Sweet Redemption: The Morningstar Series Book 3
Sweet Redemption Chapter 51

After Bianca made me eat another full sandwhich we finally went out searching again. We started at the back of castle.

There are no backdoors or other exits. Another very odd thing. We were searching the walls and floors and had been at it for over an hour.

"Baby I don't think we are going to find anything." Bianca told me. I just shrugged her off.

I'm close to something I can feel it. I moved to the ballroom and started opening random storage doors.

"Ahkari you are acting insane about this." She said but I ignored her.

I was getting close to something I can feel it. Something is here. Has to be here. I was moving around at top speed and I could feel Bianca's irritation through the bond. Again, I ignored her. She doesn't understand how important this is.

"I have to find it." I mumbled under my breath.

"Find what?" Bianca asked but I barely registered her words.

"Ahkari!" She shouted at me but I kept my search.

Suddenly I was punched in the gut so hard I went flying into a wall and fell to the ground. My angry eyes snapped up at the threat, only to find my mate glaring at me and breathing heavy.

I stood up and matched her glare as I wiped the blood from the corner of my mouth.

"Get out of my way Bianca." I said dangerously.

Bianca's eyes went wide before narrowing them at me.

"Or what?" She spat at me.

My hands clenched into fists.

"Get. The f**k. Out. Of. My way." I gritted out each word.

Sadness flashed in her bright eyes but she hid it quickly.

Bianca was silent for a moment and I was about to push past her when she spoke again.

"Why?" She asked.

"I need to find it." Was all I said.

"Find what Ahkari?" Bianca asked me slowly but her voice was hard. "What are you looking for?"

Something in her voice had me feeling fuzzy. What am I looking for again? That strange anxious feeling came over me once more. I have to find it. Where is it? I need to find it.

Pushing past Bianca I started searching again. It's here. I know it's here. I need to find it. In my frantic search I didn't even notice that Bianca had left me. I also didn't realize it when anyone came back. "Ahkari?" I vaguely registered my twins voice.

I was still in the ballroom and I was now tearing up the flooring with my bare hands.

"Ahkari.." My twin sister crouched in front of me. I didn't look at her. "Kari what are you doing?" She asked.

"It's here. I know it's here. I can feel it." I mumbled over and over again.

I was still ripping up the flooring when I heard them start to talk behind me.

"Something is possessing her." Simon said lowly.

"I can't reach through to Sage at all." Acaisia's voice came.

Sage...

I know that name.

Sage..

Who is that? Why do I feel loss over that name?

I shook my head. No time. I need to find it. It's in this room I can feel it.

"What are we going to do?"

That voice.. That voice sounded so broken. I hate hearing the deep sadness in that voice. For the first time I paused what I was doing. What am I doing again? Why am I doing this? I'm looking for something right? "Ahkari.." That same voice came, this time sounding different.

It knocked me out of my paused state and now I was back to tearing up the flooring.

"Unless Bianca can break her of this haze I don't see what we can do." Simon said.

A sob.

Someone sobbed.

That sound..

A whimper escaped me, but I couldn't stop. I have to find it.

"Bianca don't." I heard Bou's voice.

"I'm just supposed to let this keep happening? Look at her! She's possessed!" That sweet voice was now angry.

"I think we should let her keep going." My twin said.

"What!" Shouted that sweet voice.

I swear as soon as I find it I'm searching for that voice next. I need to know who it belongs to. It sounds so sweet and makes me feel tingly. Bianca..

Hmmm... That name. I know that name.

Just like I know Sage.

Who are they again?

Wait.

No time.

I need to find it first.

It's in here.

It's making me itch.

"You want to let her stay like this!?" Shouted that sweet voice. It's like butter the way it melts over me.

I f*****g love it. But no time. I'm close. I can feel it.

"She keeps saying she's looking for something. Let's let her find it." My twin said.

Finally!

Someone was on my side. She should be helping.

Can't she feel it? Doesn't she crave it? I know it's here.

Wait..

I shot up to my feet and turned for my twin.

"Do you have it?" I accused, pointing a bloody finger at her.

