Fate

Chapter 5

How could you make this mistake Ethan? Aunt Eve yelled.

Aunt Eve was a Curio. She was a good looking woman in her thirties with dark eyes and long red hair. She was average height, quite thin, and wears glasses. She was the closest thing Ethan had to a mother. Ethan never liked her because she was so commanding always giving orders, telling him what to do. But Ethan cared about her.

"I... I don't know." Ethan stuttered. "I got confused."

"Confused?" She yelled. "You had only one job on earth and you got confused? We prepared you, your entire life for this."

"I know, but there's something about that girl."

"We're the Curio." Aunt Eve started. "We cannot save that girl, she's dangerous she doesn't know who she is but we do and we cannot destroy our world by saving her."

"I'm sorry." Ethan said keeping his eyes on the floor.

"I'll help you this time and-

"No!" Ethan cut her off. "I'll do it alone."

"I told you that I'd be right for the job but you chose Ethan." Noah stated.

Noah was Aunt Eve's son and Ethan's cousin from his mother side. He looked like his mother, but he takes after his father in character. He was taller than his mother with gray hair and a beard. He had the same dark eyes like his mother's.

"That's enough Noah." Aunt Eve said. "Ethan is strongest among all. He is perfect for the job."

Noah hated Ethan because he was the strongest of the Curio and someday he will take Aunt Eve's place and lead everyone.

"Hey! Noah." Ethan placed his hand on Noah's shoulder and said "don't stress about it. I'm the chosen one here. Have a little faith." and he winked.

"This time you better kill her otherwise I'll kill both of you." Noah threatened him.

"You cannot kill her not with your spell. Don't underestimate her she's stronger than the both of us. We just have to take this advantage that she doesn't know about her powers."

"Ethan is right Noah." Aunt Eve said. "I remember how we killed Christina. Her car was completely crushed but she was still alive, and she cast a spell so strong that broke the Evanora if it wasn't for Ethan we would've all been dead."

"And what about Anna Beth?" Noah asked. "Rumors are that she's still there. She walks in that nasty House."

"The dead don't hurt the living, only their mind." Aunt Eve whispered.

Fate was still thinking about Anna Beth. Her mind was twisted up. Something happened in this house, something wrong has happened here. She just had a feeling that she is connected with everything in this house. You belong here. She said to herself.

"I'm home at last.... I'm home at last." She yelled. "This is my home and I would live her forever."

"Fate you okay?" Layla said shaking her.

Fate collapsed to the floor her eyes were wide opened.

"Mom Dad!" Layla yelled.

"What's wrong?" Mr.'s Thyme came running into the room. "Fate? What's wrong with her?"

"I don't know she suddenly started screaming, that she's home and shortly after that she collapsed."

"Here, take her arm help me lift her up."

Mr.'s Thyme put Fate on her bed and started rubbing her hand.

"She's cold as ice." Mr.'s Thyme said worriedly.
