The Beauty And The Wolf - Chapter 175

The following day.

After they finished eating breakfast, the couple began packing their things, getting ready for their journey to the Golden Peak Valley.

They planned to leave the hut and start their journey after eating lunch.

One hour later, they finished packing their things in two bags.

Sabrina looked around the room, nothing was left behind. She lowered herself on the bed and looked at Rhett and said, “I’m feeling thirsty…”

“I’ll get you a glass of water,” Rhett offered.

“Yes, please…” Sabrina said.

Rhett left the room.

Dimitri suddenly appeared in the middle of the room. “Are you ready?” he asked.

“Yes!” Sabrina replied with a nod of her head. “If I said, do it! Then that is the time to put Rhett into sleep,” she said.

“Noted,” Dimitri spoke and vanished from the room.

A moment later, Rhett returned to the room, handing the glass of water to his ladylove. “Here’s your water,” he said.

“Thank you,” Sabrina said and gulped the water in one go. Done, she put the empty glass on the table, then she looked at Rhett. “My love, please sit down beside me. I have something important to tell you…” she said in a serious manner.

Rhett obeyed and sat beside her. “What is it?” he asked, raising a brow.

Sabrina released a deep sigh and cleared her throat. She finds it hard to tell him everything. Where should she start? She was lost in the darkness of her own misery, her heart felt heavy like a ton of bricks. She cleared her throat. “Um… the truth is… I can’t stay in the Golden Peak Valley with you…” she said sadly.

Rhett’s eyes widened in surprise. A deep frown appeared on his face. “B-but why?”

“I’m the chosen one. I’m going to be the next guardian of the medallion. I’ll undergo training for fifty years in sacred ground,” she revealed, straight to the point.

Rhett’s brows knitted together in confusion. “W-what are you talking about? What medallion? You are the next Guardian? You are going to train for fifty years in the sacred ground? What’s going on? I’m confused!” he said exasperatedly.

Fresh tears sprang from Sabrina’s eyes. “Yes, that is the truth. I know that it’s confusing to you. It’s a long story and if I have to explain everything to you, you will only get a bad headache. I’m sorry, I can’t be with you for a long time…” she said in a distraught voice.

Rhett was trying to understand if Sabrina was just playing a cruel prank on him. But the sadness in her eyes tells him that she is telling the truth. “I still don’t get it! Please don’t play a joke on me. It’s not fun anymore!” he protested.

“I’m telling you the truth! I want you to forget me and find someone who can love you more than I do and raise a family with her. No need to wait for me. Fifty years is a long time, don’t waste your life waiting for me. I want you to live a good and happy life with somebody else…” she said with a heavy heart.

Sabrina was choking on her words. Telling Rhett to find somebody else to love is painful for her. But it would be unfair for him if she told him to wait for her return, he will be an old man by then, and he would miss the opportunity to love another woman and raise a family with her.

Rhett was shaking his head, refusing to believe that everything she told him today is true. “My love, let’s not talk about these things. You are just imagining these nonsense things in your hyperactive mind!” he said in denial.

Sabrina took a deep breath, then she hugged Rhett tightly. “Always remember, I love you so much! Please take care of yourself. I’m going to miss you terribly,” she said and kissed his lips fervently.

Time to let go!

She reluctantly separated her body from him. “Do it now!” she ordered.

Dimitri appeared behind Rhett and froze him, then he put him in a deep sleep.

Sabrina wiped the tears from her face with the hem of her blouse, then she rose to her feet and grabbed the bags in the corner. She looked at the guardian. “I’m ready,” she said woefully.

“Okay, let’s go!” Dimitri replied. He waved his hand and the three of them vanished from the hut in the blink of an eye.

A few minutes later.

They appeared in the doorway of Rhett’s family home. The people there are already frozen in time.

They entered the door.

Dimitri settled Rhett’s body on the sofa.

Sabrina lowered the two bags on the floor.

Dimitri looked at the distraught Sabrina. “I’ll give you a few minutes to say goodbye to the wolf. I’ll wait outside…” he said and exited the door.

