Chapter 32
“Big sister!” Beatrix ran into the living room, straight to the couch. Seeing that Lavana was unconscious, she looked at Carl with suspicious eyes full of wrath.
“Wait! Before you kill me, I’ll tell you this. I did nothing to her. She fainted on her own.” he said with raised hands in surrender.
“Hmph!” Beatrix focused her attention back on Lavana.
“Help me carry her to the room,” she ordered but Carl retreated.
“What are you doing?” Beatrix asked, outraged.
This guy caused her to lose consciousness and wanted to shirk his responsibilities? That’s not how it’s done!
“I can’t touch her, Beatrix,” Carl confessed, looking distressed.
Remembering that loose ice chain around his neck. He was afraid that he’d be killed immediately if he went near her in the cruellest way possible.
“What nonsense! Come here right now and help me take her to the bed!” Beatrix barked.
“I can’t, alright! You want her to kill me?”
“That means you’re the reason she fainted? What did you do or say to her? It’s your fault. Get here now.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“I can’t. She or rather ‘they’ have forbidden me from touching her. What do you expect me to do?” he said in frustration.
“They? What ‘they’?” Beatrix asked.
“Beatrix, she has 3 eye colours apart from her normal eye colour.”
“What?” the little one exclaimed in disbelief.
“Not just that, she has different voices with the last sounding like a child. I really dare not to go near her. I will lose my life.”
“Hmph! You’re just making things up because you don’t want to help, huh? Fine. Don’t you worry, I’ll do it myself and then we’ll leave here immediately after she wakes up. And yeah, I’ll wipe out your memory from age 2 till now. ”
“Beatrix, that’s unreasonable!”
“Who’s unreasonable here is you, Mr Carl. It’s your fault that she’s like this.” Beatrix spat and he facepalmed in annoyance.
“Alright! Do what you wanna do. I can’t touch her. That’s all I know.” he walked into the kitchen.
“You…”
Guess she had no choice now but to make use of her witch sceptre. Lavana was unconscious. She’d never know.
She tapped twice on her index finger and the ring flew out of the finger. It transformed into her sceptre and she held it.
She looked at Lavana and sighed, closing her eyes, letting the sceptre leave her hand and just levitate.
“Oh Crystal ancestor…”
“Cough… Cough..” Lavana was no longer unconscious but hadn’t opened her eyes yet.
Beatrix thanked her stars and immediately retracted the sceptre. It turned back to a ring and slid into her finger before vanishing.
“Big sister…” she ran over to Lavana who had already opened her eyes.
“Beatrix…”
“I was scared. You suddenly fainted.”
“My mermaid spirit took over I guess,” she said with a sheepish smile.
“Big sister…” Beatrix called after helping Lavana sit and drink some water.
“Yes, dear,”
“Mr Carl is irresponsible. I told him to carry you to the guest room but he didn’t dare to. Instead, he made up lies about seeing 3 eye colours and hearing 3 voices. That’s nonsense! I promised him that we’d leave when you wake up. I can’t be here anymore. Let’s go to my home.” she said, looking pissed.
“Honey…” she called as she rose from the couch.
“Big sis?”
“Come with me,” Lavana said and walked into the guest room.
“Okay,” Beatrix said and obeyed.
But she wondered as to why Lavana’s expression suddenly changed. It had better not be a bad thing.

When she saw that Beatrix had entered, she closed the door behind her and locked it.
She headed to the bed and sat on it, beckoning on Beatrix to do the same.
When she did, Lavana sighed.
“Big sis…. is there any problem? Your face doesn’t look good.” the little girl looked worried.
“Nothing is wrong, Beatrix. I just want to let you know something. Remember, I told you I’m an Omega.”
“Yeah. But you turned out to be a mermaid. You lied.”
Lavana smiled sheepishly.
“And I also told you I was trapped in a pack before escaping.”
“Yeah.” Beatrix nodded.
“Well, in a pack there are werewolves. I told you I’m an omega. I never lied to you about that.”
“Eh? I don’t understand. Are you trying to say you are an Omega and also a mermaid? Does that make you a hybrid?” Beatrix asked in confusion.
“I’m not a hybrid. I’m a tribrid.” Lavana confessed.
“Like three identities?”
“Yeah.” Lavana nodded.
“What? That can’t be. Hybrids are seen as an abomination, and you say that you… you are a tribrid? This… You must be pulling my leg again, right? Hahaha! You must be acting again. Seriously big sis, if you want, you can be an actress on tv.” Beatrix tried to laugh it off but Lavana’s face remained serious.
“I’m not joking, little sis. I’m indeed a tribrid that is why I have a blur when you found me on the first day.”
“I thought… You’re really a tribrid?” Beatrix found it hard to believe.
“You want proof?” Lavana asked. Beatrix nodded. There were cases of hybrids which were already rare and now Lavana’s claiming to be a tribrid!
“Alright. I’ll show you.” Lavana closed her eyes for a short while. When she opened them, Beatrix got off the bed. Lavana now had claws in replacement of her fingernails and her canines had elongated into fangs.
“Gosh! You are an Omega.” the little one was convinced now. The eyes looking back at her did not belong to a mermaid but a wolf.
Lavana closed her eyes again and the features retreated. When she opened her eyes again, Beatrix gasped. Before she could say a word, Lavana’s eyes returned to normal.
“You…”
“What do you think?” Lavana asked.
“You really are a tribrid. Then Mr Carl… he was right about seeing three different eye colors and… and hearing 3 different voices?”
“Yeah. I have a wolf spirit, a mermaid spirit and a dragon spirit.”
“Dragon?”
“Yeah. Dear, I know this is a lot for you to process.”
“Big sis,” Beatrix touched Lavana’s skin.
“How did all three features fit into your skinny body?”
“Amazing right?”
Beatrix nodded.
“Do you think I’m a taboo?”
“No, no,” Beatrix shook her head vigorously.
“How could I ever think that? I think it’s cool. I’ll keep your secret safe for you big sis.” she said and then hugged Lavana’s stomach.
“I’m sorry for doubting you earlier.”
“Beatrix…” Lavana placed her hand on the little girl’s head and caressed it.
“You’re my only family, so I want you to know about me.”
Beatrix nodded.

30 minutes later, Lavana came out wearing a black t-shirt and beige floral skirt. She walked to the living room and saw Carl seated on the couch, thinking.
“Mr Carl…”
Hearing her voice, he came back to reality. He quickly rose and walked to the back of the couch.
“You… why are you behaving this way?” Lavana asked in confusion.
“I’m sorry for spewing out your secret, miss Lavana. Don’t kill me.”
“What? Why would I want to kill you?” she asked in confusion.
At this time, Beatrix had also arrived at the living room with folded arms.
Lavana looked at her.
“Did you threaten him?”
“Er… I only said I’d wipe his memory from age two and then we’ll leave. That can’t be counted as a threat, right big sis…” Beatrix blinked her eyes severally and Lavana sighed.
“Gosh! This kid…” she muttered and turned to face Carl again.
