THE WITCHES!
WALTON’S MANSION( ANNA’s HOME)
“Uncle, what do you mean by you can’t find Anna?!” Elmo yelled, his eyes bloodshot with tears
“That’s how it’s is Elmo, Anna’s been missing for some days now!” Mia, Anna’s mum said in tears as her husband patted her hair shortly.
“What? Did she leave a message for you guys? Did you have a fight with her?!” Elmo asked in a haste and Darrell shook his head in denial.
“Then where is she? Where did she f-__-king go?!” He yelled as tears ran down his eyes.
Anna was just like a sister to him, being that their parents were friends and also being the only child of their parents made them so close and he never imagined that one day, he would wake up and find out that Anna is nowhere to be seen.
“Something must have happened! Anna can never leave us like that!” He yelled as he ruffled his hand in his hair.
His mother Catherine came and patted his back gently.
She was also at the brink of tears but she had to hold herself together just for her best friend’s sake.
Why hadn’t she foreseen this earlier or could it be related to what she saw about her earlier. Every thing was just so confusing at the moment. She couldn’t figure out anything.
“I can’t calm down mum!” He yelled.
“Anna.. oh gosh! where are you?!” Elmo muttered and immediately he vanished out of sight.
“Elmo..” His mum yelled.
“Leave me, let him be alone for now. It’s too painful for him to handle since he and Anna were very close” Darrel, Anna’s dad spoke.
Darrell sighed. He was trying to be strong but he couldn’t. Who could have taken his precious daughter away from him.

Anna yawned and opened her eyes groaning. She looked around and sat up sulking. She misses her parents so much but what could she do? They were already gone!
A tear rolled down her eyes and she quickly wiped out off. She had better start thinking fast if she wants to avenge her parents. She stood up and then went to freshen up
MINUTES LATER
Anna stood in front of the mirror arranging her hair. She looked at the beautiful short pink gown she wore and smiled. Now it’s time for some action!
She came out of her room and walked downstairs hurriedly. She checked the living room but he wasn’t there and then she checked the kitchen, he wasn’t there either and deciding to try one last time, she checked the balcony and there he was sitting gracefully with his mask covering his face except his eyes and lips. Anna’s eyes trailed down to his lips and she immediately swallowed hard as she remembered yesterday’s occurrence. She couldn’t deny that his lips were pretty. Yeah they were.
He was operating on a laptop and a glass of blood was by his side. Anna gain scrunched her face in disgust.
“Don’t they ever get tired of it?” She asked herself and almost immediately Axel looked up and their eyes met and immediately Anna felt her heart skip a bit. She immediately looked down and scolded herself mentally.
“Anna! Don’t stare at him but do what you have to do!”
“Blue eyes…” He called and she looked up at him.
“Wanna say something?” He asked and she nodded. Axel stood up immediately and walked towards her. He stood some few inches away from her.
“What do you need?” He asked and Anna swallowed hard before looking up again .
‘I, as you see, before I met you, I was already attending college and right now, I’m still young. You might not believe it but I do, I still wanna go to school and further my education. Well, only if you agree” She added the last part with the hope that he might accept.
And when he does, she would find a phone and immediately call Elmo to save her from him.
“Wifey..” He called and Anna looked at him immediately surprised by what he just called her.
“Don’t you think I need to get something in return if I grant you your wish?” Axel asked with another mischievous smirk playing on his lips.
“What?”Anna asked hopefully.
“I will do anything for him to agree..” She thought and smiled but she stopped herself from smiling.
He smiled and then moved closer to her.
“Kiss me!” He whispered .
Anna looked at him immediately as if he was mad.
Maybe he’s really crazy.
“What?” She said again.
“Kiss me!” He whispered and Anna looked down immediately playing with her fingers.
“What do I do now? I would rather kiss my poop than to kiss this ki||er?!” She thought to herself.
“I see. You are not ready to receive your wish. No problem..” He said and turned to go but Anna immediately grabbed his right hand while he smirked mischievously.
He turned back and faced her.
“What?” He asked her and she sighed looking down.
“Well, it’s better she does this now and get what she wants than to lose what she wants. If it’s kissing him, she would do it…” She told herself.
