Chapter 210 - Punishment Of Enchantress Part 2
Sabrina was skilled in healing scars from a fairy\'s body. After rearranging her powers, she could heal Esme\'s deep pained spot very fast. She was blessed with healing powers which were too uncommon among fairies. Sabrina was the only one fairy who had possessed such blessing power that Esme had ever seen.
Within a very short moments, her blood had finally stopped to an end. Feeling relaxed after enduring a scroce of pain, Esme looked up at the way where Enchantress was being tortured by Linda and other companions.
Enchantress was another proud woman whose head was filled with egos. Even at this crucial moment,she didn\'t agree to retreat her fellows and continued being stubborn. Her only skeptical thought was buzzing inside her brain that even if she didn\'t gain her goal, she would torment others till death.
Esme narrowed her dark blue eyes looking at her stubborness. Hauling up from the ground, she walked over to her followed by Sabrina who was still worried about Esme\'s health.
Enchantress was in relief for a few moments as Esme commanded them to wait for her. Esme paused few steps away from her fallen figure and gestured towards Linda to step back.
Linda compelled obediently and slowly walked behind Esme with others. Esme held her head high and asked in an icy voice,
" You won\'t command them to retreat, isn\'t it Enchantress? "
Enchantress heard her words vaguely in her poor state and felt a shiver running through her spine. Esme\'s tongue held an unknown threat invisibly that gave her bad feelings. After hesitating for a while, Enchantress mumbled scratching the ground under her nails angrily,
" No! "
Esme\'s expression turned a stormy one as she smiled at her guts amusingly. Indeed she was the baddest witch on earth. Even though she was standing between death and live, she still wanted to continue harming other innocent ones.
But Esme wasn\'t merciful this time. Her eyes darkened more as she lifted her one hand in the air. Rolling it inside the air, suddenly her palm fired up emitting a burning flicker.
Enchantress managed to take a glimpse of that fire ball as she blurted out shockingly,
" How.. could you..can.. control..fire? "
Esme smiled faintly and responded proudly,
" You forget that I have king Henry\'s blood in my veins, Enchantress. You are no match with my powers if you didn\'t harm in my weakest spot."
Esme aimed her fireball towards Enchantress immediately. The next moment, another ear piercing cry thrilled inside the air as Enchantress\'s whole body was burning in fire. She was rolling and twisting over the ground painfully while shouting desperately in pain.
Esme\'s palm didn\'t lit off instead her other palm joined in combining another powerful fireball. Holding them in the midair above her head, Esme asked gnashing her teeth together,
" Tell me now, will you command them to retreat or not? "
Enchantress was still in deep pain and continued rolling like a meatball over the floor. She still had the conscious of hearing out Esme\'s words but she refused to answer. When Esme failed to receive any answer from Enchantress, her anger erupted like volcano.
She kept approaching her holding the fireball in her hands and warned dangerously,
" Last time Enchantress. If you don\'t follow my order now, I will keep burning your body for eternity. Do you believe that or not? "
Finally Enchantress could no longer endure such pain anymore. The worst part was that her skin was getting numerous scars yet she didn\'t die. The process continued recycling repeatedly which made her pain raising ten folds more.
She gritted her teeth harder and mumbled while grunting in pain,
" No...No... Don\'t.. don\'t... come near me..I..I..am asking them..to retreat.."
Esme still felt suspicious with her sole promise and continued standing close so that she could hear her out. After figuring out that she had no more options left to choose, Enchantress finally communicated with her soldiers through mind and commanded briefly,
" RETREAT ! "
As soon as her command came out, the sight inside the battle field changed rapidly. The dark shadow soldiers suddenly vanished away leaving all of them in astonishment. Athena finally heavied a sigh of relief after predicting that Enchantress must be in Esme\'s capture. The vampires all had a puzzled expression on their faces as they didn\'t know who managed to get rid off them so easily. They started to gossip among each others and finally their attention was fell on Aaron who didn\'t show up during the entire battle.
Esme smiled contentedly when the snarling of vampires started to dissapare which refered that the battle was no longer going on. She extinguished the fireball from her palms and reduced the pain on Enchantress\'s body. She withdrawed her fire spell from Enchantress\'s body and let her be in peace momentarily.
Exhaling a deep sigh, she turned around and faced her fellow sisters absentmindedly who all had their heads down in respect. She ordered weakly peering her eyes behind them,
" Take her away from here and do as I told. Use all of your powers to create a barrier around her caged spot. I don\'t want her out of that place at any cost."
They all nodded in unison and Linda finally picked up the courage to ask lowly,
" Pr.. Princess.. What.. What about you? Won\'t you return with us? "
Esme didn\'t answer fast and kept in silence for a while. Tugging her gown uneasily, she answered like whisper,
" You all go fast. I have my personal matters to handle, Linda."
Linda didn\'t persuade the matter anymore and sighed softly after thinking about her marriage with Aaron. Soon after, they left the vampire world carrying Enchantress\'s burning body and headed to comply Esme\'s command.
Only Esme and Aaron were left in the valley. The forest no longer felt haunted like before and carried a peaceful aura after Enchantress\'s departure. The birds chriped naturally from their nests and finally everything had returned to their normal place.
But a certain someone\'s heart started to beat wildly as she stood unmoved in her spot too afraid to get closer. Aaron had still conscious and vaguely witnessed what just happened with Enchantress. He was proud over his woman but at the same time, an unknown fear quickly started to bloom out from his weak heart.
He struggled to get up and each time fell down midway whenever he managed to lift up. Esme swallowed down her bitter feelings forcefully and started to approach Aaron slowly after closing off her wings.
She reached over to him, knelt down and helped the man to get up. Holding his shoulders, she tugged him to sit straight and watched his fresh blood deeply. Her heart wrenched in pain when he smiled at her widely through his bloodstained teeth.
Following moment, his weak voice came out vulnerably,
" You did it."
Esme swallowed and answered like a whisper,
" Yes, I had to handle her since you were sick."
Aaron smiled faintly but the smile contained a deep adoration towards her spirit. For a moment, Esme was bewildered by his deep mystical eyes and felt that they were returned to their earlier days just after marriage.
But the reality was totally opposite than she wished. The pain was still there deeply piercing through her heart each time she memorized.
Her unconscious hand reached out for his bloodstained lips shakingly and finally wiped it off cautiously as if she was touching a precious treasure.
Her tears threatened to fell down but she held it down forcefully. She greedily stole a closer look of his alluring face which once made her believing in love, sacrifice eagerly.
Without uttering anymore words, the girl pulled the dazed man in her embrace tightly and buried her face inside the crook of his neck stuffily. A moment later, Aaron vaguely heard her choking tongue whispering beside his ears and at the same time pierced through his heart deeply,
" Aaron.. Drink it.. Please.."
