There!
I saw the flash of movement, but Rayhan was already on it. I whispered another spell, surrounding him with a protective barrier as I spun around, raising my hand just in time to stop Elinai’s attack on me. So, both were lying in wait. She stepped out of the shadows, looking at me with contempt.
I didn’t even have anything to say to her. She was someone whom I could never forgive. Or someone that you could ever talk reason to.
“Allow me to send you to Samson,” I whispered coldly.
“Not happening!” she hissed, raising her hand and sending a blast of air at me. I pushed it aside, sending ball after ball of fire at her while whispering a spell at the same time. Before I could even cast it, the entire building shook violently, knocking me off my feet.
“Rayhan!” I shouted, seeing the gaping hole in the ground where he and Eldridge had fallen through. I rolled over, climbing to my feet, ignoring the blood that covered my knees.
“Not so fast!” Elinai hissed.
I blasted her back, whispering a spell that Endora had loved. I guess one thing that woman had taught me were spells that could kill. Before Elinai’s spell could even touch me, several shards of glass from the window behind her were embedded into her body. Her eyes widened in shock before she crumbled to the ground. I walked towards her, plunging my hand into her chest. I was about to rip her heart out, but a sudden tremor threw me back.
“Delsanra!” Rayhan’s voice shouted.
“I’m okay!” I shouted, grabbing onto the stair bannister as I climbed to my feet, rushing towards Elinai. I blasted her spells away as she struggled to get up.
“Delsanra…” she warned.
“May you rot in hell,” I whispered, ripping her heart from her chest without even a second thought and destroying it completely with my fire. I was not going to risk her coming back.
I ran to the edge where Rayhan had fallen, only to see that it was a blood bath. The enemy wolves were healing incredibly fast and kept on returning with full power. Our side was looking far worse…
“It’s magic!” I said, jumping down, ready to land, only for Rayhan to catch me. He smirked when I yelped, not expecting it. Even with blood and dirt on his face, he still looked handsome.
“It’s magic?” he asked, kissing me quickly. I could hear his racing heart and kissed his chest softly.
“Yes, it’s an old spell. They’ve linked them to others, could be anyone or anything, as long as that source lives they live.”
“We find the other sources?”
“No. I can break the link because it could be innocent humans or even animals,” I replied, brushing my hair off my face. “I just need a bit of time to perform the spell. What happened to Eldridge?”
“I destroyed her heart. There’s no chance that they have the same spell to revive?”
“No, they are witches; if you destroyed the heart, she’s gone.” I said, “Elinai is dead too.” He nodded.
“I’ll keep everyone away,” he said as three wolves ran at us.
“Any sign of Reginald?” I asked, trying to clear my head.
“No,” Rayhan replied, shifting back into a wolf.
I looked around. The spell on the building was becoming darker. I could feel the shuddering darkness that was beginning to weigh down upon the air. What was it?
I closed my eyes, ready to do the spell to deal with the wolves, when someone stepped up next to me.
“Tell me the spell,” Raihana’s voice came. My eyes flew open, and I smiled, seeing the fire in her eyes.
“You’re okay.”
“Yes…” she said, with a sad smile. “Del, the spell on the building is mutating, isn’t it? I’ll deal with the wolves, you handle that one.”
I frowned, looking up only to realise she wasn’t wrong. The darkness that was beginning to crawl up the wall like live, pulsing tentacles made my heart thud. What was that spell?
“Okay,” I agreed. Turning, I grabbed her hands and repeated the spell to her. She was a fast learner, and right then, I couldn’t be gladder. She nodded, repeating the spell.
