Belle Adams' Butler

Chapter 322 - Back Home- Part 2

The witcher's feet were crushed further by Lucas up to the point that the magistrate screamed loudly but there was no one to hear. Or more like if someone did hear, they couldn't' react because this was the part of the land where people were left hypnotised.

"I told you what you wanted!" the witcher yelled at Lucas who stepped away from the witcher's feet.

"Explain more to us?" said Belle, "Why are you trying to summon the first black witch?"

The witcher saw Lucas start to fold the sleeves of the shirt he wore and he answered, "There are some of the black witches who want to resurrect the dead and bring them back so that there wouldn't be a need for the red moon ritual."

"What is the red moon ritual?" Belle asked and it was Lucas who answered her.

"It is the one where the black witches have planned to open up the portal to unbind the black magic so that it can be used," said Lucas and then he asked the witcher, "Why the need for the first black witch?"

The witcher appeared to be in great pain after the bones on his feet were crushed. At first, its eyes had turned to slits like a snake but then his complexion started to change and his skin started to turn like scales of a reptile. He appeared to be under transformation from being a vampire to his original state as a witcher.

"Because all the black witches were created from one parent. The first black witch is the one who wields the powers and she has the ability to wipe everyone. Once she's awake, we wouldn't need to unbind the magic. Even the others agree to it. That is what some of us know and the white witches are unaware of it."

"But the white witches are not involved with the black witches," said Belle because of the nature of the white witches who were considered to be the purer version of the witches.

The witcher snickered, "Everyone is power-hungry. We all have been sent to the dark. Not just the black witches but also the white witches which are why some of them are helping the Mistress. The mistress is searching for the book."

Lucas' eyes narrowed at the mention of a book, "What book?" he asked.

The witcher said, "The book that can bring people back of course." One could see the jagged teeth of the witcher which was unclean. Belle noticed how Lucas looked as if he was thinking something, "Once she gets the book, we will not only resurrect the first black witch but also other black witches to wipe every other creature who won't bow down to us."

"That's an extensive plan that you have," Lucas commented and then turned to Belle to ask, "See what he was trying to draw," and she gave him a nod. While Belle went to look at the desk, trying to trace and understand the ink that had seeped down the parchment.?Lucas continued to question the witcher.

"What kind of book is this? I never heard about it," said Lucas.

"It is the book of Gods," claimed the witcher, "Now let me go, I have answered all your questions."

"Not so soon," stated Lucas, "From whom did you hear about the book?"

"I am not the God to know everything-" this earned a punch from Lucas and Belle who was looking at the desk looked up when she heard something crack in the room, "Wah yo dowing?" asked the witcher in pain as his lower jaw had moved to the side.

"It is for summoning but I think it's more on the portal," Belle informed Lucas, "Take a look at this," she said to clap both her hands to bring out the circle of markings and place it on the desk to see them coincide.

"I guess there will be one less thing to worry about if the witcher ceases to exist. With no person to complete the summoning circles, it will only delay the process," said Lucas and at the same time they heard a howl far away from where the office was located.

Belle stepped away from the desk to walk towards the window which Lucas had closed. She unlocked and pushed it open to hear another howl. She asked Lucas while her eyes were looking at the dark alley that was behind the office, "Is it a dog?" she asked Lucas.

"I wished," said Lucas and Belle turned around, "He is all yours."

She finally came around to look at the witcher who stared at both Belle and Lucas, "Did a person named George Clifton work for you?"

The witcher at first didn't react to the name but then he laughed, "So this is why you are here. Women always coming looking for answers. What is it that you wanted to know? He killed his family after he got mad and bloodthirsty. You should have seen the bodies that day."

"That's not true. I want the truth," Belle stated. Hoping she would get the closure she was looking for as she felt guilty that George had died right in front of her and she wasn't able to help him even though it wasn't her own fault.

"That is the truth," answered the witcher, "I heard he was also working on the case for having money laundered from someone. It must have been such a shame."

"Tell me the truth or I will sew your lips," threatened Belle for the witcher to roll his eyes. Lucas looked at Belle and the cute threat she gave out to the witcher.

But Belle was in no mood to joke. She had come to Valeria mainly to find out more about what happened to George and she did have a long day. She walked closer to where the witcher sat who couldn't move his body except for his mouth to talk. Then she sat down, that confused witcher on what the girl was trying to do. Belle then placed both her hands on the witchers hands, closing her eyes to search the details of deaths the witcher was involved with. When she finally found it, her hands grew colder than before and she opened her eyes.

Getting up she stared at nothing in particular.

The witcher who had been confused commented, "Lady, if you wanted to touch me all you have to do was ask and I would have invited you freely. What do you think about it? A good warm be-" his words didn't go far as his body fell on the ground.

Belle was still processing how the witcher had killed her friend gruesomely, "I was supposed to be the one to kill him," she muttered under her breath.

"I couldn't stand him speaking those words," said Lucas who had pulled out his scythe to reap the man right away. He heard another howl coming from outside which was much closer than before. Lucas hid his scythe behind him and slipped his hand into Belle's hand to disappear from the office right before a hellhound and a reaper arrived at the scene to sniff.
