In the elevator, Sabina faced forward settling her purse by her side she clasped her hands together in front of her.
Now that she was alone she felt only a weariness at the idea of this entire debacle coming to an end. Though for her, and the other witches it wasn’t truly at an end. If someone was out there taking young women, and experimenting on them it was going to dig up ten years’ worth of dirt that she and her sister had hoped would remain buried.
But if that wasn’t to be, then it was much better to get a lead on the issue especially before the Jackals or worse, the Blue Jays got fully involved.
She jumped slightly, when one of the guards reached forward and pressed the buttons. “We’ll be stopping on this floor to meet with the cleanser.”
She frowned, as she noticed the floor they’d stopped on was the third floor. The two man didn’t seem thrown off by this, so she decided she must have miss heard and stepped off the elevator. Walking into the dark hallway, she waited for the other two to alight. One took a stance behind her, while the other stood before her.
Led down the hallway, she took in the black and white photos of famous inventors and spell developers. Their figures moving as they got in heated arguments with their neighbors, she squinted at one, where she swore a witch had one of the males in a chokehold. Shaking her head, she continued on. She started to feel a bit of apprehension when instead of stopping at the bathroom, they led her to a door at the end of the hallway.
Glancing behind herself, her nose wrinkled in confusion when she asked, “Shouldn’t I be changing?”
The guard in front of her shook his head. “The priestess has to first check your chakras.”
Hearing this, she narrowed her eyes. “My Chakras? I’m a witch, even I know you don’t have to do that much to purify someone.”
He shrugged, “Her orders.”
Eyeing him, she released a sigh and decided not to fight him. The faster she did what she had to do, the faster she could return to her daughter.
Walking past him, she laid her hand on the doorknob her stomach tightened in warning. But she ignored it, and pushed the handle down.
“Sabina.”
Hearing her name shouted, she turned in time to see Raijin appear in a mist of red. His form filled her vision, as he reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Surprised at his sudden appearance, she could only look up at him in confusion. As she was getting over seeing him so suddenly, she looked to her right to see the two Blue Jays make a move for his back.
“Watch out,” She yelled.
His partners escaped the red mist all looking to intercept the attack.
Raijin moved closer to her to cover her from their attack.
“Raij—,” Her voice was cut off as the door she’d opened released an ominous silvery light. Her voice was swallowed up, as she and Raijin were washed in the light. Her body felt weightless as it was tugged sharply right.
When the blinding light abated, she stared in disbelief at their new location. The smell of wet stone met her nose, as her eyes adjusted to the darkness. A flicker of light came from a single of torch that was raised high above on an iron chandelier.
The light jumped, dancing as it spilled over the edge of the torch and raced down the five long chains, that were connected to a wall. Filling the cavernous room with a blueish glow.
A hand tightening on hers, had her turning her attention to Raijin who laid sprawled beside her. Alarmed she pressed two fingers against his neck and released a sigh of relief that he was still breathing. Removing her hand, she looked around and stiffened when what sounded like stone scraping against the ground filled the chamber.
She scooted closer to Raijin, as if seeking his protection. With him out, it was clear that she alone had to fight whoever was coming. And judging by the level of magic the enemy had used in the transport spell; it wouldn’t be an easy fight.
Once she could see who’d brought her here, Sabina felt shock run through her. Their pearl like skin was complimented by their long dark hair that one had pulled into a high ponytail and the other wore lose. Both had eyes of no color, and looked down their noses at her.
Sabina had wanted to be brave in the face of the new enemy, but she hadn’t counted on facing an extinct race.
The one with the ponytail moved forward first his clothing elaborately detailed with silver thread. He appeared like a mythical prince, only the twisted grin on his face told her he wasn’t interested in saving her.
She scooted back, laying one hand on Raijin’s back wishing he’d wake up.
“You’re the witch.” It wasn’t a question, but a statement as the creature slowly walked down the steps. “It’s been very long since I’ve tasted the flesh of such an abomination.” He drawled, stopping on the second to last step before he gave a little jump, landing on the floor. He walked over to her; his hands stuffed into his pockets. “It been eons,” he stopped right before her.
Sabina tried to keep her expression empty, lifting her chin as a show of bravery.
His hand reached out and he grabbed her neck pulling her up. His movement so fast, she hadn’t been able to evade it.
