Chapter 96 Lone life

Nora's point of view......

    Living but not living is not life at all,I could not believe that most of us will be living a life of non-existence. It's been terrible for my sisters and I since a century now. 

    When the warrior princess died,the remaining white witches flew to live among the ordinary humans. It was hard try to canceal your true self from the nosey humans.

     Humans and witches don't relate,we hate ourselves with passion yet some of us finds love among the humans thereby giving away our immortality. But to those who decided to become humans,we don't blame them because love does not tell your heart were to go.

    In as much as you being a witch, you can find love among humans,it's not all witches that are given the privilege to love who their heart yearns for and it's unfortunate that I am among those that such Love does not favour.

   We have had mates destined for us,in whichever century our mates decide to find us,we continued to live a lone life. Some are lucky to find their mates on time while some are not. It might take forever for one to find one's mate.

     But looking after Gina has kept me away from the loneliness of being mateless. She is indeed a blessing in disguise for me. But now that she is free from my grip,what becomes of me?. I think this is the time I will feel the height of it all,I pray my mate finds me.

    I have not been able to do anything since I returned,I have been so occupied in my thoughts that I did not know that it's pretty late already. I checked my phone to see if Gina texted or called but there was none. I would have gone to see her maybe spend the night with her but after Spending time today with Ben,I realized what I have been missing and that has disorganised my being. The happy memories saddens me. 

     When I see that I can't have a thing with him,it weakens me the more. Why can't I be like others?.. it's funny how we keep happy facade but deep down in our hearts, we are dying slowly.

I continued counting seconds, minutes even hours,how time flies?. Not untill it was 19:00 that Gina's call came into my phone and exhaled for the first time in two hours.

  "Hi princess"

I said when the call came through.

"Hi babe,I am truly sorry that I missed your call. I was pretty busy"

She replied, sounding exhausted.

"Well I am glad you got busy"

I said and placed my legs on the stool before me and relaxed back on the couch.

" I Know right"

She said and chuckled

    From the sound of her voice I knew she is up to something.

"Where are you Gina?"

I asked and the line went silent. It took her few seconds to answer.

 "I..i... am not really at home"

She replied and I sat up

"If you are not at home,where are you then?"

I asked, anxiously. I hope it's safe where she is.

  "I am fine where I am and I will tell you all about it tomorrow"

She said and I breathed out.

"No problem girl,be safe"

I told her and she assured me she will,it's first time of her being away from home without me being with her. The nerve of that girl these days.

"Don't worry godmother,I will be fine. No need to worry about me"

She said, teasing me and smiled. She has a way of bringing smiles to your face.

  "I thought of checking on your earlier but I have not been in good frame of mind. So see you tomorrow"

I replied and made to hung the call 

"Wait!"

She said, before I could bade her goodbye

"Is it about Benjamin?"

She asked. She knows me too well.

"Yeah"

I replied not denying the fact.

"Well I don't know about how it feels like not to be able to be with a mate but if your heart keep yearning for Ben,why don't you try to stick with him. There is a way destiny works,he might be the one. Maybe Nature is waiting for you to make a move on destiny."

   She said and I knew she was right. Maybe I should just see how it goes with him

"Thanks Gina. I owe you big time"

I replied.

 "Anytime best friend,thats what friends do for each other"

She said and I agree no less. We have been each other's backbone and I am glad we are connected.

 "Got to go now,catch you later"

She said and hung the call. Who knows what she is up to now. I sighed and stood up heading to my room.
