The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 311 - Three Hundred And Eleven: Spirit Walk

"What\'s the plan?"

Everyone was surprised when Lia walked into the room with an unsmiling face that had a trace of determination in them.

Thanks to muscle memory, Sabrina flinched a bit upon recalling what almost happened.

"I\'m sorry for what I did to you," Lia apologized to Sabrina who stared at her stretched-out hand skeptically, "Are we good to go?"

"Yeah, I\'m good," She took the hand in a firm handshake - with a?bit of fear.

"Why do I feel like I missed something epic?" Electra had her arms wrapped around her chest.

"You did miss a lot," Ben told her.

"Where\'s my mom and Helen and the kids?" Lia inquired, looking around for them.

"They went to bed. It\'s been a long day with the kids," Daniel told her.

"Alright, tell me what\'s cooking," she?asked.

Sabrina went ahead to narrate what happened when she was knocked out and the plan they come up with.

Lia whirled around to Ben, "You are so not doing that?"

"This is my decision, not yours Lia," Ben told her.

"Yeah," Lia scoffed, "Everybody is following after Asher\'s footstep, the martyr. You want to summon the spirit or whatever that claims to be my father from hell after Sabrina blatantly told you that demons give no damn about their offsprings, not to talk of a stranger?! " she admonished him

"No matter what you say, I\'m not changing my mind," Ben insisted.

"Oh really?" Her brow rose, Lia was challenged.

"Yes, and there\'s nothing you can do about that!" Ben was flustered.

"Alright then," Lia smirked mischievously.

No one saw that coming.

Before Ben could even escape or anyone helping him, Lia had raised a rectangular-shaped barrier that trapped him in.

"Lia, this is not funny," Ben banged his hands on the forcefield but it didn\'t wear down nor break.

"You wanted to see what I can do, now I\'ve done it, so do have a nice time in there," She had a tone of mockery in her voice.

Ben closed his eyes and tried to summon a ghost that would possess him and give him the strength to break out of these but he got nothing.

"Good luck Ben," Lia simpered and turned to face the others authoritatively, "Asher is still alive, how do we find him with witch technology?"

The question was directed to Sabrina since she was the only witch available.

"How did you know he\'s -"

"The bond," Daniel answered her.

"I think I have a much better idea," Electra said, attracting everyone\'s attention.

"What is it?" Everyone was curious.

"I can project my spirit to someone as far as the distance isn\'t that much. But then, since the distance\'s much, Sabrina can find a way -"

"To shorten that distance," the witch completed.

"Exactly,"

"I can do that, but I\'ll need a body fluid or hair from Asher," She announced.

In unison, they turned to the tribrid..

Lia was flustered when everyone\'s gaze rested on her.

"I\'m not a creep that has Asher\'s bodily excrement stored somewhere for God knows why," Lia reproved them.

At the mention of that, Daniel turned to Sabrina saying, "You did require our urm.. fluid for that linking spell, remember?"

Lia gave Daniel and Sabrina a weird look, "I seriously did not want to know what that \'urm fluid\' really means," she was repelled.

"Well, thanks for reminding me of the \'urm fluid\' since I can find whatever it\'s left of it," Sabrina said, finding it in her secret skin bag.

Seriously, Lia wonders how she just pops things out of the air. It was so cool.

"Electra, tell me how your powers work," Sabrina kept her talking while she prepared the ingredients for the spell.

"Yeah, I can spirit walk, meaning I walk through walls, barriers, and stuff like that when I\'m in that form. People can\'t see me, only those with strong mental powers like my father," she narrated.

"So you\'re trying to say that even though you\'re not supposed to be seen, people can still see you - some special people? " Lia asked her.

"Yeah kind of,"

" No, no, no, this is too risky - I should be the one risking my life, "The tribrid pointed to her chest.

"And here we go again," Ben groaned, he knocked his head against the barrier.

"Listen here, Lia," Electra demanded her attention, "As much as this is your burden, this is our fight too. We don\'t know the kind of mass destruction you\'re capable of causing, hence it\'s our responsibility to stop it,"

"Preach to her, sister," Ben supported Electra.

"No matter how you much you try to defend us, this is a war and a war requires sacrifice,"

There was a short silence as Lia thought over her words.

