The She-Devil And Her Alphas

Chapter 315 - Two Hundred And Fifteen: Hope To Meet Again

"Alright Sabrina, handle the flying wolverine, I\'ll take Hazel while Dan stops the thunderbolt from flying," Daniel organized the task

"What about me?" Ben wanted to help out.

"Do whatever you do best, just don\'t get in my way," Daniel instructed without much thought and all went about their mission.

"Alright, baby, it\'s me and you," Sabrina cracked her knuckles. Then she pointed at Hailey happily floating in the air,

"Laeto descendent!"

Unfortunately, the spell didn\'t hit the child; she escaped. Hailey chuckled, sticking out her tongue at Sabrina mockingly.

"You did not just make a face at me?" Sabrina could not believe her eyes,

"You\'re going down right now!" She was determined and hit another spell.

Hailey bypassed it once again. In fact, it seemed like fun to her because she purposely flew close to Sabrina, tempting to see if the witch would reach out her hand and catch her.

"I got her!" Ben triumphed, holding onto her chubby leg. However, that joy turned to panic when he looked down to discover his feet were missing the ground.

"Ahh!" Ben screamed as he found out he was floating alongside her. His scream was a source of amusement to Hailey who bubbled with a giggle.

"Give me your hand, Ben," Trevor tried to touch the screaming boy that was floating away.

"No, don\'t!" Devon pushed down his hand, "From the look of things the little girl can manipulate mass which means -"

"She can negate, shape, and manipulate mass, making it dense or lightened while also retaining the associated properties, " Trevor got her point.

"And hers seems to spread from one person to another hence if you\'d touch Ben, you\'re likely to fly away too, birdy," Devon added, "And Sabrina, you\'re a terrible archer,"

"I am trying not to hurt her!" Sabrina hissed through gritted teeth, mad with a resolution to bring that little annoying birdy down.

"Help me!" his terror-filled voice changed, "Oh this is fun," Ben found out he could navigate with this newfound borrowed power. So he began to play chase with the little girl - bumping against the gilded ceiling and walls more than twice.

Devon, Trevour, and Sabrina\'s eyes connected, an odd look on their faces.

"I\'ll bring Ben down first," Devon offered.

"Gladly," Trevor acquiesced. Watching this scene was a great eyesore.

"No, don\'t!" Ben shrieked, having discovered their plan.

But Devon wasn\'t listening, out of nowhere she summoned paper cranes to float in the air in mass. That distracted them, hence giving Sabrina the chance to hit Hailey successfully with the spell. The child lost concentration and fell, her powers losing their cogency.

"Gotcha," Trevour caught his mischievous little niece from falling to the ground.

"Help me!" Ben screamed as he made his descent.

Unlike Hailey who was grabbed safely, everyone made way as Ben landed on the floor. However, Sabrina had mercy on him by breaking his fall inches away from crashing to the ground hard.

"Oh, thank you,"

"Sleep," Sabrina cast a spell on the child before she could think of another trick.

They all knew the girl was a hybrid who might have inherited double powers thanks to her mother\'s Nicolli side. However, there was a possibility Daniel\'s gene might have diluted that double powers from manifesting. Nonetheless, there was a need to be careful; no one wanted to learn the hard way.

Meanwhile, Daniel grabbed Hazel who was making pretty good designs on the leather couch. If they all survive this apocalypse, Asher would surely cry tears at his amount of property wrecked in this commotion.

"Hey, it\'s okay, little one," He picked her up amid her attempt to be set free," I\'m sorry but I can\'t let you destroy anything further,"

Just like developing teeth for the first time, it was pretty intense for were-toddlers too. To some kids, the ordeal passes painlessly and quickly, but to some, it was suffering, and Hazel seems to be among the latter.

"Is there a bone around here?" he asked no one in particular.

"Here, take this," Devon conjured one.

Daniel gave it a skeptical look.

"It\'s clean and harmless," she explained upon noticing the suspicious look in his eyes," And I\'m sorry for my crappy attitude towards your mate,"

"Let bygones be bygones," Daniel smiled, receiving the bone from her. He put the bone in the kid\'s mouth who latched on it with her still-developing powerful jaw.

"This should do," Daniel had a look of admiration in his eyes as he stroked his daughter\'s furs. He was going to give them the best of his love no matter what.

