One Last Hope

"Philip...."

"no don't call me, because I don't know anything about your mum just ask Kaleb" damn. I turned to Kaleb and he looked away

"Philip, please tell Mr O'Neil that I want information on my mother" Philip turned to him and spoke

"she wants info on her mother dude" Kaleb rolled his eyes and turned to me

"I don't know anything" I rolled my eyes and so did Philip

"dude no one is dumb enough to believe that" I tsked and turned to him

"what do you want Kaleb" I can't believe I'm actually going to negotiate with this jerk

"I want us to get re-married"

"what!" I looked at Philip who spoke with me at the same time and shook my head

"no" I gave him the stink eye and walked closer to him "I will not marry you Kaden"

"you will marry me Bobo, that is your mother's wish" what the hell.'

"how would you know what my mother wants?" he walked closer to me and held my chin up

"because we were able to melt the ice for a second" philip's moth dropped open and my eyes went wide

"you're lying" he shook his head and turned to Philip

"although it took most of my parents and some other warrior's, they were able to melt the ice"

"stop lying to me!" I covered my ears and he pulled my hands

"I have proof, we have a video" he brought out his phone and opened a video. I looked at the phone and felt the familiar stinging of my eye. I looked closely at the phone and turned my gaze to Kaleb

"are you kidding me? This isn't my mother, hell she's even younger than me"

"I can explain that"

"don't be silly Kaleb, what do you take me for huh!?" I can't believe him. Why would he play a prank like that. I tossed his phone back to him and got to Philip

"take me to my mom"

"Dabobo please don't" I silenced him by raising my palm

"I want to hear from her, everyone has this attitude of telling me what my mother and father expect of me Philip! I'm sick and tired of hearing lies" who does he think he is, who do they think they are! I will free this so called woman from that stupid ice and have a heart to heart with her.

"Dabobo please don't let then release your mother I beg of you"
"what the hell do you mean? That you want my mother to remain a statue forever?"

"no Bobo I just..."

"save it Philip" I turned to Kaleb and motioned to the door

"lead the way" I just want to see this woman and have a word with her and for the record, I don't trust Kaleb. I entered his car and he drove towards the castle.

Well time to bring back old memories

"watch your steps Bobo" I ignored him and entered the throne room. The curtains had burnt marks and the place was filled with cobwebs. These people are hideous monsters. I made my way to the garden and saw a small crowd gathered around the tunnel's entrance. Kaleb made small talks with some people but I was a woman in a mission. I entered the tunnel and saw Kaden immediately. Mia's face paled as she saw me before she took a step back. Kaden followed her gaze and he also paled.

"surprise" I smiled and walked over to them.

"how are you not dead, you.....you burnt in the fire" I laughed and took a seat

"long cut short I didn't die" I looked at the frozen statues of the woman which was now in a sleeping position. Okay so it's just a little defrosting right? How hard could it be?

I closed my eyes then channelled my energy into the frozen woman. I saw a knot and an old woman beside it

"mom?" she smiled and shook her head

"I am not your mother my child, my spirit lives in the amulet in which I gifted your mother" wow so many backgrounds.

"you cannot do this alone my child, you need another source, a fire wielder, the ice can only be unfrozen with white fire" wow

"so whose help do I need" the old woman smiled and motioned to the knot

"try to loosen it and the answers you seek, you shall find" I shook my head and turned around

"I'd rather you tell me yourself ma"
"my child, doubt and unbelief are two different words with the same attribute, you don't believe me now to talk of doubting me my child, so please by all means, loosen the knot" ugh fine. I focused on the knot and removed the first tangle, this happened for a while before I came to the final one. I concentrated all my energy on it then felt a sharp pain on my chest. I held my chest in pain and felt something moist dropping on my palm. I opened my eyes and everywhere was dark and stormy. Another wave of pain hit me and I fell to the ground. I looked up to a hand and heard an all to familiar chuckle

"hello princess" no no no nono. He kept his hand in front of me again and I ignored it. He began to shake me vigorously and I started feeling light headed.

"Dabobo!" no

"Dabobo wake up!" I jolted up and stared at all of them. I touched my nose and felt something moist on my fingers ; blood. I felt someone pull me into their embrace but I was to weak to fight him, to be specific Kaleb

"what happened, you almost had it, she was about to stand up, what happened?"

"Luke" my voice came out as a whisper and Kaleb turned to me

"talk to me Bobo, what happened?"

"I can't do this without Luke"
