Chapter 13

'Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make, one day you will kiss a man you can't breathe without and find that breath is of little consequence.' ❤❤❤❤ CROSSING JASON'S PATH ❤❤❤❤ When Rae got home, she didn't tell Lillian her encounter she had with the strange beautiful mermaid lady. "How did it go, did you meet anyone when you were strolling?" Lillian asked, she was hoping Rae didn't come in contact with the priestess. She was in Rae's room. "Nope, I met Mrs Ash daughter on my way home, she was going to the library." Rae answered. "I saw her with a guy, they were kissing." Flashback: Truly, on her way home she met Kate, Mrs Ash daughter with a boy older than her a little bit, hiding themselves at the back of the library, as they kissed passionately. With his pale look, Rae knows he was a vampire. She stopped her running and went to sneak on them. Using Mrs Ash harsh voice, she shouted behind them scaring the hell out of them. "Young man what are you doing with my daughter!" The young man nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard that voice, with his undead heart in his mouth, he fearfully turned to face Ash but was surprised when he saw someone else instead. Rae laughed hard at his expression. Kate who has been hiding her face for being caught by her mother, she lifted up head when she heard the familiar laughter. "Who is this?" The man with Kate demanded, his scared expression changed into anger. "She is someone who isn't supposed to be here." Kate answered her boyfriend. "Rae don't you have something else to do in your house?" "I have something I am doing now, that is seeing you kissing your boyfriend. Does your mother know you see a man behind the library?" Rae asked folding her arms under her breast. "That's none of your business Rae, leave us alone." Kate answered her. "Well too bad, you became my business when your mother gave a good recommendation to Principal Jack about me, so I am helping her." Rae said with a shrugged shoulders and faces the young man whose face clearly shows how angry he was. "Young man, I believe you know who her mother is, right?" Rae asked the vampire. "Yes I know who her mother is, how is that your fucking business?" The young man replied in a harsh tone. "If you know her mother, why hiding and kissing her daughter here? This clearly shows that Ash doesn't know what is going on. Any way, I will make this very simple for the three of us, I will escort you both to Mrs Ash house now, so that you can officially introduced yourself as Kate's boyfriend." Rae told them with a sweet smile. "You don't tell me what to do little girl, now get the hell out of here before I beat you to pup." The young man said. How dare this little stupid girl interrupt him and his girlfriend? "You heard him Rae, get out of here, what I do or when I want him to be introduced to my mum is none of your business." Kate said supporting her boyfriend. Shaking her head sadly. "I even volunteer myself to escort the both of you to Ash home and you are…..oh." Rae said not completing her words, she started folding her arm sleeves up, "Are we doing this the hard way or the soft way? Whichever you choose, I will accept." "What are you going to do if we don't follow you?" The young asked as he began showing off his muscles. "Beat me?" He said in a mocking way. "No, do this." Rae answered and punch his face hard on his nose. A sound of cracking was heard which shows, his nose was broken. The vampire was shocked at first as he touched his bleeding nose, he growls when he saw blood. His red eyes flashes in anger as he throws a punch to Rae with vampire speed. Rae was expecting it and didn't dodge the blow, she stood her ground and caught the fist in time before it touches her face. The man tried to remove his hand from the iron grip of Rae but couldn't. His canines became visible and he tried biting Rae's hand which was holding his, but Rae who already knew what he was about to do, slapped him with full force and kicked him hard on the stomach. 5 Minutes Later….. "Wait!" The vampire guy shouted which stopped Rae in her tracks, her left leg raised up to the sky to give him another kick. He was bleeding and the girl he was fighting wasn't bleeding at all, a witch beat him up and in front of his girlfriend? It was humiliating. Breathing hard, "What did you say I should do?" He said at last. "I want you to officially introduce yourself to Mrs Ash right away." Rae answered. "I will do it." The vampire finally agreed. Bringing down her leg, "Good." Facing Kate. "Lead the way home, you have to introduce your mum to her son in law." Fuming in rage, Kate lead the way to her house. Rae and the vampire followed suit. The injuries on the vampire started healing. Once they got to the front door of Ash, his wounds were completely healed. Rae knocked on the door and Ash opened the door. She was very surprised to see Rae, her daughter and a vampire. "I didn't tell Jack anything Rae." Mrs Ash said to Rae. "Whatever he heard was probably from someone else and not me." "I am not here for that, I came here for a total different thing. Your daughter here has something to say to you, right Kate?" "Yes mum." Kate answered with her rolling her eyeballs, pointing at the vampire. "Mum, meet Kane, he is my…..boyfriend." Shaking her head with satisfaction, she gave Kate a thumb up. "My mission has been accomplished, don't worry about the pay, I did a charity work free of charge for your family. Do remember that wherever my grandma wants your help." With that, she left them, smiling at the vampire. End Of Flashback: "Oh, I hope you didn't do anything to them?" Lillian asked. "Nope, I minded my business