The woman was quick and strong. Luci felt her heartbeat stop for a second when the woman raised her weapon towards her though she was sure that she had an invisibility spell on her.
There were very few who could look beyond her spells. Even in the demon world, her powers were unique.
She only let go of her breath when Ana attacked a few times but did not get any proof of her presence and finally stopped attacking.
Her still narrowed eyes kept staring at the sky but no matter how many times she tried her spells, it did not react. Was she being over sensitive?
"What happened, aunt? You seem tense?" asked Lucy as she looked at the sky and then at Ana in confusion when Ana finally looked away.
"Nothing! Are you able to teleport now? It should not take so much effort, you must be clear where you want to go and imagine that place clearly in your mind with the distance you are required to travel. With that, you have to mutter the spell and you will be able to appreciate yourself. Try again." she looked around, "chose that position.
It is only ten meters away so it would not take much effort." she guided the young girl who sighed but closed her eyes and nodded.
Ana looked at the sky again but Luci was not looking at An anymore. Her eyes were on the young girl who looked just like her. They were so exact that if she would stand in place of that young girl, no one would be able to know that they have changed places.
Was she the twin Oliver was referring to in the market?
Lucy whispered the spell and disappeared from ther but instead of apparating on the point Ana had told her. She fell down on the stem of the tree nearby.
"Aah!" she winced as another stem hit her hard on her head. "That is not working at all. It is the third time that I hurt myself." she complained as she jumped at the ground and looked at Ana with an aggrieved face. "Why could my mother not accept that I am more of a vampire than a witch?" She did not understand why she needed to perform those spells.
"Hah!" Lucy took a deep breath as she suddenly felt dizzy just by looking at her own face talking to her, also with such politeness.
"Aunt Ana noticed you. Didn't she?" that woman never is wrong when it comes to her senses. Luci nodded without any hesitation.
"I was not sure if I should let everyone know about me. They say that I was dead." Lucy nodded but kept staring at Luci as if she still could not believe her eyes.
"They do! I am sure my father said that. He said he was not even able to see you since Stefan buried you before he woke up. He was sick at that time and could not accompany mother in her labor. He still blames himself for your death. Are you sure you are my dead sister?" she poked Luci's cheeks and marveled when she was able to touch it.
So it was not a dream after all.
"I don't really know. I thought I was an orphan. But recently I heard someone talking about my mother.." Luci paused as she squirmed by those words, "I heard my adopted parents talk that I have my own family. I was not very sure but I still felt excited so I came looking for them. Can I see your mother once?" she asked in a soft voice when Lucy blinked.
"What do you mean by once? Are you not here to live with us? If you are really my sister then this is your family. This is where you belong?" she frowned as she found Luci hesitating.
"No! I already have a family waiting for me. I did not even understand what I was doing here? I just felt that I wanted to meet that woman who sold me without any remorse. I wanted to ask her why she did that?" oh! She covered her mouth when she realized she spouted the truth when Lucy frowned.
She felt absurd at those words.
"Ha! My mother is almost dead after the incident. Father said that he had never seen her smiling like before since she lost you as if she had lost her soul. She would rather die than sell you. I am sure this is some misunderstanding. If you still have doubts, then I can take you there and you can ask yourself." Lucy assured but Luci could not trust her.
She could not trust any of them.
"What if she lies? What if you are lying too?"
