~~ ZAMIEL POV ~~
After dropping carmela at the academy I asked the driver to take me back home.
Xavier and Asher seems to have made a new discovery on this issue on ground.
I took one more look at the photo in my wallet before placing it back in my pocket , everyone thinks I want to find the devil's daughter to rescue the soul of my people which is partially true but I also gat other plans for her .
The car came to a halt at the entrance of my mansion and I got out making my way to the study room
" hello uncle " I turned to find Amber
I don't know what carmela saw in this little girl , but still I don't like her one bit
" yes "
" ahem... uncle where's aunt carmela "
" she went out and would be back in a few hours from now ... go back to your room and do something if you want anything ask the servants " I said with a straight face and left
we I got to the study room Xavier and Asher seemed lost in taught and didn't even notice my presence . I went towards them both and took my seat but they still didn't notice me , after a few minutes of starring at their worried
faces I finally decided to speak up
" what's up with you both ? "
" when did you arrive " Xavier turned to look at me
" few minutes ago... what's the update " I went straight to the point
" leviathan can I ask you a question and you'll give a sincere reply " Xavier said
" meaning ? "
" we both want to be sure you don't have ulterior motives towards the devil's daughter " Asher retorted
" and why would I have ulterior motives ? " I played cool
" we all know what Lucifer did to you in the past and ... "
" I don't have ulterior motives , have left the past ... and all I want is to save the soul of my people.. so what's the update " I said in a cold tune
" the leader of the demon syren agreed to meet with you a day after tomorrow ... but she complained of one thing " Asher informed
" which is ? "
" she says we'll be needing the help of the queen syren and wishes to speak with you about it " I nodded in understanding to what he said
" and I have plans to capture the tempter " Xavier said bringing out a box
" in here are the ingredients I need to capture the tempter... but we'll need carmela to be present "
" why? " I raised an eyebrow
" because carmela is the person this tempter is here for so we need to use her to lure the tempter...but we also have one problem " he said worried visible on his face
" what's the problem " I sighed
" we can't complete the ritual without having both carmela and the tempter at the center of the wiccan symbol at exactly midnight since it's the only time the wiccan symbol can connect the living and dead , the parallel world and the demonic realm ... and since carmela is just human she might get hurt a little tiny bit I guess "
" how sure are you that it wouldn't end her life "
" actually 0.000 % " Xavier said rubbing his neck nervously
if we don't continue with this ritual carmela may lose her life as Tempter's never stop tormenting their victims till they die and if we do she might also lose her life
" get everything prepared we wouldn't be backing out " I stood up and left the study
life is all about risk so we need to get used to living like that
~~NARRATORS POV ~~
it was really tiring day for carmela and when she arrived home she just showered had dinner and went to bed .
Zamiel dismissed all the servants after which they proceeded with the ritual preparations . After making sure that all the arrangements were done, Xavier made sure the door to Carmela's room was left open he couldn't afford to waste time.
after making his silent prayers as this is the first time he's trying such a dangerous ritual he took several breaths making eye contact with both zamiel and Asher
" it's 11:45 we only have fifteen minutes more " Asher informed him and he nodded starting the ritual
( A/N: it's okay if you guys don't get this part of the book (^^) )
" מים אוויר אש ואדמה "
" לחבר אותנו השייכים לעולם התחתון, לחשוף את אלו שאינם שייכים לתחום שלנו "
" להביא אותם לאבדון ולשחרר עליהם אימה "
on reciting the spell, their was suddenly a faint glow from the Symbol which turned into a light ball and disappeared .
Carmela suddenly began feeling hot , she couldn't help but wonder why zamiel turned on the heater, she felt beads of sweat formed on her forehead
and someone's hot hand on her face thinking it was zamiel she slapped it off
" zamiel let go ... why is it so hot " she said opening her eyes slowly
he vision was a bit blurry at first but after blinking several to adjust to the light she saw a ugly looking monster straddling her with it's saliva dripping out of its mouth
at first she felt as if she lost her voice and didn't know if to scream, sleep back or just run
' carmela what the fuck are you still doing run ' her subconscious screamed at her . Her eyes suddenly widened realizing what she just saw
" MONSTER !!! " carmela screamed pushing off the unknown creature right on top of her
she looked around and zamiel was no where to be found
' did it eat zamiel.. oh no ' she taught to her self and ran out of the room but unluckily for her the creature was fast enough and pounced on her bringing it's face close to hers
" you ugly looking bitch stay away from me .....am married " she screamed trying to push the monster off her but it was of no use as it held her throat firmly choking the life out of her
" l...Le... go " she tried saying something but they came out in a whispered
' am I really gonna die like this ' she taught as a since tear fell from her eyes
she kept struggling to be let free but the more she struggled the more the creature's grip tighten around her neck
she spotted a flower vase through the corn of her eyes on the table beside her . After much struggle she was able to get her hands on it
she knew it wasn't going to kill the weird creatures choking her to death but it would at least bye her some time.
using the little strength she had left she hit the creature hard on its head and as taught it did distract it for a moment , carmela fell hard to the ground gasping for air but she couldn't wait for this weird creature to choke her again so she took to her heels not minding even if she broke a bone
