The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 138

The magic carpet landed on the floor of Sabrina’s room in the Portwell Mansion.

After Sabrina stepped out of the carpet it vanished from the room in split seconds.

Ivy and Sabrina went to bed, to discuss what happened earlier in the Priestess’s territory.

“What happened to you back there in the mansion?” Sabrina asked.

“That shameless woman is very tricky! She trapped me inside her room in a golden cage. The golden cage has the capability to suppress my powers and all I did is shamed her every chance I got,” Ivy said.

“Holy Moly, you’re so brave!” Sabrina commented.

“Well, I have nothing to fear…” Ivy spoke.

“Did you see Rhett beside that woman?” Sabrina asked.

“No. The wolf is not there in the room. I wonder where that shameless woman hide your boyfriend?” Ivy said in bewilderment. “Maybe she hide Rhett somewhere in that huge mansion,” Sabrina took a wild guess.

“I thought that he was in the room because I can smell his strong scent in there but I was wrong, he wasn’t there… It turns out that it’s the Priestess’s room and she trapped me inside the golden cage! Good thing the guardian of the medallion rescued me!” Ivy continues blabbering.

Sabrina fell silent for a moment. Oh, no! Due to severe worrying about Ivy’s safety, she forgot to instruct the guardian to find Rhett inside the mansion, crap!

So stupid of her!

She knows very well that it’s very hard to get the guardian out of his shell! It’s one golden opportunity to save both Ivy and Rhett in one go but she wasted it!

Grrrr!

So stupid of her!

Why she didn’t think about it earlier!?

Ugh, forget it! It’s over now.

There’s nothing she can do to bring back the wasted time and opportunity.

But no worries, there’s still tomorrow. She’s confident that the next opportunity will appear again – rescuing Rhett will always be her top priority.

And another thing, she hated her ‘Amber’ self because that stupid girl decided recklessly to send Rhett back to that Priestess! But then she can’t blame her, she has no memories of Rhett therefore she doesn’t know that Rhett is very valuable to her.

Sighing, she looked at Ivy. “Thanks for helping me, let’s call it a night and resume tomorrow. You can sleep here in my room if you want…” she offered.

“No. I must go home tonight or else my brother will get worried sick if I can’t go home tonight,” Ivy refused her offer.

“Okay, night night!” Sabrina said.

“Bye!” Ivy bid goodbye to her friend and fly towards the window.

Sabrina watched Ivy disappear into the night. She rose to her feet and closed the window. She turned off the light and went back to bed to rest for the night.

She stared into the darkness of her room, recalling the nerve-wracking experience she faced earlier surrounded by those mysterious lights and those powerful women.

She realized one important thing during the chaos, she was surrounded by powerful people, and she was the only one with no power that she can use to protect herself, she is heavily dependent on Ivy and the guardian to protect her and do her bidding.

It must be cool to have her power so that she no longer have to depend on someone else for protection.

Too bad, she’s just a normal human being, not born special just like Ivy and those women who are trying to attack her.

She was puzzled why the medallion chose someone as useless as her?

It could have chosen anyone with inborn powers so that it’s easier for them to use the medallion to its full potential.

Speaking of the medallion and the guardian, between the three of them, what is her purpose in the trilogy?

Was she meant to be just the carrier of the medallion or she will play a bigger role later?

The problem with the guardian of the medallion, he is elusive and only comes out if she’s in danger. She had a feeling that the guardian is not a chatty person, he is a withdrawn guy.

She was also wondering where he is living? Inside her body or her mind? Or the guardian has his own space which he calls home? She longed to have some answers to those questions that are bothering her mind so that she will have a chance to know the guardian on a much deeper level.

She wants to ask him what is her role in the medallion’s existence. Was she the keeper of the medallion for life or it will find another host if it gets tired of her?

She released a deep sigh.

She opened her mouth to speak, “Guardian, I know you can hear my thoughts and my words right now, can you please talk to me? There are a lot of things you need to explain to me about your existence and the medallion! I think it’s about time that you and I will have a serious conversation about the three of us! Don’t keep me hanging in the dark wondering about your existence and the medallion! You have no idea how hard it is for me to cope with all these mysterious happenings in my life right now! Please have mercy on me or else I’m going crazy if this will go on for a long time and I have no clear explanation from you!” she pleaded.

She waited for the guardian’s response…

Hopefully, he will pity her and talk to her tonight before she goes to sleep.

So many mysterious things happened in her life currently and she needs clear answers to why do these things happen to her? Of all people why did the medallion choose her?

She waited for one hour, as usual, the guardian ignored her.

She waited until it was already midnight, then her body finally succumbed to a night of deep sleep.

