Chapter 25 - Jones and his Witch (2)

Jones who had no idea of what happened came back into the tree house and briefly looking for his witch.

"arghhhh!!!J!!" The leaved tangled between her neck that he lose voices. Whether it's good or not, the leaves snapped and she fall again.

Assuming there was kidnapp attempt by a mystical beast since they're close to their territory, he's ready to charge in,

"LITA!" running to the exit, he gasped to see she was about to hit the stone beneath her.

His heart nearly burst due to panick,

without any plan, he jumped and fluttering his wings to save the girl. Jones grabbed one of her feet, she was so scared that she didn't see Jones was trying to save her. She kicked his face making the boy loses his grip.

"you stupid! I told you not to move you idiot!" He ripped her dress due to panick just to lift her small body into his arms.

"you stupid witch! I told you not to move idiot!!" He knuckledon her forehead,

"I'm sorry" she replied and hang on tight on jones waist. The beats she heard from his heart adding the melanchony towards her despair than a stranger is care so much for her, He smells nice, Lailita hugged him back.

"there. Let go of me" said Jones. He checked the condition of her dress. Guess I can't give this back to Latina. Jones pressed the holes from her stomach, they somehow sting so he back off from him.

He checked his fingers, a droplet of scarlet blood was there. My nails must've have hurt her. Well we're equal now so I won't apologize' He still mad what Lailita did to him .

Angry, Lailita's face was gripped while warning her not to do anything drastic again. Because he was worried about Lailita's stupidity,

he calls upon the nature and told trees branches to cuddle even more crowded forming a hut with a single window on it.

"stay inside then you will live" everything became darker just like in the valley of the death. She began to fear the place.

Because a voice echoed again, that they will come when the darkness arouse.- He left.

MARG (the land of fallen fairies)

"careful Petra, I'll be going first okay?" Cain placed his palm on Petra's shoulder. Petra patted his head telling his brother everthing will be fine. They're inside the circle of the crafted magis stone.

"I have a bad feeling. Can I stay?" He hushed Cain. When he saw Brian coming out of the valley with basket full of fireworks. Petra force Cain to go home with him.

"what about you?" Brian asked deliberately.

"I left one trap unchecked. If I don't get it today, my family wouldn't have enough food."

Petra let go of Cain's hand.

A year after Lailita's disapperances the villagers have trouble in securing their crops. The sky was darkened every months losing its brightnesd along with the moon.

The clouds won't budge during full moon. As if Marg cried for her death somewhere in the valley. It hadn't stopped raining ever since.

Laila was also became quieter. The villagers are afraid that she will die as well because she carried a rare blood.

Coincidentally, the story of a chosen was revoked among the villagers. It was done by Kaali. He did it to avenged Lailita and the fallen victims in Marg. He and Jasom agreed to challenge the elders abd escape from Marg. As Kaali's son also had a witch blood.

"don't you think Lailita was one of the chosen one?" Brian didn't answer him right away.

"why did we have to know about this now? If we knew about it sooner, do you think how many lifes we can prorect?" Petra stared at his brother. Is his brother one of them.

"how can you believed those rumor child? how can we dwell outside of this village? there's no life forces outside" He wouldn't dare to say Brian was lying or not since he's one of the elder.

"those thing eat someone with magis right? they only can be kill with magis, how can we escape this place if the only left are the one whose magis-less?" The conversation was at it peak that Petra didn't realize he had wasted time.

"who said we are magis-less? it's just dissapear," Brian whispered inti his ear.

"Those demons devoured it underground while we're sleeping, how did you think they grew bigger?" When Brian done whispering to him, Petra was staring at Brian and he has a goosebump.

He thought to himself, Why did he forget that Brian was a human? why didn't he died yet? hasn't he aged when he's been here three decades ago?

"what is your secret?" Petra grabbed Brian's hand. Brian didn't expected the outcome.

"what secret?" Petra is a quick witted one, si he needs to answer him with his question, with another question.

"How did you alive until now?" Petra felt the increasing of heartbeat from Brian's wrist.

"Are you questioning my race of being a human?" Brian laughed. He pulled his hand. But the way he avoided Petra's stare and his nervousness, he was so obvious.

"you're not one of us?" He let go of his grip while pretending to be shocked of what he heard from Brian.

"what?" Brian stuttered.

"It's strange-" said Petra again.

"what strange brother?" Asked Cain.

"He's not die, but it's okay I think the demon really not interested in someone whose magis-less. But it strange to think Brian is still alive to this day without magis right Cain?" Petra take his brother from Brian.

"Now that you mention it, almost my friends died when they went to the valley with Brian, didn't they loses their magis? Didn't demons eat the chosen one (magis) only" Brian gulped.

"I didn't know Brian is a human.. wow, I didn't know human and fairy looked the same.. can the monsters do it to?" Cain waited for Petra to answer him.

"I don't know" He shield Cain from Brian and intended to go home.

"are you going home brother? what about food?" Petra shooking his head.

"It's getting dark, and I think it will rain soon" Cain was walking too slow, while petra was shivering leaving their conversation spot.

How can a normal human frigtnened him to tbis extend? How did Brian ended up here by the way? did he forgot about that? How?

"sister Lailita was magis-less correct? but why did she disappear? did the demons eat eat her?" Petra was stunned and so did Jenny who was passing by.

Jenny is not a bad girl all the way down, She had change this whole year after her cousin's vanish. She hated herself not to apologise sooner, if she did Lailita wouldn't dared to went into the Valley.

"Petra!" Jenny pulled him over to her side when Brian walk to them. Just because he was smiling, the children could felt the madness that leaking out of his soul. Petra was sweating.

"Kids! what are you doing down there! it's getting dark!" They were standing still like a puppet for a couple of minutes,

So Kaali threw a log targeting Jenny's and Petra's feets because they seemed be to out of it.

"Brian get them out of there!" He shouted again.

"brother?" Petra shush Cain as fast as he can. He regretted talking to Brian and how talkavite Cain was.
