[ Cebo]

" not so long ago my dad walked in the house all bruised up, hurt with burnt marks on her arms and in pain ...  but you had no scratch or any signs that you were hurt yet you were with him...it did not end there you had to play with his emotion that he resorted in firing a gun due to anger and when I thought everything will get back to normal you decided to ship him to another province and you calling me now and telling me that there was an accident! are you hurt or perhaps injured? I guess not! Why do I feel like YOU coming to our life was more of a curse than a blessing... So listen to me and listen to me I want my father back home ALIVE because if that does not happen oh help me God I will kill you MYSELF!!! "

He dropped the call on my ear and I just sank down crying, the anger...the hatred in Omnia's voice made me realize that this was all my fault.

Sfiso being in the hospital, Alex almost dying, my mother in hospital...this was all my fault, I was the one that was supposed to marry the devil and start an unground empire with him but running away from my destiny and fate caused everybody to die,

The covenant, innocent people ... This started with me but everyone died got hurt...except me.

I stood by Sfiso's door I looked at him his condition was still the same, I'm not sure if I'm angry at God or at myself for dragging him to this mass I call my life.

" Cebo... Cebo! Ooh thank God I found you "
It was Nkosi
Me: what wrong is Alex o'right "
" he is fine but I don't know if you know this but Austin is taking him to a private hospital in Durban "
Me: what? "
I started running to the casualty ward I found Austin filling some forms  in Alex room,

Me: the nurse told me you leaving?"
" I was going to say goodbye," Alex said
Me: what? ...where you going ?"
Him: Austin is taking me to another Hospital in Durban "
Me: what? ...but why? "
Him:  I will keep in touch Cebo I'm just province away "
Me: I just found you ..." I try to hold my tears back but they rolled down my cheeks
Him: will still chat maybe visit ...
Austin: excuse me... it's time to go"
Alex gave me peace of paper it had his contact number
Him: call me "
I nodded I looked at Austin

Me: Austin may I have a word with you "
He looked at me and we stepped out of the room
Me: I know this was not a conventional way to meet for the first time ...but I'm begging you may I please have a relationship with my son "
Him: we do not have an open adoption plan, Alex is young and this arrangement will only be a setback in his life can't you see he has been through a lot?"
Me: I'm his mother ..."
Him: his mother is resting in a grave up north don't come here and tell me about your parental right that you gave up a long time ago"
Me: I was young "
Him: took you 15 years to grow up ?"

I swallowed and looked away
Him: stay away from my brother's life if you know what's good for you "
He said moving towards the door
Me: please don't make me fight you for my legal right "
He laughed shaking his head
Him: clearly you don't know who I am ..."
He walked inside the room and I remained outside with a lump on my throat, I was only able to hug Alex and say goodbye to him when they wheeled him out,
if felt like the last time I'm hugging him,  my heart bleeds looking at him walk away from me, I felt like a part of my heart was ripped out of my chest, I walked back inside Alex ward I set on his bed, and place his pillow on my face and cried my lungs out.

When the dust settled all I was left with was my sister's lifeless body in my arms.
I looked at Usher she laid on the floor, she was either dead or her spirit was trapped in another realm, she used up all her energy and power in binding and awakening the new covenant, it was dead wish to invoke such powers and she knew it.

I stepped outside the house and cried, I had to find Cebo... I had no clue how or where to look for her,  this was foreign land and I knew nothing about their customs or whats so ever.

I walked back inside the house with tears blinding my vision, Usher was the smart one when it came to our calling she knew what to do but I'm too soft and timid that I became a follower than her equal, we the yin yang twins but my sister was more powerful than me.
I knew something was dreadfully wrong when my pendant did not shine it was just stone dangling on my neck ... My powers are connected to Usher without her I'm just a useless mortal, and I have no clue on how to save her life if she is not already dead at all.
" Cebo where are you?"
