Asher's Pov

" Sorry for what ? " I asked .

" I was the one who reported about your existence to the elders " she said while sobbing.

" Why did you tell them ? "

" I couldn't accept that we're over so I told them "

" I can't believe you " I walk away from her and go to the garden.

" Wait up, Ash " Tori catch up with me.

" You don't need to follow me, Tori. Just leave me alone "

" Everyone needs someone by their side when they're not okay. I promise I'll be quite "

" Fine. I feel so betrayed that she did that and she doesn't even need to face the consequence of her own action " she hug me while I am crying.

" Don't tell me anyone about this. I am not one who's generous with giving hugs "

" And I am not even angry at her because I still have feelings for her "

" Take this as a sign to end your feelings for her, Ash "

" I'll start to move on. Thank you for the hug, Tori " I parted away from her hug.

" Don't mention it. Besides, I will help you with dealing the consequence "

" I appreciate the help "

Meanwhile

" What's taking them so long ? " Astoria wondered.

" There they are " Rick pointed to Victoria and Asher walking together.

" Thank you for your help. But, we can continue without you now " Victoria said to Cynthia.

" I am always happy to help " Cynthia responded.

" And you may return back to work " Victoria give a sharp glare to Dalia.

" How am I supposed to go back ? "

" My driver will take you there "

Once Cynthia and Dalia are gone, everything is silent.

" We should split up " Victoria break the silence.

" What do you mean split up ? " Rick asked in confusion.

" I will go to the mayor's office with Astoria while Asher and Rick warn the other wizards "

" Sounds like a plan to me "

Rick and Asher go out of Victoria's house while Victoria and Astoria have a chat.

" Have you ever missed being a countess ? " Astoria asked.

" Sometimes. Do you like being a teacher ? "

" It has it's pros and cons. But, mostly cons "

" Remember that we used to switch letters to each other on our friendship anniversary ? "

" I still remember that. Oh, remember when it was raining and my letter was soaked with water "

" Your writing wasn't readable anymore because you didn't put it in an envelope " we laugh at the memories we shared.

" The car has just arrived. We should go "

" I'm right behind you "

We decide to pick a seat next to each other in the car.

" Where to, Ms. Valor ? " the driver asked.

" The mayor's office " Victoria said.

" Do you ever missed your parents ? " Astoria asked.

" Sometimes but mostly my mother "

" Does it have to do with the fact that your father cheated on your mother ? "

" I used to look up to him to be the next countess. But, when I figured out that he cheated on my mother, I stop looking up to him "

" But, he's still your father "

"I know. I wonder how are the guys doing ? "

Meanwhile

Asher's Pov

It is so hard to gather attention of the other wizards. I try my best with Rick to make them look to us but no use. Finally, I get an idea. I use my magic to make fireworks light up. That immediately caught up the other wizard's attention on us.

" Listen everybody, we have important news for all of you " I started out.

" We are no longer safe. A witch reported our existence to their elders which means they're hunting for us " Rick continued.

The reaction we get are different. Some are running here and there panicking, some are silent and some are laughing .

" This must be a joke " one of the wizards said.

" I can assure you that we are being 100 % serious because our very first hiding is completely destroyed "

Everyone is silent after I said that.

" What are we gonna do ? " one of the wizards asked to us.

" The only thing we can do is avoid meeting each other at this place because we don't know where they are " Rick answered.

The other wizards muttered in agreement.

" Don't worry, we're gonna find out who this spy is " I assure the other wizards.

" When can we live together with the witches ? " an innocent little boy asked.

" We don't know about that cause it's up to them " I answered.

" If they want to let us live with them, will we take it ? " the little boy asked another question.

" We will surely take it . Keep up the courage, little fellow " I said.

" I will " he said with a determined look in his eyes.

That fire in his eyes reminded me of myself when I was a little boy.

Victoria's Pov

I open the door to the mayor's office.

" Where is the mayor ? " I asked.