Acaisia gave me a strange look.

"Have what Ahkari?" She asked.

They keep doing that.

"Do. You. Have. It." I demanded an answer.

My twin looked me dead in my eyes.

"If I had it Ahkari I would give it to you. Maybe if you tell me what it is I can help you look." She offered.

I eyed her warily.

She doesn't have it.

Turning back to the floor, I kept ripping it up.

"I can't keep watching this. You have to do something Acaisia. Her fingers are bleeding!" That sweet voice yelled.

Someone sighed deeply.

"Maybe there is something I can try." My twin said.

I ignored them and kept looking.

Suddenly I felt hands on my shoulders. I was about to turn around and attack whoever was trying to stop me. A loud growl sounded in the room shaking the entire area. Before I could even move a sharp pain shot through my head making me cry out. "You're hurting her!" Someone yelled in the room.

The pain was so intense that I couldn't see straight. The room starting to spin. I thought I was going to throw up. My ears started to ring so loudly it felt like they were bleeding.

Throwing my hands over my ears I let out a gut wrenching scream. Wind started to whip around in the room so hard I was surpised I didn't fall over. I was panting hard. This s**t hurts so bad.

"No!" I shouted throwing the hands off of my back. "No! No! No! I have to find it! You can't stop me!" I turned to face the person I sent flying back.

My twin.

The same deep blue eyes I have, stared back at me. A crazed look in them. I don't remember that look being there before. Whatever. I don't have time for this. I need to find it. "It's here." Acaisia whispered.

"You knew!" I shouted accusingly at her.

My twin shook her head.

"No, I can feel it now." She said as I walked up to her.

Acaisia grabbed my hands in hers and they started to glow. Did that always happen when my twin touches me?

No. No way. I would remember that right?

My brain is foggy.

I need to find it.

"It's right here." My twin said.

Acaisia bent down and started ripping the flooring up as well. I rolled my eyes at her. At least she's helping. I went back to my area and conituned my work. "What the f**k?" Bou. That was Bou.

"They are both possessed now." Simon's bored voice said.

"What?!" Bou again.

"Now you know how I feel!" That f*****g voice is so distracting. So sweet though.

"What do we do?" Bou asked.

"We wait." Simon.

"For f*****g what?!" f**k!

Who does that voice belong to?

I need it!

Almost as bad as I need to find it.

"Until they find what they are looking for." Simon said.

"And what if they never find it?" Bou sounded angry.

I didn't even know Bou could get angry.

"Then they tear the entire castle apart and we at least find out what is possessing them." Simon is so irritating.

I don't want to hear voices.

"And how long would that take?" Except that voice.

I will listen to that voice all night.

All day.

Forever.

Forever..

Bianca..

I whimpered.

"Ahkari.. Baby are you alright?" That f*****g voice.

"I need to find it." Was all I could manage.

Whatever that voice wanted I couldn't give in.

I need to find it. It's here. It's in this room. I know it is.

Acaisia knows it is.

I am going to find it.

I have no idea what happened but thankfully the voices stopped. All there was was this buzzing coming from it. I know it's in here.

My skin is itching for it.

Time escaped me as I tore up the floor boards. Sometimes I would hear people talk behind me. They asked my twin questions to which she did not answer.

Thankfully, because it made them give up sooner.

Every once in a while that sweet voice would speak to me but I had to ignore it. I had to. If I didn't then I would give up finding it and I need to find it. It's here somewhere. I can hear it. The buzzing.

I paid no attention to anything going on except my goal. I have to find it. That buzzing won't stop until I do. The itching won't stop.

Ugh!

The itching!

Growling angrily I stood up and started to itch myself. The smell of blood filled my nostrils but I couldn't focus on that. I needed the itching to stop.

After itching my entire body and not feeling any relief I went back to what I had been doing.

When I find it the itching will stop. The buzzing will stop. And I can find that voice. That voice.. It stopped bothering me a while ago and I was thankful. How can a voice be so distracting?

"Ahkari.. Oh my Gods Ahkari! You're covered in blood! What did you do?"

That voice...
