One Last Hope

"Bobo" I tossed on the bed and hid my face in the pillow. Ugh it's too early to wake up. I tossed and turned then felt someone kissing my cheeks

"Kaleb come on" I opened my eyes and aligned my face with his and he took it as an opportunity to give me a kiss on my lips

"morning baby" I smiled at him then hugged him

"good morning Kaleb" he planted a kiss on my shoulder blades and I sighed in content. Okay so I know everyone is confused, one time I don't want to marry him, the next I'm in his bed playing hanky panky, but let me go through this from the top. I have feelings for him, I'm not denying that but there's Philip to and I haven't been seeing him around much. I've grown to have feelings for Kaleb.

"hey Bobo?" Kaleb broke my chain of thoughts and I gave a nod in reply. He placed me on his lap and played with my afro

"about our honeymoon, its been two weeks Bobo" he nibbled my ear and trailed his finger down my arm. He started planting butterfly kisses on my neck and I tensed. He looked hurt before he pushed me aside then stood up

"Kaleb please I" he ignored me then went outside, not forgetting to slam the door. I sighed then stood up.

Why me!?

I entered the bathroom and looked at the water longingly. I tried to manipulate the water but I felt a zap on my wrist making me to sigh in annoyance. I had my bath and picked out a long gown. I packed my hair into two pigtails and made my way downstairs. I entered the dining hall and took my place on the seat which was beside Philip and opposite Kaleb.

"good morning everyone" as always I got a smile from mia, a curt nod from Kaden and nothing from Philip.

"a word of prayer please" mia turned to me and I closed my eyes

"thank you Jesus for the food we have , and the roof over our head, help us today and guide us, in you we hope and believe in, in Jesus name"

"amen" dread filled my veins as I turned my head to the direction of the voice

"I'm sorry, did I interrupt something?" Kaleb stood up and pulled me to his back and everyone else stood in our front

"luke what are you looking for here" he smirked then started pacing back and fort

"all I want is to free Seyi and to free Seyi, I need Dabobo so I just need to borrow her for like a week or two and I promise to return her" he paused, then his face lit up

"or her dead body" a water weaver threw ice at him and he melted it

"tsk tsk, see Philip, I told you they wouldn't agree so know I want you to get Dabobo" everyone starred at him and Kaleb pushed me back again

"when I tell you to run, run" I shook my head as tears threatened to fall.

"Kaleb no"he cleaned my tears then placed a kiss on my lips.

"Bobo please run" I turned around and turned back to face him. I ran to him and connected our lips again. He held onto my waist and I combed his hair with my fingers.

"ahem!" I pulled out and Kaleb let go of me

"what are you waiting for Philip?" he shook his head and smiled

"its like your brain needs a little reminder" he smirked

"invite me in"

"come in" Philip frowned and luke stepped in. He got to Philip's side and smiled

"now Philip, I know what's bothering you and it's your damn humanity switch, I mean whats so hard in get her" he smirked the came towards me

"so I want you to turn it off" Kaleb's face widened in fear as he came close to us

"stay back O'Neil" Kaleb's feet glued to the ground and I took a step back and luke pulled me close to him.

"turn, it , off" Philips eye colour turned to a darker shade and luke smiled

"I've fixed him" he smiled and pulled my hair back

"I'm sure you haven't had human blood in like how many years?" he sniffed my scent and smiled

"she smells delicious" he turned me to him and took control of my mind

"run" I started running and I felt a gush of wind engulf me. Philip held my waist and smiled

"too slow love"

"Philip please" he chuckled and played with my hair

"its not going to hurt, well for me" he barred my neck and started planting kisses on it. I took a sharp intake of breath as he trailed his tongue on my vein. He kissed the spot again and I pushed his chest.

"argh!" he bit down on my neck and I started trashing around. I started getting light headed and my grip on his chest loosened and my eyes rolled to the back of my head. Just when I was about to loose consciousness he released me and let go of me. Luke caught me and saluted my family

"adios!" he gave a salute and dragged me to his car. He kept me in the passenger's seat and went to the driver's seat before driving off. We made way towards the castle and he parked the car.

"why haven't you stopped bleeding" he tsked before carrying me. We got to the tunnels and he placed me on the ground. The bite was still bleeding and I felt weaker by each passing second. He brought the frozen woman and placed her on the table.

"why the hell aren't you healing" I mustered up all my energy and pointed at the anti-magic ornament.

"aww you poor baby, they deprived you of magic for so long"he played with my afro and raised my chin up

"oh dear" he broke the anti-magic ornament and I felt the healing process start. He continued playing with my hair then suddenly let go

"it is time" he stood up and got a stone from the ground. He dragged it across his skin and motioned for me to come. I stood up and limped towards him. He pulled my palm and slid the stone across it.

"ouch" he giggled as the blood flowed out from the gash. He connected our bloody palms and we faced the frozen woman. He conjured up fire and I conjured water from the leaved and then the knot suddenly appeared in my mind.

"can you see it princess"

"yes" I took a deep breath and started loosing the knot. I got to the last one, a white fire suddenly appeared and the rope straightened. I opened my eyes and the frozen woman was engulfed in flames. I tried to let go of luke but he held my hand tighter.

"control your emotions Bobo! Calm down!" okay Bobo just calm down. I took a deep breath and the place became cold. The fire turned to ice then bluish flame, before it finally went off. Luke slowly let go of my hand then went to the woman

"Seyi?" she sat up and stared at luke

"what have you done?"
