Without concern for her Safety Sharon headed for the source of the voice. She knew without mistake that Marcus must be in some sort of trouble. Her ability to know when someone close to her was in trouble was one of the earliest gifts that manifested in her. The day she lost her father she also heard that cry in her head but she couldn't place what was happening then. Hence one of the reasons she was convinced her father didn't die a natural death.
But in the case of Marcus, she didn't understand why she was hearing his voice when they barely knew each other. Or it was probably because he was kind to her yesterday she reasoned
On getting to a door where she was convinced he was being held she opened the door to discover it was not locked which surprised her greatly, she had expected the door to be locked. Looking inside she discovered it was just a passage leading to another door but as she tried to pass through she felt a force push her back preventing her from passing through the door. This was a barrier spell
It was the first time she had experienced one in a long time. A barrier spell is a kind of spell that prevents people from accessing a particular location or area. It was usually used by witches. It would take the same witch who cast the spell to break it someone else who has an idea of how it was set up, or a stronger witch to override the effect of the spell.
This experience immediately gave Sharon the idea that she may be dealing with witches who may have held Marcus hostage. Witches and Werewolves were not the best of friends when it came to their spiritual world.
Sharon said some quick counter spells and broke the barrier spell without breaking a sweat. Breaking a barrier spell was one thing she also had to learn from childhood because of her father who was fond of restricting her movements inside and outside the house. She had learned to bypass almost every single type of barrier spell even before she started manifesting signs of her powers. The kind of spell used also gave her an idea of the rank of the witch who must have cast the spell. She could classify it as an average spell.
Immediately she stepped into the passage, she stopped hearing Marcus voice but she could pick faint chanting coming from the only room in the passage.
"We have an unexpected visitor, are you for us or against us? " Sharon suddenly heard a voice announce before she got to the door. It was a sign they already knew someone was coming close.
Immediately she turned to the door it opened on its own accord. Stepping into the room Sharon saw Marcus tired with Chains to the two ends of the room. She didn't need anyone to tell her that he was being tortured. Around him were four men who with blood on their hands seemed to be tormenting him both physically and spiritually.
Sharon showed no sign of fear with the sight before her, for unknown reasons she felt calm inside. On the other hand, the men had a look of surprise on her Faces as they wondered who she was
"Maam please go you shouldn't be here " Marcus forced himself to say when he recognized her trying to save her from harm.
But Sharon was stubborn, she was not about to leave a dying man who was good to her. She needs answers as to why such a crime was being carried out inside her property
"Who are you? "
One of the men who seemed to be the leader of the four asked with a loud voice hoping to instill fear into her.
"I should be asking you the same question, why are you hurting my friend? " Sharon asked without fear
"Oh, he is your friend? We said that he must have other people helping him. From the look of things you are a witch and you are friends with a werewolf " the man said trying to explain her crime to her
Werewolf and witch relationship was not forbidden from where Sharon came from but she knew this wasn't true in all territories. In some territories, there was always a constant war and now she could tell these witches must be from such territories.
Two of the men try to take some steps toward her as they intend to grab her for questioning too. Any witch who was friends with a werewolf was considered an enemy
"You may want to have a rethink before you touch me you should be worried about how I broke your little spell outside "
Her statement made two men pause in their stride. They seem to be reasoning what she just said.
"You are not supposed to even know we are here in the first place, So who are you exactly?
"Who is your leader here? "Sharon asked with a more authoritative tone taking two steps toward them to turn the table around.
She noticed they were turned in the direction of the last person who had not said a word or made a move since she came. He looked younger than the three of them but carried a strong evil aura.
"I take it you are a witch but there seems to be a spell that prevents me from knowing who are you and that could only mean you are very strong for a female"
I am Mamba son of Lamba from the Shanobi Coven, please who are you? The young man introduced himself in polite tone
Sharon could immediately tell he wasn't only powerful but also intelligent. She knew very well about the Shanobi coven and the family blood line he just mentioned. Since he was polite she decided to also introduce herself
"I am Avalone, leader of... "
" The Mazukin Coven? " Lamba couldn't help but complete her statement with Shock on his face
