Narika: The Ghost Bride-Chapter 227 - Two Hundred And Twenty-Seven:If Not Fate.
"Im not sure this is going to work, she might not want to answer to me." Naomi said, looking at everyone.
It didn’t long for Cain to make it possible for her to be here, the situation was not a
funny one and to which she had to rush over, but not with Hendrix.
Hendrix hasn’t been able to get over the fact that he had lost the battle of winning Narika’s heart. Her having that baby was a change over and leaving with Lucifer where she belonged was something he couldn’t handle.
So, it was just her trying to talk to an angry Narika, who was likely not going to give her a listening ear since after the incident with her parents.
"It doesn’t matter at the moment, Naomi. My son’s life and Camille’s is in danger if truly it is what we are thinking of Lucifer is the truth." Alex urged her further, not caring about any goddamn consequence. He will gladly pay for any mistake that comes with doing this.
To which Naomi take a seat on the floor, after drawing a pentagram and sitting in the middle of it. Then did she start to mutter some words that were incoherent to the others but they said nothing but waited for their time to talk. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Meanwhile, Narika who was busy napping after having served the food nutrients to nurture her body back to the way it was before the child birth, she has also drank Adrik’s blood although she was still angry at him for what he did, but the stupid tradition in hell made her anxious, and giddy to learn more about witchcraft.
She didn’t know whether they were doing something to her and the baby, seeing as they were being fed blood on a steady basis, especially Ares. She just hasn’t adjusted to the changes of hell and having a knowledge about how things were runned around here would help her in protecting not just herself, but her son.
In the dreamland or the subconsciousness where she found herself, she turned to face Naomi who appeared after calling her name severally.
"Why are you calling me?" She demanded furiously, it was as if looking at her reminded her that she has contributed in separating her and Adrik. Which was the truth, if she hasn’t helped Lucifers kids, Adrik would have a chance experiencing every single step of her pregnancy with her.
That might be the reason for his annoyance ever since they came back, he hasn’t been able to touch their child aside from smile forcedly whenever she carried him, just so she wouldn’t notice that something was off with him.
But she’s no fool, and now seeing Naomi again made her remember all that has went down with her mother.
"I know you are angry, Narika but i need to to let me explain..." Naomi tried to come closer to her, but she snapped at her making her step halt, but not because she wanted to avoid her but because somehow Narika had used her powers on her without her knowing.
"Keep the explaination to yourself, I don’t care what my mother might have told you, but am not coming back." Narika said through gritted teeth.
Her anger making Naomi hiss from the compelling she has over her, and when she realized what she had done she moved back, allowing Naomi to fall to the floor coughing for breathe.
"That’s not what am here for, Narika, although that was included initially but I’m here for Adrian and Camille." Naomi said, standing up as there was a confused look plastered on her face hearing about her uncle.
"What’s wrong with uncle Adrian?" She asked, coming closer this time by her will to touch Naomi." What about aunt Camille?"
"Yesterday night, They were taken infront of the city’s hospital where they both had to do an ultrasound for Camille. She’s pregnant and is gone along with Adrian." Naomi explained.
"What do you mean gone? Gone to where exactly, tell me?" Narika demanded furiously, never in her life has she expected to hear this sort of news about him, especially about her uncle. If anything, she pities him hearing how his childhood was so whatever he was enjoying now, he deserves every thing that he’s enjoying.
"You tell me, it’s the same with what happened to Marilyn, Just like it is with Polina." Naomi said bitterly, before coming close to hold Narika’s hands." Lucifer has done something to them, and i can’t tell what it is because he’s not a witch so i can’t see what is happening but your grandfather isn’t planning on letting this slide, Camille is pregnant, he wants his children back including Polina."
"He asked me to tell you to let Lucifer know that he’s up for anything in exchange for his children and Camille." Naomi added, but everything was too much for Narika, because she knew that at this moment Lucifer won’t be able to do anything that would make her try to leave with Ares, so going after her uncle that’s not accepted.
"Woah! Wait, I don’t understand. How does Grandpa knows that Polina is alive?"
"He sees her in his sleep, she calls for his help Narika and i know that you know that she’s here. If only you can talk to..."
"I don’t know anything about why she’s here, I mean she tried to kill me so why would i want to save the likes of her?" She asked, remembering her time with both Polina and Sakura at Oregon’s palace.
"She’s your aunt nevertheless, but you have to be fast about Adrian and Camille, if you are willing to do that." Naomi said, her voice so low for her to know that she wishes that she would help her grandfather.
"Ofcourse, I will do anything for my uncle." Narika said, and a smile was replaced in Naomi’s face." I will get back to you." She tried to leave.
"Wait!" Naomi dragged her hand," there’s something you need to know incase this night come to use."
"What exactly?"
"Lucifer wasn’t the one who took them, it was another demon. I wasn’t able to confirm his identity but i guess the witch’s council would help. I’m just saying so you can know how to approach Lucider incase he’s not the one..."Naomi said but was interrupted by an unwilling Narika.
"No, it has to be him. There’s no two ways about that, everyone is under his control here he might have sent his minions, I will get back to you soon." Narika said before disappearing and she woke up from her sleep with a heavy heave that made Adrik who was sitting beside the bed watching her became worried.
"Baby, are you okay?" He asked, but the both of them were still having issues that she isn’t planning on over looking that easily. All she did was did a little hum to his question.
"I will be back." She said, without waiting for him to ask her more question then made her way towards the throne room where she’s sure Lucifer was.
He took away her uncle, how dare he?!
The anger surging within her bones wasn’t noticed by the guards, who were keeping guard by the door that tried banning her from entering.
"I’m sorry, but you can’t.." The first guard to talk to her was flung to the wall, when she raised her hand and the others didn’t do anything else to stop her, before she pushed her way into the room to find Lucifer who had company with an unfamiliar face.
A demon.
She could sense what the new face was.
"Sweetheart, I didn’t recall needing your presence here, how is Ares? Any problem in love land?" Lucifer’s question annoyed her the more she approached him close and much more closer that she raised her fist up to meet his face but it stilled in the air, typical smartass.
"I don’t remember doing anything to make you angry, little witch. So, to what do i owe this uncalled visitation?" He asked, before releasing her from his hold and she pushed at his chest.
"Where is he?" Narika demanded harshly, meanwhile Lucius who was with Lucifer moments ago did nothing but watched the little drama between the both of them unfold. He has been eager to meet the descendant of his father’s first love, and now looking at her made him realize what joy and recognition he would have from his father if he brought her to him.
Inside her flowed the blood of the woman who betrayed him, so she’s nothing but an enemy as well.
"Who exactly, precious?" Lucifer asked, confused.
"Stop playing with me, where’s my uncle and his fianceè? You took them from the hospital for what exactly, Lucifer? Haven’t you done enough?
At the mention of hospital, Lucuis’ intrest towards her skyrocked. How exactly is she related to the host and the woman?
He didn’t need anyone to tell him that this was nothing but fate playing a dangerous game that connected all of them, because if not fate then what is this?
