Free Web NovelChapter 66: Chapter 66 The Deal
Abby’s POV
The tension in the room is so thick you can cut it with a knife. Everyone in the room seemed angry at one thing or the other. The Goddesses kept staring at each other, my girls staring at Keres and then Sylla, keeping their gaze fixed on the crazy witch girl.
I looked at Laurus. He seemed.. Frightened somehow. Maybe this was not what he had envisioned when he teleported me from my home. Which reminded me, we need new and stronger magic fences, to keep people from being teleported against their wishes.
Laurus clears his throat.
"Well, well. This is ever such a delightful surprise. Selene, Monica and Ophelia, all here in my humble abode together. I had never thought this would happen again." He says, looking like this is anything but delightful. I can’t help but roll my eyes discreetly.
"Laurus. Why have you kidnapped the werewolf/witch Queen? What’s the game here?" Selene asks in a no nonsense voice. She is still staring at Keres, even though her question is directed to the demon King.
"Well, sister. The little icky Queen has something we want, so naturally I asked him to summon her to make her a deal." Keres answer before Laurus has a chance. Selene laughs.
"The Destiny Children?" She asks, even though the answer is obvious. My hands cover my stomach again, and the girls close ranks around me. They will let nothing happen to their prince and princess. Jax moves to my side, his eyes slightly glazed over. At that moment, the door to the room opens and in floats a gorgeous young woman, who walks over to Jax. She takes his hand, and my anger flares. Who does she think she is, but before I can react to my murderous instincts, she speaks.
"Father, what is going on?" She looks directly at Laurus.
"Jasmin, don’t concern your little head with this. This is nothing but a misunderstanding." The girl laughs at that.
"Sure doesn’t look like it." She answers, while looking over the crowd. Her eyes land on me, and they light up.
’Queen Abigail, it’s a genuine pleasure to meet you.’ She links privately to me, and I smile in response.
Keres sneers.
"You can’t even keep your own children in line, Laurus. Pathetic." Then she sends out a blast that tumbles all of us on the floor.
"The children are mine!" She yells over the commotion and reaches for me with her magic. But Ellie, who jumps in front of me, blocks her attempt. It hit directly her in the stomach area, her eyes widen and her cry makes my blood run cold. The incoming battle halts for a moment, as everyone around us feels the despair in her scream. In that moment, I know what has happened, and the tears of her agony are my own.
My heart breaks with her, as the life, yet to be welcomed into this world, is killed. My scream matches Ellies when the anger I have built up over the unfairness of it all is released. The kidnapping, the desire to take my unborn children, just because of power hunger, the murder of Ellie’s children because she protected me. Everything comes down to this, and I feel how Galaxy prepares herself to come out and do her worst.
Galaxy takes joint control with me, and we strike back in kind. Everything is chaos as spells, godly magic and brute force are combined in a battle that should not have happened yet. They did not build the room for this, and it shakes more and more violently with every strike back and forth.
The battle force us outside in the courtyard, where Keres summons demons to help her side. Ellie has got herself as much together as she can, and joins in on the battle with a fierceness I have never seen in her. Her aura screams she has nothing to lose in this moment, but she forgets herself and everything she still has to live for.
Losing her unborn child has fueled her anger, and her powers harness that anger into deadly preciseness in their hits.
"Abby, we need to get Ellie to calm down, otherwise she will lose herself in the darkness and soon join her sister’s side." Morgan yells at me, but I can’t get to her as I am holed up with four demons and Sylla. But when Sylla hears Morgan, she switches her attention to Ellie completely. She edges her twin on, fueling her more and more, rooting for her to come to the darkness with her, so they can be together again.
Sylla is so occupied by her efforts to get Ellie to snap, she doesn’t see me sending a blast her way. I hit her straight in the head, making it possible for Laurel to get to Ellie. Laurel reaches her just in the knick of time. Calling her name, not sure what to do. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
’SMACK HER HARD!’ I scream in a mind-link, panicked over the possibility of losing my sister. As Laurel smacks her as hard as she can, someone teleport into the middle of the fray. A small sized figure with a taller one beside them.
I concentrate on the enemies in front of me. Fighting to the best of my abilities. They are strong, and I have to be careful because of my pups, but they have to be careful all well. Keres ordered them not to harm my children. I dodge one attack after the other, using my powers and fast reflects. They work together to get a hold of me, but as Galaxy and I are in joint control, I can harness more of her wolf’s strength than usual. I break free, desperate to get to Ellie and Laurel.
Suddenly, I feel my pups move. A feeling of protection comes over me and then a surge of power I have never felt before flows from my unborn children outwards. They create a force field strong enough to kill all four of the demons. Smashing them into oblivion, making sure they will not return to the underworld ever again.
My pups protected me. Galaxy is purring at the thought in my head, praising them. I can’t believe they are already so powerful. Where will it end if they can already create and use magic from my womb? Galaxy consoles me.
