Chapter 92 - The Search - Part Two

When we got to the bar Roland and Betty were already there.

"What took you so long?" Roland asked as soon as I walk to them.

"Nothing, the usual argument with Zaneb" I murmured.

"Anything?" I asked.

"No, but we saw someone else" Betty whispered.

"Who?" I asked casually, I was only interested in one person and that's the mysterious lady.

"Sir Newton, I mean you, uncle Fidel," Roland said almost whispering.

My eyes widened as I fold my fist in anger. 

"What did you say?" I howl.

"Yes, but come down Nancy," Betty said, it was too late to come down I was already fuming in anger and the rage I was feeling covered me like a shadow. I couldn't control it.

"Where?" I said in a hoarse voice scaring my two best friends.

"Nancy, you need to come down, he was with his men" Roland whispered.

"I asked where did you see him?" I asked again this thing with a loud voice that left Betty panicking.

"There," he said pointing to the bar.

I storm inside the bar and saw him in the company of women.

"Leave!" I howl as they all run away for their life.

"See who we have here? I adorable niece" he smirks.

I tilted my head as I grab him by the neck. His men came at me, they all ended up in the air. I couldn't explain what was happening. The few humans at the bar runoff.

"What is happening to my friend?" Betty asked almost crying.

"I don't know Betty, I'm as shocked as you," Roland said.

"You said her wolf side was gone, doesn't it mean it didn't work?" Betty pouts.

"I don't know okay, I'm sure it worked, I'm also surprised so stop asking me" Roland let out a chuckle as his eyes widened.

"Nancy... I'm your uncle, forgive me" he pleaded.

I grabbed his left arm and pulled it out. He let out a loud scream.

I grabbed the other hand and let it fly in the air.

Betty and Roland cover their eyes. They couldn't watch the horror anymore.

I hold on to his head with my fingers plowed in his eyes as he screams out begging me to spare his life.

There was silence. I turned to face Roland and Betty who had horror over their faces, with Fidel's head still in my hands.

I was numb, I was conscious and fully aware of my surroundings but couldn't explain what just happened.

Completely in a daze and not disgusted by the sight of the blood, in fact, I felt nothing.

"Oh mine, the show is over, everyone leaves!" The lady in red said clapping her hand.

Everyone starts to leave the bar.

"Clean this mess up, Lydia," she said looking at the lady at the counter.

"Yes ma" she replied.

"Oh geez, what a mess you made my dear," she said pulling me from the pool of blood. I quickly let go of Fidel's head as I panicked I was covered in his blood.

I just killed someone! 

I killed him!

I killed my mother's murder!

I'm a murderer now. I slowly let out a chuckle.

I whispered as I closed my eyes allowing the tears held up on my eyes to flow.

"You are the mysterious lady we have been looking for?" Roland said pointing at the lady in red who was standing beside me.

I may have served justice for my mother but I feel cold inside.

"What wait, I remember you, you were the same lady from Portagos in Parniavia, the lady from the salon" I whispered.

"Yes, yes you got that right but first let's get you out of these blood-stained clothes.

"Did you see that I killed him" I mumble, followed by a burst of awkward laughter, I suddenly broke down in a pearl of tears.

Suddenly everything went blank.....

Nancy..... Nancy .... Can you hear me.

"I will take her with me, you two can come along"

"Oh, Nancy what do I do with you?" Roland pouts.

I woke up not in my usual bright ceiling but in complete darkness, there was a candle at the corner of the room. It was the only source of light that shines in the room, I drag myself out from the tiny bed I was laying on.

Everywhere hurts.

"You are finally awake?" I recognise the voice, it was Roland.

"Where are we?"

"Well, you fainted and the mysterious lady was kind enough to bring you here" Roland pouts giving me strange glares.

"Stop calling her the 'mysterious lady' her name is Meredith" Betty mumbles walking with a lamp. she sat beside me on the bed and gives me a warm smile.

"Fine, Meredith" Roland whispers.

"How are you feeling?" Meredith asked with a bowl of herbs in her hands.

"I'm fine, do you know where we can find Baby?" I asked without blinking.

"You need to nurse your body before you think of Baby, he is doing fine more or less" she rumbles setting the bowl of herbs on the table.

"What do you mean more or less? what do you know? where is he?" I asked almost as commanding her. what is happening to me I easily get angry and I still can't explain what happens at the bar.

"I mean....."

"Speak already" I demanded. 

Roland and Betty stare at me strangely. I put on my shoes and walk out of the room as they all follow me out.

"There is a bigger problem for you to worry about" she finally let out.

"I don't care, do you know where Baby is or not?" I howl.

"Alright, I will tell you what I know, Baby is wounded and he is receiving treatment," she said.

"How bad is it?"

"Very bad, he might not survive it," she said.

"Where is he? I need to be with him, take me to him?" I sob, my heart shred when I heard he might not make it as I feel movements in my stomach. I grasp my stomach as the pain gets intense.

"I'm sorry, I can't before he shut his eyes, he clearly told me to make sure you don't come looking for him, I won't have told you anything about his whereabouts but the circumstances have changed, this is all I can tell you" she rumbles.

"He still didn't want to see even when he was in the blink of death" I pout as a single tear escaped my eyes. I quickly wipe it away.

"He only wants you to be safe, he didn't want you to be in danger" she comforted.

"isn't that a little too late now?" I muttered.

"Listen, remember what I told you, you have great power than you think, and now more than ever you need my help else there will be a catastrophe" she mumbles.

"No thank you, I can take care of myself and I will find Baby with or without your help. Let's get out of here guys" I pout walking away.

"What do you mean by Nancy needs you now more than ever?" Roland questioned.

"You are a wizard, a very powerful one at that, you should be able to figure it out" Meredith whispered.

I turned to look at Roland who was in complete shock, did they hear something I didn't.

"Are you guys not coming?" I yell.

"Nancy I think you should stay, and Meredith has accepted to take us to where Baby is right miss Meredith?" Roland mumbled looking at her. Betty seems to get it.

"Listen to me, she can't do this all by herself and she needs Baby with her right now" Roland whispers almost threatening her.

"Fine, I will take you guys there" she restored.

Meredith agreed to take us where Baby was. According to her he was found badly wounded on the street.

My heart can't stop beating and my stomach keeps crumbling but I refuse to pay attention to it.

I only want to know Baby is okay. There was total silence as we journey through the dark thick forest.

Everyone is lost in their own thoughts. Meredith knows something which she is not disclosing to us. She knows me than I know myself.

There was a creepy sound that made everyone fright but not Meredith.

"Keep walking and whatever happens don't stop or look up" she whispers with caution.

I rolled my eyes as I hinged in the direction of the sound. My gaze suddenly fell on the moon.

A part of my memory that went off is coming back. I could clearly remember seeing creatures with wings that called me one of them.

The more I try to remember the harder it gets.

It felt as if my head was too heavy on my body and wants to fall off.

I fall to the ground holding my head as I groan in pain.

"Are you okay?" Roland mumbles as they all rush to my side.

"My head suddenly wanted to fall" I murmur clenching Roland's arm.

"We are almost there, you need some rest" Meredith pout.

"I'm fine, you don't have to treat me like some sick person" I snapped getting up from the ground and walking away.

"When was the last thing you saw your blood?" 

Meredith asked folding her arms around her chest.
