The Black Mist Enchantress - Chapter 120

The trio reached the manor and went straight to the business as they had no time to waste. Alex and Juliet went to the beachside whereas Emmy stood on the balcony first to make sure Alex went away with Juliet.

” I am sorry Alex, this time I have to do it alone.”

Emmy walked towards the basement but as she approached the place, her head started to pain. This time the pain was unbearable and Emmy had to clench her fists tight to open her eyes. Her nails dug deep into her arms and this pain inflicted made the other one balanced.

Emmy entered the basement and the pain was now bearable. She scanned the surroundings. Last time, it was her friends who looked throughout this small room while she went away with master Rotrigues to retrieve her memories.

” I want to know what happened here that day. Speak up, I am sure that you know what took place on that dreadful day. ”

Emmy closed her eyes to let hear that voice inside her mind but she didn’t hear anything even if it was pin-drop silence inside the room. Emmy was losing her patience as she had reached a dead end by now, there were so many leading clues in front of her but all of them led to a single path – recover her memory.

The three elders of the great Esbertrazian clan tried to find a remedy for her memory loss but they couldn’t. Miandrake had even asked his favourite disciple to come back from her honeymoon days to do research over this.

As the pain started to become unbearable again, Emmy left the basement and came back to her room. She felt as if that tormenting ache was getting reduced as she left that place. It was like something was stopping her from going to the basement and this made Emmy more curious as well as helpless. The more she wanted to know, the more restless she was becoming.

Emmy opened the windows of her room which showed the never-ending sea. She stared at the blue waters as her mind was in turmoil now.

” Dada, please show me a way.”

Emmy’s eyes were glistening from tears but she stubbornly held it up. All she wanted was to avenge her parents and then live a blissful life with the man she loves. Emmy closed her eyes and let the cool breeze relax her body.

Meanwhile, Juliet and Alex were searching for any hidden caverns along the beachside rocks. The beach rocks were deep black in colour, hard and had no signs of coastal erosion was seen in this area. Finally, they arrived at a spot where Juliet felt something was wrong with the waters. This area was unusually deep and the currents were really strong along the side.

Juliet walked over to the edge and used her power to check whether anything suspicious was there under the water but she could detect anything after a few feets below. After that it was blank, she couldn’t find the ocean bed. Seeing her perspire, Alex also noticed that the energy level along this area was a bit abnormal.

This aberrant situation piqued Juliet’s curiosity and she maximised her power level to find what was hidden below. However, the waves became violent all of a sudden and Alex abruptly felt a chill surrounding his body.

” Julie, stop it now.”

Alex shouted at Juliet and pulled her away from the rock end. Just after Alex pulled Juliet away, they saw an enormous wave washing away the huge rock where Juliet stood before. Both Alex and Juliet were shocked as even the waters were against Juliet this time.

” Julie, whatever is hidden here is totally out of our league. I don’t think it is time to uncover it yet. Let us head back now. I have a bad premonition about this place.”

Juliet also agreed as whatever was hidden down, could make the waters, which was her forte, turn against her. If Alex didn’t pull her away, she would have plunged into that depth by that wave.

Both of them left from there as soon as possible for them. If they had waited for another few minutes, they could have seen a big black swirl crushing the huge rock into powder. After crushing the rock, the black swirl disappeared deep into the ocean.

Reaching the manor, Alex told Emmy what had happened besides the cliff end beach rock side and Emmy wanted to visit there but both Alex and Juliet firmly disapproved of it. They had seen that gigantic wave engulfing the huge rock so they didn’t want Emmy to face such a calamity without regaining her powerful self.

The feeling of helplessness crept inside Emmy’s brain once again. She determined to seek Elder Miandrake to use the ultimate method he once suggested. She decided not to discuss it with Alex until she consulted Elder Miandrake.

All three of them set back to the campus without wasting any time. Along the way, Alex was thinking about the chill feeling he had felt before the humongous wave came. This was the same feelings he had felt when Emmy had strangled him that night at the campus. So the powers which are hidden underneath, would it be of the enchantress’s supporting team or of the black world? Alex felt worried about the aftermath if it was the later one.

Sitting in the sedan, Alex looked at Emmy. He held her hands as an unknown fear was getting on his mind. Somewhere deep in his mind, a thought was arising that in the future, this wonderful woman was going to stand opposite to him, determined to fight against him till her last breath.

As Alex was immersed in his thoughts, his grip over her hands subconsciously became tighter and Emmy felt pain. She turned to look at Alex to find him frowning. She then understood that what Alex and Juliet had seen today had put Alex into a deep frenzy.

” Relax. Alex, whatever comes in future, we must make sure to fight till the end. Okay, we will be able to find a solution as soon as possible. ”

” Emmy, just promise me, whatever happens, you will ever leave me, please. From yesterday night, this thought has been bugging me. I cannot imagine a life without you in it. Please, just promise me that.”

Emmy’s breathing fluctuated for a bit but she tried to remain calm in front of Alex. She nodded her head and let Alex hug her in his embrace. However, the guilt feeling in Emmy’s eyes was correctly spotted by Juliet who was sitting opposite and watching the couple.

Juliet couldn’t think of any instance why Emmy was backing off from such a promise, although she had nodded her head this was not her usual style. Emmy was a woman of her words so judging by her behaviour, it was clear that she was doubtful whether she would eventually end up marrying Alex or not.

After a three hour journey, they reached back to campus and Jordan was filling up the details of what had happened during the morning session.

” Was that vile creature thrashed up enough? I hope now she won’t pester my beautiful wife anymore.”

Alex was already disgusted with Talsha drooling over him but how could she dare to provoke his wife?

” Well, having a handsome boyfriend can make life difficult, isn’t it?”

Alex looked at Emmy who was smiling at him with a proud face. Usually, Emmy didn’t compliment him in front of their friends, so this time when she openly said he was handsome, two roses go bloomed on his face.

” Hey brother, I haven’t seen you blushing from the day I remember, now look at you… no wonder, you have a lot of admirers than any other handsome men on the campus.”

Alex felt uncomfortable when he found his little brother was also teasing him, so he quickly changed the subject.

” Hey, here I have taken you as my wife but you are still considering me as your lover, not fair Emmy!”

Emmy punched him lightly and whispered in his ears, “Work hard.”

Unable to watch these two behaving coquettish, others dispersed soon. However, Alex and Emmy went straight to see master Rotrigues and Neshag as they wanted to share what they had found out at the cliff end.

Master Rotrigues were eagerly waiting for Emmy as he also wanted to tell her a piece of news. Just as he saw Emmy entering to his sight, he blurted out the news as he could not hold this suspense any more in his stomach.

” Emmy, Emmy… my child, you are here. Finally, we have news from Miandrake. He has found that the ultimate method which he had referred to, can be successful in your case with minimal side effects.”

Emmy rolled her eyes at master Rotrigues asking him to stop but whatever the suspense was already laid out in front of Alex.

Alex looked at Emmy and asked seriously, ” Hope that now you can explain whatever is the ultimate method that master was saying about.”
