A week filled with sorrows II
She was led into the house by the man.
“Mrs Warren.” She called out as she saw the woman sitting on a chair in the big room with two men behind her.
She already knew that she was only the person who could do such. “Please let my mother go. I’m the one who offends you.” She cried, but the woman just scoffed.
“Let her go? Do you think I’m a fool?” Madeline asked with an angry tone before turning to one of the men behind her. “Bring that girl in.”
The man left the room and came back with a girl on a chair. Her hands and body were tied to the chair. “Hmm. Hmm.” She couldn’t talk because of her sealed lips. The man dragged the chair to the side of the room.
Ellie fell to her knees and pleaded, “Christina! Please let her go. She knows nothing about this.” She never thought that she would still risk her friend’s life. What would her friend be thinking of her?
“And you still decided to bring her here? You must be really stupid to think you could mess with me ” Madeline scoffed.
“Please, Mrs. Warren. I’ll do it. I’ll reject your son and leave his life this minute. Please just let them go.” She pleaded with tears.
Madeline stood up from the chair and walked closer to her, but made sure not to touch her. “It’s already more than that, girl.
“Bring her aunt in.” Madeline commanded, but Ellie did not even care about how she addressed her mom; all she wanted was to leave with Christina and her mom.
“Mum.” She stood up to run to the woman that had been brought into the room, but a man quickly held her back down.
“Ellie.” Mrs. Loren called out with a smile and tears on her face.
“I finally caught you after so many years, Louise. Didn’t you think for once that you might get caught?” Madeline scoffed before sitting back on the chair.
“Please let Ellie go. She knows nothing about this.” She never thought her daughter would find out about the truth in a painful way.
“Let her go? She’s the result of your evil deeds.” Suddenly, she stood up again and walked towards the woman. “We took you in, clothed you, and fed you, but what happened? You, weak humans, backstabed us and did forbidden things.”
Louise sniffed. “They loved each other, Madeline.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
Ellie, who was just staring at the both of them from where she was kneeling, knew instantly what they were talking about. What she saw was true, but she never thought Alex’s mother would know about her parent’s death.
“What’s going on here? Did… did you kill my parents?” She stood up from the floor and asked as she choked on her tears.
Madeline turned to where the voice came from and smiled. “They deserved to die. Giving birth to a half-human like you is forbidden. I finally found you after so many years.”
“You killed my parents.” Ellie dashed towards her, but the men held her back. All of a sudden, she felt weak, and she knew what was happening. She was too angry to control herself.
Her eyes suddenly turned green, and the man holding her suddenly fell backwards to the ground and dropped dead at once.
Everyone in the room stood rooted to where they were. Even Christina, who was struggling to get herself free, could not move or make a sound. A cold sweat ran out of her forehead as she watched her friend, who had become something she couldn’t explain.
“You shouldn’t have harmed them,” Ellie said slowly as she walked towards the woman. Her hair was flying backwards with the breeze, and her green eyes were blazing with anger.
Madeline was so shocked that she couldn’t even move closer to Ellie. She grabbed the knife on the table and walked back slowly. “This is why half-humans like you are forbidden.” She screamed, which got Ellie even more angry. She was about to dash towards her when she suddenly heard, “Ellie!” It was her mother’s voice that was still lying on the floor.
All of a sudden, the door was pushed to the ground, and some men rushed in with guns in their hands. “Mother! What… what are you doing here?” Alex asked, but before anyone could say a word. One of Madeline’s men, who had transformed into his wolf self, rushed towards them, but got shot before he could lay a finger.
Only Ellie’s mom’s and Louise’s screams could be heard. Christina was just looking in shock; she could not even open her mouth or move.
“What’s going on here? Why are you here?” Alex walked forward and asked his mother, who had dropped the knife on the ground.
He was angry when he heard that someone had kidnapped Ellie’s mom. Despite being angry at Ellie, he couldn’t help but run to come and save her. But seeing his mother as the kidnapper was out of the question.
“Look at her. I told you she’s not the right one for you.” The woman said, pointing her hands to Ellie. That was when Alex noticed Ellie. Ellie! He called out, looking at her, but he did not know what to say.
“Can someone explain what’s going on here?” Callum asked. He was also shocked to see Ellie. He did not even notice Christina, who was not even making any sound.
“Did you kidnap Ellie’s mom?” Alex asked the obvious.
“Yes, I did. And I did not regret it. Won’t you say anything about her? She’s half human.” Madeline screamed.
“Mother!” Alex screamed back before walking to Louise to help her up. But everything happened so fast that he only saw a white wolf falling to the ground with blood flowing out of its body.
Madeline had transformed into her wolf form to attack Ellie, but she hadn’t touched her when she suddenly fell to the ground and felt like something big pounced on her and scratched her body.
Alex saw the wolf screaming in pain. He looked back at Ellie, who was just looking so fearless. Ellie? He called out, but the girl did not hear. Ellie! He screamed again and pulled her arms until she finally fell to the ground while he helped her.
Ellie! He touched her face and body and noticed that she was cold. “Are you okay?” He asked as she opened her eyes slowly.
“Ye… yes.” Ellie answered before standing up. She quickly ran to her mother and hugged her before remembering Christina. She ran to her and untied the rope around her. That was when Callum remembered that the other human girl was also in the room.
Madeline had transformed back into her human self, but she was still screaming despite being in pain. “She must die. A forbidden creature like her must die.” She was taken away by the men in the room.
“Mom.” She hugged her mom again. “Are you okay? We should take you to the hospital.” She cried, but her mom was just smiling and cleaning up her tears.
“I’m fine, Ellie.”
“No. We should take you to the hospital,” Ellie retorted.
“Please let me take you to the hospital, ma’am.” Alex walked towards the woman and said. Even though he still didn’t understand what had happened, he still had to take the woman to the hospital first.
He stretched his hands to help the woman up, but Ellie pushed his hands away. “No. Mr. Stewart will take us.” She said with no emotion on her face.
The room suddenly became quiet and awkward. “Yes. Please, let’s go.” Callum said to ease the tension in the air. Alex was just looking at them as they entered Callum’s car. He could not do anything other than follow them to the hospital.
