In Another World I Become a Healer With Purple Hair

Chapter 192 - 192 Another girl

192 Another girl

“What?! Are these ship crews coming from Kalpataru island? Are you guys insane?!” Nathan screamed while he was looking at Brom in disbelief.

“Well, maybe if you and chief Hale were more honest in the first place, we are not going to be in this mess!” Said Brom back at Nathan. He left the three of them alone and cast a protection spell into the kitchen.

“He was right, senior, if only you tell us the truth.” Leo looks at Nathan with a wince on his face.

Nathan glared at him. “Shut up! I’ve already felt so bad, so just…” He took a long sigh and sat back on the bench. He glanced at the kitchen door. “So, Anne, did your friend just lock us in here?”

Anne shakes his head, “No, senior, he just put a protection spell on the room, so, any intruders will have a hard time…” Suddenly, two ship crews saw them inside the kitchen, he tried to walk inside but was thrown by the spell. She smiles at Nathan and Leo. “See, I told you Brom is the best… After Vale, of course.”

Leo just shakes his head and smiles. “Girl, you really praise your man like no other.”

Bashful of Leo’s teasing, she stuttered and tried defending herself, “I… I am not praising all of them.”

Nathan looked around the room and found a hiding place in the pantry. “Shush… Shut up, you two, let’s hide. I don’t think the spell will last longer if we are here being a sitting duck.” He called for the two of them to follow him.

After Anne and Leo safely go inside the pantry, he shut the door. They went quiet, trying not to distract any more ship crews. Anne still has a high hope of the protection spell that Brom cast inside the kitchen. She looks around the small room and found a place to sit.

.....

“Did you know how many crews are inside this ship?” Asked Nathan to the two of them.

“How come we know about that certain kind of thing? All we know is that we are aboard this thing to go to Kalpataru island.” Gruntled Leo to his senior, clearly for Anne that he was so annoyed by how Nathan felt necessary to be hiding some information from them.

Huffing his breath, he look at Anne and Leo, “Look, I am sorry that I need to keep certain things from all of you, I thought that knowing the danger of this level, would bring some… Some trauma of the recent event.”

Leo’s face turned bitter. He knew exactly what kind of event Nathan meant. Anne took a long sigh and stared at the pantry door. Minutes by minutes went by. They were anxiously waiting for any news. Nathan approached the door, making Leo agitated.

“What are you doing?” he asked his senior while his hand grabbed into Nathan’s arm.

“Calm down. I was trying to see if there’s everyone outside.” Said Nathan to Leo. He then pulled his arm from Leo’s grab and tried to peek at the door.

Anne and Leo were standing behind him. That’s when the door suddenly wide open and a big body appeared in front of them. The three of them looked at the captain of the ship. The big man was furious. There’s a saber in his hand and he tried to attack them.

Nathan successfully dodge the attack, Leo pulled Anne away and took a kitchen knife, he push Anne into the corner of the kitchen and the man himself bravely charged at the furious captain; he plunged the kitchen knife into the captain’s back. The captain wailed, but turn around to see Leo who was running away outside, he chased the man.

Thankfully, Henry is already in the hall. With a bow and arrow, he aims at the captain and shoots it right into his heart. The captain lie dying in the hall, and the other captains came and inform that all the crews were already captured or killed by them.

Anne gets out of the kitchen with Nathan. How glad she felt when she looks at the unharmed Henry and Xavier.

“Did he hurt you?” Henry asked her when they finally settled back in the kitchen.

She shakes her head and smiles at him. “Don’t worry, I’m fine. By the way, we need to figure out how to steer the ship, and… the bodies.”

“Don’t worry, the crew is still willing to steer the ship, within our control, of course.” Xavier brushed into her back and asked her the same question as Henry, “Are you alright?”

She reciprocates the smile and holds his hand. “Yes, I’m fine, don’t worry. What about theirs? We can’t leave them like that, Xavier.”

Henry look around and said, “We are going to give them a proper burial.” Anne looks at the dead bodies and a sad expression came to her. Henry squeezes her shoulder. “What can we do when we found them in a group, and they are already preparing themselves to kill us?”

“I see, So they already plan to kill us in the open water I guess.” Muttered Anne. She stands up and helps Nathan and Leo to prepare the dead bodies for burial.

Henry and Xavier look at each other. Henry then said, “Actually, their plan was to take us to their leader and make us as the bait. They want to lure Justice and king Edward to go out from the hiding place.”

“That was a sinister plan. Thank goodness Leo senses that Nathan is still hiding something from us.” Anne huffed her breath, thankful that they were escaping some dangerous encounter.

“Don’t feel relieved yet. We still need to find the king and the crown prince.” Arthur came around, he whispered to Anne, “Are you alright?”

Leo, who happened to be closer to our heroine, rolled his eyes, “I swear to all of my Gods, if another man came and asked for Anne’s wellbeing, I’m going to be livid!”

After the funeral procession to honor the dead, Anne took her time to get some rest, and then came a soft voice directly through her ear.

“My, my, the beautiful girl. Aren’t you tired of resisting me?”

“Sigh… What do you want? Just go away.” Anne open her eyes and saw the witch of the mountain sitting in front of her.

“Dear, I miss you, and I am so glad to see that you are still closer to all of them. Why deny your feeling so much? Just embrace the feelings? They belong to you.” The witch of the mountain grins, her beautiful face got distorted and a wicked smile appears on her face.

Trying to confront the witch, Anne gets up from her bed and hissed at her, “No! I refused to play your game, and they are not mind, they…” She begin to cry, and the witch of the mountain gave her a soft kiss on her head and disappear, Anne continued to speak her mind, “They belong to someone else… The original girl.”
