Narika: The Ghost Bride-Chapter 220 - Two Hundred And Twenty:The Hunt.

"We need a new host, as soon as possible. The body is failing and as well weakening him with each day his life force is not yet settled in its rightful place, so to avoid him going into extinction this time around, we need a new strong host, my Lord."

Sia, the witch told Lucuis who was in her coven, he didn’t like the way she mocked his father and before she knew it he wrapped his hands around her throat.

"Go into extinction for real? Tell me one good reason why i shouldn’t give you to him so he could use your body instead, you will make a fine host with your powers." Lucuis gritted out, vexed.

But what he got as a reply was nothing but the shrill laughter from the witch in his hold." I’m a female, and the last thing he would ever need is to make the mistake of tying souls with a witch, that would only alert the witches council though ruin your little plans, Lucuis, so you see you have no reason whatsoever to hurt me." Sia said, exercising the leverage she had over them.

She was captured by this cruel demon, and locked here with the threat to kill her son if she does the mistake of leaving his father, Rowan, to die nor let anyone from the witches council know about her using dark magic on him.

She was claimed dead after many years of Lucuis arranging her death in a fire, caused by the first war that had kept his father in the same place he was and thus keeping her locked up just like the ancient demon was too.

Lucuis growled, he knew what her words meant but at the same time he couldn’t hurt her nor do away with her just like he had been yearning to do. She was among the set of witches that helped retaliate by throwing him down from his place in the crystal palace.

But the only reason she’s still alive was her job here, and that was enough to ensure whatever she was doing right now, but it wouldn’t last for long because it was clear to him, and also to the witch that her parth would he cut short once Rowan has settled in, with his life force and everything intact.

He would gladly serve her to his father, so he could watch him drain the life out of her as he drinks from her.

He released her as Sia coughed, before stretching her body as if nothing happened before assuming what she was doing.

A thunderous roar filled the building, followed by the cries of the virgin girls that cried to their death, and that made Lucius remember that he’s running out of time.

He has not gotten the information he wanted concerning where the lawmakers had left his father’s life forces, nor do his other brothers have anything else to contribute to help their father.

If anything, he doubted if truly that they were helping him, because all Seth, his twin brother was doing was not clear to him yet, but then he realized that their father had him in Lucifer palace for another purpose not known to him.

"How much time does he have left?" He asked Sia, who was preparing a concoction as he requested to help curb his father’s abnormal urge to feed.

"Judging from the amount of blood he had consumed today, I am afraid to say that he barely had a day to live. Find a new host, one who has a certain dark darkness in his soul to make up for the absence of his lifeforce, that would hold him off for a while until you get the life force back."

Sia said, keeping her attention on what she’s doing just like she was doing the same on Lucius, who wasn’t pleased with her words, but it was none of her business.

If their father dies, she’s free but until then she can’t do anything to fasten his death, the motherfucker was too smart and nothing has happened after he had consumed a lot of the poison she thought would kill him, instead all it did was weaken the host he was in.

"How do i get someone like that in less than six hours, Sia?" Lucius asked, "You know what to do if you want your son to continue enjoying his life, what would you say if i bring him as the new host, would you poison him too just the way you have been doing to the others?"

Lucius’ watched the way her eyes widened in shock, he smirked. He’s not a fool, ever since his father started taking her special drugs that she said was to help keep him strong and to control the host he was in, he also noticed the disadvantage that came along with it.

He yanked her hair back, before raising one of his talons up to her neck." Don’t think that i have no substitute for you, I could end you here and put you out of your mystery, but before that you are going to help me find a strong host, not a weakling this time around." He seethed, before pushing her to the dark mirror where she selects the victims for his next hunt for his father.

"Lucius..." Sia tried speaking, she tried begging for the life of her son, but he bashed her head on the wall and she fell to the ground.

She sat up instantly and tried using her powers on him, but he saw that coming and counter attacked instantly, before she walked on air to stop in front of him, as his right hand was raised up, he was choking her then did he remember that she still had to search for the new host.

He brought the mirror closer this time around, and forced her to start her incantation across the state insearch of what Lucuis wanted.

Finally, after the black foams formed in front of the mirror, a man and a woman, two couples who appeared to be coming out of the hospital, were visible in the mirror.

"That’s him?" Lucius asked, doubtedly. The man he was seeing didn’t look capable of what he was wanted, but when he raised Sia up, she screamed in pain.

"He’s the one! Darkness surrounds the deeper parts of his soul, waiting for the right one to manifest. He’s the right one!" She said lastly, before he sliced her throat and blood gushed out before she fell to the floor with a thud.

Lucius walked over her dead body to swallow her life force, since he has no intention of raising the bitch up from the dead.

"Take care of this mess." He ordered, and a guard appeared out of the dark while he looked at the mirror, back at the man.

He might look weak, but he’s young, so he would do, and without wasting time he went on his hunt for him.
