Chapter 64 - Catch That Monster!

last update Last Updated: 2024-04-14 00:07:54

Aniya woke up in her bed.

Her heart raced with fear the moment she remembered what had happened yesterday, she had lost control to "it".

She jumped to her feet, as her body trembled, and found a mirror searching for any sign of the blood of another.

She found none and that made her scared even more.

In fact, she realized that the dress she was wearing was different from the one she was in when her Sister Bell had paid her a visit.

Now, that was a cause for more panic.

She did notice that she had a cut around the base of her neck though, down to her chest.

That seemed to not be healing and it hurt terribly, but that wasn't what she was worried about right now.

She needed to find out if she had attacked her sister last night; needed to know if she was still alive.

Quickly, she grabbed a black scarf and tied it around her neck then she put on her veil, before rushing to the Village Head's house. She decided to take "everyone's road" because it would lead her to Lytio's house faste

    Boots pounded above while below, Aniya's heart was pounding in her chest. The search had been quick but to Aniya it felt like it had gone on forever. It felt like she could hear every movement they made, everything they disassembled to conduct the search, every single thing they took out of place. Her mind replayed all the times she had returned home with blood on her dress and how she had neatly disposed of them as if she had known this moment would come. However, for the times she had just woken up and met herself in clean clothes, she was scared. Had she neatly disposed of the evidence of those times too or had the thing that usually possessed her carried out a messy clean? For this, Aniya was afraid. "The monster has been here?" Zesika said once again, looking around absolutely worried. "You need to leave this house once they are over. Come and stay in the guest quarters in my house. You cannot stay here. What if the monster comes back?"Aniya appreciated Zesika's worry and

    The Seven Skies of Effidel and the Rainbow River below. Belladonna remembered this place, it had been one of the places Alaris had taken her to when she started dreaming of him. She swayed slightly when her feet touched the top of the mountain he placed her upon, the sound of the gushing river below filled her ears and she looked up at the moon that glowed immaculately in the skies. “This is outside the walls.” She said, as she turned to look at him. His black, leathery wings were tucked behind him, yet she could still catch a glimpse of their towering presence over his shoulders. His slightly glowing hair cast a sort of light on it. “What are we doing here?” Her hands went through the short curls of her hair, as the wind swayed her dress and made it flap around her legs.The scenery would be more beautiful if the sun was up but what she cared about right now wasn't the sun, it was the food she was missing. She was too hungry and angry at Alaris to be anywhere he was. He annoyed

    In Belladonna's mind, she could see Eli painting with a smile on his face. Then in the next second, she could hear him reading to her, then that memory faded away and the memory that took over was of Alaris saving her as he had done in the Village of Nakunriver. Then an image of a room formed in her mind. The open doors slammed shut and the windows did the same, and the voices faded away. Her eyes snapped open and she coughed out water. She could feel the water on her body, sweeping over her then retreating. Alaris was looking down at her with a ball of flames in his hand, his chest rising and falling and his facial features filled with worry. Suddenly, she remembered everything. Once again, she was angry but this time, it was different.She stood up, putting distance between them, as she took a couple of steps along the beach before she held her knees and screamed. Alaris didn't go after her, instead, he stood up and allowed his eyes to do the following.“You!” She turned to him,

    “I am sorry too. I brought this upon you.”He laughed, watching the torch he had lit with his flames, burning lowly, where it was hung on the cave wall. “It seemed I deserved it.”They didn't say anything again, until she was done cleaning and was applying some ointment on the cut. “My Mother used to do this.” He sighed with relief, closing his eyes briefly.“The one of this Realm.”“Yes.” He paused. “She was a Channeler.”“What is a Channeler?”“One that can create portals.”“I thought you said she was of this Realm.”“She wasn't of this Realm exactly.”“Oh.” Her hands stilled for a moment, then she started wrapping the pieces of cloth where she could. “She was from my Realm, she worked for my mother and had escaped during the attack on my parents. She would always create portals and be away to do… some things. One day, she left her portal open and one of the assassins that my parents’ enemies had sent to kill me, slipped in through the portal. She fought, so hard and he struck her

    Aniya had been thrown into the dungeon, chained down, and locked away. When Belladonna heard, she raced down here immediately. “What do you mean my sister is the monster?” She had asked Eli while hurrying away to the dungeon to see for herself what he claimed her sister was. When she got to the dungeon however, Aniya was with the veil she usually had over her face, with chains around her ankles and her wrists, while sat down on the floor. “Open the gate!” She commanded and the guards opened the gate to let her in. Lytio was here too. As the Village Head, there was nothing that went on in his Village that he shouldn't know about. Eli had followed Belladonna here to ensure her safety. He still didn't trust his Donna's sister and he didn't think he ever would.“I mean no harm!” Aniya stood up when she saw Belladonna step into her prison from the nettings of her veil. “Please, I didn't mean to hurt anybody. I have changed.” But Belladonna only grabbed her veil to search for the cut

