Truth

"Half-truth? What do you mean by that?" Ellie asked thinking what else is to be known to her.

"Well that I was the one who caused your parents accident." Hedger started giving a sweet smile to her.

"WHAT?" Ellie yelled not believing that she was calling her aunt and she was the murderer of her parents.

"Come on won't you want to know why?" The old woman made a sad face.

"Well your parents stand in middle of my victory. I couldn't find Naade as I was becoming weak and my practice being hindered due to lack of concentration as I was becoming ill therefore I needed to find Naade as fast as possible but I couldn't so I created the bond of mates. This way his instincts will lead him to his mates. I used all the power I had in order to create the bond. This way I had created his weakness also so that he wouldn't cross me but then it rendered me useless. I was powerless. With low concentration. I could only do simple tricks. I could support spells which required huge amount of power and concentration from me. But then I had you. You were helpful." The old woman said.

"How many sacrifices I made for my dream. I killed my husband. I could never had a child of my own because the ancestors cursed me in to being infertile once they came to know of my motive. I killed the members of my clan. Even my powers and you can't grant me a single alliance I ask of you Naade."

"I did so much for you. I created you . I made you invincible. I gave your life without death. So many abilities. Even a mate to fall in love with but you can't grant me one alliance. How selfish!" She remarked.

"You created me for your selfishness. You made me invincible for your benefit. You gave me an eternal life so that you can gain your motive. You created a mate bond for you can have a hold on me. Now you ask me of alliance? You are trying to play me with your words. That's not going to happen." Naade retorted angrily.

"Naade . . Tsk tsk tsk. . . If I can kill my husband who tried to stop my ritual for creating you. If I can subdue my wish for children. If I can kill my clan members. Than what makes you think that I will spare Ellie?" She laughed as she removed a knife and stood behind her holding Ellie as leverage.

Naade quickly rushed in a second and threw hedger on ground pointing the knife back at her. But instead of fearing she started laughing.

"Poor Naade I cannot die for I am tied to you. I am alive because you are alive. I die you die. You are my lifeline. My soul eats your energy." She said viciously to him. Dropping the knife to the ground he stood up. This woman below him was a pure example of Satan.

"That's the reason she is becoming healthy and younger because when you are near her she grows powerful as well as her soul clings on your energy." Ellie said aghast once she started joining all the clue.

"Smart girl."

"Now pledge me your alliance Naade or I will have to force you." Hedger demanded seriously. When he didn't moved she whispered a spell where Ellie fell to the ground holding her head as she shrieked in pain.

"Ellie are you okay?" Naade rushed to her but she couldn't reply as her nose started bleeding. Naade tried to control his blood lust as he diverted his attention.

"Blood lust of mate? Hmmm. . . It's is there because you carnal side wants to mark his mate. Once done it will subside." Hedger said raising her eyebrows.

"Stop this. You are her aunt." Naade yelled at her but she just smiled sweetly at him.

"Come say the words I will leave her. You will have to pledge me alliance and do a small ritual of blood ceremony where you will have to abide by your words." She casually said.

Ellie rolled on the ground in pain as her eyes turned red. She was breathing hard. Naade couldn't see the pain she was in. Therefore he decided to pledge his alliance.

"Okay I will do it. Leave her." He sighed dejected.

"OH wow." With a snap of her finger Ellie was calm and free from pain. She looked at Naade and shook her head saying no. That he shouldn't agree to her but he smiled at her.

"I will die if it makes you live Ellie." He whispered as tears rolled down her eyes.

"Don't do this Naade." She begged.

"I love you a lot to lose you to this crazy woman. If pledging my alliance keeps you safe and healthy I will do it." He said kissing her forehead.

"OH what a love story. Now cut the crap and get ready for the ritual." Hedger demanded preparing the things necessary for the ritual.

Naade stood up as Hedger gave him a knife and placed a porcelain bowl in front of him. She started chanting spell as she motioned him to cut his palm.

"Don't do this Naade." Ellie cried.

Just when Naade was about to make a cut on his palm he heard a sound of something hitting. He quickly looked up to see Hedger lying on the ground unconscious. Above her stood Abie with a wooden log in his hand.

"What an old hag! She just ate my brain there. Her husband was lucky that he died or else he would have died hearing her nonsense." Abie muttered looking at her.
