Chapter 448 - THIRTEEN YEARS OLD (12)

Hope was packing her belongings sullenly, she just discharged from hospital yesterday and Serefina had arranged everything for her.

They would move out of this city.

Hope was upset, but her guilty stopped her from complaining. Actually this was the best result that she could get.

Whatever Kace told Serefina, it worked.

The witch didn't scold her or she was being punished after the ruckus that she had created, but her decision couldn't be changed this time.

She was determined for them to move from this city, therefore, here Hope was, pull and stuck all of her books, clothes and all of her precious possession.

Lana came to her room after she had done with her things to check on her.

"Can't I, at least say goodbye to my friends?" Hope raised her head, staring at Lana with her doe- eyes, pleading.

Lana was always her friends since Hope early memories, she didn't seem ages and only looked more stunning every time Hope has time to observe her.

Well, she looked aging, yet for her case she only looked more mature and s.e.xy in her callous personality, but gentle enough if it came about Hope.

The first time Hope was aware about the attraction for the opposite s.e.x, she thought Kace was with Lana. Because why not? Both of them were beautiful and perfect with each other, not to mention they were from same kind.

"They will not remember you." Lana helped Hope to pack her things that she had been doing it half heartedly.

Hope's jaw dropped open, she knew what exactly was that mean. "How far Serefina had erased their memories!?" She could hear her own voice was shaking and her question came out as a high pitch voice.

"All about the event that night and.." Lana paused to stuff all of Hope's book inside a box. ".. all about you."

Hope couldn't believe it! She thought Serefina would only make them forget about what was happening in Sebastian's house, not to erase all of the memory about her entirely.

"All about me?" that was cruel.

"I am sorry Hope, but yes." Lana tousled her head, offered a little bit sympathy before she finished what Hope couldn't do because of the shock that was going through her systems rendered her speechless and paralyzed.

It was true that not all the memories was the happy one, but even it was a sad memory, Hope still chose not to forget it.

No. She still had it, but not with the other people that she had created those memories with. They forgot about that, forgot about her.

Probably and most likely it was true, they no longer remembered that she actually ever existed. Hope knew how powerful the witch was.

Before, she always admired her for that, dreaming if she was also a witch like her, but now she could feel the hatred that engulfed her heart.

What Serefina had done was too meant. She didn't have to do that, right?

==============

It was a serene night after the fight in the red river city and Lana was a little bit restless by the fact that they would go back to the mystic river village, near the northern coven, again.

historical

There was something that didn't settle well with her with that fact.

The first time she joined Kace and Serefina was because she was heading to the northern coven to find her fae mother after her own pack was being attacked by vampire.

Yet, when she was there and became part of this small family, well she couldn't say this was a family, but still what Serefina, Hope and Kace offered to her was the close one, Lana no longer cared to find out about her mother in northern coven.

However now, after the ruckus that Hope had done, they would go back to that place and Lana didn't think that was the best idea, at least not for her, especially when Serefina had a plan for her that she couldn't refuse.

A knock on the table startled her and made her jumped out of her skin. Lana whipped her head in alert with stern look on her face, but her feature softened when she caught a sight of Kace, standing right before her eyes with arms crossed over his chest.

"What are you thinking until you don't realize I am here?" He asked with a small frown between his eyebrows.

"Oh, no.." Lana gulped hard and shook her head, she was too engrossed with her own thought that she failed to notice him.

"Don't blame yourself, Hope was in her rebellion age." Kace grinned with his own statement. "It's not your fault."

"Hm." Lana hummed as she lowered her head. Honestly, she indeed felt guilty for what Hope had done, it seemed like she had failed to look after her, but that wasn't the reason why she was spacing out. "Hope is sulking in her room since this afternoon."

Lana decided to change the topic and she was very sure Kace wouldn't miss it the moment she mentioned his mate.

"What happen to her?" He straightened his back, ready to dash out toward Hope's room, whether Lana gave her the answer or not.

And she chose to answer it. "She is upset because Serefina erased all of her friends' memories about her."

Right on cue, the moment Lana finished her sentences, Kace stomped his feet toward the direction of Hope's room while grumbling something like; 'this witch!', 'Stupid Serefina!'.

Lana followed Kace figured until he disappeared at the corner of the corridor.

How nice was it to have someone who looked after you.. Hope was lucky to have someone like Kace, to be his mate.

Sometime Lana envied the little girl for her ignorance, clueless about what she had and how cruel this world could be.

Lana slumped on her seat, staring blankly at the spot where Kace was standing a while ago. She had been staring at his empty spot for these past thirteen years..
