Chapter 31: Link

Sebastian’s pov

I heard as she was leaving and as I was about to stand up Logan came in front of me.

“She is going to look for something and it sounded important” he said, and I looked at him confused.

Why is he telling me this? He does know that I am his competition right?

I mean the fact that he went as far as getting a job near her suggests that just like me he won’t stop at anything.

“I am waiting for the part where it concerns me” I said, and he smiled a little.

“Its your building and I can’t just come and go. So, I am telling you in hopes that you will allow me to get in” he said, and I looked at him.

She found what she has been looking for all this time?

I have heard that a few witches have been looking for something there for centuries as well.

You see witches can sense magic, so they sensed some magic coming from the building.

Ever since then even if they found the source none of them could get it no matter how hard they tried.

But if Scarlet is the one that hid whatever they have been looking for it makes sense.

Just like her mother she was so powerful that the spells she created made her invisible.

If Scarlet hid it then it means that only she will be able to find it.

I smiled a little at this, I get to see the love of my life in action again.

How I missed that, seeing her solving and trying to figure out spells.

I looked at the Alpha Prince and he seems to also want to help.

Plus, he told me this and I am a fair person, the information in exchange of entrance to our parking lot.

“No problem let’s get there before she does” I said to him.

Using both our respective supernatural speed we got there before she did.

When she got there and found us standing there waiting for her she just looked at us.

Looking at her made me even a 100% sure that she is my Scarlet.

The way her nose turned red from anger and how she would bite her lip trying to control herself.

“You took your time, didn’t you? Come on, we need to find the answers, don’t we?” Logan asked her.

 I expected a very angry answer, but she looked at both of us and I saw the glint in her eyes.

The look of defiance in her eyes that told everything I needed to know in that moment.

“I didn’t know you were waiting for me; I am sorry about that” she said.

Logan also seemed confused, that one encounter with her told us all we needed to know about her.

Hell, this is the girl who has been on the run for 8 years of her life.

There is no way that she is fine with all of this, with us being here.

I am fully aware, and I Logan also knows how her presence affects her.

With two of the most influential people surrounding her it will bring some attention towards her.

Unwanted attention and yet she doesn’t seem to have a problem with it? it just doesn’t make sense.

“You are okay with this?” I asked her and she just shrugged.

“No, but I have been on the run for 8 years. You think I have the energy to fight you? I would reserve it for the people that want to kill me. Not people that want to win my heart” she replied.

“So, you know why we are here?” Logan asked her and she rolled her eyes.

“I am not stupid; now can we stop the chitchat and actually get the answers we want?” she asked, and we nodded.

She looked around chanted a spell and just like that the ground below us opened up.

There were stairs there and we went down the stairs and found ourselves in what seemed like a hidden cave or something.

Whoever built this place really did their best to make sure this place remains unharmed.

And this is a really old building and has had a lot of owners ever since it was built.

And I am sure that the original owner is dead which is too bad because they would have been able to tell us what happened.

How is it that they did all they could to protect this place.

As we walked further and looked around it seemed like it could go on forever.

Like this cave had no end or even beginning which is weird because it honestly didn’t make sense at all.

“Are we going around in circles?” Logan asked after some time and Charlotte looked at both of us with a smile.

“This is actually amazing; I wonder who created this place” she said.

Now looking at those green eyes I saw a light in them.

I missed that light, the look In her eyes when she sees something new.

The look in her eyes when she realizes that it wont be as easy as she thought.

She has always loved being challenged and taking on new things.

“This is because we are going around in circles. They call places like this the merry go round, you will keep going in circle until you stop the machine” she said and then looked around.

“This means there is an off switch to this?” Logan asked and she nodded.

“There is an off switch to everything in this world” she said and then looked at me.

“The off switch to living beings is death, the switch to fire is usually water or sand depending on the source” I said.

She looked at me confused, “how did you know that? You said it the exact way I was going to say it" she said.

“Because you once said it to me, it’s the first thing you said when we first met. It was meant to be a threat actually” I said with a smile.

But back then she didn’t use the word off switch, she called it a dead end to everything.

Only a few words changed but I knew that she was going to say this.

I felt my heart warm up at this, she is still somewhere in there I know it.

I just keep looking for a way to get her memories back, but her mother didn’t make it easy.

Hell, witches really are very cunning beings if you look at it from my point of view.

For centuries I have been searching for spells to help her get her memories back.

But every single one of them has some kind of complication which could prove to be deadly.

Her mother obviously wouldn’t just use any spell on her which means that one mistake could ruin everything.

“I once did, huh I see and yet you are saying we were lovers? Sounds like I wanted you dead” she said, and I shrugged.

“Love stories have all sorts of plot twists” I said, and she shrugged.

“so how do we switch off the switch?” Logan asked and she looked around.

“By creating our own switch” she said and then took out her phone from her pocket.

She then switched on the torch although there was absolutely no need for it.

This entire underground place had lights that seemed to have been on for decades.

She put her phone on the ground and started chanting and when she was done she smiled.

“What did you do?” I asked her.

I have never seen a witch using their phone for magic.

How innovative, “I linked this place to my phone, now they are one in the same and have the same energy” she said.

We just looked at her confused at what she is saying.

I do know that witches can link people to one another.

They do it all the time when they want their loved ones to be reincarnated and that they find each other in the next life.

Its like an invisible thread pulls them together when they are reincarnated or reborn.

“You know how they say energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can it transferred from one object to another” she said, and I nodded.

“So, you transferred some of the magic from around this place into your phone.. since magic is basically energy” I said, and she nodded.

“And because of this, we have the off switch” she said with a smile and the switched off her torch.

The place around changed and I couldn’t stop looking at her.

Scarlet has always been a genius, look at how easy she solved that?

Thousands of witches have been trying to find this place, but she succeeded in less than an hour.

I froze when I saw what was in front of me.

It was a symbol of the link, right there was a symbol of the link that people make so when they are reincarnated they can be reunited again.

Only the person who created this link can be led here,

I looked at Charlotte who was just as frozen as I was.

She is linked to someone when she was reincarnated somewhere she loved someone else.

This means that, I know what it means but it cant be, it cant be right??
