로그인Delilah's POV General Kane disappears through the portal and we watch silently. The oracle still has her eyes on the mirror, as if expecting something. I'm scared to even discover what it is. The portal is supposed to take Kane straight to Avalon. It's a simple thing, right? Except if there are complications she did not tell us about. I look at her with suspicion. "Ahh!" General Kane's voice comes through the mirror. I turn sharply to it. My eyes widen in alarm as he is flung out of the mirror as if pushed by a repulsive force. His back collides with the wall opposite the mirror and he falls to the ground with a groan. "Kane!" I shout and rush to hold him. "Are you okay?" I ask, examining his body for any signs of injury. Instead, his teeth are chattering like someone coming out of a freezer. He sits up and rests his back on the wall, rubbing his hands on his arms. His body is cold as ice. The oracle walks up to us with a heavy blanket in her hands. "It heats more than the norma
Delilah's POV"Guys!" I shout, referring to Kane and Cecile. Cecile looks between the oracle and me. She rushes to Vivian, asking for help. Vivian finally comes to speak to me. "Delilah, calm down. The force field is automatic against the leader's enemies. You just need to let go of the will to fight her and trust her in everything she will be doing now." My mouth drops open as I study her expression silently. Finally, I give in. "Fine. I won't do anything against her." Putting my hands forward, I try the barrier again but it's still blocking me. Frowning, I let out a low, angry groan and look at Cecile. "I have told you what you need to do," she says and goes back to meet the Leader.Kane comes outside to meet me. He gives me an apologetic look and holds my hands. Cecile watches us from inside. "Why do you want to fight her so badly?" "I don't trust her. What if she does something wrong? Or tries to hurt you?" He tightens his grip on my hand. "You don't need to worry about th
Delilah's POVVivian pushes open the door with a squeal, and we all peer into the house. The place is shrouded in darkness, and we can barely see anything. "Let's go inside," she says and moves in.We follow her sceptically as she leads us to the oracle. First, we pass through a dark, old-fashioned kitchen, then proceed to a small passage with a staircase in front.She leads us confidently up the stairs to a hallway with rooms connecting it. She moves down to the end of the hallway. At the right is a red door. She opens it with ease, revealing a staircase leading down into a dark area.Cecile and I exchange fearful glances before continuing down the stairs. Vivian moves in and we follow her apprehensively. The place is cold and dark and there's a sound of dripping water coming from it.We come down the stairs, following Vivian's slow pace. At the base of the steps, my leg comes in contact with something wet and cold. "Water?" I whisper to the general. He looks equally surprised. Vi
Delilah's POVStreaks of sunlight filter into the room through the small gaps in the worn-out curtain. Everywhere is absolutely silent save for the sound of General Kane's breathing as he sleeps with one of his hands draped over my body.If everything goes as planned General Kane will return to Avalon today. If the condition improves, he will come back to take me and Cecile with him.Although I'm scared. I can't stay in the human world, but what happens after I return to Avalon? Everyone in that country must see me as a fugitive now. Will I continue the rest of my life on the run from the Ultima? What does he want from me anyways?"What's bothering my pretty angel this morning?"I look down to meet Kane's gaze. He is just waking up."Why are you frowning? What's the matter?"Sighing, I stand up from the bed and put on my clothes."Nothing is the matter. Let's get ready for your departure," I reply and start moving towards the room door."Hey, hey..." he rushes up to me and holds my ha
Delilah's POVThere's nothing good about this plan. Everything is going to fall apart. I know it. As long as Alpha Enzo and the head oracle are working together, General Kane cannot return to Avalon, at least not right now.I follow him into the same room and lock the door behind me."You can't go back now.""Don't worry, I'm going to come back for you. We're in this together.""No, that's not the point. You just can't return. The portal isn't safe with the head oracle involved. I've seen the crazy things she can do. She took my powers away."He walks up to me and places two hands on my shoulders. "Relax, Delilah. Vivian said she has a way so let's just see what she comes up with, okay?"He pulls me closer to himself into a warm embrace. This whole plan is unsettling but I will try to have some faith in it."Come, lie with me," General Kane says, leading me to his bed.I follow him and an idea comes to my mind. I push him down to sit on the bed, and his eyes light up as he looks at me
Delilah's POV The sight of blood drives us into an immediate state of alarm. "Vivian!" Cecile and I exclaim together and rush upstairs to check on her. We don't find her in her room so we walk around the house shouting her name. I move outside flashing the torch from my phone down the street. "Do you think it's safe to do that?" Kane asks. I immediately turn off the light anxiously."Where could she be?" I mutter underneath my breath. A scream sounds from the house. Kane and I share apprehensive glances before rushing back to the house, where Cecile is still doing her search. We meet her in the living room. "Did you hear that sound?" I ask and she nods. We all proceed upstairs to where more noises are coming from. On getting to the particular room where everything is originating from, we stop in our tracks and look in confusion. Vivian is holding a large bucket of red paint and is just beginning to paint a room we all thought was locked. "Vivian?" I call out to her but she h
