The Forbidden Touch From the Abyss (EDITING)

Chapter 30

Jule grudgingly followed Zena as they walked along the corridor. They had walked several flights of stairs to the highest one in the castle. On the way Zena decided to take a luxurious double bed from one of the bedrooms. Jule could only imagine what it was for, the witch staying to keep an eye on them.

Jule looked back at the bed floating behind them as well Ace. She just hoped there would be a way out for her and Ace to escape this heel the witch brought them into. When Jule looked back forward, she saw that Zena was staring at her. The witch didn't say anything, but only stared intently. Jule knew the woman was studying her, it was blatant. Zena finally took her eyes away, and continued the walk in silence.

When they finally stopped in front of the door at the very end of the hallway, Zena opened it and entered. When they door first swung opened, the first thing Jule felt was chills. It was cold. Jule slowly entered the room, along with the bed and Ace behind her. It was dark, the room was very dark.

Jule could see a single thing in the room, even as the door was opened. It scared Jule, and she was never afraid of the dark. She still wasn't, it was the fact she couldn't see Zena at all scared her. For all she knew, the witch would come up and snatch her. Or worse.

Jule turned to see Ace, and of course, she couldn't see him. Great. She was in a room a pitch black room, and can do nothing to help herself in it. It felt like that tunnel of the Lady in the Black on George's Island all over again. That field trip terrified her, and now this.

Jule figured she could go back to the entrance, and try to see Ace from there. Only, she didn't get that chance. The door suddenly slammed shut, and light flooded into the room. Jule looked to where the light was coming from, and there was a window. The sun shone through the window and into the room.

Zena stood next to it, she held a smirk on her face. Jule took her eyes off the witch, and looked around. The room was absolutely empty, there was not a single thing in it. Jule shook her head in disbelief, surely Overlord wouldn't let her rest in a room like this for the night.

When she looked at the witch, Zena's hand swung from side to side. Jule widened her eyes, afraid that the witch would do something rash. Jule tried looking around for anything suspicious, she even clutched herself by wrapping her arms around her. She looked at Zena, and the witch was only looking up.

Oh gosh. Jule slowly followed her gaze, cringing her body in case anything would happen to her. Nothing happened for a brief moment, nothing but Jule's lips trembling. Noises were suddenly sounded, and the ceiling looked as thought it were spinning. Jule thought for a moment she may be seeing things, but she knew better when it came to this world.

The ceiling spinner rapidly, and it frightened Jule entirely. She was afraid the ceiling would suddenly topless down her. Though she knew Overlord would never allow, it didn't Zena would really stop on his behalf. She had this distinct feeling that Zena held much more power than Overlord does.

The ceiling came to a stop, it was no longer spinning. Jule would've sighed in relief if she didn't know there was a catch. In this world, this would be one of those moments when she would say "It's too good to be true." Jule waited anxiously for something too happen, she knew Zena wasn't just done yet.

Jule heard a sudden laughter, it sounded beautiful, but she knew who the person was, so it wasn't. She looked back at Zena to see the woman laughing as she thrust her finger up in the air. Jule shrieked, and fell to the floor at the thunderous sound that had just sounded deafeningly.

Jule watched above, astounded. The cone ceiling stood up, it was no longer attached to the castle. The ceiling floated up, and up until it was seen as a dot. Jule saw in distance, bats fluttering out ceiling, flying away hastily.  Afterwards, the ceiling came into a better view, it was coming back. Jule was expecting the thundering sound again, but that didn't happen. The land was much softer, it shocked Jule.
