Enigma novel Chapter 12

“Off course not. Come on in. How about we play something in the game room?” Ben said grinning brightly.

“Sure.”

I smirked when their backs turned towards us. I saw her making something in the kitchen from the side of my eyes.

We played Mario cart for a few minutes but I wasn’t paying much attention to the game. I noticed that Uncle Steven and Aunt Amara aren’t home.

This is my chance. I will threaten her to transfer back to my school. That way I wouldn’t have to come here daily and I can go back to chiding her whenever I want.

I got up saying that I needed something to drink and entered the kitchen. She was still there. I approached her with a smirk on my face as she turned towards me. I was about to speak but a groan came out of my mouth instead of words as I felt a hard kick on my baby maker. The next thing I know, I felt a blow to my temple and everything turned black.

I woke wincing in pain as my head throbbed like someone had dropped a boulder on it. What the hell? Do I have a hangover? I don’t remember going to any party.

“Ohh he is waking up.” A female voice said from near me.

What is happening?

“We can see that Val.” Came an amused male voice.

“Why does he have a purple colored forehead?”

A kid.

Where am I?

Wait a minute.

Purple forehead? Are they talking about me?

I jolted up from wherever I was laying but regretted immediately as a sharp pain went through my forehead and my groin throbbed.

I opened my eyes to find the Astley siblings and Fabian, Francis and Vivian surrounding me. Some had amused expressions while some had worried look.

Why are they looking at me like that?

“That isn’t purple Eros. It’s a mixture of black, blue, purple and red.” Elizabeth told the little demon.

Hold on a second. Why do I have a bruised forehead?

“What happened?” I croaked out.

I need water.
