บท 12: Wedding Banquet 3
"It's been while since Grandpa threw a party & I'm happy since many of you decided to attend this wedding banquet. I know everyone is eager to listen to our side of the story, right?"
The hall erupted in a boisterous cheer-ups. Meanwhile, a mysterious grin crept into Fiona's half-veiled face. She turned her head to look at the man beside her. Did she really fall for him? Haha! Back then, when she'd been discovered by him 2 years back, she thought men were too scary when they were flirtatious! And he was living example! But, he chose to stick by her side, never forced his opinions on her.
"We met 2 years back while she was trying to save a lady from being hit by a speeding truck. I somehow understood that she could foresee the future", Ashton stared intensely at the girl beside her,"She had determined expression while she was in a simple teenage getup. That's when I fell for her. The rest is history." The hall filled with applause again.
Fiona thought back to that day. Back then, just a year had passed upon her sister's death, & she'd been desperately helping people here & there out of guilt. That night, a dashing man approached her & helped her to freeze the world in her efforts to succeed. He provided her the current powers she held & trained her to control her emotions. He had long confessed his feelings for her while she thought she was not eligible for such a god-like persona. That's when she turned her into his familiar & she was bound be by his side. Back then, she'd denied the feelings welling in her heart. She still hadn't confessed him in a proper way!
"Unveil her!", Grandpa yelled from downstage & many people present there echoed him. Ashton took a step forward & unlaced her veil. The moment the veil dropped, everyone gasped at her breath-taking beauty. The people who were doubting her few minutes back lowered their heads in shame. Grandpa felt amused with the reactions of people around him. What an amusing face-slap!
Fiona scanned the room with her bright eyes & she nodded at each people her eyes met with. The rest of the banquet passed with conversations & toasting each other.
...
11 p.m., Witch hours, After Banquet
Ashton decided to stay back for a few days with Grandpa Nigel. So, he helped Fiona to open the invisible door. Fiona crossed the door & waved Ashton & Grandpa. The moment she stepped in her room, the door vanished. It was still afternoon in the world. She snapped her finger & her replica vanished but the Fin replica stayed back," You've to stay a little longer. Or shall I vanish you as well? Peter will be happy with that, right?" So, after much thought she let go of Fin. Though, she knew she would surely miss him, but she'd to let him go. Moreover, she was really tired. So, she needed a good amount of rest now.
She instantly fell asleep after climbing onto her bed, but very soon her brows creased into thin lines & her breathing became ragged. She tightly gripped onto the bed sheets & sweat beads appeared on her forehead! She woke up with a jump,"LEON!"
Her brother was crying for help. But, why? A big question appeared hanged above her head. Wait! He should be on an excursion trip that was in the same city as hers. His brother was also in City J. Nothing wrong can happen to him, right ? She calmed herself down saying that her brother would be okay. She was just being a worrywart. She again pushed herself down on the bed to sleep.
*BING*
Her phone indicated that there was a message for her. She opened it & found that it was from an unknown number. It said a simple one word, "Enjoy!" It ended with a skull emoji & it'd a video attachment to it. From it's cover Leon's face was clear as day. Seeing this, her heart almost jumped out of her throat. Her hands visibly shaking, Fiona tapped on the play button. The pale face of Leon came into view while he began shouting," Don't you dare think my sister will get scared. She'll scare the hell out of you all, bastards." That was followed by a simple voice note from a man who didn't appear in the video, "Wanna save you bro? Come quickly to the address we're sending or else he'll be dead. Don't dare contact the police." The screen turned black. The video was only 50 seconds long but it felt like an eternity to Fiona. She clenched her fists tightly.
Very soon a message came from the same number revealing the supposed location.
