The Kingdom of Grace
Chapter 9

March 6, 2011 at twenty past two…

Eliza woke up from having a nightmare, she saw her mother died from refuse to join the hellhound territory and her body were in skeleton body, as she grows up into her teen, her father forced her to clean his mansion, clean the kitchen area, clean the living, make his meals every day, and make love to her father every other night. When she turned 18 years old, she gave him a son, and demanded her to name him after her father, and then suddenly, the hellhounds had come to take Eliza to their territory as they dragged her outside his mansion. Her father smirk as he holds his child to make sure that his work doesn’t fail under some tragic betrayal, the hellhounds push her on the ground, the mother hellhound approaches her with a simple question. Eliza remembers her mother’s final words were never give into the followers of evil, find a way to set yourself free from the pain and torutre of your memories, and set course to Heaven for final peace. When she gave her answer to the mother hellhound, she ordered her daughters to lift her up, and she drinks Eliza’s blood before twisting her neck and returning to the Netherworld.

Eliza woke up in fright, got up from the bed without waking Jacob up, she slowly walked downstairs to the diner room to play the piano for a while, and then she sat down on the piano seat before playing a random melody she thought of Jacob.

“If someone can hear me, my soul’s gone into the limbo where lost souls float around the Earth, If someone can see me, my body has marks of pain from my previous life. Heed to my voice, avoid the danger ahead of you, heed to my voice, believe in God and his son will guide you through your darkness, if I have to stay in his plan to guide my future, then I won’t have to experience the torture inside my soul. Heed to my voice, stay away from the followers of evil, heed to my voice, stay away from people who deceive your faith, my heavenly father told me he’ll guide me out of my situation and set a new course to my freedom. Heed to my voice, avoid the danger ahead of you, heed to my voice, believe in God and his son, Jesus Christ, will guide you through your darkness moments.”, Eliza sings before she continues to play her own melody.

Eliza was zoning into her music style and no fear has entered her mind after singing gives her courage to hear her voice until she senses someone was coming downstairs and she was prepared to fight for her life on Earth as a follower of Christianity. Katherine walks downstairs to the diner room, hears Eliza playing the piano, she thought her music was beautiful as a rose, and decides to join her for a little chinwag. She taps Eliza on the shoulder to get her attention, she turns around to see Katherine walking in her white pyjamas and holding a candle light on her right hand.

“Katherine, I didn’t know you were awake.”, Eliza said as she paused playing the piano.

“Don’t stop, darling, it’s a lovely song, what made you play such lovely music, Eliza?”, Katherine said as she budged up with Eliza on the piano seat.

“I woke up from a nightmare, it was insane that my mother and I never escaped from father, I never get to meet my grandparents, those hellhounds killed my mother, I was forced to do bids for my father, and then I gave birth to a son before I was cast away to the hellhounds and died. I couldn’t wake up Jacob because he has a lot on his mind too and I helped myself into the diner room to play the piano to clear my mind off.”, Eliza said before she felt her fear coming back in her mind.

“It’s okay, you’re safe, Eliza, and no creature will take you because of such greed that your father made a deal a long time ago; I remember when my mother had to deal with my father every day before and after I was born, he doesn’t like the idea to have a daughter, however, rather have a son to take over the kingdom. My husband was a traveller who was able to access inside the kingdom and was almost executed for trespassing until my mother declared he was her new adviser.”, Katherine said.

“How did you live day by day as a princess?”, Eliza asked.

“It was hard, the servers who were bloody kind to me and my mother are treating me like slaves and every night, me, my mother, and our piano instructor, will teach me a new melody to play on the Harp. Those were the most memorable I have with my mother before she passed away, at least she didn’t die by my father’s tortures, and she lived in peace after my husband cast my father into the outland of the kingdom.”, Katherine said.

“Did you find out what happened to your father?”, Eliza asked.

“I haven’t found out what happened to my father, however, one of the hunters reported to me and my husband that there was a dead body from Northeast of the outland. They believed it was the former king, however, they’re not positive it was the former king due to the body melted within on the ground from the blasting heat, and then my husband held a ceremony where my father could have peace, knowing that his ways was never meant to harm his people and tries to accept his mistakes before he could move on to Heaven. I was taught that people with revenge inside their heart, their soul will float around Earth until he or she is ready to move on into Heaven.”, Katherine said.

“I understand.”, Eliza said.

“I see how my son is butchering you, he loves you, he cares for you, and he would rather fight for you than live in an immortal prison because I have seen him break down before. Every time he sees a woman with her husband and their children, he goes on his own path, refrains his mind from drinking alcohol, always heads to the gym 24/7, and returns flat the following morning. You know, Eliza, I can sense that you want to revenge on the leader of the dark forces because they place a cursed on your family, causing your mother to suffer her faith, and you saved her by escaped to your grandparents’ flat in New York, however, like I said before, revenge shouldn’t be anyone’s priority before family.”, Katherine said before she touches Eliza’s cheek.

“Have you ever thought of taking revenge against your father?”, Eliza said as she butchers at Katherine’s eyes.

“I was when he sent a young prince to kill my husband until he won the duel and took the prince as his youngest brother. He was married to a beautiful lady from another kingdom, and they have children. I realized there was no need to avenge my husband if he keeps telling me not to listen to the voices of evil, and I advise anyone to not cause harm on themselves, especially you and Olivia.”, Katherine said as she butchers at Eliza’s eyes.

