The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 150

The whole place was located in some kind of vast emptiness, and the ground below Sabrina’s feet is like frozen snow, yet the place is not cold.

No signs of trees, plants, flowers, mountains, or anything.

No one is in sight!

It’s just a plain wide area, everywhere she looks around her is a void of emptiness. No doors or windows or anything. It’s a scary place to be in!

She didn’t wait any longer, the one responsible for her current situation and the sudden change of her location appeared in front of him.

It’s the guy in a cloak, it’s no other than the guardian of the medallion!

“You finally showed yourself! I’ve been asking for your help so many times and yet you turned deaf ears to all my pleas… and now you brought me into this strange place! What do you want?” Sabrina asked indignantly.

Dimitri sighed. “I’m here to inform you that you will stay in this place for the duration of fifty years. This place will become your training ground to become the next guardian of the medallion,” he said casually, completely ignoring her outburst.

“WHAAAAAAT!?” Sabrina’s eyes widened in shock. Expressions of utter surprise and disbelief were plastered on her face. “W-what did you say? Are you kidding me?”

“Yes, my dear. The medallion on your neck chose you to be the next guardian of the medallion for the next 100 years. The medallion can grant you unlimited power and above all immortality. You will continue to live for eternity as one of the chosen elite guardians of the medallion, so consider yourself lucky,” Dimitri said casually.

“Whaaat are you talking about?” Sabrina glared at him. “Take me back to the inn! I don’t like this place! I don’t want to be the guardian of the medallion! I don’t want to undergo 50 years of training in this place! I don’t want to be an immortal! I just want a simple life with the one I love! You have no right to bring me to this place without my permission, it’s against my will!” she shouted vehemently.

Dimitri took a deep breath. As expected, Sabrina is not happy with her current situation. But sooner or later she will accept her fate… just like him and all the reluctant guardians before them.

“Take your time digesting everything. I’ll come back some other time,” Dimitri said about to disappear from the place.

“Wait… what I’m going to do in this place? What if I’m going hungry or thirsty? What if I need to use the bathroom?” Sabrina asked, trying to reason with the guardian.

“Don’t worry about such trivial matters. If you are in this kind of place, you won’t feel any kind of hunger or thirst, no need to go to the bathroom either. It’s only your soul that is here with your fake body but your human body is safe and unconscious in another place. Don’t worry your human body is well protected and you can reclaim your body back after you completed your training, fifty years later,” Dimitri elaborated further.

“Whaaaaat?” Sabrina was shocked to know that right now she is only a soul and her human body was hidden somewhere. The revelation stunned her to the very core. It feels like she’s in some kind of a nightmare.

The guardian vanished from her eyes instantly.

This is all just a dream! And after she wakes up tomorrow, she will be sleeping on the bed in the inn.

She lay her body down on the ground and closed her eyes, no longer thinking about what the guardian have told her earlier.

This is just a dream!

A nightmare!

When she wakes up tomorrow, everything will return to normal.

Gradually, she feels her mind and body relaxing, and finally, she drifted into a deep slumber.

Sabrina sleeps for hours and hours in self-denial.

…

~Diamond Village Inn~

Gustav waited for Sabrina to leave her room. The window of her room was closed.

He was tempted to enter her room but went against it at the last minute.

He can sense that something is wrong with her today!

Sabrina always opened her window the moment she wakes up in the morning until evening.

Anyways, there’s no need to be alarmed. He will just return to his place and come back here tomorrow morning.

Before he leave the vicinity of the inn, he hovered in the air in his invisible form and landed on the rooftop hoping to see his friend Dimitri, but he didn’t see his presence there on the rooftop.

Where could he be at this time?

Anyways, time to go home.

Gustav vanished from the rooftop.

…

The following day.

Gustav returned to the inn and the situation is still the same. The window of Sabrina’s room was still shut.

He’s getting worried. Where is she?

Did something bad happen to her?

He highly doubts it. Dimitri won’t allow anything bad to happen to Sabrina, he’s 100% sure about that!

But something is wrong… he can feel it now.

He needs to do something!

He quickly entered Sabrina’s room in his invisible form, passing through the window at lightning speed.

After successfully entering the room, he noticed that the bed was empty!

Where is Sabrina!?

