30 Extricate (2/2)

”i saw it meself Arvid” i uttered in low voice so only he could hear it.

Zerin swiftly turned around leaving Remus's side she ran in opposite direction of the hallway and entered into the chamber, we followed her into the chamber. She was kneeling beside him and shrugging him to wake up ”Shylock open your eyes wake up please” she apprehended patting his cheek.

”Shylock please wake up” she called out his name and he abruptly sat up gasping.

”Thank goodness you're awake” she murmured and breathed in relief, but i can clearly hear it.

Shylock took in her appearance and asked ”are you Okay” she glanced behind him ”yes I'm fine and they saved me” towards me thankfully and Shylock followed her gaze. I felt our energy  unexpectedly making me calm and I glanced back at her with smile.

”Abrax,” he blurted and stood up on his feet bowing his head in front of me.

”pardon me for using your name, my King” he apologised not meeting my eyes.

”the only reason you're alive is because you saved her and she insisted on not leaving you behind” i replied sternly. He nodded in reply. And mumbled a thank you to Zerin. Remus was again on her side holding her close to him, like if he didn't hold her she will be vanished from his site.

”where is Onyx?” Zerin asked looking worried.

”i don't know last i saw him was with you in the woods” Shylock replied looking at Zerin.

”who's Onyx” i asked to Shylock irked.

”please say he's fine” she uttered with tears forming in her eyes, now who is this person she so attached to besides Remus. Jealousy was coursing through me

”he's my snake, my King” he replied. Oh i felt relieved it is snake.

”he's fine and he's the one who brought us here” I said looking at Zerin who was relieved to know he was fine. How is she so kind towards people. I didn't want to look away from her, but I felt heated gaze upon me from Remus, i need to deal with him soon. I just rolled my eyes when he kissed her temple. This Prince is testing my patience which would lash upon him if he continues to act like this.

”can we leave now” i heard Arvid saying.

”yes” i said and walked out of the chamber, once i retrieve Zerin to my castle. I'll come back for you Corin you can't escape after inflicting so much pain on my Zerin.

”you better keep your hands off  her in front of Abrax boy” i heard Arvid saying to Remus, i turned around to look at them and Zerin was not with them. She was with Shylock helping him get out of chains. She's so munificent.

”you think i would do it” Remus scoffed crossing his hands over his chest.

”Arvid let's leave you can have this conversation later” i said and glared at him.

”yes you're right” he quoth gazing Remus and was at my side.

We all together walked out of the chamber and when we exited the house, ”aren't you leaving someone behind Princess” i heard her abhorrent voice from behind, i swerved around to look at her, she clasped that poor snake in chains, when she raised one of her hand in mid air fisting it, chains turned into fiery orange burning his skin. I looked at Zerin who was getting effected immensely by seeing snake in pain, ”no I'm not leaving you behind saving myself, you're in pain because of me. Remus and Shylock endured pain cause of me. These both men who i don't even know risked their lives for me this is all happening only because of me” she said looking at snake tear streaming down her pink cheeks.

”don't blame yourself my love, it's not because of you. Your travails are because of others act” Remus quoth glaring at me. He thinks I'm responsible for her travails.

”i will not leave you to die for me Onyx” she said wiping her tears. She was talking to the snake how could she comprehend what he was saying it surprised me.

What she did next was unanticipated, she pulled herself out of Remus's hold and ran inside the house standing in front of Corin.

”Zerii why did you do that” Remus asked irked by her decision.

”no one will endure any pain for me or die for me” she replied sternly looking back at him.

”she's not so naive as i thought, she did exactly what i wanted not bothering me to say”

”smart Princess” Corin smirked.

When Remus and i tried walking in the house, we were stopped by a transparent shield which wasn't letting us in.

”I'm here now free Onyx and let him go” Zerin said desperately.

Corin deftly followed what Zerin said and let Onyx free to go.

”don't try to act smart you pathetic snake” Corin said when Onyx tried to attack her, ”you don't stand any chance against my powers” she added and with one swift wave of her hand Onyx was thrown out of the house. He came out of the transparent shield easily and fell on the forest ground. I tried entering in but even my magic, power everything was in vain nothing was effecting the shield.

”Corin what do you want, why are you hurting her” i enraged banging my hands on the shield.

”i think you know very well why I'm doing this to her” she smirked.

”you're inflicting pain on her cause you know you don't stand a chance against me”i spat. She only grinned widely on my words.

”kill me and end it for once and all” on hearing that i was staggered to my core.

”no, no what are you saying Zeri please don't kill her Corin, she has nothing to do with it. Don't kill her for someone else act, please i beg you” Remus exclaimed in worry tears flowing from his eyes.

”oh poor lover boy, she has something i want from her” Corin said gazing me.

”once i get it I'll leave her and you both could do whatever you want with her” she added.

No no how could she know about it. She shouldn't know about it, i made sure i erased every thing related to it. How in the hell she knew about it. I need to stop her before she could get it.
