Chapter 2 Leave my daughter alone!

Diamond stars was a school for artists, famous vocalists and exquisitely talented musicians. They built young teenagers, they brought out the talents in them. Everyone had special abilities and talents, none of them should be wasted. The famous Winston families were well known in Los Angeles. They family owned Winston highschool, music industry and many companies.

Winston had only two children, Abel Winston and Kyle Winston. Kyle Winston was known for his special talent, he was an eminent vocalist. He made a great band with his members, Timothy, Owen, Scott, Harry and Raymond. Kyle was more like an introvert among them but whenever he was with his band members, he could be mistaken for an extroverted person.

They all had their closest friends. Timothy and Kyle had been friends since childhood and their friendship was strong that on one could come between them.

It hurt when the one you called your best friend kept a secret. Kyle would have let the matter go but why would he keep what happened to his sister away from him. Timothy thought it was the best thing to do since Kyle's parents didn't want to tell him either, and it almost led to the destruction of their friendship.

Timothy wasn't ready to give up on it, he would continue to beg him till he finally found a way to let it go.

"I still can't believe Kyle and I have to fight over the same issue. I knew it, it's all my fault but he has to forgive me. But wait, if I haven't asked Abel to stay that night maybe she won't have got herself into trouble." Timothy said miserably. "Even if he forgives me, I won't forgive myself. It isn't his parent fault that they hide the truth away from him." He added.

One thing about him was that he was hot-tempered. He would avoid everyone when he lost control of himself, he had the problem since he was a kid. He knew what he could and to avoid it, he'd distanced himself from everyone. It was four months that he had left Los Angeles for Iceland. Timothy wondered what was going on with him. He wanted the old Kyle back, his best friend not the new grumpy buddy.

"Hey Tim, any hope yet?" Raymond asked as he walked into the living room.

"Not yet. He hasn't made up his mind." He replied with a long sigh.

"When are you going to stop doing that, huh? It wasn't your fault that she's dumb. I'm pretty sure someone is behind it." Harry snapped. He was getting pissed off. Everyone knew it was never Timothy's fault but he failed to admit it.

"Really? If it wasn't my fault then whose fault? He calls me his friend but I betray him. He has every right to be mad at me. I should have told him from the beginning. I sincerely regret what I did"

"If you don't ask her to stay back that night, believe me she will. She badly wanted to see Kyle that day and that was the reason why she slept over. But I'm curious about what she saw in the woods." Scott said. His voice sounded like a female's. It would be hard to choose between his voice and Kyle's voice.

"We all have to talk to him and beg him to come back. I miss him like crazy. I hope he reunites with his parents too. Seriously, they really hurt him by keeping away from the truth about what happened to his sister." Owen mumbled, putting the earphone on his head.

"Have you heard any news from Davis about the voice contest? Timothy steered the conversation.

"Not really. The contest is still going on." Said Harry.

"Oh, okay.

"Davis said we should come to the studio tomorrow." Raymond divulged and rose. "I gotta prepare for that." He said then left.

"Such a good manager. Seriously, I don't want the break to end." Scott whined. Harry glanced over at him, he shook his head when their eyes met. He was getting bored of the break. They had been doing nothing for the last two months.

"Me too." Owen mumbled and Harry shot him a playful glare.

ODETTE REMOVED THE pins that kendra had used to hold her hair together. She returned them back into the box and kept it inside the drawers.

She scurried on the bed then looked up. Everyday, every second she always thought her power would soon fade away. She felt different everyday but there was something she couldn't decipher, what was the strange connection she had with the woman. She wanted to help her but she kept telling her she was going to lose her voice.

The door to her room slid open and Sharon ambled inside. " Odette. " She called out. Odette remained calm in the bed without moving. "Odette."

"Sharon, where are your manners?" She sat up, looking infuriated. She hated it when Sharon banged inside her room without knocking. She glared at her and clenched her fist in the bed.

"Calm down Odette. I'm here for a deal not to fight." She said innocently.

She rolled her eyes at her, she knew Sharon was faking it again.

"I wonder why you're still alive. How I wish I could end your life right now." She said, staring at her sternly.

"Remember, I'm still your stepmother. I have answers to your thousand questions." She smirked.

Odette deliberately spared her for a reason, she didn't have to kill her.

