Chapter 498 - The Sacrifice (4)



Lenny held her breath hoping that he would act. When she saw him looking at her with skepticism, she lowered her eyes. "I heard all this when I walked to the backyard. The Head Cook was narrating talking to his assistants." She went on to narrate whatever Kenai told her. Once she stopped, she looked up at him again with all naivety. "I thought I should have informed you." 

"Thanks Lenny," Dmitri replied politely. He looked at his wife who was sleeping all cuddled up and smiled. Then he turned his face to Lenny. "Wait for me outside. I will join you in a moment." 

​​

"Sure," she said. After that the two girls went to the front door to wait for him. 

"I hope that this news is false, Lenny. I just don\'t want anything to mar the happiness of Adrianna. She had been through a lot." 

Lenny lowered her eyes and said, "Yes, I agree." She had a sad expression on her face. 

--- 

Dmitri ambled to his wife. She looked so beautiful in her sleep that he didn\'t want to disturb her. It was a matter that concerned his realm and he would take care of it. He bent to kiss her lightly on her forehead and went to wear his clothes. 

He joined the two girls. 

"Where is Adrianna?" asked Lenny. 

Dmitri ignored her statement. He looked at Nefasky and said, "Nefasky, you should stay here while I go with Lenny to check the problem." He knew what he would do if this was false news. His eyes shifted to Lenny. The gaze was filled with so much displeasure that Lenny cringed. 

"Okay," Nefasky replied. 

Dmitri directed four werewolves in his security to accompany him to where Lenny said. He was in a hurry to dismiss the issue. 

"We need to go to the Healer\'s hut," he said and shape shifted as soon as he was outside the manor. 

One of the werewolves made Lenny sit on him and they bolted. Lenny could have created the portal but she didn\'t know the coordinates. She thought about the time being wasted. However, to her surprise the werewolves charged at such a high speed that she was impressed. They reached the Healer\'s hut within five minutes. All the werewolves shape shifted and searched for the truck. It was found a kilometer away. It had skidded and was now lying on the ground on its side. Dmitri rushed to the driver\'s cabin, but there was no one. The four werewolves pulled the truck back to its position. Lenny gaped at their sheer strength. 

Dmitri hopped in the backside. 

Lenny took the opportunity and on a quick thinking cast "Nescius!" The three werewolves, who were hit by the spell, fell on the ground unconscious. 

Dmitri was shocked to find the butcher dead. "How did this happen?" he asked. "Come inside," he called his security. But no one answered. Instead Lenny jumped inside the truck. 

"Where are the others?" he asked as soon as he saw Lenny. 

"They are unconscious," she replied with viciousness. "Let\'s go Dmitri." 

"What?" Dmitri retorted with hands on his waist. "What nonsense are you spouting?" Sensing something wrong he charged at her. Lenny created a portal immediately and instead of grabbing her, Dmitri landed inside the portal. When he looked back, to his horror, he saw Lenny walking out of it and closing it. "What are you doing?" he shouted at her. 

Suddenly five wizards appeared around him. All of them were wearing cloaks. Dmitri couldn\'t see their faces behind the hood. 

"You did good Lenny," Kenai laughed. "What a lovely vessel for my Master?" 

Dmitri charged again on them, but his movements were immediately arrested. The wizards took him inside. "What the hell are you bastards doing? If Adrianna will come to know, she will kill all of you." 

"How will she come to know?" Lenny asked and then burst into an evil laughter. 

Dmitri could smell the flesh burning. There were three charred bodies that were still tied to the post. He remembered Deba. Her husband wasn\'t found anywhere. His body trembled. He had goose bumps everywhere. 

"Why don\'t we sacrifice him too?" said one of the cult members. 

"No way!" snapped the old priest. "If he is sacrificed, then the Master would resurrect but he will have to find his way inside the Wizard Kingdom yet again. If he possesses the King himself, then he will get access to the kingdom without any delay. Adrianna would never be able to suspect." His plan was too good. He couldn\'t believe that Lenny had found such a fantastic bounty. 

"Are you all mad?" Dmitri shouted. 

The old priest ignored him and addressed his cult members. "Join me in chanting Provbis." He had been waiting for this moment for so long that now he was too excited. The members came closer and closer. 

Suddenly, Dmitri got a familiar smell. He was shocked. Someone known to him was there. Pryce.

He said aloud, "Pryce, wherever you are, help me out of this." But he didn\'t know that Pryce was also chanting "Provbis!" 

Dmitri kept shouting but his voice drowned in the chanting. He struggled to become free but the more he struggled, the more the light beams around his hands tightened. 

Ten minutes after intense chanting, Dmitri was surrounded with grey smoke. He choked as the smoke got into his lungs. His eyes welled with tears. Suddenly he felt as if his chest was getting crushed. Every bit of oxygen was being squeezed out. He started sweating and everything froze. There was nothing. His mind became blank, black. He felt being pushed to the side. In front of his eyes a ghost with hollow eyes emerged. He watched it inching closer to him. Vikra. He kicked his legs towards him. "Go away!" Was he dreaming? He tried to shout but there was no energy left. He felt as though he was being pushed out of his body but he held on to himself. He shut his eyes. Soon he lost all consciousness. 

--- 

When Adrianna opened her eyes, she found herself alone in the bed. Her eyes went to the clock and she smacked her head. It was already 7PM. She had to get dressed. Where was Dmitri? She thought. She removed the blanket and remembered the lovely time spent with him. A blush rose on her cheeks. She bit her lip and then left to take a bath. Before leaving she took a look at the dress she had planned on wearing. She had bought the grape green gown along with Lenny and Nefasky from the Wizard Mall. She smiled. She couldn\'t wait to get inside it. When she came out, there was a soft knock on the door. She wore her bathrobe and opened the door hoping to see Dmitri but instead of him a servant was there. 

"Madam Cora has given this dress to you. She has instructed that you and Alpha have to wear the dresses present in this bag," he said as he handed her a blue bag. 

Adrianna frowned and then closed the door. Her hopes dashed. She opened the bag only to find that the dress that she had to wear was the traditional one that she had worn for her wedding. She became excited again. 

"Where are you Dmitri?" she muttered under her breath. "You have to change into these."
