It's near, he needs to catch up.

If he hurries with full might, he can save her.

Don't worry, she'll be fine!

She's okay!!!

She stronger than normal people.

She'll manage to survive it.

Iven also knew that he was just fake assuring himself.

With that voice, she must have already passed out.

Iason that demon, what did he do to her!!!

This time, if he dare lays a finger on her single strand, he's sure to die!!!

No pity this time.

He'll not let it happen again.

He'll protect the one he cares about,he surely will.

History will not repeat itself!

The area was just round the corner.

Iven was sprinting at an inhumane speed.

He had faith he must make it before something horrible happened to Seb.

Almost there, almost!!!

Belle, Belle please be safe, Iven prayed continuously.

But to his terror, he was late!

Too late!!!

Beaufort street was totally isolated by the time he reached.

No soul in sight.

He looked everywhere screaming Seb's name like a madman, but no reply came.

To his fierce, he found a phone completely stamped on and crushed upon. He recognized Seb's phone.

And also, there was a puddle of dark blood near it!!!

Iven's heart came up to his throat, it almost stopped beating.

He kept gaping at the bloody mess.

”Belle!!!!!”, he screamed her name not knowing what to do. He dropped on his knees, and clasped his hair tightly.

He couldn't even take it out crying.

What he's suppose to do?

She's been taken away.

He couldn't protect her after all.

He's been undeserving.

She's already injured, and now this blow would get the worse of her.

It was all his fault. It was all that useless quarrel. He shouldn't have let her go at all, else this never would have happened.

”Belle....”, this time his was losing power. It was broken and lost,”.....where are you?”. His eyes closed facing down.

”Iven?”, a soft mumble came.

”Belle?”, Iven turned with a jolt, only to his utter disappointment.

Erica stood there.

She approached him.

Her face a mixture of worry and sob. She was weeping quietly!

”Did you see everything?”, Iven asked still looking down with a gentle voice,”Were you with her?”

”It's you right?”, Erica asked him instead, keeping a distance of few centimeters from him. She seemed afraid,”It's you, Iven?”.

”So he came himself?”, Iven said,”The one with my face...”.

Erica understood that it was indeed him.

Only Iven can express such intimacy for Seb.

”He was brutal Iven”, Erica broke down as she took weak steps towards him,”Very brutal, to her!”.

Iven covered his face with his hand.

He doesn't want to even to listen to it.

It wasn't new, Iason is skilled in being brutal. Seb won't be any exception.

Her survival till then was a miracle itself. Only if she can hang on till rescued!

Iven wasn't sure.

Erica wiped her tears continuously.

She didn't question any further.

Iven has never been like this before. This time he must have been deadly hurt from within, being unable to protect Seb is killing him!

”Are....you okay?”, he asked out of the blue.

”Me?”, Erica was amazed,”I....hid. I ran away like a coward, leaving her face all by herself. She fell protecting me, and I just....”, she sighed,”....I shouldn't have listened to her and stayed along with her”.

”No!”, Iven firmed his voice,”You did a good job staying away. Else her sacrifice won't be for any good. It's good that at least you are safe”.

Saying he started to get up.

”She asked me escape at the first chance offered and.....”, she paused,”....get you”.

Iven didn't reply.

She still had trust left in him, after all he let happen.

She might still have faith in him to rescue her....

”She's hurt bad Iven...”, Erica started sobbing again,”....she was bleeding a lot. I saw it all.....still couldn't help her at all. I was such a coward”.

Iven closed his eyes trying to forget what he just listened,'You did well Erica, relax.....”.

Erica wiped off her eyes.

”I know this all happened because she got involved in your issues, isn't it Iven?”, Erica confronted this time,”If you don't bring her back safe, I'll never forgive you!!!”.

Iven clenched his fists, his eyes burned!

His jaw was tightening due to rage.

He didn't express anything.

All his feelings were replaced with fury.

He started walking without saying anything anymore.

”You need to know this before you go Iven”, Erica said,”So that you think about her thrice before you decide what to do”.

Iven stopped, but didn't turn.

”Seb was ambushed while she was coming to see you”, Erica said it,”She blamed no one but herself for everything that happened earlier. I dunno what kind of person you are exactly, and I don't

approve of you, but her feelings for you.....are genuine than anything else! She trusted you even at that perilous time!!! She has never meant those words said to you. So even you.....shouldn't

betray that faith she's on you. Don't let her belief on you go in vain”.

Iven just listened quietly, without any reaction.

Then he just said without turning,”Thank you”, and walked on.

Belle, he said to himself, don't you give up after this. I want to hear these words from your mouth straight. So just hang on a little longer. This time I won't fail you, I promise!

His next terrible words were directed at Iason.

Taking this riot to personal level is the last thing you could've done Iason, before your utter doom!!! And I'll make sure it's the last thing you'll dare to do, because after this.....I'll not leave you capable

of doing anything else!!!
