CHAPTER XII " I'M NOT HER, LOCK "

Hendrix's P.O.V.

Maybe because the place is connected to me that everything that happens there, would immediately appear in my mind.

When I see Lolita unconscious while she's carried by her brother, I feel bad I shouldn't leave her alone.

When we reach her room, Nyx places her on the bed and puts the duvet to cover her body. She was sleeping peacefully.

“Father’s spell is stronger than mine and has a longer effect so she’ll be asleep for a day or two “we stayed for a while as we knew some wizard was coming over.

“I’m Efimia, the lord of the demon realm summoned me here “He seems younger.

“Your cover on your face, remove it “Nyx said but the wizard shakes his head.

“I’m afraid young Lord that I can’t show my face “Nyx didn’t ask further but still kept looking at him.

The wizard ordered us to stand outside the room so we won’t be included in being trapped inside the room, he starts casting some spells speaking in a different language, and after some time he stops.

“I already put the barrier so she can’t go out, but other people can go out and in “When we tried entering and we succeeded but I felt weaker and when I glanced at Nyx I knew he felt the same.

“I also put some spell so no one can use powers inside that room preventing her from escaping, I’ll take my leave now “He said before disappearing into dust.

We leave the room and head downstairs to be stopped by Luca.

"Is Lolita still asleep? "He asked, when we nod he opens the door revealing another wizard with Adam and Aden.

"Why is there another wizard? "I asked and Luca looked at me confused.

"What do you mean another? Uncle personally asked the three of us to fetch the wizard he set to put spell on Lolita's room "

"But someone already did, he was here moments ago "Without me thinking anymore I ran back to Lolita's room to see her still sleeping, I concentrated on feeling the surroundings.

"What is his name? "The wizard with Lucas asked.

"He said his name is Efimia "As the name is said the wizard's eyes widen and his palm starts glowing.

After some minute he sighs softly. And his hands stop glowing.

"He does put some barriers but there's something more but I can't understand what is it all I know is it can bring good and bad effects on her "The wizard explains when suddenly Lolita starts floating, Nyx was about to pull Lolita down when the wizard stops him.

"No, don't do anything even touching her until she wakes up "We look at him more confused.

"She's in a state that can ruin what's happening inside her if she's been touch or moves so if she floats let her "

"I guess I don't have anything to do anymore so I'll leave now "When the wizard left Nyx suddenly cursed.

"Sh*t I knew something is off on that wizard but I still let him do something "

"Don't worry too much Nyx, The wizard said nothing's wrong "Aden said.

"We should rest for now "Luca said, all of them left but I didn't.

I entered Lolita's room and sat on the couch near her bed and the balcony. I stared at the moon back to Lolita who's now laying on the bed and not floating.

I wanted to remove some of her hair that is on her face but I remember that the wizard said that we can't touch her.

I just stare at her until I fall asleep. And I came back to the place where we were hours ago.

Everything is back to normal, there is no trace that something bad happened here I walk to the hidden room to see something, a letter.

Dear Hendrix,

You know I’m really thankful to you because you let me stay here even if it’s too sudden. I don’t really want to see anyone because of what happened, I don’t know why but maybe because I felt there’s something wrong there is something else that I don’t know. Ever since the change that is happening to me, I admit I felt so lost. Another one that I’ll admit I felt really safe in this place of yours and hers, I can sleep peacefully, and heck I want to stay longer but I can’t. After what happened on the lake, I don’t know how to face you anymore. It wasn’t supposed to happen because I’m not her and those things can’t happen to us.

---- Lolita

"Does she really think that I did that because I thought she's Natalie? "I felt frustrated for some reason and I wanted to get rid of that feeling but I can't.

I roamed my eyes around to see everything organized, I decided to take a rest in the room. When I closed my eyes I finally drifted to sleep without transferring to another place.

I woke with a thud, I saw that I’m still in the room. I tried to find where the noise came from but I didn’t find any until I heard another thud this time with a voice.

“Lolita? “When I confirm the voice I force myself to wake up to be thrown on the wall.

“Why can't I get out? Why am I here? Last time I remember I’m at your place and I was sitting near the lake. “She looked really pissed off.

