ALPHA SNIPY– A VALIANT MAFIA LORD

I scurried to my step mum’s twin and stretched my hand to pat her but my hand halted halfway. I strived all I could but it was like a force was yanking me away.

Those kinda weird quirks that occur when one makes an effort to gum two north poles of a magnet together by all norms but yet doesn’t get to do it cause it’s absurd.

I gazed at Declan for aid and he understood and also attempted to caress her but got repelled in a more drastic way. The invisible force hurled him away and my step mum’s twin suddenly got concealed by a dark fog.

“What’s happening to her?” I sobbed staring at all of them but none said a thing.

“We have to leave Mistress. I guess her part in our story ends here” Dagrin asserted and patted my back.

“Nah! She can’t just die like that Dagrin. Not now that we’ve won the war. I already accepted her as my mum I can’t bear losing her.”

“Brother is right Mistress. We can’t dispute sacred occurrences. I’m sorry but life has taken her away from us. All I pray is that she has an eternal rest in the chambers of Jah.”

“In life, we tend not to possess things as we desired. I don’t know much of evil beings but in a novel I read in my teenage years I discerned that the killer of a queen or king of a fraternity takes over from where they ended as the new queen or king” the Queen clarified.

“But if that’s the case Queen then why is she laying there breathless?” Linda asked with a raised brow.

“What if she’s undergoing the law of initiation?” Jayden whispered. “If she’s lifeless then I don’t think that dark fog will still be coating her.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“I’m as stunned as you all are but then we have to leave. We still have another mission yet to be fulfilled. Let’s go home, guys.”

“Ok Mistress” Declan and Dagrin retorted and helped me stand. “Any last words for her?” Declan added and I turned my back on them and my step mum’s body in tears.

“Dear twin, you proved to me that sisters can be drastically distinct from each other. You ascertained to me that not everyone is horrible and that good folks still exist. You annihilated your twin, your blood just to keep me and my brother safe in exchange for your life. I love you mum. But it heaves me to tears that you departed when my soul already accepted you. A hero you are and will always be. You will forever remain in our hearts. I love you, sweet mum. Rest in peace.”

“A minute of silence for our female hero” Declan ordered in a broken voice and tears cascaded down his cheeks. We obeyed his order and he turned away from the body.

“A time to live and a time to die. I didn’t spend much time with you twin but I never stopped thinking about you cause you showed us so much love even when we made you pay for the sin you didn’t commit. You will forever have a golden place in my heart. I love you legend” Dagrin whispered and turned away from the body.

“The little moments I spent with you were golden. You stole my heart in the space of hours. I love you my combatant” Ariana confessed and turned.

“I’ve always known love to be a sweet feeling but you made it to be more than a feeling. I don’t know if I could kill my twin if I happened to have one but you showed me that I should do anything to be in the light. I love you, my sweetie. Keep on resting in peace” Linda mumbled and turned.

“C’mon dude, will you let your mafia Lord die?” That was your words to me the day you came to call on me and Lucas. You did all you could until you convinced me to fight. I was shocked when you explained that you were going to fight against your twin but just that act made me accept your request. I love you” Jayden asserted and turned.

“I’m speechless right now twin. They have already said it all but then all I have to say is that you have my everlasting respect. You remain my hero. I love you” Lucas whispered and turned.

“In you, I saw my little self. A selfless lady who will do anything to keep peace in abundance. Keep on resting in truce Joya rara” the Queen said and turned too.

We raised all our guns in the air and wasted the remaining bullets in it and were about to leave when a female figure in a dark cloak appeared before us.

“Who are you?” I asked shivering. “What do you want?”

“I come in peace. I’m only here to explain your step mum’s last words. And why her twin has been taken.”

“We are listening,” The Queen said and we bobbed our heads.

“Long time ago your step mum fell in love with your dad as you already know. She was so in love with him that she cursed an old woman just because the woman mistakenly blocked her path when she was rushing to meet your dad. But she never knew the old woman wasn’t mortal but an ancient dark spirit. The dark spirit initiated her into the fraternity she created against her wish and made her the Queen. The dark spirit also cursed her that she will never have peace or freedom unless if killed and that was why she said those last words. She killed your mum not just because your mum ended up with your dad but because she didn’t end up with the man that made her get cursed. Indeed she’s free now and even though you call her evil we find her actions a bit justifiable.”

“We don’t care about her history figure!” Jayden growled. “All we wanna know is why is her twin lifeless.”

“It’s a law in the fraternity that whoever kills a Queen dies. She’s gone.”

The figure faded away and my stepmom remained lifeless in that dark fog.

“Let’s go” I whispered and we all entered the piper and took off in heavy hearts. “Your family’s assassins are next” I added, staring at Declan and Dagrin and they nodded.
