485 Die
To say that she was shocked when she saw Rafael kneeling in front of her mother would be an understatement!
“What in the world happened here? What did you do to him?” She ran to help Rafael and held his shoulders but he shook his head.
Her mother laughed as if she had heard a joke.
“What have I done! Anne? Can you not see that I am the one behind the bars while he is a free vampire! How can you blame your mother for this too?” she asked in a dramatic tone as she held her chest, “i am hurt my daughter. You never came to see me and now you are here to fight with me over this vampire!”
She smiled at her daughter but she did not pay any attention to her. She kept trying to help Rafael when she laughed
“You must be too worried about him to ignore your mother! But how would it help him? Do you think you are strong enough to go against your mother?” she asked again when Anne finally glared at her.
“What are you doing mother? I am fighting for your safety and forgiveness but you are making it difficult. Do you not want them to forgive you!” her eyes blazed fire as anger started to fill them.
“Forgiveness! Do you think i should be the one asking for forgiveness?” she snarled as she hit her knee with the bars of the cell and Rafael winced. Blood started to come out of his knees and his face turned paler.
That wound! It was the same as hazel suffering just a few minutes ago.
.....
“Mother, you have used forbidden magic on both of them!” Anne gasped with horror but her mother just smirked with an evil look in her eyes.
“How can you be so cruel when they did not punish you ever for your deeds! Heal them now!” The eyes of her mother turned colder as she raised her hand and twisted it when Anne flew in the air until her head hit the wall on the other side.
“You are not in the position to order me! You are one of them too. If you continue to anger me, I am going to kill you with them too.” she warned the girl whose head was bleeding and she fell on the ground.
“How in the world did you think that I am so weak to be kept in the cell so carelessly. And you even became so careless to drink anything that was offered by others. You are the one to blame for your condition.” she said with anger and hatred as she looked at Rafael as if she could not bear his existence.
“You never deserved to exist in the first place when you tried to hold the filthy dirt and fought for her. She was a mistake. And mistakes are meant to be corrected!” she shouted loudly and the whole cell shook even the walls trembled under her voice.
The more pressure she was putting, Rafael was suffering further. His whole face had turned white. He tried to stand up with force but only resulted in more bleeding.
His hands somehow reached the pocket and he took out his gun and aimed at the witch.
“Whatever you are doing, stop it now! Or I will kill you this instant.” he threatened but the witch only stared at him and laughed out loud as if she had heard a joke.
“You are a fool. Can you not see? A small wound on me would be enough to make you kneel and yet you are threatening to kill me! Ha! If I got a severe wound, you would be the first to die, vampire. Your life is attached to me.” she showed her wound and smirked when his hands trembled.
“What if I hurt myself then?” He pointed the gun on his hands this time, “if our life is connected, my pain should hurt you too?” she frowned as it had never happened in the past.
The witches had used forbidden magic and hurt themselves to kill strong creatures like wizards and vampires but never had it happened that the other creature threatened them.
“Ha! Do you think that you can hurt me? You are…”
“Bam!” Without hesitating, he shot the bullet in his arms. The bullet pierced his skin, cutting the expensive suit he was wearing. The blood started to gush out immediately and he groaned but he was not the only one who was in pain.
The witch was no better. She was shocked to see her arm being cut and the blood started to flow. The wound was fatal and if she continued to bleed, she could die.
“You know… we vampires had a boon after drinking blood for so many years!” he said with a smirk as he walked towards her.
She was shocked to see him still walking. She had made sure that he was not able to move from that place by giving so many wounds to herself. Her arm was burning but she was more annoyed by the smirk on his face as she gritted her teeth.
“We did not care much about the loss of blood. It is like we’re dying by spending more calories. I will have more blood later. But what about you, witch? Would you be able to survive?” he asked with a smirk when she glared at him.
He pointed at her arms as if she could not feel the pain.
“You know I can shoot my other arms too. I have the courage. But do you have it?” he asked as he pulled the trigger of the gun again while holding it in his other hands when her eyes widened and fear started to crawl in it.
“I will not bandage or try to heal myself until you die. Even if I die with you, it would be worth it.” without any hesitation he closed his eyes ready to shoot himself again when she gasped.
“Wait! You will not do that.”
