427 Take over (1/2)

”Uhm… Alex,” Abi started as she cupped Alex's face after their long and heated kiss. ”What about you? Don't you feel hungry? Y-you have to eat, too.”

Alex blinked at her before he held her hand and entwined their fingers.

”Don't worry, I am still quite satisfied from Zeke's blood,” he said, smiling at her.

Abi was relieved after hearing that, but a part of her wanted to insist for Alex to have a meal just to make doubly sure.

However, before she could speak again, Abi looked up and spotted Alicia through the glass wall. ”Alicia!” she called out and Alex turned as well. He finally put Abi down so she could get to the door to open it for the witch princess.

”Alicia!” she exclaimed as she took Alicia's hand and led her inside.

”How are you?” the witch princess asked as she sat next to Abigail.

”I'm alright now.”

”Glad to hear that.”

”Uhm… where is your crystal ball?” Abi asked when she saw that Alicia didn't have her crystal ball with her.

”I left it in the tent. Why?”

”I…” she paused and glanced at Alex who was sitting across them. ”I wanted you to show me what I did last night; to show me how I ended up in the forest.”

Alicia fell silent. She glanced at Alex. It seemed this man didn't tell Abigail that she too was unable to shed any light to what really happened to Abigail last night. Sighing, Alicia could only explain to Abigail.

”I am sorry, Abigail. I think someone blocked my vision last night because I actually couldn't see anything clearly. And then after that, we spent the time fighting with those creatures so I didn't really get to see what happened,” she explained.

Abigail's shoulders dropped but she didn't look disheartened. ”I see. Alex said someone might have manipulated me. It seems a likely explanation because I cannot remember anything.”

Alicia threw another quick glance at Alex and what she saw in his expression made her realize that he didn't want them talking about this topic any longer.

”That is a possibility, Abigail,” was Alicia's reply.

”Yes, it is. By the way… do you think someone is watching us right now?” Abigail suddenly asks. ”I mean, is it possible for someone to break through your barrier?”

Alicia shook her head.

”No, Abigail. Rest assured no one is able to watch what we are doing right now. Even our queen wouldn't be able to break through my barrier. The only way for others to break through is if they came to the area personally and overwrote my barrier. But I would definitely know if someone is doing that.”

”Then, how did they find out where we are? Were they using the same strategy that you are using?”
