His Other Half

Fifty-four

Omniscient

Ahsha and Isaac scanned their surroundings, both getting the feeling that they had been here before. "You have." Ahsha turned her head to see Oshun standing next to her. "Before your spirit chose this particular body this is where you roamed." She explained. Ahsha nodded her head understanding.

"Look," Isaac said as Ahsha followed his gaze. A few feet away the pair could see a large flame dancing in the darkness with several people seated around it. Their view was quickly obstructed by Anansi as he looked at the pair. "You two said you were ready," Anansi said. "We are," Isaac said.

"Very well then go on," Anansi said stepping aside. Isaac walked towards the people but before he could break the circle he was stopped by an invisible wall. Isaac turned and looked at Anansi with an annoyed look. "Now what are you holding on to," Anansi asked him. Ahsha and Isaac stood silent. "I—," Ahsha paused. "What?" Isaac said eyeing her.

"I care greatly about Malik and I'm sure no one will believe me but I feel closer to Ares." She said. "What, that man—," "Let her speak," Anansi interrupted. "When I'm with Ares the passion I feel is so different compared to what I feel with Malik or Pablo." She explained.

"It feels like my connection is deeper with Ares than it is with Malik. I guess what I'm saying is I'm worried I may have more feelings for Ares than Malik and Pablo. And I feel guilty about that considering everything that's happened. But even when everything was happening there was still something in the back of my mind that, in a sick way loved him greatly." Ahsha said. The siblings missed the look Anansi and Oshun shared at Ahsha's words. "Maybe it's the mate bond," Isaac said.

"Then it would be the same with Malik and Pablo but it's not. Originally my feelings for Malik were so strong but along the way, something changed and I don't know what that was." Ahsha said turning away from her brother.

"Ahsha—," "I know what you're going to say but I've been thinking about it for a while now. I love Malik and Pablo but with Ares—I just feel something so different." She said. "Maybe I'm just crazy or this world has fucked up my logic." She added. "You're not crazy but you have always been a little ditzy," Isaac said. Ahsha pushed as a soft chuckle left her lips.

Isaac sighed. "I guess it's my turn." He said. "Veronica is my mate and I love her so much but I think she's jealous of our relationship." He said. "Why?" Ahsha asked. "When you—," He paused unable to speak about his sister dying.

"She and I got into a fight and it became very apparent to me how she felt. She brought up how Ares basically kidnapped me and I don't blame you for what he did. It wasn't your fault. You're my sister, my twin, and my best friend and I would do anything for you, but she is my mate." He said. "I'm worried that there will come a day where I'll be put in the position where I'll have to choose between you two—,"

"And you're scared you'll pick her?" Ahsha asked. Isaac looked at his sister, no words leaving his mouth for a moment. "No, I'm scared I won't be able to choose and I'll lose you both." He said. "Isa I would never put that type of decision on you, ever," Ahsha said as she hugged her brother.

A strong gust of wind whipped around them drawing their attention to the flames. Ahsha and Isaac looked down seeing him in a white blouse and loose pants. While Ahsha was dressed in a white flowy dress. Their attention was drawn to the people in front of her. It was the group of women from the beach staring down at her as well as several men she'd never seen before. "Dad," Isaac said. Ahsha followed her brother's gaze to see their father standing a few feet away smiling.

Ahsha looked down at her hand seeing Oshun was holding her hand. "Now we can begin," Marie said as the women parted ways to reveal their grandmothers.
