"LET ME GO ! NOW!" The man shouted as soon as Ben took the tape off . I slightly chuckled, "Now , what's your name , mister?" I asked .
He spit to his side and struggled to move around . "restibus me recedere!" He used a spell but of course , because of my spell , his spell didn't work . He actually tried to make the rope move away from him through the spell but I stopped him . After a few more minutes of struggling and other chants , he gave up . "Name's Warner ."
Ben walked up real close to Warner and asked , "What were you looking for on top of the mountain ?"
Both Ben and Warner stared at each other intensely for quite some time so I put my hand between them and snapped them out of it .
Ben stared at me for sometime and them moved away to the corner , acting as if he was mute . "I went there to look for a carving."
Ben's eyes widened and he came to us as if he wanted to tell us something relevant but he just didn't talk anything when we waited for him to talk . "Don't joke around Ben." I turned back to Warner . The next second , Ben poked me so I looked back at him . He didn't talk anything again . "What is wrong with you ? Stop cracking jokes at the wrong time !"
I turned back to Warner again and Ben poked me , AGAIN . This time , I took hold of his hand and looked through what his mind was filled of . He had a lot to say apparently but nothing was clear . SOMEONE had cast a spell on him without chanting out loud . It didn't take long for me to crack who did it . He had stopped talking after staring into WARNER'S eyes for some time . He was a wizard so I couldn't take his magic away from a simple spell . I had to find a special herb for that. This was also in the book that Jasper Kunningman wrote . He wrote that he knew how to find the herb but since he was human ,he was unable to summon and grow the herb .
Because of this , Ben had given himself as a clear bait to let him free . The only advantage was that , when a wizard or witch does a spell by chanting it in his or her mind , they transfer one of their secrets to whatever they were using their spell on . Ben had something that Warner doesn't want any of us or anyone to know so I doubted that even if we ended up freeing Warner to make Ben normal again , he would do that . "Warner , Get Ben back to normal ." I ordered . He smirked at us . "Let me free first." I shook my head .
"We have no kind of reassurance that you will take back your spell ." He chuckled .
"Then I guess you have to wait to see any other way to solve your mystery rival."
He wanted us to be annoyed enough to let him go . "Warner , you should keep in mind that you're the one unable to move here . You better make him normal and we will reconsider our decisions ."
For the next three hours , we just kept on telling each other to do their part first . We didn't even realise that our voices were so loud that dad came to the basement. "Who's this guy ?!" I ran over to him and told him what happened when he was upstairs .
My jaws dropped when he said , "You guys carry on . I'll be upstairs."
Before he could even reach the door , I ran up to him and pulled him back . "What kind of a partner will you be if you don't even help me , JAYDEN?" That was my secret code to let him know that he was on this case too. He sighed . Then took a deep breath . "OK, fine ."
The veins in his body popped up again . He was on vampire mode and I liked it very much . Marching over to an overly petrified Warner , he held his neck and took him off the floor along with the chair , looked him in the eye , and talked . "Take you STUPID spell back from Ben and I can go back . You will meet all those you killed in seconds if you don't."
The superiority in his voice actually made his voice shiver badly . "Y-Yes. Ben , come here ." I had to try so hard to keep the laughter in not because Warner would get cross , but because dad wasn't in a really good mood right then .
Ben walked over and we met with a long silence when the both of them stared at each other . Warner had his head locked with Ben with Ben's hand and after some time , Ben moved away from him . "I can talk!" We were happy but now I needed to know something . I was interrupted by dad when he said , "My work here is done . You carry on the rest . I'm tired."
Everybody understood him so we let him go . "Ben do you have any new information ?" Ben seemed to understand .
"Yes , Rene . Let him go ." I was confused .
"Why would we let this murderer go ? We need to find the others and the reason for their actions !" What I told didn't seem to get into his head because he repeated to let him go again .
I folded my arms, looked him straight in the eye and said , "Please tell me a good reason to follow what you told ."
"He is not one of the murderer . He is just another witness , except , he is a wizard and the actual murderers are something other than wizards or witches . He wanted to check the carving out!" He said as a matter of fact and Warner's jaw dropped . "How did he know ?"
I chuckled at him . "You should probably learn what can happen when you do things . Try to read book s written by Jasper Kunningman ."
He scrunched his face , not knowing who I was talking about .
