Read Story: SEASON 2 EPISODE 4

#MIRANDA

10 years in the human world equals a year in the witch world, but to me it seems like I’ve spent a 100 years…

Ever since, Riley and I split up, I decided to move back to the witch world and stay there forever .. As the years passed, not for once did I bother to check or see how the human world had changed..

So In order to occupy and keep myself busy, I began to teach healing magic and binding spells to the young and upcoming witches and wizards back the witch world… It was fun really but I didn’t quite enjoy it, I still hated crowds.. Somehow the young critters knew about my behavior around them and tried not to offend me in any way.

The youngsters weren’t bad really, They were good kids and humble but there was one thing I wished they’d stop… They had this habit of asking about my relationship with Riley every once in a while.

Every one in the witch world knew about my romance with Riley, and I soon became a celebrity, the first witch to fall in love with a human and gets away with it without being punished but that wasn’t the only thing I was famous for, Lucas’s defeat also gained me some amount of respect but despite that.. Some of the witches ridiculed me, laughing about how my romance with Riley turned out in the end… I paid no attention to them of course but when I was alone, I would cry about it… Sometimes I would curse Riley for choosing that option.. Why couldn’t he choose me? And not only will he have me but he’ll be immortal as well. That way we can spend centuries with each other.. But then I reminded myself that, That would be selfish and cruel if Riley chose me cause he wouldn’t see his family and friends again and the worst part was he wouldn’t have the chance to say good bye.. What pains me the most is that, Everything Riley and I did, was all wiped from head.. Every beautiful moment he had was wiped out completely, like it was nothing.

No matter how I tried I couldn’t forget about my moments with Riley, those moments were the most important and exciting thing I’ve experienced in my entire life.. But now that we’re both separated there’s nothing we can do.. Maybe this is the way things are meant to be.

As for my curious students, sometimes I’ll give them an answer, sometimes I’ll not.. Bringing up questions about my romance with Riley will only continue to break my heart and I can’t bear that anymore.. It’s time to forget about the past and move on.

Things have certainly changed in the witches world as the years passed, My Aunt Jezebel had retired and stepped down from her seat in the witches council, after that she later got married to one wizard and they lived a quiet and happy life together.

As for my brother Oliver, well, he has changed a bit unlike before, recently as of late, he’s becoming quite ambitious, He’s now the leader of the witch’s guild based in Ibadan, the witch’s guild is an organization serving the council to safe guard our existences from the humans and they’re sure doing a good job.

As for my grandma Wuruola, she’s still the same witch as always funny and kind and as for my father, after that Riley’s incident, he and I haven’t talked that much, in fact he’s still upset about me having a romantic fling with Riley; nevertheless, I ignored him and stayed out his way.. Finally, my dreadful sister Rose hasn’t changed a bit… Her love for massacring humans was still intact, but recently as of late she’s been calm unlike before when she was wild like a raged bull.. But That wasn’t the only thing that happened to Rose, With her powers now growing immensely like never before the course decided to appoint her as the members of the council and she was given Aunt Jezebel’s seat at the council table.

A lot of witches thought Rose would use this opportunity and do whatever she wanted now that she’s a member of the council but she proved them wrong.. She doesn’t prey on humans like she did before unless she was ticked off by them. And with her powers, Rose contributed quite a lot for the growth and development of the witch’s world .

I too was offered a seat at the table for various reasons, but I refused it.. I had no interest in becoming one of the council, being a teacher of mystic arts is good enough for me.

One evening as I was in my house, relaxing from the exhausting hours I spent teaching , I was visited by Oliver.. Ever since he became the leader of the witch’s guild, we haven’t seen or talked to each other.. I welcomed him into my house and offered him a seat and drink.

.

Oliver Christen.. How’s my little sister doing?

.

Christen I’m fine Oliver.. How’s your job as leader of the guild?

.

Oliver It’s quite fun but nothing interesting has been going on.. Believe me.. It’s boring out there.

.

Christen Hmph, at least you roam about and see new things.. Me I’m bored right out of my skull.

.

Oliver But I thought you enjoyed teaching?

.

Christen What? Hell no, I’m just doing it to keep myself occupied.

.

Oliver Well, Christen.. You should come out and see the human world.. It’s changed a bit.. It’s not much of a fun, but its better than staying here.

.

Christen Sorry.. I prefer staying here..

.

Oliver Look, I know you’re still upset about what happened between you and Riley.. But don’t you think it’s time to..

.

Christen Oliver! Shut your mouth.. Don’t ever talk to me about this again..

.

Oliver I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to upset you.

.

Christen Good.. So what brings you here?.

.

Oliver What are you talking about? I came here to see you.

.

Christen Really? Then why is Rose outside my house?.

.

Oliver Rose?!

.

In that moment, Rose makes her way into my house, She walks into the room majestically, and calmly unlike before when she usually barges in rudely and laugh cynically… She approaches me, giving me a tight warm hug before sitting next to me.

