Chapter-9: Four witches.
Those three females were floating in the sky and they quickly appeared in front of the cart. Both the horses stopped because they felt them in front of them. They stopped at one place and tried to step back but that man did not know about them.
"Hush."
"Move."
He does not know what happened to them. Suddenly one of the females passed from his left side. He felt like someone passed him from his left side. Meanwhile, two females started moving around the cart and they heard a laughing sound. They were looking around but there was no one and suddenly someone attacked their horses and took their horses away from them.
They all stepped down and started running away because they knew that someone was following them. They had heard the story of four witches but they did not believe that story. But now, they start believing in the story. He was running away with his wife and daughter. They were scared but suddenly one female appeared in front of them, they were shocked and stopped at one place. … They started moving away but another female appeared in another direction and they were covered by three females. There is no way to run away. One of the female's mouths was full of blood and some drops came out when she was drinking that blood.
This scene was making their blood cold and heart beats start increasing. They were wearing a beautiful dress and stepped towards them, they had a sharp smile on their faces.
"Where are you going?"
"No need to be scared of us?"
Their facial expressions changed and they showed their true faces. They suddenly grab all of them and kill them all by drinking their blood and eat their body. They were flying in the sky and saw many carts. They left them and they went to the dark forest. They were flying in the dark forest, crossing many trees and landed on the ground on their feet. Whole forest was black in color and there was not a single plant whose color was green. They were walking and a cracking sound came when they stepped forward. That sound was coming from the ground because the ground was full of bones of humans and animals.
Moon was shining in the sky and a huge mansion appeared in front of them. That mansion was broken but it was still standing on the ground. They all entered inside and there were no lights, the light of the moon was coming inside that mansion through broken places.
They were walking towards a chair in which a female was sitting and that chair was above from the ground. If someone wants to sit on that chair, then he or she should cross twelve steps. That female was wearing a black dress and her eyes were like a sword, very sharp and anger was clearly seen on her face. She looks at them and she notices some lines on their heads.
…
"What happened to you all?"
They all were looking at each other because they knew about her and they used to fear her.
"Answer my question."
One of them told her that they had seen someone who had some special powers like no one had.
… "Hmm."
That female stands from her seat and starts walking towards them. They stepped back because they thought that she might kill them but she walked to the side and saw her face on the mirror which was placed on the table. She rubs her hand on her face and smiles at herself. She started laughing at the words which were said by one priest who had been killed by them many years before. He had told them that one day, one boy will come to stop them and when he steps inside this forest that time, she will start fearing him.
"I think… words of that priest are getting true."
She was wearing golden nails on her right hand finger.
"Tell me everything."
They told her that when they tried to attack them, they collided with a wall and that walk threw them back.
… She was listening to everything carefully and she was also wondering when she heard that word wall. "Go."
They all went to their rooms and she was alone in that place. She sat on her chair and hit her hand on the hands of the chair. Whole mansion disappeared from that place. She was a little bit shocked when she saw fear on her friend faces. She closed her eyes and thought about the boy.
Hero was eating food and Joseph had told everything to Mary. She asked Hero about that feeling. He told her that he had seen three females, who were floating in the sky and staring at him. After having food, he went out to sleep but Mary stopped him and told him to sleep in his room.
…
He was surprised because she never stopped him from sleeping outside but he knew that why she was saying that to him.
"I will be fine mother."
She does not want to listen to him but Joseph stopped her. Hero was sleeping outside but Mary was looking out from the window because she had a fear about her son. In the morning, Hero had taken a mess with those soldiers and now those four witches were looking at him. She closes her eyes and starts praying for her son. Joseph was looking at her and he asked her to sleep because it was too late.
Angel was sitting on her bed because she wanted to know why Hero used to sleep outside. She made her friend wake up and asks the question. Alice was still sleeping but she knows that Angel will not let her sleep until she gets her answer.
"Many years ago, from nowhere many wolves attacked their sheeps and goats. That time the hero was small but he used his powers to stop them and throw them all inside that black forest. After that day, to protect all sheeps, goats and villagers, he used to sleep outside." After she said this much she fell down on her bed and slept.
… Now Angel had her answer. She quickly fell asleep on her bed.
Soldiers were out for checking and they found two dead horses lying on the road which is going towards a stone table village. They quickly ran towards the horses and checked the cart. There was no one there, they searched around and found some money which was lying on the road. They went towards the village to get some information about them.
Hero was sleeping but he had a dream and in the dream, he saw a man whose body was covered with black dress. His whole body was covered with that cloth and that cloth was shining due to lights and that clothes had spines except on head.
"Who are you?" He asked that man.
He slowly removed his cloth from his head and Hero was shocked because he saw himself. He quickly opened his eyes and woke up and found that birds were making sounds and children were waiting for sweets.
"That was just a dream."
He waves his hand and many sweets fall on their hands. When he entered the house, he found a man and that man was the father of Angel's, who came there to tell him that he should accept their offer. "Leave it uncle."
He was rubbing his head and went outside. Henry father of Angel, asks Joseph about his powers.
"It is a gift."
Henry notices that the king needs him because of his power. He was ordered by the authorities to call him. If he does so then they will promote him and he can buy a new house for his family. He was talking inside and Hero was listening to everything. Hero was washing his face but his head was paining due to that dream. He was pressing his head but pain increased. Mary was standing behind him, she was surprised to see him like this because she knew that his power was used to protect him but he was not feeling well.
"What happened son..."
She was checking him and he suddenly fell down on the ground. She shouted due to fear and her husband came there. He was shocked to see his son lying on Mary's hand. He quickly took his son in his hand and put him on his wooden bed where he used to sleep and ran towards the landlord's house where Isabella was sleeping.
Isabella quickly woke up when she heard that Hero was not feeling well. She quickly ran down and forced her father to send their family doctor to check him because she wanted to see him healthy as soon as possible. Thomas was arrogant but in front of his daughter he couldn't do anything. He called a doctor and Joseph took him to his house and Isabella also went along with them. Hero is not feeling well; this news spreads all over the village and all the people stand around his house. Hero was lying on his bed and his head was on his mother's lap, both the eyes were closed and Mary's eyes were full of tears.
"Mary, don't worry, doctor is here."
