A/N: sorry for the late post, we have network issues here. I will be posting from Monday to Friday. Thank you so much.
Romulus knocked on doctor Ria's door, she's a senior nurse that works with the HOJ and is over seven hundred years of age.
"Come in," Romulus of the door and walked into the office. He saw the scattered papers and books on the ground.
He saw how she held her head looking down.
"I am here at the wrong time, I could come back tomorrow." He kept looking around the unkempt office.
"My patients are dying." She sounded tired.
"That's the first."
He lifted the book on the visitor's chair and sat down.
"Elven's ancient medicinal plants."
He read it out loud before putting it on the desk that is already buried with books.
"Do you mind sharing what is going on?"
She looked up at him.
Ria is a very beautiful Indian she-elf.
She has a Romanian kind of nose, full lips, and large brown eyes. Her black long straight hair fell on her back and divided in between her pointed ears to fall over her shoulders.
Romulus waited for her to speak.
The agents in wards 4, 6, and 8 are not improving."
"The ones who encountered the rogues in the forest of Darlington."
"Yes, no matter what I do, doesn't work, at first they start to get stronger, talk, and even laugh. Before you know it they are back to being sick and bedridden.
She let out a long sigh and used her knuckles to support her head.
"What do I do Romulus? It's like everything I do becomes useless."
Romulus.
"I will talk to Elder Aelfric."
Ria's body reacted. "That's a perfect idea, the ruler of the forest elves can help us."
She finally smiled.
Chen and Rose were leaving the hospital after searching all over for Ella. They found out from Dr. Ria that Ella has been discharged. That infuriated Rose.
"How could she leave without telling me?" Chen smiled sheepishly at her. Her angry face was so cute he wanted to kiss it.
He quickly shook it off, cleared his throat, and looked around to see other patients. Some patients were in wheelchairs, and their members pushed them around as they chatted and laughed.
Some were supporting themselves with their drip stand.
Two teenage girls scratch that Two vampire women pretending to be human teenage girls were coming their way, their giggling got Chen's attention.
"I don't know what girl made that guy buy that large amount of flowers." The blonde one said
"I wish a guy will buy me this many flowers." The green-haired one said as they passed by him and Rose.
"Why do you think she left without telling me?"
"Huh!" Chen, who hasn't been listening to her, doesn't know what to say. He was still thinking about the best reply to give her. When he heard someone calling his name.
"Over here, Chen!" Cyrus shouted, gaining more attention to himself.
Mr. This is a hospital, you shouldn't..."
"Piss off, unless you want to die." His eyes were now dark red as he glared at the receptionist.
"A receptionist is not supposed to be rude, I could get you fired right this instance, so you better behave!"
He licked his long thick canines.
The nurse shivered in fear.
Her eyes turned black before reverting to normal within a split second. Cyrus's sight caught everything, and using his super speed grabbed her neck.
The people began to scream. Chen rushed over.
"Why is a black witch here?" His voice became scary.
"I worked here, I am just trying to earn a living." She could barely speak, because of the pressure he was putting on her neck.
"A black witch working to earn money. This is the first."
Chen, who just arrived, chuckled.
"You're hurting her!"
Rose yelled at him and the crowd behind supported her.
"Let her go, man, what the hell are you doing?" someone from the crowd shouted.
Her scaly black skin kept appearing when Cyrus squeezed her neck harder.
"Her nails grew sharper and she used them to make marks on his hands, but Cyrus didn't flinch, let her go, or reduce the pressure he was applying on her neck.
The woman started to laugh, showing her black razor-like teeth, with black liquid coming out of her mouth.
Cyrus furrowed his brows. "Don't witches brush their teeth or go to the dentists."
"Why are you laughing?"
Chen, who was having a bad feeling, asked.
"Because I am not alone." She laughed like a crazy person.
They began to hear screams from the crowd.
The woman completely transformed into a black witch.
Rose grabbed Chen's arm. "Rose, I need you to go hide under the receptionist's desk and you should not come out, no matter what happens."
