Still at Banshee’s house
“No, I cannot lose her. She is the gateway to my success. The spell you have been working on to find Mia, how far have you gone with it?” The man raised his head to look at Banshee with his eyes that suddenly had hope.
“There is nothing I can tell you for now. The spell doesn’t want to work, something is blocking my magic” Banshee was speaking before she was rudely interrupted.
“What could be blocking your magic? You are the most powerful witch I know so what could even dare to stand as an obstacle in your path?” the man was getting anxious and he began to sweat profusely. He had never been so afraid in his entire life.
“I don’t know what is blocking it but whatever it is , it is very powerful, maybe even more powerful than I am. The only thing I know that can make my powers seem so weak and infertile is the caston gem.
It is the only thing that can weaken my powers and take it away from me but luckily it is very difficult to get if not impossible. It can only be found inside a volcano, not just any volcano but the one at hanovilla” Banshee lowered her gaze.
“But it seems someone has it and the person is using it to protect Mia from me” Banshee was muttered.
“Who could that be?” The man was surprised and confused at the same time.
“I do not know!” she yelled at the man and Catherine was starting to wake up.
“She is waking up, you have to put her to sleep again” the man pointed at Catherine.
“No , I cannot do that. She is already very weak and if I put her to sleep again she might never wake up” Banshee says as she held her skirt of her black and black attire and walked away. The man quickly blindfolded Catherine, it would be a setback if she was to see his face.
“Finally you are awake, I have been waiting for you” he smirked as he caressed Catherine’s hair.
“I bet” Catherine tried to sit on the bed but was finding it difficult.
The powder didn’t just make her sleep but had completely paralyzed her temporarily.
“Now don’t even try to act smart, you can’t move any part of your body, at least not yet” the man was holding her hand.
“What have you done to me? Isn’t it enough that you have separated me from my child and husband all these years and now you made me paralyzed?” Catherine didn’t even know when she started to shed tears.
Crying had already become a hobby to her, she just couldn’t go a day without crying and this man just knew how to mock her.
He began to wipe her tears with his palm as if he felt some kind of sympathy towards her.
“Honestly baby, I didn’t do anything to you. I didn’t paralyze you, well not willingly, you forced me to do it. You keep on passing out here and there and the only way to make you awake again is by giving you a drug and that drug just makes you paralyze. I’m really sorry” he pretended to be disheartened but Catherine could see past his lies.
“Don’t you ever dare call me that again. I don’t even know you, the only thing I know is that you are a horrible monster and anybody would try their possible best to get as far away from you as they can ” she spat on his face.
“You are disgusting, I hope my spit burns your face, if it manages to touch you”Catherine was being arrogant again and she held her breath before she released it again trying to be strong for what was about to befall her.
He wiped his face and stared at her.
“I am not going to do what you are expecting so there is really no need for you to be acting inball this drama. I have better things to worry about, just yell if you need anything, you nagging lady” the man was about to leave but the next thing Catherine said made him stop in his tracks immediately.
“Arthur, is that you? Please come and take me away from here. He is hurting me” Catherine closed her eyes and kept on moving her head on the bed.
Catherine could have sworn she heard Arthur’s voice whisper an “I love you” into her ear. She just couldn’t forget his voice.
“What type of trick is this huh? Just when I decide to forgive your mistake, you are trying to act smart? Your husband is dead! dead you hear me?!” The man squeezed her face but suddenly he felt something push his hand off her. He got very scared because he knew that he wasn’t just imagining things.
“What games are you playing with me now woman!” He twisted Catherine’s hand and she yelled in pain. It was just too much pain for her.
“Stop it, you are hurting me. I don’t know what you are talking about” Catherine screamed, drawing Banshee’s attention.
Banshee’s eyes widened the moment she met the scene, she was very disappointed and cast a spell on the man making him follow her at once. Once they were in another room she immediately shut the door.
“I thought you said she was an important part of your plan, why then do you want to kill her with your own hands?” She scolded him, nearly giving him a hot slap.
“Banshee I’m telling you, she is up to something. I was squeezing her face when I felt someone’s hand push my hand away from her. This wasn’t something ordinary” the man was completely shaken. He couldn’t even get a grip of himself.
“I’m telling you the truth Banshee” he kept on insisting.
“Yes I am sure. Today you said someone pushed your hand and then tommorow you are going to tell me that you saw her flying” Banshee was getting fed up.
“Stop all this nonsense at once. She is too weak so you can’t move her, you will have to spend the night here” Banshee continued speaking before she walked away. She didn’t even give him a chance to say another word.
