Chapter 46 RESCUING THE ELDERS
“I’M GOING TO TAKE BACK ALL THAT YOU’VE TAKEN FROM ME!”Kendall roared as he brought out a pocket knife and stabbed it into Josephine’s eyes.
Josephine screamed in pain”Someone help me!”
Her scream was so loud that Ms Agatha and Carla could hear it from outside the door.
“That sounds like Josephine” Carla said.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Ms Agatha nodded her head “You are right”
“What can we do? The door still wouldn’t open”
Then an idea came to Agatha. “The secret passage”
“You are right. We can sneak in through it. Let’s go”
Inside the council room, Ruby finally regained consciousness.
“What happened?” She asked looking from Aiden to Clementine.
She yelped as she saw Kendall stabbing a knife into Josephine’s eyes.
The yelp made Kendall turn around and finally notice them hiding under the table.
Even with him being blind, he would never forget the aura they passed.
Kendall dropped Josephine to the ground as he made his way towards them.
Ruby shakingly backed away.
“I remember you” Kendall said as he approached them with his cane against the ground with his eyes fixated on Ruby.
“You were-”
“Father, stop” Laura said holding Kendall and stopping him in his tracks.
Her eyes moved to Josephine “We agreed to only hurt her and no one else”
Kendall placed his hands over Laura’s. “These people. They are all bad people, sweetie”
Laura furrowed her brow in confusion “What do you mean, father?”
“They all planned it with Josephine. To have your mother killed and put the blame on me”
Laura felt her heart sink to her stomach. “W-What? That doesn’t make any sense. W-Why would Ruby, Aiden and Clementine do that?” She stuttered.
What were they going to gain from her mother’s death?
Just then, Ms Agatha and Carla entered the council room via the secret passage and immediately the hairs on the back of Kendall’s head grew.
Kendall turned to face Agatha and Carla.
The main instigators of it all had just stepped in.
The main VIP’s who this blood bath was made for.
He was going to kill them all! Ever single one of them! .
With that in mind, he rushed towards Agatha with the sed of lightning.
Back in the passage, the girls saw that their powers weren’t healing the burns on Miriam, not one bit and all started to loose hope.
“Do you mind if I join in?”a voice said making them turn around to see Sarafina.
“If you all don’t want, I can just-”
“No, please stay”Rayne said.
“Yeah. With the 7 of us, I bet something might happen” Rayna interjected.
“Is that okay with you, Salando?” Sia asked meekly.
“Sure. Anything for Miriam”
Sarafina cut through the circle as she joined them and locked their arms.
They all closed their eyes as they muttered the spell together in unison.
They thought it was working this time until Miriam cried aloud.
Sarafina opened her eyes saw that the burns had almost covered Miriam’s enitire body.
“What the- how could Laura do this to you?” She said in awe.
“It wasn’t Laura who did this to me ”
Flora furrowed her brows in confusion. “Then who was it?”
Miriam shook her head. ” I don’t know and it was just by him passing by me that I got burnt.”
“Was his aura that strong?” Tracy asked.
Miriam nodded her head.
“That doesn’t make any sense.” Sarafina blurted out from her thought.
“Why do you say so?” Salando asked.
“Because whosoever it is has to be very powerful even more than lady Josephine herself and does such a person exist?”
“Well now we know one thing for sure”
“And what’s that?”
“That such a person DO exist”
“That’s impossible”Sarafina said shaking her head before turning to Miriam. “Where did they do?”
“The council room”
“I’ll be right back”Sarafina said making her way to the council room but she was stopped by Salando
“And where are you going?”
“To the council room. Ms. Agatha and Carla might be in danger”
“And they can take care of themselves. They told us to watch over Miriam for a reason”
“You are right”
“Of course I am”
Sarafina removed Salando ‘s hands from her. “They told the 6 of you to look after her not me”
With that said, Sarafina headed for the council room.
“Sarafina!” Salando called out as she ran after her.
Suddenly, Sia, Rayne, Rayna also took to their heels running after Salando.
Tracy looked at Flora. “Stay with Miriam, okay?”
“But-”
Before Flora could complete her sentence, Tracy had headed towards the rests direction.
Flora squatted down as she faced Miriam. “Are you okay?”
“Go, Flora. Ms Agatha and Carla might be in danger”
“But you-”
“I’ll be fine. I’ve held on for this long, haven’t I?”
Flora nodded her head as she headed for the council room too.
Miriam, all alone started breathing heavily and winced in pain as she felt the pain of the burns on her face heighten.
She felt sleepy suddenly. Her eye lid slowly started to close.
She would sleep for a little while. She thought. Everything would be better by the time she opens her eyes once more.
Meanwhile as Sarafina got to the council room, she turned the knob furiously but it didn’t budge.
“Sarafina!” Salando called out as soon as she reached her.
“See. I told you something was wrong. The door is locked. Is there any way to get inside?”
“No, there isn’t so let’s go and meet Miriam. She needs us”
“There really isn’t any way inside? Are you sure?” Sarafina looked from Salando to Rayna, Rayne, Sia and Tracy. “Ms Agatha and Carla could be in trouble for all we know!”
“A secret passage”Flora said meekly. “There’s a secret passage”
“Flora!” Salando scolded.
“What? She’s right. Ms Agatha and Carla might be in trouble”
Sarafina patted flora’s head. “Where is it?”
“I’ll take you, let’s go”
Sarafina nodded her head as Flora led the way.
Once the girl got into the council room via the secret passage, their eyes were widened as they saw a strange, blind man grabbing Ms Agatha by her neck.
What’s worse was that no one seemed to be stopping him .
“I told you they would be in danger. We have to do something” Sarafina said to Salando.
“What can we do?”
“Anything, goddamnit! We at least have to try”
