Alveric Valentine (P.O.V.)
We finally got to the morgue, and I immediately made my way inside with the witch in my arms. She was still asleep, and I think also too drunk to comprehend anything. I could only hope that when she wakes up she does not throw a fit and remembers the events that occurred at the underground black market club. Walking into this building with unconscious bodies in my arms is becoming way too common for my liking.
I could have taken her to my house, but I did not want anyone to know me on that personal level. My home is my sanctuary. It is the place I turn to in order to forget the world and the chaos that I am trying to prevent. I would hate to go home one day, just to relax and release the tension the day had given me, only to have the stress from my usual day, follow me home as well.
I laid the witch onto one of the metal tables beside the other two bodies and I made my way into the kitchen to set up some food and
Alveric Valentine (P.O.V.)“Yes, it is,” I answered and she swiftly turned around to face me with a grin on her face.I could only assume that that is the face of someone who is about to ask for something.“Let us make a deal.” She said to which did not surprise me at all.I looked at her in suspicion and crossed my arms.“What do you want?”“I want the guardians…in return, I help you bring them back to life. I am sure you know this by now, but they are in limbo. Limbo is not just a place that is between life and death. It is not just a place for souls to go to rest until judgment day or whatever you believe in. Limbo is a place souls go to and get lost for eternity. Eventually, upon being lost, they lose a sense of self and forget who they
Isla Kalashnikov (P.O.V.)Alessandro and I were at his place now. As soon as we got here, I rushed out of the car and into the house. I really needed to pee, but I did not want to tell him that after we left my house. It was the equivalent of being afraid of being yelled at by your dad on the way to school while you are late because you forgot your backpack at home. Yes, I know I am a grown woman, but I just could not help it because we were already halfway home when I felt the strong urge to use the restroom.When I got done doing my business, I figured I would shower one time because I was still rather filthy from cleaning all day. My skin felt sticky, and my clothes were dusty. Hey, that rhymed!I chuckled at my own stupidity as I made my way to the bathroom. I took off my clothes and turned on the shower. I knew the water would take a while to get hot, so I undid the bun in my hair and massaged my scalp for a short while. It felt so good. I
Alveric Valentine (P.O.V.)I swear this b-witch was driving me insane. It is like she never shuts up. Since we made the deal to exchange the guardians’ freedom for their recovery, she has not stopped yapping about useless things. You would think that eventually, she would run out of things to talk about but no. She spoke about shoelaces for thirty minutes. I could not even recall what she was saying about shoelaces even if you tortured me. I had zoned out so many times during her one-sided conversation that I remembered the list of things I needed from the grocery.We could not go along with the ritual until my friend arrives. I did not trust this girl enough to not steal my soul, kill me and then run away with the guardians. I may be dumb, but I am not stupid. There is a huge difference there, trust me.“Ugh! When is your friend going to get here? I have places to be, people to see and alcohol to ingest.” The witch whined as s
Ambrosius Selinofoto (P.O.V.)As I entered the morgue, I could see my friend about to pass out. Using my ability to flash to places with incredible speed, I rushed to his side and held his body before I gently laid it onto the floor. I looked at the little lady that stood beside him muttering incoherent words and I narrowed my eyes at her.“What did you do to him?” I asked her sternly.I checked his neck for a pulse but could not find one.“I killed him.” She said simply.It was then that I attacked her.The little witch immediately fled from the room as I charged toward her to avenge my friend. I just thought it was funny how she could kill a man in cold blood and simply confess that she did it without any remorse. For a tiny witch, she sure had some b
Alveric Valentine (P.O.V.)My body felt heavy as if I was extremely tired and just needed to sleep. My eyes were closed, I could tell but I was not tired but at the same time, I was not full of life. I felt like I did not have the energy to move an inch but considering I did not know where I was, I figured I had to eventually. I opened my eyes slowly against the force that wanted to keep them closed and I looked around.I found myself in the middle of a forest. I could not see much because it was really dark. However, I could make out the tall trees that surrounded my body. There was definitely a force holding my body down because I felt like I could not move as I please. My body really did feel heavier to move on my own. Nonetheless, I gathered what little strength I had and tried to take a step forward.Where am I?As I took a step forward, I heard chains drag on the floor and it was then I looked down to see my feet in shackles.
Ambrosius Selinofoto (P.O.V.)I watched the witch at work. She was still preparing her ingredients for the ritual while Alveric’s body laid limp on the floor.“Considering you were definitely not ready to perform the ritual, why did you go ahead and kill his way before you even got ready?” I asked her while I munched on some chips I found somewhere.I got hungry like an hour ago but could not leave for my lunch because I had to stay and monitor the witch to make sure she did not do any funny business. At this point, she was beginning to smell really enticing. I felt so hungry I could gnaw on my own arm.“I really just wanted to kill him and got so excited about the thought that I became impatient, but I do appreciate his silence. He looks way more attractive when there is not anything coming out of his mouth.” She explained and I rolled my eyes.“That reminds me of something I brought for you.&rd
Alveric Valentino (P.O.V.)As I stood in the midst of the darkness, I began to feel dizzy, my heart ached, and I felt as though I was spinning. I could not tell if my world was actually spinning because it was just so dark, but before I knew it, I fell to the ground.What is going on? I felt like I had no recollection of anything. Who am I? Where am I? What is this?Just then I felt I sharp pain in my chest and an aching sensation in my head. I held my head as I screamed out loud. My eyes were squeezed shut and I silently prayed for the pain to stop.It lasted for about a minute before the pain stopped and my mind felt safe and sound again. Just then my thoughts were flooded with voices and faces.I remember now. I know where I am and what I sent here to do.The shackles from around my ankles disappeared and I was now free to move my body however I wanted. I began to walk aimlessly into the darkness. I tried to walk in a str
Ambrosius Selinofoto (P.O.V.)The witch – or Edith as she referred to herself during the ritual, finished the ritual and we were now awaiting the results. It was like the effects of her powers were loading or something because right after she finished doing all of that hoodoo voodoo stuff, she took a step back and looked at the bodies expectantly.“So, what now?” I asked her while she just stood in one spot looking as though, she was really deep in thought.“Shush! You will break my chain of thought. Just wait for it be patient.”“Wait for wha-I was cut off by the two bodies on the metal table shaking violently. Their limbs were vigorously knocking against the metal table while they shook which caused a really loud noise throughout the room. Even I cringed at the loud, echoing sounds traveling through the room at the moment. “That is, it…. yes baby!!! And she strikes a
