unlocked the spirit of black magic because apparently, the spirits were locked away for centuries as our ancestors believed that it could cause dangerous consequences to the host" Clara narrated.

"W...wait, you said it was locked away, where?" Damien suddenly asked.

"Well from the books I read, It was locked in a huge black book by spells, inside a dilapidated castle, which was apparently casted by our fathers, why?" Clara explained as she turned back to Damien.

"Do you know anything about this man? Did he have any enemies? Was he a greedy man?" Damien continued asking questions.

"Of course I know him, he is my brother, he...." 

"BROTHER???!!!!" Jason, Allison and Mila shouted at once.

"Yeah, he is my brother, Liam, and he was indeed greedy, he always wanted power, he wanted power so much he captured my sister, Selena's mother, and now he wants Selena dead, only goddess knows why" Clara informed.

"Hold on, My uncle is the one that captured my mum, But why?... Maybe he is also holding my father " Clara figured as a lone tear fell from her eyes.

"He captured your mother because he wanted the throne, when dad died, mum also died, but before she died, she said that Naomi will be the next ruler, Liam was so angry because he thought he would get the throne, after Naomi's coronation, he disappeared and for decades, he was nowhere to be found. Naomi found her mate and left for her mate's kingdom as he was the supreme alpha king, leaving the throne to her next in command as she didn't trust Liam and he was nowhere to be found. After so many years, Liam returned and ambushed the kingdom" Clara closed her eyes remembering the past.

"What about dad?" Selena asked in tears.

"Well I don't really know, your mother would be the one to tell you that" Clara sighed.

"Naomi" Selena whispered as she smiled bitterly.

"Boy you've been deep in thoughts, what's on your mind?" Clara looked at Damien who was still deep in thoughts as she petted Selena.

"THAT'S IT, I GOT IT, YES!!!!" Damien exclaimed as he jumped off his feet.

"What's it and you got....what?" Kyle, who has been silent finally spoke.

"See, if Liam was that power hungry, and jealous, and left for so many years, he must have found the book, the book probably sensed his anger and deep greed for power and saw an opportunity to be free, so it called him. Maybe he was close to the location and then being controlled, he went into the castle found the book and opened it. From my guess, that's when all this problems begun" Damien said In one breath.

"Yeah, you have a point. That book must have given him more powers and evil ideas on how to take over the throne" Jason suggested.

"Oh yeah...but wait, Selena, you said that in your dream he said that he wants to control the entire supernatural world" Kyle questioned.

"Yeah?" Selena confirmed, her hands sweating.

"Meaning, Liam plans to use that book to control the supernatural realm...and that book contains different spells to control the dead and creatures of the night" Clara swallowed the lump on her throat.

"This is bad" Jason whispered....

"Oh no" Kyle and Damien added........

"Wait Aunt Clara, is there a way to control my dark side?" Selena broke the silence.

"I don't think you'll need to" Clara placed her hand on her forehead.

"W...why?" Selena asked her heart running a marathon.

"Well because black magic is a very powerful spirit and I'm thinking without your dark side, you wouldn't be able to survive him. So you'll have to use your dark side to defeat his black magic" Clara sighed dejectedly.

"Oh dear God" Selena slumped on the ground, Allison and Mila rushing to her.

"Oh by the way, you guys must be their mates, why have you been quiet? I even forgot you guys were there" Clara questioned the girls.

"Yeah girls, you've been so quiet" Kyle added.

"Well we don't know what to say, this is still new to us, I'm even very confused and scared. I only understood the part where Liam is the bad guy, Selena's mother is captured, you are Selena's aunt and Selena has a dark side. Anything more than that is just confusing but don't let me stop you, carry on, I'll ask Damien later" Allison said in one go.

"Yeah, what she said, she read my mind, I'm was almost crying from how confused I am, damn" Mila exaggerated making every body laugh at her dramatic nature.

"You and Kyle are so fit for each other" Damien laughed.

"So aunty, where is Liam now?" Selena asked.

"He's in your father's kingdom right now, only Goddess knows what he's planning with that book" Clara said lost in her thoughts.

"So what's the plan, cause we will eventually have to rescue Selena's mum from that no good maniac" Jason stood up again.

"The plan is to train your ass out cause there no way you can go to that kingdom like this" Clara looked at Jason from top to bottom.

"And what could you possibly mean by that?" Jason frowned.

"Well, you are not strong enough to even beat his warriors talk less of rescuing someone under his watch. So for now, starting from tomorrow, we all meet here and train from 6 to 3. Allison and Mila, I'll also teach some tricks and techniques to defend your selves as you won't need to fight much. Mila, I'll teach you some methods to make a good medicine" Clara stared at their shocked faces and smiled knowing what they were thinking, then she disappeared as if she was never there.

"WHAT!!!!!" They shouted simultaneously........
