[Mind saying where are we heading to, Severus?]
"We going to Jane's home"
[But you know we destroyed it or should I say someone burned it]
Severus chuckled when he heard it but didn't refute. "It's time for me to show you my new skill Noworry"
[I see Little birdie has grown now]
"....."
Severus rolled his eyes on Noworry's comment.
It was obvious who was the bird.
Soon he reached a secluded place. The place remained the same, still covered with trees however the house was missing. It was like a dead land. In the night time, chilly winds were blowing and Noworry unknowingly shuddered.
"Stay calm Lil Birdi. It's just wind"
[Who says I am afraid? ] Noworry scoffed as well as snuggled closed to Severus.
Severus was amused by seeing noworry behaviour.
He clicked his finger in the air and a yellow wisp immediately appeared illuminating the surrounding. Sensing warmth from the-wisp, Noworry's fears reduced to some extent. Severus observed that the land was all black and not even grass was germinating on it. Reesen had good weather and soil concentration so this place shouldn't be barren. Since he blazed everything on fire, the soil's nitrogen cycle was already set in the queue, so more and more grass should have germinated here. This made Severus curious and in his curiosity, he crouched on the ground as he started digging a small portion.
Noworry saw Severus digging the ground was baffled.
[What the hell? Why are you digging?]
Shushhh!
Severus shushed the bird and continued digging. When a one-metre hole was dug up, Severus took in some soil in his hands from it and closed his eyes as he concentrated on it.
Severus crouched there for half an hour and this made Noworry restless but he didn't disturb him. Soon Severus opened his eyes but his expressions were complicated and as well as serious. Noworry knew something was the matter but it wasn't the right place and right time to ask so he just sealed his curiosity. Severus slowly filled the hole that he was digging while conversing with Noworry.
"Noworry we are done. Last time when I encountered that she had a broken soul but I didn't suspect her to be rotten to her core"
Noworry felt the grip of fear again. After his conditions worsened, it always made him fear what if one day he was not strong enough to protect Severus? He just can't lose him. This fear was eating him day and night. A never felt feeling of helplessness plagued his mind. [What do you mean she is rotten? Didn't you killed her last time?]
"I am afraid she didn't die"
Silence!
A deathly silence stilled the surrounding.
[Now?]
"What? She can come for me anytime?"
[You mean she will be taking her revenge? Dammit if you are aware of it then why aren't you running away? Leave before she can catch us, Severus]
"Leaving was never an option Noworry. Even if I turn around and run for my life it's futile" Severus shook his head as he completed his sentence.
Noworry shrieked in aggravation. [Why?]
"Why?" Severus chuckled, "Because I already sinned"
[What? How?]
"When she was alive I duped her killed her and now when she is dead, I am going to do the same"
Bam!
Boom!
An explosion occurred.
Nowrry didn't have enough time to understand what was happening. All he saw was the fire. Severus was surrounded in fire. To be more precise he was standing between a circular rune that was lit by fire.
[The hell]
Hahaha!
Severus heard a high pitch voice and followed the direction of sound, and finally saw her.
On a high tree, Jane was hanging invertedly like a bat using her leg as support. It was a rather very complex position but there wasn't any uneasy expression on her face.
"Hello, Darling. Missed me?"
Jane hopped down as she said it and landed on the ground.
Severus' heart was beating wildly however he didn't want to lose his composure."What are you trying to do Jane?"
"Oh how silly? Didn't I told you everything the last time we met? Nevermind what a bad memory you have Severus. It's simple. I just want to revive my old lover back and then live with him peacefully" The ghost named Jane casually explained her reason but it send chills down to Severus and Noworry.
Severus knew that one wrong statement and they would be done for that's why he very slowly put his words.
"Jane are you aware that you are dead?"
"Oh, how silly of you Severus. Of course, I know that I am dead otherwise" Jane rotated her head 360 degrees and repositioned it back as she chuckled eerily. "How can a living person perform such tricks?"
Severus stomach churned when he saw Desella petty tricks.
"Jane? If you know that you are dead then what do all these things mean? This rune, this fire and you? Why can't you follow heaven's will and surrender yourself? You will be reincarnated and maybe you will lead a good another life. Listen to me and stop it. We can talk about it"
Severus tried his hard to knock sense in Jane but his efforts were futile.
Jane merely chuckled while listening all this.
"I am happy that you are concerned for me Severus however, I don't need your pity or your sympathy. All I need is Gye. I love him deeply. He died for that bitch. I was thoughtful and one step ahead of that I cast a spell on her soul and bonded her soul to a dead tree. You Know Severus I even cast a spell on Gye's soul that he forget about that bitch, Shenna. It's been so long. I am sure that Gye's soul would have no memory about Shenna. It's a perfect time for me to call his soul and give him a nice and handsome body so that we can both become one and cherish our love"
Jane started a hysterical laugh. Her black pupils dilated and there was nothing left except white sclera inside her eyes. Her hairs were all scattered while her lips were black and chapped. She looked like a living corpse.
Horror!
Scary!
Too disgusting!
She didn't waited for Severus as she ran towards him and jumped on him but Severus managed to dodge her however the fire was making things difficult for her. If Jane started fighting then he wouldn't have a chance to win since the fire was already hindering his movement leaving him defenseless. He had no place to hide or attack. It was a direct combat for him but Jane wasn't going to play by the rule, thus he was in precarious situation.
Noworry who percehd on the top of tree saw everything and cursed himself.
[Why? Of all time why only this time?]
He was very weak and his powers were still in restoring phase. There was no chance for him to win this battle but witnessing Severus getting all beaten up made his heart burn in rage. He hopped from the tree and hopped on Severus shoulder.
"Why are you here? Just run away and save your life?"
[Like I will]
Severus tried persudaing him but Noworry just dis regarded him and flew high in the sky as he transformed into a tiny blue light and pierecd Severus body and dissapered inside his body.
Severus didn't had any time to react. As soon as he was pierced his whole body started glowing with blue light. He was glowing beautifully like a blue lantern in festival.
Jane saw the scene and just snickered.
"Petty tricks"
Severus came into consciousness immediately and saw that flames around him had subsided a bit and and now he could crss them but Jane didn't gave him a way. No matter from which side he tried, he was always faced by jane and everytime she kicked him.
Severus just lay down there with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. It was no doubt that Jane was strong. Her soul was beyond repair and no efforts of persuation will affect her however, Severus was aware that fighting head on also won't help. There surrounding was filled with dark energy and Severus concluded that Jane was feeding on this black energy. Severus quickly closed his eyes and calculated something but his expressions tuned for worse.
The amount of black energy was extreme in the air but Severus didn't dare to use it. He already was suffering from after effects of fight with Tishn. God only knows what will happen if he again used black energy in battle.
"You are nothing but a rotten mortal who is just above else because of your reincarnation Severus. I wouldn't lie but the first time I saw, I knew it that your weren't ordinary thena after that you yourself confessed."
Severus was shocked with the revealtion but he played by ear and just followed her conversation in hopes of digging some truth.