“Thank you for being a lovely woman to me, I think I’m ready to go back to sleep, and I hope Jacob doesn’t wake up to find… How long did you listen to us chinwag?”, Eliza said as she was surprised by Jacob standing at the corner of the stairs.

“For a while, after my mother woke me up from the nightmare, she told me that she’s hearing someone playing the piano, we walked downstairs slowly to avoid the attention, and we saw you playing the piano.”, Jacob said.

“How did you like my melody?”, Eliza asked as her face was a little blushing.

“I see your face blushing and your melody was the most beautiful music I ever listened to.”, Jacob said as he came close to Eliza.

“Thank you, I was telling Katherine that my mind’s clear and ready to go back to sleep before I get zonked in the morning.”, Eliza said before Jacob helped her off the piano seat.

“Thank you for helping us off the piano seat, darling, and we should all go back to bed before anyone else wakes up from our chinwag. Goodnight, angels, heavenly dreams.”, Katherine said before she walks upstairs to her room.

“Good night, Katherine, heavenly dreams.”, Eliza said.

“Good night, mother, heavenly dreams.”, Jacob said.

They walk back into the bedroom, Jacob took off his shirt to avoid sweating through the night, Eliza was checking on her hair to make sure it doesn’t become tangling, and then Jacob crawled on the bed and kissed her exposed neck as he held her arms to keep her straight. She moans softly, turns around to butcher at his eyes before she leans in to kiss him, Jacob undress her shirt to expose her chest and laid her down on the bed, she feels his presence from her neck to her stomach as he was kissing down her body, and she thought this is the meaning of true love. After 10 minutes, Jacob watches Eliza fall asleep before he kisses her hand and goes to sleep with his body close in on her body, and prayed that her family were no harm inside the Netherworld.

The mother hellhound was enjoying her meal as her daughters were chinwag random topics until the dark witch entered her chamber and her daughters growled toward her because their sisters were getting killed during the invasion. The mother hellhound wasn’t pleased because her meal was interrupted by a careless witch she has been supporting over the last 300 years.

“Care to explain why you have interrupted my meal? It was so bloody delicious that a careless creature doesn’t read the sign saying `` Do Not Disturb While Meal Time.“, mother hellhound said.

“Since when do you have a sign saying don’t disturb your meal? Anyway, the time has come to according, the evil lord continues to torture the former commander and demands hellhounds to finish the job. What he doesn’t know is that his time as lord of the Netherworld is over and we can rule this realm together.“, the dark witch said.

“Finally, waiting for 300 years for your plan to become in action, so zonked of his useless plans to capture the escaped children and the royal family that my daughters are killed because of them!“, mother hellhound said impatiently before she wipes off the blood on her lips.

“Don’t worry, my milady, your daughters will no longer be in danger and we can rule this realm together like we always discuss.“, the dark witch said as she approached mother hellhound and down on her knees.

“What’s your true reason for entering my chamber, darling?“, mother hellhound said before she kissed the dark witch.

“I’m always checking on you, my milady, and other than he wanted more hellhounds.“, the dark witch said with a sinful smile.

“Hmmm, I see… How are you going to kill the evil lord? Haven’t you forgot that he cannot be destroyed and he’s pure unknown evil spirit releases the world of chaos and darkness?“, mother hellhound said as she moved her hand up and down the dark witch’s cheek.

“I haven’t forgotten about that part, but like any dark spirit, their fate was determined through this weapon I found in Prince Samuel’s room, it was an ancient weapon use to heal a soul or send a soul into Heaven or Netherworld, and it was known as the Spear of Life.“, the dark witch said as she showed the weapon to her milady.

“It’s a beautiful weapon, darling, I wonder why this child has the weapon in his room.“, mother hellhound said as she felt an enormous amount of magic inside the weapon with her hand touching the blade.

“The child’s father, King Solomon, found out that the evil lord possessed his body and feared he’d locate the weapon to use against humanity. He was bloody smart by blindfolded his eyes and handed the weapon to his son without the evil lord using his eyes.“, the dark witch said.

“Hmmm, I see, shall we head down to the chamber, I’ll bring some of my daughters with me in case he tries to be sneaky.“, mother hellhound before she picks some of her daughters to escort them to his chamber.

“This is it, ladies, the evil lord will no longer torture us with his tricks and we’ll rule this realm together as a pack.“, the dark witch said before she, mother hellhound, and the hellhounds burst laughing as they head to his chamber.

The moment they all waiting for since the beginning of time, the evil lord will fallen on her knees and burn in the blue flames in Netherworld, the mother hellhound was relief and concern at the same time for the dark witch’s fate has changed as she will keep her promise that her daughters are no longer in danger, the dark witch smirk as she kept walking and found new friends that she can trust to follow her ordinary plan…

Kill the evil lord.

Kill every creature who stands in her path to become the new lord.

Control all the realms to become the ultimate lord of the universe: Netherworld, Earth, and Heaven.

