Chapter 302 - Three Hundred And Two: The Earthquake

Cassie was uneasy, she wondered why she was summoned to the council today. Inwardly, she has a faint premonition it had to do with that prophecy. Ever since she gave out that revelation, she became quite famous. She means sitting amongst the council head was a dream come true for every seer, but to Cassie, it was her worst nightmare.

She knew what they wanted, Lia.

Truth be told, she would have told on her a long time ago but she held back because of the promise she made to aunt Miranda. But the way things were going, she didn\'t know how long she can keep that secret.

Moreover, the visions were beginning to scare her, to be honest. She knew what she saw and it had not been funny at all.

"Go in," the escort ushered her into a room that was lit with white blinding light - almost as if she was in heaven.

Everything was in white and in the middle of the room was a desk with a man sitting beside it.

She knew him, it was Kun, the head in charge of the Antarctic. Every time she saw him, all she kept imagining was that he was some merman that lived under the sea; straight blonde hair falling over his shoulder, piercing blue eyes, and blue lips. The way his eyes looked into hers, made her nervous - It was almost as if he could see through her.

"Thanks for honoring my invitation," He said, his voice deep yet pleasing to the ears.

Cassie looked down on her seat to ensure there wasn\'t any weird object nor inscription on her chair, she didn\'t trust these witches one bit.

They sat directly across from each other, Cassie had to look around to avoid looking into those eyes.

"You know me, right? " Was his question.

Her face slightly creased, what kind of question was this? Was this some sort of game? She didn\'t like it at all.

"Yes, I know you, sir," Cassie answered.

"Then you must know why you are here?" he asked, with a face so indifferent she wondered if he was capable of sentiments at all.

"I don\'t understand -"

"The prophecy," He interrupted her, "Tell me about it once more,"

Cassie cracked her neck slightly, gulping down saliva. Was this it? Her horoscope this morning wasn\'t encouraging, was this the big event?

"I can\'t remember much, but all I know is that there was death. A girl, she stood upon piles and piles of bodies. I could hear the wailing of souls in agony and the strong stench of death," she finished her narration.

"You remember this much, yet you can\'t remember the face of the girl," His eyes held suspicion.

Cassie\'s toe curled, she grasped her clothing underneath the desk tight while lowering her eyes. She wasn\'t a good liar, it was a miracle she had come this far with this tale.

"Is there something you\'re not telling me? " he asked, placing his hand on the desk and leaned closer.

"No, sir," Cassie shook her head

"If you\'re under pressure or someone\'s threatened you not to say something to me. Just trust and rely on me, I\'ll help and solve everything," his face showed concern - the first emotion he\'s displayed since they began.

He stood from his seat, Cassie became alert yet didn\'t make a move. She knew she couldn\'t defeat him, he was a witch - not just a simple one, but the head- that could kill her without moving a muscle. If she were to escape, she would need a distraction plus timed speed.

Kun sat on the desk, beside her and lifted her face by the chin, turning her to look at him.?Cassie shivered, staring into those boring eyes.

"I\'m not going to kill you, you just need to trust me," He caressed her face with the thumb of his hand.

Cassie was almost tempted to open her mouth, his eyes were persuading. But then, she remembered her mother and what they did to her because of a single mistake.

The girl was no fool, she saw what Lia had done in that vision. The council doesn\'t believe in redemption or a second chance, they would exterminate her the moment they find out. Cassie had no feelings of pity for Lia, their friendship was so yesterday. She was just doing this for her aunt - honoring her wishes.

"No, there\'s nothing I\'m hiding from you," Was her final reply.

"Alright," Kun nodded, withdrawing his hand.

Cassie sighed inwardly, that was close.

Kun breathed, "I\'m sorry,"

"Huh?" Cassie\'s brow drew together in confusion.

"This is going to hurt," He said.

Before Cassie could figure out what he was up to, he had already clasped?her head, chanting with his eyes closed, "Indica mihi, est quod scire,"

As soon as he was done, Cassie screamed. Her head swelled with pressure, it was almost as if he was inside her mind,?glancing through memories upon memories.

