Mystical Mutant {Editing}

Chapter 61

FIONA's POV 
"Yeah..." Louis replied, his eyes narrowed down. "Nick, can you get her a slipper?" he nodded then returned with a black slipper. 

Louis gestured for me to sit, he lowered himself and raised the slippers to my feet. "I think this belongs here," he slipped the diamond ring on my middle finger.
...
I just finished my breakfast when I received a text from a private number, it read "Fiona, let's meet on the riverside." I never got Louis' contact after I changed my phone so I suspected it must be him. 

"Why would he change the venue? He said we should meet in the park yesterday" I said internally.

I wondered if Louis had something to say to my Mom, it didn't matter, she couldn't brainwash me this time. I left in a black shirt, bootcut jeans and shoes. 
...
I took off my shoes to feel the warmth, the wind whistled through the trees and waves broke on the shore. I breathed in the fragrance of a serene environment.

I thought it was best to tell Mother where I stand now, it's up to her to accept it or not. I was about to move closer when footsteps like an army of elephants surrounded me.

The men in black clicked their guns "Freeze" My heart jumped to the right side of my chest. 

I predicted their number to be thirty from the corner of my eyes. I slowly raised my hands. "We met again." They made a way as a tall blonde man walked in, I never wanted to see that face for a long time.

"I was starting to wonder why Louis was attached to this country" He looked around then continued "I'm impressed he came to his senses and texted your location," he said in his baritone voice. 

My heartbeat echoed as time froze for a second "W-what are you saying? Louis will never do that!" my eyes glistened as he raised his phone as evidence "This is his last message. It's all about the money." 

I wanted to believe the opposite but the evidence... it can't be "If you surrender we won't hurt you, otherwise, I wouldn't hesitate to blast your brain," he said. 

I darted to the footsteps coming from the forest, Louis' eyebrows rumpled at the scene "How? Why're you here?" 

The blonde man tapped his shoulders with a smile "I received your text, smart move" Louis arced a brow "What text?"

Griffin slow-clapped and moved closer "Great, so everyone got my texts. Let's start the party" The men at the left diverted their guns "Freeze"

"I wouldn't do that if I were you, it's metal" He smiled as the guns pointed to their heads. "Griffin, what's going on? Explain" I half-yelled. 

"I sent a text to the Walters, I had to use you as bait cuz they're obsessed with you" he shrugged. 

"Why would you do that?" I inhaled. Griffin smiled, "to kill them, imagine a world free of mystic hunters. As the last mystical people we should put weaker creatures in their places!" he frowned 

"I will cleanse the world of the disease called humans. Starting with the influential ones," he grinned at their direction. 

"Griffin stop! We're not like them, you're better than this. Don't abuse your power, not all of them are bad" I frowned. 

Griffin's smile vanished "You're testing my patience, you're either with me or with the humans. Win or lose?"

I shook my head and stared at him, "This isn't right, I won't let you kill innocent people." Griffin's laugh echoed "You choose to protect those who want you dead? Bad choice but don't worry, I'll grant you your death wish" He transformed and punched my face.
