The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 151
Sabrina has been crying all day. She still wants to cry but her tears have already dried up, no more tears to cry.
She was wondering what time is it now? Day or night?
In this place, the sun does not rise and set. The temperature is still the same. The guardian is right, she never feels thirsty and hungry at all. Her body is not even urging her to visit a bathroom to urinate or defecate.
But her tears are real though, her face is wet every time she cries! Her artificial body looks like her original body. Maybe, the guardian was lying?
Anyways, what she wanted to do right now is to go back to the inn and continue where she left off. She still needs to find Rhett! She hasn’t visited Grandma Azere yet! And now she’s going to be imprisoned in this place in the next 50 years!
This is absolute madness!
She looked around her. “Guardian! Talk to me! I need to ask you something!” she shouted.
“Guardiannnnnnnnnnn!”
“Where are youuuuuuuuu?!”
“Please talk to me!” she shouted over and over again.
Suddenly a black-cloaked figure materialized in the corner.
“What do you want?” Dimitri asked.
“I’m willing to go with the training with open arms, but I need to visit some people first before I’ll stay here for fifty years!” Sabrina said directly, fearing that the guardian will leave all of a sudden before she can even finish what she wanted to say to him.
Dimitri looked at Sabrina. “Who are the people you want to visit?” he inquired.
“First, help me find Rhett. Second, I need to say goodbye to my Grandma Azere, Aunt Cornelia and Lady Helen… and lastly I want to see my friend Ivy the bird,” Sabrina stated.
“How about your friend Gustav? You have no desire to say goodbye to him?” Dimitri asked.
Sabrina pondered the question for a moment. Why does the guardian know about Gustav? Duh? He knows everything! A small voice whispered in her ears. She cleared her throat. “I only met him for a few days, he’s the last person on my list to say goodbye,” she answered.
Dimitri sighed. If Gustav will know Sabrina’s opinion about him he will be hurt. “Anything else?”
“That’s all! Please find Rhett for me! I will be forever grateful to you. As long I can see him again, my pain will be reduced significantly, please?” she said in a pleading tone.
Dimitri raised a brow. “Why do you still want to see the wolf? He already got another woman pregnant. You should leave him alone with that woman,” he expressed his opinion regarding the sensitive matter.
Sabrina looked at him sadly. “You don’t understand… Rhett didn’t go willingly with that woman! He was deceived by that shameless Priestess! His memories of me were wiped out. My beloved boyfriend will never betray me!” she reasoned with him.
“Okay fine. So what do you want to me do with the wolf after I find him?” Dimitri asked.
“Bring me to him. I want to see him for the last time with my own eyes. I will personally return him to his home so that he will be reunited with his family. I want all his memories restored!” Sabrina said.
“And what will you do with the Priestess?” Dimitri asked.
“I’ll decide her fate when I see her, face to face,” Sabrina replied calmly.
“Okay, I’ll be gone for a few days to find them all,” Dimitri said.
“Thank you in advance,” Sabrina said. “Ah, wait… before you go… can you bring me back to the inn? I will just wait there for you. Please?” she begged.
“No!” Dimitri replied firmly.
“B..but… I’m going crazy staying alone here! I have no one to talk to! This place looks so desolate. It’s suffocating me!” she complained.
“You can alter this place into anything you can imagine in your mind,” Dimitri said.
“What-?” Sabrina asked, raising a brow in confusion.
“Do you want a forest theme here? I’ll do it for you!” Dimitri said and waved his hand all around the area.
Behold…
Trees in all sizes, wild shrubs, grasses, plants suddenly sprang from the ground complete with earth and rocks beneath Sabrina’s feet.
A few minutes later, the desolate place was forever gone replaced by a mini forest complete with live birds chirping on the branches of the trees.
Sabrina was stunned, overwhelmed with shock.
The mind-blowing transformation of the whole place made her speechless.
Astounded to the core, she rushed to the trunk of the tree and run her hands on the surface, it felt so real… even if she knows that it was just an illusion. Living in this mini forest is better than the desolate area that she had seen first when she arrived here.
“If you want to change the scenery into a beach or a garden you can do so… just close your eyes and concentrate how you want the next transformation to be. This place will follow your command,” Dimitri said.
“Nice!” Sabrina gushes in amazement.
“I’ll take my leave now to find everyone in your list. While I’m away… free your mind and worries so that you will be mentally and emotionally ready in the incoming training,” Dimitri stated.
