SOPHIA’S POV
This is the clone, oh my goodness. This was how Rose’s clone was formed – Ben? I gotta run away from him, he’s a stupid wizard. So he’s the one trying to make me into a clone. While fighting, unintentionally, he makes a clone of Dylan and Dylan carries me away from them but he soon returns me to them because he’s only a clone, easily ordered. But while coming on the way, I let myself be under the wizard’s power and my clone was successfully made. I think of a name in my mind – Sophia O’Connell. Ben and Rose and the gullible fake Dylan doesn’t know it’s my clone. Ben thinks I’m not smart enough to escape from him. After they are gone, I see Jude approaching, I quickly hide behind a tree and thank goodness, he escapes. I run after him in the dark part of the forest and he notices. He stops his armies and they look back. As they try to smell me and get my area, someone appears – and that’s Rose. Rose tells them that a rogue is approaching and as she does, it calms my mind down and buys me time to escape – I am sure she’s trying to escape too so maybe she lied but I don’t stay to watch the scene. I take to my heels and I run inside a compound then straight Into the house without being invited – thank goodness it’s only the backyard, I run away from the house when I hear two voices and after peeping I discover it’s Rose and Ben. Maybe she has escaped or maybe…? Her clone!? Fire! Fire! Escape!
I escape and after running few kilometres, I enter into another house and instead of landing on the soft cushion chair, I land on a solid object.
**********
“Don’t be afraid. It is the real me. I didn’t die.” Dylan tells me, after jerking up and kissing my forehead. “You saw my clone on the way and I’m sure Ben has taken your clone instead.”
“Dad?” Tears drop down my eyes. “Dad, for real? You didn’t die?”
He sniffles. “I didn’t.” Then he smiles and i force a smile too but tears overcome though tears of joy.
“So, Dad, what is next?” I ask him. “I should be in school now.”
“If you return to school, Jude might mark you as his mate.” He replies. “Stick to me here.”
“Okay, Dad. But let me explain it all to you, Dad. Jude has really made mum and i suffer. Greatly. Taking us to his pack by force while you were gone.” I tell him and he hugs me more.
“Don’t worry. Here is the analysis. I joined Jude’s armies as a spy and he didn’t know…”
“How is that possible? He’s so powerful.” I cut in.
“Through the wizard’s power.” He retorts.
“You have the wizard power?”
“We all must have it.” He tells me and I shudder.
“Don’t be scared. I’ll return to the pack and we will reconnect again, okay?” He says, and i nod.
“This is a vampire’s diary. I made a copy. Hold it tight. Jude has suffered you greatly – Isabella explained everything to me in her mind link and I’m sure Greg will catch up with me soon since he’s home with Isabella.
“Can’t you just go home now?” I ask him
He chuckles, and replies, “We are here in a cave. I might be caught if I try to. But you know what, I’ll go back inside and try some more plans so we will escape.”
“Alright.” I reply, and he enters into the pack through a hole. No wonder, I’m just behind Jude’s pack house. Dad’s been stuck here. In an hour’s time, Dylan comes out of a window that must be Jude’s room, he comes out with force and with another person. As they land on the ground, they don’t wait for me, instead they dodge and wait for another person maybe to join us as he said that we will reconnect.
With a loud yell, a Vampire breaks through the window with my clone – I can clearly see her and hear her voice. Dylan joins the two of them and they head into the bush, trying to escape. I wave at Dylan to come check up on me even if he won’t take me along but he doesn’t respond. I suddenly feel a cold tap at my back and I jerk back only to see Dylan.
“We are escaping now. Greg is present here, Karl is here, Rose is here. It remains Ben and Isabella.” He whispers.
“It is her clone, not real Rose.” I correct him, and he shrugs his shoulders, saying ‘whatever.’
“I’ll summon who you love, your preferred mate to escape here with you. Okay?” He speaks as precariously blunt as ever. “He will take you to school, and we will all come to see you in school.”
“You only know this. What of others?” I ask him. “How would they see me?”
“As I said, we will all come. But, they on their own, might decide to find you through the wizard’s power and that’s through a map. It will give them stress but eventually, they will get to know you’re in school since I have releases your location.”
“So you are going now and leaving me behind?” I ask him, clutching onto his arms.
“No, why would I leave my pretty daughter behind? Maxwell will come right now, and take you to school and surely we shall come. The wizard power detects in me that this shall happen shortly before December.” He clarifies.
“Alrighty, thanks Dad, take care. I wouldn’t want to follow you right now mainly because we might encounter Ben.”
“Mostly rogues.” He retorts, and waves at me. He runs after those people and shifts into his wolf since he can’t catch up with them. Now, I’m here, waiting for Maxwell. What if Jude tries to run after them, and he discovers I’m in here?
