The Love of a Lycan

Chapter 517 - HOPES DECISION

Chapter 517 - HOPE'S DECISION

Days had passed and in a blink of an eye, today was the third day since Hope met with the witch in her school, meaning tonight was the festival.

"But, I'm very sure that I didn't hear anything from inside the room." Rossie put on her uniform while Hope was still lying lazily on the bed, since today was the festival, she was told to stay inside the house and couldn't take a single step outside. "See, I told you that's strange."

"There is nothing strange about that, she is a witch after all. She is able to do that." Hope yawned and curled herself into a ball while hugging her pillow.

"Maybe." Rossie shrugged her shoulder. "The only witch that I have ever seen is Serefina, though we live, practically, near one of those witches, yet I have never seen Serefina did her magic."

"You wouldn't want to see, it is not something you want to experience." Hope told them about what the witch had offered to her, but didn't say anything about being transported to another place. They would become irrationally freaked for nothing.

"If you said so…" Rossie mumbled, combing her hair with her fingers while looking at her reflection on the mirror. "You will not go out there and meet her, won't you?" she asked casually, but from the way she was staring at Hope through the mirror showed her concern.

"I won't, why would I?" Hope closed her eyes. "People have told me not to go, even Kace made sure of it, so that I won't have the slightest chance to go. So with all that in mind, I don't think I will risk my life for someone that I don't even know."

Hope's reason made sense, yet the way she talked about that, almost sounded like an advice to herself. She shut her eyes closed, so she wouldn't meet Rossie's sharp one and the more she thought about it, the more restless she became.

What if that woman was telling the truth and she was, indeed, a friend of Serefina? And Serefina had ordered her to help Kace and Lana if something happened to them.

Something must have happened to them. They should have returned by now.

But, even if something REALLY happened to them, having the witch there, wouldn't help with anything right? She couldn't turn into a powerful beast or could performthe kind of magic like Serefina did.

Yet, why was that woman insisted for Hope to come with her? And what exactly she wanted from her as the bargain?

Hope sighed.

"Let's go eat breakfast." Rossie slapped Hope's back and laughed when Hope grunted. It was hurt. "Lazy, get up!"

==============

Since Hope was not allowed to go out of the house, she could only stayed inside Rossie's bedroom while reading a book, which she was not able to finish the first paragraph even after an hour had passed.

Her mind wondered to the possibilities that could happen if she decided to trust that witch, shaking her head and tried to get rid of that idea, but then a few seconds later, she found herself was wondering the same thing again, and this repeated the whole time.

A little part of her trusted that woman's words blindly and wanted to go out to meet her, asked the witch to take her to the Northern Coven realm, but the other part of her, which the rational one, knew that was not even an option.

She was not only endanger herself, but also risked the safety of everyone here by disobeying Kace and Serefina's warning.

What if that witch was a dark witch and she was only playing tricks on her? Serefina and Lana had told her, how evil those dark witches were.

"Argh!" putting down her book, Hope was staring at the clock, it was two in the afternoon, meant the festival would be held around five more hours from now.

"What should I do?" Hope bit her finger and pulled the blanket to cover her face, trying to sleep.

Sleeping was the best escaping way to get rid of this anxiety, but the problem was, how could she fall asleep when her eyes couldbarely close properly?

Honestly speaking, Hope really dying to meet Kace. To make sure with her own eyes that he was fine. Hope didn't want to wait any longer since the due time had passed.

"Kace should be here by now, unless something bad happened to him," Hope mumbled to herself and frowned when she imagined Kace and Lana were facing trouble now. "But, even if I go with that witch, what can I do?"

At this rate, Hope really wanted to know what else the guardian angel could do. She regretted it that she didn't have time to ask about this.

"I couldn't fly," Hope kept mumbling to herself, it helped her to sort her thought out. "But, my blood could harm a devil, but they are witches and vampire, not devil! Ugh!" she ended up became more frustrated than before.

But then, the image of the white lycan appeared before her eyes, the way he whimpered and how he responded to her touch. The gashes behind his back…

"What does it mean?" Hope turned her body and stared at the ceiling, "Was he trying to ask for help from me?"

It looked like that.

And the fireflies…

The white lycan turned into thousand fireflies, though the scene was breathtakingly beautiful, but it was also pained her heart. Hope felt like she had been through a lifetime of agony.

Maybe it was only her, looking for justification of her action. But, this was all Hope needed to make her decision.

She bit her lips as her body tensed and her adrenaline peaked. It would be dangerous, but the thought of the white beast was waiting for her and needed her help was enough to make her jumped from her bed and thought about the way to get out from this house.

Hope was sure, almost ninety percent sure that the beast needed her and that vision was not only an empty vision.
