Chapter 885: The time and the cure (2)
The sight of Jedrek being kissed by Serefina boiled her blood with anger. Lilac never thought that she could be this angry, until all she saw was red.
Serefina was very close to Jedrek, she rested her body against his and cupped his face with her left hand, while her right hand placed Jedrek's on her hips, as she kissed him.
"STOP!" Lilac hyperventilated by the provocative sight, she gritted her teeth and screamed at the top of her lungs to make the witch stop and stay away from Jedrek. "STOP!"
Serefina opened her eyes, irritated by Lilac's voice, who was disrupting her moment. She gave the guardian angel a brief glance, while mouthing words; 'try to stop me.'
And that was all Lilac needed…
==============
Calleb trained all of his focus on his opponent. Today was yet another tiring day of training and he had been fighting since early in the morning. It was quite hard to determine whether it was morning or night, since the sun was covered by the thick blanket of the gloomy clouds.
Calleb was paired with one of the warrior from Torak's pack, but before he leapt very high and was about to shift into his beast mid-air, suddenly all of the voices around Calleb died down, just like the sound of radio that was being turned off.
"What?" Calleb mumbled in confusion. He saw the man stop in his mid transformation and his body was in the air, as though he could fly. "What is this?"
The Gamma observed his surrounding before he concluded what was happening; the time was stopped.
This was not the first time he experienced this, therefore Calleb was not panic, he just frowned.
The questions that ran in his mind was; if Raine stopped the time, but why could he still move? The same happened when they went to rescue Lilac from the centaur.
Raine also stopped the time in order to save Lilac's life, but Calleb was able to move as well just like the other Donovans.
And another question that crossed his mind was; why would Raine stop the time? Did something happen to her, until she felt the need to use her power? Or maybe she was just practicing, since she just got a hold of her power recently.
Whatever it was, Calleb hoped that nothing bad should happen to her, moreover Torak was with her, thus there was no way he would let something harmful befell on her.
And now, all Calleb could do was to wait until the time started to tick again…
The Gamma looked up into the sky. The dark clouds were hanging very low and this spread a sense of sadness and despair…
Though the people in the city was not a problem, at least not now, but the news about the missing people made them restless again.
Calleb sat down on the ground and breathed heavily, he used this moment to take some rest and think what he had done in order to evade Raine's power until it couldn't affect him.
==============
"You shouldn't interfere," he said, when he saw Serefina who was panting heavily on the ground, writhing in pain, as this was the day when she would feel the unbearable pain that tore her soul into pieces.
Serefina was too tired and occupied to mind her own business. She didn't even have time to glare at Dorian.
"You should've let him die," Dorian spoke with so much derision on the tip of his tongue. "I should kill you twice when I have a chance…" he thought to himself.
"You will not do such a thing, shadow…" Asmodeus suddenly appeared not too far from the witch and the shadow warrior. "She is more important than you…"
Dorian glared at Asmodeus, who was admiring her well-polished nails with such interest, as if there was nothing more important for her except that.
"I pity her," Dorian looked at Serefina, who was trying to fight the pain. She was very vulnerable at this moment and the shadow warrior could kill her within a second, especially after she helped Jedrek and postponed his death.
"So do I," Asmodeus said and watched how Serefina cried her heart out.
In spite of the fact that she had tried to hide herself during this period of time, but those filthy creatures still managed to find her whereabouts.
"But, I agree with you," Asmodeus talked to Dorian. "She shouldn't interfere with the curse. It would be very romantic and dramatic if Jedrek died in the hands of his mate. Such a beautiful love story…" the devil sighed in regret.
If only Serefina was not in so much pain, she would have glared at her viciously right now.
==============
The only thing that Lilac could hear was the ringing in her ears, as she closed her eyes tightly.
For a second, she was lost in her own thoughts as she couldn't decipher what she was doing or more precisely what she had done… everything appeared blurry in her memory.
But then, she felt the tingles on her skin along with a voice that she had been longing to hear.
Fearfully, Lilac opened her eyes and her lips mentioned her name. "Selene…"
The moon goddess was standing before her, the faint glow from her being illuminated the dark of their surroundings, but even so, there was nothing that Lilac could see… everything was too dark for her to catch any form or knowing where she was right now.
"Child, what are you doing?" The moon goddess looked at her and Lilac could see a trace of disappointment in those beautiful eyes of the goddess. This was the first time she saw it.
Why was Selene disappointed in her? What had she done?
"You shouldn't let your anger get the best of you," Selene spoke again, though all of this was still confusing for Lilac.
"Where are we?" Lilac asked an irrelevant question.
"In your mind," Selene answered softly.
And then everything went dark again, before Lilac could feel the tingly feeling that danced on her skin again, letting her know that Jedrek was near her.
