Chapter 36

Chase P.O.V

My dark eyes met her bright blue one, she stared at me for a couple of seconds, black wings adorn her back. Then she vanished from the view. I frowned searching for her in the wide sky but she was no where to be found.

"What just happened?" Alex said coming towards me, his face set in a confused frown, I was still staring at the sky. It was now turning dark with the dark clouds spreading across the sky and wind blowing at unnatural pace.

"Spell is broken, every creature of this place is free to roam anywhere" Witch said, fear evident in her eyes, she was standing beside Alex looking at the dark sky. We can hear creatures running and yelling sound but no one dare to come close to us.

"Where is Emerald?"

"Wasn't she with you?"

Question after question fired my way but I was stunned in silence, then I felt some one putting their hand on my shoulder "Brother, where is Emerald?" Alex said, I got out of my frozen state and looked at him with vacant eyes "She is gone" I replied clenching my fist feeling anger raising in my veins.

She is actually gone, trapped in a monster mind.

"What do you mean she is gone, you were there with her?" William snapped glaring at me, I opened my mouth to retaliate when someone beat me to it.

"He means that Emerald is gone forever" Rose said appearing in front of us, her bright blue eyes regarding us with mirth. I snapped my head towards her staring at her with blank expression. I don't know how to react to the situation. I was there, I saw Emerald withering in pain while holding the Gem, she called for me, she wanted her mate by her side, I was there watching her change from the sweet girl to dangerous creature but she hasn't done anything to us yet. Maybe Emerald can have control on her body, maybe, just maybe, she is there somewhere.

"Rose" Caleb whispered staring at her in shock. "Hello buddy" she replied walking slowly towards him, smirk evident on her face. Her beautiful wings were gone for now. She stopped few inches away from him but still so close for my liking. "Miss me!" she murmured playfully and I let out a low growl in annoyance, she turned her head towards me and in a blink of an eye was standing in front of me. "Hello there, Almighty King, I was waiting to meet you for a long time" she said touching my face with her index finger, I felt the tingles flowing in my body by her mere touch but I felt disgusted with her touching me. I quickly pushed her hand away.

"Where is she?" I said gritting my teeth and glaring at her. She made 'tsk' sound creating some distance between us. "Well, you will meet her....never" She started chuckling and I growled at her, my eyes turning black.

"Well, well, let him out, I want to brush up my skills before I conquer this world" she said casually, bouncing on her heels.

"Em, I know you are in there, I can feel it, try to control it, please" William said walking towards her slowly, she turned in his direction and looked at him, all playfulness gone from her eyes. Her body became rigid as she stare at him "Em, this isn't you, you are sweet, beautiful, kind, you can do it, you can control her" he continued walking in her direction, she was standing in the same place staring at him with unreadable expression. Then he stood in front of her with affection in his eyes. "You are not the monster" He murmured stretching his hand forward. I watch the scene unfold in front of me. "Will" she said timidly forwarding her hand towards him, suddenly she gave a sly smirk and thrust her hand in his chest breaking the skin and pushing it forward. My eyes widened in shock and I quickly went towards them but stopped in my track when she pulled her hand out covered in blood holding William heart in her hand. William paled and his eyes widened in shock and pain. "But dear, I am the Monster" She smirked and William body fell on the ground with thud. I heard gasp from every one and moved towards her pushing her back, she stumbled a little and get her poise back. I glared at her full force, Katherine quickly went beside William and Caleb stood frozen in his place not believing anything.

She dropped the heart on the ground and smelled the blood from her hand. I scrunched my nose in disgust. "Such a sweet smell" she murmured, her eyes darkening a little. I can hear sobs coming from Katherine, I didn't look at Caleb to see his condition, he must be devastated seeing his one best friend killing other without any remorse. "This isn't you, you will feel guilt after you come back" I said knowing she will drown in guilt. She chuckled "Well, that's the thing King, she is not coming back, she will forever be trapped here" she said tapping to her forehead. I growled "Then I have to kill you" I buffed, I won't actually kill her, it will cause me more pain than to her. Her face changed suddenly, tears appear in her eyes "Please don't kill me Chase, I am your mate" and then her face changed, evil smirk threatened to appear "Do you think I would beg for you to spare me, dream on" she said rolling her eyes.

She is epitome of pure evil, she is just playing with us.

"What do you want?" Alyssa said trying to make her voice strong but it trembled a little. "Now, that's the question I was waiting for" she smirked staring at her in joy. This part of Rose is insane. "Well I will let you on in my secret" she said and suddenly she stand in front for her, "I will destroy this whole world Witch" she whispered in her ear making her stumbled back in shock. She laughed at her reaction.

"That's enough" my voice boomed in the whole forest. My jaw clenched in anger looking at the girl that was my mate but now she is just a vessel of emptiness. "Aw, did I hurt your feeling King" She pouted walking towards me. Weather started changing suddenly, wind blowing at full speed, wiping her hair in her face. Dark cloud covered the whole sky making it look like a night. I know it has something to do with her. She is controlling the nature. She stand in front of me merely a distance away putting her hands on her hips. I want to hate that woman that is standing in front of me, I want to kill her with my bare hands but I can't do that. When I look at her face, I remember the time I spent with Emerald, her stubbornness, her laugh, her smile, her anger, her tears, I can't make myself to hurt her even if I saw her killing her own best friend.

Just then I heard Caleb voice "What will you do after destroying this whole world, huh?" he said getting out of his frozen state, looking at her with hatred. She raised an eye brow at him "Well, I will mold this place according to me" she shrugged and black wings sprout from her back. I stared at her already knowing what she is about to do.

"It was good talking with you guys but I have somewhere to be and then I will come back and finish what I started here" she smirked staring at William body and quickly launched herself in the sky vanishing from the view. "Why didn't you stop her?" Alex said in accusing tone, his facial features in a glare.

"You could have stopped her, why didn't you?" he asked again raising his voice. I looked at him coldly "Because I can not hurt Emerald" I said ending the conversation, he sighed in response "She killed Will" Caleb said in dejected tone bending down on his knees, his eyes filled with tears for his friend. He slowly crawled towards his body taking his pale hand in his warm one. I tore my gaze away from the scene. I have seen death multiple times, I am used to the mourning. "If you want to save your mate, you have to stop her" Alex said staring at the scene in front of him, his hand clenched in fist.

"Tell me everything about her" I said turning my gaze towards Alyssa, who was still trembling in her place.

"We have made a grave mistake, we shouldn't have let her have the Gem" she whispered grimly staring at the ground. "Witch, I said, tell me about her" I asked in loud voice making her shake her head. "She will kill each one of us, she won't spare any one, I see the hunger in her eyes, she will devour this whole world" she rambled, making me furious "I said" I growled but she cut me off with her shouting.

"She is Rose Vanquisher, God send her here from the heaven but she is the Devil in Disguise".
