Chapter 17

Bella's p.o.v

"I got marred off in no time and left my father's house, after a year i was so happy with the rich life that i forgot about mother, later i heard that lady cecil had a son and father treated her like a queen since he now had an heir, mother suffered worse than she ever did, even though i was a bit bothered by that i didn't care much about it, i focused on being happy with my life and practiced dark magic, after three years of being married to what seemed like a perfect marriage i opened up to my husband the lord and confessed about my origin as a witch, i even showed him some magic tricks for him to believe and understand, he was so interested to know who taught me so i told him it was my birth mother the servant, he took it well and we continued with our normal love and happy marriage, little did i know that the lord was plotting with lady cecil against me, one day some men broke into my mansion and dragged me here were i found mother chained as you saw, most town men who were present, were supernaturals that were against dark magic, even my own husband the one i had trusted was a part of them, they told me i was to be punished for practicing dark magic, i tried using my magic on them but i was bended by Yevone, Michael came to rescue me sadly he too was bended, my mother was killed in front of my eyes and later father who tried to stop them was killed too, then when i was about to be killed, Michael took the poisonous sword for me which was deadly to all beings" she said sadly.

"So the death i witnessed was similar to what you witnessed, but the life i lived with Michael and mother wasn't yours right?" I asked trying to understand fully.

"Yes, when Michael died for me that's when i opened my eyes to who truly loved me, i was filled with rage that i murdered a lot of people that night, only a few like Yevone escaped, my heart was filled with bitter tears and regrets, i later decided to do a forbidden dark magic spell in order to bring back Michael, sadly the price for forbidden dark magic was a living soul, i sacrificed my soul for his, i died while he got a second chance to live, when he resurrected he blamed himself for my death and cried for me, my body was dead but my spirit wasn't, i watched over him for centuries, he drunk his sorrows and slept around to fill the hurt and void he felt, sadly it was of no use, until he met you, the exact look alike of me, i knew the gods were kind to me and it was time for my spirit to rest, but i wanted to do that after seeing him happy, then you got attacked and he selflessly sacrificed his life again, i knew i had to intervene because he was slowly dying so i entered your body to save him and took you in my past so you could see what he went through, i made a stupid mistake that i don't want you to repeat, as of now you will go back to the present, my gift to you is, you will have all the memories of the past you have, now that my soul is ready to go i hope you will consider and make Michael happy" she said as i felt like I'm being pulled away.

I blinked slowly as i opened my eyes.

"Bella" a female voice whispered.

I rubbed my eyes then looked at her.

"Mother she is awake" Liz my sister screamed happily, i heard loud footstep then the door opened.

Mother and father quickly approached me and sat on each side of my bed with smiles.

"Oh my baby girl, you are finally awake" she whispered.

"Mother" i whispered back lowly.

"Liz go and get her some water" she instructed as Liz quickly went downstairs.

"Baby you scared us, thank God you are awake" dad said while brushing my hair.

I looked around carefully, i was back in my bedroom, Liz walked in with a glass of water, mother carefully helped me sit upright as Liz handed me the glass of water, i drunk slowly and then gave it back to her.

"Mother what happened?" I asked lowly.

"You don't remember?" She asked as i shock my head.

"You were attacked by some thugs, they almost killed you, the one who found you and rushed you to the clinic was your friend, he later called us, we quickly came here, luckily the doctor who was attending to you is an old friend of ours, we talked to him and he agreed for us to take you home, honey you have been unconscious for two weeks" she answered.

I looked at her feeling confused.

"We were worried you would take long to wake up, so i cast a spell in helping you recover, if it wasn't for that spell you could have taken more than a month to wake up and heal" she said.

Two weeks? Then Andy would......... Andy.

"Where's Andy!?" I screamed.

"Honey relax, that kind young man said you run a cafe together so his working and he usually passes by everyday despite being tired, he sure is a great kid" father answered.

I quickly stood up on wobbling legs.

"Careful" Liz said as she held my hand.

"Take me to him, now!" I screamed as they all looked at me then at each other.

"But honey that's when you have woken up" father said.

"Please dad, I'm begging you" i whispered.

"Okay" he answered.

He stood up and lifted me up in bridal style.

"Liz go and start the car, you are driving your sister" he said.

Liz quickly went downstairs with us as mother followed, we went outside and found Liz had already started the car, Liz opened the door from inside, dad put me in and closed the door as Liz quickly drove off.

I opened the car door and rushed out almost falling when we reached the cafe, i opened the cafe door and froze when Andy looked at me from the counter.

"Bella" he whispered.

I ran to him as he met me half way, he quickly embraced me while i cried.

"You died, you died" i cried loudly ignoring the customers who were looking at us like crazy.

"I didn't, i was just weak all i needed was a little drink and feeding" he said as i pulled back, and smiled.

"I'm back now Andy and this time all who dared to hurt us will pay with blood" i whispered.