    Her heart raced. She was overly aware of his touch, even though his gloves served as a constant obstacle. “Maybe because most of the brides left behind in my head are those ones that want you dead.” Something dark glinted in his eyes. “Do you want me dead, Donna?” The heavyweight she used to feel in her chest was still there, although it no longer felt as heavy as it used to. Her rage towards him was no longer as blinded as it used to be. Somewhere along the lines, something has changed.“No.” There was a spark in his eyes. “I don't want you dead, Eli.”His voice sank into a low chuckle. He leaned forward and his sandalwood scent flooded her senses. He was too close and his presence reminded her of how “even closer” he used to be. Her eyelids fluttered and his scales held her gaze.“Happy birthday. I really thought we would spend the day differently. You have no idea how many plans I have made for this in the past.”“It is past midnight. My birthday is over.” She said with a

    The men walked through the forest, moving quietly.Until they got to a point where they stopped.Witcher Galdur, the one wearing the white robes, held up his hand and they all stopped. “We still have to capture the last one,” he said to the men behind him. They were all wearing robes but of a darker shade and color. “You,” he pointed at the one carrying Aniya.“But Witcher, if we are separated from you, the guards patrolling will see us.” He responded with concern. “He will go with you,” Witcher Galdur pointed to another. “That way, you will remain unseen.”So the group split into two, the spell of invisibility over them. As they raced against time before it would expire. One took the left turn and the other took the right, agreeing to meet at a particular spot in some minutes. Therefore, Belladonna and Aniya were taken to two different places. ______Witcher Galdur went along with three men, one of whom was carrying the Bride.

    Chapter 72 - In His PlaceGaldur and his group had only walked some distance further when they encountered the King on the road. No one survived a dragon’s flames. Galdur knew this and he had surrendered, taking it upon himself to give the Bride personally to the King. That was when their gaze had met and the King's steps had flattered when he looked beyond them into the trees, his eyes reflecting the fear that consumed. Galdur wished that he could see what the fear was.It would be an absolute honor to know what built fear in the heart of the dragon. But one couldn't have it all.It was harder to break into the King’s mind though, however, Galdur had too much experience and witchcraft by his side to make it work. He turned and they left. If he was lucky, their Fears would kill them and they would have one or two less supernatural creatures to deal with. The Balance would be regained and his vision would never come to pass.______Eli bathed in his own blood.The talons of the

    A pregnant woman's unwanted friends were swollen feet. Eli would usually help her massage them just as he was doing now. She was reading a book to him and he listened with rapt attention. His paintings adored the room, a piano at one corner, her sewing equipment at another corner with two studies joined to the room.He chuckled at something she read and she rolled her eyes. She had become quite irritable lately, little things would get on her nerves. It was just an interesting change to watch, especially because food was usually the cure, all kinds of food in their weirdest combinations. He had tried one once, it was terrible. She snapped the book shut. “By Ignas, do go on. I take back my laughter.”She seemed to have something else on her mind though. “Do you think I’m fat?”He smiled, “Like I always say, you are not fat, you are just pregnant.”“So you would want me like this?”He chuckled, the sound throaty as he buried his face into the crook of her neck. He moved quickly, she c

    Eli and Belladonna had come a long way. After death pays a visit, who would expect a joining ceremony?The trail was only hours ago and everything still felt shocking to Belladonna. She was the Kore and Eli was the right-hand man to the UnderLord. She was no longer a ghost but a High Realm that could move from one realm to another, and grant to only those who deserved it a second chance at life. She was a Kore with no realm of her own but one she must build from scratch. The Fate had dissolved the Kore’s realm after they based their judgment on the previous one. Luna and Ama had promised to help her in all ways they could and Belladonna was grateful for the offer. She was more excited about her ability to move from one realm to another though. She couldn’t wait to see her sister, Arlo, and Alaris even though they might not be able to see her. As Eli had told her, the UnderLord didn’t have a right-hand man for a very long time. Many Thanatos had been trying to acquire the position.

    “She passed two tests!” Ama sprung up from her seat., “There must be something—““You are not one of this council,” the Ghost High Being turned to her sharply, “so keep your voice out of the decisions.” Belladonna's eyes widened. Two tests! So Eli—- Ah by Ignas, she had been right. Where was Eli? Why hadn’t they let him come in yet?Ama smirked, “Still holding a grudge, Phosi? I see.”“Passed the two tests? It is obvious that she has failed. The rules are the rules,” The Sea High Being spoke, “she has failed. Pass the judgment, I have places to be.”Failed? Belladonna felt that painful jolt in her heart. What were they even talking about?!The hall seemed to share the same confusion as Belladonna, they whispered amongst one another. “Failed?!” Luna snapped. “How did she fail? It is not her fault that her soul didn’t align——““The rules are the rules! And you are not a part of this Council, stay out of it!” The High Being of the Sea snapped. “End this already,” he said to the Fates,

