Chapter 128 - One Hundred And Twenty-eight : An Idiot Called Ben

"No, I've got everything under control here... yeah, I would hand it over to the council tonight... of course, there won't be err any disturbance. I casted an invisibility spell on it, no body would be able to see it save me..... yeah, alright. See you guys tonight " Sabrina ended the call with a sigh.

Ever since the mask came under her protection, her fellow sister witches wouldn't let her rest - they were all concerned about the safety of the mask and she couldn't exactly blame them.

That venetian mask wasn't an ordinary mask but the soul of one of the most powerful necromancers was bind, sealed and tethered to it.

Though people claim there were some good necromancers but Sabrina knew that was a complete fallacy. Even if they claim to be good but just like the dark witches, Necromancers practice dark sorcery and whether they liked it or not would be consumed by that innate darkness sooner or later.

Their close association of death makes it incredibly harder to deal with them which is why even when bound, it still caused some problems at the town it was being held and had to be conveyed to little Town - a place of immerse magical energy - strong enough to ward off its powers and would soon be handed over to the council who would finally take care of it in their own way - no questions asked.

Sabrina hardly ended the call when she felt in her spirit something was wrong ; someone had touched something he wasn't supposed to touch. Ben.

She ran to her sacred room and just as she feared, Ben was gone and so was the mask.

Impossible, how had Ben breached the invisibility spell?

She was sure the spell was on and working before she left, then how had Ben seen it? The mask was supposed to be invisible to the eyes, then how? But that was not the problem at the moment - finding Ben was the problem.

If what she thought was right, then Ben was already possessed which meant little Town was in deep shit - and so was she, the council would not let her off easily - she had failed to fulfill her task.

Sabrina ran her hands through her hair in frustration and then picked up her phone and called Lia.

Lia was Ben's best friend and would know of his usual hideout. She would have tried a locater spell but the necromancer was smart and had blocked his location already, after all necromancers are witches too - just with the ability of reanimating the dead

Sabrina eventually gave up when she didn't answer after a while and instead summoned a portal to her place.

Once she arrived, Sabrina was shocked when she saw Lia on the bed, shivering and moaning in pains. What the hell.

" Hey " She called and placed a hand on her forehead but withdrew at once when the scorching hotness burned her.

"I don't understand this kind of fever, I think I have to take her to the hospita..... " Jenny trailed off as soon as she opened the door to her daughter's room and saw a complete stranger standing in the middle of the room.

She looked around her environment in shock and questioned sternly " Who the hell are you and how did you - ! "

"Sleep" Sabrina commanded and snapped her fingers as Jenny crumbled to the floor at once.

She then casted a spell that moved Jenny out of Lia's room and dropped her on the bed in her own room instead.

"Lia" Sabrina walked to her bed, sat down and cradled Lia's head in her arms "Hey wake-up, I need your help right now " she slapped her on the cheek but Lia kept slipping in and out of consciousness.

"Seriously, You can't do this to me now! I need your goddamn help! " Her slaps gained momentum when Lia would not snap out of her delirious fever. For Christ sake, she was a supernatural, she wasn't supposed to be sick!

Just as she raised her hand to hit her again, a cold voice resonated from behind causing her head to whip around to him

"What do you think you're doing? "

"Oh thank God you're here " Sabrina breathed in relief and her hand fell down as soon as her sight fell on Asher who had a grim look on his face.

Asher rose a brow when he saw she was indeed relieved to see him after he just caught her hitting his mate .

" What were you doing? " Asher monotoned with a cold glint in his eyes.

That tone would've stopped Sabrina in her tracks on other days but right now there was more important tasks at hand.

" I need her on the move cause there's a *fire on the mountain " Sabrina confessed leaving Asher confused.

Asher asked " What are you talking about? "

"That boy called Ben has done something that would have my head served on a golden platter "

A frown wrinkled his forehead " What has Ben done this time? "

"I think he wore the mask and now he has been possessed by the necromancer who would use him to find his body and once he does so, I'm doomed " she corrected " We're doomed "

Asher put up a hand " Wait a minute, I don't understand a thing you just said here and foremost, I never sent Ben to your place " He clarified , then added " The only person I sent to your place to get Lia's necklace restored is Dan... "

Suddenly his eyes slowly widened as he realized something and he massaged his brows asking " He sent Ben in his stead, didn't he? "

Sabrina nodded.

Asher threw his head back and began to laugh, a long, hard, joyless laughter that came to a sudden halt as he roared " What idiot sends Ben on such an important task?! "
