Chapter 95 - Ninety-five : Order Must Be Restored.

"

Lia stretched her body, before shielding her eyes with the back of her hand against the hot bright afternoon sun shinning through her window.

Her other hand unconsciously reached for the other side of the bed, it was empty. As she thought, Asher must have left.

Lia let out a lazy groan before climbing off her bed - she just had the best sleep ever. Asher was right, she felt invigorated and ready to run a marathon.

But the window suddenly caught her attention, it seems Sabrina has done her Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo cause the once shattered window was as good as new .

Without wasting time, she checked on her mom who was still sleeping .Though still a bit doubtful , but she was relieved to discover Sabrina had dropped a note explaining her mom would be up in no time; just the symptom of a common sleeping spell.

With nothing left to do, Lia decided to have a little walk before the imps called her brothers returns home.

Thanks to the whole supernatural dramas , she has not had time to get a good tour of her neighbourhood.

So she began to wander about her street aimlessly until something caught her attention.

Lia saw a woman with grey hair, obviously stricken with age and pulling a wooden wagon loaded with hay .

What the f*ck! she cursed out loud. Who in the world let this granny that couldn't even take a step without shaking carry such a load?

Angry and irritated , she rushed towards the woman and posted a friendly smile saying,

" Let me help you grandma "

"Oh " The woman gasped and let go of the wagon appreciatively and Lia took over her place.

"What a nice child" She complimented, a smile tugging her wrinkled face.

"Where do you live? " Lia asked beginning to push the wagon that surprisingly didn't weigh as much as she thought.

"Just across the street my child " The Old Woman replied and pointed Lia to her destination.

"Forgive me for prying but don't you have kids? sons? daughters? grandchildren or even neighbors who could help you with this?" queried Lia who still couldn't come to terms on why she was doing this in the first place.

" No one.They're all gone " she answered with a solemn voice

"Gone? As in, left for the city or what? "

"They're just gone ! " The Old Woman snapped at Lia, her eyes blazing with a weird colour which she failed to capture.

Lia bit the inside of her lips, maybe she had gone a little too far this time.

" I'm sorry for being too nosy " She apologized and continued her journey.

This time she didn't dare to raise a question carelessly but made small talks which the granny surprisingly didn't object to and gladly obliged her until they reached their destination.

"This is the place?" Lia asked slightly confused as she stared at the simple hut built with mud bricks and thatched roof.

She had to wipe her eyes twice with the back of her hand to confirm she was really seeing right.

It was quite obvious that such traditional mud house was a primitive technology found in rural areas.So how did one replace its way in a bustling town like little Town?

" You live alone here? " Lia asked concerned over the woman's health. This hut was nothing like the modern houses, it just had two windows and a single door. Infact this was ridiculous.

"Here, let me see this " The Old Woman said to her stretching forth her hand.

Lia stared at her confused " What? "

"Let me see your hand young one. I am a palm reader, so I can tell you a thing or two about your future " She explained but Lia simply laughed it off.

"This is ridiculous " She laughed, tucking a stray lock of hair away from her face. "I don't believe in such "

"Try me " She urged the girl who reluctantly placed her hand on hers.

"Very well then, let's see " The Old Woman mumbled , eyes fixed on her hand as she studied the lines engraved in her palm.

Suddenly, she felt the woman stiffen and glanced up at her in concern only to have their eyes connect and hold .

" Why do you have two mates ? "

Lia froze. Eyes wide and mouth agape

"Don't you know it's a curse? " The old woman continued jerking Lia back to reality.

Lia at once tried to withdraw her hands but she couldn't, the once fragile old woman who looked like she would be blown away by the wind was now incredibly strong.

"One has to die " She announced and this time, Lia was suddenly tongue-tied. How did she know about....

" Let me go !" She screamed struggling to release her hand all to no avail. The woman was like an impregnable wall, there was nothing she could do to shake her off - even her strength combined.

" One has to die ! Order must be restored " The old lady chanted and soon, her whole eyes turned pitch black scaring the wits out of Lia.

Lia couldn't look away no matter how much she tried, the woman's eyes was like an endless pit and it was swallowing her whole .

Suddenly the whole scene began to contort and change while she was gradually being sucked into that deep abyss and the words 'One must die ! order must be restored!' playing in a loop in her mind.

"

Lia woke up with a start and a loud scream

"No! ".

She was breathing heavily and sweating profusely. What kind of dream was that ? It was so scary yet so vivid, she almost thought it was real.

Sudden her line of sight fell on the window, it was as good as new just as it was in her dream.

What the fuck.

A sudden yet unknown fear suddenly grabbed her, wrapping its gruesome claws around her mind.

Was this a sign?

Was she going to lose one of her mates?

Though she tried to ignore and deny it but the contents of the dream was too eerie to be ignored.

Was the universe even against her?
