Love Agreement With The King

Chapter 217 - Give Up

The two brothers gazed at each other and shared an understanding gaze. John then speeded toward Ethan and gazed at his spread open wounds, John lifted Ethan's arm and placed it over his shoulder as he teleported him in front of Kratez residence. He knocked over the door loudly and Roselyn ran toward it, when she recognized John's voice she hastily opened it. John speeded again toward the sofa this time and sat down his brother there.

"Any maid is here?" John asked whispering to Roselyn, who nodded. "I think they all are still here.." he didn't let her finish that John screamed, "everyone stay in their room, only come out when I ask you to. I require some privacy with Rose."

After his order silence fell the room and Roselyn knitted her eyebrows down, those were supernatural women yet he was still throwing orders at them as if they were normal maids. Maybe that showed how little John considered them and how little he care about them.

Roselyn swallowed down trying to divert her attention away and finally deign the poor Ethan of some attention, "how can I help you? What happened?" she asked.

John speeded away and Roselyn leaned closer to Ethan to see his wound still deep and barely healing.

When John returned he was grabbing bottles of wine and blood and he gave those to his brother who finished each bottle in about one minute.

The wounds began to heal more quickly, and John took a breath of relief seeing the animal blood worked.

"It was another snake." He then said to Rose who was staring at the brothers with a quizically confused look on her face, when she heard John's statement her expression tensed becoming more preoccupied.

"Two snakes attacked us." Ethan continued, as he frowned his forehead.

"There are probably more than we thought," John added gazing at Ethan as he massaged his forehead.

Roselyn wasn't following them, "what are them? How can they be so strong ..." Roselyn intervened and Ethan flinched around to stare at John waiting for him to give explanations but John seemed bewildered.

"They are demons, there is a place where demons stay which is in a supernatural underworld dedicated to keeping all the demons and supernatural evil creatures there..." John said but Roselyn couldn't refrain from a nervous laugh to escape her mouth.

John took a deep breath before continuing, "someone must have freed them." He looked at Roselyn who had the kind of look humans normally had when revealed supernatural secrets.

Even thinking and hearing about conspiracies claiming the underworld or otherworld existed was enough to cause half of the human's dizziness for the fear, what could happen when not only the proof otherworld existed but it was also open and allowed demons to escape?

Not even John and Ethan knew what could happen if one of those demons would attack and hurt a human. Steal their soul? Turn them into monsters or zombies? They didn't know as such a terrible thing never happened before.

"What can we do now?" Roselyn asked pretending to be calm when deep inside she was dying of fear. 

"We just have to hope whoever opened the doors of hell will now close them and limit the damage." John breathed out, his voice was low and preoccupied. Ethan's wounds fully recovered and he stood up, "I will go check William..." He said, John, hesitated before nodding and scoffing, "please link with me if you need help." He suggested to his brother who nodded and smiled at the couple.

He walked out the door but then he didn't head to the castle, he headed to his shack where he used to stay there during his complicated childhood. He began to dig over all his stuff, he had some unclear memories of when he was a child, of him meeting a weird huge snake that talked to him. He said he could see some potential in him and offered him a deal.

After that he couldn't remember anything else, it was dark until few days after that event.

The thought that he may be the reason why shape lifting snakes were released gave him thrills and made him so angry at himself. Right now that he finally refound inner peace and was working on building a bold with his family.

He threw all those objects over the ground as he couldn't find anything else important rather than some files some draw he made of what could be a snake and some expired food.

Ethan screamed in anger not finding anything was worrying him even more, what if his fear was real and he had something to do with the snakes' invasion?

A light appeared in front of him and he had to cover his eyes with his arm not to get blinded by the strong flashing.

Sharon appeared seconds after, despite the strong light he could recognize her clearly and he groaned furiously as soon as he recognized her.

"What are you doing here?" Ethan asked keeping his eyes close and opening them only for few seconds before the light was too unbearable to stare at and he had to shut them close again.

"If you want I can help you to bring your memories back, and understand more clearly what happened years ago," Sharon said, hinting at a smirk and tilting her head to the side.

"I never trusted you when you were alive and dangerous and I would trust you death and harmless. Give up Sharren or whatever your name is, you're desperate." Ethan spat with his usual lack of empathy and contempt toward the majority of the population.

"It's S H A R O N., not Sharen." Sharon spelled her name slightly irritated and Ethan gestured with his hand before turning around, "whatever."

"What a shame..." Sharon murmured, "I still remember the deal you made with my friends snakes, I am not sure John would be very enthusiastic to know his now loved and devoted brother made something so ..." she said but before she continued Ethan throw her a knife he had hidden in one of his box. The knife passed through Sharon's skin like if she was a ghost but at least it was enough to make her close her mouth for a second.. She snapped her fingers and the knife appeared in her hand.
