CHAMLEE’S POV
The Chamlar… but who is Mildrid? I thought to myself.
“What is it, Robin?” I asked as I began to get even more terrified.
Robin is a fearless warrior, nothing ever scared him. If he should look this terrified, then something must be terribly wrong. But what does that have to do with my Chamlar?
“I know her, Mildrid. She is cursed from Wantonlake” he murmured.
He looked like someone that is under some spell. Why does he appear so frightened?
“What is it, Robin, talk to me?” I asked. I was trying hard to think straight. What does this have to do with my Chamlar?
“I… can… see… her, she… is… here, Mildrid… The… witch… from… Wantonlake…” he said the words one by one.
“The vampires…” I exclaimed quietly.
“She… is… looking… at… our… Chamlar, she… is… heading… her… way” he revealed, his eyes did not move away the whole time.
My heart jumped to my mouth. “My Chamlar,” I said under my breath and turned to look where Robin’s gaze was focused on.
I could see the woman, closely accompanied by beta Tim of Diamond Cut Pack, my Chamlar’s father. What is he doing, and what does he aim to achieve? To bring black magic into this battle. Does he know what that would cost, can he pay the price?
Not too far from them was Stake, my Chamlar’s wolf, she was trying to catch her breath. It was obvious that she just finished fighting.
What do they want with my Chamlar, why are they going her way?
It was as if everything paused around me. I could not move even my body, I lost control of everything. I could not even utter another word.
‘No, not my Chamlar, not my queen’ I exclaimed inside of me but I still could not move even when I tried all I could to do so.
My Chamlar was completely oblivious of what was coming for her. She has her back turned to them and was signaling to the servant to get her cloak so that she can shift to her human form.
What is going to happen to her, what does beta Tim want from her? He was the one that brought this war to us, he was the one that pulled the string. He brought this upon every one of us now what does he want with a witch?
“No…” I heard Robin murmur.
“Ro… bin” I whispered.
“This doesn’t look good, my Chamlee” he whispered in fear.
But how come Robin could still use every part of his senses. No other person noticed the presence of the witch and beta Tim. Even those that saw them walk past and act as if nothing happen. There must be using dark magic but why is Robin immune from it?
“No…” I replied in an incredible low tone.
Chamlar is in danger and I am watching. It was not a pleasant sight, not in the least.
The witch stopped, and beta Tim stopped too. I watched as she pulled out something from her bag and points it at Chamlar. I was frozen.
As soon as she threw the thing that she was holding into the air, it was as if something leaped out of my inside, a great force, something dark. I immediately regained consciousness and I screamed. “My Cham… lar…”
I pulled my legs out of the ground. They felt so heavy but I still ran with them to go rescue my Chamlar. I must not let whatever that was thrown by that witch get to her.
It felt as though the running was taking forever. Each step that I take saw the charm getting closer to my Chamlar and my Chamlar was not even aware of it yet, her cloak was over her and she was making to shift.
I was practically confused but I just kept running. If that charm should get to my Chamlar before me then it is better that I am left dead because I already know that whatever that is was not meant for good.
It was no good news, it was meant to completely destroy our queen.
The charm is getting closer to her, even faster than my legs could carry me. I can see it now, it is a thin and long substance, like a piece of a broom.
But how can a tiny piece of broom fly in mid-air like an arrow, how come it was not overtaken by the wind and made to fall down? This is magic, a dark one.
I dragged my heavy legs, running faster than they could carry me. Now it has to do with my Chamlar and I would fight against all odds. The charm should hit me instead.
I continued to run, in a minute that charm would hit my queen. No, in only seconds. It would get to her in just seconds and who knows what would happen to her then. What was it meant to do to her?
As these thoughts ravaged my soul I felt a sharp pain in my chest, my heart bled as I watch her shift, not knowing that something evil was coming for her.
It felt like an eternity.
It felt as if my world was finally going to crumble.
All I have was about to be taken away from me by the enemy in broad daylight and my legs are failing me now.
Not knowing what else to do to avert this, I pulled my legs from the hard ground and completely flung myself into the air. I was flying to go to my queen, to save her life and pay with mine instead.
Everyone was engaged in their different activities, none was aware of the presence of beta Tim and the witch, and no one knows what was about to happen.
Even Robin could not move from where he was standing, he could not take a single step away. He was terrified as he watched the event unfold, transfixed on the spot. It was only me that was able to act and try to stop this.
Just when the Chamlar shifted to her human form, the piece of broom made to get to her. It was already so close, eager to land on her shoulders.
“Cham… lar… nooo…” I screamed out my lungs.
Immediately she turned to look at me, I was already by her side and so I pushed her away causing her to land on the floor with a thud. She was confused as to what just happened.
I was petrified, I am still on my feet. Or did the charm already get to her? No, I cannot be late in rescuing her.
What if she had fallen as a result of the charm hitting her and not as a result of my push? But then she should be wounded or something. She should not just be looking at me in such a way. But why then is she not getting up?
No, I cannot be late.
