Love and Hunt

Chapter Twenty-Five

I was still on the sofa when I found out the witch guy that would be my husband. I didn't expect that I would meet with him again. I didn't know if he wasn't a human guy. I didn't know if the girl that would be his wife had been me. I thought I had lost him. I thought I had been brokenhearted by him. But he was there and smiling at me. I met with him again. I could feel the tears going out of my eyes when he was coming to me while my father was still there, standing near the door. I got up from the sofa and stood on my feet. I hugged him when he had been so close to me. I could feel the tears coming down my cheeks. I hugged me as if I didn't want to lose him again.

"Will," I said while looking at him. He was standing in front of me and smiling.

"Nice to see you again, Anna," Will said.

"You didn't tell me," I said.

"Your father banned me from telling you about that." He said. "And I'm sorry if you had to be so upset and sad when I had to leave you on that small bridge in that city garden."

"So, you're a witch?" I said.

"Yeah," He said.

"What about those witches?" I said. "Didn't they hunt you?"

"I think they focused on those people in the city instead of hunting down those witches on your father's side." He said.

"Why you weren't there?" I said. "You didn't fight with us when we tried to stop Jacob from the hunt."

"Your father didn't allow me to join the fight." He said.

"Jacob could escape," I said.

"I know," He said.

Then, I heard the door being opened by my mother. I found Grace, Alex, Adam, and Aaron coming into his house. Then, Mr. Bright followed. I found those witches who were in the fight against that giant earth creature had gathered in this house. I also found other witches whom I was sure they stay in this countryside if those witches on Jacob's side started hunting each of them.

I was surprised by Will when he came to me who was still standing in front of the sofa holding a white small box in his hand. Then, he stopped in front of me who had been so excited as I knew that I was going to get married to him. Then, he opened the white small box for me. I found a beautiful gold ring inside the box. I couldn't be strong enough to hide the happiness and my smile from those witches who had been watching this lovely and unforgettable moment in my life. I saw Will taking that gold ring from that small white box. Then, he took my hand. He put the ring on my ring finger. I felt so happy with that. Seeing this gold ring over my ring finger put me inside the moment that was so wonderful and fascinating. I hardly escaped from the cage that had been made by this moment.

"Thank you," I said. Then, I hugged him. The guy that I had thought I wouldn't meet again as he couldn't get married to me came to me with this gold ring over my ring finger. I could feel so happy at this moment. I thought I had lost him, but I would get married to him.

I was outside. And I found Will outside and standing there with Grace. I kept stepping to get closer to them. My father told me that Grace would show me and Will something. I was so curious about what I would find out with Will from Grace. Then, I stopped in front of them.

"Let's go," Grace said.

I followed Grace from behind with my husband, Will. I held his hand when I thought this moment wouldn't happen because of the incident. I didn't know what thing Grace would show me and Will. When I looked around, I felt like I had left this countryside for many years. I kept looking around under the sunlight with Will. When I looked at Grace, she was still walking to take both of us somewhere. I looked at the empty road while I and Will were still following Grace to the place where she wanted us to visit. When I looked at her back, I was still wondering about what she would give to me and Will or what she would show to me and Will.

I wasn't so far from my house in the countryside. I was next to Will while both of us were looking at the house that was given to me and Will from Grace. It had two floors and four windows. There were those stairs for getting into the house.

"You like it?" Grace said.

"I love it, Grace," I said.

"We like it.' Will said. And I found a smile on her face.

"How could you get that house for us," I said.

"When your father told me that you would get married, so I began to think about the marriage's gift from me." She said. "Then, I remembered about this house. I knew that it still belonged to a human family. So, I tracked them to erase their memory about this house. When I had found them, I deleted the memory from their minds. Well, this is my marriage's gift for both of you."

"Thank you so much, Grace," I said and hugged her with happiness.

I pulled my body from Grace and took Will's hand. I wanted to see inside the house with him. I was glad that the house wasn't so far from my parents' house. So, I could visit them every time without taking a long journey and time. I kept stepping along the way to reach that house with Will. When I looked at him, I knew that I would be in that house with Will as a married couple.

"Thank you, Anna and Will," Elena said while holding his son's hand. "We're so grateful for this."

"Thanks for the compliment, Elena," I said. "Just like what my father has said, we have to be together for the hunt of those witches on Jacob's side."

"And this hunt is to stop them from killing those people in those cities," Will said.

Then, I came to the door of this house. I pulled out the door to see the yard outside. I found those Cerberuses guarding my house and standing over the yard of this house. Then, I heard the steps from behind me. I caught Will standing next to me.

"Those werewolves haven't come to this house yet," Will said.

"Yeah," I said. "But we don't know what Jacob will do for hunting us. And I'm sure they've known that we've been in this countryside."

"I wonder how many Cerberuses can be called by Mr. & Mrs. Bright from their spells," Will said.

"I think it's enough for hunting those witches in this countryside and guarding us from the attacks that will come to us from them," I said. When I looked up, I hadn't seen Adam's Pegasus yet. As I could remember, my father had told Adam to release his Pegasuses for helping those Cerberuses in hunting down those witches in this countryside.

I decided to get out of the house and made for the yard. I was standing in the yard while those Cerberuses were staying alert for any sights from those witches and werewolves.

"I want to help truly," Elena said standing next to me. "But your father doesn't allow me."

"Mr. Stone is worried that you will run out of energy when you use your spell to search those witches and werewolves here, Elena," Will said.

Then, I heard those Cerberuses barking toward something in the air. When I looked up, I found those harpies with spears in their hands. I could see those pointed, big claws on their feet. Those Cerberuses kept barking at all of those harpies staying up there in the air. Then, I caught that Harpy tried to catch one of us. But Elena, Will, and I could dodge away from her big, pointed claws. Then, I saw each of those Cerberuses turning their bodies as big as a house with one floor and as high as a house with one floor. I saw those harpies flying around up there to protect themselves from being cut by those claws from those Cerberuses. But I caught one of the harpies that could get through those Cerberuses and fly down to cut three of us.

"Will!" I said. But he could injure the big and pointed claws from that harpy using those black, long, big, and pointed spikes coming out of his body.

I could see those long, big, and pointed spikes had made those holes in his clothes and being found over his face as well. He looked at that injured harpy. And she was taken down by those bigger Cerberuses. Then, I saw him shoot his black spikes out of his body toward something behind Elena over there. When Elena turned back, two werewolves had been stabbed by his black spikes and died.
