487 None.. But You!
“No! I will not die.. Wait! I will give you all the antidotes, Rafael!” she shouted at the top of her lungs when finally he tilted his head and let go of Diana who had fallen on the ground.
His eyes were so hollow as if he could not feel any emotion anymore.
He took slow steps towards her and for the first time in her life, she felt fear. Her body fell into cold sweats when he crouched in front of her and looked straight into her eyes.
“And you think that I will trust you?” and then he laughed as if it was a joke when she trembled with fear.
“I will do it in front of you.” she announced and then closed her eyes and started whispering.
Soon the spell started to work and both of them coughed dark blood. As if the blood had its own life, it started to move and struggle.
Then it took the shape of a pest, a leech, and then stated to hold them but Rafael killed it under his feet.
She winched with pain and Diana started to struggle on the ground but it stopped after a few seconds.
“That was it?” he asked when she opened her eyes, her face was so pale and she was having trouble moving her head but she still nodded her head with some force.
.....
He stared at her for a second before bending and cutting her palm.
“Aah!” she screamed with pain as it was being too much but he did not care as he stared at his palm but nothing happened.
This time he pushed her with force but nothing happened this time too except her scowling at him.
“Hm.. looks like it worked.” he nodded his head with a satisfying look as he used his own nails to take out the bullet from his chest and his hands when she kept staring at him.
When he took out the bullet, his blood stopped and his wounds started to heal fast.
She finally took a breath of relief as she was able to take breaths again but this was not enough. She had lost a lot of blood and her recovery was not as fast as him.
“Why did you not test it on yourself?” she asked with a glare but he just passed her a snide look and then stood up.
As he walked out of the prison, the door was closed and this time Anne walked forward and started shivering spells.
The eyes of the witch widened again with shock.
“You can not do this to me, Anne. You are my daughter!” she screamed but Anne just looked away and kept whispering the spell.
Soon the prison of bars started to be covered with bricks without any space for her to see or hear others.
Her loud screams started to die behind those bricks as tears started to fall from the eyes of Anne.
“This is only the result of your actions, mother. I have tried to warn you so many times but you did not listen to me.” she wiped her eyes when Rafael walked to her and patted her shoulders.
She just shook her head and then took a deep breath.
“She would not die. At least not for now. But she would never be able to contact anyone or no one would be able to hear her.” she said in a voice filled with pain when he could only nod his head and walked away.
Diana who was in better condition now was sitting on the ground holding her head and pressing it hard to stop the throbbing pain. But when she heard his footsteps, she tried to stand.
“Rafael, I can explain. It was that witch.. She hypnotized me to support her. I did not know what was happening with me, Rafael! You know that I love you and.. And you love me too. Right?” She held his thighs as she tried to stop him but he walked away with more force making her fall in the process.
He didn’t even look back at her as if she did not exist.
“Rafael! You can not do this to me! Did you forget how you were holding my hands just a few hours ago and were about to kiss me.. Rafael.. Rafael!!!!!!” but her pleading words only echoed in the dark room.
The door was already closed leaving her behind.
Tears fell from her eyes but her face was filled with hatred when she heard the laughter.
She turned to see the witch who was laughing at her with a mocking look and scowled at her.
“This is all your mistake! You have promised me that your magic potion would make him crazy for me. Now look at what you’ve done!” she pointed at the witch as she tried to stand up. This time her body was much better due to strong healing power as she stood up and walked towards the cell of the witch who just scoffed.
“My magic was perfect! There was no mistake in it. Your greed and acts are the reason you are here!” but the reply was not enough for Diana who attacked the witch with her fangs.
“You can not kill me. The moment I die, my whole coven will attack you. We still can solve this problem. You just have to find a way to take me out and I will make stronger potions for you.” she warned Diana who paused and stared at the witch.
The offer was tempting but she had lost a lot of blood. If she did not feed herself, she would not be able to walk out of this prison.
“I still need your blood. I will be cautious not to kill you.” the witch stared at Diana but nodded in the end.
“Alright, but you have to make sure that I will survive. We still have enough weapons filled with beryllium to attack his empire in his absence. Then he would have none but you.”
