Chapter 63: Chapter 63

Ariana's POV

"How can you be so cruel? How could you kill Dylan?" Samantha ranted as soon as I got to her, she looked mad as hell, "Dylan is not dead but will soon be dead if we don't do something, where's Damien? I came here in hope that I would see him"

"So that you could kill him as well? I'm not telling you where he is" I felt exasperated but I couldn't blame her, I would react the same way if I was in her shoes, "come on Sam, Eric used me when I found out that Dylan was cheating on me, I took an elixir to forget about him but Eric took advantage of the situation and put a seal on my love for him, I was emotionless towards him but as soon as I stabbed him, I don't know how but I felt his pain and then, I suddenly regained my memory of him and threw up the seal, I'm sorry for whatever happened, please, I don't want him dead" she eyed me warily as if contemplating whether to believe me or not, "Dylan can never cheat on you, how come you said he cheated on you?"

"I know that now, it was my misconception, Eric had everything carefully planned out but now, I plan on beating him in his own game" she sighed, "I don't understand what he stands to gain from all these"

"He made a bargain with some Alpha, although I don't know what the bargain was about, I just found out that the so-called Alpha is the killer of our mother and Dylan's parents " Samantha gasped, her eyes grew round in surprise, "and I bet Eric knew all of this and yet pinned it on Dylan and now, the whole world knows he's a werewolf, he's all over the news" I felt an aching pang in my heart to think that I was the cause of all of that, Sam tapped my shoulders and I looked at her, it still kinda felt surreal that I and my sister could ever be this close "don't beat yourself over it, what we should focus on now is how to save Dylan"

"You're right, I heard Eric say that only the blood from the heart of a female werewolf can save him,"

"That's an impossible thing, who would sacrifice their lives?"

"I don't know Sam, that was why I needed to talk with Damien, I wished the sacrifice was to be done by a witch instead, I would have gladly laid down my life to save him"

"Do Eric know that you're aware of this information because he would definitely try to stop even a one percent chance, if we have any" I shook my head, "Eric does not know, for now, he still thinks I'm totally in the dark"

"Okay, just go back and keep acting, I'll go and look for Damien".

"Where have you been?" Eric inquired the moment I showed up, "I went to see Sam" he eyed me suspiciously, "why?"

"Do I need an excuse to see my sister?" He sighed, "of cause not, I was just worried about you"

"You do not need to worry about me, I am fine"

"What's up with you, you don't seem yourself " his gaze grew more suspicious and I groped in my mind to think of what to say in order to divert his attention"

"I... I'm just tired and also, I'm thinking of going away"

"What!"

"Yeah, I have avenged .my mother's death, he's dead right? You said he won't survive the dagger, are you sure there's no way he would survive?" He averted his eyes, staring at everywhere but me, "sure, he won't survive it, he's dead"

How can he be so cruel and not even an iota of guilt for using me so wickedly to kill an innocent man, a man I love, I felt like killing him right now but I need to make sure I give him a befitting death, I have to look for that book, "a hundred ways to kill a wizard" and master the spells in it.

"Are you alright?" He asked, observing me closely, I nodded, "I'm just tired"

"Where would you go if you leave here"

"I don't know, I'll figure it out when the time comes" I wished I could leave here already, just go to somewhere peaceful and happy with Dylan, I stifled a sob at the thought that he was currently on the brinks of death, I wondered if Samantha was able to get to Damien, "oh, moon goddess, please save him, save my love please".

I got in and quickly brought out the book, 'How to kill a wizard's " yeah, this was exactly what I want, killing Eric might prove challenging because he is a wizard and might also have a few ace up his sleeve, but I won't give him a chance, although, I wondered why he would have such book in his house, I opened the book and started reading, "what did I just read" I felt a jolt in my heart at the revelation, I shook my head and read it once more to be sure I wasn't seeing things, damn, to kill him, all I need is the presence of three supernatural forces, a witch, a werewolf and a vampire, then I'll put at least three of his personal belongings in the circle of an orc that I will draw on the ground, the forces will keep dancing round the circle while I chant the seven keys mantras, we'll have to dance around the circle seven times and then, I'll place his belongings in the circle with a soul gathering orb, and chant some more, the soul gathering orb will receive his soul and trapped it in there and then that will be the end of him but this knowledge wasn't what had me shaken, Eric had lied to the Alpha, the blood from the heart of a werewolf cannot cure Dylan, it would only worsen his condition, the only cure for him is Eric's death, if I kill him right in the presence of anyone he made a spell on, the person will be free after his death. Damn, what mistake have I made, Sam must be on her way to Damien, I have to stop her, I stood up to go but stopped on my track, Eric was standing at the door looking very furious, "going somewhere?" He asked as he came in and shut the door firmly behind him.

Samantha's POV

I had to deliver Ariana's message to Damien but I haven't seen him since the day of the incident, I know that he's deeply worried about his friend but I wish he could just let me be there to comfort him, he was always there for me when I needed him the most, he had saved my life and had changed me in more ways than one, he had helped me get rid of all of my anger and hatred and made me find myself, that's why, I would do anything for him and that's why, I had taken the risk if coming to his house, if saving Dylan will bring cheers to him once more, I am willing to help out. Although I have been here for over an hour but seemed like he wasn't going to return anytime soon from where he is, maybe I should go around to look for him, I started walking in the direction of where I felt we ran to on the day we were being shot at, "it's dangerous to roam about you know" his voice said from behind me, I gasped in surprise and turned around, "where the heck have you been?"

"What the hell are you doing here?" We said at the same time.