.

Christen Hey Rose.

.

Rose Little sister.. How’ve missed you. It’s been a while.

.

Christen Yes it has.. So how’s work? Pretty exhausting huh?

.

Rose No.. Its not exhausting but it’s boring.. All the council does in warm our asses and talked about boring stuff.. Oh I miss my old life.. Never a dull moment.

.

Christen So what brings you here?

.

Rose Well, I’m here because of two reasons.. First, i came here to see how you’ve been, cause we haven’t met for some time now and second.. The council has a job for you.

.

Christen Job? What job?

.

Rose A few days ago.. Some kind of dark force was felt in Ibadan and people have been dying ever since.. We don’t know why but also there’s a mystery that seems to elude us…. A number of female students have been missing… We got a report of this from the witch’s guild.. We need to know what’s going on.

.

Christen Why does the council have certain in this things all of a sudden?

.

Rose Does the term genocide sound familiar? Whoever’s behind this is trying to do what Lucas has failed to accomplish.

.

Christen Okay.. But why me?

.

Rose Your powers over nature gives you certain advantage over other witches, you can easily get information about what’s going on..

.

Christen Sorry.. I can’t.. I promised myself not to step a foot on the human world ever again.

.

Rose Well, that’s too bad because this isn’t a request.. Its an order. And you know the rules about refusing a task from the council.

.

Christen Okay, okay.. I’ll go.. So what’s the assignment?.

.

Rose Your job is to get information and find out why the girls are being missing and the mystery behind this death.. So in order to blend into the crowd, I’ve already made arrangements for you to be a lecturer in your old department in Ibadan university .. That’s right.. That’s why you’ll be heading to, Here take this.. Here’s your CV and the key to your car and house.. You don’t need to do anything.. Magic has already done everything.. Any questions?

.

What was I to say? This job wasn’t comfortable for me at all, of all the places I get posted to is my old campus, that’s why I met and left Riley.. This was just too much.. For some reason, something’s telling me to prepare for the unexpected.

.

Rose Any questions, Christen?

.

Christen Nope.. Not at all.

.

Rose Look, I know you don’t like this but don’t worry.. Its not like your human lover is there… It’s been ten years in their world now.. He’s probably married with kids now.

.

Christen Can we stop talking about this please? When can I start?

.

Rose Tomorrow but I suggest you go now and see the house I got for you.. And also if you find anything report it to Oliver understand?.

.

Christen Sure.. So.. Where’s the house located?

.

Rose Here! Hold my hand.

.

I held rose’s hands and we soon teleported to my new place…. It was a nice place really but it was too much for my liking.. The room was furnished with expensive and glittery stuff, who needs that? All this things shone the room like bright light.. Me I prefer a little bit of darkness, too much light makes me feel nauseous.

Rose soon left as she brought me to the place, after she was gone, I made a few changes to the room, with my magic I replaced all this glittery crystals with normal plain ones and the expensive furniture in the room, I also changed them as well..After that, I teleported back to my house in the witch world and gathered some of my stuff and went back to my new place..

After arranging my stuffs, I went to bed.. As I laid down on my bed, my mind began to wonder about what Rose said.. Could Riley be really married? The thought of that maid me jealous.. What kind of woman could he possibly marry? And to think that the b*tch would be also having that kind of treatment I got from Riley and not to forget how good Riley was in bed.. Oh.. I’ve really missed his touch.. It’s been long since I’ve had any intimacy after Riley and I broke up, I haven’t really been with anyone since then.

As I was deep in thought, my mother’s necklace popped into my mind, I sat up instantly and searched my stuff, after minutes of search I finally found it..

After that, I went back to bed holding the necklace in my hands, I couldn’t believe I stashed it away after Riley and I broke up.. In that moment, Solomon appeared before me.

.

Solomon Well, well, well,… Look who decided to bring me out? If it isn’t the little witch b*tch.

.

Christen Hi, Solomon.

.

Solomon Hold your greetings b*tch…

.

Christen Look, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have locked you away.. Please i’m really sorry.

.

Solomon Hmph.. Okay.. Why have you decided to bring out the necklace?

.

Christen I just wanted to have some company… Do you know that I…

.

Solomon I already know that, I’ve seen your disturbed mind the minute you touched the necklace.

.

Christen You’re hard to surprise!..

.

Solomon So are you ready for this?

.

Christen I really don’t know.. Any advice?

.

Solomon Just be calm and go along with it.. What could possibly go wrong? Don’t worry.. I’ll be by your side always.

.

Christen Thanks Solomon.. Now if you don’t mind, I’d like to sleep so I can start early tomorrow.

.

Solomon Sure I understand.. Good night.

.