Olivia’s Diary

March 6, 2011

Dear Madam Diary,

The sunrise was the most beautiful discovery I ever witnessed for a long time, it reminds me of peace and harmony with the animals of the Nature world. Anyway, after last night’s surprise attack by the hellhounds, we decided to teleport the flat to Norwich, England. However, we accidentally crushed another flat that was hundreds of years old, cleaned up the mess before anyone spotted us, and pretended we owned this space for a while. James’ voice became a little frightened after he explained what happened over the phone with grandmother, Eliza’s family was taken by the dark forces and held in prison, and Jacob found his soulmate with Eliza. Right now, we’re butchering for jobs to support our food and shelter, focus on saving our loved ones, our flat, and free King Solomon from his prison of slumber. Until next time, have a good morning.

Love

Olivia

As soon as she closed her diary, knocking on her door gave her a spook, she quickly hid her diary, and pretended to read her spellbook on Levitation spells. Lillian enters the room as she saw Olivia reading her spellbook like a good swot sorceress, she was holding a special treasure that kept her survive over the years and like to share her moments with someone who has a passion for writing.

“Good morning, love, I hope you sleep well through the night.”, Lillian said as she placed the box on the ground.

“Good morning, Lillian, I slept great, except for two couples having their private session where I can hear everything they do to each other. I think everyone had the love lurgy last night.”, Olivia said as she closed her spellbook.

“Well, someday, you’ll find a man that won’t use you as their puppet, and we should be happy for our brothers because they care for their milady.”, Lillian said as she budgeted with Olivia on the bed.

“I appreciate the confidence, however, it just happens so fast that one day James and Sarah move to their own flat, get married, and have children. I’ll probably be the single Aunt who’s going to answer questions about my relationship status to my future nieces and nephews.”, Olivia said.

“Don’t be wally, of course you’ll find such a lovely man, marry him, and have children together. You’re not going to be alone forever and only the most insane people live alone or hide their true personality, get married, and have children with their significant other.”, Lillian said as she held Olivia’s hand.

“That’s true. What’s inside the box?”, Olivia said before she butchers at the box.

“Well… I would like to share with you my collection of diaries from 1322 to present day. I was lucky enough to bring my diaries with me to avoid the dark forces finding information about us or the weapon or the kingdom.”, Lillian said as she opened the box.”

Olivia was gobsmacked at the amount of diaries Lillian carried since the invasion of the kingdom, she went through one diary at the time without reading her diary entry, and was counting the number of diaries inside the box.

“Bloody hell, it could be thousands of diaries! How’s possible you were able to carry your diaries from the kingdom to the outside world?”, Olivia said as she continues to pick up each diary.

“Let’s say I was blessed with strength and the Lord gave me the strength to carry the most private information that he would prevail if someone tries to nick. I was eight years old when my parents gave me my first diary, my mother used to write diaries until the day she married my father, and when we lost our father, she began to write diaries again. My father was a traveller since he was a little child, he used to carry a journal inside his brown travel bag and he would write an entry about his experience with God, his beliefs in the Lord Saviour Jesus Christ, and his discovery about the world. I always dream of becoming a book author and sharing my stories through fantasy worlds without them knowing about my actual story in my life.”, Lillian said.

“I see, bless your heart, Lillian, and I pray your dream will come true in Jesus name, Amen.”, Olivia said before she handed the diary back to Lillian.

“In Jesus name, Amen. Thank you, love, for being a good listener and good sister to me.”, Lillian said as she placed her diary back inside the box and closed the box.

“You’re welcome, I have a few names for the title of your book, my first thought was the title should be called The Life of Princess Grace, my second thought was the title should be called The Age of Royal Blood, my third though was the title should be called The Royal Blood of Throne.”, Olivia said.

“The Age of Royal Blood? Sounds interesting title, love, I’ll have to think about it.”, Lillian said.

“Lillian, how are you feeling now since you met us?”, Olivia asked.

“Oh, well, ever since we met you all, our lives are getting better and interesting to have such lovely guests, we all became family to never let anyone feel let out, and of course you saw how your brother and my sister began to spend time together, and Jacob spent his time with Eliza. My mother loves Thomas the moment she meets his puppy eyes, and I have to spend my time with Harry, especially since he’s a puppy now, who makes a dog’s dinner on the bed or on the floor.”, Lillian said before she and Olivia laughed.

“Oh…”, Olivia said as she continued to listen to Lillian.

“Although there were days that I felt depressed from losing the kingdom and my father until Samuel gave me instructions to read Mark Chapter 11 verse 24 and Second Corinthians Chapter five verse seven until I stopped letting these negative emotions enter my mind.”, Lillian said.

“Oh, I understand what you have gone through, however, at the end, you haven’t lost your siblings or your mother. The most important thing is that you keep your faith with God at all times and keep your faith in Jesus Christ no matter what because they can protect you and your family from harm.”, Olivia said before she hugs Lillian.

“I appreciate your words, Olivia, you like a little sister to me, and I pray that James and Sarah get married soon after this war is over.”, Lillian said.

“I agree and… I think we got a puppy spy at my door.”, Olivia said before Lillian walked to the door.

Lillian opens the door to see Harry using his puppy face to enter the room without being kicked out and Thomas was there to watch his moves as they enter Olivia’s bedroom, Harry was wearing a business suit that is custom for talking puppies, and Thomas helps him get onto the bed and butcher at Olivia.