On the other hand, Dan was currently thinking of a way to stop Arthur without getting roasted. The option of touching him was out of the list, he wasn\'t ready to get charred while experimenting if the kid was a conductor of electricity in that state.

Seriously, of all powers he had to possess, it was an offensive one; like father like son.

Like a hawk, Dan watched, calculating the best thing to strike and just when Rex bent his head as usual for the lightning bolt to hurl past him, Dan teleported him away and appeared in his position instead.

Hence before Arthur could realize his playing mate has been swapped, Dan had already pushed the thought into his head, "You should sleep,"

At once, the boy\'s eyelids drooped,?he fell sideways as sleep overtook him, almost falling off the chair had Dan not caught him.

"Everyone good here?" Daniel looked around for more "disturbances"

"Oh, thank you," Jenny panted, "I am not getting any younger! "

"Sabrina, we need to lock the kids\' powers till we\'re done with the war and all. We can\'t let them go unchecked - who knows what they\'d do next?" Dan suggested.

"I actually thought of that too," Daniel was in support.

"I could cook up something,"?the witch shrugged.

"Why curtail their powers? Just let them express their inner person," Ben claimed.

"Why don\'t you just tell us you want to float again," Electra saw through his trick.

"Of course I am," Ben was not ashamed to admit it, "Man has always been intrigued by the idea of flight. Humans over the years tried to fly just like the birds - the results were often disastrous. Look at?Icarus, he tried to fly, but he flew too near to the sun; the wings of wax melted and he fell to his death in the ocean…"

Everyone had weird looks on their faces listening to Ben ramble on. What was his point? Let him fly?

He went on, "King Kaj Kaoos of Persia attached eagles to his throne and flew around his kingdom. Alexander the Great harnessed four mythical wings animals, called Griffins, to a basket and flew around his realm. And do you know the history of aviation extends for more than two thousand years, from the earliest forms of aviation such as…."

"Silentium," Devon said a spell that sealed Ben\'s mouth, all that was heard were his muffled speeches.

The person in question pointed at his mouth, wondering why he couldn\'t speak out.

"Desine," Sabrina ceased even his muffled speeches from being heard. She turned to face the others relieved,

"Now, where were we?"

"How to burst Lia out?" Trevor reminded.

Everyone ignored Ben since they couldn\'t hear his whining anymore.

"I just got news from my side," Daniel notified them, "Ryan has prepared my pack and we got allies too - turns out most wolves dislikes the council,"

Suddenly, Dan vanished and reappeared in a twinkle of an eye,

"Gideon and Zukai employed more forces too; Nicolli Clan is good to go," He added, "I also got an interesting information, "

Surprise flashed across their gazes and their ears peek up to receive the unexpected news.

"I received Intel that there seems to be some kind of disparity in the council; they are fighting amongst each other," He disclosed.

Everyone was stunned by the revelation.

"Wow, that\'s kind of a good thing. We would put that distraction to good use. If they are fighting amongst each other, that gives us easier access to the council, our focus being on getting Asher and Lia out," Sabrina laid out the plan.

"If that\'s going on, we have no time left so we have to move out now," Daniel told them.

"Yeah, you\'re right. Let\'s go - "

"Wait a minute," Devon stopped them,

"Electra clearly said Lia\'s bound to their will. Doesn\'t that mean that even if we get Lia out, as far as one of them kills her on holy ground or item, the apocalypse still activates? Don\'t we have to do something about that? "

"Devon\'s right. If Lia\'s bound to their cause, there has to be a physical item acting as some sort of representative in -"

"Like her hair that was stolen from her home?" suggested Devon.

"Exactly,"

"But we don\'t know their location,"

"Not if I run a locator spell with that crow sent to spy on us. I could get something from that," Sabrina surmised.

"Alright, while you work on stopping the witch apocalypse, we are set to battle the council," Daniel\'s gaze suddenly turned solemnly as he added, "In case we don\'t all return from this journey, just know that it was a pleasure knowing you all - Ben included,"

"There\'s no need for such demoralizing speech. We are all going to return safely because we have each other\'s back like a family," Sabrina contradicted his negative comment.

"Yeah, like a family," Everyone smiled, laying aside their differences, race, and personality to accomplish the mission at hand.

"Let\'s meet again!" they all agreed with enthusiasm, then dispersed.

"And you," Sabrina dragged Ben along,

"You\'re coming with me," she didn\'t trust him not to aggravate the situation.
