Chapter 156 - One Hundred And Fifty-Six : You Know What I Want Sabrina

"Yeah, I'll be back in school next week. Of course, they can occupy my position and enjoy it as long as it lasts cause I'll be back to take my place. Alright, see ya "Caroline ended the call and sighed afterward.

She dropped the phone on her nightstand and stared at her reflection on the mirror, specifically focusing on the red hearing aid resting behind her right ear - the only flaw on her perfect body.

It had been hard to live with the fact she wouldn't be able to hear for the rest of her life without those devices, she had been disheartened.

But she had to survive, Linda had left her but Alexa was still out there, she had to be strong for her.

Suddenly the door to her room was opened causing her to glance up at her…

" Mom? "

Another figure walked in.

"Dad? "

"How are you doing today my baby " Her mom came to sit on the edge of her bed while her dad stood beside his wife.

"I'm good, I feel pretty good. I can't wait to start actually " She told them excitedly.

Then she slowly regarded her dad, he hasn't spoken a word since he walked in, which was totally unlike him.

In fact, her sixth sense was telling her something was wrong, why would mom and dad just walk into her room at the same time to say

'Hi '.

Caroline licked her lips and asked carefully. " What are you both doing here? Mom, I thought you had a meeting with the founding families and Dad, didn't you say something about going to visit Charlie ? "

She slowly watched her parent's interactions, they weren't looking at her straight in the eyes, what's going on with them?

A nervous smile appeared on her face, " Mom? Dad? What's wrong? Did something happen? Is there something you both are not telling me? "

Caroline could feel it deep down in her bones, something has happened and from their gloomy features, it sometimes seems to be related to her.

Suddenly, her mom took her hand in hers, stroking the top of her palm gently. "Before any other thing, I want you to know that we did our best Caroline "

"Mom you're scaring me," She said to her mom while having a foreboding that someone had died.

Out of nowhere, she felt nauseous, when she suddenly had this absurd thought that her friend Alexa had died.

"We found her body Caroline, Alexa is dead "

Her heart sank and she quickly retracted her hands from her mother's grip.

"Alexa is dead " kept on echoing in her head.

" W-what ? "? she choked.

Tears fell from her mom's eyes, " I'm sorry but we've just lost Alexa "

Caroline shook her head in disbelief, "You can't be serious, it's a lie! Alexa can't be dead!? You're all pulling my legs! "

She knew she sounded stupid, why would her parents pull her leg over such an important issue but ...she still didn't want to believe it. Alexa was not dead!.

"M-mom " A sob threatened to choke off her voice. " Tell me that's not true….Alexa is not gone yet, right? "

"My poor daughter " She wailed and gathered Caroline into her arms.

"Mom, tell me she's not dead " She cried this time aloud and bitterly.

"It's going to be okay my child " Her mom comforted her, smoothing her hair and rubbing her back as Caroline cried on her shoulder.

"Stop crying, sweetie. " Her father offered his own words " I know it's pretty hard for you and it's never going to be easy losing someone you love, but it gets easier the more you keep on holding onto life and cherishing the memories "

It took a lot of time and effort but Caroline eventually calmed down, but that sharp glint in her eyes was gone. It would really take time for her to stop grieving.

"We're heading to Alexa's place right now to see her parents and if you don't want to come, I totally understand, " Mom said but she nodded her head.

"No, I'll come. I need to come " She wiped away the tears that flowed down freely from her eyes.

Her mom took a deep breath, "Alright, we would give you a few minutes to wash away those tears and meet us downstairs "

Caroline felt lethargic as if she had lost all the will to live. The memories she spent with Alexa began to play like a movie in her mind and she realized horribly, she was never a good friend - She realized late.

She didn't do a lot of things for Alexa nor Linda; instead, she treated them like her personalized servants.

Caroline washed her face in the sink and dolled up a bit to liven her dull expression.

Amid the makeup, her red-rimmed eyes and puffy eyes as a result of crying still stood out - A total waste if she would say, but she didn't want to go there looking like a zombie.

Suddenly Caroline heard a message come into her phone, she dropped her makeup brush and picked up her phone.

She opened the message but frowned, it was from a strange number but that was until she read the contents.

Unknown number: Thank you for being my friend.

Caroline paled, then froze. She released a startled gasp before her hands flew to her mouth. Alexa must have sent this to her before whatever happened to her.

A wretched sob tore from her throat again and this time she cried more heavily than earlier.

She was such a horrible friend yet Alexa still loved her and now the guilt was hurting her so much. She should have done a lot of things for her, show her every day she was grateful she got her as a friend but it was too late, there's no turning back the clock.

Caroline's brows narrowed together when she discovered a second message.

Unknown number: Lia...

She scratched the back of her head in confusion, Lia? Who was Lia?

Suddenly her eyes widened, could it be Alexa knew the identity of whoever murdered her and died trying to send this? Was this the name of the murderer?

Oh my God, her parents need to see this.

"Mom!? Dad! "

--------------------

"Dan, please calm down " Sabrina tried to calm her boyfriend who was as furious as a bull.

"I should calm down?! Sabrina, he almost got you killed! " he pointed out angrily.

"But I didn't die, did I? "

"You could have, you know how cruel the council can be ! "

"I know Dan, but it was a mistake, Ben didn't mean to harm me for Christ sake " She tried to reason with him.

" But you - "

"Christ! Dan, I'm not Monique! " She said in a burst of anger.

Dan froze.

Sabrina froze too. Finally, she has done it!

" I-I didn't mean it that ... "

But Dan didn't stay to listen to the rest of her words cause he vanished right away.

"Great " Sabrina sighed and rubbed her temple, her head was throbbing. Monique was Dan's mate who mistakenly died while rescuing someone else.

Since then, he hasn't opened up his heart to someone else and now he finally has, Dan has this phobia that something bad is going to happen to her without him by her side.

"Fieri posset Catus " Sabrina said a spell and the half-finished dishes from earlier began to wash by itself while a broom resting against the door began to sweep the floor without assistance.

All of a sudden, someone slow claps from behind, and everything stopped moving. Sabrina rolled her eyes and turned to face Raphael who just stole an apple from the fruit basket on top of the kitchen counter.

"Your love story is such a dramatic one," He said and took a huge bite out of the fruit.

"I don't remember inviting you here Raphael, what do you want? " Sabrina asked with a scowl on her face.

Raphael pouted his lips, " Is that how you treat someone who helped secure your powers? "

"I'm in no mood to play games with you "

"When are you going to tell the others you still have your powers? " He still pressed on with his questions.

Contrary to what the others thought, she had not lost her powers that night.

After she discovered Ozark and Raphael's powers work hand in hand, she secretly got them to replicate her when she received Amala's summon.

Sabrina had always been smart, so she had been suspicious when Amala summoned her at such a critical moment. Amala had taken her copy's powers, not her's.

So she struck a deal with Raphael, replicating her in exchange for a favor.

"It's better they don't know now, when the time is right I'll tell them. Besides, the council thinks I'm powerless and it's best it remains that way" She told Raphael who gave her an indifferent look.

" Then what about our deal? " He reminded her.

" What do you want Raphael? "

He smiled, "You know what I want Sabrina "

Sabrina's expression darkened, "You have got to be kidding me "
