Immortality’s Love - Chapter 45

A vessel so pure

With a beauty uncompared But a soul so dark

And birthed in despair

Her sass stings

And her confidence kills

But without a choice, without a voice

She does the devil’s will

Her blood-red lipstick

Averts the eyes

From the evil within

The beads on her neck

Are a memory of the past

When her vessel lived

Before her vessel passed

Abaddon the great

Has a story to tell

Of her eternal torment and solitute

In the dark pits of hell

– Unknown –

All of them stand on their feet when they saw that Morgan and Taylor were sent to the ground.

“Oh no, this is not good, She’s beginning to shift.” Amber said. “Cover them!” Drake shouted and each and everyone of them dashed on the two men’s side. Drake approached Katherine.

“What’s happening to her?” Morgan asked. “Because you’ve angered her, either she will break your bones or crush your heart.” Athan said making Morgan gulped. “We experience the breaking of the bones. Her last two victims were already dead because they lost their hearts on the spot.” Amber said making Taylor’s eyes went wide. “But don’t worry, her calming pill is there. Let’s just hope he will be succesful because if not…you know what will happen.” Dawn said. The rest of the guys wanted to laugh because Morgan’s and Taylor’s faces lost its colors.

“Baby, are you alright?” Drake asked. “I’m…trying…” Katherine said. “Okay, just relax. Remember, they’re Uncle Orpheus’ and Uncle Raul’s sons.” Drake said. “Yeah, I know…” Katherine said. Drake saw how hard Katherine is trying not to transform fully because if that happens he knew the two men will be hurt badly. Katherine’s wounds are beginning to heal. “You’re doing great, baby.” Drake said but he was shocked when Katherine looked at him with her fangs protruding and her eyes were both golden silver in color. “Am I?” Katherine asked. “No…” Katherine laughed hearing Drake’s answer. “Should I tell them to get lost?” Drake asked. “No, I think I can manage.” Katherine said then tried to stand, Drake holding her.

Morgan and Taylor stepped back when Katherine looked at them but they can’t take away their eyes from her.

“She’s beautiful…” Morgan said. “She’s amazing…” Taylor said. “You’re dying and yet you’re admiring her?” Blade said. “What!?” Morgan and Taylor spoke at once. When Katherine started to walk towards them, the two men wanted to run but they can’t move as if they were glued to the ground. No words came out from their mouths eventhough they wanted to ask for help.

The rest looked at Drake with worried faces but he gave them a nod telling them that she’s in her right mind.

When Katherine is already infront of the two men, they kneeled. “We’re sorry, we’re only following what the Elder have said.” Morgan said making Katherine looked at her grandfather. She raised her brows when Serafino pointed Gregory. She squinted her eyes looking at Gregory but the man only gave her a peace sign. Katherine rolled her eyes because she knew that there was a conspiracy between the leaders of the clans and Gregory but she’s thankful because they only did it for her.

“Stand up.” Katherine ordered and the two men hurriedly stood up. “Thank you.” Katherine said making the two furrowed their foreheads. “I’ve been able to overcome my anger because of you and of course because of him.” Katherine said looking at Drake. “I was really having difficulty in controlling my emotions but having a fight with you both did help me a lot.” Katherine said. “It’s our pleasure.” Taylor said. “If you want, we can continue this, without any tricks now.” Morgan said smiling. “Maybe some other time, I feel…” Katherine wasn’t able to finish her sentence because she lost her consciousness.

“Not again.” Thana said seeing Katherine on Drake’s arms sleeping like a baby. “She must have use all her strength to control herself.” Kieran said. “Yeah, she’s been doing everything lately just to make sure that she will be ready for Luther.” Amber said. “I think we better let her rest. For the rest of you, continue training. Just like her, we should be ready for them.” Drake said and everyone nodded including Morgan, Taylor, and Gregory.

Drake carried Katherine up to her room. He carefully laid her on her bed and covered her with a blanket. Before Drake left her to join the others for the training, he kissed her forehead.

“Katherine…Katherine…”

Hearing a soft voice made Katherine moved from her deep slumber. She stood up from bed and went outside her room. Walked towards the main door and walked through the woods. No one notice her because everyone is busy doing their stuffs.

“Katherine…Katherine…”

Katherine followed the soft voice until she reached the end of the forest.

Travis triumphantly smiled when he saw Katherine was approaching him without any hesitation. He looked at the witch beside him and gave her a nod that it’s already done. When Katherine was infront of Travis, her body started to fall but the man was fast to catch her. Carrying her, Travis gave her one last look with admiration in his eyes before leaving the place. “Luther will be very happy to see you, Milady.” Travis said then vanished into thin air together with the witch and his men.
