...The Switch...

Laila snatched the dagger from Sarra's hands, then she threw it away.

Sarra was confused by that sudden reaction.

- Laila! what are you doing?

But she didn't answer, instead, she pulled Sarra back and stepped forward.

- I'm the witch you are looking for.

Dylan and Sarra were shocked.

- LAILA, STOP! WHAT NONSENSE ARE YOU SAYING?

- GET OUT OF HERE! BOTH OF YOU!

Screamed Laila.

- HOW CAN WE DO THAT? ARE YOU INSANE?

Dylan couldn't understand why Laila decided to do that.

" What the hell is she doing, we didn't plan anything like this!

Mei prepared herself to attack Laila while her eyes were burning with anger.

- Prepare yourself to die...witch.

Laila wanted so badly to save Sarra that she put herself in danger.

" My life doesn't matter, I must save Sarra no matter what. That's the only way to pay my debt to her and her family. "

She pushed her out of the room.

- LEAVE...RIGHT NOW!

At that moment, Mei attacked without hesitation. Fortunately, Laila managed to avoid it, but it won't be the case for the next attack. Mei corned Laila, there is no way she could run away this time. All she could do was close her eyes, waiting for her end.

" This is it, this is the end...I hope everyone will forgive me. "

Dylan was watching nonbelieving how things turned out in a blink of an eye. It is happening again. His beloved one will be killed in front of his eyes while he couldn't do anything except for watching. His heart was beating so fast while his eyes were open wide.

" No, this can't be happening...."

When Mei was about to do her last attack, Dylan jumped in front of Laila and held the sword with his bare hands, before it hit her. He looked at Mei fiercely while his blood started dripping from the sword.

- I'M INDEED A WEAK MONSTER, BUT COMPARED TO A HUMAN, I'M QUITE STRONG. I WILL NEVER LET YOU HARM HER.

He pushed Mei away with all his power, then he held Laila's hand and run out of the room.

- HURRY UP, WE MUST GET OUT OF HERE

Laila was surprised, she grabbed his hand and run as fast as she could.

" I want to live. "

Meanwhile, Sarra went immediately to the room where Annie was sleeping. She held her right away while casting the invisible spell on both of them.

- Annie dear, don't make any sound, we will leave this place.

She waited until Mei run after Dylan and Laila, then she left the room carefully. While she was about to reach the gate, suddenly the grandmother appeared in front of her. Sarra froze in her place, she couldn't make any move.

" She....she is looking right into my eyes. can she see me? but that's impossible! "

The grandmother kept looking at Sarra then she smiled and stepped aside while saying some Chinese words.

Sarra's heart was about to stop.

" W....what did just happen? These humans are very wired...I must focus and get out of this place. Taking Annie to safety is my priority for the time being. I hope Dylan and Laila manage to escape from Mei. "

Sarra left the house and headed toward a safer place. She didn't know what did happen to the rest or in which direction they went. All she could do was sit beside Annie while hoping to see them safe and sound.

Meanwhile, Dylan and Laila kept running as fast as they could, but that won't be enough. They must do something to get rid of Mei who was running after them.

- LOOK, THERE IS A RIVER. WE MUST JUMP IN.

- SHE WILL FOLLOW US TO THE RIVER AND KILL US.

- NO, I HAVE A PLAN, JUST TRUST ME AND JUMP.

Dylan didn't find a choice but jump into the river. Mei saw them and followed them.

" Idiots, it will be easier for me to catch them in the water. "

When she was about to jump, Dylan and Laila suddenly disappeared under the water.

- What is happening? Where are they?

She jumped into the water and searched for them, but she couldn't find any trace of them.

She felt frustrated and very annoyed.

- TH...THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE. HOW COULD I LET A WITCH ESCAPE FROM MY HANDS?

During that time Laila and Dylan were miles away from Mei. In fact, Laila used Artemis to save their lives. He controlled the water flow and shoved them away from that place.

When both of them went out of the river, Laila noticed Dylan's injury. She held his hand to examine it:

- The wound is very deep, we must treat it immediately.

Dylan pulled his hand right away while looking very angry.

- WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT?
