509 [Bonus chapter]
“It would be a good way to take revenge against witches!” She provoked him when he did not respond. He clenched his jaw but took the address and left.
The man took her to a bar where he had met those strange men. She changed her clothes and covered her hair with a cloak to hide her identity.
When she entered the bar, she noticed that everyone there was in despair. Most of them were drinking while lamenting while a few were only sitting alone and looking lifeless.
“What kind of place is this?” she could not help but ask as she sat on the corner seat near the bar counter.
“Most of them have lost their family or loved ones in the war. No one was there to protect their family from the use of Beryllium or the witches were dragged innocently while they did not take part in the war yet were blamed and executed.
The human had no idea of what happened yet they died by both sides as cannon fodder. A few of them even lost their homes and have no place to return to. No one is waiting for them anymore.” there was more to that, Hazel could feel in her nerves. A jittery feeling that something wrong was going to happen.
She had thought that it was gone with the death of her mother or with the death of Vincent. But it looked like many more moles were left.
Soon a waitress came to them and served the drinks as she looked at them gloomily.
“You are here again? I thought that you had been captured by those vampires!” she asked the man with a look of suspicion in her eyes when he flinched.
.....
“I helped him in running away.” She cut him before he got caught, “in exchange he promised me that he will help me in joining a group that will help me in achieving my goals.” she added when she got all the attention of the waitress whose eyes were narrowed at her now.
“And what kind of goal do you have?” she asked cautiously when hazel smirked evilly.
“To explode the council and its lord into pieces.” she muttered as she picked up the glass of alcohol. Instead of drinking, she whispered a spell she had learnt to neutralize all the things mixed in her food after the incident with the wine.
She realized it has a liquid mixed that makes a person agony ten times more and force them to the darker side.
“I wish I could kill him with my own hands but I do not want to fail! So, I need help.” The waitress waited till she finished her drink completely.
“Tch! You should not hate others this much. I am sure everything will be fine.” Hazel chuckled as if she had heard a joke.
“Hatred is a small word used by kids. I only want to dismember his body into a thousand pieces and make sure that everyone in his family stays alive but lives such a miserable life that even his soul would not get peace.” the waitress shrugged her shoulders and left picking up the tray.
Hazel stared at the man but he shook his head too. He had no idea how it worked. Hazel sat there with him for three long hours but no one approached them.
“I am tired now!” She stood up with the man who was staggering too. As they walked out, she let the man go to his home with the promise that he would not run away and come to meet him tomorrow and turned to leave like a human.
She had just passed the lane and was contemplating whether to teleport or wait when she felt the sound of footsteps around her.
They came from all sides of the valley and surrounded her when she took a step back and took the stance of fighting.
“What do you want from me? If you are here to attack me, i am going to kill you all.” she warned when they smirked as they exchanged glances.
“Let’s check then.” They all attacked her at once when she took out the dagger from her pocket and attacked the nearest one with it while using her knees to block the attack of one behind her and kicked him hard on his knees until he fell on the ground.
She kicked another one from her other feet when her first foot was held by a man making both of them fall in the process.
She threw the dagger on the one who was coming to attack her from front and when he fell, she took the benefit of confusion and turned to attack the one behind him. Even without using her powers, she overpowered all five of them in a few minutes as one of them held their abdomen, two of them were wounded with her dagger and two of them were kicked on their knees.
“You are strong!” one of them said with a smirk when she walked towards him and placed the dagger on his neck.
“Who had sent you to kill me? If it is the council, tell them I am not going to die until I burn them alive.” she only created a small wound on the neck of the man and let him go when he sat up with a smirk.
“No! I am here to help you with your goal.” he held her hands and did not let her go when she frowned. She was about to cut his hands that were holding her when others stood up too and surrounded her.
“We are from a dark society and we are here to invite you as a member of our group. We are working to eradicate the council and give the powers of commerce. If you want to take revenge against them, we will help you and in exchange you will help us. It is a fair deal.”
