Chapter 18

❤️❤️❤️ The Truth and The Curse (Part 2) ❤️❤️❤️ "But that is impossible Arabella, do you know the kind of sacrifices I had made to attain my powers? You as a child can't have such powers, beside you are immortal." Emerald told Arabella. "And you are my great great grand aunt, I know you can make me as powerful as you. Unless you are not interested in having the diamond again." Arabella said with a smirk on. "Let me explain this for you Aunt, when you make me as powerful as you are and I give you the diamond, unlocking it and using the powers it bears for yourself, you still remain the most powerful witch. Do you get where I am heading aunt?" "I get what you are saying Arabella." Emerald said. "But you are immortal and living in the human realm, it will be impossible to make you that powerful." "Then take me with you, I will be your assistant, partner in crime, please aunt do not say no." "You know in the Supernatural realm, I am not a people person, meaning, I have a lot of haters who are hell bent on destroying me. If you come with me and they see you with me, you will also be targeted. Let me tell you this, I was killed but returned after I made a deal with Lucifer himself. For thousand of years he wanted to be free but couldn't so I made a deal with him and decided to use the strongest dragon hybrid-" Interrupting her, "Tell me about that when we are in the other realm." Smiling, "You don't even want to ask what I had sacrificed....but as long as you keep to your own bargain, I will make you as powerful as I am." Emerald told Arabella, throwing the empty locket to the floor and stretching forth her both hands. "Hold my hands Arabella." Arabella did as told, she covered the distance between them and grabbed hold of Emerald hand in hers. Emerald started saying incantations and they started fading away starting from their legs. Soon the room was empty, left for the empty locket which was a few feet away from the door, the blue salt and the bloody shovel she had used on Lily and in digging the grave. ***** "How?" Aurora asked in a shaking low voice but Willow heard her. "First, of all, what is your name?" Willow asked and when no answer seemed to be coming, he added. "If you tell me your name I will tell you how we got to know you are not Arabella." 'C'mon love, don't make me beg you.' Willow said in his mind. "Aurora." "Aurora. Aurora." Willow repeated after her smiling. He could have dug out everything concerning her when he realised she wasn't Arabella, but he couldn't, there must be a reason why she was faking to be Arabella, so he and his family decided not to tell the fake Arabella until they hear from the horse's mouth. "Aurora. Aurora." He repeated again in a husky voice and Aurora found herself liking how it sounded on his lips. "I have told you my name, now it's your turn to tell me how you came to know I am not Arabella." "Well first of all, Arabella can't cook to save her life." Willow began. "Arabella does call my mum aunt but you call her ma'am. She told us she was an orphan since she was little but you told us your mum and grandmother died when you were 18 years old." "You mean Arabella told you she was an orphan?" "Yes, but let's leave Arabella out of this, who is she to you, I mean who are you?" "I'm her twin, we are identical." Aurora answered truthfully. "Then why are you here pretending to be her?" "She told me you had killed her son who is also my godson and almost killed her too before she escap-" Interrupting her gently by placing his index finger on her lips. "Arabella told you that and made you come here to kill me?" Removing his finger from her lips she nodded her head. "Not exactly in the way you put it, but yes." "Whatever she told you is a complete lie." "I just saw how you murdered those innocent bodyguards and you expect me not to believe my own twin sister?" "You think I am lying?" Willow asked bringing his phone out from his pocket, going through it and showed Aurora the video of Arabella confessing of killing her own son. "You are lying Willow." "He's not lying Aurora." Lucia said coming inside the room with her husband and two daughters. "He is saying the truth." "He could have forced my twin sister to say that." Aurora said trying to believe even though her heart is doing the opposite. "Aurora, you think I killed William to frame Arabella up? Gosh I have come to love you that is why I am telling you the truth, if my mother had treated her badly will she stay with us for five years? No she won't, I don't know what devil possesses her to make her kill a child she carried for nine months and William is not my son." "I don't believe you until I hear from my twin sister mouth."
