MAX WALMER

When I wake up I am still locked up in this cold basement with the rest of the supernatural beings. I see Sibu’s mother fixing herself and then she turns to us.

“You’re finally awake, I was beginning to get bored” She says and I hold my head that feels really heavy.

“how are you out? Where’s Joy? I ask her.

“She’s not whoever you think she is” Faith says and I turn to Faith earning a conniving laugh from Sibu’s mother Monalisa.

“Joy did some spell to supress her spirit so that someone else could jump into her body” Faith explains and I frown confused still. How is Joy even able to perform such a complex spell?

“Who are you?” I ask whoever is inside of Mona’s body.

“I am Lindelwa Adams, I’m sure you’ve heard of me” Mona says and I gasp in shock.

“It can’t be. You are dead” I say and she smiles and walks closer to us.

“I was supposed to but there’s always loopholes where magic is concerned. You of all people should know that by now, they thought they were banishing me to the land of the dead but in my life on earth I always made friends with the right people” she says and then she turns on her heels “You see when they did their little spells 15 years ago thinking they were getting rid of me, they sent my spirit to the right place and here I am today. Don’t worry when I’m done I’ll be gone” she says and then turns around with a smirk.

“What do you want?” I ask her and she pretends to think and then she smiles.

“it should be obvious by now, to restore the balance in nature” she says and then she walks to the door. “It was nice meeting you Max”

Joy needs to be stopped but in order for her to be stopped someone has to die, a sacrifice has to be made. This evil that consumes her needs to be moved into another vessel else her power will kill her. I can’t even help out because she has us locked up with a boundary spell.

“We need to find a way out of here”

SYBIL ADAMS

I walk inside the house and I hear laughter and make my way into the lounge and I find my whole family with Ntando and Mona. I rush over to hug my brother tightly.

“How are you here?” I ask him pulling him away from me and holding him at arms length.

“It was Sibu’s mom. She manged to overpower Joy and she found me” Ntando says and I frown confused but walk over to greet Mona anyway and she hugs me coldly. I step back from her feel this very cold chill.

“Are you ok?” she asks and I nod and when suddenly things become blurry and I stumble back.

“Sybil are you ok?” is the last I hear before I pass out.

“You need to fight Sybil, you need to get back to your family. The devil is inside your home” MaSibeko says.

“What happened?” I ask her.

“Lindelwa is back, she’s inside Mona’s body” She explains and I shake my head no.

“But Ntando was with her, how?” I ask her confused “Why didn’t you tell me she was back?” I ask her sitting up

“I didn’t know she was coming back Sybil, I thought the only threat you were facing is Joy but I didn’t know Lindelwa was out or even still alive. She’s here to finish what she started all those years ago” She says.

“What do you mean?” I ask her.

“You are mistake caused by Fate Sybil. You were never supposed to be born, your father was supposed to kill your mother to make her stronger. Your mother is a doppelganger, a pure one and she’s also a witch Sybil. She’s here to cause havoc and return with your mother’s soul” she says and I shake my head no in disbelief.

“No! Ntando is supposed to feel her” I say.

“Not if he’s been blindsided and his magic is currently not working. As far as Ntando knows, Joy did something to him and now his magic isn’t working” She explains.

“Nellie should know something, where am i? Why am not waking up?” I ask her

“Nellie left to find answers earlier on today Sybil so you wouldn’t have to. Because when you and her were in contact she did something to you to put you into a heavy sleep until she finishes what she’s here to do in your world”

JOY LEIRIA

“Who are you?” the guard asks, I click my finger snapping his neck and he drops to the floor. I walk into the passage and make my way to the lounge where she sits drinking tea.

“Who are you?” she asks not looking at me.

“I thought you were the regent, you supposed to be all mighty and powerful” I snarl.

“I won’t ask you again, who are you?” she asks standing up and I chuckle.

“You’d think your precious ancestors would have warned by now about who I am” I tease with an annoying chuckle.

“What do you want?” She asks “Joy!” she adds and I smirk.

“So you know who I am” I say and walk over to her around the couch passing my hand over the table arm rest feasting my eyes around this beautiful vintage lounge “You have a nice place, I would hate to get blood stains on this beautiful white rug” I say and swipe my hand throwing her outside into the back yard. I walk out of the broken door and make my way to her on the floor.

“Arent you atleast going to fight me? I mean it’s no fun if you just give in” I say and raise her up from the ground and squeeze my hand and she starts coughing chocking.

“You won’t get away with this. Sybil will stop you!” She says confidently and I laugh

“Oh that’s so cute, Sybil is a little preoccupied. Yeah, she’s having a reunion with her great grandmother” I say and throw her against the wall and she falls down and lays on her side. I walk over to her and crouch in front of her.

“Any final words?” I ask her and she’s about to speak when I click finger and snap her neck killing her. I place my hand over her heart and I rip it out and then take it back to my layer.

I walk in and greet my captives.

“Joy what did you do?” Max asks.

“You’re awake, you so cute. I can’t wait to marry you” I say and then turn back to my table and then take a bowl and the squeeze the blood out of the heart into the bowl whilst chanting. This is the spell that will give me the power to become regent and take over. I walk over to them and then I take the human and rip out her heart earning a scream from Faith and then walk back to the bowl and squeeze the heart and the blood drips into the bowl.

“Joy you don’t have to do this, She’s your sister” Max tries to remind me.

“Yes she is and that’s what makes this spell more powerful. You see Max, my sister is a hybrid which means she’s a vampire and werewolf and the only way to restore balance in nature is to kill her.” I say and then I look at Faith “It’s really nothing personal sisi, it’s just something that needs to be done” I say and then hold my hand out to her when I feel something throw me against the wall hitting my back painfully and knocks me out.
