Chapter 62

“Kingsley help me!” I turned to look at Lilly. No not Lilly she was a little older, and her eyes were a slightly assorted color. But the features and vibrant red hair were the same.
“Kingsley, its me your father.” I laughed at that. My father the woman must think I was born yesterday.
“Kingsley, Lilith locked me in here. I will die if you don’t set me free.” The voice was desperate.
“I can’t set your free. If you were my father, you would know that.” I smiled.
“Listen you little useless piece of shit….”
“Father?” I asked. Only my father had every called me that.
“Yes, now listen boy. There is a key. Behind the painting of your great, great grandfather. It is in a safe. The combination is one, eight, nine, four.” I did not give him time to say anything more. I raced up the basement stairs and into my father’s study yanking the painting of the creepy old man from the wall. Quickly I punched in the code and grabbed the key. Bouncing back to the basement. Finally, I could set my mother free. Running past my father’s cage or Lilith’s I did not care who it was they called out to me, but I ignore their plea.
Opening my mother’s cage, she fell into my arms.
“Mother, I have done it. You are now free.” My knees felt weak with the thought of finally having my mother back and we sank to the floor.
“My boy,” she whispered stroking my cheek.
“I have a gift for you. But then I must go.” She whispered, she sounded weak.
“You are now ready to receive your birthright. You my sweet boy are part angel.”
“Mum, I’ve just got you back you can’t go.” I could feel tears stinging my eyes at the thought.
“I must. One day you will understand.” She pulled off a gold ring that had angels carved into it.
She then placed it upon my right fore finger. Instantly pain shot through my hand running up my arm and across my shoulder until it reached my heart, and everything turned to black.

Irene’s POV
The plan was simple.
The four of us—Taehyung, Yoongi, Ella, and I are teleporting ourselves to Italy where their coven lives. According to Ella, a group of witches in their coven were currently trying to track Michelle and Lilly using their powers, but it was hard for them to get anything out of Lilly; they needed something that was related to her, something like an old shirt, a strand of her hair, or even the blood of her family. That way they would be able to find her easily.
Once we get there, we give them at least a droplet of our blood and once we find where Lilly is, we track them down and bring her back. I was afraid we did not have any plan after we get her yet; it was a sure and obvious fact that other supernatural’s would come back hunting for Lilly unless we put a stop to this race.
Lucifer had left to speak with the highest order of witches of the dark to ask for help. There were no groups of vampires or werewolves who allied with us, so the witches of the dark were our only hope against ending this race.
The four of us were standing in the middle of the hall where we would usually teleport to far places. We all changed into clothes that would better suit travelling and running around or even fighting, and I even helped Ella change her white dress. Yoongi offered her some food before we leave, but she politely declined and said she was fine despite her physical appearance screaming the opposite.
“Ella, are you sure you can handle more of this?” I asked worriedly. “You know you can stay behind with your coven after we find Lilly’s location.”
The kind which shook her head with a reassuring smile. “I’ll be fine, Irene. I don’t think I can stand staying at home while everything else outside is a mess.”
“She’s a witch, Irene. She can be much more powerful than you,” Yoongi teased, and I rolled my eyes at him. Ella could only look away shyly.
“I’ll protect her.” Taehyung suddenly piped in.
This man has been giving us surprises since a few minutes ago when Ella arrived. He usually was not this overprotective over someone who was not family, not even to the mortals he played with a few years ago. Has Taehyung taken a liking to this witch?
“Like I said, she’s literally a witch Tae.” Yoongi replied, slightly amused at his brother’s response.
“A witch, but she can break in a single squeeze.” Taehyung replied, his eyes finding Ella’s. He was clearly referring to her frail body. “Not until she’s fully recovered, we’re looking out for her.”
Yoongi was about to open his mouth again, but I gave him a sharp look, warning him to just shut up and let Taehyung do what he wants. He immediately got what I was implying and shut his mouth, looking downwards instead.
“Alright, we should go now.” I declared. Ella took my hand, and she took Yoongi’s as the four of us created a small circle. We all closed our eyes and prepared ourselves to leave, Ella’s vision to their coven in Italy helping us teleport easily. The three of us oversaw teleporting which should be an easy job considering the experience and the fact that the three of us were only going to carry an extra person. It was like teleporting with Lilly who also does not know how to use it yet.
The moment Ella shared her vision with us, it was instinct to respond and in less than a second, we were able to leave hell and teleported towards Italy. With a hard thud on the cold hard floor, I looked up and saw that we were in a dark room, lit with only candles surrounding the area.
A tall, Black woman neared Ella and gave her a quick hug.
“Is this them Cherie?” The woman asked and Ella nodded. She reached her hand out to help me up as Yoongi and Taehyung were already on their feet, looking around.
“Marie, these are Lilly’s siblings. Yoongi, Taehyung, and Irene.” Ella introduced. We were not sure how to respond so instead we gave a curt bow, a respectable greeting that Taehyung and Yoongi taught me.
The woman was staring at us with uncertainty as she looked us from head to toe. “I see. These are Lucifer’s spawns.”
“Marie, they’re not what you think they are.” Ella told her quietly, but we could still hear her. “Be nice, please.”
Marie cleared her throat as she took a step nearer. “Do not think of this as a form of ally, demons. We are witches of the moon, and we use our magic in the light. We do not wish to work with demons such as you, but since we have a lost sister who left with malicious intent, we only wish to bring her back and help her right her wrongs.”
“Of course. We also do not have any intention to ask your coven to protect us or fight alongside us. But one of your sisters brought our sister into this trouble, into your home, and so it is also your responsibility to bring her back. So, I guess we’re even.” I shot back which took Marie and Ella off-guard. I could see Ella staring at me with wide and scared eyes, but I had no intention to scare her off. I was simply trying to show their leader that we are not afraid of them, and this “teamwork” is purely business.
“Agreed.” Marie nodded. She then gestured to a small room behind her. “This way, please.”
She led us to a small, dark room that was also dimly illuminated by candles. A group of women were sitting around a short table where a map was sprawled out.
