Luke's replica slowly walked towards us and I stepped up in front of Ben . "Idcirco praecipio tibi ut reverteretur in domum tuam, diaboli? Et si Audrie nolueris vocem fuerit poenas!" What Luke chanted last had made some kind of sense to me . It was definitely Latin so I translated my own spell to Latin . I repeated it , over and over . The same thing that happened when Luke chanted happened again . Luke's form had started to desiccate and grew longer . I feared that it would turn into my replica and kill me too but thankfully , it transformed completely into the shadow we saw at first and returned back to the broken carving . We expected Luke to come back but the blood we saw , I didn't want to waste time on waiting for something that wasn't going to come .
Another surprising thing was that I didn't know that I would be able to make spells and apply them successfully . The carving had merged itself into it's originally unbroken shape . Even though I wasn't close with Luke , he was a really warm hearted person , probably my father's only friend that travelled from quite some time .
"Ben , we need to leave here as soon as we can." I didn't need to explain why because the mansion was breaking down , both of us could see it. That place must have been reorganized and furnished by Luke so when he died , his magic was wearing off from the world. The renovation was going down and even the bricks were powdering itself . It was amazing , the amount of magic he had used for this . But it was sad that we couldn't even appreciate him for it .
We made it back to the car after I actually created crude oil , which could replace the original gasoline till we got back home . The carving seemed dangerous so whoever lost it would definitely come back to look for it . So instead of going straight back home , I told dad that I would be late and went back to the scene again . It was sunset now , because of the long drive from the mountains .
We hid ourselves in between thee trees that were around the mountain like height the three men were last scene . It was dark now . It was true that 4 days had passed but the fact that the owner of the carving hadn't taken it still was what made me feel like he would come back .
I checked the time and it was 12'o clock at midnight . "Are you positive that we should keep on staying here ?" Ben asked when he saw the time . I was about to reply when we heard shuffling sounds from a little below us . We didn't know who they were but wanted to see what was happening . Being as much as careful as we could be , we started walking down along the steep slopes .
The closer we got , the more the situation seemed serious . At first , we heard muffled voices of a girl , a man was telling her to shut up and be silent . We would've thought that it was a cute couple making out if we hadn't heard her sniffle and beg him to leave her alone . They obviously weren't the people we were waiting for but I simply couldn't leave a crime like raping alone ! I marched towards them , making the man flinch because of the sudden sound of movement . I was quick enough to stop him from escaping . He struggled with me to move himself away from me and run but I wouldn't even let him move his wrist around in between my grasp . The girl cried out and slid herself down on the tree she was pinned on . I didn't want her to feel threatened by him in her future life so I snapped his neck without hesitation , right in front of her . She looked up in shock when she heard the sound of his neck cracking and shrieked .
thought that she would have felt more calm if she knew that he died but I guess there was no use . "Y--You killed him ! You know that he's not the only one like this! Killing him doesn't stop people like him completely !" She resumed crying again . I sat down beside her and patted her back to support her . After a few minutes , she stopped crying and thanked me and Ben for saving her . "I'm Jennie." We shook hands . "What were you doing here at a time like thi-" I covered her mouth when I heard shuffling from ABOVE the mountain this time .
Jennie looked confused but since she already saw me killing with no problem , she decided to stick with me instead of running away . We stood still and moved upwards . "Why are we moving towards and not away from the sound ?" Jennie whisper shouted once she realized where we were headed . "THIS is why we came here , Jen ." I replied but I didn't expect a chuckle as a response from her . "I like my new nickname . "
We had reached to the top of the mountain and I looked over to see a man with a black hoodie walking all over the place , as if looking for something . He looked like our guy , alright . We didn't know whether the carving was the only thing supernatural about people like them , or if they had something else , the 'else' being themselves . So we couldn't exactly jump scare and startle them .
I looked around to see if he had bought his buddies . I couldn't believe that we had one of our enemies right n front of our eyes yet we were unable to catch them .
It was decided that we would not kill him or anything but , keep him hostage to know about the others . We stepped outside and called out , "Hey ! You looking for something really important ?"
The man looked behind him as soon as he heard my voice . "W-What do you want? Why did you come here lady ?" He was trying really hard to look like he belonged there but unfortunately , it didn't work on us .
