17 Chapter - 17 (2/2)

His appearance totally changed, his skin became wrinkled and old. He looked very scary and his face showed no mercy.

”Everyone run,” Sussan shouted. She took a little bit of 'birneoseis' powder and murmuring some magical words, she threw it at him.

But before it could even touch him, he shifted and moved like the wind behind Sussan. Brenda opened a portal and pushed the old man into it. While he was pushed, he held Sussan and tried to pull her with him.

Cathy came running towards them and took a magical knife and threw it at the old man. It went straight for his chest, and so to avoid it he left Sussan's hand.

”You ok, dear?” Cathy asked Sussan.

Sussan just fell down because of the force and hit the rock next to her.

Sussan could not process, what had just happened? If David is not David then where is David? Whatever happened today had made Sussan wonder what she should actually believe and what she should not?

At that time, Peter along with Robert jumped out from a portal. Everyone looked at them in awe. Cathy was the first to react and ran towards Robert to hug him.

”Robert, my dear grandson! You are back! How could you leave such an old lady alone with your mother? You know how horri..”

Before Cathy could complain, Brenda shouted, ”Mom...”

Peter went near his mother and kneeled down before her. She put his hands on her shoulders and said,

”It's going to be ok, Mom! Let us go find, Dad. We will find them together. Do not worry, I am here for you”

She lifted her head and looked at Peter, she hugged him and whispered into his ears, ”I have the book”

”I know but let us not talk about it now, Mom. We need to go and help rescue Aunt Linda” Peter said.

Sussan turned and looked at her clan who was now standing around them. Hiding her fear and sadness she looked around and said, ”Now it is our time to fight back and not to run. We are brave, we have magic in our hands, We know these witches can disguise themselves and can mingle with us. So if we are cautious and act with our cunningness which our ancestors taught us, then we will be the winner and no one can stand against us.”

”I want you all to go back to the border, while I and my mother will go rescue the people who the Old witch imprisoned. Cathy will lead the group but do not try to cross the border until you see my signal across the border”