“Please, tell me that you’re going to a talent dog’s show, otherwise I think you butcher like a puppy ready to work at human businesses.”, Olivia said before she burst out laughing.

“Ha, ha, bloody funny, mate. I was waiting patiently for everyone to come downstairs for important announcement, however, it sees everyone has their own interest things to do with their significant other, expect for Jessica, she was watching Aurther reading Annabella her history books, Samuel was studying his Bible, and Katherine felt a bit lurgy today, so I didn’t want to bother her.”, Harry said.

“Did you sleep well last night, Thomas?”, Olivia said as she patted his head.

“Yes, Katherine was feeling ill last night and I gave her a cup of tea that me and Lillian made some before we went to bed, and Harry has to sleep on the cold floor from his previous incident on the bed.”, Thomas said.

“I say I was sorry, mate, for spending a penny on the bed last night. I promise I won’t do it anymore, it’s just that I’m not a puppy at birth, I’m half-werewolf, half-sorcerer, and one-fourth of human in my blood.”, Harry said before he began to sound sad and hid his face.

“I forgave you this morning, my love, however, we still need to train you on your number one and number two, okay.”, Lillian said before Harry licks her hand.

“Okay, my sweet Lily.”, Harry said.

“You know what, I’ll help you gather everyone to the diner room for your special announcement, and Katherine can remain in her room until she feels better to move around. Come on, let’s bother James and Sarah first before Jacob and Eliza.”, Olivia said before they all exit her room.

Lillian shows directions to Sarah’s room, as they get closer to her room, immediately they hear moaning, and Olivia tells Thomas to grab Jessica, Annabelle, and Aurther to the diner room for an important announcement. As Thomas leaves to do what his big sister says, Lillian, Harry, and Olivia place their ear on her door to listen to whatever is going on inside Sarah’s room. They could hear Sarah moaning James’ name multiple times as she say sexuality phrases and James say sexuality phrases toward her beauty, Harry want to vomit outside her room, Lillian couldn’t believe that her little sister has finally got the guts to expose her body to her man, and Olivia want to vomit along with Harry. A few moments later, Olivia decided to play a trick by pretending to be her father’s voice and demands to speak to him about his strange behaviour.

“James William Archer, you have five seconds to answer me what’s going on inside that young lady’s room!!”, Olivia said in her father’s voice as she bangs on the door.

“Oh, bloody hell, when did my parents get here? Quickly, we must put back on our clothes before my father becomes furious and bursts through the door. Nothing’s going on, father, I didn’t hear you and mother come in!!”, James said as he shook to find his clothes on the ground.

“It better be nothing going on inside that young lady’s room, you know better not to have sex with unmarried woman until you actually got marry, son!! Now come out to hug me and your mother!!”, Olivia said in her father’s voice.

“Yes, sir, I’m… I’m coming out!!”, James said as he’s putting on his clothes.

As James opens the door, seeing Olivia and Harry laughing hard on the floor,and he was confused about what’s going on, Sarah thought his father was outside their room until she saw her sister laughing to herself and Olivia and Harry laughing on the floor like they couldn’t get up. James and Sarah butcher each other for a moment until Jacob and Eliza leg it to Sarah’s room to see what’s going on.

“Bloody hell, Olivia, I thought you were our father!! What’s wrong with you?!“, James said as he placed his hands on his head.

“Nothing’s wrong with me, you all avoid Harry’s special announcement, and it’s my job to make sure he gets the attention from you all.“, Olivia said before she burst out laughing.

“I told that puppy five more minutes with Sarah. We were chinwagging about our future as husband and wife, having four children, and owning our business shop.“, James said.

“Five more minutes became twenty minutes later, mate! Unless you two were having too much fun lately that you forgot about the object here and why we came here to the flat, James!“, Harry said impatiently before his eyes turned bloody red.

“Okay, puppy’s getting angry, I’ll take him to the diner room and… Mother, when did you…?“, Lillian said before everyone turns their attention to Katherine.

“Oh, mother, we were…“, Sarah said before she paused to butcher James for a second.

“Forgive us for disturbing your sleep, Katherine, we know you have been sick since last night and..“, Olivia said before Katherine silenced her words.

“Shhh, it’s okay, darling, no one has disturbing sleep until I heard multiple rage voices that need to be talked out of.“, Katherine said as she was butchering at everyone’s eyes.

“We understand, mother, and we’re sorry for raising our voice toward each other. Father will be furious if we argue against each other, then we’re not ourselves.“, Jacob said.

“I appreciate the apology, Jacob, and why are you not wearing a shirt, darling?“, Katherine said before everyone’s laughing softly.

“Oh have mercy, I forgot to put on my shirt this morning when Eliza and I ran to Sarah’s room to check on them.“, Jacob said as his face was blushing.

“For heaven’s sake, what’s going on downstairs?! I hear noise that the sound of the dark voices whispers in my ears and I rebuke in the name of Jesus to cast out of dark forces into the Netherworld, in Jesus name, Amen. Why’s everyone butchering at me like I was…? Oh have mercy on me, my lord, as I commit a sin to show off my half-naked body toward my family.“, Samuel said before his face was blushing.

