SAVE ME

Back in Venar, Anglassia was left in shock over Eren’s words “What?”

Eren folded his arms”Oh, so now, you don’t remember?”

“I remember but then-“Anglassia paused “Were you trying to get me jealous all along?”

Eren laughed out loud”Not at all, glaze. I really do care about Alexa a great deal and nothing else”

“Then why were you crying?”Anglassia asked still unable to believe Eren.

Eren quirked his brow in confusion”Glaze, Alexa was stoned by a mob. Of course, it hurt me alot. Alexa is family”

“It’s no use talking to you. You are just hiding your feelings when it’s obvious you like Alexa. Stop confusing me”Anglassia said turning around from Eren but he dragged her back to him and placed his lips on hers.

Back in the Witches’ realm in the council room, the long whip slashed against Laura’s skin as she cried out in pain.

Her legs and hands were tied to each side of the wall as seated Infront of her were the councilors.

In the council room, every witch is punished by the 4 highest witches and judged.

Seated at the extreme end was Aiden black.

His real surname wasn’t really black but people often added that to his name as he was always claded in black attire.

He got offended by this ND recently changed his hair color to brown but he just succeeded in looking like a clown.

But that doesn’t mean he’s a funny person, No.

He’s strict to the core as he was raised by wolves. Absurd right that a witch was raised by wolves? Well, anything band everything happens in Ava land.

Seated beside Mr black, who started picking his nose was Miss Ruby Gonzalez.

Ruby Gonzalez was claded in a long golden apparel as usual.

She always stood out with her unique fashion sense and her long white hair and dark blue eyes.

It was the biggest mystery in the Witches’ realm why Miss Ruby was still unmarried.

Rumor has it that she has a bad temper that could kill and that’s what has killed the few men who had approached her then another rumor has it that she was secretly seeing Mr Black behind the council’s back.

But the second one could be easily disregarded as Aiden and Ruby showed a great dislike towards eachother.

Ruby slammed her hands on the desk unable to take it anymore as she turned to Aiden “Stop picking your nose, we are here for business”

Aiden plucked out his hands from his nose”Sorry”

Beside her, Clementine burst out in laughter so hard that she cried”You two are so cute”

Clementine was the third member of the councilors.

She was proudly married unlike the other two and so that made her a big sucker for love.

She believes that Aiden and Ruby were going to eventually end up together since they are always bickering at eachother and she always made sure she used whatever “free” time she had to tease them.

It was still unknown why Clementine was part of the councilors. She was such a softie and she didn’t seem to have any unique powers.

The only thing that was unique about her was that she always wore a black shades.

People often thought that he was blind before but then a rumor also spread that under those shades were her sliver eyes.

Silver eyes that could make you go down to your knees and confess even to the sins you were yet to commit.

But it’s was just believed to be a rumor as she had never taken over her shades.

“Don’t even start with your thoughts, Clementine”Ruby snarled.

“Why?” Clementine asked finally being able to catch her breathe from all the laughter.

“All of you, keep quiet!” Josephine shouted as she turned to face them”If you don’t want to be here, get out!”

Josephine was the last member of the councilors.

She was the most feared witch in the whole of Ava land and also a no-nonsense person.

And worse of all, she was Laura’s mother- The only person Laura feared-

Laura was seen as the most powerful witch amongst her peers because she was daughter of Josephine.

Josephine turned back to face Laura with her long whip in her hand as she turned to face Ms Agatha” So where were we? Continue telling me her sins”

Ms Agatha suddenly started feeling guilty. She looked at the long marks on Laura’s back and back at Josephine.

She hadn’t wanted this. When she saw she was going to take Laura to meet the councilors for her  punishment, she was told before hand that Josephine wouldn’t be present.

If Josephine wasn’t present, she knew that Ruby, Aiden and Clementine would go easy on her.

“Umm…”

Josephine hit the whip against the ground”You are wasting my time, Agatha!”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“A-At first, she summoned acid rain”

Josephine slashed the whip against her back again as Laura cried out in pain”And then?”

“T-Then? Then she… I can’t seem to remember”

“AGATHA!!!”Josephine shouted as she rushed over to Ms. Agatha and squeezed her cheeks”Stop playing games with me”

She pushed Ms. Agatha aside” And then?”

Ms. Agatha remained silent as Josephine’s anger reached her peak” You can’t remember?”Josephine scoffed”Fine. Then I’ll whip her till you do”

Josephine raised up the whip and lashed it against Laura’s back as she screamed.

Once… twice…. thrice….. The whip kept on meeting a synchrony at the same spot on her back.

“Ms. Agatha, please say something!!” Laura screamed in tears.

Ms. Agatha couldn’t think of anything. All Laura had done wrong was set up acid rain .

“Love potion!”Ms. Agatha shouted immediately it came to mind ” She created a love potion but that’s not anything wrong, is it?”

“And who did she use it on?” Josephine asked.

“Nobody. I got rid of it”

“Did you?”

“Yes”Ms. Agatha said with her voice shaking.

“Fine then”Josephine said throwing her whip to the ground and turning to Aiden, Ruby and Clementine” Meeting dismissed”

As the three royals left, Ms. Agatha ran up to Laura”Are you okay? Does it hurt so much?”

Ms. Agatha reached towards each side of her hands and legs to free her.

Ms. Agatha held her face”Laura, do you need wat-”

Laura pushed Ms. Agatha away”I see that you really hate me now”

“What?”

“You should have said something sooner. Did you want mother to kill me!?”Laura cried in tears.

“Laura I-”

“I’m sure now you think you did me a favor. Why didn’t you tell mother everything, huh? That you made the portion to use it on lord Damien”

A hand clap was heard as Josephine made her presence known to them.

Laura’s eyes widened. Mother hadn’t left?

“I knew there was more to the story”Josephine said as she turned to face Ms. Agatha “And you… you had the guts to lie to me.”

Josephine squeezed Ms. Agatha’s cheeks as she said through gritted teeths”HOW DARE YOU ”
