Adia stood in front of a mirror as she arranged her hair, the day for Logan’s validation has finally arrived, she’s been praying that everything turns out well.
Two weeks has passed now, like it never came, and it has been like the toughest of her life, she had to adapt to a new changes in her life, from taking pills, to injections, and all, her life lately has been about drugs and medications , as Sebastian has been trying everything he can to keep her stable, every morning she’s usually fixed on a drip where two bags of blood is injected into her, she would have objected to this idea, if not that it has proved to be the best idea so far, she’s looks better each passing day, but according to the doctor Marcel, it will get to a time where that strategy will drip working on her.
She was so deep in her thoughts that she didn’t notice Sebastian walk in.
“What are you thinking about?” His voice rang in her ears, as she turned instantly to face him.
“You’re here..” she exclaimed,
“Hmm, hmm, what were you thinking about?” He asked again, as he held her both hands.
“Nothing serious, I was just thinking about Logan, I just hope today’s judgement is on his favor…” she lied,
“You shouldn’t worry about anything Adia, but just Incase, nothing is going to happen to Logan, I’ll make sure if that..” he promised her,
“I hope so..” she exhaled deeply,
“Are you ready?” He asked as she shook her head.
“Alright, come along now, you don’t want to be late..”.

Adia found herself sitting beside Sebastian in a very big hall, with just a few people present, scary looking men and women who she suspected to be the elders, and a few people she has never met before, then Logan, who was bound to chains in a corner, probably waiting for whatever judgement that might befall him.
“So this is the girl huh..” a man sucked his teeth staring intently at Adia from head to toe.
“I must say the rumors are true, she does look like your daughter, Naomie..” he said shaking his head meaningfully.
“You’re scaring her Elias Montenero..” Sebastian spat, glaring dangerously at the man who just spoke to Adia.
“Well she should be, besides she’s amongst the most powerful creatures on earth…” he remarked shoulders eyes, as Adia immediately concluded that this one must be the proud one, and did she just hear Montenero, then he’s Kate’s father, like father like daughter.
“I don’t think you should count yourself as one, you’re getting old you know..” Sebastian said softly, giving him a challenging look.
“Hey..” Elias flared up but was held back be his wife.
“That’s enough,” Ernestine chimed in stopping Elias before time, or else a fight will break out.
“Watch your tongue boy..” Elias warned.
“Make me..” Sebastian challenged as Elias glared at him.
“That’s enough you both, and you Elias, why argue with a child, you’re bigger than that..” Regis chimed in.
“Whatever..” Elias scoffed,
“We should focus on what brought us here today, we don’t have all day to waste you know..” Eugene Yannick stated.
“Look Eugene, there’s nothing to talk about, we all know it’s against the rules to kill a vampire, and that scoundrel over there, murdered me daughter, so waste no more time and pass the judgement of his execution..” he blabbed as Adia stared at him, he must be a very hard one to deal with.
“That’s where you’re wrong Elias..” Celeste began,
“You’ve spoiled your daughter so much, that you’re blinded by the things she did..” Celeste spat,
“And who are you to say that, you rebellious son over here is no different, or have you forgotten how he murdered thousands all because of a mere woman, so weak..” Elias scoffed distastefully as Sebastian clenched his fist tight, feeling the need to go over there and punch his teeth out of his mouth.
“It’s okay, just ignore his foolishness..” Adia whispered to Sebastian, placing her hands on his.
“What did you say?” Elias snapped at Adia, his eyes blazing saddles, as he bared his fangs at her.
“I didn’t mean to be rude at all because I know I’m supposed to respect all of you here, as the elders you are, but I think sir, you’re acting a little bit too much, you’ve been taking non-stop since we all came here, and it’s all unreasonable…” she concluded, holding Sebastian’s hands tight, in fear that he might attack her.
“What did you just say?” Elias asked charging at Adia.
“Enough Elias, you don’t threaten a woman like that, look at her condition, show some respect at least, it’s not as if she’s wrong..” Naomie defended,
“Speaking about what brings us here, I think you should let Logan go..” Naomie voiced out.
“We all know Kate and Aisling we’re best of friends, abd how Aisling was with Sebastian at that time, and that Kate loves Sebastian so much, or rather was blindly obsessed with me, that aside, I have proof that your daughter Kate killed Aisling..” she revealed, but none of the elders looked shocked, they already knew what she was capable of.
“Me too I have proof that Kate killed Aisling..” Celeste chimed in, she has being able to gather proof for the past few days.
“And how does that amount to this?” Elias questioned,
“The issue of Aisling does not concern the issue of now, you should have brought that up the moment you lost your daughter..” he spat scornfully,
“What has happened has happened Elias, but I cannot allow make a mistake, what Logan did was out of self defense..” Celeste began,
“Apparently killing, Aisling was not enough for Kate, then she proceeded to try and kill Adia, not just Adia, the future heirs of Huntersville, she took one life and tried taking three lives again..”
“Logan just did what he did to save Adia, and trust me I would have done same, if I were in his shoes, your daughter tried killing a pregnant woman, not once but thrice, we a already know what Adia’s situation is at the moment, but your darling Kate wanted to add more problems as there already is..” she said, calling the name Kate with utter scarcam.
“The first time she kidnapped Adia, and tried killing her using all sorts of different methods, then she kidnapped her yet again, and poisoned her along with her unborn babies, so tell me my fellow elders, does that kind of person deserve to live?” Celeste asked,
“I’ve said all I can say, and I have solid proof with me, the only we can do is for us to vote, whatever the results are, we abide by it..” she concluded, taking her seat.
“And I say Logan lives, since he has never being a threat..”
“Me too, Logan lives..” Naomie supported as she turned to face her husband.
“What can I say..” Regis shurgged his shoulders.
“The evidence is here, I guess he does not deserve to die..”
“Me too” Delphine chimed in,
“What he did was just an act of bravery, if it was my sister in law that was being tortured that way, I wouldn’t hesitate to kill her, but yet again, something like this will not be condoned next time, innocent or not, before you act rashly, we the elders deserve to have a say..” Delphine stated,
“Logan lives..”
“He’s free………………….”
