SAVE ME

The following morning, Damien and Celine journeyed to the Witches’ realm.

As they passed through the thick forest, Celine winced in pain as she was still hurt all over.

“You are slowing us down, hurry up!”Damien growled.

Celine looked at Damien in disgust. She couldn’t control her anger. “Why are you doing all this? The spell has worn off now so you can leave Alexa and us alone now. why are you going through all this length?”

Damien pressed Celine’s cheeks”Because I’m not done playing”

He let go off her as Celine dropped to the ground wheezing .

He turned around to continue his journey when Celine spoke up.

“This might be a game to you but it isn’t to Alexa.”Celine balled her fist”I can’t continue watching you  take advantage of my friend. Can you imagine how hurt she’s going to be when she find out?”

Damien filled with rage turned to Celine with his eyes all red as Celine began to scream.

Damien was torturing her. His powers made her to feel like she was burning in a lake of fire.

“You seem to forget who I am”Damien growled as his anger intensified the pain Celine was feeling”No one talks back at me and no one questions me !”

“I’m… sorry. please stop”Celine whimper in tears.

Damien smirked”No. You don’t sound remorseful.”

“I’ll tell you what. I’ll leave you like this feeling this pain while I go to the Witches’ realm and sort out everything. When I get back, then you’ll be truly remorseful”Damien turned around and walked away from Celine as he scream filled the forest.

How dare she. Damien thought.

With the rage he was feeling, his aura was ten times doubled and so therefore Carla, the senior witch who was busy meditating could sense his presence.

Her eyes opened instantly as she stood up and ran to ring the big bell.

The big bell was only rang when danger was approaching so on hearing the sound of the bell, all witches stopped their activities.

“What could it be?”

“I don’t know . The bell hasn’t been rang in 4 years”

“I’m scared”

Silence filled the realm soon enough as they all waited for Carla’s announcement.

“The demon lord is coming!!”Carla cried out as the whole realm went up in utter frenzy and chaos.

Everyone started running for a safe place to hide.

Even while being locked up in a cellar and striped off her powers, Laura still had a special ability that made her able to hear from a far distance.

That’s why she was one of the most powerful Witches in the realm.

Upon hearing the announcement, she gasped as she stood up to her feet”The demon lord is coming? But why? Is he coming for me?” She questioned in fear.

She shook her head”No, that’s not possible. I haven’t even hurt a hair on Alexa’s hea-” Laura was cut short as she remembered her last words to Faren as fear suddenly gripped her “Did… Faren do something to her already?”

Laura screamed ontop of her lungs”Ms. Agatha, please give me back my powers please!!”

She couldn’t face the demon lord without her powers. She was going to die.

“Ms. Agatha, please-“Laura was cut short as the door to the cellar opened.

On seeing Ms. Agatha, she sighed in relief as she ran to her”Thank you for coming, please-”

Laura was cut short in shock as she saw Damien appear from behind Ms. Agatha.

“You seem to have a guest, Laura”Ms. Agatha as she turned to Damien”Then, I’ll be leaving you two now”

Ms. Agatha walked out and proceeded to lock the door as Laura called out after her”Please! Don’t close the door” she whimpered.

Damien smirked as he turned to Ms. Agatha”Close it”

Ms. Agatha nodded her head as she obeyed.

When they were left alone, Laura  backed away from him slowly”I didn’t do anything to her, I swear it”

“I know”

“So she’s still alive?”

“Yes”

Laura sighed in relief despite herself. For the first time, she was glad Alexa was safe.

But then if she’s alright…. why is he here?

“Then what do want with me?”

“I want you to make a love potion for me”

Laura’s eyes widened in shock”Why?”

“You don’t get to ask me questions”

Laura scoffed”Then I refuse”

Damien grabbed her by the neck as he choked her”You seem to forget how badly I want to kill you. You dared to use a love potion on me, I’m barely sparing your life”

Laura struggled on his grasp but to no avail.

“And also, I wasn’t ‘asking’ you to make some love potion for me, I was  ‘commanding’ you to so you don’t get to refuse”Damien dropped Laura to the ground as she coughed and gasped for air.

“So, what will it be?”

