#Chapter2:-

Ethan was heading to Nicola's room, which he recognized by the elegant calligraphy of her name inscribed in the center of a resplendent gold star adorning the the door, when The black guard standing at the door stopped him, saying: "Where do you think you are going?" He was bald, with a husky voice, a big build even bigger than Ethan, wearing black pants and a black short-sleeved T-shirt, and had some tattoos on his arms.

And his eyes was soo red as red as a ripe tomato in August.

Ethan took a few steps inside the room, contemplating Nicola's beauty, who was sitting adjusting her makeup in front of the mirror facing him with her back.

She was gorgeous, with a perfect hourglass figure, glowing tanned skin, dark brown hair in a long ponytail, and captivating hazel eyes , wearing a yellow beaded costume .

The features of her face were as if designed to meet the standards of beauty by the centimeter, her eyes were large and raised upwards, the cheekbones were reasonably prominent, her nose was long, sloppy, raised at the tip, and the bottom of her chin formed a triangular ridge.

But this Charming beauty is nothing more than a lie, a fake veneer under which mold hides. She is nothing but a lecherous crone, a poisonous snake whose head must be cut off and completely eliminated.

She turned to him with a wide smile and said Falsely : There you are, I've been waiting for you all day .

Then she went back to the mirror and said in a dry, serious tone, while passing the highlighter brush on her cheeks and the tip of her nose.

where is the book .Ethan shook his head in shame and said : I couldn't get it .

She turned to him, and the anger evident on her face.

and said :what do you mean I couldn't get it , I entrusted you with a simple tsk, go over there and get me that f*cking book , what will I gain from you when you are empty-handed?

Ethan said in self-defense : It wasn't my fault, Nicola, I was very close to getting it when that girl appeared again and started killing everyone she saw and then the temple collapsed and during all this I lost the book .

" the same girl ?" (Nicola)

The man shook his head affirmatively .

Nicola got off the chair and her old assistant put the cloak on her shoulders .

"That doesn't excuse you Ethan", Nicola said and left leaving Ethan and the old lady alone in the room.

The old lady got too close to Ethan and inhaled his stench and snorted with ecstasy.which made Ethan feel uncomfortable , she came close to his ear and whispered to him in a hoarse masculine voice : you are starting to become useless to her, which means I'm starting to get close to feeding on your heart and throwing you a lifeless and empty corpse from the inside.

His pupils dilated, and he swallowed his saliva, Ethan knew that his end was near.

backstage. ..

Nicola was standing watching the presenter as he made her entrance." You all know her, she's beautiful, she's professional, she's got style, and she frightens us at times. Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands up for the greatest witch who once stood on this stage, Nikki."The audience chanted " Nikki Nikki"

Nicola appeared from the clouds of smoke, and the cheering of the crowd increased.Nicolas grabbed the microphone and said :

" Thank you, Thank you for first trick I need a volunteer ."she chose a man who raised their hands and asked to go on stage she grabbed the man's hand and then asked her assistant to cover them up.

A few seconds passed and smoke started rising from under the lid. Nikki asked the assistant to lift the lid. The assistant removed the cover, and the sounds of gasps arose between the stands, and the shock on the faces of the spectators, so that some of them vomited from the scene in front of them.

Nikki's head was on the man's body and vice versa , It was a surprising and frightening scene.

*************

Jessica sat on her bed looking at the carvings engraved on the handle of her dagger, a look of resentment and shame on her face.

Her grief over the loss of her father did not decrease for a day, but it was increasing and her anger increased with each passing day, and that freak is still alive, every breath he takes provokes her as if he is mocking her, as if he is saying, “Look, I killed your father and got away with it, and I am still alive.” And you can't do anything. Her feeling of helplessness was suffocating her.

The door knocked and Katherine and Gabriel entered.

" what happened ".(Katherine)

Catherine was very tall with short black hair, blue eyes, and thick black eyebrows, wearing a black shirt, a black leather jacket with a high collar, narrow sleeves, and black pants.

As for Gabriel he was a handsome young man with dark brown hair, wheatish complexion, dark eyes and black eyelids, with a slender figure, he wears short-sleeved black pants and a shirt that shows his fully tattooed arm with strange symbols and letters.

"he ran away again"(Jessica)

"and the temple"(Gabriel)

Gabriel had had a Latin accent that made his hoarse voice even more attractive.

'' it collapsed" (Jessica )

"At least we done with the temple " (Gabriel)

Liam walked past the room as if he was looking for someone, his and from his hasty steps and the tension on his face were evident it was clear that it was serious. He turned back when he glimpsed Jessica in her room. "Victoria wants you in her office," "Now". Liam said in a tone that was not at all reassuring.

Jessica stood in front of the door and took a long breath and then entered the room where Victoria was standing in front of the window turned her back to Jessica.

" close thedoor and sat down. "

Jessica did what she ordered and sat waiting for her to speak, Victoria was very assertive woman and everyone feared her and thought instead of a thousand times before speaking,when they spoke to her, even Jessica, who dose not afraid of anything.

After a long time Jessica was waiting for Victoria to say one word at last she spoke.

"You know why you're here right Jessica".Victoria's accent was as arrogant as that of the aristocracy of the past.

"yes"Jessica answered .

She turned and sat at her desk opposite Jessica, who rolled her eyes to the floor .

Victoria was an old lady with short blonde hair thattends to white, professionally styled, pale white skin, blue eyes, and nose raised to the sky .

"I should have gone alone when my father was killed in front of my eyes I was alone and when I avenge him I will be alone "(Jessica)

"What a foolish logic, look at those tombstones".Victoria said , pointing to the window, and continued," Here lie many of the brave Virfortis who were Clude's Knights, including your father, they all died honorable deaths , don't expect me to bury you with them when you die while you're on a suicide mission like this".

" But "Jessica said but Victoria interrupted her," but what Jessica , did you get the book ?"

(Victoria)

"No "Jessica replied."

"did you ravenge your father?"(Victoria)

"No" Jessica replied.

"Of course you didn't ,all you did was disobey me for the second time, Jessica, for the second time in a row, and incited others to disobey me in order to cover you up in order to perform a dangerous mission that I forbade you from."(Victoria)

"Catherine and Gabriel have nothing to do with it , punish me instead of them.It's all my fault " (Jessica)

" Catherine and Gabriel have already been punished, but you are going to polish all the weapons in the equipment room While I'm thinking of a suitable punishment " .(Victoria)

Jessica got up from the chair and her eyes on the floor.

Victoria stopped her in front of the door with her warning :

"it's the second time Jessica, you know what will happen the third time".
