16 Chapter - 16 (2/2)

”That's correct! I saw her turn her head towards me without turning her body but when I told everyone they laughed it off” Draven shouted from behind.

”Where is my aunt Linda?” Peter asked while his eyes turned dark red and blue flames raised from his body.

”So you met that coward, he could not fight with us, so went to hide but I know for sure that he gave you his powers, then that means he is already dead. Hahaha…” Linda laughed and disappeared into the air.

”Everyone started searching the area, find her at all cost” James shouted.

But whoever tried to move even an inch felt like they were sinking into a deep pit. Many of them fell into the pit and nobody could help them out. Even the one who tried to pull them up went along with them instead.

”Stop moving! She turned the whole place into a deep hole and if you fell down there, then there is no coming out” Peter said.

After analyzing the area, Peter found out that nothing was happening to him. He realized that this magic is actually from Ashes itself and because of that he was not affected and instead he like he is home.

”We need to create several portals and send everyone out using that. I will try to move everyone out using my power but I don't know how much it could work as I am more surprised myself than anyone here.” Peter said.

Robert felt his friend was not his friend anymore. He not only looked different but he behaved differently. Did the poison roast his brain and make him smarter and sharper?

Should he have taken the poison instead? Then he could have become like him as well and he would not feel like left alone by himself. He could have also helped Peter now.

Once almost everyone had left on the portal, only Elly, James, Robert, and Draven stood in that area.

Peter asked Elly, ”Elly, I need you to be brave and go with uncle James and Draven to save our aunt Linda. Will you do that for me?”

”But Peter, what are you planning and why are you not telling us anything? What are you hiding, Peter?” James asked.

He was worried something was wrong with Peter and he did not understand why Peter would ask Elly to go with them on such a dangerous operation? Isn't he supposed to worry about her safety?

Normal Peter would never send his own sister into danger. He even came here all by himself to rescue his sister but now he is sending her back? Why? He just could not understand this Peter anymore.

”James, Elly knows in and out of the witch's place and she can help you locate Linda. It would be much better with help rather than going there blindly and trying to fight her” Peter said.

Even though what Peter said made sense, still James could not bring himself to take Elly with him. But before he could oppose the idea once more, Peter shouted, ”It is an order”

James automatically replied, ”Yes sir”

Once they left, Robert looked at Peter with a worried look along with fear. His face looked funny as he changed it between fear and worry simultaneously.

”I am sorry if I frightened you. I will just send you back along with them.” Peter said and tried to move towards Robert.

”No! No! It's fine. It is just that this is all too much to take right now”, Robert said.

”I know! Even though I don't know what came over me right now and why did I talk to everyone like that? I know one thing for sure, all this which is happening is related to the guy I met in my…Aaahhh” Peter held his heart and kneeled on the ground.
