Chapter 25: Chapter 25

THE URGE TO MAKE LOVE

When Jemmy saw how beautifully united the flames Ariana and Jason transformed into had become, she was infuriated, pained and jealous. As a matter of fact, her heart was broken!

Jemimah had no intention of sharing her man with anyone, be it a woman, witch or goddess. Perhaps, the rush of emotions was what triggered her own transformation.

In a twinkle of an eye, she changed into something that looked indescribably cold and nebulous. It resembled an almost invisible cloud. After that, she attacked the beautiful flame.

Each time the cloud touched the fire, it became smaller in size. There was a noticeable decrease in its intensity and brightness of the flame. As a result, the room was filled with what looked like vapor and smoke. At some point, it proved really difficult to see anything.

Roberto could not tell whether or not the coach was still present in the room. The other footballers and their partners had disappeared into thin air as well. It was one of the abilities that was bestowed upon them for either being a loyal descendant of Olana's coven or an apprentice of Sergio's ancient shrine.

Robbo was left with no option but to shut his eyes and hope for the best. He was fast losing blood. But the fierce battle between the beautiful flame and the cloud was becoming more dangerous by the second.

If he didn't conserve the strength he had left, then the heat and smoke could kill him before his bleeding wound would. Still, despite how scared he was, something told him that Ariana was in there somewhere.

At last, the cloud became very faint. It was almost subdued. So, Jemimah took on her human form again. This made Robbo very hopeful. But it was too late, the raging fire moved closer to burn her in order to scorch her to death.

Suddenly, there was a twitch in the flame. It was no longer as bright as it was. Its different colors looked quite obscure now. A very violent surge went from the top to the bottom of the fire, then at last it was separated into two different parts again.

The groom's flame stood between the bride's and Jemimah who was too weak to defend herself. She lay down helplessly by a corner of the room.

Immediately the bride's flame noticed this, it took another deadly swipe at her but the groom continued to stand against her. Each time Ariana's fire moved forward to unite again with Jason's in order to destroy Jemimah, she was strongly repelled. This went on over and over again.

Roberto could now see through the smoke because the room had become a bit clearer. He observed everything and understood that there was a vicious battle going on between his fiancee and whatever it was that possessed her.

He knew that somehow Jason had fought vehemently to protect Jemimah while he and Ariana merged into one flame.

Jemimah was dying. Jason, who still had his power albeit in a very weakened state, wouldn't let any harm come to her. After a few more minutes of shielding her, he also transformed into a naked human being on top of his heartthrob. And they both lay on the ground helplessly.

Robbo was struggling with his bullet wound, he watched as the bride's flame flared up. It looked as if whatever possessed Ariana really wanted her to kill Jemimah! Her flame was becoming brighter by the second. It seemed like she was being energized.

'I know my baby girl, she must be in there somewhere fighting for our love,' Robbo thought to himself.

When Ariana was about to give Jemimah a lethal blow, Roberto raised himself quickly and used his body as a shield to protect the couple. " Baby girl, please fight against it. Do not destroy them." He pleaded.

There was a brief pause. After that, Robbo noticed a violent surge running through the flame again. Unfortunately, the fire flared up to deal yet another blow, but instead it vanished. Ariana was all to be seen! She too had no clothes on.

She fell into one of the chairs, inhaling and exhaling deeply. The young lady looked exhausted.

"Baby, you did it!" Roberto cried. He crawled to where she was seated, reached for her foot and kissed it.

Coach Sergio, the other players and their partners were still nowhere to be found.

All four of them writhed in pain. Fear and surprise loomed on their faces. They hoped to gather enough strength to come up with an escape plan. Jason sat down after a while. But he did not leave Jemimah who still appeared weak.

Ariana also sat upright on the chair she fell on. Robbo put his head on her thighs and sat on the ground.

When Jason and Ariana's eyes met again, there was an awakening within them. It was a strong and lustful connection. To him, she was the most beautiful thing existence had to offer. He appealed to her in the same way. Hence, both of them felt the urge to just grab their naked selves and make passionate love to each other!
