Chapter 525 - That Thing is Here (2/2)

”The rain had stopped completely and the trees had stopped swaying. It was so windy just a few minutes back and now the sir didn't even move. There was not a single noise except their accelerated breaths that could be heard. It wasn't spooky. It was eerie. It was a kind of silence that fell just before a storm. It sent shivers down Adrianna's spine.

A door in the back creaked open tearing the silence. Adrianna's blood chilled in her veins and a whimper was heard along with iron nails clawing the electric wall.

The spirit immediately made its way to the door.

Adrianna cursed the person who opened the door. Niiya couldn't give even a small instruction. She gritted her teeth. ”I am going inside,” she declared.

”I am also coming with you,” Inyanga said holding her hand.

”Haldir you stay out and keep attacking any source you see is shady, okay?”

”Okay, My Queen,” he replied.

The two wizard Queens got sucked in a vortex and they entered the restaurant. They noticed that everyone was quiet. Ookashi had shrunk in fear. She was huddled in Niiya's arms. Nate was holding their baby while Liam and Fleur were with Dmitri who had Ileus pressed against his chest.

”Adrianna, that thing is here,” he croaked.

Everyone looked at him with wide eyes. What was he talking about? ”What is it?” asked Niiya.

”I can't explain,” he replied with a slight shrug.

Fleur created a protection shield around the group and came to Adrianna. ”What is it? Please tell me.”

”Fleur, come back,” Liam shouted.

”No, I will come after we have dealt with whatever is here,” she answered.

”There's a spirit. I suspect that some stupid staff opened the door from behind and it might have entered inside,” Adrianna explained.

”But I saw an electric blast outside. That means that it couldn't enter,” Fleur said. Her answer surprised Adrianna. She wasn't expecting anyone to know that.

”I am also a witch, Adrianna. And I had been in your personal security. That means I am a highly specialized witch,” Fleur winked.

Adrianna nodded with a faint smile. ”It's just that I am suspecting. It is possible that I am wrong. It is possible that the electric force repelled the staff. But I don't want to take the chances.”

On the backside of the restaurant, the Junior Chef had sneaked out for a smoke defying the orders of the owners. However, as soon as he had stepped out, a white crackle of beam appeared in the air in front of him and he stumbled back and turned away to protect his face. To say that he was shocked was an understatement. He rubbed his eyes to affirm whether what he was seeing was not a dream. With shaky breaths, he extended his hand as if to touch the air that felt like a wall. As soon as his finger touched the wall, the light crackled again but this time his body jerked. He shivered uncontrollably. His finger was stuck to the invisible wall as if someone had glued it there. After a few seconds his body was thrown a few feet away and he slammed in the wall. The Junior Chef c.o.c.ked his head and got up. The black of his eyes expanded. Throwing the cigarette, he walked out of that place with the back of his head bleeding. The blood dripped down his neck.
