Chapter 13
It’s twenty-one days to the full moon, I don’t have much time,” I thought to myself as we all went back home.
~Greeta’s POV~
“We’ve come too far to go back now,” Eric said
“Alright, let’s wait here” Greeta replied
“Just wait till I get my hands on her, I will make her pay for everything you did to me aunt. I will make sure she suffers and feels every bit of the pain you caused me” Greeta thought to herself as she stared at Eric and his men.
“Fools, I will use them to get my revenge,” she said to herself
~past~
Greeta was a little child when she found out she was a witch. She began to use her powers at an early age, unlike Karen and Irene who started using their powers when they got older. Greeta’s mother was the only surviving sibling of Karen’s mother. They were both not on good terms. They argued a lot that it affected their children. They didn’t let them get close to each other.
A few years later, Greeta’s mother got sick and died. Now Greeta starts to stay with Karen and her family because they were the only relation she had.
At first, she didn’t welcome her but later on, she began to see her as her child. But on the other side, Greeta blamed her for all her misfortune and swore to revenge for her mother’s death.
Years went by as the children grew up loving each other but along the line, Karen’s mother noticed something different about Greeta. She sometimes stayed alone and lock herself up in a room. One day, Karen’s mother found out that she was practicing black magic. She confronted her but Greeta didn’t take it well so she let out her anger, and the grudge she had in her heart ever since she was born. Karen’s mother was shocked to hear this from Greeta. She tried to explain why she was not on good terms with her mother but Greeta stumped out of the room.
“Greeta! Greeta!” Karen’s mother called out but before she could get to Greeta, she had already disappeared.
She searched for greeta but couldn’t find her. After a while she gave.
Greeta wandered in the woods for days, all she could eat were fruits she found. As she wondered in the woods, unfortunately for her, she was surrounded by wolves. She wanted to chant a spell when she saw a young man walking toward her. Before she could chant, or spell, she was hit by one of the wolves with a wood at the back of her head and she fell unconscious.
Waking up, she found herself in a dungeon. She tried to get out but she couldn’t, she tried to chant a spell but no way. Finally, a man walked up to her, it was the same man she saw in the woods.
“Let me out” she cried out
“Not yet” the man replied.
“What is your name? ” he asked her
“Greeta” she answered
“Well, I realized that you are a witch but just to let you know, as long as you are in here, you are powerless. This place neutralizes your power. So don’t bother trying to escape” she said as he walked out.
Greeta cried out for help for days but didn’t get one. All she got every day was a plate of food each day. Finally, she quit and accepted her faith. The hatred for Karen’s mother grew stronger in her heart. She caused and blamed her for everything she was passing through.
Years went by and Eric finally remembered her or let’s say needed her help. She then thought of this as an opportunity to take revenge on her aunt.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Now there’s no stopping her. She will make sure to wipe out their bloodline from the surface of the earth.
“At least Karen and Irene are out of the way, it’s going to be easy to take out the girl.” She thought to herself not knowing that Rhea wasn’t the only surviving bloodline of her aunt.
~Derrick’s POV~
Getting home, I asked one of my men to show them to their rooms so they can freshen up and have something to eat.
Willow! I called out
He came closer and I asked him to follow me to my chamber.
“What do we do now?” I asked
“I think we have to make a plan first. They are here already and Jaden has 21 days left. And come to think of it, keeping them safe should be your top priority right now.” Willow answered
“You are right. For now, I think the revenge plan should be on hold till we make sure that they are safe. ” I admitted
“Alright, go tell them to prepare something to eat and cloth to change into for my children” I ordered
~Rhea’s POV~
Lucy and I were asked to stay in the same room. Soon after a lady came in and prepared a bath for us and she brought some new clothes for us.
“Your father asked that you come down and have dinner with him after you are done freshening up,” she said
“Okay” I replied
“And let me know if you need anything ” she added
“Okay” I answered as she left the room
“So this is where he has been all these years,” Lucy said
“Who?” I asked confused
“Who else would I be talking about if not our father?” She asked.
“Oh, okay,” I replied uneasily
“Hey, what’s wrong?” Lucy asked
“Nothing really, I just wished I met our mother. I wonder what it will be like to have her around or what it would be like to have a complete family.” I said sadly
“I know, but look at the bright side, we got to meet each other and got to meet our father. At least that is something we should be happy about.” Lucy said
“Alright, let’s go take a shower,” I said as we both made our way to the bathroom.
We went down to meet our father as soon as we were done. And we found him already seated, waiting for us. We joined and we all ate in silence.
“Rhea, someone is coming after you. Be careful, stick to your father and siblings at all times” a voice said to me.
“Did you hear that?” I asked
