Young Master Damien's Pet-Chapter 621 Morgueatory- Part 5

Her head was chopped off and it should have meant she had died but who knew that the woman was still alive and had been waiting for the right opportunity to strike. Her presence on the land of the council didn't affect her which meant what they had thought was true. When a witch was modified to another creature it made it possible for them to walk on these lands.

"Any words on this, Murkh?" Damien asked the man as he was the one who had to test the body.

As expected, the witch made her way towards the door, ready to leave with what she heard. "She cannot leave the room without the keys. She is all yours to kill and I will take her body later," replied Murkh who stood next to them. The man observed the black witch, his red eyes looking at her features that had turned to normal and she took the form of a human.

"That is good to hear," Damien commented back, not happy that she had eavesdropped on their conversation. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

Finding the door to be locked which she had been waiting for hours since she was put in here, she turned around to look at the man who this place belonged to but instead of attacking him, she went for Damien who had chopped her head off.

She attacked him fiercer than ever and Damien blocked every one of them. At the same time, the black witch threw a knife across the room that was headed in Penny's direction. Penny who had noticed this had moved from the path quickly not knowing she would be targeted while the witch was busy fighting Damien.

As if one black witch was not enough, one of the cylinders that held a man shattered with the liquid spilling on the floor and the floor sizzling due to the acidic property of the solution. And then another cylinder broke, waking up the dead bodies who turned their heads to look at them.

"She's woken up the dead," Penny wondered how powerful this witch might be to be able to do it. Penny pulled out the knives that were coated with poison. When the dead man came to attack her, Penny fought the man with her knife which only ended up getting stuck to his body and she wasn't able to retrieve it back. Damien was dealing with the black witch while Penny and Murkh were trying to get their backs off by the dead men.

"You must have missed me to come back from the dead," stated Damien as he continued to dodge the witch's attack.

"I had to send you to h.e.l.l," the black witch replied back to him, the two knives she had picked up slicing in the air to get him.

"Ladies first," Damien responded before sending the woman flying across the room and she fell on the floor.

It was obvious now that the infiltration would take place during the time of the exam. That was if there was one but at the same time, it was one of the ways to find out who the witches were.

The last time he had played with the black witch by teasing and taunting her but Damien had no time for it, not when Penny and Murkh were being attacked by the dead men and women who had come to life.? Pulling out the gun, he pulled the trigger and in one shot the black witch stopped moving and dropped dead on the floor.

The other dead people had not stopped chasing Penny and Murkh around and no gunshots helped nor did the knives. It was only when Penny's eyes fell on the dead witch who had momentarily stopped moving, she noticed the voodoo dolls that had fallen out of her pocket. Quickly grabbing them, Penny ran towards the fire to burn the voodoo doll where the twigs quickly caught fire to stop the dead men and women moving and fell flat on the ground.

"Did it stop?" asked Murkh who held the tray in his hand and looked down at the dead bodies.

"For now," Damien said. His head turned back to look at the dead witch and this time, he dragged the woman from there to throw her into the fire to see her body burn.

Both Damien and Penny left Murkh to mourn over his precious collections who had been damaged thanks to the black witch. While the man was cleaning, they took a walk outside the building.

"The black witch appeared more powerful than the rest," Penny pointed out, feeling somewhere it was not because of the body up-gradation from witch to having vampire organs, "I think with every step they do the ritual, the magic that was locked away is getting nearer and letting loose of the magic towards them."

"Doesn't the magic come only after filling up all the criteria and sacrificing things and people? Right now they don't know who or what about it," they walked into the forest that surrounded the council.

She then reminded him, "Maybe we know only one side of the story of what we have read and heard, the truth might be different."

"We need to stop the ritual if that is, and that is only possible by killing the witches who are involved. I forgot to tell you something," Damien said remembering about her mother, "I have your mother put on high alert. She is currently on the wanted list with a bounty of two hundred gold coins."

Penny raised her eyebrows hearing this. She stopped walking to look at him. He was serious?

The first time when Damien and she had met each other, he had threatened her by saying he would put her pictures across all of Bonelake so that she would never escape him and she had believed it to be an empty threat. A joke.

"She will be furious," Penny commented, remembering one of her mother's furious expressions which had surfaced from the forgotten memory.

"I am sure she is having a good time," Damien smirked thinking about it.