"Stepmother or maid? You brute! You killed my parents. You enchanted my dad because you wanted him to marry you. Trust me once I get what I want I'll vanquish you, Sharon." She seethed as she leaped to her feet.

"Try to think of it, Odette. I get rid of your mother, do you think I can't get rid of you also?" She asked with a mischievous smirk. Odette looked at her face and she wished she could drag her out of her room before she did something crazy.

"You think it's gonna happen? So gross. Well, good luck... Sharon." Sharon knew her power wouldn't work on Odette. Her magic was useless no matter how hard she tried.

She hesitated "I'm not here for that, Odette. I want you to help Kennedy. She wants to participate in a voice contest and you will be the one to sing. If you sing I'm going to return your pearl pin to you."

With a chuckle she gazed at her face unbelievably. "Are you serious?" She nodded.

" yes."

"Why don't you shoot your shot and beg me to sing? I know you won't give me that pin but once I get my pin back, Sharon, you're in trouble." She walked up to the door. She opened it wide and gestured to her to leave her room. "Leave my room... Now."

"I don't care about what you're gonna do." Sharon snarled.

"You know your spell or magic has no effect on me. Think big, think big, Sharon." Odette said solemnly.

"I wonder why you haven't lost your power yet after all the tricks but you keep getting more powerful." She mumbled but she heard her.

"Are you curious? Why don't you use another trick Sharon?." Furious, cursing underneath, Sharon strolled toward the door.

"I swear I'm not gonna force you to sing, you will come to me and beg for mercy." She whispered to her and strolled out of the room.

"Trick? What trick is she talking about? Odette asked herself as she sat on the stool facing the mirror.

Sometimes she thought she was a witch because only witches possess such a mysterious power. Eyes change, hair glow, see through someone, put someone on a spell and do what others couldn't. She had told herself she was never a prophecy.

SHARON HAD HURRIED to the room. She lifted the long scarf off the mirror. She sat on the chair and looked at her reflection in the mirror.

Suddenly Daisy appeared in the mirror. She seemed to have cried because her eyes were red. Furiously, she struggled with the chains.

"Sharon, leave Odette alone. If anything happens to her I will never forgive you. Fight me and leave her alone. " she yelled as she tried to break through the strong chains. It was futile, the spell Sharon had cast on the chains was strong and her own power had become weak.

"Calm down Daisy. It's 19 years that I've enchanted you but you're still alive. How? Don't tell me that you haven't lost your power yet?" Sharon uttered calmly as she picked the box where she had kept the Pearl pin.

She brought the pin out and put it inside a steel bowl. She took a knife and cut her hand, she allowed the blood to drop in the bowl. She dipped the pearl pin inside the cup. She added a green potion and returned the small bottle to where she took it from. She raised Odette's brush and removed a strand of her hair then dipped it inside the bowl. She recited spells till it started burning. The blaze of fire lit up the room. She was performing the ritual to torment Daisy and to kill her. Daisy started feeling pain as the chains became red as fire.

"Aha. Stop it, you're hurting me, Sharon." Daisy groaned as she was shaking. Sharon recited more spells till her hair turned gray.

Daisy stopped groaning. When Sharon sensed the room was hushed she glanced over the mirror. Daisy isn't moving anymore and her head is down.

"Dead end." Sharon laughed evilly.

Daisy lifted her head slowly. "You think you can get rid of me by keeping doing this? Of course not Sharon, even if you use Odette's hair you won't still get rid of me. Sharon leave my daughter alone and face me instead." She yelled.

"How? You can't live Daisy... who the hell are you?" She was getting perplexed. She couldn't kill her no matter how she tried.

"I know that is the question you've been dying to ask but I'm not gonna answer that question. " she said.

"W-what?" She widened her eyes when Daisy shut the vision.

" Come back, Daisy. " She shouted furiously but Daisy never showed up. She had gone.

"Gosh!." She clenched her fist and almost hit the mirror. She stopped half way when she remembered that it was her only way to see Daisy. Her only way to communicate with her.

"I have to do something. Daisy, you can't be alive." She wandered the room for a minute before stomping out. It would be hazardous if she let Daisy live. She would figure out what the problem was and put an end to everything.

She entered her room and brought out the book of elders in the drawer.

"Why can't I get rid of her? Why?" She paced around the room ponderously. She turned the next page and her eyes beamed when she saw something exhilarating.

"I need Odette's voice. " She told herself.