There he saw it, a girl standing on a pile of bodies with her fangs sunk in the neck of a woman, draining her of all blood till she was pale and dead. She tossed the body aside negligently, the corpse falling on top of the others in a diverse askew position, with an aghast expression on their faces - they must have died a horrendous death.

The girl had long brown hair, blood trailing down the corner of her mouth, her cherry lips curved to the side in a wicked smile. She had an outwardly beauty however, her eyes... they were so dark; dark to the extent one couldn\'t differentiate the whites, she almost looked like a demon.

Both pulled away with a gasp the instant it was over.

Cassie fell to the ground, vomiting her gut out. Kun held onto the table for support till vertigo went away; he reeled from what he just saw.

When she recovered, Cassie shot up to her feet angrily, " You violated me!",

"I gave you chances but you didn\'t take it!" He retorted.

"Still, that doesn\'t give you the right to use me the way you did!" Cassie had the urge to tear him apart - if she could.

"You lied to me and the council, that\'s a big offense which you would pay for," He said and moved his fingers, the door opened and two guards rushed in, grabbing her.

"No, let me go!"?She struggled against their hold but they were too strong.

"I\'ll give you one more chance," He offered, "Who is that girl in the prophecy?"

She scoffed at him, "Go to hell,"

"Don\'t say anything then, I already have everything I wanted," Kun muttered and conjured some sketchbook from nowhere.

"Manum meam, sicut mihi," He placed his hand on the book and the image of Lia - as has been in that vision - appeared. Cassie was dumbfounded, this was major witchcraft.

"You can take her away," He ordered the men, "Make sure you lock her up, she might still have some usefulness later," He said with no care.

"Yes, Head Kun," Both bowed and began to lead her out.

"I hate you! You all are animals! I hope she kills you all!" Cassie rained obscenities on him.

Kun simply willed the door to snap close as soon as they left, she was so loud. He stared at the painting, deep in thought.

Was this the Messiah, the weapon Islinda spoke about? He traced the painting of the girl; so young, beautiful, innocent yet deadly. They can\'t keep her alive. With this painting, they could be able to track her down.

Kun was already contemplating his next course of action when the building suddenly shook, he held onto the table, was this an earthquake?

However, it lasted a few seconds. What just happened? This was no ordinary earthquake - nothing happens in LiitleTown for no purpose. He had to check it out.

He made it out of the room just to bump into Selena as soon as he turned around.

"Tell me you felt that too?" He asked her.

"Definitely," She answered, "Little town never experiences earthquakes, that must have been some supernatural disturbance,"

"We should track it down,"

"I already did," She placed some spell on the watch in her wrist which displayed how many kilometers away they were from the scene of the incident.

"That\'s a thousand plus kilometers away from here. Whatever happened must be something big," Kun added.

"Let\'s go," Selena grabbed his hand and they walked into a portal she had summoned.

They appeared in a hayfield.

"We are in the right place and something big did happen," Kun observed the ruined barns, the dead cattle, and damaged wind vanes

"What do you think happened? You think the dark witches had something to do with this, maybe they did some dangerous spell or something?"She questioned curiously...

"I don\'t think so," Kun squatted down, rubbing something from the ground.

"What is that?" Selena squatted beside him too.

"Blood," He smeared the thick liquid between his fingers, "And it\'s fresh. Whoever did this was here a while ago and it\'s no witches from what I see. There\'s no circle drawn nor do I see ashes… wait a minute," something clicked in his head, he looked towards her with suspicion, " How did you find here so easily?"

Selena\'s expression distorted, "Always the smart one, Kun"

Realizing something was amiss, Kun sprang up to his feet to retaliate but met Islinda instead.

His eyes widened, "Y-you..."

She smiled at him, "Nice to meet you, Kun," her smile ceased and she blew at his face, "somnum,"

He lost consciousness.

"Nice job," Islinda praised Selena by her side, "The other heads naturally follows Kun\'s decision. So now we have him, you know what to do,"
