Chapter 100 - Something Precious to Us

When Cora mentioned Kayla's name, although the ceremony continued, her absence was noticed. Kuro became extremely fl.u.s.tered. He asked Sam to go and find her as soon as the ceremony was over. Reinjie, on the other hand, went to the same place as Dmitri and Adrianna and waited outside their room in anxiety. Nobody knew what was happening and why had Adrianna and Dmitri become unwell.

"I am someone who has come to protect someone," he said as he lifted his wand and said, "Avaonte Aero". The spell worked and Kayla was lifted in the air in the same condition. The man started walking out of the forest with Kayla floating behind him. Kayla was confused, scared and anxious. She couldn't move. Her entire body was gripped in that lighting leash. All the branches, twigs and leaves moved out of their way as the duo moved forward. Nervous as hell, Kayla started crying. She called him out, "Please leave me. If Dmitri will come to know what I did, he will kill me."

He stayed quiet for some time and replied, "Justice has to prevail. You dared to touch something precious to us. If your supreme commander will spare you, we will kill you."

Kayla cursed herself for getting into this situation. She cursed Cora for putting her into this situation. Her greed had led her to something she could never imagine. "Who are you?" she asked again.

"I am Ein, a wizard," he answered leaving Kayla perplexed. This was her first encounter with a wizard. She didn't know that they were so powerful.

Ein walked with her to the periphery of the red moon pack territory where they met Sam. Sam had been finding Kayla for almost two hours now. It was dark in the night and he had given all the hopes of finding her. Just as he was about to return, he saw a man walking with a woman floating in air behind him. Baffled at the scene in front of him, Sam rubbed his eyes to make sure that he wasn't dreaming. But the man walked to him and stopped.

"Your sister tried to run away after poisoning Adrianna and Dmitri," he said coldly.

Sam's mouth fell open not only at the way Kayla was hanging in the air, but also at the revelation of the man in front of him.

He ran to Kayla and touched her only to be jolted by the electricity around her. "What is this magic? Who are you? And how dare you keep my sister like that? What kind of baseless allegations are you charging her with?"

Ein didn't reply and walked ahead with Kayla.

"Stop, I say!" shouted Sam with menacing growl. He ran to Ein to attack him but was thrown far away. Ein looked at him coldly and said, "If you do that again, I will tie to in the similar way as I have tied Kayla."

Afraid, Sam said, "Where are you taking her?"

"I am taking her back to the supreme commander," he replied. "She has to reveal what she did."

Sam was frightened. "Please let her walk. If you will take her like this, it will be a great dishonor for my family."

Ein kept walking, however, five minutes later he allowed her to get on the ground. Sam and Kayla walked together behind him.

They reached the palace soon. Most of the people had left and only the close ones were left. As soon as Howard saw Ein, he nodded. Kayla and Sam entered the hall outside the room where Dmitri and Adrianna were being treated. Kuro was baffled at kayla's situation. He looked at Sam and mentally asked him about it. Sam explained whatever he saw. Reinjie was furious at Kayla. But outside they were maintaining a very cold demeanor.

Cora and Keisha were standing right there tense about what would happen now.

Ed went inside the room and informed Dmitri about the situation. "Kayla has been found. You must come and take a look at this situation," Ed said to Dmitri not wanting to disturb Adrianna. 

Adrianna was lying down but when she heard about it, she wanted to go out to meet Kayla. She got up and opened the door and stepped outside. She wasn't so well, but she spotted Kayla. When she saw that Kayla was tied in a lighting whip, Adrianna went to her and untied her as if she was removing a simple rope from her. The wizards present over there were stunned. Was she really their queen? No one could touch that lighting while Adrianna did it so effortlessly.

"Kayla, who did that to you?" demanded Adrianna.

Kayla started crying and she pointed to Ein. Ein narrowed his eyes and said, "Speak the truth."

Cora and Keisha started shaking. If Kayla would speak the truth, both of them would be hanged immediately. Keisha held Cora's hand.
