‘If you focus on the hurt, you will continue to suffer. If you focus on the lessons, you will continue to grow. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.’
“I know I should have asked for your permission before telling anyone about your existence, I am sorry.” Nora pleaded to daisy, in her haste to tell her grandma and Craig, she forgot to ask daisy if it was okay.
“Nora, don’t say sorry. I am glad you told them in that way I got to talk to you and you reply me in their presence. I am even glad it was those two you told and not outsiders.” Daisy responded calmly.
“Thank you for understanding me.” Nora said grateful. “So where were you all day?”
“Up.” Daisy answered pointing upwards.
“You mean you were at the ceiling all day, doing what?”
“Not the ceiling, I was up, in the sky, trying to figure out if I could sense who actually owns that dark powers Lora used but I couldn’t find any trace.” Daisy said in sadness.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
“Don’t get yourself overworked, I believe with time you will get to know the person behind that dark powers.” Nora said trying to cheer her little friend up.
“Okay, I will try.”
Nora smiled at that and sat down on her bed after changing into her pajamas. “Are you sure Paul will visit me again like he promised?” Nora suddenly asked out of blue.
“I see no reason why he won’t come to visit you.”
“I don’t know why I have this feeling, it might sound strange but Paul reminds me of Philip. His voice somehow looks like that of Philip.”
“You’re thinking too much Nora, go to sleep now, tomorrow is a new day.”
Nora laughed at that, her fingers slowly went up to her neck and brought out the hidden necklace Philip had given to her. The necklace was always round her neck but was hidden from others eyes. Truly it was beautiful as she had imagined it that day.
“Mamaquilla, I know you can hear me but if not, please give me a listening ear. Please Mamaquilla, if truly Philip is alive and somewhere out there because I refuse to believe he’s dead, protect him and bring him back to me. Philip believed that you have blessed our union, don’t make me lose faith in you. Bring my Philip, that is all I ask from you Mamaquilla.” Nora finished saying with tears in her eyes. “Good night daisy.”

Kate put a call across Mark once she was in her room. She waited for some seconds before Mark picked it.
“Hello Kate, still haven’t gotten any news of Ora. I think we should report about her to the police.” Mark said once he had picked the call.
“That was what I was calling you for, Ora came home with a good Samaritan that saved her.” Kate told him.
“Thank God, that’s good news. I am so happy she’s found at last. Thank you for telling me. I have to go and inform David about this. Thank you.” Mark said in excitement before he cut the call heading towards his son room.
“David, kate just called me and told me Ora is back.” Mark told his David once he opened his room door.
His sad face was quickly replace by a bright smile that would have made the sun jealous.

Lora huffed out in annoyance when Paul refused to pick her calls for the umpteen time.
“Why isn’t he picking my calls? He is really frustrating me!” Lora shouted at the empty room.
“You shouldn’t get angry at every little things Lora.” Dee voice vibrated the room.
“I shouldn’t get angry? I want that guy and I want him really bad. Everything I had planned out isn’t working, you got to do something fast Dee before I lose it. David is already mine but I want Paul, I need him even if I have to do something just to have him then I will.”
“Lora I have told you that using spells to force love on someone isn’t in our power. I don’t even know what you saw in that guy, fine he is good-looking but David is also good looking, why can’t you stay with him?”
“True Dee, but I want Paul. And you…. you are a dark fairy who ought to do my will, and this is one of it. Make Paul fall in love with me.”

At midnight.
Two dark shadows were seen entering the building of Kate through the dark walls, moving with inhuman speed towards the boys quarters as they both slip inside the room Diego was.
5 minutes later….
They came out of Diego’s room with inhuman speed and left the building as they came.
One of them stops to address the second one. The two men were dressed in blacks, only their eyes were seen with great difficulty.
The one whose sword seemed to glisten with blood, Diego’s blood, spoke.
“Go and report to master our mission has been accomplished with success.”
“Yes senior, I will do that immediately.” The second one responded, one second he was there and the next second he wasn’t.
***
The dark shadow entered the room the stranger was.
He was standing by the balcony of his room cleaning his sword.
“He’s dead master.” The man coming out from the dark shadow wall spoke.
“Good…. very good.” He replied and continue cleaning his sword. “What is it Eric?” He asked when he noticed the assassin wasn’t moving an inch.
“Why did you say we should kill Diego when you know he was one of the best.”
“Have I ever told you my story?”
“No master. You haven’t tell anyone your story.” Eric replies.
“Well count yourself lucky then because you’re about to hear my story. It all started some years ago. I have a brother, he was my twin actually, we were identical, his name was Philip and mine was Philly.” He said still cleaning his sword. “There came a day when our house caught fire by accident when we were five and I was trapped in it with Philip, I actually started the fire to end our lives. But my parents choose to come in at that moment and saved their intelligent son instead of me, leaving me behind to die. They forgot about me, maybe they taught I died in the fire but luck wasn’t by their side…. I survived. I was saved by master Kirochi who taught me every moves of a ninja which I used in killing him and taking over him. I grew up hating my parents and my twin brother and swore to kill them all. I succeeded in killing my mother by setting up the accident that had her killed. My next target was to kill my father then lastly Philip, everything was going according to my plan until I saw her.” He paused to put his sword back on its stealth.
“Who did you see master?” Eric asked suddenly curious.
“Nora or should I call her Ora, it was love at first sight, I wanted her but Philip was my obstacle. I saw the love they had for each other and a plan came into my mind, so my second victim was my twin brother, Philip. I made the plane he boarded crash killing everyone in it. With my burn scars I got from the past and my twin identical face that matches his, they will believe that I am Philip once I meet them. I have everything planned out. Now go.”
The ninja assassin, Eric, quickly left leaving Philly alone in the hotel room.
He dialed a number on his phone which was picked by the second ring.
“Kill Eric, he knows too much.”
