Chereads / the war goddess / Chapter 23 - 23:FEAR

Chapter 23 - 23:FEAR

dean just sat there looking at aleksis putting all the blame on herself ,he didn't know how to comfort a shattered woman ,like what should he say ? ohh i am so sorry for your loss ,nope too bland .

he sighed and ran his hand through his hair , he should have erase that particular memory it would mar her for life this he knew quite well ,people like her are too kind ,too faint hearted but too bad she will be seeing a lot more of violence very soon ,the better she get used to it ,the easier for her

" boss,i...i..i want to quit "she won't be able to forgive herself first of all she needs to quit ,working in that place would only make her feel guilty

"like seriously?" yea ,his surprised voice gave him away maybe he is not that heartless she wants to quit? wow ,he didn't see that coming. she needs to be close to him now more than ever how can he protect her if she stay far away from him ,gosh,women and their weak heart ,so annoying

" i don't think i will be able to erase his memories and i also think it is time to face my fears -" she sat down on the bed dejectedly " the red haired woman was annoyingly right " from the start she knew the woman was right,not the woman specifically but her words ,all her life she had always relied on people for hope and comfort

first it was her mum then bella ,yes bella is her friend but she couldn't deny the fact that she had always hid behind her ,enjoying the support clouded upon her by her best friend

she once thought the world is a bed of roses ,full of peace ,beauty ,Good people and also people who turned bad due to certain circumstances but God damn her to think such nonsense anymore

" i never knew you are such a weakling miss Xander " dean said ,the only way to keep her closer

and safe is to tell her everything she needs to know and train her in the possible way

" what do you mean?" aleksis asked curtly with a look that says ' what in God name are you talking about?' .if he is about to rub salt on her wound then he shouldn't blame her for wagging her sharp tongue on him ,she sighed internally,anyways that is all she can do .

" he was your friend right? now tell me, are you just going to run home and mourn his death for a day or maybe two -" he failed to make his words in any way friendly,and the cold glare seared through her as he fiddle with his thumb"-let me remind you that his killers are out there free and alive without any guilt what happened to 'Justice' or is this just a case of' let the dead bury the dead' you and i know who the perpetrators are ; of course you know them more than me .."

" cut the slack and go straight to the point !" aleksis snarled " what are you trying to insinuate ,Mr dean?"

" lets work together to apprehend the evil doers , i will also tell you everything you needs to know " he omitted the part where she roasted the woman to death and made a mess of her henchmen ,it would be quite a shock to her and he also knows the woman was sent by someone, someone whose mission he didn't know but would love to find out bit by bit.

" those bastard killed him,of course i will take my revenge -" she leveled her glare at him"- but without your help ,i may not be powerful as your people but i have strong evidence against them "standing up from the bed she walked to the entrance door "my resignation letter will be tendered to the office ,so, i will be taking my leave now " aleksis slammed the door on her way out

dean smirked, she is just so unpredictable ,first she was behaving like a weak bimbo and the next second she is baring her teeth like a wild tigress even though she literally throw his offer to his face ,he'd bet she would come back to him on her own,she just needs time to move on from the shock and all that but the main question should be 'if they has time for insignificant things' surely he knows the person behind the attack and very soon he would pay her a pleasant visit but the timing is not perfect neither will he waste his time on second hand creature instead he needs to make sure everything goes according to plan including not making her take a wrong move that would leave in the war front

he massaged his temples ,being careful and protecting was never his specialism in war .all his years of living he had instilled fear in his enemies , he is not a fan of hiding or retreating in a fight instead he moves to the war front with full force and that is the exactly one of the reason why he is still known as the king of hell and he didn't hold the title for nothing his brutalism was told for generations and would still serve as a story to new generations ,but it seems destiny decided to play stupid with him by pairing him up with a stubborn ,air headed and stupid reformed goddess .

he would let her be for some time ,rushing up things will just break her down that he could not afford to happen now ,he needed her at her very best

" a penny for your thoughts?" mohana said with her lips slightly curved up , sitting on the same place which aleksis was sitting on a while ago

" i don't remember inviting you to my room" dean stated looking straight at her ,he noticed she had changed her bloody clothes and was putting on a black shorts with a big hoodie,he had vehemently refused to give her a room in his house but she kept pleading with him ,reminding him of how she had been a good friend and a faithful follower ,in one word she GUILT TRIPPED him left with no other choice he gave her two rooms in the second floor sometimes he regret making that decision ,frankly speaking that was the worst decision he made so far in his life

" yh, you didn't -"she lifted a brow and crossed her legs comfortably" a little birdy told me what happened that made you almost go crazy "

dean rolled his eyes, a little birdy?seriously? can't you just find a more believable story ? it wasn't coming as a shock to him though ,the woman is smart and might have figured out what caused his transformation he may regret giving her his room but not making her his number one ally

" So?"

" the Lumen poison -" she paused to read his expression but when he just sat there looking at her with a bored face she sighed and continued nonetheless "- the lumen poison shouldn't exist,no,it was destroyed by the clans way before the goddesses disappeared from earth but today changed everything... do you think-"

" she is the only person capable of activating the lumen poison ?" dean interrupted

" no..i mean yes..i think she is bringing back everything that went extinct , there is something more to what we were told years ago " mohana said with a subtle frown .no matter how she think it through she couldn't grasp her hands on the fact ,the girl is like a puzzle , a puzzle that can only be solve with calmness but there is more to the puzzle,something mysterious .no two ways about it

there was a long silence in the room both were staring at theirselves as if communicating telepathy

" we need Morgana " dean said after the long silence .

upon hearing that mohana face went red while her brow furrowed ,she clutched her hand into fist ,Morgana !, there was a displeased expression on her face which dean noticed . he knew what that name does to mohana ,the bad blood between the two sisters goes way back in time

both were twin sisters but with different powers while mohana is a succubus , human and a prophetess the rarest kind of spiritual being her twin sister Morgana was born as the last kind of pure bloodied witch and a dark angel with an unstoppable powers both sisters became the second most feared among the dark forces not until they had a big fallout because of a man ,hatred started brewing in their hearts , the fight between the sisters went on for centuries even after finding out the man deceived and used them to become more powerful they just couldn't go back to being friends again.

Morgana was the first person to reveal the prophesy of the second coming of the goddess and disappeared into thin air for over four centuries , no one knows where she is

such that it was assumed that the great witch died long time ago

" planning to ditch me for my so called sister ?- " mohana scoffed , looking at dean scornfully.

" you know we need her now more than ever " dean answered mildly

" how do we even know she is alive "mohana voice held a bit of reproach and pity , if dean noticed the sadness under her harsh words he sure knows how to hide his expression well

" you and i are very well aware that Morgana can never die, we will find her " he said determinedly , morgana will have to come out of her hiding place either she likes it or not and he will make sure of it