He rushed outside in the hallway and began checking the rooms to find Sabrina, still no signs of her everywhere! He continue searching on the second floor including the ground floor, he went to the restaurant, she’s not there!

He left the inn and searched for Sabrina all over the town. He can smell her scent if she is nearby, that’s why it’s easy to find her as long she’s still in town.

After a few hours of going back and forth around the town, he still can’t find her!

Did Sabrina already leave town?

He zoomed back towards the direction of the inn.

A few minutes later, he was already back inside Sabrina’s room. He quickly checked the cabinet and discovered that all her clothes and stuff were still inside the room.

But where is she!?

How can she just vanish without a trace?

Then slowly it dawned on him…

Oh no…!

C-could it be that… that… Dimitri already bring Sabrina to the secret training ground?

Shiit!

The hell! The thing that he feared the most is already happening!

It’s 100% possible!

Oh, no! This can’t be!

He didn’t even have a chance to say goodbye to Sabrina!

Where is his friend Dimitri! He needs to talk to him!

Maybe he can still persuade him to bring back Sabrina to the inn!

He wants to try to reason with him on behalf of Sabrina. He exited the room and quickly rose in the air, landing on the rooftop.

Dimitri is still not in the vicinity of the inn!

He will wait for his presence till the beak of dawn!

At this very minute, he’s dying to know where is Sabrina!

The last time they talked, Dimitri didn’t even give him a hint that he will bring Sabrina to the secret training ground today! How come it ended this way?

He thought that Dimitri approved his friendship with Sabrina?

Or Dimitri was afraid that he will kidnap Sabrina and hide her somewhere that he will have difficulty finding?

That’s it!

That could be the reason for the sudden turn of events.

Damn!

If Sabrina was no longer residing in this inn, then Dimitri would no longer return to this place. What’s the point of coming here?

Dimitri is done staying in this place because Sabrina is no longer her!

‘It’s the end!’ he thought sadly.

Now he will have to wait for fifty years before he can see Sabrina again.

Ouch! His heart was broken again, so sad.

…

Back in the training ground.

Sabrina has just woken up, she rubbed her eyes, recalling the conversation that she had with the guardian of the medallion earlier. She roamed her eyes around her surroundings… his eyes widened in alarm…

Oh, no!

Oh, my God!

She’s still in the same desolate-looking place!

Slowly… reality dawned on her that she might not be able to leave this place in the next fifty years! Her heart was aching badly… no!

This can’t be! She hadn’t found his beloved Rhett yet!

She can’t accept this! She needs to get out of this place!

She will go crazy if she can’t return to the inn!

She looked around the area searching for the guardian, where is he!?

She needs to beg him to return her to the inn! She still has a lot of things to do! She still needs to find Rhett and visit Grandma Azere! She still needs to say goodbye to Lady Helen and Aunt Cornelia.

She has to return to the inn!

“Guardian! Where are you? Please talk to me!” she shouted. Her loud voice echoed around the area, she was expecting the guardian to show up, instead, she was greeted with a suffocating silence.

She feared that the guardian already deserted her, but she remembered that she will undergo fifty years of training, which means, he might still be around to talk to her and hear her pleas.

She needs to convince him to take her out of this place!

She’s not ready for the training yet!

“Guardian, talk to me! Don’t be like this! Please don’t leave me alone here! I need to go back to the inn! I still need to find my beloved Rhett! Get me out of here!” she shouted louder, hoping that the guardian can hear her pleas.

She kept repeating the same thing over and over again until her voice went horse due to so much shouting.

When she can no longer shout, her tears start streaming on her face because of helplessness.

She cried and cried until she no longer have tears to cry.

Meanwhile…

In the corner, Dimitri was listening all along to Sabrina’s shouting and crying in his invisible form.

He sighed softly, Sabrina’s situation right now is the same as what happened to him in the past when the previous guardian of the medallion kidnapped him and put him in this training ground because of the stupid reason that he was the chosen one by the medallion.

Everything that happened to him in the past doesn’t make sense… but gradually he starts liking the thoughts of having infinite power and the chance to be granted immortality. Those fantastic possibilities convinced him to embrace the training with open arms and be the best guardian that he can be.

He has had no regret ever since.

After Sabrina becomes a bonafide guardian of the medallion, he can finally obtain his complete freedom and live his life according to his will.
