ELIZ'S POV
• •
I was at home thinking about Castor, I couldn't even cook for myself, I just dump everything I needed to do, it was all about thoughts on my head.
I was currently at the kitchen trying to make a dinner for myself.
Besides the time is 7pm of night, and it could be surprised to you if I tell you that I haven't eaten since I came back from school.
I have tried everything possible to see if I can have at least a minute of peace in my mind but nothing is working.
I tried to force myself to sleep but that very option becomes the worst, Castor's handsome face keep being displayed once I shuts my eyes.
Then I tried watching movies but it was just his face displaying on the screen and so I keep roaming about at the house without even remembering that I haven't eaten.
I just remembered and I decided to enter the kitchen and make a meal for myself just like I always used to.
So I was busy slicing the vegetables as I was aiming to cook just a small plate of noodles which I have to eat just for this night alone.
Maybe by tomorrow I will make something better and bigger.
So here I am, slicing my beverages when Castor's beautiful face reflected on my face once again.
Seriously I know why I haven't discovered how handsome he was since all this while but now that I have found what he really means to me.
Immediately I remembered his face, I couldn't concentrate on what am doing again because I equally remember how I treated him and abused him in front of the class.
And so I just discovered that it was actually my conscience that is hunting me down.
It's asking me a question, 'if I really think that Castor would accept me after all the things I have done to him'
But my answer to that question will be 'Yes' I know it would be very hard convincing him to forguve but I must make sure that I takes what rightfully belongs to me which is him.
I can never seat like this and watch someone take over my ward, that will only happen when I'm dead.
I kept on discussing with my mind and just in my phone started ringing and I checked who it is and it was Mira.
But I wonder why she keep calling me, I don't know if there is any other language she understands better so I can use it to explain to her what it means by when someone said you should leave her alone.
So I can explain to her how to let someone be! and this was her 20th time of calling.
She has frustrated my life and now she's calling me to apologize as if her apologies is going to change anything.
What does it going to change? the people she deceived me to kill? well, all thanks to God that am not with her when she killed Jennifer's father.
So my hands are off that one which seems to be the most dangerous of all the decisions she has taken.
She hasn't told me the reason she killed him and I didn't bother asking because I don't want involve myself with that.
I only received the information from her but I did not know the day, the time and the reason and I didn't bother asking her, I only told her to count me out and that's all.
Moreover after a few thoughts on my head her I didn't pick up her call till it finished ringing.
Imagine just a seconds her call came up again and so I got angry and cut off the call and quickly add her number to my black list immediately.
"Stop disturbing me!" I yelled at my phone after cutting off the call, then I stared at my pot looking so tired because I don't think I will continue cooking.
So I turned off my electric cooker and left the kitchen.
Arriving at the parlour, I moved straight forward to the refrigerator and opened it.
I took some snacks in there and a bottle of soft drink as I turn on my TV and began watching some movies.
Not too long and a knock sounded on my door, I was wondering who it will be because I am never expecting any visitor.
"Who is there?" I asked but no voice came up so I kept my snack and soft drink on the table and went to open the door.
To my shocking it was Mira and I was wondering who invited her over to my house because I'm never going to allow her enter into this house.
The same way she came I'm very sure that she is equally ready to leave just like that.
So when I opened the door I stared at her surprisingly and immediately closed my door and went to sit on couch and continue watching my movie.
But she kept on knocking and knocking and I wasn't ready to respond to her either and she opened the door and stepped in.
While I stares at her angrily as I gets up from my seat, am not surprised how she managed to open the door because she got the magic.
"Eliz I know I have offended you but I have come to say that am sorry, I know did what was wrong just to favour myself alone but please I'm very sorry" She said while I smiled bitterly.
Because if she knew how sad I am alright now, I don't really think that she would dare step her filthy foot into my house.
"Yeah, you are sorry right? so my question is what is your sorry going to change?" I asked as she tried to step closer.
"Don't even dare step close to me! because I can remember that was the last thing you did the first time you came here and I couldn't get myself again"
"I couldn't even make my own decisions without informing you! you controlled my mind and messed it up!" I yelled at her.
"And I have come to let you know that I'm sorry, am sorry Eliz" She responded with a calm voice but I don't send.
"Exactly why I asked what your sorry could change? the people you ruthlessly killed? your heart of Stone...." I was still saying and so she interrupted with so much angry rumbling on her face.
"Eliz! I have come to apologize to you doesn't mean that you can stand in my face and make mockery of me!!" she yelled at me as I chuckles.
"Then leave my house! just get out because I don't remember inviting you over! so what's up with your senses!!? have you lost them?" I asked as she yelled at me.
"Eliz!!!!" She yelled my name as she approached closer to my face and so I stared at her as well as we are both fearless of each other.
"What!!? yes! what!?" I yelled back at her as she was breathing in anger and I can see it written in her face but I am not afraid of that scary face of hers, she knows me well, I can take on her if she wants it rough.
After staring at each other for a few seconds she looks down and closes her eyes and when she opened it her face returns to normal.
"Eliz, you are my best friend..." She was still saying and I interrupted her immediately.
"And I reject that from now on, I'm no longer your friend not to talk of the best" I said as she was left looking at me in surprise.
"Yes, I don't want to be a devil anymore, from now on I will be trying to get my ward back to me and once that's done I will live a normal and sweet life just like the other guardian angels"
"I can't stand with someone who can't have peace of mind! and blood flowing over her hands like a sea!" I said as she looks down, I bet that she has run out of words.
"Yeah bully me all you like, Eliz! but I just want to let you know that you equally have your hands stained with blood and it will cost you much to clean it up" She responded.
"You made me do it! you manipulated my mind! if I was with my right self I couldn't have done such abominable thing! so I refuse that" I yelled at her as she smiled.
"Does it change the fact that you are the one that actually did it?" She asked as I picked up my soft drink from the table and drank it all at once before looking up to her again.
"I didn't do it! because I was under your spell! I will continue telling you that" I responded as she nods.
"And I hope you are aware that I can still manipulate your mind and make you continue doing my will..." She was still saying but I couldn't let her finish talking.
Because that word is already sounding ridiculous in my ear.
"You can't! Mira...!" I dares her as I steps closer to her face and looks into her eyes and positioned it the way she use to make people position if she wants to manipulate their mind.
"I dare you to manipulate my mind!" I said as she stared at me for a while and then I left her presence to get a wine from my refrigerator.
I got the wine and filled up my cup "You did it the last time because I relayed so much on you with the hope that you are the person I think you are!" I said.
"Eliz I don't know.... if we can put all this controversy over us and talk" She requested as I nods with smiles.
"Yes of course, and the talk we have is that you should please leave my house! you are not welcomed here!" I yelled at her.
"I came here to tell you a possible option you can easily use to get back your ward to yourself"
"Easy and simple, because you and I are aware that you can't just walk up to him and kneel before him and be like am sorry, blah blah blah... and he will actually believe you?"
"He will think that we are planning to set him up again just like we did the last time, you and I know that right?"
"But since you don't want my offer, maybe you have a better option of getting him back, I wish you good luck..." she said as she turns and began walking away.
She was about walking out of the my house and I interrupted her.
"Alright stop! am ready to listen to you" I said to her.
