Chapter 63: Act-III
She turned her eyes around roaming through all the place wondering if she could find anything that could help her get out of the witches' lair.
"Mistress, we have tried to use the potion to the vampire bit unfortunately we were not able to infect the woman completely to hallowed vampires." reported the woman who was small enough for one to be mistaken for a young girl in her teenage years. The two stood put in front of the room where there were stalls separated with red bricks of walls closed with iron bars.
"What have you found?" asked the woman her beautiful face smiled sweetly covering up her innermost malice heart. Her black hair was parted in the middle to creat two streams of hair which covered her ears. Her lips were dark in a color of red like a color of an aged wine.
"I apologize mistress but I couldn't find anything wrong in the potion." replied the girl. Her name was Hyeana, a witchess who looked like a girl in the age of a middle schooler girl but in truth she was far older that triple the amounts of age she looked like. When she recalled the time she had find that all the vampires she had injected with the potion which was able to turn a vampire to hollowed was defective her face was contoured with anger and distress.
"That is odd," hummed the woman Hyena called her as mistress with much respect. "I remember well that we have followed the right procedure written in that book, so what was wrong? Hyena did you follow the steps I wrote properly?" her voice was gentle like melody. As the two was speaking of a serious matter, they both stopped in the long hallway just right about ten steps away from the door of the room where Wan Seulgi was.
"I did." replied Hyena the young witchess.
"I don't doubt you, perhaps the white witchess we used to read the potion mixture in the book had lied or perhaps missed a few solutions which are important to affect the potions' prowess." and when she had said the words, Hyena could tell clearly the mistress face was unhappy as she was feeling the same vexed emotion as her mistress.
"We should have tortured the white witchess with a more painful method." replied Hyena, her lips twisted into a smile.
"That we should." The woman snickered. "But what have been done is done, we should catch another white witch and force them to read the book." she turned her black eyes, asking, "Have you found out of the location of the white witches?"
"Yes, mistress." replied Hyena, her small face held a smile still.
"Those white witches have always been on our way and now see what happened to them. There are no single human who could still remember their being that even their descendants didn't know what they were." said the woman with a smile. "We have barely time for our next plan. It wouldn't be good if we are too late. I will be going to fetch the white witch." she said, picking the black shawl she had been holding on her right hand she posed on her waist, she raised it to cover her shoulder.
Seeing the mistress about to leave, Hyena lit her eyes she said, "I will come with you mistress."
"That's not needed. Just one of us is enough and I want to directly hear their words." she said then when she was about to turn her body, she recalled something to say, "What about the living human that you caught?"
"She should do good for us to use as a vessel for the curse, mistress." said Hyena her mouth watered at the thought that she would be able to use the skin of the woman after they have used her soul as a sacrifice.
"Good." the woman's shoulder moved up and down when she laughed eerily. "Keep a watch on the human girl and wait until I come back."
"Yes mistress!" responded Hyena with a wide smile.
Once her mistress have went out of the place, Hyena turned to walk over the door of Wan Seulgi's room. As the floor was made with bricks, each time her shoe take a step one after another, a footsteps sound could be heard by Wan Seulgi as the witchess came nearer.
Her head was thrown in instant panic. She quickly fixed her position once again to the floor and shut her eyes tight with her heart drumming in her ears. Her heart was screaming and every cell in her body was screaming out of fright which she couldn't let out from her mouth.
Hyena pushed open the door, her eyes reaching to find the matchbox and pull one to flick it over the box for the friction to create fire. After lighting a few candlesticks to light up the room, Hyena first walk over to the cells that kept sacrifices. By using her sight she could peek between her eyelids, Wan Seulgi saw the yellowish light moving closer to her place and her heart rushing faster than ever.
Hyena feet stopped in front of her and to Wan Seulgi she thought it was weird. For some reason, the shoes that was used by the witchess was small like a size of a child. Her confusion was confirmed when Hyena spoke,
"Still alive," Hyena hummed.
Wan Seulgi gulped from the words the witchess said. Was she going to be killed? Then she saw the shadow bellow the feet diminished as the witches bent her knees down in front of her, the candle holder she placed on her hand moved down to stop at the floor.
Wan Seulgi didn't dare to make a sound, her breaths was getting hard to catch and her heart felt painful from the fear that was eating her alive. She knew the witches seemed to be alone as she hear no other sound of people than the young girl in front of her but she had seen what a witch could do and didn't dare to do anything rash. She could only pray to God that the witches would spend a second to see her breathing which she didn't know she had thread carefully or otherwise...
Chapter 64: How To Hunt-I
Wan Seulgi then heard a sound of someone humming that she noted to be of the girl in front of her. The seconds tick in her mind as the witchess continue to sit on her knees with candle she placed just right beside the iron bars. Feeling the light, Wan Seulgi did her best to act like a person who was asleep, her hands which was trembling was hidden behind her waist carefully so the witchess wouldn't see that she had woken up.
