Bewitch Me [Book 1 & 2, The Witch's Fate]

Chapter Thirty Three- No more cinderella

God! My parents!

They'd so ground me for life!

I shed quiet tears as I heard Xander's laugh from the distance but I didn't dare open my eyes so I could concentrate on taking us home safely.

Minuet kept meowing, but this time they sounded weak and more quiet than before.

He's sounding very weak now, I've to get home faster...

"Keep breathing Minuet, you're gonna be fine...I promised that in the beginning and I'll make sure that happens". I pleaded with small sobs cuddling him closer for comfort.

Almost home, I can feel it..

It felt like I was travelling back in time and being teleported at the same time into some unknown glowing space.

Almost-

I was almost about entering into the unknown- when something heavy and soul-crushing dug fiercely into my leg, forcing me to open my eyes widely.

I let out a pained scream as another pain shot into my legs- this time the shackles Xander was earlier holding, gripped the bare skin on my thigh and cut off some skin.

How's that possible!

Struggling to maintain my balance, I spotted someone- no... two shadows standing at a dark corner of an abandoned alleyway.

Then like a quick vision, the first shadow's face shimmered under the moonlight and I forgot to breathe for once.

Foxy?

Besides her was the very person I ran away from.

W-what?

I gasped as the shackles dug deeper into my flesh, causing my blood to spill down to the earth below me.

Before I knew it, I was going down headlong, whatever spell they had used on me definitely paralyzed me this time, but at least Minuet was still safe in my arms even though I wasn't.

This is it...

I was now few metres above the ground when suddenly Minuet started wriggling in my arms. The crackling sound of bones rearranging reached my ears, making me to panic at what was happening to him.

When I locked eyes with the black cat, he gave me a mischievious grin and leaped out from my arms.

A scratchy shout escaped my lips when Minuet's fur exploded in the air into tiny bright sparkles of dust and energy. Minuet? What happened to him?

I was now dangerously close to the ground, when I suddenly felt a pair of strong arms around my arms against a firm body.

I looked up to see a dangerously attractive beast staring besides me and vexing with rage. Unlike Minuet, he had amber golden eyes, large fangs, grey thick fur, large claws and a huge massive stature like a wild dog- but more of a wolf or something.

His lips was pulled back into a deep snarl and growl, revealing a few mouthful of his threatening fangs.

Is this...Minuet!?

Or is this the other shadow that saved me before?!

"Don't let go of me..". The strange beast growled, not meeting my eyes for once.

"W-what?". Before I could ask anything else, he slammed his fist into the ground, causing the other hunters stumble to their feet from the impact.

I held on to this beast for my dear life as he made few spins and combats in the air before slicing through the attached shackles from my thigh with his claws. It hurts so bad, especially as my body is going numb! I wish I could help him.
