Chapter 139 It was never your fantasy
VICTORIA'S POV...
'Raeven, your guests are here.' I heard the red-haired woman say to someone behind us. curiosity
peeked and I turned to see 'the Raeven' finally.
And Oh My God! I could not hold my shock anymore. She is... She is fucking gorgeous!
With a head full of long and wavey platinum white hair, that is touching her waist. Her eyes are
lavender with a platinum edge. Celestial nose. Red plump lips and high cheekbones in an oval-shaped
face.
If this is a magical world, she is truly a creation of magic!
And the thing that surprised me the most is her age. I thought Raeven would be a woman of
Grandma's age or lowest, middle-aged, but! But this woman is just about my age! How the fuck is this
possible! And she is called a powerful witch!?
Isn't powerful witches generally older!?
My eyes roamed her from top to bottom. She is wearing nothing weird. A red and white floral dress,
matched with a pair of red stilettos. Except for her rare eyes and hair, she has nothing different in her
other than a human!
And even those hair and eyes are acceptable in the human world because of wigs and lenses
nowadays. People like to wear weird kinds of stuff unless she is wearing one.
Raeven walked close to us and slightly lowered her head in greeting. "Hello..." Her eyes switched from
me to Sage and then again came to me. "You must be Victoria?" She asked.
Well, she knows me? Nothing surprising though.
I nodded, "Yes..."
The smile on her face lifted more, it's never gone. She walked close to me and stood just in front of me.
"I have heard about you from Nina. She has passed her responsibility over to you, Victoria." She
spoke.
She turned her head to Ronald and Sage. "Gentlemen, will you please wait outside while I am talking
with Victoria?"
Sage turned to me. He is reluctant. But, I nodded and he has to go out. After they were gone, suddenly,
she stretched her both hands to me. "If you don't mind, may I hold your hands?" She asked politely.
I blinked, looking at my hands. And then turned to Ronald who nodded in silence.
Inhaling a sharp breath, I put my hands on hers. I was expecting to feel something, but nothing
happened.
"Now close your eyes." She said sweetly and I obliged. Not feeling weird anymore.
As I closed my eyes, I don't know what just happened. But, I was forced to the day with my marriage
with Aless! Our first marriage was four years ago!
My miscarriage, his indifference, Camilla, my divorce ... And many more! Everything just appeared
before my eyes but I was feeling nothing! It felt like I was floating in my head and those memories are
just randomly passing me!
I just revisited the moments of my life...
Then I saw myself leaving home tonight and suddenly everything was gone. I was standing alone in the
dark...
"Now, slowly open your eyes, Victoria." I heard a soft tone in my head. I obliged, I opened my eyes and
I watched those lavender eyes watching me with curiosity.
The smile on her lips was still present. "Now I know, why Nina wanted you to take her obligations."
I blinked in confusion, "Why?"
Raeven let go of my hands. Her plump red lips stretched into a more wide smile. "You have something
rare to find in this world. No matter human or magical."
I stared at her in amazement. I mean, I have no idea what she is talking about! Maybe, she understood
my inner conflicts. She added, "Don't worry Victoria, the tough time you are passing, will end soon. You
don't need magic to solve your problems. You have your own magic."
"But..." I tried to speak when she stopped me, "Do you believe in God?" She asked and I nodded
honestly.
"That's it. I am sure, your belief in God, and Mother Hecate and Selene will help you. What you are is
the best of you, Victoria. Never change your ways..." She said.
I wanted to speak when, "It's time for you to go back to your world, Victoria..."
Huh? I blinked and when I opened my eyes, wait! Why is everything dark!? I looked around and gasped
as I realised where I am. In the dark forest! The place where it all just started!
I turned behind and find Sage staring at me in confusion. "Ma'am? What happened? Is anything
wrong?" He asked.
"I..." I turned around to see the stone gate but where is it!? What the fuck is happening!? Then I
suddenly realised one thing and turned to face Sage, "Where is Ronald?"
He blinked and then frowned, "Who Ronald?"
"Who Ronald? Surgeon Ronald, who brought us here!" I was turning annoyed now.
Sage watched me as if I have lost my mind! "What are you talking about ma'am? Who Surgeon
Ronald? You asked me to accompany you here and I did. But, what are we doing here?"
I felt like was hit by a thunder storm! What did he say?! I brought him here? Alone? What the fuck!? Is
this some kind of prank or what!?
I watched Sage who genuinely looked confused. Is he really saying the truth? Because Sage is not
someone who would lie ever! But, what was that experience I just had? Was it all my imagination? But,
how is it possible?
I turned behind again and the place is still empty. No stone gate in the middle of the forest.
"Ma'am? What happened?" I heard Sage's worried tone. "Should we go home?"
I turned my gaze to him. I am still in a daze about his behaviour. However, I didn't say anything and
only nodded.
I don't know what just happened to me. I clearly remembered everything! But, Sage is saying
differently! Is this real? Or my own fantasy?
I don't know. But, everything just seemed so real. I think I should talk to Ronald about it.
Following Sage, I went inside the car and he started driving back to the city. I leaned back on the car
and sometime later, we went into the radiation of the network.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated with a text and it was from Ronald! I immediately opened the text and
read it.
'Ir was never your fantasy... Hope you will remember the words you heard from her...'
I read the text a couple more times to extract the feeling that it wasn't a lie at all. It happened in real,
but... I looked up and watched Sage through the rearview mirror...
He forgot all of it...This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
