“Tsk! Who said that I am killing you because you are bad or wrong or you can harm humans!”
“Huh!! Then what is the reason for our annihilation?” The boy even forgot that the vampire had already refilled his gun and he could shoot him any second.
His eyes were filled with questions as he stared at the vampire earnestly! If only he could explain how much trouble they have faced while hiding all the time.
The kids are not able to enjoy their childhood! They are not able to find work or do anything freely.
Fear always crawls in their hearts and a small whisper is enough to keep them on their toes!
He stared at them with hatred and anger but was stunned to see the chilly piercing eyes of Rafael that trembled him.
“Because they have taken my most precious thing!” with that he pulled the safety lock of his gun.
Hazel, who was still staring at the boy, stared at Rafael when she heard the sound of a gun. Her insides stirred and before she could think what was happening, she had already moved and stood in front of the boy covering his body with hers.
“What in the world are you doing?” he fumed as his halted in the last second, if he had taken another second she would have already fallen on the ground with her body turning limp.
Hazel blinked with confusion. Her eyes were looking lost making his face colder.
“Haven’t I told you not to look into their eyes! How could I repeat the same mistake twice!” he shouted as he pushed her away gently, making sure that she would not fall but it was already too late.
The boy was not there anymore! The sound of rustling leaves and then hurried footsteps fading away could be heard at the distance.
Death started to dance in the eyes of Rafael who could see nothing but blood. This was the first time he had lost his prey and it was all due to.. Her!!
Hazel was still staring at the place where the boy was with a lost look on her face.
She was sure that she had not seen the boy! Could it be that he can use others ways too for hypnotizing her!
With that thought, she ran back to the carriage and picked up the book Rafael had given her and opened the page that told the methods of hypnotizing.
Rafael was still glaring at the retreating figure of Hazel with his cold eyes when the count finally came back to his senses.
He gulped as he tried to hide his fear but when he stared at Rafael, his eyes glittered with anticipation.
“My lord, the lady seems to be caring about the witches!” he whispered softly as if he was confused about this matter too.
“It is because she is ignorant when it comes to witches.
The boy took the benefit and hypnotized her to do his bidding.
Though she is a fool, the count should have knowledge about witches.
I wonder how the count was not able to notice that his palace is the hub of most of the witches!” the man shuddered when his anger directed on him,
He was expecting that Rafael would burst on the girl since she helped the witcher in escaping!
But when he felt the intense gaze of Rafael, sweat started to form on his forehead.
“That.. I have taken the silver test of all the servants in the palace.
I did not know how he escaped, my lord!
I will go and take another silver test for the staff by tonight!” He bowed his head as he did not have the courage to look into the eyes of the vampire who was no less than a grim reaper who had come to take his life.
The pressure was so intense that he could almost not breathe. What if the lord decided to demand for his life in exchange for the ran away witcher.
The count closed his eyes and prayed to god to save his life when the woman who had already fled to the carriage to save herself, opened the door and came out running towards them.
“My lord, now I know what happened!” her breath was rugged and her lips were quivering.
The count took a deep breath of relief when he felt the aura being taken away. He coughed a bit and then closed his eyes to calm himself.
“The boy, he had not hypnotized me through his eyes. But when I was staring at the ice wall he had created. His magic entered when both of us touched it at the same time.
Here look at this statement,
“The witches have the power to control others by transferring their magic into someone’s body!” That meant that the boy was a strong witch.
If he had wanted, he could have killed me, but he did not!
He did not seem to be a bad person. And he was right, not all the witches could be bad!
Even humans, not all of them are good! Then why are you punishing all of them?
You should only punish those who had taken what was yours!!” She did not understand why he was having war with the whole community when one person was a mistake.
Would he annihilate all humans if one of them challenged him in the war or stole something from his palace?
It just did not make any sense. Though she did not know much about the witches! She did not feel like the boy was a bad person!
“The witch you are taking side of, he is the one who had planned the attack!
And if I have been a second late. The witch would have killed you in the carriage.
And you still think he is a good person then why not you go and join them.
Why am I taking you with me! You can stay here or try to find them. Count, let’s go!”
