Into The Devil’s Heart

In the blink of an eye, Aurelia throws the book at Baston and launches at Audrey aiming for a strike but Audrey is faster than she could imagine.

She easily evades her attacks like a master playing with the student. Aurelia didn’t give up, she kept on aiming and attacking.

She believes if she keeps up, she will be able to give her a blow but no matter how much she tried, it seemed impossible to do.

She pulls out two daggers from her boots and aims directly at Audrey’s chest.

As usual, Audrey evades her in a blink of an eye. Seeing how fast she moved, Aurelia chanted a spell, and all of a sudden, she became so fast that before Audrey could process it, there was a cut on her upper arm as a result of her losing focus.

Audrey grabbed one wound and hissed in pain. Aurelia felt a wave of victory, she smiled at her pain

“Fighting is not for kids” Aurelia snorts.

Audrey didn’t mind, she deliberately wanted to make her feel victorious and superior then take it all away in a blink of an eye.

“You think?” Audrey raised a brow, a smile that wasn’t one plastered on her lips.

Aurelia’s stomach boils in anger, Audrey was supposed to be feeling pain not smiling.

She strikes again faster than the first. This time, she got Audrey’s thigh as blood oozed out staining her clothes.

“You stand no chance against me, angel” Aurelia snorts feeling satisfied.

Audrey’s smile widens, “I’m not dead yet witch, don’t feel satisfied yet”

Aurelia felt so belittled by her and she hated it. Being the strongest witch who ever ever existed, Audrey was intentionally crushing on her pride.

Aurelia chants another spell, her eyes change to silver and her daggers glow. She turns to Audrey and mutters another chant.

Audrey found herself stuck to the ground unable to move. While she struggles to raise a leg, Aurelia moves fast and plunges the glowing daggers into Audrey’s chest.

At the instant, Audrey coughs out blood in a large quantity. She stares at Aurelia who has the never-place-with-a-pure- witch look on he face.

“Rot in hell, bitch” Aurelia roars and watch her cough out more blood.

She pulls out the knife, and the feeling of achievement rushes through her being as she silently watches her die

After a while of coughing and bleeding, Aurelia was waiting for her to fall and die but that time never came.

Instead, Audrey burst into a peel of mockery laughter. She raises her legs breaking the spell she cast as though it’s nothing.

All the bruises and wounds Aurelia inflicted on her close up and heal completely as if nothing was there. She wipes away the blood on her lips,

“Surprised?” She takes a step forward, Aurelia stumbles two steps backward in fear.

“H-how did you” Aurelia stutters unable to understand how she survived. She is sure she stabbed her straight in the heart.

“I did it so perfectly, didn’t I? You think you are smart ” Audrey chuckles. ” There’s no way I’ll let you kill me, a hundred years of you practicing will never be compared to my weak self now”

Audrey glanced at her chest, “thanks to you, you’ve made it so possible for me to access my powers to the max”

She stretches out her hand, and a fireball appears without her trying. It wasn’t small, it was as big as that she made to fight with Baston while she was trying to escape the room.

Aurelia braced up and gripped her daggers, “it doesn’t matter, I will end you here and now” she chanted a spell but before she knew it, she was thrown against the wall but Audrey never moved an inch

“Trying to get into my head? Nah, that’s no way possible, not anymore, witch” Audrey’s face now could kill in a single glare.

“You did that to me before, but not anymore. Do you know why? I will tell you,” she walks closer and crunch to the floor.

“I will be the one to work on your mind” She whispers.

“You dare not, I won’t let you” Aurelia roars, challenging her.

Audrey couldn’t help but smile evilly, “I dare you, witch… And to be clear, I don’t need your approval to do this” She stood up and went to where Baston was standing.

“Now, witch chant the spell and create me the portal” Audrey orders.

Aurelia tries so much to resist but it is way too powerful, she isn’t working on her mind but rather she is compelling her on what to do.

Aurelia chants the spell and not long after, a black vortex starts forming from the left side of the room a portal is made.

“You are such an obedient little witch” Audrey compliments, and turns to Baston, “Let’s go”

Aurelia felt defeated but was unwilling to give up. She can’t accept losing to Audrey, she is nothing compared to her

“The portal will disappear as soon as you enter and there won’t be a way out” Aurelia informs.

“Let that be ours to worry” Audrey shuts her up.

Baston forces himself to speak and this time, he can voice out himself. He coughs before sayingPublished by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Are we going to leave her like that?” He knows how the witch acts and her cunning nature. Had it been he knew, he would have warned Cannon to eliminate her from the start

“There’s no mercy for a killer” Audrey spoke out and glanced at Aurora on the floor. “Slit your throat” she commands.

Aurelia raises the dagger and places it against her throat, without thinking she slits it. Blood oozes out profusely, draining her dress to the floor.

“Wasn’t that too much?” Baston felt pity for the lady who killed herself like a chicken.

“Nothing is too much for a killer, ” Audrey turns and enters the dark vortex, “I paid her in her coins ”

Baston glances at the dead lady on the floor and then at Audrey, indeed, she has changed and it’s all for the better

Having no word to say, Baston gripped the book and was about to walk into the vortex when Audrey stopped him

“You can’t join me, this cross is mine to bear,” She told

Baston frowns, “It’s equally mine as well as it’s yours. He is your master/lover as well as he is my master” he points out.

Audrey flashes him a smile, “I wasn’t asking you, I was telling you” Before Baston could process anything, the black vortex vanished into thin air leaving him stranded and clueless about what to do.
