While he laid on a big bed surrounded by runners, type of plant in the midde of the garden.
In front of her, the boy was surrounded in a big barrier, soundproof. He was screaming in pain.
And she couldn't do anything but watch him be in pain, her tears fall all of a sudden. "What the hell! What's happening! Get him out of there!" She pleaded to his twin brother.
He shakes his head. {"It's no use. He's sick."}
Sick? She thought. All of their memories that was stored in her memories came back, he smiled and played along with her games even though he had this kind of condition, she realized maybe the reason why he was locking himself in here was because he knew he was sick.
{"Then why are you keeping him here instead of curing him?!"}
{"Shut up!"} He scowled back. {"We did everything that can cure him, but there was nothing. He's dying and no one but the knowledge of heavens can stop it."}
She couldn't accept his fate of dying, she felt so hurt that as he looked at him in grave pain, she entered the barrier, making the twin brother of Charles widened his eye.
Her eyes locked to him as he screamed for it to stop, the pain. She kneeled beside him and that's when Charles stopped screaming, in short breathes tears fell from his eye as he looked at her. The face of pity plastered to Christal's face. Charles endured all pain and shut his mouth.
Tears kept falling from both of them, Charles withstood the pain and blinded himself as he saw Christal holding his hand. That was all Christal can do for her at the moment.
{"You dummy."} She cried. {"How can you not tell me?"}
He didn't answer but only looked away.
Wiping her tears away, she left the Stone Pack with a goal in her hands, she wanted to cure Charles no matter what and thus, tried to find the cure for weeks but it was no use, she felt hurried up because Charles time was only limited and she can't keep finding forever. But one day, hope came right at her door.
As he was talking about her brother about medications. She was told that White witches are usually the beings can cure anything, but they're no where to be found so easily.
Jason knew exactly how Christal can be stubborn that's why he didn't tell her that Dark witches can also cure but given a specific price. Unfortunately, his worst fear came to light because just he was about to leave her, she came up with an idea.
{"Then how bout Dark Witches? I've heard of them."}
{"They're not just somebody that you can handle."}
{"I'll decide that on my own."} She pushes him away. It's not like he can stop her if she already put her mind to it, that's why he just let her go.
But he didn't knew that she'll be in more trouble than he thought.
Going through several searches, she tried her best to ask anybody any little information about a last seen witch she'll be able to speak with. But to her dismay, even Dark witches were hard to find, even though there were clues. Every night she would sneak out her packhouse and wander in the human city, witches are seldom seen there.
But she couldn't find a single one.
She was already running out of patience that she just stormed out the human city with an unsatisfied look in her face. And just the heavens predicted the future, she bumped into an old lady.
She smelled right, the woman is a Dark Witch. She already disliked their smell fast. Scrunching her nose a bit she stopped the woman from continuing forward.
{"You're a Dark Witch."} She confirms.
{"I don't do business anymore, i've heard you've been looking for my kind."}
{"What? How?"}
{"A piece of advice, don't even meddle with Dark witches child, you don't know what you're trying to do, go home."}
But she didn't, instead she forced the woman to stay while grasping her arms tight. "I'll rip you to shreds if you don't help me." She said desperately.
{"You haven't shifted yet you dare to threaten me?"} The Dark witch just sighed. {"What is it that you need help with?"}
{"I need you to cure a sick person."}
The woman's eyes widened. {"From a Dark Witch? Have you lost your mind?"}
{"I need to find anything to cure him, even if i get it from the devil himself."} The teenager almost begged, desperately trying to persuade the witch to help her.
She was running out of time.
{"If it's from a White Witch you could save that person with no price paid."}
{"I know! But i don't have time to find those hiding White Witches! Please! I don't have much time- he doesn't either."}
{"I'm not the person that can help you, there is one specific Dark Witch that can make a contract with you. A Dark Witch's contract can be tricky, you have to be careful."}
{"Do you know where that witch is?"} Her eyes gleamed with hope.
{"Go to RedBloodMoon's Cemetery, just behind the kingdom that's where her remains was kept from the outside world. Child, if you're a rogue i wouldn't make you go there."}
{"Thank you."} She smiles. {"You're really a strange Dark Witch, you're just so kind-"}
{"Don't mistake me from being kind."} She turns cold all of a sudden. {"This is not something for you to know, but Dark Witches also have their price to pay, if i still have my powers i would have let you die for all i care."} The witch grins, a devilish look on her eyes.
She didn't have any powers? Christal questioned, but she kept quiet and let the witch walk away from her. Seeing that she already has the answers, she didn't waste time and headed straight to RedBloodMoon's border lines, but not before stopping.
She looked ahead and doubted for a second, she knows how dangerous trespassing another territory, but she thought that she could try to talk to the Alpha. Not knowing the horrors she would face if she trespassed RedBloodMoon, she proceeded.
From a far,
A young man stood miles away from the border lines as he spectated the young teenager that trespassed. He was head of the north border lines, so no one took action and waited for the young heir's order.
The young heir felt suddenly interested, also felt a bit strange about the excitement he and his wolf was experiencing, he told the other guards to not follow him and he would be the only one who would take care of the lost princess.
He thought that the girl was naive, seeing that she trespassed so easily without fear and ran towards the Cemetery without stopping. When she stopped, he also stopped. It was unusual for the young heir of RedBloodMoon to speculate a trespasser, he was astonished to the young girl's beauty and smell that was coming from her.
Christal who stood in the middle of the cemetery wondered restlessly how to summon the Dark Witch, her powers were still weak that she couldn't sense someone from a kilometer.
{"Dark witch! Come out! I've come to make a contract."}
The young heir raised an eyebrow, not knowing what the beautiful girl was shouting in the middle of the cemetery, not until the surroundings suddenly changes and the clouds seemed more darker above them. The boy remained hidden, wondering what she was doing.
{"What's your wish?"} The Dark Witch suddenly appears, hearing the girl cried for her to come out, the Dark Witch already knew even before she came to see her. {"Is it the sick boy?"}
{"How did you know that?"} She glared at her. {"Whatever nevermind that, i need you to cure him."}
{"Need or want?"} The witch teases, but Christal didn't have time to play games, making her growl at the vile woman infront of her.
{"Bring me the letter in your father's office before he dies, if you fail to do it, your life will be the price for breaking the contract."} She smiles evilly. {"Come, i will present to you the seal of our contract."}
That simple? Christal thought.
The Young Man couldn't comprehend what was happening but he did know that the girl was making a contract with a Dark witch exchange for her life if she fails, the thought of her dying made him come out from the shadows.
{"Hold up."} He lowly growls. {"You're not making a contract."}
Christal felt weird but couldn't name it as she stared back at the man with shock and anger in her eyes, who is he to stop me from making a contract? Unless he is someone from the RedBloodMoon to ask me questions of trespassing? She thought.
{"Who are you?"} Christal asks.
{"You've trespassed you don't have the rights to ask me questions."} He smirks, trying to divert her attention from making that contract.
But the Dark Witch didn't slip any chance and diverted her attention back to her. {"Any second now my dear."}
Christal ignores the guy and turns towards the Dark witch's way, the witch reaching her hand out to Christal to seal the contract.
