Chapter 3 You are a part of them as well

You are a part of them as well?

Karen got stunned at the sight before her.She managed to sit up,trying to drag out the knife from her mum's belly.

"Mum!,what are you doing?!...Why did you stab yourself?!..Mum!"Karen cried as Catherine kept her hands from dragging out the knife.

"Listen to me Karen,you and Kelly are no match for each other in terms of powers.When I got pregnant of you two,I was told that I have two opposing forces in me and I had to kill one for one but ....I couldn't kill Kelly and thats why everything has gone wrong now.You remember Grandpa?..Kelly killed him at the age of eight and manipulated you into telling Grandma you did so.She discovered her powers before you and that made her hone it more than you do"Catherine coughed."Karen, you have supernatural powers which can save the lives that Kelly's powers are hungry to take.Your powers has already started attracting more forces because you will be turning eighteen soon.So Karen,no matter what happens,never stop trusting yourself because lives are waiting out there for you and you have got to use those powers correctly"Catherine said,her eyes already closing slowly.

"Mum!..Mum!...Don't leave me,Mum!"Karen screamed despite the pain in her.A flash appeared and Karen found herself teleporting again.

Kelly walked in,settling on the sofa.Jayden picked a cheese,sitting opposite her.

"What did you do at school today?"He asked,gazing at her.

She smirked."Is that all you intend to ask me?..Didnt you miss me?"She stood up,coming closer.Jayden took a step backward.

"Don't try to sweet talk me into anything right now.What did you do at school again?"He asked,sternly.After Linda called him on phone,he knew it was high time someone talked some senses into her.He wondered how he got stuck with her or could Linda be really telling the truth?.

"Jay,did anyone tell you anything?.I didnt do anything,just normal stuffs and thats all"She snapped.Who dares poke nose into her business?.

"Kel,no one has to tell me anything before I know all that happened in school.Make Ruby well or no talks between the both of us"Jayden turned to leave when she hurled a knife to him but it went straight back to her,slightly scratching her jaw.

Jayden looked back at her,his face filled with disgust."If I ever found out later that you are responsible for everything including Diane's death,I will make you pay before anyone does.Try me at that"He took a step forward.

"Jay,you can't speak to me that way.I had always loved you all my life and you will always be mine.How did you do that?..How did you get that...that...knife to come back to me?"Kelly asked,still in shock of what happened.Jayden couldn't possibly have powers,could he?...

"I guess you didnt even know much about me before deciding to be with me.Enjoy it while it lasts"He walked out and slammed the door behind.

Kelly screamed in anger as her fingers were already shaking.Her face was already heating hot even when the air conditioner was fully on.

Karen coughed out repeatedly.Her mum lay beside her,unconscious.She was about to touch her when a woman walked in.

"Who are you and what are we doing here?"Karen asked.Looking around,her lips parted slightly at the awesome sight before her.Could this be a paradise?Everywhere looked beautiful and.......

She noticed something glittering in her and looked down.She gasped at the beautiful dress which was adorned with butterflies.The woman smiled.

"Welcome to the land of great secrets.We were told the heiress would be here today and am actually surprised to know you are the one carrying the most coveted great powers.Welcome once again,Karen"The woman said and different sparks showed differently in the sky.

Karen was still in a daze of everything happening in a second when the woman teleported to her side and touched her mum.Catherine sprang up and embraced Karen happily.

"Mum...I thought you were going to leave,was this the price you said I would pay for just having powers?...I can't do this mum,I can't"Karen cried.

Catherine tried to laugh."You are such a cry baby.I didnt actually pierce the knife into my belly because I wanna die.Its just something I must do to bring you here.There is a mark on my belly which signifies the core of this place,you have one too at the tape of your neck.So always be careful about that place if you don't want here to get destroyed".

"So mum,you are a part of them as well?You have powers too?"Karen asked,suprise written all over her face.

The woman offered to talk."Yes,she was the chosen one before getting married to your father but she refused her duties.She was scared of everything and ran away which caused so many lives under attack now.So she doesn't want you making the same mistake again and I hope you won't".

Karen sighed at this sudden discovery.Was that why she had those mysterious dreams?.So Kelly wasn't truly what she really thinks she is?.

The woman lifted her up and touched her forehead."You will go into a trance for now,I want to show you what you really need to know".A light shone brightly and Karen found herself in a school.She tried to take a step forward but she couldn't,it was as if her body was stuck on a spot.....

Coughing out repeatedly,Karen finally opened her eyes.

"Are you alright,dear?.Did anything happen?"Catherine's voice filled her ears and she remembered she was out of the trance already.

Karen gritted her teeth in anger."That..that was my sister.No...that couldn't be Kelly..no"She tried not to believe what she saw but it was right in front of her.The truth was right in front of her.Could Kelly also really be after her life?...

Catherine talked."You and I know who your twin truly is and all these has been confirmed.You have got to confront her because no matter how you avoid it,you will surely face her one day".

"And a letter will be delivered to you tomorrow and I don't need to tell you what you need to do after that"The woman smiled,wryly.

Karen bowed her head where she sat.They were already back home and she knew she couldn't lie to herself anymore.

"There isn't anything you can do,you have got to stop your sister.Don't ever make the same mistake I made,dear because its a very costly one",Catherine said and walked to the kitchen.

Karen's eyes got filled with tears as she remembered what she saw.
