Chapter 25: Acceptance and the truth behind Beatrice

Third POV

Crisanto and Eric didn't continue their search of Beatrice since Eric still needs to fully control his powers, much less, he also needed to fully form his dark pair of wings.

"I'm worried of her..." Eric stated, Crisanto snorted. "As much as I am too, we have to worry about that incomplete wings of yours first because tomorrow is time for school. We can't risk of the people finding out about our origins and also that we aren't legends, as we also shouldn't mingle of the humans business." Crisanto reminded him, as he patched Eric's growing wings by bandages.

"What do you mean we can't mingle, we have been involved in the humans business for such a long time now, especially that we are Beatrice friends." The friends part really sounds so bitter in the two males tongues.

"Beatrice isn't meant to be human in the first place after that certain incident that had happened in her life." Crisanto replied, as he sighed and sat down on the couch.

"What do you mean by that?" Eric asked, making Crisanto look at him in the eyes. "Ever since I transferred here, I already know Beatrice past, she, and her parents got into an accident, it was her parents faults in the very start."

"What? How-?" Eric couldn't find the right words, as Crisanto continued. "Beatrice parents, hid the fact that she was the granddaughter of the mafia boss, while her grandfather only want to see and held Beatrice by his hands, he had no ill intentions towards Beatrice, but Beatrice parents didn't believe it." Crisanto paused for a second.

"What happened after that?" Eric questioned, Crisanto sighed and clenched his fist. "Because of her parents selfishness, it came to the part that the mafia chased them down, though, the mafia didn't know that they had a spy that had been with them all the time, the spy however knew that Beatrice mother, is the daughter of the mafia boss and her father is the famous detective. The spy didn't give them a chance and shoot one of the car's tire that the Finley was riding causing to to crash into the other incoming car." Crisanto replied, but Eric still want the male to continue.

"That time, it was supposed to be Beatrice time, it was supposed to be only her parents who survived..." His voice cracked while Eric tensed.

"But for some reason, her spirit didn't came out, the reaper who was waiting to retrieve her soul was surprised, when he saw that in his book list, where Beatrice name was in his soul retrieval, was also in the living book. He was confused because it was the only time that it happened, that is until he had noticed that Beatrice was holding something, something she really wants to do, a promise she couldn't break, as her one single tear slipped down towards her cold cheek. Her last wish is that, let her have a second chance to mend the relationship of her family, as she doesn't care what will be her consequences." Crisanto finished as he shook his head, Eric was deep in thought.

"I never knew she had gone through that pain. Does she have an idea of that? Or does she even remember?" Eric stated, Crisanto shook his head. "Sadly no. Though, she will discover the power that is hidden in her eventually, and she will also be drown to that wish of hers even though she doesn't know." Crisanto explained.

"Does that mean, her consequence is having a power?" Eric said in confusion, but Crisanto's brow furrowed. "No, her power is more like a curse, let's just hope she will know how to use it." Crisanto sighed.

~Beatrice Dream~

The dark Beatrice keep Beatrice company throughout her dream realm.

"Can I possibly call you Teresa? I can't just call you Dark me, since it will be sounds confusing." Beatrice stated, the dark her hummed in agreement.

"By the way, how did you get in here? Since if this is an ordinary dream I shouldn't have been talking to you this much and you also answered me like you are a real one." Beatrice pointed out making Teresa grin.

"That's so smart of you to figure out~" She sang, Beatrice look at her. "A wish comes a price you know, by making a wish, there is either a curse or a blessing that will be gift to you."

Beatrice was confused, so confused I tell you, she doesn't remember of making any wish. "But... I don't remember wishing for something at all..." Beatrice stated, making Teresa hummed.

"Really? Are you sure about that?" Beatrice nodded. "Then, I don't know!" Teresa shrugged, she doesn't need to reveal it, since it will come eventually, she aren't allowed to tell it to her.

Even though she is also a part of her, it's still forbidden, it's against the law.

Beatrice POV

I don't understand, I didn't make any wish, this is so confusing.

I recalled back the time but still, there aren't one memory which I made a wish, well, I have three wishes but that is impossible to happen and I didn't even wish it in a wishing well or something that can grant wishes.

It will also be impossible if it's a genie since there is no such a thing as a genie in a bottle, they are only fantasies in the television.

So, I really don't know what she meant.

"Beatrice..." Teresa called, making me look at her. "I can't promise you anything but I'm always here, ready to help, just call me and I'll be able to switch with you, or I can come out from your shadows but, the most safest way is taking over your body." I nodded in understanding.

"And also..." I tilted my head. "You should accept of what you are and your family, you have to help your family reunite also, because there will be much, much, more enemies that you will face. And also those who you don't expect to exist. Good luck... your starting to wake up..." Teresa finished.

"WAIT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?!" I run towards her but I was too late, I was now seeing the ceiling of my room in the Mafia.
