Marcia’s Pov:
I walked into the sitting room and met the pretty woman – Tabitha – arranging some clothes in a basket.
Over the days, she’s been so nice to me and told me laundry was her source of making a living.
“Good morning ma’am” I greeted with a smile as I got to where she was.
“Marcia” she beamed.
“You’re awake. How was your night dear?”
“It was fine. Thanks”.
I looked at rhe basket of neat clothes.
“Going for..deliveries?” I asked.
“Yeah, I’m done washing and drying them and need to return them to it’s owner.” She replied and I nod.
“Tabitha” I called.
“Why are alone? Don’t you have a family?”
Her countenance suddenly changed as she paused what she was doing and stared downwards.
“Actually…I did have a family. But…things changed and we got separated. I lost them.” She replied sadly.
Oh! I thought.
Quite a…tragic?
“I’m…I’m sorry” I said and she smiled.
“You don’t have to be. By the way, when will you be returning home? Don’t you think they should be worried about you already?” She asked and I sighed.
“I…I’ll be leaving soon” I lied.
Well, I couldn’t help but lie.
I mean, I felt so scared going home. What would mother reactions be?
And to be sincere, I couldn’t accomplish the mission – no, I couldn’t. I don’t have the nerves to kill the black angels. And I really don’t know how to go about it.
“Okay. I think I’ll be on my way now. I made breakfast already. So you can have some and rest” she said as she lifted the basket of clothes.
“Okay..bye” I waved at her and she left.

Mishael’s Pov:
I woke up from my long nap and left the room, going to check up on Gera.
Luckily, I found him in the sitting room..
“Hey bro” he called out to me and focused his eyes on the tele.
“Gera, where the hell did you say Phin went?” It’s been days now. I need him so he can perform the tracking spell on Javan and know where he is!!” I stated angrily.
“Please, Mishael. Calm down. I…I don’t really know where he went. But I’m pretty sure he’ll be back.” He said tiredly.
“You’ve been telling me these for the past few days. Do you even know what Javan might doing to Olivia??” I roared.
“Well, he’s definitely not hurting her. Cause if he was, you’d have been feeling the pains, right? At least, we know she’s safe for now. Don’t worry, Phin will be home soon.” He replied and I scoffed angrily and turned around.
I felt so angry and confused. I mean, I couldn’t feel normal knowing my other half was with that animal. What if he tries to hurt her??? Or use her against me?
I couldn’t explain it, but I just felt incomplete without her and needed to
get her back.

Phin’s Pov:
I walked tiredly on the street. Gosh! I was so devastated already.
I’ve been following the scent of the blood for days now, but its so difficult and with the way it looks, I think I’m still very far away from finding Mishael’s mum.
The blood’s already drying up and the trail I’m getting from it now was very thin and faint.
Gosh! I was so tired.
Maybe, I should just go home. Its possible she isn’t alive and that’s the reason it’s been difficult finding her.
I stopped walking and took in a deep breath, remaining that way for a long time. Then, I turned around and mistakenly bumped into a young woman.
Sh*t, Phin!
She was holding a basket of clothes and they all fell on the floor.
“Oh!” She grumbled.
