The Black Mist Enchantress - Chapter 93

Alex rushed inside to find nothing but a huge structure of a spiral staircase. The other end of the staircase was not visible and Alex stopped his steps. Suddenly it hit him, just now he wanted to see Lamia so badly. A sudden guilty feeling arose from Alex’s heart but his mind still supported his enthusiasm.

Turning around, Alex saw the expression on Juliet’s face, she too never thought Alex would be this excited to see his old love. Juliet could understand his feelings of wanting to see the person whom he lost all of a sudden, but then what was Emmy for him?

Both of them didn’t say a word but started to climb the stairs, it felt as if these stairs were enclosed inside a tower, a very big tower. Alex walked robotically taking each step but inside his heart, the guilty feeling started to rise. He wanted to explain it to Juliet as she is one of the two important persons for Emmy.

Yes, he was feeling guilty of Emmy, Lamia was his past but Emmy, that woman who was the most irritating, hopeless and adamant woman he had ever met, changed him totally. Now it was all Emmy for him still how he had the audacity to get excited over his past lover, even remembered her smell so evidently. He couldn’t blame Juliet, anyone who saw his reaction will be suspicious of him. After ascending another three layers, Alex decided to come clean before Juliet.

” Sister-in-law, I have only Emmy in my heart, yes, just now my mind got excited but it was not a feeling of bliss for finding the lost lover, instead it always reminded me of the wrong things I did to the two women who suddenly went missing and if I get to meet them again, surely I have to apologise to them.”

Juliet, although had twisted thoughts about Alex a few minutes, felt reassured after Alex explained his part.

In her mind, she praised Emmy, ” this is why you always told, do not judge a man by their outer look, I didn’t know that my grumpy brother-in-law would be this filial towards his woman just like my husband.”

The words on her mind made her lips curve up and she smiled at Alex.

” I knew my friend cannot trust people easily. I’m glad that you both are together.” Both of them smiled at each other and continued to climb the stairs.

Finally, they reached another chamber, but this time, Juliet sensed a water body nearby.

” I guess, on the other side of this wall might be the sea but I could feel it well, so it means this chamber is under the sea.”

” Under the sea? we climbed a hell of a long spiral staircase and still reached under the sea. How is it even possible?”

Alex got perplexed while Juliet got confused, she never heard of a building built under the sea and according to the map, only they needed to walk approximately 3000 yards to reach their destination. Till now they had walked over 3000 yards so how come they are still under the sea?

While Juliet was busy sensing any other empty plot around them, Alex decided to check the chamber they entered. This chamber had nothing, it was a totally empty space, not even a piece of old furniture. Alex squatted down to feel the temperature of the ground, it was a bit cold.

” Brother-in-law, this place is approx 1000 fathoms deep in the sea, I really can’t find another way out.”

Alex also felt that this chamber was a dead-end to their trip as if they tried to break the walls, they might meet the wrath of the sea. As Alex stood up, Juliet pointed to the place where he had touched previously.

” See, this is blackened ash. Something was burned in here.”

Alex touched the place where Juliet was pointing and he also felt the same. Now it dawned to them, that whoever had created this havoc, had done something else here. That person then set the whole chamber in the fire.

” That’s why we couldn’t find anything here, so that person could have destroyed the remaining end of this pathway.”

” Yes, you are correct, but I feel something strange about this ash.”

Just as Alex said those words and took his hand back, suddenly from nowhere wind rushed inside the chamber, Alex and Juliet backed against the wall but still, the winds revolving around them were too strong and then they saw something extraordinary.

The winds turned into a violently rotating column of air with the funnel cloud sucking up all the black ash. It turned into a swirl of black mist and rose up in the air. Watching the black swirling air, Alex and Juliet got scared out of their wits.

” Juliet, can you use your power to control these winds.”

” Sorry, I don’t know why I feel powerless in front of it, I guess, it might be another trap from the core power world but I will try to slow it down. ”

Juliet concentrated on the water across the wall and tried to push it in the form of waves just like she did it with the strange stones but in vain it backfired. Neither any waves rushed in nor made the speed decrease but instead, it attracted the black mist towards her.

Seeing the black swirling mist advancing towards Juliet, Alex couldn’t find anything to throw at it. He then saw Juliet’s sack of things which they had prepared.

” Juliet, throw something into the vortex of the wind, now, fast,” Alex screamed and without wasting any time, Juliet threw the whole sack into the ravaging wind.

Juliet literally saw the lightning bolts getting created inside the swirling wind and it completely destroyed the sack which entered the vortex.

Juliet felt her heart was now in her mouth wanting to jump out and reach Mike no matter what. With only a few steps from the approaching death, Juliet looked at Alex.

” Tell Mike, I loved him so much and will wait for him in the next birth.”

Alex remembered his brother and clenched his fists. The pain, the despair which he felt when he lost his love, no one knew other than him and he was sure that his brother could live that pain. Without thinking any further, Alex rushed in between the destructive winds and Juliet.

” Nooooooooooo…..”

Alex screamed. He faced the black mist swirling power and looked straight inside it. The tormenting winds slowed down but Alex stood without moving. Juliet could see the black coloured mist slowly fading away but she got scared watching Alex standing like a statue in front of the fading wind.

Alex couldn’t believe what he saw just now, the smell was strong and the eyes, he had seen it before. Yes, It was her… it was Lamia, this smell he won’t ever forget it but those eyes.. green coloured eyes, made him insane twice.

” Lamia and Emmy are connected somehow. They have a strong common link, I feel it. ”

Alex and Juliet rushed back to inform their friends of mystical findings. Meanwhile, at the seashore, others were waiting for Alex and Juliet as per the plan. However, they had few guests at the beach.

The opposite party who came to the beach had five people in total. The Posei sisters and their three friends. Feona and her sister Bianca wanted to see Mike, they thought they would be able to seduce Mike and break her sister’s engagement. The eldest one Feona was insulted by Mike at the Salian clan but yet she again came shamelessly. Juliet’s other sister, Bianca was more sly than Feona, but after seeing Mike for a few times, she also started having ideas to be his woman.

Watching Mike enjoying with his friends without Juliet, the sisters smiled at each other.

” See Bianca, I told you no man would want to love a single woman throughout his life. The crown prince is a crack, but this guy, he wouldn’t be satisfied with just one. I am sure.”

It was Jordan who saw the group approaching them and he was quick to inform others about their arrival. The secret guards watching the esteemed guests of the Posei family straight away went to inform their clan head.

” How audacious? Did he think that I am dead? That woman had spoilt the blood of the Posei family but good heavens, I got one intact. Go and capture those two impudent brats before they ruin everything.”

Meantime, at the beach, Emmy and Janet didn’t bother to greet these sisters of Juliet and the other party shared the same feelings. They had targeted Mike specifically and their friends were swooning over Jordan.

” Girls, I think it is time… Let me go and fetch our pearls.”

Jordan wanted to escape from those scrutinizing gazes, so he left his friend Mike alone and quickly went to the boat.

” Hi, I am Bianca and this is my sister Feona, you two might have a bad beginning but as we are going to be a family soon, please for my sake, forgive her.”

Janet whispered to Emmy” See the way she twists up the story, she is making others think that he is her fiance.”