“I can’t even if I wanted to”

Damien smirked as his eyes turned red”You are more stubborn than I thought”

“Hold on!”Laura stopped him hurriedly”I don’t mean it that way. I mean, I don’t even have my powers anymore”

“That’s not a problem, I’ll get it back for you”

“And also, I’m going to need something back in return”

“And I did give you back something. Your life.”

“A favor. Please grant me a favor”

Damien chuckled”Are you seriously trying to strike a deal with me?”

“Please”

Damien nodded his head”Sure and what is that?”

“Another day. I’ll make use of it another day”

“Suite yourself. I need the potion ready by the evening” Damien turned around as he walked out to see Ms. Agatha.

Ms. Agatha sat in her chair with her legs crossed and arms folded.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

She adjusted her glasses on the bridge of her nose as she tried to think hard on why Damien had come to see Laura, of all people.

Her thoughts were caught short as Damien strode into her chamber.

“I’ll have you know that even if your father and I have a strong bond, you should still knock before entering”Ms. Agatha said sternly.

Damien smiled”Sorry”

Valdir, his father and Ms. Agatha were best of friends so Damien grew up seeing Ms. Agatha as his aunty and he had great respect for her as well.

“Anyways, I believe you need something”

Damien walked towards Ms. Agatha and held her hand”Aunt… please help me”

Ms. Agatha’s eyes widened. This was the first time he’d called her “Aunt”.

She’d tried so hard for 15 years to get him to say it, but he always found a way to avoid her and now.

Ms. Agatha wasn’t capable of giving birth so she’d always seen Damien as her son and therefore she’d tried so hard to get him to call her “aunt” to show that he’d also accepted her as an important figure in his life.

And now, he was saying it willingly.

Tears started to form in her eyes but she hurriedly blinked them back”What’s the matter?”

“I need that witch you imprisoned”

“What for?”

“Just for something important. For today, just for today, can you give her back her powers?”

Ms. Agatha pushed backed her glasses”Fine, I’ll do as you say”

Damien smiled as he hugged Ms. Agatha”Thank you, aunt”

Ms. Agatha smiled as she wrapped her hands around him.

He refrained from her and pecked her cheeks”I’ll be going now”

“Take care”

“You too”

Damien stepped out of the realm smiling, everything was going to be back to it’s place.

His eyes widened as he suddenly remembered Celine who was still burning in a fire of pain.

“Oh shit!”he muttered as he ran into the forest.

Meanwhile wanting to calm Warren’s troubling soul, Eren and Mikasa headed to the Angel’s realm to check up on Josty.

When they got into tbe realm, they looked around completely lost.

Eren turned to face Mikasa”It’s been long since we’ve been here, haven’t we?”

“It sure has”

They walked around each rooms seeing if they could locate the girls’ room.

In the girls’ room, Josty continued questioning Karina of her memory of her and Warren which was appearing like flashes to her. “Are you sure nothing happened between us?”

Karina who couldn’t lie anymore suddenly stood up “I’m going to get a glass of water”

As Karina stormed out of their room, Eren spotted her.

“Hey, let’s go over there”he said as Mikasa followed him .

When they entered the room, they sighed in relief as they saw Josty.

Eren walked up to her “Are you okay? Warren asked us to check up on you”

Confusion washed over Josty”Warren? Why?”

“I don’t know”

Josty looked from Eren to Mikasa”Did something happen between Warren and I?”

Eren and Mikasa exchanged glances.”Something like?”

Josty shook her head”I don’t know. I’ve been having these weird flashes of us being together”

Both Eren and Mikasa burst out in laughter.”I doubt that”

Eren, who suddenly caught his breath interjected”Exactly. You and Warren in the same place? Someone’s definitely going to die”

Mikasa hit Eren”Hey”

“What? You know it’s true. They both hate eachother”he turned to face Josty”Anyways, we’ll be leaving now. Take care of yourself”

“You too”

Eren looked around”But where’s Alexa?”

Josty shrugged”I don’t know. I haven’t seen her since this morning”

“Okay, we’ll be leaving now. Bye”

When they got back to their realm they informed Warren about their visit to Josty.

“She behaved like that?” Warren asked.

Eren nodded his head”Yes”

That means the potion must have worn off her and that means… Warren thought.

He turned to his guys”I’m going to need your help to cover for me”

“What!?? Where are you going while on a leash?”Mikasa asked shocked.

“Me?”Warren said . I’m going to claim back what’s mine. He thought as he jumped out through the window.
