Oh, it's OK

This is what it feels like

Now this is how life strikes

And this is what it feels like

To be alive

"We hunt the ground for empathy, we hate the way you hide from us. We've been ordered to destroy you and we won't leave until we do," The five of them says in sync, makes me remember Ari and Brie.

Okay, this is a bit crazy. The sisters showing up here.

"Nice cloak Ladies but we ain't moving one inch," The fierce Latina stands her ground. How I just love Jessica.

The sisters stands beside each other tilting their heads to the right, I guess what Jessica said struck a nerve. Their faces are not visible, even in my speed trip to the past, I couldn't see their faces, and I don't care what they look like naked, all I want to know is why they are after me.

Damien takes my hand in his and pulls me to his side while Roman, Nate and Jessica assembly infront of us.

"We have no business with you Sage, move or die," They threaten, it sounds more promising with five different but yet the same voice.

"You wanna get to Camille? You are gonna have to go through us first," Nate warns in a serious tone, his deep accent makes me feel better.

"Have it your way," They say and holds hands, they look up to the sky and starts whispering somethings. The sky starts changing, lightning follow by thunder rumbling.

"What the hell?" I hear Nate say.

My grip on Damien's hand loosen, they want me and me they shall have. I push pass the guys and approach the sisters, I can hear Jessica calling me back. I don't want them to get hurt because of me, I have always lived in fear and it's time I stop running and start fighting back.

"You want me?" I call out to get their attention, they release hands and face me, that's when I realize that everything about them is darkness, hence their names.

"Come, come, come to us," Am not sure if it's a whisper or a telepathic message.

I sigh and start walking towards them slowly. "The hell?" A roar from Jessica. "Cami! Come back here," Her voice seems louder almost like she's near me.

The sisters tilt their heads to side again, doing something, I don't know until I hear a groan behind me, I turn back to see Nate, Jessica and Roman groaning on the floor holding their necks, trying to breathe.

"Let them go now!" I yell at the Sisters but they raise their hands and face me. "Am in trouble," I whisper and look back to see the others still in pain.

I feel so helpless and angry. Wait a second where is Damien?

"Damien, son of Dean!" I face them when I hear their voices, I notice Damien standing in front of me. I did not know when he got there. My eyes dim in fear as they move their focus on Damien.

Damien nods. "Yes, that Damien," He says with his hands still in his pocket, he seems to know about them because he is acting like he doesn't care about them, almost like he is not afraid of them.

There is focus is all on Damien now, I take off and run to my friends who are still having a hard time breathing. I knee infront of Jessica and hold her in my arms, I tuck the loose strands of her hair behind her ear, it's like they are being suffocated by the sisters.

"Good to see you again Sisters," A familiar voice says behind the sisters. I turn my head at the same time the sisters did to see Dean standing in a suit. At the same time Nate, Roman and Jessica take a sharp breath and cough. Jessica removes her hand from her neck and look at me.

"Am fine, am fine," She manages to say .

"Dean Wallace!" The sisters chorus. I kiss Jessica on her forehead, silently telling her that I'll be back, I run to meet Damien.

"Yes, Dean Wallace. You mess with the wrong crowds sisters and worse you mess with my kid, so am gonna send you to the place you came from and am gonna enjoy doing it," Dean really sounds convincing with his new confidence tone, don't get me wrong Dean is an amazing fighter but he once told me that he wasn't a warlock. He the hell is he going to defeat them if he doesn't have powers.

"You won't!"

Dean take a sharp breath and extend his hands forward, his eyes change color from blue to white. "Blood of my blood, flesh of my flesh, I call forth she El-Di Hipsodat. I, El-Gar-El opens the door for you Dil Gil Lil Sil Zil," He bend his hand and spread it as he chant the incantation.

Something weird becomes visible at his spread hands, it's a burning pentagram sign. A portal opens in front of Dean and suck the sisters in.

Their screams is the last thing I hear. Dean sighs in relief when the portal closes. He raises his head to meet my gaze with a glare.

"Damien, Camille. You have some explanation to do," He says and sigh.

Dean just opened a portal to 'who knows where' with his hands, and he said he wasn't a warlock. I know better than to start asking questions now.

We help each other to the car, Dean offers to drive back. I cannot believe I wastes today, at least I know my parents are still alive. My mind is collapsing and I don't know what to do.

Why is everything happening now? I don't have answers to my questions, people that I feel can give them to me aren't helping. Why did my parents think am dead? Why did they change their name? Why did they sell the house and most importantly why the hell did the Sisters of the Dark try to kill me?

They work for Sabine's Dad, who was a High Lord for witches, am not even a full witch. Even if I was, George is gone with The Town Vale.

Maybe am being paranoid but everything is connected, I know someone wanted me here, or someone knew I was coming for my parents.

There is someone out there trying to kill me, and there is someone in The Vale watching me, am not safe anyway, no one close to me is safe, I need something- someone I can trust but it's hard to put my trust in someone when I don't know what they know.

Why me? Why now? So much questions unanswered.

We arrive at school hours later, the car ride back was too silent and boring. Dean park the car at school garage and kills the engine.

"Nate, Jessica and Roman, go get some rest, we'll discuss your detention first thing tomorrow morning. Damien, Camille my office."

★†★

"How do you even know where we were?" I ask curiously.

"Roman told me, you don't think I'd let four sixteen years old go on a road trip alone," He scoffs and glares at me. "What were you thinking? You could have been hurt, worse you could have been killed," Needless to say he isn't happy.

I scoff. "We are still alive, thanks Roman and his big mouth," I give him a fake smile. Am hungry and so exhausted, I barely slept last night because I was anxious to go on a trip with Damien.

Dean slams his hands on his desk. "Am serious, you don't just make decisions on your own and go joyriding with your friends," He complains.