like you've always told me to me granny." "Good, I want you to always stay out of trouble, okay?" "Yes, I have promised you that granny, I won't go back on my promise." "I hope you do Rae." Lillian said going out of the room. *** As soon as Tamara left the Wolf Kingdom, she appeared inside her cave and was surprised when she saw the water man already waiting for her. "My Lord." Tamara said and bowed her head. "What brought this visit?" "I went to the mermaid Kingdom, I was just coming out from there." The water man responded. "Why would you visit the mermaid Kingdom after so many years?" Tamara asked. "I sense the presence of the last mermaid there. I went there but I came too late, before I would come, she has gone." The water man answered. "That means she is closer to us than we think." Tamara said. "Yes, are you sure you checked all the witches?" "Yes, I did my Lord." "Then where could she be hiding?" The water man asked no one in question. "Where are you coming from?" "From the palace, I went to visit Rosa." Tamara reply. "How is she? Hope the illness is eating her deep?" The water man queried. "Yes my Lord." Tamara answered. "I love what I am hearing, she wanted to play smart with us and we put her where she belongs, after all she is a slave." The water man said. Rosa was Tamara slave who was disguised as Tamara cousin to Roen and everyone. When she later got to find out their real motive, Rosa turned her back on them and decided to let Roen in of their plan. Tamara silence her with the sickness and made her not to talk. Tamara wrote that Jason should be engaged to Lolly on a piece of paper, she used magic in writing in Rosa handwriting. That was what made them believe Rosa want her son to get engaged to Lolly. "And what about her son?" The water man asked. "He is getting stronger by the day my Lord." Tamara answered. "Are you sure he will do as you said once it's time? I have this feeling that I will find the last mermaid sooner than later." "He will dance to our tune my Lord, the same way I made him got engaged to my daughter Lolly, is the same way I will make him do as I say." Tamara revealed with an evil glint in her eyes. "Good, I hope Lolly hasn't revealed her real identity yet to others?" The water man asked. "No one knows who her mother is, her father can't speak about me." Tamara said. "I trust you Tamara, you always make everything right on time, everything….. except for the last mermaid which is holding us back." "Don't worry my Lord, she shall soon be fished out." *** Waking up and preparing herself for school made Rae excited. One she was going to see Jorkallun and Sarah. She had missed her friends, especially Jorkallun. Ever since that night he had showed up, she hasn't heard from him. Going down the stairs as she took the stairs two at a time. Lillian had already set her food on the table, sitting down, she quickly ate her food, finishing up her food, she carried the empty plate back to the kitchen. Greeting her grandmother who collected the plate. A portal opened right there. "Don't forget your promise." "I won't." Rae responded as she entered the portal, it closes. The portal opened at the front of the gate, she stepped out of it and it closes. The whispering started as soon as the students saw her. Unlike her first day in school, she didn't want to create a scene so she ignored everyone and started going to her class, she still remembers it. Sarah blocked her way as she throws herself on Rae in a bone hug. "I have missed you friend, the school has not been the same without you, we need to see more action." Sarah said as both of them started heading to their class. "Well, I am not causing any trouble as I had promised my grandma." Rae said. "But do not worry, I have a lot of gist for you." She stopped as she sighted the handsome white haired boy making his way towards a classroom. "Where is he going?" Rae asked pointing at Jason. "To his class of course." Sarah answered. "Why is he the only one heading that way?" Rae asked as she stared at Jason walking as if he owns the whole school. His shoulders high. How can someone shoulders be that high because of pride? Rae thought. "Haven't I told you before that this school built Jason and Jorkallun classes separately, Jorkallun just like coming to our class to intimidate us and Jason doesn't mingle with us." Sarah explained. "I wasn't paying attention." Rae said and shouted so loud. "Hey Jason!" Her shout attracted everyone's attention to her and Jason, the noisy school suddenly became quiet. Jason stopped and didn't turn, after a while he continued his walk. "Hey Jason, I am talking to you!" Rae shouted louder this time and ran up to him since he was ignoring her. She blocked his path. "Get out of my way now?" Jason spit out with venom. "No, I want to know why you didn't answer me when I first called your name." Everyone's eyes were on them now. "I am losing my patient, haven't I warned you to stay off my path?" "Yes you did, prove me if I am wrong, but every Kings and Queens both contributed in building this school, so I have every right to walk as I pleases in this school." Rae said. Rae could see Jorkallun as he approaches them. "Hey Jorkallun." She smiled at the pretty red haired boy then back at Jason. "Get out of my way, I won't say that again." Jason added with a warning. "I have this problem that I can't stop doing. Whenever someone tells me not to do something, I find myself doing that. So handsome boy, I won't get out of your way until you have answered my question, why didn't you answer me when I called your name the first time?" The promise she made to her grandmother was totally forgotten as she faces the handsome boy.
