Chapter 19
“You can have the boy while I take care of the girl,” Greeta said to Eric
“We have to wait till nightfall,” Eric said
“Okay, you wish is my command as long as you live the girl to me,” Greeta said
“You need not worry, she’s all yourself and others,” Eric said
Greeta smiled devilishly knowing that she has gotten what she wanted. Eric on the other hand was clueless about what was going on in her mind.
***
It was nightfall already and Eric was ready to attack. Getting to the gate, Greeta noticed something different about the whole place. Eric’s men tried to move in…
“No, don’t ” Greeta shouted but it was already too late. The current from the containment spell already threw them back.
“Don’t your men understand how to take instructions before they act?” She asked
“Now look at the mess they’ve caused” she added
Eric frowned looking at them on the ground before turning to Greeta.
“Just wait after this battle is over, I will teach this witch a lesson for talking to me anyhow she likes,” Eric thought to himself
“She’s a smart little with, h”, Greeta said
“What’s happening?” Eric asked
“It’s a containment spell, but I can bring it down,” Greeta said
“Okay. Be fast about that” Eric said
“Sure, I will” she replied as she began to chant a spell that would bring down the containment spell.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
~Rhea’s POV~
Rhea!!! Rhea!!! Rhea!!!
I heard Lucy shout running into Father’s room as someone who is being pursued by a ghost.
“What’s going on?” Jaden and I asked worriedly
Finally, she got to us and was panting seriously. We tried to calm her down but she didn’t let us…
“We are surrounded,” she said
“What do you mean by we are surrounded?” Willow asked as he went outside to check what was going on.
Jaden and I looked confused about the whole situation.
Willow rushed back into the room.
“It’s Eric. He’s here and he has brought a witch with her” Willow said
“It’s her again. I can feel her powers” Lucy said
“How much time do we have ?” Jaden asked me as the ground shook like an earthquake
“Not much time I guess,” I said
“I thought we have like three days or more?” He asked
“She’s a black witch and she’s more powerful than Rhea,” Lucy said
“Oh no, mother if you are going to come, now will be the right time to come,” I thought to myself.
“Jaden and I will lead the other wolves while you two stay here and figure some things out,” Willow said as he exited the room with Jaden hurriedly.
“What are we going to do now?” I kept on asking myself
Lucy held their father’s hand and cried out to him.
“Father, you have to wake up now. We need you. Your children need you” she said as father began to move on his bed and tears dropped from his eyes.
“He wants to wake up but he’s trapped,” I said to Lucy.
“I wonder if she’s watching what’s happening right now?” Lucy said
They began to shake again which got us scared. We held our Father’s hands tightly not wanting to go anytime soon. Soon after, the earthquake was over. Everywhere seemed to be still.
“Oh no, they are in,” I said to Lucy looking at her
“We can’t just stay here. Let’s help them out” Lucy said to me.
For a minute I wondered if it was still the same person that was scared a while ago and that just said we should go fight.
I nodded in response as we both went outside. Getting outside, Father’s men were ready to attack same as those on the other side.
“What are you two doing here?” Jaden asked
“You need our help. Besides, only a witch can fight a witch” I said to him
“They are right, we need all the help we can get,” Willow said to Jaden.
~Greeta’s POV~
Trying to bring down the containment spell, Greeta opened her eyes and found Derrick’s men and son already gathered waiting to attack. She let out a devilish smile. Finally, the spell was down and Eric came forward.
“If you don’t want to die, hand over the boy and the girl,” Eric said pointing at Rhea who just came outside with Lucy.
But he didn’t get any response. Then he went back and told his meant to get ready to fight. Turning to Greeta…
“The girl is all yours,” he said to her
“The pleasure is all mine”She replied
~Rhea’s POV~
“If only this was a dream, I would love to wake up from it. I just met my family and now I’m gonna fight a fight I know nothing about” I thought to myself
“Rhea look, I think you’ve got an admirer,” Lucy said to me
“Yeah, I noticed. She wants me but I don’t know why. All I know is that I’m not gonna let her have her way” I said
Eric’s men began to attack. Willow, Jaden, and the others fought back but they were too many. Lucy and I ran into the house and the witch followed. She caught up to us and threw some spells at us, I was able to wage them. Lucy and I separated and ran in the opposite direction. I thought she would follow me to keep Lucy safe. But instead, she went after Lucy.
Everywhere became quiet. I couldn’t hear the noise of people fighting. I wondered what was going on. Suddenly I heard someone shouting.
“Come out now or else she dies”
I peeped through the window and was shocked by what I found. Most of Dad’s men were dead and the remaining ones were on their knees. Willow was badly injured on the ground while Eric grabbed Jaden by his neck.
“I will count that to ten and if you are not out, we will kill them both,” the witch said as she began to count down. I quickly rushed down to save my siblings.
“Stop” I shouted
“I’m here. Let them go” I said to her as she let go of Lucy.
Suddenly, I couldn’t control my body again. I don’t know what she’s doing to me.
“Don’t worry, I will make sure you enjoy the pain your grandmother gave to my mother her daughter, little Nice” the witch said
“Nice???”
“What does she mean by that?” I thought to myself as the pain got worst.
~Derrick’s POV~
Trapped in between Life and death, I could hear my children call out to me. I tried to reach out to them but couldn’t find a way out. Everywhere was dark. I kept wandering to see if I could get a glimpse of light or maybe a way to live in this pool of darkness. Suddenly, I saw a light from afar, I ran towards it. I opened my eyes and found Karen next to me.
“You’ve got to wake up now, our children need us,” she said to me and I quickly remembered that something was wrong.
We quickly rushed outside.
“Enough!!!” Karen shouted as she broke the spell the witch used on Rhea.
