Chapter 2
Ahhhhhhhh!!!
I fell off the horse. Stood up and realized that they had already caught up with me. They moved around me in circles.
They both attacked me at the same time. It was one hell of a fight. I managed to defeat them but I had claw marks all over me.
I walked alone in the woods hoping to get help. But to no avail. I collapsed right there in the woods.
When I opened my eyes, I discovered that I was in a room. It looked quite weird. Herbs were all over the place. I quickly stood up and looked around but there was no one. All the scars on my body were gone. There were no traces of them.
“Finally, you’re awake.”
Turned, ready to attack only to realize that it was a young lady who stood in the dark side of the room just staring at me.
Calm down, I’m not gonna hurt you, she said
“Who are you?” I asked
She chuckled and then walked out of the dark. I watched her every move as she walked.
Gosh!
She looked very pretty. I’ve never seen anyone as pretty as she is. She has nice curves, yeah I could see it through her well-fitted gown, she has curly dark hair, and damn those eyes, she has charming blue eyes which reminded me of my mother. A teardrop fell from my eyes just at the thought of my mother.
“It’s okay, you don’t have to cry,” she said moving closer to me
“How did I get here?” I asked as she made a halt
She answered
“Thanks for saving me would be nice but anyway, I needed herbs for something, so I set out into the wood to find some, only to find you on the ground badly injured. I wanted to leave but couldn’t so I brought you here, cleaned you up.”
“And yes, you’ve been out for f**king 3 days” she yelled
Oh no, Willow…
I quickly rushed outside to discover that we were in the middle of nowhere. All I could see were trees and birds flying around.
Tried to see if I could find my way…
Boom!!!
The next thing I knew, I was on the ground. Stood up and tried to move forward again and the same thing happened.
“What’s going on? I asked”
“Don’t bother, you can’t get out?” She said
What’s this? Why can’t I leave this place? I asked furiously
“It’s a kind of spell I use to keep myself safe,” she said
“It’s called a containment spell” she added
Containment what? I asked confused
“On my way bringing you to this place, I noticed that I was being followed, so I used the containment spell to keep you safe and also be safe from whatever was after you,” she said
“I used the spell after I noticed that there were certain wolves that followed us looking angry.”
I knew they were after you but didn’t know why.
“So tell me why,” she asked
It’s none of your business, I replied
By the way, my name’s Rhea, what’s yours? she asked
Thanks for helping me out Rhea but you have to let me out now, I stated
“Gosh, you won’t even tell me your name. Well, you can’t just leave, with the way I see it, those wolves out there will just rip you apart the moment they see you.” She said
You don’t understand, I have to go now…
But she refused and said
“No, not until you tell me what’s going on. And who or what are you, and why those wolves were after you”
I went back in pacing around like someone who lost something. Looking out through the window, she pulled an old rocking chair into the shade under a tree and sat down facing upward.
~Rhea’s POV~
~past~
Growing up as a young girl, people saw me as a witch. They despised me and my mother. They would always say horrible things to me and my mother. But mother will always tell me not to listen to whatever they say. She said that I’m a special child blessed with the gift of healing.
A few years later, my mother passed away and I was left alone. Many people said I killed my mother and so many other awful things to me.
Walking around the market one day, I found a little girl who was injured. I wanted to live him there but her tears couldn’t let me do that knowing full well that I could help her.
Don’t worry, everything is gonna be okay, I said to her and she nodded in response.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
I placed my hand on her leg and healed her.
“Wow, thank you miss,” she said.
You are welcome, now be careful next time, okay?
“Okay miss, I will,” she said as she ran off to go and meet her mother.
Mother look, that miss over there healed me, she said to her mother
Her mother turned to see who her daughter was talking about and as soon as she set her eyes on me, she asked her daughter to go inside.
I waved at her but she looked at me with so much despise. I covered my head and went back home angry at what happened.
Getting home, I walked straight to my room and laid down on my bed.
“Rhea…”
Who’s there? I asked
I heard someone call my name. Looked around and found nobody. Even checked through the window but couldn’t see anyone.
Maybe it’s all in my head, I concluded.
I was about to lay down when I heard the voice again and this time I knew it was not just my imagination.
It kept calling out to me. I followed it and it lead me to my mother’s study room.
What the hell is going on? I asked, not minding that there was nobody to answer. I looked around just to be sure that no one was there.
“Rhea…” The voice called out again. Still looking around trying to find where the voice was coming from
“Rhea… I’m here”
Gosh, it was coming from the box which lay close to the table. Moving closer to the box, I bent down and knelt in front of the box, and tried to open it. But it was looked.
Where could the key be?, I asked
I searched for the key but couldn’t find it.
Oh, I remember seeing my mother putting something in a little bag in her wardrobe. I went to her wardrobe and found the key in the little bag then went straight to the box and opened it.
What the hell?…