Fresh tears rolled on Sabrina’s face, her heart was breaking inside. She hugged Rhett’s body lovingly and kissed his lips for the last time. “Goodbye, my love! See you after fifty years. I hope you’re still alive during that time,” she said in agony.

Nothing to say anymore, she walked away, going to the door.

She stood in the doorway. “I’m ready to go. Take me to Laswich Mountain,” she ordered calmly.

“Okay,” the guardian replied. He made Sabrina invisible just like him and unfrozen everyone in the house.

A few moments later, Sabrina and Dimitri vanished from the area.

They appeared in the Laswich Mountain and landed outside the house.

Olga was sweeping the dried leaves on the ground during that time and saw Sabrina standing a few meters away in a state of daze. She rushed to her side. “My dear, what happened to you…?”

Sabrina looked at Olga and started crying. “Aunt, the guardian and I already deposited Rhett back to his home in the Golden Peak Valley. My heart is aching so bad right now, I think I’m going to die,” she said between sobs.

Olga sighed deeply and rubbed the distraught girl’s back to console her. “Poor child. Let’s go inside,” she said and steered the girl towards the door.

They went inside the house.

Olga brought Sabrina to the living room. ” Have a seat…” she said. “I’ll get you a glass of water from the kitchen,” she said and went to the kitchen.

The door to Azere’s room opened. She was surprised to see Sabrina sitting on the chair, crying her heart out. She rushed to her side. “Child, what happened to you? Why are you crying?” she asked worriedly.

Sabrina cried harder, she can’t talk because the pain is tearing her apart inside.

Olga returned from the kitchen and handed the glass to Sabrina. “Dear, please drink the water, it will make you feel a lot better,” she said.

Sabrina was still sobbing hard.

Azere accepted the glass and put it on the center table. She looked at Olga. “Why is she crying?” she inquired.

Olga sighed. “I found her outside in a state of a daze while I’m sweeping the ground. She told me that she and the guardian already brought Rhett back to his family’s home in the Golden Peak Village, which means, the couple got separated already. I think Sabrina is currently experiencing the pain of separation right now that is why she was crying her heart out,” she explained.

“Ah, I see…” Azere finally understands why Sabrina was behaving like she just lost someone dear to her.

“Let’s bring her to your room so that she can rest there,” Olga suggested.

“Good idea!” Azere said and looked at the wretched girl. “Child, let’s go to my room so that you can rest there,” she suggested.

Sabrina nodded her head and stood up.

The women walked towards Azere’s room.

Olga picked up the glass and followed them inside the room. She put the glass of water on the side table and left the room quietly.

Back in the room.

Azere was rubbing Sabrina’s back gently on the bed, comforting her with silence. She allowed the girl to cry as much as she wants so that the pain would go away quickly and the numbness would take over.

She no longer asks questions because she already knows why Sabrina is undergoing an emotional breakdown right now. Being separated from someone you love so much is indeed painful.

One hour later.

Sabrina finally stopped crying.

“Drink the water, child,” Azere ordered.

Sabrina obeyed and drank the water in one go, then she put the empty glass on the side table and lay her body down on the bed.

Azere stood up and covered Sabrina’s body with the blanket. “Rest well. I’ll talk to you later after you have your rest,” she said. “If you need anything, just call my name, I’m just outside,” she added.

Sabrina nodded her head. “Thank you, Grandma,” she responded softly and closed her eyes to sleep, shutting the pain away from her mind.

Azere stared at Sabrina for a few minutes, shaking her head sadly. She walked towards the door and exited.

Outside, Olga was already waiting for her. “How is she?” she asked.

Azere sighed. “Not good. Emotionally she was a wreck right now, but eventually she will recover and overcome the pain somehow. All the pain that she suffered today shall pass away soon,” she said in an optimistic voice.

“Okay. Let’s allow her to rest. I’ll go back outside to continue my chore,” Olga said and left the living room.

Azere lowered herself on the sofa, feeling sad about the couple’s misfortune.

How unfortunate that Sabrina and Rett’s love story had come to a painful separation.

Hmm…

Maybe – something can be done about it?

She will try to talk to the guardian, maybe he and the medallion will release Sabrina if she will plead harder on their behalf.. She hoped that they would listen to her appeal on behalf of the unfortunate couple.