Sabrina nodded her head. Saying no to him won’t change anything, it’s clear to her now who calls the shot here. She is just a powerless human being chosen to be the next guardian of the medallion.
The medallion hanging on her neck is powerful enough to change her destiny forever.
It seemed that she has no say when it comes to her current situation.
Fifty years is a long time, but after she completed her training and the medallion will chose the next guardian she can finally free herself from this enforced responsibility.
In the meantime, she needs the guardian’s help to find Rhett for her. If she can’t have Rhett in this lifetime then she won’t allow that shameless woman to have him as well.
She will return Rhett to his family even if it means their love for each other will die with each passing day.
Fresh tears sprang from her eyes. She began sobbing hard, feeling grateful that she still has tears left to cry because she desperately needed to cry right now. The agony that she feels in her heart right now is so painful, only tears can wash away the pain.
Sabrina’s crying filled the entire mini-forest, yet the birds continue their chirping, hopping from branches to branches of the trees ignoring her situation.
No one cares about her pain and tears.
Because she is the only living soul in this strange place.
She feels so utterly alone, sad, and lonely. She only has her tears, keeping her company during her misery.
If only she had known that the guardian was planning to bring her here, she shouldn’t have wasted her time finding Rhett all over the town, instead, she could have made a quick visit to Grandma Azere, and bid goodbye to all the people she cares about.
She was upset that the guardian just whisked her away into this place without informing her in advance! She could have acted differently.
She lost her freedom of choice!
She was furious about this sudden turn of events!
But she also knows that even if she will bring this issue to the guardian, he won’t listen to her protest.
She can only hope that he will abide by her wishes, that’s the only consolation that she can hold on to right now. She doesn’t doubt the guardian’s ability even for a second. He is simply capable of doing impossible things. As long he can bring her to Rhett’s side and she is allowed to say goodbye to her friends, then no need to prolong the torture.
She will embrace her training and look forward to being the next guardian.
If this is her destiny… then so be it!
Done thinking about her dilemma, she closed her eyes and lay her body on the hard ground.
Dang! The ground is rough!
Remembering what the guardian have told her… she closed her eyes and envisioned a comfy pink bed with soft pillows to lie down.
A few minutes later, Sabrina felt something soft beneath her, and when she opened her eyes…
“OMG! I successfully summoned a pink bed just by imagining it! This is great!” she gushes in delight. She was now lying comfortably above a color pink fluffy bed.
She buried her face on the soft pillow and covered her body with the pink blanket. “They smell so nice!” she murmured to herself.
Grinning, she closed her eyes again and summoned a table laden with fruits in her mind.
A few minutes later, when she opened her eyes she was greeted with the sight of a table laden with fruits of all types, shapes, and colors.
“Amazing!” she raved, clapping her hands in glee.
The table was within reach next to the bed, Sabrina picked up an apple and took a big bite. “Wow! So sweet and crispy! I love it!” she said animatedly.
Lying in the comfy bed, she can’t stop eating the juicy apple.
She glanced at the table, there are more fruits to eat. “Awesome!” she roared in high spirits, she forgot her problem and worries momentarily.
She roamed her eyes around the mini-forest. The pink bed that she was enjoying right now showed a big contrast against its green backdrop. She shrugged… who cares?
She will sleep in this fluffy bed in the middle of the forest. No one will reprimand her.
These are the only liberties that she can enjoy in this magical yet strange place.
She was wondering in her mind what time is it now in the human world?
It is night or still daytime?
How long has she been here? A couple of days?
It will be nice if this place has a sun and moon that will mimic daylight and darkness.
An idea popped up in her mind.
Why not?
Maybe if she will ask for a moon and sun, it will be granted to her.
She immediately closed her eyes and imagined the sun and the moon as well the stars in the sky.
“Give me the sun, moon, and stars just like in the human world. Show me the exact time today!” she said aloud.
Done wishing and imagining…
She opened her eyes and was greeted with the glowing orange-colored sun about to set in the sky above. “OMG! The sun is about to set! So beautiful!” she murmured in amazement.
Sabrina stared at the fading sun.
When darkness finally enveloped the mini-forest signaling that evening is fast approaching. Sabrina quickly wish for a spacious pink room and her wish was granted.
A few hours later.
Sabrina sleeps soundly in her comfy bed inside the pink room.. All the inhabitants of the mini forest joined her in a deep sleep.