But thank goodness, Maxwell comes on time and I see him panting as he runs towards me.
“Sophia.” He starts to sob. “Come over here, you are so stupid.” I clutch onto him, and he takes to his heels as he runs towards the school.
“Are you in your Vampire form now?” I ask him, because of the speed he’s running with.
“No. Why did you ask?” He asks, and lowers me on a stool. We are at the backyard of happy kids high school.
“Because you ran just too fast.” I tell him, and he chuckles softly.
“I’m so amazed that Dylan summoned me to come to your rescue.” He says, unbuckling his belt.
“You shouldn’t be amazed. Did you even come to search for me at all, and you claim I’m your mate?” I retort, but he doesn’t say anything. Instead, he hugs me tightly and kisses my forehead down to my lips. He stops himself suddenly, and clears his throat.
“I did my best to look for you. I even took upon myself the wizard spirit and that was why I could connect with Dylan to ask about your whereabouts and since he saw my intense and continuous caring, he ordered me to come pick you up.”
“Do you have a clone?” I ask him, flatly.
“Yes, I do. We all do.” He nods severally. “Robert has, Dylan has, you have, I have, Rose has and Ben…”
“Ben doesn’t have. He’s the root of the wizard stuff. The wizard revolution.” I tell him but he doesn’t reply.
“Screw that. Let’s go see Robert that you’re back here, ok? You know you tried to escape but we can just apologize to him.” He tells me and I nod as we head to Robert’s office.
“Robert hates to see you. So wait here. Let me go in instead.” I tell him, and knock on Robert’s door. Sighting me, he stands up and opens the door himself.
“Sop… Sophia?” He hugs me tightly and gently sits me on one of the swivel chairs.
“Yeah, sir. I’m so sorry.” I bow my head on the table but it’s more of a bang. I chuckle Inwardly as he tickles my armpit, making me wanting to laugh.
“Don’t be. Sophia. All I care about is your welfare. You good?” He tells me and I nod.
“You are good?” He repeats.
“Yes, I am good.” I tell him, and we both chuckle.
“Where are others? Rose and that Jude?”
“Oh, Rose… ” I think.
“Rose will join me here soon. She will actually come with others but that’s the festive period.”
“December 25?” He asks and since Dylan tells me they will all come before the date, I tell him, “Before 25.”
“If she doesn’t come before then, I won’t let you get mated. I mean, I won’t let your mate hang out with you at all.”
“Have I gotten my mate?” I ask him.
“The wizard power has revealed that to me. It is like three vampires struggling to grab hold of a wolf but eventually only one would get mated to the wolf after striving hard.”
“That only makes it complicated, it doesn’t explain it. Who is my mate? Remember, you said you’ll guide me the first day I got into this school.”
“Yes, sure, I will. But that Maxwell of a thing isn’t your mate, don’t hang out with him. Run away from him. Be ware.” He tells me but I don’t nod.
“So I should go with Ben or Jude?” I roll my eyes at him.
“No.”
“But it must be one of the three, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then I’m going with Maxwell.”
“That useless …” He stops speaking.
“Useless?” I retort. “You dare call my mate useless? That is curt, Robert.”
“I apologize but I’m telling you, run away from him. And about your wolf or getting mated life, we will discuss that when Rose and others join us here. You can now go.” He tells me and without thinking twice but saying thank you, I get out of his office and Maxwell holds my hands. I jerk his hands away from mine but he wonders and try again. This time, I hug him and cuddle him at the back of a class. We promise to repeat that every day and make the back of the class our love arena. After many days, we still continue but this time around, he kisses me strongly and as I return the kisses, a car honks at the gate. He does not let me look at the place – he continues to kiss me with passion but as he discovers that the people at the gate has been let in, we both enter the class and shut the windows tight.

“Sophia, your attention is needed.” Maxwell repeats and returns to normalcy.
“Rose is trying to mind link you but it doesn’t get through, it only gets to me.” He adds. Then just immediately without understanding what’s happening now, Robert’s personal assistant enters the class and asks me to come with him. We both stand up but he tells Maxwell to “sit his fvckiñg ass down.”
I follow him, and he takes me to where my parent (Dylan and Isabella), Rose, Greg, and Karl are seated. I see Rose sniffing in and out as though she’s trying to invoke a sprit but she returns to normal and i confirm that she surely mind linked Maxwell. I stand in front of my parents and they all are shocked to see me except Dylan and slightly Isabella. Maxwell is also right here with me, disobeying Robert’s P. A.
This is my point of view. So here the story continues (NEXT CHAPTER)