Everyone burst out laughing toward Samuel for not knowing he was wearing his special boxer without covering himself, except for Katherine, who she nodded her disappointment to her sons and Lillian covered her and Harry’s eyes to avoid butchering at Samuel’s shining half-naked body. A few moments later, Katherine told everyone to meet her at the diner room for a chinwag, and her expression creates a silent atmosphere in front of the children as they walk downstairs. When everyone has a seat at the table, Katherine begins to take a deep breath for five seconds before she can speak.

“I don’t know what’s going on earlier, however, this isn’t proper behaviour that my children taught by me or their father, or taught by your parents, darlings. Promise me that you’ll all get along until this war is over, and we can all be our separate ways, understand?“, Katherine said before she heard everyone understand her condition.

“Good, now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going back to take a nap.“, Katherine said before she gets up from her seat.

“Thomas, guide my mother to her bedroom, please.“, Sarah said before Thomas got up from his seat and held Katherine’s hand.

As Thomas guided Katherine to her bedroom, Aurther and Annabelle were sent to their rooms by Olivia, and now Harry got their full attention about his good news.

“Well, that’s it, anyway, I found us a job to do within three days and they’ll pay us 30,00 quids to redo their flat. They already provide us the tools we need to complete within three days.“, Harry said.

“Where did you meet these people at?“, Eliza asked.

“It was the other day, Lillian and I went on a morning walk around the village, we came across an old house in the woods, and we saw a post saying hiring painters immediately for 30,000 quids, and that’s where I got the idea for us to become painters. Suddenly, an eldery couple came out of nowhere and asked us a bunch of codswallop questions, and we told them that we’ll be happy to help the following afternoon.“, Harry said.

“Why did you tell the eldery couple that we’ll be happy to help without our consult, Harry? My other question is why you’re wearing a business suit for working puppies?“, James asked.

“One, I can wear a business custom suit for a puppy, and two, we need a job to support our food and water supplies.“, Harry said.

“Harry made a good point, instead of arguing with each other, we should have been butchering for jobs, and Harry saved us by the eldery couple offering 30,000 quids to redo their flat within three days.“, Jessica said.

“I agree with Jessica and Harry, we need to blend in as if we live here or we’ll be put as suspects on their blacklist.“, Samuel said.

“Okay, I agree with you, brother.“, Jacob said.

“We all agree to do the job as long as we ’re still outside after nightfall, okay.” James said.

“We’ll go at two in the afternoon and be flat before nightfall.“, Harry said.

Four past two…

It was the brightest day that the village has experience with the power of heat through the sun as the temperature rises to 37 degrees Celsius, the birds are flying toward a cool shade to prevent their bodies from overheating or they’ll become fried foods, the people were doing their best to cool down from the blasting fire of death as they travel to their destination, and the plants were so dry that their living nutrients is no longer producing growth and it turns to crumble pieces like cooked kale. James, Olivia, Jessica, Jacob, Eliza, Sarah, and Samuel were heading toward the flat in the woods to meet the owners of the old-age flat for further instructions, and everyone was ready to go back flat as soon as the heat hit their body. When they get to the flat, they see no sign of the owners, and they wonder whether Harry gave them the wrong directions or something doesn’t seem right.

“Oh have mercy, I have to take my shirt off before it carries an extended amount of dirty sweat.”, Samuel said as he took his shirt off and placed it on the ground.

“I agree with you, Samuel, and the last thing I need is to smell like a homeless man who hasn’t showered for three months.”, Jacob said as he took his shirt off and placed it on the ground.

“I’m going to take my shirt off, at least the ladies come prepared to wear a comfortable shirt to wear without sweating off.”, James said as he took his shirt off and placed it on the ground.

“It’s called know-your-fashion design for any weather condition and you gentlemen know that women know their fashion more than men do. I swear to God that Harry better not set us up with a crazy manic couple who thinks we’re doing their dirty work for the next three days.”, Olivia said as she blocks the heat with her arm.

“I think this is a great opportunity to connect with nature, so this isn’t a bad idea for Harry to send us.”Eliza said before she smelled the nature’s beauty.

“Eliza made a point, we spend too much with material items like electronics, Television, or stay-in doors. However, I think Harry should come with us instead of staying in-doors with Lillian, Katherine, Annabelle, and Thomas.”, Jessica said.

“I agree, nature is the most beautiful discovery on Earth, even the smallest plant can grow into a beautiful and unique plant.”, Sarah said.

“Hello, children, we’re sorry to keep you waiting. So you all must be our painters for the job, is that correct?”, the elder woman said as she and her husband approached the children.

“Holy mercy, when did you walk from, madam?”, Samuel asked as he placed his hand on his chest.

“We just came from the coffee shop, right, dear?”, the elder woman said.

“Right, dear, we woke up this morning to grab a couple of coffees with a side of a delicious breakfast meal.”, the elder man said.

“Oh we understand, sir, and…”, James said before he was interrupted by Olivia.

“It’s after two and you got coffees and breakfast at what time?”, Olivia said as she crossed her arms.

“Well, um, let’s see… We got up at 10 in the morning and then went to the coffee shop at 12.”, the elder woman said as she scratched her head.

“Forgive my sister, she’s a bit rough on the edge and…”, James said before he was interrupted by Olivia again.

