Chapter 13: Broken Beyond Repair
Eric's POV
"Eva!!" I called as a witch ran towards her and she quickly flicked her hand and the witch fell to the ground
"Not bad" I said as I stroke down a witch with my lightening
"You're not that bad too" she smiled
There was a sudden explosive sound and all the witches suddenly disappeared
"What the hell was that?!" I asked and Eva went out to check
"Eric?" I heard Gia's voice and I turned back to see her awake
"What....How are you awake? Is Dianna okay?" I asked
"I don't know, I was speaking with Dianna and I think I was able to give her a bit of a morale but everywhere suddenly went blank and next thing I saw was you" Gia explained
"Dianna! Dianna!!" I called as I shook her vigorously
She suddenly sprang up inhaling deeply
"Dianna? Are you okay?" I asked
"I feel like I just awoke from the pit of bloody hell, what the fuck happened?!" she said and I nodded
"Yup, you are okay"
"What in the name of the Hammingtons happened here?" Gia asked pointing at the several dead bodies of the witches
"Aria sent them to attack us though it didn't end up pretty well for them" I said and Eva suddenly barged in looking angry
"Eva they are awake!" I announced
"Obviously but do you know how they are awake? That's because your crazy brother fucking blew up the city hall along with himself and Aria!!" Eva said angrily
"What?!" Dianna sprang up "Where is Ivan now?"
"Ivan? He blew up the city hall which is a definite breach of the contract I had with the head of the humans, this will definitely bring a lot of problems and you don't seem to care a tad about it!" Eva said
"That is because I do not care a tad about it really, my brother comes first, your stupid contract with the humans might chip in later" Dianna said and walked out
"And to think I just fought so hard to save her fucking ass" Eva said and Gia grabbed her throat
"You might be the leader of the witches but you are nothing before the Hammingtons so choose your words carefully, do not cross your line" Gia said and walked out while Eva coughed
"Eva...."
"Stop" she said putting her hand up "It was a mistake trying to save you guys in the first place, you all savages are beyond saving, broken beyond repair" she said and went off
Ivan's POV
I woke up alone right in the center of the blown up city hall
"Dianna, I have to find out if she woke up" I said as I stood up and found my way out of the rubbles
I ran as fast as I could back the Hammington Mansion and I met Eric
"Where is she? Dianna, is she awake?!" I asked
"Yes, she just went out to look for you too" Eric said and I dashed out
"Dianna! Dianna!!" I called as I looked around
"Ivan" I heard her voice and turned to see her right in front of me
"You removed your glove just to blow up Aria, you shouldn't have taken it so far Ivan, I know how much you detest....." I pulled her into my embrace and took a deep breath
"Do not scare me like that again" I said
"Come on Ivan, it's very unlike you to get so emotional" she said
"How's little Hammington?" I asked ignoring her previous statement
"I think she still lives" she nodded touching her tummy
"No matter what happens Dianna, that child must be brought into this world, for a thousand years we've seek for happiness, your child is our chance at happiness Dianna, our hope and our salvation" I said as I patted her back and walked back inside
Gia's POV
I laid on my bed staring at the blank space
The door to my room suddenly opened and Dianna walked in
I sat up and she sat beside me
"Thank you for coming inside my nightmare and trying to save me" she said
"Am just glad you and your baby are alright" I said
"What you said in my nightmare, is it true? Am I really going to give birth to a baby girl?" she asked and I nodded
"Eva predicted it to be a girl"
Dianna kept silent for a minute
"In your nightmare, Eva told us it was supposed to be you living your worst fear, I expected to see you devasted or loosing your powers or loosing your unborn baby girl and becoming broken but I was wrong, your worst fear is loosing your family and really becoming the monster people think us to be" I said
"Do you remember life before we got cursed?" she asked and I shook my head
"Barely, it's been a thousand years"
"I do remember a few things, we were free and happy but the curse took that away from us, it snatched away our innocence without our permission, we were a confused broken being yet we managed to stick together and we pulled through, you all give me strength Gia and yes my worst fear is loosing you all, we are family and family is power, I need you all to survive" she said "What is your worst fear Gia?" Dianna asked and I hesitated
She patted my back and stood up
"Sleep, it's late" she said and walked out
"What is my worst fear?" I muttered as I laid back on the bed.....
Dianna's POV
It's morning and we all sat around the table for breakfast
"What do we do now?" Eric asked
"Since Ivan blew up the city hall with Aria inside, does it mean she is dead?" Gia asked
"Eva said the death slumber can only be broken if the one that cast the spell voluntarily decides to end it or if she dies, am sure the latter happened and that's how you guys woke up" Eric said
"We have not confirmed Aria's death and until we do we shall continue be on our toes, she has proven to be a formidable enemy, she came with the vision of our deaths, then she tried to kill us, this led me to think that she might just be playing with our heads" I said
"We need to confirm her vision from an equally powerful witch, we should arrange a meeting with Eva" Ivan said
"Again, you all never change do you?" Eric said "Even though we all have been nothing but rude to her, she was here yesterday to save your life and that of your baby Dianna, she fought with us against her own kind just to protect our little Hammington growing in Dianna's tummy and what happened after you were saved Dianna? Did she even get a thank you? She got yelled at and her throat grabbed instead, you all remember someone only when you need them, I know we are cursed beings and freaks but this careless behavior of ours is exactly the reason why even after a thousand years, we are still left all alone, I hope this lonely Hammington legacy doesn't follow your baby Dianna and I hope she doesn't inherit it either" Eric said and walked out.....
