Kiara screamed with her eyes tightly, but she knew that she was helpless. She didn't have a voice, so she opened her eyes to fight. Just as she opened her eyes, she felt a powerful beam of energy hitting her body and she fainted there itself.
The masters who were hiding behind the shrubs got an uneasy feeling as they could see neither Emmy nor Kiara.
" Neshag, I don't feel good, let us go and check where the girls are."
Master Neshag also felt as seniors, they shouldn't just hide and see things, they need to lead the younger generation correctly, so both of the masters rushed towards the front door.
" Alex, Houlson come quick..."
Neshag screamed on top of his voice, luckily the other three women were nearby and they reached on the spot soon.
" What happened to my sister and Emmy?"
Eliza squatted down and placed Kiara's head over her lap while on the other side, Janet placed Emmy's head over her lap.
" Elder, she is burning hot... Juliet, pass me the water quickly please."
Juliet gave water to Eliza and another one to Janet but she refused.
" Julie, Emmy is dead cold, you rub her feet and I will rub her arms."
Watching the girls take action on their own, masters felt they were useless in this scenario. However, Neshag and Rotrigues could not believe within a few minutes what had happened here.
After a short while, the men returned after removing the debris but still, they didn't find anything informative. They hadn't heard the scream of their master so all of them didn't rush to complete their work.
Just the five men reached the entrance, they felt something was amiss here. Seeing Emmy and Kiara unconscious, Alex dashed towards them followed by Houlson. Janet moved to let hold Emmy in his embrace. The strange coldness from her body was not new to Alex, so he directly hugged her tight.
" How long has she been unconscious ?"
With his imperturbable calm, Alex questioned the masters. Under his cold glare, Neshag kept silent whereas Rotrigues answered him gingerly.
" Just five to seven minutes, We saw Emmy looking at that fountain earnestly then suddenly she turned over to start walking towards the door. Kiara was clearing the door premises so we signalled her to move away from Emmy which she did. After that, we decided to check here as there was no response from here."
When Alex was busy warming up Emmy, Houlson looked at master Rotrigues. He was scared about the hidden specialities of Emmy. He still remembered how her eyes shone when they joked on Alex. To confirm his suspicion, master Rotrigues nodded his head.
A sudden feeling of happiness sprinted in Houolson's mind, if what his father had mentioned was true then Emmy would be able to help them in revenging the core power.
When Houlson was submerged in his thinking, Eliza found her sister twitching her eyebrows.
" Brother-in-law, look here."
Houlson took Kiara in his hands and slowly started to talk with her to make her feel secure as she was shocked. Slowly Kiara opened her eyes and saw the worried expression over her husband's face. Her eyes teared up and she initiated to hug Houlson in front of the whole group. At first, Houlson also hugged her tightly but then he saw his master smiling, it made him shy and blushing.
Houlson stroked his wife's hair and softly asked, " Kiara, do you remember what happened before you fainted?"
Upon Houlson reminding her, Kiara felt chill thinking about it and her body trembled. She looked at Emmy who was still unconscious but was breathing, so her tension was gone in a jiffy, but before telling about it, Kiara wanted water, so she looked at Juliet who was holding the water bottle in her hands.
" Julie, please pass me the water."
Houlson, Kiara and all others were thrilled to hear this voice. Even Kiara was astonished by hearing her own voice for the first time. She touched her throat, she could feel a strange power in there.
" I can talk… I can finally talk … Eli, Houlson... I can talk.."
With tears in her eyes, Kiara then slowly explained what had happened before she fainted.
" Actually, I heard someone walking with gravy steps, so I turned around to see Emmy approaching here with an unusual expression. Luckily I saw the masters signalling me to move away from here but even before I moved, a sudden powerful beam hit Emmy and myself. "
" What do you mean by powerful beam?"
Master Neshag was sure that he didn't sense any sort of power source in here so from where could a powerful beam arise? He looked at Rotrigues to check whether he knew something about it but he also denied it.
" I am quite sure that it was a dynamic force which if touched, would burn us alive. The beam escaped from the door when Emmy opened the door, but then I think it sensed my presence here and turned into a vigorous force to attack me"
" Kiara, are you okay? Where else did you get hurt? "
Houlson lifted her up and asked Eliza to check her body but Kiara fiercely refused it. She then slowly pacified Houlson and her sister.
" Listen to me completely dear, I am okay. When I thought that everything was finished, I shut my eyes tight but then I felt a heavy hand over my shoulders which pushed me back. I opened my eyes to see Emmy taking that beam hit to protect me."
Now all the eyes were on Emmy, being able to open the door and protect Kiara from the powerful beam attack, master Rotrigues was getting more confirmed towards the conclusion the elders had drawn about the only prodigy of the four elders of the Esbertrazian clan.
However, was it possible? The inheritance of power? But then how could she dream about the secret of the Yalasgue clan? Now he was getting worried, Emmy had already lost her memory and there was no way that he could help his Shawn's doctor in regaining her memory now.
" What did you say, Emmy was able to open the door?"
Mike chimed into the conversation making the group focus on the major problem, oh yes, the tower can be opened by Emmy, an heir to the power of enchantress. Master Rotrigues was glowing in pride which Alex read clearly from his face.
" Master, I think you must clearly know how Emmy is connected to the enchantress. Well, when Emmy wakes up, let us all have a proper conversation."
Alex's voice was smooth but cold as ice and the ones hearing it may think that he was threatening the masters at their faces. In fact, he was to an extent threatening these two, because both of them knew Emmy had some abnormality but still they didn't try to stop her and now his beloved was unconscious.
Jordan and the Demar brothers volunteered to check the tower but they failed to open the door.
" Hey Kiara, are you sure that Emmy opened this door before you both fainted."
Kiara nodded her head as she was sure of what she had seen before. Left with no choice, the masters suggested breaking the door open. Moreover, time was flying, so they decided to stay in the tower for the night.
The four men along with the elders tried to push the door but it didn't budge. Finally, Alex decided to give a hand in the door breaking task but just as he tried to pass Emmy over to Janet, she woke up.
Emmy who was in an unconscious state felt as if she slept for a good amount of time, when she opened her eyes, the handsome countenance of Alex made her happy. As she advanced to kiss him, he cleared his throat and smiled cheekily.
First Emmy got pissed as he refused her kiss but then she noticed the surrounding. The thought of her friends watching along with the two masters, made Emmy want to dig a hole and hide inside it.
" I didn't know that you were so proactive Emmy darling!!"
Juliet loved to tease her sister-in-law and she never wasted a chance to do it. Emmy glared at her and rolled her eyes. Seeing Emmy back to her normal self, Alex felt relieved. He loved this Emmy who smiles and behaves as a cute innocent woman but he entirely admires the strong and willful devious Emmy, who never accepts defeat.
" Girls, let us open this door or else the cold will make us faint soon."
Master Neshag tactfully changed the topic which made Emmy think of what happened before she fainted. She stood up and walked towards the door. Emmy's hands were shivering but she knew that she could do it. In fact, amongst them, only she could do it.
Seeing Emmy coming towards them, the men moved away and waited to see how she was able to open the door. Emmy stood in front of the door and knocked the door three times. A soft breeze suddenly made way to them and the door opened slowly.
" This was the infamous technique to open this great door ?"
