“Love you too,” I tell him before hanging up. I race over to my parents, grabbing the duffle bag Eziah brought with him. Eziah tried to open the coffin, and so did. We tried for about ten minutes, but nothing worked, and mum became increasingly nervous.
“Stop. Your fathers can’t be here; it wasn’t part of my vision. And you had brown leather,” she closes her mouth.
“You will find it; I can’t say anymore. I don’t want to interfere when I only have glimpses,” she says.
“You saw it am I right?”
Mum’s lips tug up, “I can’t say, and I don’t want to jinx anything,” but I knew that was her way of telling me I am. We quickly pushed all the dirt back into the grave, which still had an enormous hole. Now it was empty of the casket before we said our goodbyes and locked the family crypt up.
My parents left, and Eziah and I waited for our taxi. And man, did we get some strange stares from the taxi driver? We didn’t think that through very well. Leaving the cemetery covered in dirt looked pretty guilty.
We got out at the back of the casino to sneak into the underground car park and use the elevator to go straight to the apartment.
Once inside, we both shower and get changed into fresh clothes. I gave Eziah some of Jonah’s before I chucked our clothes in the washing machine. Within seconds of hiding all the evidence of our outing,
Jonah stepped in. Eziah was going threw one of the books taken from the Moon Goddess realm.
“Kyan said you would be here,” Jonah said. He looked at Eziah nervously. The windows still hadn’t been fixed, but I knew they would be worried about the hotel room one’s first since this room wasn’t supposed to be occupied with us going back to the manor.
“Eziah,” Jonah says, Things were a little strange between them and I wasn’t sure if it was because of
Kyan’s unease knowing Eziah was here or if he was suspicious. I went with suspicious as he plucked the book from Eziah’s hand.
“Why are you looking at spells and curses?” Eziah shrugs.
“Mum gave me homework,” Eziah lies smoothly with a shrug before snatching it back off him.
“Did you pack what you want to take with you!” Jonah asks, and I shake my head as he moves toward his room. He grabs a few changes of clothes and packs them, along with our phone charges. He was awfully quiet, which made me worry. Grabbing my pajamas, I place them in his bag when he leans down next to me.
“You’re up to something,” Jonah whispers.
“I will tell you when I am sure,” I tell him.
“Eziah knows this secret, obviously,” Jonah murmurs, and I nod.
“Kyan knows you’re up to something. He rang me earlier, wanting to know why Eziah was in the city,”
Jonah says, slinging the bag over his shoulder.
“What did you say?” I asked him.
“That you were having lunch and hanging out. I trust you, but if you need help with something, please ask,” Jonah says.
“Just not yet. I want to be sure.” I tell him.
“Come on then, I want to get to the manor before Kyan comes looking for us. I don’t think it is good for him to see your brother right now, not so soon after Lucas,” I agree and follow him out.
“Stay away from the windows. You know where everything is, so help yourself. I will drop Mara off in the morning so you can do whatever it is you are both up to,” Jonah tells him. Eziah nods, leaning over and grabbing the remote from the coffee table and turning the TV on. Jonah walks out and I give my brother my key in case he leaves to go anywhere.
“Had a thought,” Eziah says, and I stop while Jonah continues out the door.
“What?” I ask him.
“Dominic did the spell right, from that grimoire?”
“I think so,”
“Then wouldn’t he have it? You need to check the manor?” Eziah says, which makes sense. For him to have used the spell, he had to have known it, meaning he had to have a grimoire.
“I’ll find it,” I tell him.
“I will see if I can find anything in these books tonight. And I will see you in two days, maybe see if you can borrow a car,” Eziah says, and I sigh.
“Jonah works tomorrow. He will let us¡ wait, why two days?” Eziah chuckles. “You will be preoccupied, you’ll see,” he laughed before waving me off to go home. I purse my lips, annoyed he wouldn’t tell me.
Shaking my head, I leave to find Jonah waiting by the elevator.
“Ready?” he asks.
“Yeah, let’s go home,” I tell him, grabbing his hand.
Marabella POV
When we returned home , Kyan was in a strange mood , and I knew it was because Eziah was in the
City . Walking into the manor , I could hear the vacuum going upstairs , and Jonah sighed , taking the groceries Kyan asked us to grab on the way home to the kitchen . Carrying the duffle bag , I start walking up the steps to the second floor . Lucas’s bedroom door was open , and I could see an extension cord running from the power outlet in the hall leading into Lucas’s old room .
Taking the duffle bag to the bedroom . I placed it on the bed , knowing there was no point and putting anything away because Kyan would just wait for us to sleep before undoing everything I folded or hung up , only to redo it or hang them a particular way . So I decided to wait for him and help him . Hearing the vacuum cut out , I wander back down the hall and over to Lucas’s room . Stopping at the door , I find Kyan cleaning the room .
The bed was freshly made , and I could smell the furniture polish . The old dusty curtains had been replaced , yet the old furniture that Kyan despised so much was polished to look brand new . All of
Lucas ¡® knick ¨C knacks are set back in their original places . And Kyan was now cleaning the window tracks with a microfiber cloth .
Even while cleaning , he was in pristine condition , with not a speck of dust on him , yet he looked different with his white button ¨C up shirt , the sleeves rolled t o his elbows . So odd seeing a man of his status doing ordinary , mundane tasks like cleaning window tracks . I knocked , not wanting to enter
Lucas’s room while he was upset .
I had been in here plenty of times when Lucas was alive . Lucas was very proud of his baseball card collection and liked to show me them and his comic books that sat in their plastic wrappers , never opened . It made me wonder which was Dominic’s room . I knew it wasn’t on this floor , and there were two more floors . Maybe I could ask Kaif later if he comes forward . If not , I might have to explore a bit .
Kyan never minded when I looked around , although I never went to the upper floors unless I went to the Seance room . Kyan looks over his shoulder at me and pulls his latex gloves from his hands . He drops them in his little rubbish bin . ” You’re home , finally . I was becoming bored . Where is Jonah ? ” he asks , walking over to me . He grips the front of my shirt , pulling me into the room and kissing me briefly . ” Are you alright ?
” I ask him worriedly . The emotions through our bond were all over the place . ” Fine , where is Jonah
? ” he asks , glancing over my shoulder . ” Putting groceries away , ” I tell him , and h e nods before rushing around the room , picking up his cleaning supplies , and I grab the vacuum , unplugging the cord and packing it back in the storage closet in the hall . Kyan steps out of the room behind m e before
I see him lock the door with a key before pocketing it .
