Chapter 63 Untitled Chapter
When the sun rose the next day, I was already on the bus heading towards the last bus stop in the park. I could have used my magic to go to the Dark Shadows Sect, but I didn't want to be caught.
When I spoke with Healer Matt this morning and narrated all that happened and how the members from the Dark Shadows sect came to kill me, he told me they were alerted by my scent when I appeared in the harmony pack.
He said they wouldn't have known I was there if I had taken the train, plane, or car to the pack.
Well, lesson learned, and if I want to achieve my aim in the sect, I must hide my power since my Alpha scent was already concealed.
Two hours later, the bus stopped, and I got out of the bus. Now standing in the shade, staring at the road, I wondered where I would tell the driver I was going if I stopped a taxi.
I don't know the name of the town where the sect is located, and it would be weird if I told him I was going to the mountainside.
“Tell the driver to take you to the amusement park opposite the mountain.”
The voice in my head rang and went silent again.
“There is an amusement park there? Weird.” I got no answer from them, so I waved my hand and stopped a taxi.
“To the amusement park opposite the mountain.”
The driver’s brows crumpled, and he scanned me from head to toe. “Are you sure that is where you want to go?” He sounded so confused. “Yes,” I nodded, opening the door.
“But that place is creepy; it hasn't been opened for decades now, as there is a ghost roaming around there.”
Like seriously? This is bad!
“You must go there, for that is the only way you can get inside that town.” The voice rang again.
“You've got to answer my question now, whoever you are. How do you expect me to go to a place like that? Didn't you hear there is a ghost there?”
“The moon goddess chose you for a reason, Amelia. Do not defy her order. If you do, you will have yourself to blame for whatever happens to you in the future.” It disappeared again.
“Amelia, listen. Your power was given to you for a reason. No ghost can harm you. Just do as you were told.” Amy said and closed her eyes.
Gosh! My precious life!
“Are you still going there, lady? You have been silent for more than twenty minutes now.”
Great! I didn't even know I had spent that much time mind-linking the voices. Ahh! What a patient man.
“Yes, take me there.”
I leaned on the seat, rested my head on the headrest, and sighed deeply.
Three hours later, we arrived at the abandoned park, and right from outside, you could hear scary sounds coming out.
“Good luck, lady, and I hope you return alive to give the stories of the things you saw.” He shook his head, gave me back my debit card, and sighed.
When I got out of the car, he looked at me, shook his head disappointedly, and drove away.
“Here we are.” I took in a deep breath, scanning the silent area with scary long trees. “Do you hear that?” I asked Amy when a loud laugh echoed inside the park.
“Yes, just go in.”
Go in? Should I go inside that place? Didn't they say the town was opposite it? I can't find any town here, and I don't hear real voices.
“You guys aren't mistaken, right?” I got no answer from Amy nor the voice.
I took in a deep breath, pushed the creaky gate, and stepped in. It was daytime, but the park was dark and had mists all over the place.
As I walked, the dry leaves rustled beneath my feet, echoing in the park, giving that scary sound. Then the laugh came again, and I felt something flying behind me in the wind.
I spun around, my heart pounding in my chest.
“Amy!” I snapped, looking around, terrified. “Did you see that?”
“It's a ghost, Amelia; it can't do anything to you. You are an Alpha, and you have magic inside of you. Get your head straight!”
Is that even going to work? I have never been to a place as scary as this. It gives me the creeps.
Get my head straight. I repeated, exhaled, and walked forward.
I kept going, ignoring the laughter, wind, and the gentle touch on my shoulders.
If I were to be cut in half at that moment, a sign of blood would not be seen in me. I was scared to the bone, but I had to be brave.
After ambling straight for a few minutes, I finally stood in front of the huge mountain, covered from the top in fog.
“Now, you are to climb it.”
Climb what? I didn't know when I cracked up, as that was the funniest thing I have ever heard in my life. Climb that huge, slippery mountain? For real?
“You know how to crack a joke in a tense atmosphere, Amy.” I laughed, holding my tummy.
“But I'm not joking; that is what you should do. How do you expect to arrive in that town if you don't climb the mountain?”
Wait, she is serious about it? What!
My eyes widened in shock as I stared at the mountain. I could just shut my eyes, appear at the other side, and enter the town. Why is this stressing me this much?
“I won't do anything stupid now. I want my freedom, and I will use my magic!”
I yelled in rage, steadying my hands.
“Don't you dare!” Amy snapped, “Listen to us, Amelia. If you don't, you are going to play right into the Dark Shadows leader’s hands.” The voice in my head added.
I don't care! I want to play right into their hands and see what they can do to me. I'm not scared of them, not anymore. And if I fall into their hands, that will be so easy. I will use the opportunity to kill them and be on my way.
“Look over there, I found the town!”