Rose nodded and ran from them to go hide under the desk.
"We are the rogues." A werewolf came out of the crowd holding a patient whose head he had already severed from his body.
They all began to step out, some of them are vampires, werewolves, and black witches.
The black witches have a black scaly skin, big completely black eyes, long sharp nails, and razor-like teeth.
"You are going to die, our nails have poison, and it is going to burn you from the inside." She had a creepy smile on her face.
"Our lady has made us powerful, by transplanting the poisonous nails to us."
The witch smirked at Cyrus.
"It was hard, hunting and killing them, the people know how to hide."
A werewolf spoke and winked at Chen.
Chen became worried, he knew how dangerous the poison is, and it burns the inside of a person.
"Cyrus, you need to get out of here!!!"
Chen yelled.
The rogues began to laugh, "You think we would let you leave, you are going to die here handsome." One of the vampires pretending to be a teenager spoke.
Surprising Chen.
Poof!!!!, they all turned to the sound. The black witch in Cyrus's hand is gone, the only thing they could see was black blood on his face, clothes, hands, and the tiled floor.
"This is why I hate this ability, it is too messy." he shook his hand to get rid of the blood. All the rogues including Chen were shocked and confused.
Cyrus grinned at them and they all stepped back.
"You should be dead, how are you alive?" the black witch who called the receptionist her sister earlier.
"The disadvantage of Anastasia poison is that it can not work on flame users, the ability itself is like fire, and fire can't burn fire. Let me introduce myself. My name is Cyrus Potter, I am from the dragon flame clan."
On hearing this, fear crept into their body. They all know how dangerous the dragon flame clan is. They can make their enemy's blood so hot that it will explode just by them touching you.
"Whatever you do, don't let him touch you!" one of the rogues announced.
"Too late, number two." The guy couldn't breathe. Cyrus touched him and he exploded, he jumped to his number three a witch, and when he touched her, she exploded.
Chen's eyes were filled with excitement as he began to morph into a werewolf. "I can't let you have fun alone Cyrus."
BACK IN THE PALACE.
Ella was too shocked to say anything.
The father and son duo, who were peeping by the door were impressed.
"Smooth," Acher said with a smile.
"My son is all grown up." The king said happily,
He thought of having a little Trent running about.
"Acher we have to make sure that nothing goes wrong in their relationship, I want to be a grandfather."
"And I want to become an uncle."
The two giggled.
"Hmmm, Hi, My name is Ariella Patterson and it is an honor to meet you, I want to thank you for raising such a fine handsome man.
Ella went quiet. "Is that all?" Trent asked.
Ella creased her brows.
"What do you want me to say?"
"What you are to me, tell her." He folded his arms.
"I don't know what I am to you?" she innocently asked.
"You don't know, I kissed you, drank from you, and just told her that I want to make a home with you!" Trent raised his voice.
"Rose told me how the relationship works. First, you have to ask me out on at least five dates. Secondly, you will buy me one thousand and one red roses."
"And why should I do that?" He squinted his eyes.
"Because it is romantic, and then you will ask me to be your girlfriend," she shyly said. She styled her hair in a doughnut form, leaving only a few strands.
"That is useless, You already belong to me, so why would I do all that nonsense."
Acher and the king, face palmed their faces.
"What did you say to me?" Ella yelled, surprising Trent.
"What you heard, I am sure you heard me." The oblivious Trent replied.
"What do you think I am, some shirt you own?" she puffed.
"Of Course not. Why are you angry?"
The King and Acher what to intervene, but they will be ashamed if the couple finds out that they were eavesdropping.
"You said you own me like I am some piece of property." She angrily shouted at Trent.
"Why are you shouting at me and why are you mad about you being my property?" Trent spoke calmly, ignorance seething through his body.
Ella let out a loud gasp of disbelief.
"Looks like our dream of becoming an uncle and grandfather has been crushed."
Acher sadly concluded.
