Chapter 412 The Spell Leaf

 Gracie's Point of view…..

Watching myself say all those things without knowing how to stop it was worrying me so much. The moment I saw the necklace, it was like I got trapped and my inner self had to surface. I was fighting myself so hard yet my efforts were in vain. I think Theopihilus figured out that whatever that is happening to me has to do with the necklace so he tried to remove it and I did not know what was keeping him from removing the necklace from my neck.

  I wanted to ask him what's holding him but I said I like him instead.

"I like you too but you have to fight this Gracie. I am sorry you have to be saying all these things."

He said. I could tell he is feeling bad. Whatever this necklace is, I am not going near it if it comes off my neck this time around.

   Huddy stared at me trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Something lit up in her eyes and she smiled.

"I will be right back"

She said and hopped away.

Theopihilus was still battling with the necklace.

  "Why do you want the necklace to come off? I like it"

I found myself saying. I hissed in my mind.

   "It has to, you are not yourself, alright?"

He replied, frustrated.

  Huddy hopped back with a leaf in her mouth. She made a sign for me to take it off her mouth but instead of me doing as she said, I stared at her, unable to move my hand.

  I think Theopihilus figured her out and pulled up the leaf from her mouth.

  "What's this for?"

He asked and when Huddy realized he can't hear her she faced me.

   "Gracie, you need to sniff on the leaf. It will make you snap out of your trance"

Huddy said.

  "But I don't want to. I want to remain like this"

I heard myself saying. The worst part of this is that I can't make myself do otherwise. Within me, I want this to stop but the power of the necklace is stronger.

  Huddy made a sign to Theophilus and he got a clue of what is to be done with the leaf. He turned me to face him and made me sniffed the leaf.

  The moment the scent hit my nostril, I got hold of myself. It was a huge relief and the next thing I found myself doing was pulling the necklace off my necklace but it got stuck like last time.

   "Since you are off the necklace's spell, why don't you leave the necklace on your neck. You look pretty on it"

Huddy suggested and I sighed.

  "Fine, I am keeping it."

I said and looked at Theophilus

"Thanks for the necklace, I know you did not have an evil intention when you gave me the necklace so I am keeping it"

  I said and he smiled.

"You were kind of cute when you were under the necklace spell."

  He said and chuckled and I glared at him but something hit me. What if he gave me the original necklace and that's why I had to act like that because it was made for his bride. I don't want to think about it but I had to ask him.

  "Fang boy, did you give me the replica like you said or the original because I felt weird the first time I wore that necklace"

He moved back a little.

  "I guessed I gave you the original, see ya"

  He said and disappeared.

I sighed and sat down on the bed. Why did he have to give me the original necklace? I don't think it's by accident because if it is, he would have tried all means to get the necklace off my neck. The reason he wanted it off my neck is because I was acting weird and now that he saw that I had snapped out of the spell, he actually wanted me to keep it.

  Who would give something meant for his beloved to another? unless there is something I am not understanding.

   I shook my head and stared at Huddy.

"Thank you for getting my back. You really saved me. By the way, what kind of leaf is that?"

   "The leaf is an antidote to spell magic. It nullifies every spell, no matter how strong the spell is. It's called the spell leaf"

She replied.

  "What an irony?, the leaf works against spell yet it's called Spell leaf"

I thought.