After Solomon vanished away, I covered myself and slept off.. Later that night as I was sleeping, I had a very unpleasant dream, in the dream, I was holding Riley in my hands crying, his chest was pierced with a knife and the soul taking Altros was hanging above us to take his soul away.. I quickly woke up after that breathing hard, I got out of the bed and ran out of the house running aimlessly straight into one forest close to my house.. I didn’t know who long I was running but I didn’t care.. After a while i stopped close to one tree to catch my breath. I sat down under the tree and began to cry.. I cry so hard that I soaked my face with tears.. What was that dream all about? And why was there a knife in Riley’s chest? Could it be that I was the one that killed him? It can’t be.. It can’t..

In that moment, I sensed something familiar, I stood up and looked around and gasped as I saw where I was.. I was in my favorite place.. The old Iroko tree. I couldn’t believe I was here. I didn’t know when I hugged the tree laughing to myself.. This place was the one place giving me comfort, For centuries this was my place of solace. I completely forgot about this place after that awful spilt with Riley.. Boy am I glad I came to this place.. I climbed the tree and sat on my special place, staring high up in the sky, the cold night wind ran through my hair.. Oh how I loved this feeling.. I sat on that tree branch all night enjoying my moment of peace and solace for the first time in 10 years.

Hours later, the sun rose up shimmering its bright sunny rays on the city of Ibadan, Soon, the birds started chipping and soon the city was filled with sound and noises of people and vehicles. An hour later, I realized that the time for my new job so I quickly walked back to my new house and got myself prepared.

After a while, I got ready and left the house and went to my place of work, I realized I wasn’t far from the Iroko tree and also not far from Riley’s parents house. I thought to myself that this would be an opportunity for me to check him out but Solomon reminded me of the consequences, so I decided against that.

Soon, I was out on the street, I stood on the road for some time but there was no taxi besides this side of the road, there is no building or people just forest. So seeing that I would waste time here, I decided to walk until I found a taxi.

Minutes later, I got to a crowded place, though I don’t like crowds its sure nice to see the people of Ibadan for a change. It was sure nice to see how the place changed, what caught my attention was the way the forests were well taken care of, they were well trimmed and cared of, this made Ibadan look like a tourist side making it look outstanding. As I was walking on the road, I couldn’t help but notice I was being stared at, it was as if I was some kind of alien.. I immediately felt annoyed by this, i wonder what they’re looking at… If only a taxi would show up. In that moment, I realized that Rose had bought a car for me.. I was so in a hurry I forgot all about it.. In that moment, I summoned my long time demonic servant, Ovarkt.

This time around, I don’t need to say a magic word or find a safe place to summon him, over this past year my magic too was greatly improved and my power too was growing quite immensely, so this time I could summon Ovarkt with a thought.

Immediately I summoned him, Ovarkt appeared before me.

.

Ovarkt Oh… Its so good to see you, Mistress.. It’s been long.

.

Christen Stop that, fool. It’s only been a week since I summoned you.

.

Ovarkt So what can i do for you?

.

Christen I want you to go to my house and bring out my car.. The key is in my room. Find some one and possess him so I can give you the key to my house.

.

Ovarkt Sure.. Hmm, I’ve found just the person.

.

Ovarkt found one man on the side of the road and possessed his body.. After that, I gave him the key and he ran quickly back home.. I had to wait on the side of the road for him to bring me the car, whilst I was doing that, I saw a small boy close to me, staring at me, he looked like those orphaned kids, but he was also kind of cute. So I checked my purse and gave him a thousand naira note.. The boy smiled and thanked me.. Soon, a black car parked in front of me, Ovarkt came out and left the man’s body.. I couldn’t believe Rose bought me a ford jeep, the latest one in fact, If I had known I would have changed the car as well…

So I got into the car and drove off,…. Minutes later I got to the campus.. I was surprised to see it had changed as well. I soon got to the Art and humanities department, I parked my car at the lecturers parking lot and came out of the car, as I made my way to the history department, I was being stared at by the students, some things don’t really change.. It was the same when I started as a fresher.

Some of the students started gossiping about me, some said some unpleasant words, while some said crazy things.. These bastards were sure lucky that their lecturers weren’t witches like me cause they would have been carrying over their courses a hundred times over.

As soon as I got to the history department, I made my way to the administrators office..as I got there, I was received by a one of the staffs.

.

Amelia Hi, are you Mrs. Christen?

.

Christen Why yes..

.

Amelia Oh I’m Mrs. Amelia, the Faculty’s exam officer.. We’ve been expecting you.. Please follow me.

.

After that, Mrs. Amelia led me to one of the professors office, as I we got there, she asked me to wait outside.

As I waited outside, I saw a plaque on the door which said Prof. Riley, I was dazed when I saw that, Could it be….? Nah.. It couldn’t be..

Soon, Mrs. Amelia called me in to meet the Professor.. I took a deep breath and went in, the Professor was busy with his coffee when I got in, he didn’t even notice me, it was Mrs. Amelia that notified him. The moment, the Professor looked at me.. I felt a jolting shock down my spine.. I couldn’t believe it.. It was Riley, it was him all right but he looked a bit older, but what bothered me was, Why was he staring at me like that?