…

Across the miles at Hillsraine Grove.

Leera was in the basement, lying wide awake on the bed beside the sleeping Rhett.

It’s already midnight yet she can’t sleep. She was worried about what happened earlier – that mysterious guy in a black cloak freeze everyone in the mansion including her and rescued the bird from her room effortlessly.

Thankfully he didn’t rescue Rhett!

Did Sabrina forget to instruct that guy to rescue Rhett or maybe she had forgotten!

Good for her! Sabrina’s failure is her gain!

She has enough time to relocate and hide Rhett somewhere!

She was contemplating relocating Rhett to the forest in Doriaas place just to avoid that powerful guy in a cloak who managed to freeze her. She was confused about the identity of the guy, who is he? Why does Sabrina suddenly gain a powerful companion with his caliber?

She finally realized that she was facing a formidable foe and she might get defeated sooner or later, and ultimately lost Rhett to Sabrina in the end if that mighty guy will pursue her.

Tomorrow morning before the break of dawn, she will teleport Rhett back to Doriaas place. She will stay there for the time being until she can find a good place to stay permanently and hide Rhett forever from Sabrina’s reach.

She began yawning, finally, sleepiness claimed her consciousnesses, she drifted into a deep sleep past midnight.

Hours went by.

At 4:30 in the morning, before the break of dawn…

Leera left Rhett’s side and went upstairs to have a conversation with Dolores in her room.

“What’s the problem, Priestess?” Dolores asked after noticing the deep worry etched on the Priestess’s face.

“I have a big problem. Sooner or later, Sabrina and that mysterious guy will return here, and to avoid putting everyone in danger, my husband and I will leave this place for everyone’s safety. From now on, you will be the one in charge of this place. Keep it going for me,” Leera said.

“B-but where are you going, Priestess?” Dolores asked in utter surprise.

“To a place where no one knows. It’s better that I won’t tell you so that they won’t kill you and the others. Just in case they will read your mind, they won’t be able to get any information from you about my whereabouts. Just tell them that I didn’t tell you where I’m going…” Leera explained.

“Can you give me a hint of this place?” Dolores insisted.

“No, but it will be far away from here. I might not be able to come back for a long time. So, please take care of this property and keep our sisters safe all the time. Keep this place intact on my behalf. You’re the only one I can trust with such huge responsibility. I’m counting on you, please don’t disappoint me,” Leera said gloomily.

She doesn’t want to leave everyone behind but it’s the price that she has to pay for loving Rhett.

“I will keep this place going, I promised you that, Priestess!” Dolores made an oath.

“Good! I’m finally at peace when I leave this place today, knowing that I leave everyone and everything in your care because you are someone that I can truly depend on. Don’t worry, if I have an opportunity, I’ll visit you here once in a while. Importantly, guard the vault well where our fortune was kept, it will be the source of our livelihood for a long time,” Leera gave her last-minute instruction to her devoted follower.

“I will obey everything you say, Priestess! Don’t worry about the gold I’ll keep it safe,” Dolores assured her.

“Alright, I’m going back to my room to pack my things and get ready for our departure,” Leera said.

“I’ll help you, Priestess!” Dolores offered.

“Thank you,” Leera responded and proceed to her room.

After the women finished packing, Leera finally bid goodbye to Dolores with tears in her eyes.

“Take care of everyone while I’m away,” Leera said.

“I will, Priestess!” Dolores replied solemnly and picked up the bags, she followed Leera to the basement.

The women reached the room in the basement, Dolores waited in the doorway.

“I’ll bring my husband to my destination first then I’ll return here for my things,” Leera said.

“Okay, I’ll stay here and wait for your return,” Dolores replied.

Leera went to bed and placed her hands on Rhett’s arms lovingly, then she initiated the teleportation process in her mind, a moment later they disappeared from the room.

Dolores looked at the empty room with sadness flashing in her eyes. Before when the wolf hasn’t come into the Priestess’s life, everything is peaceful.

Now… the Priestess is willing to leave everything behind just to keep the wolf by her side.

She was shaking her head in disbelief.

Tsk! Tsk! People in love are prone to do crazy things in the name of love. That’s why she would never allow herself to fall in love with a guy. Love can make anyone dumb, obsessive, and stupid!

A few moments later.

Leera reappeared in the room. She looked at her most trusted and devoted follower one last time. “Take care of yourself and the others,” she said sadly and grabbed her bags.

“Bye, Priestess! Take care of yourself too!” Dolores replied distraughtly, holding back the tears from falling on her face.

Leera nods her head and vanished from the room.

Dolores closed the door and left the basement to perform her morning routine around the property.
