BXBX NOVEL Chapter 71 - Who Gave You The Order ?
RIVERGREEN VALLEY,
Lucky Anna discovered a young deer running inside the woods as soon as she reached at the nearby animal forest. Even though she killed a normal deer, her mind was feeling extreme guilt for hunting an innocent animal. As a fairy of protecting nature, it was in her instinct that they wouldn't like to cause any harm towards wild animal.
When the bleeding deer finally stopped moving, she scooped it up in her arms before heading for the cave. Under the dim light of candles, she saw Ayra groaning in a low voice sitting on the bed awkwardly.
Anna felt a bit tensed up about Ayra but as soon as the misty scent of blood reached in Ayra's nostrils, she quickly jumped off from the floor bed. Without waiting for Aanna's words, she snatched the dead animal body from her arms hastily.
Ayra threw the body on the bed not caring about the dripping blood that was flowing dowm from it's collarbone. She arched it's head beastly before digging her tiny teeth into it as if she had found her muse of life. Her tiny lips started dripping blood as she sucked the animal's body out of wits.
On the Contrary, Anna remained frozen standing in front of her and watched her drinking blood for the first time. Her face scrunched up in disgust and she solemnly prayed that her little baby would return to her earlier innocent state soon.
REDRUTH VALLEY,
Athena asked anxiously while sitting over Siemus's giant Eagle form,
" Siemus, how far we need to go?"
Siemus gave a loud snarling indicating that they had arrived at the discerned place. Athena's body had returned to it's earlier strength after drinking blood. Lucky Siemus quickly found a human woman in their world who was willing to give her blood. Thus it didn't take long time to return her state.
As the Eagle finally landed down on Redruth Valley, Athena's eyes spotted Ethan's miserable state. She wanted to rush over there but Siemus quickly held her from behind.
Siemus explained the situation with warning,
" My Lady, you can't be seen by them. You know if they find out that you are acquainted with Ethan, you will have to bear severe punishment."
Athena denied stubbornly,
" I don't care Siemus. I have to save him before they kill him. Don't hold me back, please. "
Siemus insisted still considering her safety first,
" No, my lady. Don't take reckless decision that might lead you two to destroyed. Let me handle them. You stay here and watch me."
Athena quickly recalled Siemus's power which she witnessed once when she needed to escape from the castle. Thus she quickly ordered Siemus,
" Blind them, Siemus. Bilnd them all and then beat them. Meanwhile I will take care of Ethan. He is bleeding. Don't think anymore do it."
Siemus nodded with understanding before casting her darkened eyes over those thirsty animals focused. On the flip side, the leader was just an inch away before digging his fangs into Ethan's neck and suddenly his vision turned black.
Shaking his head, he stepped back and shouted rubbing his eyes,
" What's going on? I can't see anything. Clark, Robert where are you all?"
The fellow member Clark replied anxiously,
" Leader, we are blind too."
He gritted his teeth and continued,
" Looks like, this cheap brat has played a trick on us. What should we do now? "
The leader groaned loudly in frustration,
" Hold him tightly, don't let him run. I will see how long he can continue casting this spell over us. Give our sight back, coward. You used your tricks like cheap woman. Wait and see, what will I do to you when I get my vision back."
Meanwhile Athena quickly reached near them and went to break free Ethan without speaking.
Her eyes stopped at his pale face followed by his wings which was flowing blood constantly. Her mind sank as she recalled his words that wings were their biggest weakness.
Her heart throbbed in pain as she lifted up her right hand to touch his cheek. She missed this man madly in these few days. The amount of time they had spent with each others might be very short. But the affection she felt for him that couldn't be destroyed so easily.
Ethan tried to open his eyes curiously when he sensed the gentle touch on his cheek.
This hand... somehow felt so familiar..
Her eyes fired up at the sight of vampires who was holding him ruthlessly. She wouldn't hesitate to kill this bastards if Ethan's safely wasn't the first priority.