Just then, Hyena took the candle which Wan Seulgi could see from between her eyelids. As the light continue to diminish and shadows appeared again, she exhaled a breath very subtly feeling assured from fear when her heart dropped all of a sudden when she heard Hyena cackling.
"You thought I didn't know that you have woken up, human girl?" Wan Seulgi who was on the edge snapped her eyes wide open to see from bellow the face of the young witchess. Her adorable face had morphed a horrifying expression of one who was thirsty for blood.
On the other side, Jung Hwa loosened his tie and walked out of the car. Before he completely leave though, his upper body leaned inside the car, his eyes stayed upon Han Seoyeon to say, "Keep in mind not to come in contact with anyone even after you have followed me, Seoyeon." one reason of his words were to keep her away from the witches's harm and the other one was to keep any men away from her as they were about to enter the club.
But Han Seoyeon didn't realize his latter's reason and gave her words, "I will."
"Good." he said sounding amused and closed the door to leave the car for Han Seoyeon to follow minutes after.
The place where they decided to go to was the club where it was the largest club in Myeondong. In the night, it comes without a saying that the crowded place is the best hunting ground for witchess. Jung Hwa languidly descended down from the stairs and pushed the door to enter the bar. When he did, his eyes subtly ran around the place as he loosened his dark blue necktie.
Loud music filled the place, women and men dance all around the place enjoying themself with both the music and drinks. Taking a seat in right across the bartender, his smile was kept widely to adorn his handsome face which gave him an easier air for anyone to approach him, especially the witches who he would be hunting tonight.
Knowing well that he was born with an exceptional handsome face, Jung Hwa had noticed the eyes that were kept on him since the time he had entered the bar and grinned. The color lights which was placed high up in the ceiling roamed around the place, switching the color from red, white, and black.
A black haired man in a bartender uniform with a black apron cleanly kept in front of him came to offered him a smile, "Your order sir?"
Jung Hwa lifted his chin up languidly replying. "Martini."
"Noted." replied the bartender his eyes sees Jung Hwa all around to move his gaze away and left the spot.
"This is my first time seeing you here, handsome. Are you new?" a voice chided beside his ears.
Jung Hwa pulled his smile, his hand leaned to the table in front of him where his eyes moved to see the woman's otherworldly beauty. Her lashes were long and her hourglass figure which was held tight with the black dress was the envy of women.
Jung Hwa slightly rose his brows, his smile grew further, "How do you know I'm new here? Do you often come here?"
"You can say that. The live in the dark is the best after all, I dislike morning so I often came out at night." replied the woman ensnaring him with a seducing look.
"A night owl aren't you?" Jung Hwa played his role.
"Are you not?" she saw Jung Hwa nodding in mirth.
"I am very much so." just then, Min Beomgyu came to place the glass of his order across his desk where he gave another drink to the woman.
"I see that you came alone. That's a waste."
"I just have a hard time wooing a girl that caught my eyes, so I'm thinking of a change of pace." he responded, some truth some lies he uttered without a change in his expression.
The woman rose her brows she draw thinly, her red lips giggled, "Surely that's a joke isn't it? How could there ever be a woman sane enough to reject you?"
"That is what I'm wondering." Jung Hwa retorted his face showed a genuine confusion. "I don't mean to boast but other than my handsome face, I'm also powerful, and rich. Mind telling me what I lack, miss?"
The woman hummed lightly sweeping her eyes up and down and shook her head, "I can't seem to find any of your flaw. Handsome face, good body, and endless wealth. That girl you are trying to woe must be stupid."
"Handsome face, good body, and endless wealth." Jung Hwa repeated in a glee, "Yes, you are right. I have all of those above."
"Rather than that girl, how about me?" asked the woman her hand moved from the table slowly to reach up toward his hand. Jung Hwa gave a look as if he was weighing his choice.
"But I am still taken by that girl." he replied lazily.
The woman leaned forward, her face growing closer to his neck where she replied lightly. "Surely a one night stand wouldn't hurt anyone, or else you have sworn your chastity for the girl?" she giggled her eyes showing a challenge to him.
"I know many plays that will keep you entertained well. Don't worry we can't take our time slow." said the woman her smile was spread wide across her face. The lips she opened and closed was in a color of blood like one who had smeared a left over blood to her lips.
Seeing that Jung Hwa didn't bite to her hook quickly she looked down on his glass that had become empty and offered, "How about a drink? My treat."
"How can I possibly let a lady such as yourself to treat me a drink?" asked Jung Hwa and he meant every of his words in a different way than the witchess in front of him had thought of...
