Redemption (Triplet Sequel)

Chapter 17

Zee POV

This sucked. This more than sucked. Here I was, back as a the thing I hated most: a rat. I was following the group of evil minions that were dragging Jimhaya by the elbows, letting her feet drag on the pristine floor. I knew that sooner or later, they would see a rat, simply because everything was so disturbingly clean and dustless that all life form would have likely died by now. The only problem was that they were walking too fast for a walking bug to follow and a flying one would be easily seen.

Anyway, they ignored me for the time being. James Hartman and my bastard of a boyfriend and his living mirror were nowhere to be seen. I followed closely and squeezed my way into a bland looking room. Jimhaya was shoved onto a metal chair and her hands were strapped together behind. The bindings were probably anti-magic so that she couldn't use any. I quietly shifted into a tiny spider and made my way up the ceiling until I had a vantage point on my mother as well as the entire room.

Jimhaya jolted out of unconsciousness and looked around her. I swallowed a fright when I noticed that she was not in control. It was easy to know when the beast was in command, like the way she shivered and looked around with pure rage. I heard a few snorts from the others around the room as they thought she was shivering in fear, but I knew better. It was a battle for control between whomever was inside the body of Jimhaya Hundale. I also knew for a fact that my adopted mother with blue eyes and caring personality was not amongst them. The creatures around the room probably thought that they had captured the all mighty Hybrid and that they were safe. That too, I knew better.

James and the scary twins walked in shortly after and watched with satisfaction as Jimhaya slowly got control back of her body.

"Hello, my dear" James said with a smile. "Welcome to my home, and yours soon enough"

Jimhaya stayed silent, but I didn't miss the roll of her eyes.

"I am not surprised you found it though. Quite frankly I was expecting you sooner, but I guess you did have a few glitches along the way"

"Where is Siana?" Jimhaya asked in a deadly calmness.

"Relax will you? You will see her soon enough. Well, what's left I suppose"

I bald my imaginary fists. I was so angry, I was sure everyone here could feel it reek from me. Jimhaya grunted. "I thought you wanted her for your precious collection"

"Well yes, but I may have gotten a little passionate. I really wanted her to give me something but she is a tough cookie to crack, is she not?" James asked Jimhaya with a sadistic grin on his face. She simply hummed in reply.

"Perhaps you could help me instead" James said as he walked closer to her. "Perhaps, for the life of the thing you adopted and what's left of your wife, you could give me your offspring. And I will leave you and your family alone. Two and a family for one child? I think it's fair"

Jimhaya exhaled with impatience, "This again? You must be tired of going around circles"

"I am tired of waiting patiently for Phyllis to be in my possession. Trust me Jimhaya Hundale, you do not want me to lose patience. Think about it? What is the life of many and the following generations for a single soul? She is just one girl, you can have another anytime you want"

"Ha, one blood offspring is enough for me. I'll keep her, thank you. But I am grateful of you though."

"Why is that?" James said with anger as he gritted his teeth.

"Because of you, Zefra will live a long, lousy life as a single woman because there is no way that she is bringing a male home again" Jimhaya grinned wickedly as she looked at Alex through her eyelashes. I looked at him too, but he was not my boyfriend anymore. He looked like a ragged doll.
