Chapter 393 - Are You Serious?

Roden throws his brother a dark look. "Did you kidnapped this woman or she come on her own?"

Jagger dropped his gaze on the ground.

"Answer me!" Roden raised his voice.

"S-she doesn't know that I will put her in a bottle and that I'm planning to make her my wife with your help..." Jagger finally confessed the truth.

Roden gritted his teeth. "And who is exactly is this woman? Where did you meet her? Is she a vampire or a mortal being?"

"She is the Crossbred, brother. Right now you are staring at the powerful Crossbred that was being mentioned in the prophecy. Her name is Jessy, her blood can turn any vampires into a human being after seven days, fangs gone, guaranteed! And right now my dear brother, you are looking at your brother a transformed mortal being..." Jagger chattered animatedly.

Roden was blown away by his brother's shocking and over the top claim. "Are you serious?"

Jagger's face turned serious. "Yup. I'm telling you the truth brother. We captured the Crossbred! We no longer have to abduct humans to provide us blood for our daily existence. This woman can turn you all into a mortal being who no longer needs blood to continue living! And I'm the living example of her miraculous blood. I no longer crave blood...I can eat human foods and able to walk under the blazing son without burning my skin!" he said.

Roden kept staring at his brother, stunned by his revelation. "So, tell me...what is your plan for this woman?"

A dazzling smile appeared on Jagger's face. "I want her to be my wife, to stay by my side forever and we will raise our children together here in this cave," he said and then looked at his older brother. "Bro, I need your help. This woman had a boyfriend that she loves so much. I want her to forget about him. I want you to erase her memory of his boyfriend and replaced his memory of me. I want her to believe that I am her beloved boyfriend and I want her to forget her life history so that she no longer wish to leave my side. Please do it for me brother, you are the only one who can do it, our mother didn't passed to me her unique skill that can erase someones memory and plant another one..." he begged.

Roden stared at his brother, then he looked at the woman inside. "What did you do to her?"

"I just put her in unconscious estate for three days, after that, she will wake up again. That is why I want you to help me erased everything in her memory before she wakes up," said Jagger, there was urgency in his mind.

"And what is it that you are afraid of brother?" Roden eyed his brother closely.

"Bro, this woman is powerful than me. She can levitate in the air, she can turn herself invisible, she can freeze any object, do illusion tricks, summon and manipulate fire and a lot more that I have not discovered yet. I am afraid that if she wakes up after three days, she can get out of the bottle and kill us all! Please do something to prevent it from happening, bro!" Jagger urges his brother.

"And where did this woman living?" Roden asked.

"She resides in the Facility!" Jagger answered.

Damn!

Roden closed his eyes and gritted his teeth in anger. Earlier, he was happy that his brother had finally come home and no plans to leave again. But after hearing that he abducted the Crossbreed who lives inside the Facility, he was starting to feel a huge headache began pounding on his head. "What have you done, my brother? Are you courting death? What if the entire force and wrath of the King will come down upon us and pulverize our hideout? Have you even think about it before you kidnap this woman? Why are you not using your head!" he lamented.

Jagger was gripped with silence....slowly...his brother pointed out his mistakes...but he can no longer correct his mistakes, it has been done, he just want to get it over with and make Jessy his woman. "I'm so sorry, brother, I didn't think about your safety and the safety of our vampire clan. I have no idea that my returning here can cause great danger to our clan. Don't worry, me and Jessy will leave tomorrow, I will take her faraway so that they can no longer find her and also the King won't attack this hideout. But please, help me first. Before we leave tomorrow, erase Jessy's memory of her boyfriend and replace him with mine. I will be forever grateful for your help brother. It's my only request..." he begged again.

Roden stared at his brother's face for a long time. As his older brother, he doesn't want Jagger to leave their hideout again, now that they were finally reunited with each other, he can't afford to lose him again. He promised his mother that he will take care of his younger brother and he failed once...now he doesn't want to fail again. Yet, he was aware that his brother's home coming also brought great danger risking their hideout being discovered in the long run. They can not flee and find another hideout too soon...besides...they'd been hiding in the cave for so ling and it already become their home and refuge. It would be hard to find another hideout that offers excellent camouflaged like the one they had right now.

He was now in the middle...between a hard place. One false decision, might lead his entire family and his clan that he's been keen on protecting all this time.

He wants to help his brother....but he also doesn't want the entire force and wrath of the King will forever hunt them since his brother abducted the most important person in the Facility.

His deceased mother knows he doesn't need war on his doorsteps.

He wants to live in peace!

He doesn't like war, conflict and violence!

He was born after his mothers heart. Until now, he followed his promise to his dying mother not to seek revenge and just live in peace. But it seemed, the landscape of peace that he enjoyed for so long was about to change.

Roden released a deep sigh.

Jagger saw the multitudes of conflicting emotion reflected on his brother's face. He hated himself for bringing this kind of problem to his peace loving brother. He really felt bad about it. But he would still insist on pursuing his plan to make Jessy forget everything in her life and only see him, no one else.

It's a crazy obsession that he is willing to die for.

Roden breathed deeply still in deep turmoil. "Brother, you can stay inside the secret chamber, in this room, no one can trace that woman's scent. In this room, you will be safe with her for a while," he said.

"Brother...you...you mean to say...you had finally decided to help me?" Jagger's face brightened up.

Roden nodded his head. "Yes. Because you are my only brother, I will help you the best of my ability. I owe it to our mother 'coz before she died I promised her that I will take care of you and keep you safe from harm. During this time that you needed my help the most, I'm fulfilling that oath now."

Jagger grinned from ear to ear, his happiness was showing on his face in leaps and bounds. He hugged his brother again feeling grateful for his help. "Thank you so much, bro!"

Roden had never seen his brother so happy until, because of that woman. His baby brother had finally fallen in love with a woman, too bad it made him foolish and stupid!

"Brother, when are you going to erase Jessy's memory? I want it to happen soon before she wakes up. When she opens her eyes, I want her to look at me like I'm the one that she love the most. Pleaseeee?" Jagger said.

"Alright, I will do it tomorrow night," Roden finally said.
