Chapter 53 Too afraid to learn the truth

• Kat saw that Ella's hair turned white. She has wrinkled all over her face. She looked like an old woman. The glamorous queen could not be seen in Ella. "What did you do to her?" Kat asked. Hearing Kat words Ella got curious. She asked, "What happened?" But when she spoke, she heard a very new voice. It was harsh and broken. The soothing tone of her was lost. She coughed and tried again. "What did you do to my voice?" Ella asked. Val looked at her and said "Not only your voice. I did something terrible with your whole being," Val said. Ella still wanted to stand up. However, she felt all her muscle is protesting. She gritted her teeth and asked, "Tell me the truth." Val smiled and said, "I took your beautiful youth. I took all your power. Now you are an empty shell old woman. Who doesn't have power or statuses? I make sure you live a miserable life. Where you will want to die regularly. But death will not come to you. You took their life but I give you a life. The worst life you would live." She felt heavy and she could not move her finger. Val continued, "I made you paralyze. So that you could not commit suicide. You will pay for your deed in this life. I will make sure of it." Ella said "No. It is not possible. I can be normal. My master can help me. Yes, yes, Master can help me." "No one can help you. It is irreversible. Bye. Take care" they all went out of the building. They heard the echo of Ella is begging. But who would give mercy to such a person?
• Kat asked, "How did you break free from the magic barrier?" Val pulled his sleeve off and showed her his wrist. It has the contract mark between him and Hope. "But it won't help you. Due to this contract, you both can communicate and feel each other's presence. Also, she can help you to some extent. But that time Ella used powerful magic." Hope said looking at the mark. Val also thought about it. "It is because they are connected by blood. Val drank her blood. So he has the power. A vampire can yield the power that he/she consumes through drinking blood." Val nodded his head. Hope did not save him one time. She continued to save his life. He was grateful to her but this time he felt different. He felt a tingling sensation on his chest. It told him that he has the right over her. Not the dominant or master type but different rights. Sadly, now is not the time to think about it. He will think about it later. They have to save Nadia. Rahman and Abu changed back. They all carry bag pack. So they have extra pair of clothes. They wear it and came out. Rahman said, "Let’s go. Nadia is waiting for us." All nodded and moved forward.