"It was meant to be Damien and I only," I try to explain, I look over to Damien, he is sitting quietly on the small sofa in his Dad's office, looking impossibly calm.

Dean sighs and turns to Damien. "You stay away from her-" I cut him off before he finishes the sentence.

"You can't just tell him to stay away from me when he is the only one willing to help me," I am having a hard time keeping my anger at Bay. Who the hell does he think he is? Telling Damien to stay away from me.

"Help you? Camille! You are fine, you don't need any help," He tells me.

"Don't do that, don't do that. Stop pretending like everything is okay, you know thing are not okay. My parents are out there somewhere, everyone else thinks am dead, and there is my new found powers, my tattoo and the sword, I can't even concentrate on my school work because am too busy figuring myself ou-" I scream as the familiar burn stings my body.

"Camille, are you okay?" Dean asks in concern.

I can feel my whole body on fire, I raise my head up and scream really loud. "Cami-" Damien cut his Dad off.

"Watch, Father."

"Watch? Can't you see she's in pain," Dean yells at Damien.

"Watch."

I can feel the markings craving themselves on my skin, it's burns to my bone, when the burn reaches my palm, I feel it clutching something. I look down to see the sword forming on my hand.

My mouth drops open as the pain reduces as the sword form, I barely feel anything when the whole sword is on my hand. "You are back," I whisper. "Can anyone tell me what fuck is going on?" I ask staring at Dean and Damien, they don't look surprised.

"The Elsword is a primordial which is specifically designed for El-Laura-El, it allows her to physically embrace her power, it like an amplifier. The Elsword is bonded with El-Laura-El, which allows her to do whatever she wants like split it into two. Nothing stands in it way, no power on earth can stop it except the person wielding it. The main function is the ability to kill anything it comes across. The Elsword, also known as The Sword Of Death, an umbra weapons."

I blink my eyes at Dean's explanation. "So much on just a sword, how do you so much about it?" I ask curiously without taking my eyes off my hand since the sword vanished like it did the first time.

"Because I knew the previously owner," He answers.

The previously owner?

I nod and shake my head when I realize that I have no idea what he's talking about. "The previous owner, didn't you say it was design specifically for The El Princess?"

He nods and share a weird look with Damien. "What's the look for?"

"It designed specifically for The El Princess but anyone with her blood causing through their vein can wield it," He explains.

"Agreed but why is the sword drawn to me?" I ask.

I need to ask because my parents; Corinne and Richard are one hundred percent human being from Earth, I have no alien aunt or uncle. They better check their story well before telling me shit.

"Because you are-" The door of his office is suddenly yank open, revealing Professor Holme.

Of course it has to be him, the romance novelist. A Professor in Chemistry, a warlock and a Romance novelist, it doesn't add up, something is missing.

"Bad timing?" He asks.

I roll my eyes and want to say of course but Dean beat me to it. "Of course not, come in. We'll continue this later Cami," He promise.

I nod and walk out of his office and stand beside the door to wait for Damien.

I cross my arm over my chest and tap my feet on the floor as I wait for him impatiently. I push myself off the wall when he opens the door.

"Hey," I give him a small smile.

"What do you want?" Am not hurt by the tone he decided to use. Damien is a difficult guy to read and understand.

I shake my head. "Nothing."

"Good day," He turns his heel and start wait but stops when I talk.

"So you are going to stay away from me because your Dad asked you too?" More like a question than a statement.

"No!"

I smile. "Good because I want to find my parents next," I inform him.

"They obviously don't want to be found," He says nonchantly and continue walking away.

"You don't believe that," I say and walk after him. My hand wrap around his wrist and stop infront of him. "Don't walk away from me, everyone is walking away from me, not you too," I plead with him.

He yanks his hand away from my hold and glares at me. "Your friends will walk through fire for you, I don't get why you don't understand that. Stop being ungrateful- complaining about your problems, everyone has their own shit to deal with not just you," He scolds.

I did not expect him to say that, I know Roman asked him to stay away from me, his Dad too, I understand that my situation is difficult but I didn't force him to help me.

"You promised to help me," I remind him in a very low tone, am seconds away from tearing up.

He closes his eyes and shake his head. "I never said I won't help you," He fires back.

Wow!

"Don't bother, I'll find them myself, excuse me," I say and turn my heel- walk away from him.

★†★

My life is officially over. Am dead to everyone else, my parents are missing or they don't want to be found like Damien said. Roman is insane and currently behaving like a douchebag. Damien is just Damien, I don't know why he is affecting me. It's like I can't breathe well knowing he is mad at me.

Two figure suddenly slides into the sit in front of me. "Am trying to be alone, if you haven't noticed," I say without raising my head. The school dinning hall is less crowded today, every one is preparing for mid term.

"We can help you find your parents, Camille," Brie and Ari offer at the same time.

I raise my eyebrows in question. "How did you know?" Am not in the mood for games today especially now.

They shrug. "We are Gemini, we know everything," They answer. Am sick and tired of hearing different voices saying the same thing, it's too confusing.

I scrunch my nose. "Good. Am listening," I answer. This better be worth my time because am going to personally shut them up.

"We can do a location spell for you, when do you want us to do it?"

Are they for real. "Now! Let's do it now," I say in haste.

★†★

The three of us settle in their room. I asked them to use their room because Jessica is sleeping in our room and I don't to explain anything to her because I know she'll want to know.

We sit in circles and our hands are locked, a globe is sitting between us.

"Veres say locos Richard Starling," We chant at the same time. The globes turns really fast until it stop and glows at a particular region.

"You found your parents, what are you going to do?" They ask when the circle is broken.

"Nothing," I lie.

Of course am going after them. Bloody wankers can't even stay near, they went to Australia.
