“Serenity!”
Serenity stopped when she heard that loving, gentle and caring voice.
Along with her everyone turned towards the source of voice.
“Dad!”
Nicolai said with smile when he saw his father, Robert.
Robert looked at serenity with sad eyes and walked towards her.
“Dad, please be careful”
Vincent said as serenity was still angry.
Robert raised his hand in front of Vincent which clearly indicates that he is mad at hybrids.
“She loves me”
Robert said confidently standing in front of her.
“It’s been a century, Sera… Why did you left me?”
He asked looking straight into her angry eyes.
“I missed you so much… Won’t you hug your best friend?”
Serenity’s eyes softened.
“Everything is fine… Come back!”
Robert said in soothing words.
“You are fine, sweetheart… See, i am here for you… Your Robert!”
He saw her blue colour fading and smiled.
“Good girl!”
Serenity became normal and hugged him tightly.
“Robert”
She broke down in his arms.
Robert hugged her tightly and rubbed her back with tears in his eyes.
“Cry, my dear… Let it go…”
He kissed her forehead.
It started raining as soon as her tears fell on the ground. Hybrids were happy and guilty at the same time.
Angel were standing aside sadly. Protectors has turned back into their human forms.
“I am so sorry, Sera… Please forgive me”
Robert said sadly.
Serenity cried on his shoulder. Letting go her pain and anger. She finally got the shoulder which she missed so much.
After few minutes she stopped crying and sky slowly cleared. Clouds disappeared and then everyone realised that it wasn’t night, it was a sunny day which was overpowered by her powers.
Bright sun shined everywhere and nature came back to life. All the plants which died, bloomed again.
“See, how beautiful you are”
Robert looked at the nature and smiled at her.
“I missed you”
She said looking at him.
“Sorry i can’t wipe your blue tears… I still love my life”
He teased and she smiled.
“Mother”
She looked at Silas and engulfed him in a tight hug. Luca and Leonardo joined them too.
She kissed their palms.
“How are you?”
She looked at them lovingly.
“You don’t deserve this”
Silas said with glossy eyes.
“Let’s go from here… Away from these people.”
“He is right… Let’s go… They don’t care about you”
Leonardo agreed.
Serenity looked at Luca.
“You don’t have anything to say?”
She asked.
Luca shook his head.
“I don’t think you should leave… He is not dead yet.”
Hybrids didn’t say anything. They were just standing there on wet ground.
“She hugged them but she is not letting me touch her”
Angel mumbled.
“It’s okay.”
Ellen rubbed her back.
“Sera”
Robert looked at her.
“Robert, I think i should stay alone for a while…”
Serenity said.
“I need to clear my mind.”
“Go wherever you want”
She looked at Arthur when he came forward.
“But I need something from you… Don’t stop me today, please.”
Saying that he engulfed her in a tight hug.
“I thought i lost you”
He released a heavy sigh.
“Forgive me or not… I’ll always love you Sera…”
Angel saw Ellen’s eyes turning glossy as she quickly looked away from them.
“I am fine Arthur.”
Serenity broke the hug and disappeared into forest.
“Dad”
Nicolai said and Robert glared at him.
“Don’t call me dad… I will never forgive for whatever you have done to that good soul.”
He scolded.
“We were under spell… We realised it when it got broken after coming to this place.”
Vincent defended.
“At least you should trust us dad… Sera is not ready to hear us out.”
“You know how much we love her”
Lucifer said.
Robert sighed.
“I can’t do anything… But I’ll support serenity… Whatever decision she takes, I’ll support it.”
He said and walked away with Angel.
Ellen looked at Arthur and he turned his back to her.
Protectors and hybrids looked at each other.
“I’ll try everything to seperate you from our mother.”
Leonardo said looking at them hatefully and walked away with Silas.
“Aren’t you going to join them too… Come on, say something hateful… Curse us”
Nicolai rolled his eyes.
Luca sighed.
“I won’t do that because I know it’s not your fault… I am ready to help you.”
He said and they looked at him surprised.
“Because she needs you… I don’t want her to die… She needs her mates to survive…”
Meanwhile serenity was sitting on the rock on highest peak of that fores. She sat there silently, feeling cool air and watching greenery.
She has no idea what to do now. Her past has ruined her present. She punished Marcus because he deserved it.
She can’t blame Albert because in his place, he is right. He has all rights to avenge for his family. But he destroyed angel’s life, she was innocent.
She didn’t want to kill her nephew but he is evil, he will hurt everyone around her. He has performed the same forbidden spells like his father and borrowed excessive powers from nature. She can tell that he is powerful and it will be difficult to kill him.
First of all, she needs to find out how to kill him.
Her mind is still on hybrids. She have a idea that they are victims too but it’s still hard for her to forgive them. Those hurtful words are still in her mind.
Heart is telling to forgive them and get their love but mind was telling her not to be stupid. She can’t ignore the fact that they have trust issues and Albert took advantage of it. They don’t trust her.
On other hand, she afraid to touch her daughter. It has became a trauma for her. She fears that she will touch angel and she will get hurt. What if her venom killed her? What if she something like that happens again?
There are so many intrusive thoughts in her mind which she can’t overcome.
No doubt she loves her daughter more than herself but she have to stay away from her so she won’t hurt her. She wants to hug her but she is afraid.
“Mom?”
Serenity closed her eyes when she heard Angel.
“Please don’t come near me, Angel”
Serenity pleaded.
“You won’t hurt me… I promise.”
Angel walked towards her and serenity quickly stepped back from her.
“I will”
Serenity stopped her.
“Don’t do this”
“I am your blood, you can’t hurt me… Your venom won’t hurt me”
Angel argued.
“I can’t take that risk.”
She shook her head.
“I need my mother.”
Angel looked at her with glossy eyes.
“I don’t need my powers but i need your love.”
Serenity looked at her sadly.
“I can’t do that”
“Fine then… Their is no use of this life”
Angel said jumped down from the peak.
Serenity gasped when she saw her daughter falling into deep trench.