“First of all, I’m not rough on the edge, brother and secondly, who spends more than 30 minutes in the coffee shop? Unless you two were planning to do something than us working on redoing your entire flat that butcher like a bog-standard hasn’t touched since the 1850s.”, Olivia said.

“Of course not, wally little girl, why are we nice older people who would hurt children for?”the elder man said as he held his wife’s hand.

“Maybe you hear a story called Hansel and Gretel were trapped inside the witch’s candy house and they were her secret ingredients to her pie.”, Samuel said.

“Really, brother, you think that these lovely couple are going to turn us into a pie?“, Jacob asked.

“Yes, I believe so.“, Samuel said.

“Oh bloody madness…“, Jacob said as he placed his hand on his forehead and nodded his head in disappointment toward Samuel. Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Madam, sir, we apologize for our strange behaviour today, we’ll have your flat finished before the three-day time period.“, James said.

“How lovely, young man, we appreciate all the help we could get, especially young men like you.“, the elder woman said as she slightly smiled.

“Take care now, we’ll see you after six, children. Thank you.“, the elder man said before they walked to the village.

The group walk inside the flat, they were gobsmacked the amount of damage inside than outside, there were two floors that butcher like a tornado hits their flat in 1970s, the stairs connects between the floors are cracked in half like someone has pushed down a 500-pound person downstairs to the ground, and the kitchen area butchers a disaster for upgrade.

“Okay, whose idea for a puppy took charge of us and our job description?“, James said as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead.

“Be quiet, James, at least Harry got us out of the flat, and we need to figure out what tools we have available to use for repair and repaint the flat.“, Olivia said as she butchers around the flat.

“We found some tools, they were hidden inside the elder closet near the kitchen area.“, Samuel said as he and Jessica lift the heavy tool box and place it on the ground.

“Sounds great, let’s see we’re working with.“, Jacob said before he opens the toolbox.

“Bloody hell, these tools are not going to be much help.“, Olivia said.

“What do you mean, Olivia? I think there’s plenty of tools to use for repair and painting.“, Sarah said.

“I’m not sure if these tools are edible to use, I mean what is this tool? Combination between hammer and screwdriver?“, Eliza said as she held the strange tool.

“What kind of tool is this?“, James said as he holds a tool with several nails attached to the Power Drill.

“I’m not sure, however, checked out this bog-standard colour paint we’re limited to.” Jessicia said as she pulled out eight different paint colours of the toolbox.

“You gotta be kidding me?! The only colours were limited to are red, blue, green, red, white, and blue. How do they live in this condition?“, Olivia said as she before she searched for the paint brushes.

“Don’t bother to butcher for the paint brush because we found them and the size are not the proper ones for flats.“, James said as he held a small size paint brush.

“Okay, here’s the plan, me and Eliza will work on the second floor, James, Sarah, and Samuel will work on the first floor, and Olivia and Jessica will work on the outside of the flat.“, Jacob said.

“Sounds like a plan, Jacob, let’s get to work, and hope that we’ll finish at least half of the flat by six in the evening.“, Olivia said before she and Jessica walk outside of the flat.

Before they could do any painting, they’ll need to repair the flat, however, the major problem is the tools they were given by the owners are not edible to use, and they come to include to use their energy magic to fix everything in split seconds. After the flat was repaired, they could start painting the flat, Olivia was thinking of painting the outside of the flat with red and white, and James and Eliza were thinking of painting the entire walls and ceiling white and green inside the rooms.

Four hours later…

Katherine was enjoying playing the piano while she saw Lillian was enjoying reading Little Red Riding Hood to Annabelle, Aurther, and Thomas. She was thinking about the children since they left this morning and then she saw Harry try to lift himself up on the piano seat and enjoy listening to her music. A few moments, Harry sounds sad as he sees his milady reading Little Red Riding Hood to Aurther, Thomas, and Annabelle, and he hides his face with his little paws.

“What’s wrong, Harry? Are you feeling okay?“, Katherine said before she paused her piano.

“Yes, It’s just whenever Lillian spends time with Annabelle, Thomas, and Aurther, I always wonder if she wants to be a mother. As a mother of four wonderful children, have you ever thought your children want to become parents?“, Harry said as he walked over to Katherine’s lap and rested his head on her.

“Always. When they were young, their father and I had discussions with them about becoming responsible parents to their own children and marrying the right one before sealing their love to their significant others. I thought we were going to expand our family in the kingdom, until the day my husband’s possession ruined our future for our people and our family. I wasn’t sure if they wanted to have children after hundreds of years as an immortal. The day I could reunite with my husband is the day that our kingdom could restore its magic from the dark forces and my husband could still be their king.“, Katherine said.

“I see… Do you believe that Lillian wanted to be with me or she’s with me because of something else she has in mind?“, Harry said.

“Harry, she loves you and she gives herself a chance to start dating again, although I must say this, you’re only 13 years old and my daughter has a thing for men with passion through their soul. I believe you two will be a great couple no matter how many years apart you are.” Katherine said before Harry licks her hand.

“I appreciate your words, Katherine, I wish you could meet my mother, she’s desperate to meet new friends as her former friends abandoned her a long time ago.“, Harry said.

