Chereads / THE POWER OF A BERTHIM / Chapter 38 - CHAPTER 38

Chapter 38 - CHAPTER 38

Some of the other Happons asked us to look for their scent too and we only nodded , not wanting to give our disguise away by talking to them . Since we were inside the spirit of a demon and these demons had put the locking spell on , we could easily get out without having to use any of my magic . "ut ex " The demon unhooked itself from us and moved back to the carving .

"What if Luke is actually alive inside of the demon and the demon will only live if it consumes people with unfinished business and vengeance or something ?" Ben started talking as soon as we started walking back to my house . I didn't actually know but if Luke was alive , I would be more than happy to bring him back and see both him and dad be happy together . Seeing a sulky , sad father everyday wasn't a mood booster .

While walking , Fighter joined us . He had been locked out when he was about to defend me and I couldn't get any kind of help from him . I hugged him and Ben stood shocked because even he didn't think that I would make friends with a black panther when I was trying to save him .

We reached back home and it was then that I remembered that I had to make up with Cora and Nathaniel . Dad came out as soon as he heard the sound of our feet being dragged on the brick made front porch . "Hey. " Ben said . He was really awkward with dad so he didn't even wait for him to reply back and ran inside to his room .

Dad smiled back awkwardly too . "He had talked fine the first time we met but after telling that the room he got in was wrong , he had changed completely ." Dad didn't know what happened in my room when he entered at the wrong time but I didn't intend on embarrassing him more . "I don't know either ." I acted clue less and got in while he closed the door . "So what happened? You didn't even ask for our help . We were fully clueless and helpless at the same time . Please don't put us in that situation again , it's really uncomfortable." Nathaniel had started talking to me before I had even seen him coming from the left side of the door that led us to Beth's guest room .

In between all the hustle and bustle , I had completely forgotten to look into Beth's well being . I had saved her along with Nath and yet I hadn't seen her after she started making great progress in her recovery . I excused myself after apologising from him and entered Beth's room . "Who are you?" Beth asked when she saw me entering the room . I didn't understand because the last time I saw her , she still remembered me . Was this some kind of prank or did she have problems with her memory ?

It was at that moment that I wished that Jed was still alive . He may have done something to her and even Beth didn't know because her memories are lost .

Cora came in at the right moment and said , "She lost her memory of ever meeting any creature other than witches from her memory by about 3 or 4 hours ago . We have no idea why . " The next second Nathaniel came into the room with his phone held high his hand .

"Marge is in some kind of weird pain . It's increasing each hour from the past 3 to 4 hours or so ." I felt like all of this was inter-related . As I remembered , I had gone through a lot of pain when I looked into Marge's life story . She said that she didn't know why it pained and I also thought that I would find out more about it eventually when the time was right because we were in the middle of a different problem right then .

We didn't know the reason for anything that was happening around us . The only thing we felt like we had to rush for was to find a solution for Marge . Her pain was increasing and she may die if it passes her limits .

Cora , Nath , and I drove to over to Marge in his house while dad looked after Beth as usual . I insisted that we take Beth with us so that he could come with us but he did the same back to me saying that Beth would be safer if she doesn't roam around other places when her memories are lost .

When we reached the porch of the house , Marge was already walking out of the house clutching her chest , looking like she was about to give up . I jumped out of the car before it even stopped so that then I would be able to help Marge . "Rene , I have a pretty guilty confession to make ."

After doubting her once , I hadn't even thought of doubting her for anything else and we were on good terms , especially on social media . We couldn't meet often so I could only reply to her on social media when she posted something related to her cooking or something .

"What are you guilty for ? you can say that on our way to the doctor ." But she held my hand , keeping me from entering the car , where Nathaniel and Cora was waiting impatiently , revving the car . "This can't be solved by a mere doctor because it's not health issue. " By this time , Cora had rolled down the car window and all three of us were confused . If she didn't have pain because of health problems , why did she have pain . Was she hiding actually hiding something serious from us all this while , or she just don't like going to the doctor , not understanding what situation we are in ?

"Look Marge , this is not the time to be childish about something , We are really worried about you . Now get in the car , we will only have a small health check up and then we can see whether it can be cured by a doctor or not ." I replied to her and was half way into pushing her into the car when she said , "I'm a Happon too ."
