How about we make him taste his own plan

Asher and Hassan thought Hosea was gone so they also left not knowing she was still in her invisible self following them.

  "So wait, Asher. What are we going to do now that she has left us without even starting our first plan on her?". Hassan asked with a worried face.

  "Hmm.. I'm just trying to think about something else". Asher said and stood behind the door where Hassan was standing in front of him.

   "Hey, come here. I got an idea". He said and Hassan brought his ears close to his mouth and he whispered something into his ears.

   "You are genuine Asher!". Hassan exclaimed and Asher covered his mouth with his hands.

   "Hey, keep quiet".  He said.

"Sorry, sorry. But this is great. We will see how she will run away this time".  They said and laughed then went away.

   "Haha..so this is their plan for me? This idiot doesn't think at all, I guess". She made herself visible and went to the cafeteria to see if Dela was there with Lily for Lily had promised Dela lunch. He walked up there.

    Lily as gone to bring the food when Hosea got there. She saw Dela sitting down alone and went to sat beside him.

   "What are you doing here?  Dela asked immediately after he saw her.

  "I'm here to have my lunch, why?". She asked.

"Ooh, I was only thinking that by this time Luca has arranged a place for you two to have lunch,"   He said and looked away.

  "Are you still mad at me because I took his pain away or because I save him?". Hosea asked.

   "That doesn't concern me". He said still with his eyes off her.

  "What I did was the right thing to do Dela, if he has died yesterday do you know what his mother would do to you?".   Hoses asked and looked at him.

   "So, I don't care about whatever she would do". Dela said.

  "Dela, if Luca died last night, his mother would have the upper hand in the case. For in all the realms we have rules and regulations, Dela. If he died yesterday night, his mother would be able to do whatever she wants to you without anyone doing anything about it, for that is the law.

      Although we can stop her from killing you we can't stop the fact that it would continue from generation after generation, looking for you to accomplish their revenge for the one you killed even if it has been thousand years ago". 

     Hosea explained while Dela hung his head low.

"I just wanted to teach him some lessons". Dela said.

  "But you went overboard last night, Dela". Hosea said and Dela hissed.

"But what if he wanted to kill me and I killed him will they chase after me like bees?". He asked with his already annoyed face.

"That one, we will take it as self-defense, Dela. But not when you have entered his house to kill him. Even if is for a purpose you should still know how to do it and when. For we have a lot of rules and regulations in the whole realm okay ".

   Hosea said.

"Whatever ". Dela scoffed.

"Anyway, I think I have to teach you about the rules and regulations in each realm so next time you won't go overboard again". She said and Dela smiled.

  "Thanks, and I'm sorry for being mad at you". He said finally looking at her in the eyes.

"You welcome my prince". She said and bowed.

  "Hey, stop it already ". Dela said.

"Why".

   "I'm your friend, not your king". Dela said.

"You are more than that". As they kept on talking, Lily joined them with a tray of food and placed it on the table, and sat down facing Dela and Hosea who was still chatting happily.

   "Hey". She interrupted them.

"You are back ". Dela said and looked at her.

Hosea looked at Lily and she saw that she wasn't comfortable with her being with Dela. She looked at her for a while before getting up to leave.

   "Mm ..Dela I will love to buy something ". She lied.

"Why, but there is a lot of food here already what are you going to buy?". Dela asked.

"Nothing specially, but I will just like to buy something ". She said still with her gaze on Lily who was also watching her. Dela couldn't notice the tension between the two girls.

   "Don't worry yourself, today Lily is treating us to food ". He said and looked back at Lily who forced a smile on her face.

  "Okay, but I will like to buy something myself". Still, she insisted.

"No, way not when I'm still here. You are not going anywhere. Come and sit down here ". He dragged her and made her sat down than making sure she wasn't talking again, he put a whole spoon full of food and pushed it in her mouth. Lily's eyes widened.

  "Did you just feed her?". Lily asked.

"Yes, she is playing stubborn and I have to teach her that I'm more stubborn than her". He said and was about to push another spoon full of food in her mouth when she held his hands and their eyes met. At once it was like the people had frozen in place. Dela could see Layla's face on Hosea's face, he saw her smile, her laugh, and how she likes teasing him. On the other hand, Lily was blowing up with anger. She held the glass of juice in her tightly that it almost burst out in her hands.

  Then Hosea let go of Dela's hands and she stood up. "I will be outside ".  Without waiting for Dela's reply she went away.

  Dela watched her till she was out of sightseeing.

He couldn't understand why he saw Layla's face on Hosea's face. He still played it in his mind till Lily interrupted him with the stomp of the glass cup she was holding.

  "Hey, Dela". She said.

"Yes". Dela looked up at her and put the food on the spoon in his mouth and chewed it, then he drank a whole cup of water and looked back at Lily.

  "Do you like Hosea?". She asked what has been on her mind all those days and right after the drama that happened in front of her, she asked him that question without thinking twice.

  "Yes, I like her, who won't like such a lovable person". Dela said still eating his food.

  "No, that is not what I meant to say, I said do you like her as you want to date her or spend the rest of your life with her". She asked and Dela stopped eating.

  "Why are you asking me that?". He asked.

"I'm just asking out of curiosity". She lied.

"No, I don't wanna date her, but I love her other self". He said on a tone that Lily couldn't understand what he mean.

  "What her other self?". She asked but Dela was already on his feet.

  "Hey, where are you going". She asked.

"I would be back". He said and went away.

    He went and sat beside the river which was located in the school garden. He sat down with his legs crossed together. He thought about Lily and Layla whom he truly love. Dela as begin to have some feelings for Lily although he knows that she was a vampire.

