Chereads / THE POWER OF A BERTHIM / Chapter 57 - CHAPTER 57

Chapter 57 - CHAPTER 57

Nate ran towards us but it was no use cause we had already left his place . The palace like house felt different from when I was a prisoner than when we broke in .

"Thank god that you're back ! We were so damn distressed because of you ! " Beth had already embraced me tightly , while the rest joined her . After some emotional talk , I looked at dad .

"We need a talk , am I right dad ? I had no idea what happened that night when you almost DIED because of me !"

Of course , dad hadn't kept that part of our break in a secret from anybody so he openly let me aside while the others were still discussing something serious . It must have been whatever they found at Nate's place .

I was satisfied when he didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point of our talk . " It's nothing complicated really . I almost died , that was true . But I would only have truly perished if I had turned completely into nothing . Thankfully , Nate and you could get out in time with me . I only needed some time to recover back to life . I could still hear you tho . You wouldn't have been able to bring anybody back to life because then , you would've had to sacrifice your own life . "

I told him everything about Nate , that he thought I was actually just human , and how Cora had helped me making his believes of me be true .

When we went back , I saw everybody discussing very seriously . The time for being emotional was over . My heart warmed up when I saw Beth talking freely with the others , having a serious expression on her face than a blank face .

"So , What'd I miss ?"

Kate filled me in , "The documents we got from Nate's house were very informative . Nate has a person , who can actually take out supernatural people who had bad blood in them ."

"Bad blood ? What do you mean by that ?" I asked .

"Some people with supernatural abilities have evil in them . Not everything are completely advantageous . You know both good and bad Kitsunes , right ? You also know that some Happons are on the bad side and some are on the good side . This way , all creatures are either bad or good , there's no in between . What Nate's paper say's is that he had gotten the creature , called Sirens . "

I processed as fast as I could and replied , "Yeah , I had heard about them in movies . So what do they really do ?"

Cora replied this time , " They can read minds , mind control you , etc . I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing but , there's only one Siren in this world . The only way to kill it is by using a bronze dagger dipped in the blood of someone that he or she infected . Sirens are really pretty but their real face can be seen in mirrors . We don't know if the siren is good or bad , but it can choose it's side . We need the siren to choose the good side and he or she can sing her siren song and mind control all supernatural creatures , making the evil one's to take their own lives . "

"So basically ,we need the siren alive . And we have no idea if she had already chosen her side . We don't know what Nate plans to do with her . Aren't we more clueless than ever ?"

It was good thing than we had a definite answer for us to wipe out evil creatures from the world . We now knew Nate's major move but what was Fredrick's ?

It was decided that Nath , Marge , and Beth would try to find solutions for our first problem while Dad , Kate , Cora and I would try to find out the other persons move .

I had a little bit of a trouble trusting myself because I didn't want to be caught like last time , OR put someone in danger .

Thankfully , even though Fredrick was rich , the place where he actually stayed wasn't as huge as Nate's . It wasn't exactly night time . The sun was slightly visible and it send little rays of sun . When we reached his house , there were no securities or anything , as you would've expected from a rich businessman .

The front door was wide open but we weren't foolish enough to barge in through there ! We walked around the house , careful not to be spotted . The backdoor was unlocked . Everything seemed like it was sketched , made right for us to sneak in .

What did he think we'd do ? Don't take the bait and find another less obvious entrance , or take the doors and barge right in . I didn't know how to be unexpected . For all I knew , he could be expecting both . I was kind of thankful that he made it so obvious .

Or did he make it that obvious to make us ponder so much and then back out from breaking in that day ? It suddenly came to my mind that he was indeed famous . I took my phone out , which I made sure I had , unlike last time . I smiled in victory when I saw that Fredrick was outside New Hersey because of some charity event . He really needed to keep his image .

Fredrick was indeed human , I knew in an instant because NO supernatural person would make it that obvious . Happy that I had decided to look in on everything , I walked towards the door . All this while , I hadn't talked a single word to Kate , dad , and Cora . "Are you SURE , Rene ? What if he expects us through this door though ?" Kate said .

I chuckled , "It's okay , because he expects us to go back . "

Cora shouted , "What !? "

I took my phone out and showed then the news of Fredrick being out of his place. They relaxed their tensed up muscles on their face . "Let's go in then , shall we ?"

My blood was boiling with excitement because now I didn't have to be worried about being caught because our rival was off guard , we had caught what he was trying to do to us . Nate was the only one who could've possible given the message to someone else because both were indeed working against us .

I turned back to Cora , "Wait , call Beth . Now . And dad , call Nath and ask him to ask this question too ."

I told him the question that both Beth and I had agreed upon to be asked . I didn't want him to make it even harder for us to move forward than it already was .

I heard Beth answer from the other end of Cora's phone , "That's a weird question to ask me , you know . How would I know whether she has moles on her stomach."

"I ran to dad's phone and said , "Nath , take Beth to her room and lock her there . Only let her out when I say so . Nate's in her body right now ."
