Chapter 59 DALIA
DALIA
I don't know how long I sleep, but when I wake up I feel much better and stronger. I drained my energy when trying to undo the spell but it was worth it. I turn to my side and Ezekiel is sleeping next to me. I smile. It feels so good knowing that he hardly leaves my side wherever I'm in this state.
I take the opportunity to study his handsome features. I already know that he's extremely handsome but I don't think I will ever get tired of staring at his manly face. His pointed nose, full lips, strong and sharp jawline and his adamapple always does something to me. I don't think I will ever find any man as handsome as him.
My fingers are itching to touch his face and I don't want to wake him. What if he has been awake all along and just fell asleep some minutes ago. I need to let him rest. I stare at his face for another minute before I finally look away. I sit up from the bed and stretch my upper body. I feel strong now.
I climb down from the bed and walk towards the window. I pull the curtains away and notice that the sky is dark. How long did I sleep? Was I that weak? That explains why Ezekiel is sleeping. He probably was watching over me all day and fell asleep through the process. It's a good thing I didn't touch him which might make him wake up. He needs that rest.
I really need to find what to do about me being extremely weak anytime I overuse my power. If this continues it will affect me in the future. Because this won't be the first or the last time I will overuse my power.
I'm glad we are slowly reaching our goal. I'm sure Sarah and Samara will be awake by now. Just like that female voice said, Sarah knows a lot. But I believe she's not working with the witches.
If she knows about the devils and the war, why did she keep quiet? Did Jerald know that she knew?
Well, I will get the answers I need once I question Sarah. I must do everything to get the truth she knows from her even if it means to threaten her.
I feel like taking my bath but realize that I'm still in Ezekiel's room. I gently leave his room so as not to wake him up. When I get to my room, my eyes subconsciously look at the wall clock. It's eight pm. Is this the right time to speak with Sarah? But I don't think I will speak with her without Ezekiel's presence.
I pull out my clothes and toss them into the laundry basket as I walk into the bathroom. I took a warm bath, feeling so refreshed. The water that runs through my body seems to give me more strength. I soaked myself in the bathtub filled with warm water and sweet fragrance for like twenty minutes. I take the opportunity to cool my head and think about some things. Especially the uneasiness I'm feeling.
I just don't know why I should feel this way when everything is already going well. Is there something I am missing? Won't we get all the answers we need from Sarah?
We will definitely not get all the answers but it will go a long way. And whatever it is that will happen in the future, I will be ready for it. So I don't need to feel uneasy.
After staying in the bathtub for a good amount of time, I step out of it. Rinse off my body and dry my skin with my baby blue towel. I don't have a favorite color but I like my towel to be blue. I pulled out a night dress from my wardrobe and put it on. I let my hair fall on my back to let it dry naturally. Just after I'm done, I heard a knock on my door.
Before I could reach the door, Ezekiel's sandalwood scent filled my nostrils. I open the door and his worried face greets me.
Fuck! He would have been so worried when he woke and couldn't find me next to him. I hope he will stop being paranoid. He should know that I will never leave him and nothing will ever happen to me.
“Oh my God, Dalia. I thought something had happened to you. I'm glad you are fine,” he says with a relieved tone as he steps into my room.
I smile as I let him pull me into his arms. “As you can see I'm fine. You should always try to stop being paranoid. Nothing will ever happen to me.”
“I'm sorry. I can't help it,” he says and kisses my forehead. I let him hold me for a while.
“Do you think this is the right time to speak with Sarah?”
“Maybe.”

UNKNOWN POV
I pace round my room helplessly. Everything was going fine. Why is it crumbling now? They got hold of Sarah and if she talks, it will be over. If only Annika had done a clean job, things wouldn't have turned out this way. I think she's not the one to blame, but that stupid Alpha. All these are his fault. He shouldn't have stupidly acted on his own. It would have been easy for us to get hold of Dalia when she's still in that dungeon. But because of that stupid Alpha, she was taken out of the dungeon. It was all because of those stupid creatures he sent there.
But I can't deny the fact that we underestimated Dalia. How could we forget that she's the goddess daughter and she could be extremely strong. Annika died because we underestimated her. And now she has proven once again that she's more than we think she is. I can't believe she undid the spell on Sarah and Samara. That was a strong spell. How was she able to do it?
I need to stop them from talking to Sarah but how do I do that? I thought for a while and I got an idea. The only way to stop them from learning the truth Sarah knows is to kill Sarah. Yes, Sarah needs to die and she must die tonight. I just don't fucking know why Annika didn't kill them and decide to put them in that mental hospital after ruining their mental state with a strong spell. I was definitely against that idea but of course no one listens to me. They said they need Sarah alive. Well, no one would have thought that Dalia would find her. Her powers won't cease to amaze me.
But now I must do what is right. I don't care if we need Sarah alive or not. I will kill her. I will kill her to hide the truth she knows. No one will suspect me. They probably didn't know that I knew all of their plans.
I pick my very sharp hair pin and sneak out of my room towards the room where they kept Sarah and Samara. Sarah is a traitor, so if I kill her. It won't be a big deal. I will also kill her dear husband so they can meet in hell and continue to be in love with each other. Jerald is such a pathetic man. Despite knowing that Sarah is a witch. An enemy, he still loves her.
When I get to her room. No one is outside. It was not easy to get here since where I live is far from the main house. I look very well before opening the door and walking in. She and Samara are sleeping. It will be easy to kill them. I bring out the hair pin. I'm about to stab Sarah when a hand grabs me. I freeze.
“Weren't you told she's needed alive. Can't you follow a simple instruction?”
I turn to see the owner of the voice that spoke. I was beyond shocked when my eyes fell on the person.
What the fuck…
