The Boy in Love With a Witch

Chapter 46

We walked behind him further into the jungle for a few minutes when I gathered up the courage to ask him his name.

"Name's Chris, short for Christopher." He replied. "What's yours?" He asked.

"Well, I'm Harry Styles and this is my girlfriend Elise Park." I replied.

"Your girl?" He said looking back at us from the corner of his eye. "Nice." He said.

Soon, we approached a wooden cabin in the woods. It was small with one window through which the light shined. He opened the door and asked us to get in first. As we entered, I looked around to find one small bed at one corner and a chair near the window. There was nothing much over there. No food, nothing. What could he offer us?

Just then, I felt something heavy hit the back of my head. Blackness started to cover my eyes as I heard another thud, before I fell to the ground, unconscious.

---

I slowly opened up eyes. Looking around, I realised that I was still in that cabin. I tried to move but my hands were tied behind my back, as well as my feet. I looked to my side and found Elise in the same condition as I was, just unconscious.

"Elise." I whispered.

She gave no response.

"Elise." I whispered again and this time her eyes fluttered open.

She looked around her and then at me.

"Harry." She said sliding closer to me.

Just then, the door of the cabin opened and Chris walked in.

"Oh, my guests are awake." He said in a sarcastic tone with a resting bitch face.

"Why are you doing this?" I shouted at him.

"I didn't stuff your mouth with fabric because I knew no matter how much noise you make, you won't be heard because there is no one out there who could help you." He said in an American accent.

"What do you want from us?" Elise spoke in a low and gentle voice.

"Let's make a deal." He said.

"What deal?" I raised my voice in anger.

"Let me keep her and I'll let you go." He said pointing towards Elise.

"What? No! Never! You touch her and I'll kill you." I was enraged.

"Really? Let's see if you can do that." He said and walked over to Elise who was beside me.

He gave her a perverted look while she looked calm and confident. I felt my body heat up with anger. I wanted to beat him to death. Elise gave him a smile and just then, the chair that was near the window came flying towards Chris and hit him on his head, knocking him unconscious.

"Elise!" I shouted as the chair shattered into pieces.

With in a moment, my hands and feet were untied and so were Elise's. She got up and walked over to Chris, placing her hand over his head.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"Erasing his memory." She said.

"What? You can do that?" I asked in disbelief. 

"Yes." She said as she focused on her hand.

"Done." She said. "Let's go." She grabbed my hand and we ran out of the cabin.

We ran until we reached the place where we encountered Chris. It was dark in the woods.

"Elise, how did you do all of that?" I asked still being too stunned.

"I'm a witch. Have you forgotten?" She said coolly.

"But, you can't use your powers to hurt others. That's evil." I told her.

"I did not use my powers to hurt him. I used them in our defence." She made her point.

Just then we heard our friends calling out our names. We ran in the direction of the sound shouting back at them. We ran until we saw a few lights. The lights grew closer with sounds and there they were, all of them, with torch lights looking for us. We both ran towards them with open arms and hugged each of them.

"Where have you guys been?" Louis asked.

"We have been looking for you all over the place." Summer said as she and Daisy held Elise close to them.

"We got kidnapped." Elise spoke.

"What?" They all gasped.

On our way back to the guest house, Elise made up a false story of how we got kidnapped and then how I showed my bravery and strength to beat the shit out of him and helped her escape from that cabin.

"You are a brave lad, Harry." Louis patted me on the shoulder.

"Well done." Niall said.

"You are a hero." Summer commented.

Deep down inside, I felt bad for taking all the credit as Elise was the one who helped us get out of there. None of them knew that she was a witch and for that, she had to lie to them about the whole situation.

---

"Thank you." I said to Elise once we were in our room.

"For what?" She asked.

"For saving me. I mean, both of us." I said.

"There's no need to say thank you." She said kissing my cheek and I felt a electricity pass through her into my cheek.

"Any idea who he was?" I asked curiously.

"No. I just felt that strange feeling. The same one when I saw Cameron." She spoke.

"Cameron? Did you encounter him after your last one?" I asked.

"No. I didn't." She said. 

"Can this guy, Chris, be associated with Cameron?" I asked.

"Maybe." She said shrugging.

---

The next morning, after breakfast, we left the place. I was, yet once again, sad. The time spent with her was short but it was fun. In fact, spending time with all of them was magical. I would miss her again. She would not be there by my side 24/7. We would not share rooms. I would not get to wake up next to her. I would miss all of the moments we spent there in that place. And of course, how can I forget about how we got kidnapped? Thanks to my witch girlfriend that we escaped.