    The days that followed were fast and the training was tedious, Luna helped as much as she could, probably more than any mentor ever would. Life in the Moonrealm was wonderful, but for the things that shattered her peace. After training in the Moonrealm for two moons, Luna had not-so-pleasant news for her. Eli was to undergo a test too, a single test.“He has to fight the UnderLord and defeat him.”“Who will train him?”“The UnderLord.”There was no way the UnderLord would train Eli enough to be able to defeat him. “He chose him to be his master.”Belladonna paused. Eli was definitely plotting something.“Also, the failure of one is the failure of both of you.”Belladonna blinked, the times and the trails were against them but Eli was no fool. He definitely had something planned. ——-——-[TRIAL DAY]The first thing Belladonna saw when she stepped into the hall was a woman on her knees screaming in agony, while three faceless people with the staff in their hands stood around her, the

    Preparation“It is believed that holding the title of the Kore is a curse and there is a reason for that. Everyone that becomes the Kore always has a terrible end.” Luna paused as if considering her next words before she finally spoke. “Reincarnation should be beautiful, not filled with so many problems. Reincarnation and second chances, do you not think so, Belladonna?”Belladonna nodded, wanting to know about the Kore already, but instead of continuing with what she had to say, Luna drew a line in thin air, and a floating lightly illuminated map unraveled between them. There were different floating objects on the map, probably to signify places. “For your third test, you must be chosen as an apprenticeship for one of the Realm Lords.”“Chosen?”“It is quite tricky as it is your soul that chooses for you and if the Realm Lord of the one your soul along with thinks you are fit, then you will have passed the third test.”“I don’t understand. Something seems to be missing. What about t

    “What?!” Belladonna yelled, grabbing Ama’s wrists tightly with rage. “How could not tell me?!”“How dare you disrespect me?!” Ama snapped her hands away from Belladonna’s grip, fury blazing in her eyes as she started getting bigger, losing the frame she had fitted herself into. Belladonna stayed firm, her anger refusing her to feel fear. How dare they drag Aniya into this? How dare they? If she had known, she wouldn't— By Ignas, she wouldn't have done this!To ruin another’s life for the sake of her happiness? Never!No.Then Ama stopped, looked at the castle, and was back to normal in a flash as if a thought had flashed into her mind to make her reconsider. “I will spare you the wrath of my mate only this once. You will not disrespect me again,” She said firmly but those were words Belladonna couldn't hear.They sounded like echoes in the background. Anger changed into fear, not for her but for Aniya.She fell to her knees and wept. “You must reverse it. Please, I am begging. Ask f

    “Eli.” Tears were streaming down her face now.Finally, they could touch but this moment wouldn’t last forever, and they intended to exploit it for as long as they could.“Do you love me, Donna?” His hand cupped the side of her face.“You know I love you.” She slipped her fingers through his hair which had grown longer than she remembered. She had certainly not seen all of the real him when he possessed Jyris’ body. Now, he looked so different. “By Ignas, I do. I love you, Eli.”“And I love you too. No amount of this torture, nor of passage of time will take that away. I grant you the permission to forget me. You need not feel any guilt, it will be the best way of loving me.”Belladonna wiped her tears away. “It is ironic, you begged me to choose you in Gaya’s garden and I did not, and now that I want to choose you, you are begging not to.” The words spilled quickly out of mouth, as they tried to make the best use of their borrowed time.A glimmer of a smile snaked into his eyes. “It

    The journey to Eli’s dungeon felt like a repeat of past events, it was like a flash of what had happened after the Red Moon Ritual, a reminder of the time Alaris had led her to his dungeon. She had followed Alaris with worry and love for him in her heart, then she found him in chains and finally, she left his presence betrayed, sad, and a grounded hatred for him.It felt sickening to be in this type of situation again though under different circumstances. She wished it was over, she wished she had seen him and saved him. She heard his voice before she saw him. A shout filled with agony. Her heart clenched with pain as she prepared herself to see the worst. Ama stopped walking and Belladonna who was following her did the same. Why had they stopped? She couldn’t see Eli anywhere, in fact, she could barely see her surroundings; she could still hear his voice though, and that in itself was too painful to bear. What type of torture were they putting him through? Suddenly, the growls of

    The next thing Belladonna knew, her blindfold was ripped away from her and she was tossed roughly to the floor, her hands and knees bearing the brunt of the action. She expected pain but that never came. Oh, of course.The room was lit with red dim lights, however for Belladonna who had stayed in the dark for too long, the light felt blinding. The structure of the hall seemed like a throne room but it was of such an intricate design that she had no time to access it, the only thing that caught her eye was the strange, massive, dangling bed-like structure with curtains, connected with a chain to the roof of the hall; she could only assume that, it was too dark to see into the distance above. She rose to her feet and froze when she heard growls and gnashing behind her and she turned to look back, frightened. This beast, she had seen it before. Four-legged with three heads of mighty wild dogs, rough rocky skin with visible maps of the lava contained within. Vicious and ready to kill.