“Can you calm down first? “I said but she didn’t listen and just threw something on the open door, it passed but when she tried she couldn't.

“You don’t remember what happened? You don’t remember what you did? “She looked at me so lost and got back to her bed.

“What happened? Did I do something crazy again? Did I hurt anyone? “She asked question after question.

“You didn’t hurt anyone but you almost toast Luca, Aden, and Nyx “

“What? Toast? I can’t understand Hendrix “She really can’t remember anything.

“You lock them inside a flame dome and make it shrink, luckily your father and mine arrive and save them and stop you from losing control “She looks terrified, maybe because of the thought of almost killing her brother and Luca and Aden.

“So that’s why I can’t go out of my room? Am I really that dangerous now that I can’t come out “She asked shoulders down.

“That’s not the main reason why, When you are losing control Luca said you talking to someone and your fighting back, The three of them witness what happened to you “She’s looking more confused when I spoke.

“Then I’ll be locked here? For how long? “

“I don’t know but maybe when we find out whose controlling your mind or body “

“Can I have Loli and the cat here with me? “

“Of course, everyone can come in or out here in your room except for you so don’t worry you won’t feel bored or lonely “She looked seriously at me making me wonder why.

“You read it don’t you? “

“The letter? Yeah I did “She sigh

“Don’t think about the letter that much, go rest to your own room “She said almost like a whisper.

When I left I didn’t know she said something to me.

Lolita’s P.O.V.

I didn’t think it would come to this, for me getting locked in my own room, I tried to remember what happened but I can’t remember a single thing.

I just sat on my bed looking at the ceiling and when I see the stars on the ceiling I suddenly touch my wrist feeling relieved when I see that the bracelet Aden gave is still there.

“Aden I’m bored “I said without thinking that I suddenly summoned a talkative vampire.

“Woah! How did you do it? “Aden appeared in front of me, surprising me to teleport here in my room.

“I don’t know, I-I just said your name and said I’m bored.

“Anyway, if you are bored and so am I let’s go to the mall “When Aden pulled me I pulled back looking down.

“I can’t go out Aden “

“Oh… I’m sorry I forgot, wait here “Aden ran fast.

Like he said I wait and wait until he comes inside with a lot of things, and Loli and the cat trailing with him. We did a lot of things he suggests getting the thought of me being locked away when the time he needs to go because he’s attending his class he bid goodbye and left the things for me so I could do something.

After some time everybody already bid goodbye to me except Adam. That werewolf is really annoying when he wants to be annoying.

“Stop, I can hear you talking to me “Adam shows up on my door holding a book, really? He always brings a book with him.

“Alright, I brought a book with me anywhere so stop telling it inside my brain “He sat on the couch in my room and continued reading.

“Don’t you have class? And what do you mean I’m telling it to you when I’m just thinking about it? “He just read his book before answering.

“First the six of us including Ethan would take turns guarding you and I’m on duty, second I don’t know maybe connected to some changes that are happening to you “He said, making my eyes wide.

“NO! Not Ethan “Instead of paying attention to me, he just continued to read so I snatched the book away from him.

“I won’t give it back until you tell me everything “I said, making the book invisible, The power I only knew since birth.

“Fine, I know you can’t remember what happened but you change not just your eyes but full, your eyes turn to gold while your hair becomes purple and Aden also said something about him being summoned by you and now I keep hearing your thoughts like you what me to hear so now can you give me the book “He lazily answer making me hand back the book to him and continue to read.

I need to talk to my mother, just her but how? If I request for her father and Nyx would find out. Thinking for a while an idea pops into my head. I immediately pulled a paper and wrote what I wanted to ask my mother, when I finished I stood in front of Adam and handed him the paper.

“What is this for? “He said looking at the paper.

“I know you know where mom is, give it to her without others knowing “

“And why do you think I would do that “He took at me smiling mischievously.

“I’m locked here so I can’t give it to mom so I’m asking you to do it but if you don’t want to do it then if I can summon Aden then I can also do it to you, I’ll summon you every time I desire even if your reading or in class you choose “He looked at me annoyed snatching the letter and disappearing.
