353: STOP THE CAR!

STOP THE CAR!

"Don't forget your bunny." Calleb came forward with a white bunny in his hand. He held the bunny's long ears as he placed the fluffy animal on Raine's lap.1

"Thank you…" Raine held the docile bunny, which apparently hurt its leg and tried to heal it.

However, as Raine tried to heal the bunny, she also realized that the bird in her hand didn't show any progress. It still looked sickly.

Torak then got into the car and sat beside her while Calleb sat behind the wheel followed by Serefina who occupied the shotgun, and as for Raphael and Jack, they would follow them in a separate car.

"Torak, why can't I heal the bird?" Raine showed the little bird in her hands to Torak. "I can heal the bunny, but why does this bird still look like it is dying?" She frowned.

From the rear view mirror, Serefina threw a look at Torak, yet the Alpha just chose to ignore her.

"This is a mystical beast. Its condition is different." Torak explained to Raine.

"Oh…" Raine nodded her head. Torak's reasoning did make sense for her, thus she didn't ask any further and tried to keep the bird close to her, perhaps, by doing that she could heal the bird faster.

Meanwhile, their cars soon hit the highway that would lead them to the airport directly. Raphael had arranged everything.

When they reached the Airport, Donovan's private airplane would take them back to the Red River City, Torak's territory, once they went there, they would be safe.

"Serefina." Raine called the witch after a long period of silence.

"Hm?" Serefina hummed with her eyes still closed, she seemed to be in pain and was lethargic, even her complexion looked so pale.

"I stopped the time again when we visited the Blue Moon pack." Raine forgot to tell her about this detail and only remembered it now.

"You did?" Serefina opened her eyes, but she closed them again when the sunlight fell on her face. "You did it or did it happen unintentionally?" She wanted the specific detail.

"I think…" Raine stopped to think about that for a moment. "I think, I did it unintentionally."

"So, you still don't know how to control it, correct?" Serefina concluded.

"Well, yeah…" Raine dragged her words. "But, that is not what I want to ask."

"So, what is it?"

"When the time stopped, I am very sure the time was stopped, but the child possessed by the dark magic could move…" Raine then explained briefly about Jade and how she knew about the dark tunnel under the bed, and also about Clarice. "… I mean, how could the child move when everything was so still. The time was stopped and I am sure about that, because Calleb couldn't move as well." She emphasized about her stopping the time.

Serefina opened her lime green eyes again and slightly squinted them against the blazing sun, as if she was deep in thought.

Torak and Calleb were also waiting for Serefina's conjecture, as they couldn't figure out how the child could move under such circumstances.

Before long, she spoke with certainty. "Your blood."

"My blood?" Raine's frown deepened, but Torak's expression turned rigid upon hearing the witch's answer.

"Yes, they used your blood on the child, so he could move even though you used your abilities." Serefina said. She was sure with her statement, because there was no other reason about how the child could move.

"But what about the other creatures inside the house? Do they have my blood too?" Raine remembered the devils had drawn her blood without her realizing it when they were in the library not too long back. "But, they just have a droplet of my blood, how could it be fed to so many creatures?"

"Maybe, all the creatures are not given your blood. Probably the twenty five creatures back there, didn't have it on them." Serefina shrugged her shoulders as she drummed her fingers on her lap. "But, whatever it is, since they have your blood, it is not good for us."

"What were they able to do with my blood, Serefina?" Raine was scared about the potential dangers that she had created unintentionally.

"Since the devils couldn't touch your blood, it should have been the dark witches' work and the dark witches are cunning creatures." Serefina sighed deeply. "Just expect for the worse."

Raine was shocked, her blood could put them in such conditions.

Feeling his mate's distress, Torak comforted Raine by pulling her body closer to him and rubbed her upper arms.

"They will not hurt you." Torak said.

Yet, the thing that truly made Raine anxious was that the devils would hurt many people, many Lycanthropes when they tried to save her.

Raine didn't know which one was worse, putting herself in danger or seeing those Lycanthropes put themselves in front of Raine to die in order to keep her safe.

Whatever it might be, she didn't want both circumstances to happen in their near future.

All they could do now was to get out of this city and return to Torak's territory, once they reached safely, they could move about freely as they had more people to protect their own place.

However, their plan didn't go as smoothly as they expected.

This city had been under the devils' control. Most of the respected figures had gone crazy and were possessed by the dark magic.

The incident that happened in Torak's house just happened less than half an hour, but they had caught the news and sent an order to catch Torak, dead or alive.

The first place that the people from police department tried to secure was, of course, the Airport. As long as Torak couldn't leave this city, they would be able to have their hands on him.

"Stop the car." Serefina said all of a sudden.

"What? Why?" Calleb glanced at the witch, unable to understand her intention. They couldn't just stop the car in the middle of a highway.

[Calleb, stop the car.] Raphael mind linked all the Lycanthropes. [Everyone, stop the cars. We can not move further.]

Torak let out a low, deep growl when he commanded. [Stop the cars and turn around.]
