Chapter 33: Pain

“Arrrrghhh” Elaine screamed on top of her voice as the maestros burned out the mountain ash from her body.

“She’s in too much pain, I think we should stop” Edgar said as he tried to stop them but Lewis held him back.

“No we can’t risk it, we need to remove every particle of mountain ash from her blood stream before it gets to her heart” Lewis said loudly as he intended to dissuade Edgar from doing what he planned.

“I can’t just stand here and watch her suffer so much” Edgar said trying to move forward but Lewis still held him because he knew that if Edgar went closer and saw her wounds he wouldn’t want them to carry on.

“Edgar!!!!” She screamed again and this time he rushed towards her and held her hand in his.

“I’m here” he said coming closer to see pain in her eyes.

“Make it stop, I might go crazy” she said writhing in pain but he couldn’t risk losing her for a statement she made vulnerably.

“I can’t do that, they need to do this or you won’t get better” he said and she cried more holding onto him tighter.

“How much more?” He said looking at the head maestros.

“It’s infected more parts of her body than we thought, we have a lot of ground to cover in such a short time I’m afraid” he replied looking quite remorseful as he couldn’t do anything to help lighten the situation.

“Then let’s get to it” Elaine said looking very brave, she looked up to Edgar as she held his hand firmly and took in deep breaths to get ready for what was coming.

“Yes my Lady” the man replied and inserted the burning stick into the wound for the mountain ash to burn out.

“Ahhh” Elaine screamed with a high pitch. Her body rose from the wooden table on its own floating on the air and after some few moments she was dropping down like she had been thrown but Edgar was quick to catch her.

“Elaine!!Elaine!!” Edgar shook her body calling out her name but she wasn’t responding.

“What’s happening? Why is she unconscious?” Edgar said facing the maestros who were as confused as he was.

“How on earth was she able to escape?” Skylar said with a low tone that showed just how angry he was.

“I don’t know my Lord, he found the witch slaughtered in the woods and the human hounds along with her.

“Is that something I don’t already know? I asked how she escaped such tactical attack and not how many people she killed to do it” Skylar said as his anger continued building.

“I’m sorry my Lord, but i need you to understand that the witch was the major part in our plans and now she’s dead, we need to come up with some strategy instead of worrying about some girl you are going to get anyway when you take all the lands as yours”Jon said trying to reassure him.

“I know you’re trying to make a point but don’t you dare try to tell me what to do” Skylar said roaring at him as he threw a glass on the ground to vent.

“Yes my Lord” Jon replied bowing slightly.

“Good, prepare the man for a raid on the blue stone pack house” Skylar said as revenge plans filled his thoughts.