Thus she only threw few punches on them so that they would leave his body. Groaning loudly the vampires fell backward abruptly. Ethan's numb figure leaned in as his face blood covered face fell on Athena's shoulder weakly.
For a moment, her heart skipped a bit at the closeness between them.His slow breathing was touching her earlobes as he heard her calling out softly,
" A.. Athena.."
She felt an extreme warmth in her heart after hearing her name from his lips. She thought that they would never meet or ever see each others in this life. But may be destiny had decided something else for their journey. When two of them made for each others, at the end of the day they will meet in the same path.
Ethan had no strength of his body anymore. He was leant against her figure completely and had lost his consciousness for loosing too much blood. Athena's hand went behind his back to support his balance and instantly it was covered with blood that made him shiver in fear.
She looked aside to see Siemus who was ruthlessly beating those vampires without waiting for her command. She pulled out each of their fangs mercilessly which was the most cruel step of killing a vampire. They all begged her to stop this torture but Siemus paid zero attention to their mourning.
She already felt so devastated for the past few years when she couldn't help Athena in her worst state. This time, she vowed to show no mercy to the people who dared to hurt her lady or her beloved ones.
After being satisfied of the bruises over the vampires body, Siemus spotted the leader who was trying to fly away despite being blind. Siemus rushed towards him with her quickened speed and grabbed his collarbone from back.
The leader choked at the strength as he begged sobbing,
" Who is it? Please leave me.. Please.. I didn't want to kill him.. We had been ordered.. we didn't.."
Siemus's face turned sour as she looked back at Athena to see her command. Athena frowned hard and signaled Siemus to interrogate further.
Siemus got her gesture and asked coldly increasing the strength on his collarbone,
" Who gave you the order? Spit out his name unless you want to die."
The leader choked vigorously bending on the crowd and was hesitating to open his mouth. Siemus was loosing her patience as she commanded one last time growling furiously,
" I say, speak out his name or else you all will be buried here. You have no idea what a RAIBON vampire can do."
The leader quivered in her last word and finally decided to speak out the truth. But suddenly they all heard many noises coming out from the forest ahead.
Siemus quickly left his collarbone after giving one last hard squeeze and rushed towards Athena who was looking at the way of the noises confusedly,
" My Lady, we can't stay here anymore. Prince Ethan had come to train the teenage fairies. They must be here too. We can't be found. Let's take him somewhere else."
Athena nodded still holding the curiosity of knowing the name of the mastermind. Then she climbed on Siemus's birdie figure and kept holding Ethan in her arms gazing at his pale face pitifully.
VAMPIRE WORLD,
After coming down from the carriage, Aaron stepped ahead domineeringly and started wandering his sharp rues all around. Surprisingly the path had no block or anything unusual then why did the horses refuse to go ahead?
As he walked quite far away from the carriage, he figured out a circle of haze had covered the path from few metres ahead.
Looking up at the rainy sky, he frowned hard as ominous feelings started surfacing his mind.
It wasn't any winter time. Moreover the rain was still continuing with slow paces drenching the weather from afternoon. There wasn't any chance of creating haze in this weather until someone had created it through spell purposely.
After taking one glance of Esme's carriage, he created a magical safety barrier around it before walking ahead towards the haze area.
The raindrops suddenly increased its pace wetting his suite and long coat as he took cautious steps forward. As he entered inside the foggy circle, he suddenly felt a rush of intoxication through his body as if the haze had hypnotised him all of sudden.
Soon after, hundreds of dark shadows started circling his body and whispered something in a slow and dangerous tone.
Aaron blinked and saw those dark balls of shadows blankly. As a dark shadow passed through his shoulder, he heard a mournful tone of a woman,
" Leave my son.. Aaron.. baby.."
His whole silhouette trembled at the tone whom he only heard in his dream and remembered from his vampire memories. His mouth gasped in astonishment and quickly stalked the shadow anxiously calling out,
" Mom.. Mom... don't go.. "
