I almost sigh in relief when I recognized that voiceI turned around to look at him, his face contorted into a frown.
"Are you trying to run away from me Ella ?" He asked"No old man. What are you doing here ?" I asked back looking around for any sign of danger
"I came to check why you have been absent for two days with informing me."
"Are you for real ? Travis gave me an off valid for two days and he also said that you are well aware of it."
"Travis didn't mention anything ! And why were you trying to sneak from your own house ?"
"How did you know my place?" I chose to ask him rather than answering his question
" Come on. It's really normal for an employer to have all the details of his or her employee just in case anything happens ."
I was loosing my patience with him because anything could happen now
"What did you use to come here?" I asked tapping my leg impatiently
"I took a cab. Won't you invite me inside ?" He asked slyly
All I did was take a hold if his arm and pull him towards the car with Stevie close in tow
"What are you doing?" He asked
"Could you please shut the hell up for a minute before I loose it !" I snapped at him and immediately I felt guilty for speaking to him with that tone.
"Put on your seat belts. You are about to have a drive you'll never forget ."
I didn't wait for their response as I begun the engine , reversing so fast I sped away from the estate driving so fast I could see the horror in both Gabriel's and Stevie's face but none of them tried to tell me about it afraid that I would snap again.
"Sorry old man. I didn't mean to talk to you like that but you have a tendency of talking too much. And the situation we are in right now does not need me having to answer everything.. I just need some silence to think please .."
He exhaled before smiling at me
"For a second there I thought we were back to our usual selves even after the dinner we had.""I'm sorry.. I won't do that again okay?"
"No it's really okay. You don't need to apologise . I can't stay angry at you for long you know."
The rear of the drive went on with a comfortable silence and not a tense one like before .
Travis was waiting for me outside his gate and the moment he spotted his car, he opened it as I sped in shouting for him to lock it.
I knew we weren't being followed and I was just paranoid but I had to be extra careful from now onwards ."
Jumping outside the car , I opened the door for the others as a wide eyed Travis stared at Stevie.
"What is she doing here ?" He asked angrily
"This girl has been on my neck to date her for a while now . I don't want her iny house you need to leave right now !" He ordered"Travis could you suck up your attitude for a while please . We have serious matters to attend to ?"
I said as I dragged Stevie in but not before I noticed the smile on Gabriel's face
"Finally someone ordered you and you complied. Who would have thought it would be a girl?"
He whispered loud enough fore to hearOnce we were seated, I looked at Stevie with a questioning look
"I need answers now!""Can I talk to you in private please ? Without the both of them..." She said in fear
"Whatever you want to say, say it now because these two will be helping us out in any way."
"But he loathes me." She said referring to Travis
"Just look at the way he is looking at me "And sure enough Travis was glaring at her the entire time.
"Travis I need you to stop glaring at Stevie and make her comfortable . Can you do that?" I said"Whatever.." he muttered walking to his kitchen .
"So there is this power that has been running through Elena's family for several generations but along the way one generation failed to awake the dark Luna so the powers were cut from there . And so in order to awake the dark Luna again several rituals had to be done including the offering of a female pure heart. But then again it's like all the pure hearts disappeared and the other generations never found them and according to the Oracle, Elena is the last one to awake the dark Luna failure to which their powers will disappear forever."
"So basically I'm the only pure heart around ." I stated more to myself than to others
"Actually you are two. You and Travis but Travis is a male so he is of no importance to them." Stevie answered
"But I thought she was your sister. Why are you saying Elena's family ? I asked still not believing what I had just heard
"The dark Luna comes from her mother's side and basically it's inherited by the females so I'm not one of them."
"I see ," Gabriel said for the first time making me realize he was actually there following the conversation
"So how do you explain the way you were throwing yourself at me Stevie ?" Travis said making me look up and it seemed that he had been there for a while now
"I never liked you to the point of wanting something more with you. I have someone else whom I love so much so whatever was happening was an act forced upon me by my sister Elena and my father. He wants your factory so if you married me then I'd have a share to it and I would transfer it to him."
"You're living Stevie . You can fool everyone else in this room but you can't fool me. Don't try crossing my path, you'll be dead before you know it !" He said looking Stevie in the eye before going upstairs
"He doesn't like me or even believe me." Stevie sighed
"Give him time...just give him time." Gabriel said following his son
