Chapter 254 Try and Take it
(Third POV)The wind picked up with so much force that the witches were barely hanging on.
Alaric and Theo transformed back to their human form, after noticing the barrier around them. Theo fell on his knees with his shoulders slumped. His hands tightened with anger and hatred.wo figures stood right at the edge. One of them had red fiery hair, her green eyes fixated on the pulsing heart. "It is time to join the battle now." She muttered under her breath.
"You think it is a good idea? Shouldn’t we wait for both sides to get wasted?" Gwen turned to Seraphina. Behind them, a large group of witches was ready for their orders.
Seraphina turned to Gwen. "It is now or never."
As Aeris reached for the heart, the Bone witch charged at her, she turned abruptly to meet her gaze, and with one single look, the bone witch felt a heavy pressure on her.
The bone witch’s knees buckled, digging into the earth, she let out a whimper, it felt like her whole being was being crushed.
Aeris reached for the heart, but a fireball flew directly towards her, she looked from under her lashes, and the fireball dispersed before it could reach her.
Her gaze flicked toward the source, and through the thinning smoke, Seraphina stepped forward, her red hair burning in the light of the storm. Behind her, Gwen and a line of witches advanced, magic crackling at their fingertips.
The battlefield went still for a heartbeat. The Bone Witch, pinned beneath Aeris’s power, snarled through her teeth and spat black blood onto the ground. "You dare..." she rasped, but her words broke off in a ragged cough.
Seraphina’s eyes did not leave Aeris. "Step aside," she called, her voice carrying over the roar of the cyclone. "The heart is not yours to take."
Alaric staggered to his feet, his chest still heaving, and his golden eyes burned with suspicion. "Ae... Princess, let me handle them?" His voice cracked with fear and longing, but his claws elongated.
Theo’s jaw tightened, rage still contorting his face as his gaze darted from Damon’s lifeless body to the new witches closing in.
The air trembled as Seraphina lifted her hand, and her army of witches raised theirs in unison. Seraphina’s eyes met with Alaric’s for a second too long, her heart hardened more as she saw his claws.
Aeris lowered her hand over Damon’s heart, her golden vines curling protectively around it, shielding it from every side. Her calm but cold voice cut through the chaos.
"Try and take it," she said, her purple and gold eyes locking on Seraphina. "And you will all burn to ashes."
