Chapter 70: Abyss

Logan’s pov

“If she is an immortal witch and is going to wake up why are you trying to stop it?” I asked her and she looked at me.

“Because she wont be the Reene you know. She will look like her, sound like her and even have her memories but she wont be the Reene you know” she said but I shook my head.

“You are the mother who abandoned her, why should I believe you?” I asked her and she sighed.

“Please believe me, she is my daughter and I wanted nothing but the best for her. I don’t have time to explain now, let me explain later” she said and then looked around.

“For now, the most important thing is to stop her from being revived” she added.

“Don’t move, get out of here” I said and looked at the guards who were standing here.

“Take her away” I said and quickly turned on my feet and went straight to Reene’s grave.

She is an immortal witch?

How is that even possible?

Did her mother die to me?

but no matter what I want to wish, and I really hope that her mother is telling the truth.

Sean, Alexa, and Amy were right behind me, if it’s true then I will get to see her again.

I will get to see my Reene again and hold her in my arms.

I will be able to see her smile, hear her laugh and just smell her.

I would kill just to see her again; I would sell my soul and even exchange my own life.

Did your mother tell the truth?

Will you wake up?

I stopped when I got to her grave, someone has already dug it up and the coffin is empty.

I looked around, what could this mean?

Does this mean that she is awake, or someone stole her corpse?

What is happening here?

“What happened? There Is no one here, does this mean she is awake? Or someone stole her corpse?” Amy asked the same question I had in mind.

“How is it even possible? What does this even mean?” Alexa said and closed her eyes.

This is confusing, and that too I don’t have a witch who will help me track her.

But if she hasn’t come to me then I bet her corpse was stolen but who would do such a thing? Who would go as far as to rob a grave.

“You are a few minutes late; we just took her a few minutes ago” a voice said behind a tree.

There is only one person I can think of who would be able to hide their scent.

He is the only person who can enter our pack and do what he wants without being sensed and that is Lucas King.

He appeared behind a tree with a smirk on his face.

“you had your chance with her, and you let her die” he said.

“You killed her, you are the reason she died” I said, and he just shrugged.

“It doesn’t matter, now its my turn” he said, and I looked at him.

He suddenly showed up and declared Reene to be his soon to be bride.

He could have killed us that day if he wanted so I always wondered why he didn’t do so.

And I was confused that if he really liked Reene then why help people in killing her?

I thought maybe he was the crazy kind who destroy something if they can’t have it.

You know the” If I can’t have it then no one can” type.

But after what Elizabeth told us its starting to make sense now.

He wanted Reene but he wanted her to die first and become an immortal witch like him.

“Did you take Reene?” Amy asked him and he laughed.

“Not really, she isn’t really someone I can take. She would destroy me if I tried to make her do anything, her power is honestly amazing” he said smiling.

So, it’s true, Reene is an immortal witch, but this means that he really did take her.

Why else would she go with him?

There is me here in our pack, our home and also everyone else. He is responsible for her death so there is no way she would go to him willingly.

“Why did you take her then? Bring her back” I said, and he looked at me.

“It seems like you don’t believe me, I didn’t take her, but she agreed to come with me.

Afterall her father is where I am, so it makes sense she would want to be with her family” he said, and I rolled my eyes at this.

She doesn’t even know her father’s existence and there is no way she would pick that man over me.

She wouldn’t choose the father she hardly knows over the husband she loved and who loved her just as much.

“Bring Reene back right now” I said, and he looked at me.

“It seems you don’t believe me then; Reene isn’t the girl you know.

She is honestly amazing now; she is even better.

Not tied down to silly and stupid emotions” he said.

That’s what her mother said, she said that Reene will no longer be Reene.

But I don’t believe them, there is no way she could change ever.

Reene will always be Reene no matter what people say, and I refuse to believe otherwise.

She will always be the girl who helped a stranger who was locked up without knowing anything.

The girl who didn’t hold a grudge against an idiot who left her to die alone in a forest.

The girl who loved a monster who didn’t deserve it at all and the girl who walked to her death to save the people she loved.

The girl who would rather take her own life than see a friend do it and then regret it later.

The girl who wanted to live but ended up dying to save the man she loved.

There is no way my Reene would change;

she would never change, and I know that for sure.

“Reene would never go with the likes of you willingly, you forced her.

She probably went with you in an effort to keep us safe from you and your madness.

Bring her back” Amy said.

The guy looked at us and he smiled, his confidence was making me a little uncomfortable the more I thought about it.

“Reene is kind, she is generous, and she is someone who would never change.

I believe that, even after all the blows life has given her she never changed” Alexa said.

“There is a saying that if you stare into the abyss then the abyss stares into you, Reene has been dead for months.

What did you think was happening to her in those months?” he asked his smile cold.

“You should ask me; I am someone who went through it.

its been centuries but even now I am still tormented by what I saw when I was buried.

Reene was staring into the abyss and trust me it stared right back at her” he said but then stopped.

“You can say whatever you want, but it sounds like you are trying too hard to convince us.

Reene is Reene, there is no way she can change” Sean said and then looked at his wife who smiled.

“Like my husband said, Reene is Reene” Alexa said with her head held high.

“And we will free her from your wicked clutches, you better believe it” Amy said.

This made him laugh, he started laughing for some time and then stopped.

“You really are emotional fools, how did people like you survive all those centuries.

I would kill you but that’s no fun right?

I will let her do it, the Reene you have so much faith in will do so” he said then turned around to leave.

He then stopped and looked at me.

“I will make sure that I arrange a meeting, seeing is believing right?

you should see what she has become for yourself” he said and then walked off.

What is this feeling?

Is this fear?

If what he is saying is true then what’s next?

Her mother called her something like the destroyer.

is it possible that someone who couldn’t even harm an ant would be heartless now?

I know the saying of staring into the abyss and I will be honest there is something else that makes my fear grow even more.

That darkness inside her, I have seen it once before with my very own eyes.

She seemed like a different person then, like she would kill anyone and if I didn’t stop her I think she would have.

Did that darkness take over?

Will I be able to keep the darkness under control now?

It worked all the time back then, now will it work?

What did she see while staring into the abyss?