“It’ll be my pleasure to meet your mother someday and… oh, welcome flat, children, how was your day rebuilding the flat in the woods.“, Katherine said as she sees the children butchering zonked and sweating.

“I don’t understand why men sweat so quickly than women, mother. Please excuse me, I have to take a clean shower before I become a homeless man.“, Samuel said before he walked upstairs.

“Now that Samuel’ holding the shower for the next couple of hours, how was your day, mother?“, Jacob said as he wiped off the sweat on his forehead.

“It was lovely, darling, seeing Lillian was reading the classic Little Red Riding Hood to Annabelle, Thomas, and Author while I was playing the piano.“, Katherine said.

“Sounds like you have a better day than us, Katherine. We met the owners who gave us improper tools used to repair the flat before painting it. For a human, probably going to take them a couple days of repair, for us, took us 30 minutes with little energy magic, and we got half of the flat done for today.“, James said.

“Hmmm, I see. Did anything else happen today?“, Katherine said.

“Yes, the owners were ten minutes late because they got themselves coffee a couple of hours before they are supposed to meet us. It sounds like a suspension to me, who goes for coffee and a little snack and leaves a couple of hours later.“, Olivia said.

“Well, that’s bloody… Do you mates hear that scream?“, Harry said before his ear raised an alert to his senses.

It was Samuel’s scream like a high-pitched note, everyone quickly ran upstairs to Samuel where his wet trail went from the bathroom to the studying room, James and Jacob burst through the door, and there were completely surrounded by hellhounds and other creatures of the Netherworld. In their thoughts, their journey was coming to an end and they were not sure how the world would be affected by the fate of the universe. They raise their hands up to avoid being killed or attack without thinking, except for Harry who he walked behind Lillian and Katherine as he stared to find the leader, however, the leader wasn’t there, and then he thought, what if someone else send them to their location or could he hid his identity from the human eyes. There was a moment of silence between the creatures and the group until Olivia was alert that she recognized a person that was hidden between one of the hellhounds and an ogre, and she was questioning herself whether or not she was with them or against them.

After 30 minutes tortured his former commander with more sinful tricks, the dark witch returned inside his chambers with six hellhounds and the mother hellhound beside her, and the evil lord wasn’t kind or had time to be patient with his assistant.

“Where the hell have you been, witch?!! I was literally waiting for your fat ass to return with hellhounds and… What are you doing here, mother hellhound? I specifically say hellhounds, witch, not the mother of all hellhounds!! For my sake,just return her to her chamber and…“, the evil lord said before he was interrupted by the mother hellhound.

“If you dare try to do something stupid toward me, I’ll have your blood, your magic, and your throne, and I become the lord of the Netherworld, while your soul suffers an eternal burning at the torture chamber along with the rest of the humans. Do I make myself clear?“, mother hellhound said as she approached and butchers into his soul through his eyes.

“Crystal clear, you know you have been… nevermind, let’s get this over with it, shall we?“, the evil lord before he laughs hysterical.

“We shall kill him by now, why is that witch waiting for?”, hellhound #1 whispers to hellhound #4.

“I agree, probably for more personal timing for herself.”, hellhound #4 whispers to hellhound #1.

“Now my old friend, any last words before your fate? I’ll love to see you at the torture chamber again, but this time, I’ll keep an close eye on you.”, the evil lord said before he laughs hysterical.

“Laugh all you want, it doesn’t change the fact that you’ll never gain control of the realms because your enemy will defeat you every day until you bow down to his majesty. He’s king of kings, king of queens, king of lords, and king of everlasting life.”, the former commander said.

The evil lord laughs hysterical as he doesn’t believe his enemy is his king, he’s his own king who runs the Netherworld since the day he and his army were banned from Heaven, and demand the creatures to show respect or they’ll be torture for the rest of eternity. Then he approached him with his final words as the dark witch cast a spell to appear the Spear of Life and slowly approached the evil lord before he turned around.

“You know, commander, the souls of your family was my greatest achievement since I consumed a family of 12 after I crashed their transportation into the trees. The day I was getting ready to consume your family’s souls was the day I lost my commander of the dark forces and his eyes were wide open to where he could see the difference between good and evil. I thought I had you this time, but once again, you dodged my poison attacks, and you wanted out of this world. That’s too bad for you because your death is coming now… Hellhounds, finish this homeless man and… Ow, what the hell…?”, the evil lord said before he saw a weapon stab through his lower stomach.

“You’re days as the lord of the Netherworld is over and now there will be a new lord risen from the ground of forgotten into the high throne of all evil.”, the dark witch said as she slightly smiled.

“Dark witch, what is it through my soul? Wait a minute, how did you contain that weapon?”, the evil lord said before he was coughing blood.

“It doesn’t matter because I’m sending the dark soul back into the Netherworld and as for the former king, I’ll let him live for another day.”, the dark witch said before she pulls the weapon out of the stomach.

The evil lord was on his knees, hearing voices going out of control, and can feel the two souls fighting to be as one; the dark witch sits back as she witness the dark soul cast outside of the body and dragged by the hands of fire into the Netherworld, and the former king fell on the ground unconscious after slumber for hundreds of years. The dark witch laughs softly, ordering the hellhounds to clean up the mess and take the commander to the prison basement at the kingdom, along with the prisoners, before she makes an exit. The mother hellhound was curious to know what her actual plans for the Netherworld, could it be that she wants full control of the three realms or she wants to become a higher level demon that can overpower her demonic level as the mother of all hellhounds. She returns to her chamber to wait for her daughter’s return safely, she grabs a sacred book that was forbidden in the living world a long time ago, she opens to the page where it talks about the ceremony of electing a lord, and she begins to read to know more about the ceremony.

