361 Goddess (1/2)

The sound of many wings flapping around her jolted her but she didn't halt. They were probably the minion witches who turned themselves into bats, watching her, stalking her. She didn't want to meet with the corpse-like witches, she wanted the silver-haired witch.

She continued walking deeper inside but no one appeared before her. Did they want her to keep going? She looked around and thought that this wasn't the area she saw in her dream so she kept walking. She walked a few hundred meters further and she finally found the place. There was a small, circular patch of flat grass which was unique to see in a forest like this. It was definitely not natural.

”Hello? I am here now. Where are you?” she called out again.

She waited for an answer but there was none. Nobody appeared.

Abi sighed. It seemed she would have to use her ability after all.

She closed her eyes to listen to what was happening around her.

Abi's eyes widened because the first thing she locked onto was a man's voice. Abi shivered and she found herself hiding behind a tall tree. It was probably a futile move but she did it anyway.

”Don't run, witches… come at me!” a menacing voice thundered in her ears. The voice was still a fair way away from where she was but it still sent shivers down her spine.

She focused and she was shocked once again because this time, she heard both kinds of heartbeats. Witches and vampires.

Why were the vampires here? Were they here to hunt down the witches?

Abi heard a fight break out. It was as if one of the groups went on a killing spree and Abi could tell it was the vampires who were killing the witches.

”Where's your queen?” the man asked and she heard a woman shriek as well as gunshots. Were they shooting the witches?

”That's it, shoot those fucking sneaky birds down!”

Abi was starting to feel scared. She hadn't expected to walk into this and even more terrifying was the fact that she was supposed to feel at ease because vampires were there, but she didn't. For some reason, her stomach began to knot in fear.

Feeling that there was something wrong, Abi started to move. She was going to leave this place. She shouldn't have come.

She was about to start running back when suddenly, someone grabbed her from behind. Her heart almost leapt out of her chest!

Abi had been too focused on keeping an eye on the vampires that she didn't notice the heartbeat of the witch who was approaching her.

She was about to scream but a hand covered her lips. Oh god… what had she gotten herself into?

”Don't scream,” the goddess said and when Abi nodded, the silver-haired witch removed her hand from Abi's mouth. ”Follow me,” she then said as she grabbed Abi's wrist and dragged her away.

”W-where are you taking me? And why are vampires here?” Abi asked. Abi wondered why she did not feel scared of this silver-haired goddess.
