ELIZ'S POV
• •
"Alright stop! am ready to listen to you" I said to her as she was about to step out of the house.
And so she turned and stared at me "I thought you don't need my help, I thought you can do it alone?" She asked.
"If you are going to help me then do please" I said as she nods.
"Then if you want my help you will need to shut up and don't bully me again!" She yelled at me as I breathes out heavily before nodding my head.
"Fine I won't bully you again, am sorry" I said and then she stepped in while I locked up the door.
She sat properly at the couch and I was about to seat besides her when she instructed just like she use to do before.
"Can I have a drink please?" She requested and I nodded.
"Of course" I responded as I reached out to my refrigerator and bring one of my fresh wines, then I picked up the cup on top of the refrigerator.
I filled the cup for her and handed over the wine and she collected it with gratitude.
"Oh thanks, what about you? are you not having a taste?" She requested.
"Mira please we are not here for drinking party can you please go straight to the point" I said with so much seriousness written on my face.
While she took just a sip from her cup and kept it on top of the table and all her gaze was on me.
"Eliz I am here to help you but I will make it to be like an offer" she said but I don't really understand what she was trying to say.
I took a few seconds to think trying to understand what she meant by that but still I couldn't understand.
"I don't understand what you are trying to say, make me an offer? and... what do you mean?" I asked as she licks up her lips and take another sip of wine before concentrating on me once again.
"Am here to offer you a choice, an easy choice of how you can get your ward back while you don't have to apply so much stress and energy on it" She said and I nodded but she has said that before so why was she repeating it.
She is supposed to have gone straight to the point just like I told her recently.
"Yes, you have said that before so can you please go straight to the point? how am I going to get him without applying so much energy on it?" I asked as she picks up her wine again while I looks down in frustration.
Did she came here to help or to actually drink wine? I don't really understand what's wrong with her.
After taking a sip of her wine this time around she didn't drop the cup but hold it on her hands so that it would be easy for her to take a sip again.
"Can you please talk to me! or are you playing games with me or something similar?" I asked as she waves her head with a little chuckles.
"Nah... come on... why will I come to play games with you? what kind of game can I play with you that you don't know?" She responded as I reacted with a harsh voice.
"Then can you please go straight to the point!!" I yelled at her with a louder voice as she smiles.
But my loud voice didn't even change anything from her character as she smiled at me instead and took another sip of wine.
"Come on you are being so fast Eliz, should I repeat myself because it seems that you don't understand what I said" She said as I kept on looking at her because it's obvious that I'm going to send her out of my house very soon.
Because she has nothing to tell me, she is just trying to get into my mind again!
"If you heard me well girl, I never said that I have come to let you know how you can get your ward back"
"I said I have come to make you an offer" She said as I takes a deep breathe looking at her because I obviously can understand now.
I know what she's trying to do but I should just hear her out before I send her out of my house.
She is trying to take advantage of this moment and make me one of her freaks again.
"So what offer are you talking about" I asked as she looks up to me boldly.
"The both of us need help? you want your ward back? I can help you do that within a short period of time"
"But you would have to help me out" She said while I stared at her silently.
"Really?" I asked and she nodded.
"Eliz, you don't have to turn your back on me now that I needed you the most, we have come a long way as friends..." She was still saying and I interrupted her.
"Mira! I thought I told you never to repeat that word again and you are going to leave my house with immediate effect if you do that again!"
"Am not your friend in the first place, it was your mind manipulation that did it, I am never your friend with my right senses! so while talking to please speak to me like someone that haven't seen me before! you get that!" I yelled at her.
And so I understand that all the evil she has done may have come back to hunt her and she wants to get me involved again but I won't let that happen this time.
Though as I can see there is a look of so much frustration in her face.
"Good then, I would like you to help me" She said and I shrugged my shoulders.
"So...? how do you want me to help you? I mean help you do what exactly?" I asked as she began to narrate.
"I checked on Jennifer today and discovered that she has left to see her family, you and I know what will happen..." Mira was still saying and I interrupted her.
"Please can you spell me the word, me? I mean can you stop trying to involve me in that conversation? you need my help right? then refer it all to yourself"
"Maybe then, I would understand that I am actually the one that needs to help you"
"And not making it to look like the both of us are trying to get ourselves out of shit which I don't know!!" I yelled at her and she bends her head means that she understood my instruction.
"Good! go on!" I said and she continues.
"Jennifer has gone home today, and surely she will discovered that her dad is dead abd I am the one who killed him"
"Jennifer is a strong opponent! she would want to go deeper to look out for who killed her dad and so she will definitely discover that am the one in no long time"
"And she will come for me" Mira explained why I was nodding to her words as if she's telling stories.
"So if she come for you, I think she would probably kill you, is that not it?" I asked as Mira was left looking at me in surprise.
"Eliz please I want you to help me out" Mira said and I was left looking at her for a few seconds and then I folded my arms.
"Alright what do you want me to do for you?" I requested to know out of pity because I can see so much fear written in her face.
"As you know she can't match the power of the both of us combined, we can end her together" she said and I glanced at her with a kind of shocking look on my face.
"And what was that supposed to mean?" I asked and she knows that am referring to the last line of her sentence.
"Eliz don't try to be the holy one here! you and I know that she is equally an obstacle to you on getting close to your ward"
"Castor is equally her ward, and she will come for him anytime she discovers that"
"And you and I knows that you can't dare stop her from getting him" she said as I nods.
"So what's it that you want me to do in order to stop her?" I asked with a focused minded look on my face, making Mira believe that am fully in meanwhile am not really in.
But I'm equally interested to stop her from getting to my Castor.
"Yes, now you are talking like Eliz I use to know before"
 "Join me let's fight her and kill her, she would not come for me and she will equally not come for your Castor"
"Or you allow her to kill me and come and take away your happiness from you and you will forever remain a lone angel with no peace of mind, the choice is yours to make Eliz" She said.
