The Triangle

Chapter 12: Truth Revealed

(Janet's POV)
November 24, 2025

My father tried hard to open the door but he couldn't. He looked at me and said, “you shouldn't be here Janet. You shouldn't have known all these.”

“But now I know. Your daughter is standing in front of you and you are saying that I should not be here.” I said firmly. He came closer to me, tears started to form in his eyes and he said in a quivering voice, “daughter. Yes, you are. You are my daughter.” He paused for a moment and then asked, “do you know everything?”

“Almost everything, rest you will tell me,” I said and gave Jeremy's journal to him. He saw the torn pages and sighed.

“Will you tell me everything, father? Can I call you father? I know it's weird, but you are my father anyway so…” I said, looking at him impatiently waiting for his response.

“You can call me anything you want. I'm the worst father anyway.” He said and chuckled bitterly and I felt a little bad for him.

“Don't say that. I just…I just want to know everything.” I said. He nodded and started speaking, “Milton family has a very tragic history of supernatural beings and you are one of them. Your mother was the most wonderful person I have ever met. I met her when I was a university student and I did not know that she is a witch. She was afraid that if I came to know her reality, I would hate her. The day I found out she is a witch, she burst into tears and asked me 'will you still love me?' and I simply said 'marry me.' She was shocked but happy. It never mattered to me that she was not a human. After two years marriage, she became pregnant. One day, I saw her crying while tearing a few pages from a journal. I quickly went to her and asked her what was the matter and then she told me about the gift.”

“Gift?” I asked.

“Yes, a gift. A gift for psychic witches that if another witch kills them, they can make one last wish to the universe before they die and no one can stop that wish from coming true. Cassandra being a psychic witch used it wisely and made it a curse for us. Unfortunately, Katherine didn't know anything about it and when Katherine stabbed her, her last words were ‘I Cassandra wish to the universe that I will return when the first psychic witch is born in your family.’ and she died after that.” Father said.

He sighed and said, “Janet, you are a psychic witch, and that means Cassandra is back too. That's why we kept your identity a secret so that Cassandra never finds out about you.”

“She is back and I have met her.” I told them everything. About everything and everyone I have met till date. But I didn't tell them about Jeremy's spirit.

“Oh my god! You have already met her! Janet stay away from her. She can harm you.” he said, scared.

“Don't worry father, even if she finds out my real identity, she can't do anything. I am also a witch and I am strong enough to defeat her. Trust me.” I am not good at convincing people, yet I tried and he slowly nodded in agreement as he had no choice left.

“So this is not reincarnation?” I asked him.

“No, actually she has returned from the Spell World. Your mother once told me that there is another world for witches and that is the Spell World. After dying every witch has to live there for years and then their souls either take a second birth or get salvation.” he said.

I asked him about my birthmark. He saw the triangular mark on my neck and said, “It is because of the link. The weapon that killed Cassandra was made by joining the souls of three people and since Katherine was Cassandra's killer, you have this mark.” I was now slowly understanding the matter. Since Katherine linked herself to Dr. Branson and Mr. Cruz, their generations have been suffering. That is why she chose Jeremy! It means we are the chosen ones, chosen by Cassandra. But who is carrying the blood of Mr Cruz? Could it be Professor Morgan! He must be the doppelganger. Now it is clear, that is why she killed him. A doppelganger that is Professor Morgan, a pure soul that is Jeremy and a psychic witch that is me. It means I am the last pawn in her bloody game. If I die, she will get what she wants. She will become immortal and make this world a living hell. I was thinking this when dad gently shook my shoulder saying, “Janet” and I came out of my thoughts.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“Yeah I'm okay.” I said.

***************
It's been two weeks since I met my father. Although we met every day during lectures, it was only as a student and a teacher. I promised him that I would not tell anyone about him because I didn't want him to be in any danger as I had already lost my biological mother and didn't want to lose my father now. I started studying more about witches and their supernatural abilities. I read all the books that my father gave me. He gave me books that had all the information about witches and spells. I started looking up things about our world. He told me that my mother used to read all those books and many of them were written by our ancestors. I started feeling stronger, my magic, my abilities, everything was getting stronger.

One night, I was reading a book that gave every detail about the Spell World. I was surprised to learn that this Spell World is not just inhabited by the spirits of witches, but sometimes even by human souls. It was written that if a human is killed by a witch, their soul is trapped in this world. This means that Jeremy and Professor Morgan are trapped in the Spell World!