   "Hmm, so who do I love?". He asked not to anyone in particular but was just staring at the river.

"I promised Layla that I will never leave her even if it meant killing myself for her. But why do I have feelings for someone else too?". He asked himself then back to the river. He remembered all the memories he had with Layla from their childhood till when they all grew up. Then he remembered meeting Lily and how good she had been to her.

   "So now, who do I go for? Layla or lily? He asked and point to the river.

"The answer depends on who will lead down her life to save you, and besides the book we just discovered in the library even tells you whom to go for". A voice spoke from behind scaring him. He stood up quickly and turned to see who it was. To his outermost surprise, it was his mother.

   "Mom!". He run quickly and hugged her while tears dropped from his eyes.

"Mom, I missed you soo much". He said still hugging her.

   "Oh, my dear. I'm sorry but is not your mom, is me, Samantha". Dela break from the hug and looked at her. Yeah, it was Samantha.

  "But I saw my mom here?". He asked while looking around him.

"Yes, but that was only magic my dear. Your mother said she has missed you a lot so I should come as her and make you feel her a little". She said and wipe the tears from his eyes with the edge of her long white sleeves.

  "But you should have reminded like her for a while, I truly missed her too much". He said and dried his eyes with the face towel he was having.

"Hmm...I can see you are confused right?". Samantha asked and made him sat down beside her on the bench which was just a mile away from where they were standing.

  "Yes, aunt. I'm so confused. The book told us that two of us would be together and one will take care of us. The book didn't mention anyone's name again apart from the three of us. But why is Lily getting on my line too?". Dela asked.

"Hm..I think is just a challenge that had been placed in infront of you". Samantha said.

   "Anyway, before I forget did you bring any messages from dad?". He said and looked up at the beautiful woman in Infront of him.

  "I don't think magical creatures who always know what would happen and what would come shortly are the messengers of the king". Lily said as she walked up to them.

  "Hmm.. Lily the daughter of Alpha Ling of the vampires. it Isn't nice to interrupt me you know the rules already right". Samantha said and rolled her eyes.

  "I'm sorry, but I was only trying to satisfy my curiosity". She said and bowed. Lily was a vampire but a good one of course. She doesn't want to have any trouble with any of the realms. She respects everyone equally.

  "That is what I like about you. But you should have waited on your curiosity for you aren't the only one who is eager to know what I'm doing here ". She said knowing what she meant. Just then Hosea groaned and made herself visible.

  "You should have allowed me to be where I was, your highness". Hosea whined.

"No, must you show off that you are the only one who can turn invisible without other supernatural beings noticing you. Then don't forget I can see you even when you are 1000kms away from me". She said.

  "But I like it that way, I wasn't showing off, your highness ". She said and then went to sat beside them.

"Stop calling me your highness, your highness". She complained.

   "Oh, sorry great one". She teased and Samantha groaned at her.

  Lily was about to walk up to them, but Samantha blocked her.

  "No need little Alpha, but I will like to talk to only these people". She said.

  "Oh, sorry then I will be in class ". She said and walked away.

"So, what do you have for us". Hosea asked.

"Well, I can in person just to tell you two that is time to take over the kingdom in other to settle everything . For the kingdom as you all know, that it belongs to Drakon and Zeeva and they entrusted it to you people. So is time". She said.

  "But, my father is not dead. Besides he is capable of taking care of the kingdom. Me? I'm just a young guy who is about to enjoy the world" . Dela said.

"You are young, but they entrusted their souls in you. What about that, why didn't they give it to your father then?". She asked him.

  "So you mean, we should get prepared for battle or what?". Hosea said with a confused face.

"Of course, you have to get prepared for battle. I hope Layla read all the book to your understanding right?". She asked.

  "Yes". They responded.

"Then that is that, the time is very close. And if you don't make any attempt, then forget about becoming the next king. For that time, the vampires and the demons will have overcome us already". She said.

"So, what do you suggest we do?". Hosea asked.

  "Get prepared ". She answered.

"But what about layle, she isn't here with us". Dela asked worriedly.

"Don't worry she will be here. And she would be the threat they will use against you but since she is also powerful, she will know what to do"

"Thanks, Samantha. But you should have allowed the messenger to come by himself to tell us. Then to stress yourself coming here". Hosea said.

"Don't worry my dear, the king and Dela's mother don't want anyone to know about it for the messenger must even blab about it before coming to tell you. They want your coming to the Archer Angel Kingdom of pure magic to not be know by anyone until you come. That is why I came myself ". She said and they nodded their heads.

  "Okay, then I will get going but make sure you stay out of trouble and tell Layla the same thing when she arrived ". She said and they waved at her before she disappeared.

  Dela turned to face Hosea. "So, when do we start training?". He asked.

  "Are you done eating your food?'. She also asked him a question, without waiting for him to answer, she dragged him back to the cafeteria and walked to the table they were sitting at, and made him sat down. Dela looked at her and smiled. He opened the food and was about to take it in when Hosea stopped him.

  "Don't eat that food!". She almost exclaimed.

"Why?". Dela asked.

"It has been poisoned". She said and took the food away from him and stiffened it.

  "Hmm.. demons poison?". Hosea said and laughed.

   "Poison! To kill me?". Dela exclaimed

"No, to paralyze you". Hosea answered.

  "What!".

   "Who the hell would have done that?". Hosea said pretending not to know who it was, she truly know who did it but was just waiting for Dela to guess.

  "I know only one demon which is Luca.". He said and groaned.

"You see why I told you should have allowed him to death yesterday night?". Dela asked angrily.

  "Hold on, Mr. Man . I have a better plan for him. How about we made him taste his own plan". Hosea said and they laughed wickedly.
