Chapter 40 Forty

• "How long do we have to wait here?" Lilac asked when the sun started to go down. her mother and brothers had been inside Diana's house for hours but yet to come out. she was worried and curious at the same time. why did the Queen come to Diana's house with her children, without any guards... What were they doing in there, and was Diana really pregnant for Johnathan. Where was Connor... She had so many questions that needed answers... "I think we should wait..." Alice started but trailed off when the door to the house opened and revealed The Queen and her children, but this time Diana was carrying the baby in her arms... Diana was really young and not like the Diana she knew. she looked like a different person. there wasn't this fierceness there. She looked soft... "We have to find the grimoire. that is the only way we can save them from what is to come, " Diana said, and the Queen nodded. "Thank you. I will be back in a few hours." The Queen knelt in front of Devon and Liam and hugged them. "I will be back in a few hours... take care of your brother. " Liam nodded and held Devon's hand... Alice couldn't believe she had the liberty of seeing Devon he was so little..the face was still there, but he was so cute and little. she couldn't help but smile... "Come back inside, let me fix the both of you something to eat. Your mother will be back soon," Diana said and led the boys inside.... "I think we should follow her," Johnathan said, and Lilac agreed. she immediately started to follow her mother and didn't wait for anyone. Johnathan exchanged worried looks with Alice and Joan as they followed after Lilac and the Queen... bur just before they could catch up with her... Lilac gasped and looked back at them...
• Everything had changed. They weren't in the same place anymore... This time they were in the cafe and the queen was standing right in front of them. it was strange... She walked right past them and didn't even notice them... "She can't see us," Joan muttered and slowly started to walk... They all started to walk wondering where the Queen was leading them to... Lilac was the one who was most curious. what was her mother trying to do... Why did she need to get the grimoire... And who did she need to be safe... They followed her until they arrived at another part of the cave... The whole place was illuminated with darkness, and with a flip of her fingers, the whole place became as bright as day... Lilac was shocked to witness this... How could her mother do that... her mother was a lycan... and she had just performed white magic... What was happening. She looked back at everyone, and they were just as shocked as her... They all watched as the queen Brought out a dagger from her cloth and started to recite a spell... What was happening... What was her mother trying to do.... "Fahia... yatra... Truien..." The Queen recited, her voice become louder as she kept reciting the spell. She brought the dagger to her palm and cut it... Lilac watched as her mother used her blood to form a circle around her... and continued to recite the spell over and over again, till a wind started to form around, her blood still dripping from her palm... The wind became stronger and stronger, till it finally died down and it was then that All of them noticed it...The book. a familiar book that They all knew about. it was the Grimoire... Beatrice picked up the bood, and a smile of relief spread across her face.... "it worked she muttered and immediately set out of the cave... They all froze and couldn't move for a few seconds and coukd only watch as the queen set out
• everything started to change again, and now they were back at the house, but this time they didn't hide because no one could see them. it made Lilac wonder how Johnathan from the past she had encountered before had seen her. She would worry about that later, first she had to find out what was going on... They all followed Beatrice into the house. Diana immediately stood up and collected the grimoire from her. "How did you find it. I thought I was locked away and hidden, " Diana said, staring at her book awe. "it's part of my family heirloom. I inherited it from my mother after she passed, but I had no use of it. " Little Devon ran into his mother's arms, and the queen gave him a warm hug... "Do you think it's in there?" The queen asked, and Diana nodded. "it must be in here. we just have to find the right spell, and everything will be fine..." The queen sighed in relief, and Diana handed the book back to her... Alice eyes were on little Devon. He was looking right at her and didn't say a word. that was no way he couldn't see her. why wasn't he saying anything... and how could he see her... She had so many questions, too. was the late queen from the lineage of witches... How could she cast a spell so easily... The baby started to cry, and the queen stood up, but dians gestured for her to take a seat. I will check on her... Lilac legs started to move, and she filled Diana to where the baby was. Johnathan followed after, too... Diana picked the Baby up and smiled.
