MINETTE POV

"Mom... I... might have... or not... killed Dad." I finally confessed.

"You... ho--how? Why?" She stuttered and very shocked.

"When they came in the Barren I didn't recognize them and made them my prisoners. They told me I'm his daughter and I'm Karl's Chosen although a part of me trust them I couldn't get myself to believe their words. My memories with them including you are all gone." I started getting into details.

"What did you exactly do to your father?" Mom calm voice but I could tell she's close to outburst.

"I nearly killed him and I figured out my power has evolved the first day they arrived. I used it to extract his powers it was part of my deal with Karl. He remained at my Barren in the Dungeon together with Morgan." I swallowed a lump on my throat.

"How could you do such thing?!" Mom slapped me.

In honesty it doesn't hurt a bit but the mere fact she is my mother I will not fight or disrespect her. Hurting her is my worse pain and I will take every hit she gives.

"I know I'm ruthless and didn't show any remorse to anyone especially if I see them as my enemy. Margo made me believe I loathed everyone excluding her and Cedrik." I didn't hold back the tears.

"I understand you lost your memories but it doesn't justify how you treated them. The daughter I raised has the best understanding and compassion that's what I want to see not this new you!" Mom calmed composure is gone.

"Mom I'm sorry." I grabbed her hand but she pulled it away.

"It's not me who you should ask forgiveness not until I saw you change I'm considering you as good as stranger. I will not and will never tolerate your actions daughter or not." Mom stepped away but I blocked her fast.

"Do you hate me Mom?" I asked almost whispering.

"Hate is a strong word but I am very disappointed to you Ette. You already know the consequences of hatred so I won't let that filled my mind. I'm just hurt at the moment seeing how much you have become." Mom words conscience me.

"I promise I'll change Mom." I vowed sincerely.

"Don't change for me or for anyone. Do it for yourself." Mom stared at me.

"I'm sorry for failing you I'll make sure to make you proud of me that way you will accept me as your daughter again." I vowed while tears streaming down my face.

"It's not you persé that failed me it's what you did that I'm not proud of. You're still my daughter and I'm willing to forgive you just give me time to get this in my head." Mom gave me soothing words.

"Thank you Mom." I hugged her as she kissed my cheek and left.

I'm still sobbing when I sensed Karl wrapped his arms around me.

"It's okay Kitten everything will be fine." He comforts me.

"Mom is right I need to change for that to happen I have to fix everything starting from Margo." I balled my fist.

"Kitten whatever it is don't do anything stupid promise me." Karl cupped my face.

"Margo is the cause for all of this I will have Margo's head on silver platter for the Council." I stated in full of hatred.

"Let the Council decide on it I don't want you to stand in front of the Tribunal Hall or worse be in the Chamber of Death." He made his point.

Chamber of Death is like a Dungeon where all the vampires committed crimes will be punish until they died. Shadow is the first punishment. Next, tortured you inside the cell with full of Vervain. This will get you weak and subsequently the abilities will be gone. Last and most cruel, you're tied on the chair while watching your Chosen or people close to you being killed in broad daylight.

"Fine let's visit the Council before we fly back to Finland." I have no choice but gave in.

"Let me call in Ava." Karl nodded.

Soon enough Ava and Mom came in and they agreed.

"We can't go directly to the Council without a portal and not until Ella's illusion still exist." Ava reminded us.

"Kitten you can make the portal since you absorb Andreas abilities." Karl informed me.

"Let's go we have no time to waste I also need to talk to Ella." I grabbed Mom's hand while Ava and Karlsten in tow.

In ten seconds we reached the Barren and immediately find Ella. Her eyes were closed like meditating so she can't see us yet.

"Ella." I spoke with gentleness.

"Ette? Is that you?" She opened her eyes and realized I'm standing in front of her.

"Yes I'm really here." I smiled as she hugged me.

"I can't believe you're here but I thought your memory was lost. How and when did it happen?" She asked and I got nervous.

"Inside the plane Karl called me --- Kitten." I finally spill it out.

"I knew it!" Karl exclaimed.

I'm thankful they understand my denial last night. I glanced at my Mom and saw her still dismay.

"Anyway I'm here now you can take down all the illusions no need to cover up for me." I recommended.

"Okay anything else?" Ella asked me.

"Actually there's also one more thing I need to do... does any of you know a vampire that has the capability to heal?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Elders like me can heal other lower ranks but I'm not sure with humans. Why do you ask Kitten?" Karl went to my side.

The information left me astounds how could Cedrik not tell me that? Then I thought maybe he is didn't know it since his been travelling alone most often he time. Before I can answer two vampires came in from the resemblance I can tell who they are.

"Mom, Dad I want you to meet my Chosen. Ette, this is Klaudia and Baron my parents." Karl introduced me.

"It was nice to finally meet my son's Chosen." His father commented.

"I heard so much about you Ette." Karl's mother eyed me up and down.

"I hope the good ones." I smiled sheepishly.

Then she whispered words in Finnish that only we can understand. She kissed my cheek and left us.

"Kitten are you okay?" Karl pulled me closer seeing how tensed I was.

"I'll tell you later for now I need to meet and face the Council." I convinced Karl.

"I'll let it slide since we don't much time I'll come with you and this is not up for discussion." Karl insisted with authority.

"You need to take Ava she can channel your thoughts for the Council to see." Ella mentally illustrated to me.

We all nodded and entered the portal and saw a dark, beautiful, sinister castle on top of a high mountain surrounded by mist and mystery. The dark silhouettes lurk in every corner and sun never shines.