"Fine, but promise me you\'d pull out as soon as you encounter danger," Lia asked of her.

"Deal,"

"Step into the circle, Electra," Sabrina asked her to enter the drawn circle.

Electra obeyed and sat down.

Sabrina opened a jar and begun to overlap the circle with salt, saying, "This is to prevent any other creature?from waking in or drawing any from over there,"

She proceeded to draw a weird sign on the girl\'s head with a slimy substance - Lia prayed that it wasn\'t a monster\'s saliva or fluid.

Done with that, Sabrina sat down on the floor with her legs crossed, the jar containing Asher\'s fluid in front of her, and began her incantation.

"Noctem verterunt in diem et noctem diei porrigitur autem temporis spatium minuatur inter"

At once, Electra\'s eyelid became heavy and she drifted off to dreamland. However, when she awoke, she found herself in some prison room but she wasn\'t alone.

"Asher?" She gasped and rose to her feet.

There he was, tied to a seat with silver shackles. No wonder he couldn\'t get out of those, it weakens them - and he wasn\'t alone.

There was an enticing brunette torturing him and she looked like a witch. But what captured Electra\'s attention was their ongoing discussion.

"You\'re such an idiot, don\'t you know your mate is immortal," the woman sneered.

Wow, Lia would be joyous to hear that.

"What?"

And of course, her father had no clue.

"Order must be restored," the witch laughed, more like crackle, "That is her curse for disrupting the flow of nature. While you die from a stake to the heart and the werewolf eventually, she\'d live on and on and on - might even take another mate in the future when you\'re gone- till nature eventually balances, would she finally find peace, "

Okay, hopefully, Daniel never hears of the take on more wolf part in the future. That werewolf was so damn jealous.

This went on and on, with Electra inputting her own suggestion while they were unaware of her presence. It was quite fun until she heard,

"We bound her to our purpose. The moment she dies, the only thought in her head as she returns would be finding justice for the dark witches, for the Burning Eaglet. The council and other witches who have thrived at the expense of our sacrifice, our blood! Would suffer her wrath! "

Oh boy, this wasn\'t going to end well for the witches and possibly them too. Sabrina had to hear this.

Electra wanted to leave but greed got the best of her. Since the witch was talking, why not hear the rest of the news? The witch could still be hiding more facts that could be useful to them.

Then the news came, they had captured Devon and her gang. Oh no, this was bad. If the council had both Asher and the rest, it would be difficult for them to proceed with their plans, she had to inform the others.

"Electra," She heard her father whisper her name out of nowhere. He saw her finally.

"Father," she whispered, tears streaming down her face at the sight of him; it was heart wrenching.

Electra wasn\'t an emotional person, added to the fact she disliked this man from the start, but seeing him like this; helpless and in agony; hurt her heart.

"Don\'t worry, we\'d get you out of here soon," she promised him.

"What was that?" The witch took the phone off from her ear, looking around.

Suddenly, their eyes met and Electra\'s blood ran cold. She could see her? Danger alert.

Electra was about to slip away when the witch said a quick spell and she felt froze at a spot, feeling the urge to throw up. She bent over and began to vomit blood non-stop.

"Stop it, you\'re killing her!" Asher shouted at Selena. The girl was retching to the point of almost throwing up her intestines.

"That\'s exactly the point," Selena had a devilish smirk at the corner of her mouth. She was determined to end the girl.

Meanwhile, on Lia\'s side, they had been waiting for Electra to wake up soon, hence became concerned when blood began to come out of her mouth, nose, and ears.

"That is not a good sign," Lia panicked, "Bring her back now!"

"Male gesta, sicut hodie praecipio vobis ut reditus!" Sabrina said but nothing happened.

"Why is it not working?" Daniel was concerned.

"I don\'t know! This has to be the work of a witch!"

"Lia, release me now!" Ben ordered.

Without argument, Lia brought down the barrier as Ben rushed over to Electra, placing his hand on her shoulder as his eyes rolled over while saying to Sabrina, "Do it now!"

"Male gesta, sicut hodie praecipio vobis ut reditus!"

Instantly, Electra returned to the living, coughing uncontrollably while Ben just laid on the bare floor just as Dan and the others returned from their mission.

That was close.
