RED STRING CHAPTER 24.2
"WIFE..." DOC LINUS greets her and walks toward her. He envelopes her in his arms before kissing her on the lips. Doc Linus' eyes found me and his face flooded with deep concern. "Ysobella?! What are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be resting?" "She's fine, Linus. And I think the Alpha will regain his strength faster than expected if he feels her presence." Doc Linus sighed and nods his head. "I see... very well. But you can't talk to him yet. I gave him a sedative to calm him down. He insisted on seeing you," he teased while Doc Morgan laughs. I lowered my gaze to hide the embarrassment. Minutes later, the two excused themselves. Doc Linus also instructed me on what to do once Lucien regains his consciousness. I sat on Lucien's bed then I examine his body. He has a bandage wrapped on his right shoulder and a patch on the left side of his abdomen. He also has a few scratches on his face which are slowly healing. I am glad he's now okay. No words describe the fear I fe

QUEST A WEEK HAD passed and Lucien has fully recovered from his injuries. And true to his words he did keep his promise that he'll make it up to me even if it's not really necessary. He took me to Berkhann City along with Clarrise and Markus.Clarrise and the triplets grew up in Berkhann City. Lucien said that Clarrise had their ancestral house renovated, and she is planning to stay there once she sorts everything. She's planning to continue her study in medicine as well.Berkhann City is also the largest city in Preousia. The Council House is also located in the city. We visited Clarrise's school and I was amazed at how big it was. I felt an inch of sadness because I miss learning. If only our town did not suffer from that tragedy, I still would have finished studying. But then, it is all in the past now. I am still happy for I was able to make it this far.After a week of staying in the city, we went home but Lucien did not come with us. He said his business with the Elders is stil

I TIGHTLY CLOSED my eyes after hearing Nereza. In the end, I had no choice but to agree. The three of them are clearly determined and the least I can do is be strong enough for them. I want the truth too because I feel like half of my life is missing. Before we left Nereza's study we made a plan for our quest. Nereza said Lucien will be back in four days, so she suggested we'll take our leave in two days. The journey to Newhallow Mountain will take us two days and it will take us a day before we reach Taewe. This means that this quest will take us more than just three days. ***** I WAS READY to retire in my bed when Ayla caught my attention. She was rummaging for something in a chest. "What are you looking for, Ayla?" "This!" she exclaimed as she lifts a vial in the air. "What is that?" I asked. The vial she's holding contains some kind of fluid. "It's wolfsbane. And this," she said as she took a bag. "Are silver arrows." My eyes widened in horror because of the things i

THE DANGER IT'S ALREADY DAWN and we're here at the East gate waiting for our carriage. I told Ayla that I'm still sleepy but Ayla feels the opposite. Did she even sleep? Shortly, Nereza and Clarrise called our names, informing us that the carriage have already arrived. Ayla, Clarrise, and I are inside the carriage while Nereza is seated beside the Scout who will take us to Taewe. "Who's the Scout?" I asked Clarrise. "His name is Jacob. He is the second in command of the Scouts. Nereza said he's good in directions and he's also good at fighting. He will help us reach Taewe," Clarrise answered. "Do you think he won't say a word to the Alpha?" Ayla asked. "I don't think he will tell a soul. Nereza said she had it under control. Let's trust her." Two days. It will take us two days to reach the mountain. I hope that no harm will fall upon us on our way. High Priestess of Preousia, please guide us on our way to Taewe. After my silent prayer, I fell asleep on Ayla's shoulder. I w
RED STRING CHAPTER 26.2
WE MOVED ON with our quest shortly after lunch. Jacob reminds us that we are about to pass an abandoned tribe. We were supposed to choose a different path but Jacob said that crossing the river might not be a good idea right now since it rain hard last night. The unearthly silence of the tribe welcomed us the moment we reached it. The sound of the wheels and the sound the horses made surrounds the place. Jacob mentioned earlier that after the second Blood War, the tribe people who used to live here abandoned this place. They lost many. The tribe people were afraid that another war might happen so they left and seek for another refuge. "What happened?" I asked Jacob because of our unexpected stop. He didn't answer right away so we went out of the carriage to check on him. "Jacob?" "I heard something. Go back inside the carriage, my lady. All of you get inside the carriage!" he told us with urgency. I gasped sharply. He's right. I did hear something. It appears that someone or

TAEWE THE MAN MOCKINGLY laughed at Jacob. "You think I'm afraid of you... werewolf! Tsk. Tsk. I may be a normal being but I'm dangerous too. Men!" he yelled. On cue, men came out from the mist grinning from ear to ear. They're just normal beings but I can see the danger in their eyes. Who are these men? Are they rebels? "Let. Them. Go. Or I will rip you in half... human," Jacob said with a threat. The man, once again, laughs at us, including his comrades. "As I said, I am not afraid of you," he mocked, "And look!" he exclaimed as he points at something behind us. Worried flooded us when we realized that Nereza and Ayla are now both unconscious. "This woman is not affected with powdered wolfsbane. We gave her a sleeping powder instead," a man said while pointing his finger at Ayla. Ayla is a normal being that's why she isn't affected by wolfsbane. "What do you want from us?! If you want gold coins and jewelry, we don't have them!" I told them half-yelling. "Hmmm, we actua
RED STRING CHAPTER 27.2
ATTICUS IS A vampire but the color of his eyes tells that he's not a pure-blooded one. Only the pure ones bear red eyes while the ones with golden yellow, like Atticus, are turned vampires. "BELLA?! It's Jacob! Help him!" Clarrise shrieked. I was pulled from my trance when I heard Clarrise. I quickly took the bow and arrow to shoot the men who tried to hurt Jacob. I shoot the other man in his hand and the other man on his shoulder. I shot them again and this time I shoot their legs. As they both fell to the ground Atticus came running to Jacob and helped him. "What happened to him? I thought the fluid was supposed to heal him?!" I asked. "It should... but I didn't know he was pierced with a silver arrow. His wound will heal longer but don't worry, he's going to be okay. He just needs time," Atticus told me reassuringly. I roamed around my eyes to my surrounding and relief came upon me when I saw that the men who tried to hurt us were no longer capable to cause harm. "What s
RED STRING CHAPTER 28.1
SOTÌRAS TREE TAEWE IS A small village with paths made of pebbles. The place looks serene but the various plants make the surroundings lively. The people live in small houses made of logs. Tall trees also surround the area and I even saw a pond with a sculpture of a woman in the middle, wearing a chiton dress. Who is she? We keep on walking around the village, searching for Elphina. As we wander around, we noticed the puzzled looked of the people while some are giving Atticus and Draven sharp eyes. We asked questions to the people about Elphina's whereabouts but we didn't get any luck. It looks like they're protecting her. They must have thought we were here to cause a disturbance. Then suddenly a girl about ten years old came running to us. She handed me a single piece of paper with words written on it. -The wooden house near the cliff. After reading it we didn't waste any seconds. We reached the cliff and found the said house. Nereza was about to knock but the door suddenly o