Outside the woods of Norwich, the elder woman was walking back to her flat after grabbing snacks until she heard a sound coming from behind the flat. She placed the snacks on the front door, grabbed the blade inside her dress pocket, and slowly walked around to the back of the flat. As soon she felt ready to stab whoever was making noise, she came out of her hiding, only to be found that her partner was in his original form with food all over the ground. She decided to transform into her original form, quickly grab the snacks from the front door, and smoke a fag as they relax at the back of the flat.

“Tell me again, why do we work for this evilless lord, Selena?”, Robert said as he snacks on the food.

“First of all, stop snacking while you speaking, secondly, we’re worked for that useless lord because we don’t need to be tortured by his tricks everyday, thirdly, he’s going to pay us 10,000 quids for capture the royal family and the escaped children alive, and fourth, I’m not going back into the Netherworld and have my ass on the floor with idiots creatures.”, Selena said before she smoke a fag.

“Oh, I see, but tell me, do you think it’s going to be ice cream and sweet to capture them?”, Robert said.

“Of course not, you idiot! That girl was smart to be suspended around us and I can’t believe I told that story to them why we were in the coffee shop for two hours, I should have kept my original story about visiting a family member to the hospital. The worst part is that these children are warriors and they can sense us if we were out of character and we got two more days before…”, Selena said before she sensed hellhounds in their distance.

Robert and Selena went to the front of the flat, saw an army of hellhounds with growling faces toward them, and Selena laughed off their ricidious faces. The hellhounds were confused as to why she was laughing at them, but the mother of all hellhounds approached them to confess the change of their mission.

“You might want to stop laughing now, darling, because this is no laughing matter.”, mother hellhound said.

“Are you talking to me, mother hellhound?! Have you forgotten that you’re not my mother?! What foolish you have disturb our mission, old woman?”, Selena said before the hellhounds were snarling toward her.

“It’s okay, my darlings, she doesn’t mean no harsh words toward me, she just needs a little adjustment to her lifestyle. Has your mother taught you some manners, child?”, mother hellhound said as she butchers in Selena’s eyes.

“No mean to par, I don’t fall for your simple tricks, mother hellhound, and I suggest that…”, Selena said before she was interrupted by Robert.

“Oh, hot ladies, I want to screw with them, Selena.”, Robert said as his mouth was drooling on the ground and watching the hellhounds.

“Since when do we allow an idiot shapeshifter to screw with us?”, hellhound #1 said before she and her sisters were laughing.

“I’ll tell you something, boy, if you come close to our distance, we’ll eat you for lunch and dinner, and bury your skeleton bones in our chamber.”, hellhound #5 said before she and her sisters were laughing.

“For the love of sake, Robert, can I get through this chinwag without your dumb mouth speaking?! If you want to live, then keep your distance away from them!”, Selena said before she turns her attention to the mother hellhound.

“Really, darling, just let him die, and come back with me as my new daughter.”, mother hellhound said.

“You know what, just tell me your reason why you’re here or get out of our way.”, Selena said as she stares into the mother hellhound’s eyes.

“Bloody well, I’m here such news that the evil lord is no longer alive, however, I got new orders from the future lord of the Netherworld, the dark witch, and she want you both to report to her lair in the kingdom.”, the mother hellhound said.

“So the useless lord is dead?”, Robert asked.

“So you’re telling me that the dark witch killed him because she wants the throne? Wow, surprisingly I thought she was a worthless witch to begin with and she is still as long as she keeps using you and… Robert! Get back behind me before you become…”, Selena said as she witnessed her partner getting eaten by the hellhounds.

Robert sneaks over his partner to the hellhounds as she continues to chinwag with the mother hellhound and immediately he got off guard when his partner spotted him sneaking over to the hellhounds, and then he was grabbed, pinned down on the ground, and eaten alive as the hellhounds ripe his flesh and blood from his body. Within minutes, his body became skeleton bones, the hellhounds were covered in his blood and they tasted his blood like plain sweet candy. Selena felt vulunable after she witnessed her partner’s death, the mother hellhound came behind her with her neck up and the blade at the neck, and she spoke her final words before taking her in.

“You know, darling, he was useless to you, however, I can see you’re a good use to me, and you’ll obey my commands or suffer the consequences. Understand?”, the mother hellhound said as she guided Selena toward the portal.

After the group got captured and were sent to the prison basement at the kingdom, the dark witch ordered the dark forces to attack the village of Norwich to grab as many souls as possible, and she went inside her new chamber at the kingdom to speak to her friends inside her mind. They advise her to undergo the plan of her ceremony to be perfect and glamorous and never let her enemy get passby of her future awaits less than a month to go. The hellhound gave a report to the dark witch that they captured the shapeshifter and killed her partner, she smirked a bit and then she was escorted to her milady’s chamber to see the status whether she’ll be loyal to her or betray her and try to kill her.
