Chapter 240: _Invisible And Helpless

(Warning: Slight gory scenes ahead)

Chaos.

That’s the best word I could think of to describe what followed after one of the soldiers suddenly drew out a dagger and plunged it at the commander.

The movement was too fast. Too precise.

And I doubted the human soldier was a Hunter.

The dagger successfully pierced through the human commander’s chest, causing blood to bloom and soak his uniform as his eyes widened with shock.

"Commander!"

"Darvis, what is the meaning of this?!"

"Stand down! Stand the fuck down and drop the blade!"

The other soldiers pointed their guns at the obviously possessed soldier. There’s no doubt... He’s one of the soldiers under the raven witch’s manipulation.

Meanwhile, the human commander staggered backwards, the dagger still sticking on his chest like a flag of betrayal. He gasped and struggled but it was no use as his blood continued spilling.

He eventually fell to his knees even when a female soldier rushed to him, trying to help him up.

"Things are escalating too quickly," Kaelos spoke up beside me just then, tightening his grip on my hand.

I couldn’t see him from where we knelt behind bushes several meters away from the chaos because of the invisibility sigils placed on the two of us but I could feel him. I could feel his emotional distance from what we were watching.

"We can’t interfere under any circumstances. Just stand back and observe." He added at the same moment that the possessed soldier, Darvis, drew out a pistol and shot the female soldier beside the commander point blank in the face, blowing her right eye out and sending her blood and brain matter spraying like paint.

That’s when the real chaos started.

One of the soldiers who had his gun pointed at Darvis fired a shot but the latter managed to dodge it by falling to the floor.

Then out of nowhere, another soldier drove a dagger through the first one’s neck, causing him to fall to the ground like a rag doll

More and more soldiers revealed themselves to be under the Raven witch’s manipulation and came together to wipe out the others.

Bullets blazed like rain. Blood sprayed on the grass like a crimson pool. Shouts and screams of terror and pain tore through the air all while Kaelos and I stood back and did nothing.

I clenched my jaw, struggling to hold myself back as I watched the manipulated soldiers gaining the upper hand. I wanted to help. I wanted to smack the manipulation magic off their minds.

But Kaelos’ grip on my hand grounded me, causing me to bite my bottom lip.

At the end of the chaos, about twenty soldiers out of the fifty-two who had come to the forest were left standing. They stared at the dead bodies of their comrades with emotionless eyes before pulling back and heading for their trucks without saying anything.

"It’s show time," Kaelos whispered to me before dragging me with him to the truck I mentioned had a rune carved into it.

We crouched despite being under invisibility magic, walking around the soldiers and trucks and then reaching the back of the target truck.

We waited as Darvis walked to that particular truck and opened it after looking around.

When the back doors opened, I held myself from gasping as my eyes widened.

Children.

Inside the back of the truck, four werewolf children were in cages. They were asleep, but it was clear to me that the soldiers had drugged them to sleep.

"We can’t keep the mistress waiting." Another soldier mumbled as they began dragging the bodies of the fallen soldiers into the trucks that weren’t branded with teleportation runes.

I held my breath, gritting my teeth as I stared at the werewolf children in those cages. I could also feel Kaelos’ rage flowing like a wave from him but he did a great job hiding it.

"We’ll enter this truck." He whispered to me and I nodded, subconsciously holding my breath.

"The rest of you continue patrolling the forest like the governor ordered!" Darvis said with a loud voice, bringing his gaze to the children in the back of the truck. "I’ll take these mutts to the mistress."

At that same moment, Kaelos muttered. "Now."

We walked forward, moving past the clueless Darvis and stepping into the back of the truck. As we settled inside the back of the truck, however, my boots against the metal underneath made a sound that caused the soldier to look in alertly.

"What was that?" He mumbled, bringing out a torch and pointing its light into the back of the truck.

I closed my eyes, tightening my grip on Kaelos’ hand.

’He can’t see us. He can’t see us. He can’t see us...’ I thought to myself repeatedly, steadying my breathing.

I was holding back so many emotions right now, not because I feared being discovered. But because I was scared of the chaos I could unleash if I let my emotions surface.

Sirena’s anger was already mixing with mine and so was Kaelos’. My magic simmered just underneath my skin, waiting to use my emotions as a conduit to strike down these soldiers.

But I kept my eyes closed until Darvis finally closed the doors of the truck, leaving us in darkness within it.

"Are you okay?" Kaelos asked just then, probably feeling my emotional state.

I didn’t say anything at first, brushing my fingers on his hand.

Then...

’I’m fine. I just can’t wait to see that Raven witch.’ I said through the mind link, reeling with pent-up anger.

The back of the truck was not only dark, but it also smelled of urine from the caged children, and the air was stale. They must’ve been here for days.

’I promise to bash her head through the ground.’ Kaelos responded to my words mentally at the same moment that the truck began moving.

After five minutes or so, there was a slight turbulence and a glow of dark purple light surrounded it.

The truck had gone through a portal.

Which means...

"Looks like we’re here," Kaelos remarked and I felt him slowly getting on his feet. "Let’s—"

Before I knew what was happening, the sigil on his arm shone with a sudden pulse of light and then flickered, causing the invisibility to wear off him.

"What the...?"

The truck doors opened, causing an influx of white light to shine into it.

Suddenly, Kaelos levitated from my grip and was pulled out of the truck by an invisible force, causing a gasp to tear out of my throat as my heart skipped a beat.
