UNDER HIS ENCHANTMENT, VOLUME 2 SEASON 7 - Season 7 Episode 57

Left without a choice, Evie spread out her wings and jumped off Onyx’s back. A powerful beam of light immediately shot out of her palm, hitting the giant’s head right in the temple, just as it was about to attempt to bite Onyx’s leg.

The giant fell with that one strike and Onyx instantly took that opportunity flew upwards again after grabbing Evie with his other claw. As if he had known all along that her wings would not be able to flap fast enough in order to get away.

Evie was breathing hard as she watched the giants jumping and leaping, still trying to reach them even when they were already high enough to avoid the giants. Her heartbeat was thudding loudly in her ears. They did it. They actually did it!

Klauz, Queen Beatrice and the vampires were so shocked at what they had just seen. They all felt like they had nearly gotten a heart attack watching their queen pull off that dangerous stunt.

They all held their breaths while watching, knowing that none of them could go in and fight. For goodness’ sakes!!!

“I didn’t know that the Light Queen is such a daredevil! Holy!!!” one of the generals yelled once they saw that the queen and her dragon were finally in a safe place and now returning behind them.

“What in the…” Klauz was gritting his teeth. “What the freaking lord was she doing?! That’s just too damned dangerous!!!” he could only curse and curse as he killed the monsters that were gathered before him, as if venting out his anger, knowing that he could not even go to give the dare devil queen a good scolding. He was burning to tell her that if she had died there, everything would be over!!! “You better not do that freaking stunt again, Light Queen, or else I swear…!!!” Klauz constantly grumbled and muttered just under his breath.

He sent one of his men to go forward his message to the queen before he focused his attention back to his own battle again.

The vampires on the other hand, were literally clasping their hands over their chests and only let out the breaths that they were holding in once they saw the giant fell off from clinging onto Onyx’s claw.

Damn!!! That scared the hell out of their very core!!!

Even though they trusted wholeheartedly in their Queen, seeing her put herself in such a dangerous situation where none of them could possibly reach her on time, was just a little too much for their hearts to take in. What had happened? Their queen would not have risked herself foolishly like that without a vital reason. But still…

“I’ll go check on her. Focus on the battle and don’t worry about Evie!” Queen Beatrice commanded as they saw Onyx now landing a bit farther behind them where there were no more threats of monsters. Those areas that they had passed were already cleared of any threats to their own people, making it ideal for those who were injured to stop and see to their wounds or for those that were too exhausted and needed to take a short rest.

The vampires could only nod, knowing that they cannot leave their post at the moment as they needed to support those wounded and resting behind them, making sure that no other monsters get past them and to their comrades at their back. Also, they trusted in the vampire Queen. So far, she had not led them astray yet.

They refocused their attention on their enemies once again, and the fierce battle continued. Without the powerful vampire Queen with them, they knew they had to give more than their all – one hundred and one percent of their efforts. Any slight distraction would be enough to cost them their lives. They rallied themselves and encouraged each other to stay alert and fight bravely. They still needed to meet up and report to their queen later on. They also needed to stay alive to meet again with their king.

And with that thought in the minds of the vampires, they roared their battle cries to the heavens and marched on ahead, eyes glinting with killing intents and hearts burning with the flames of hope.

…

“Evie!” Beatrice rushed over and reached Evie as soon as Onyx landed, worry was plastered all over her face. Though she had kept up a calm and strong façade in front of the troops earlier, only God knew how her heart had trembled as she thought of the danger her dear daughter-in-law had faced and also the well-being of her grandchild that was growing in her womb.

Upon seeing the troubled expression on Queen Beatrice’s face, Evie immediately felt guilty. She knew she must have scared the hell out of everyone, most especially her husband’s mother.

“Mother.” Evie called out softly as she extended out her arms to greet Beatrice.

“Are you okay?” Beatrice hugged her first before pushing her back to do a quick survey on her, wanting to make sure that Evie was not hurt at all.

“Yes. I am not hurt at all.” Evie reassured her anxious mother-in-law.

Beatrice let out a long and relieved breath. “Why did you attempt such a dangerous move? What did you…” the vampire queen suddenly trailed off at the sight of a man covered with dark green and viscous fluid all over his body.

Evie rushed towards the man. Using her magic, she melted the ice chunks that were nearby and directed the water to be poured all over the man, attempting to clean him off. The light fae quickly assisted Evie in washing off the filth they believed was the monsters’ blood.

Once the thick filth was removed, Evie finally confirmed that the man was no other than Zolan.

She knelt on the ground, holding the man’s face in both her hands.

“Zolan?!” Evie called his name. He was limp and so weak it seemed hard for him to even open his eyes. But the most important thing was… he was still breathing. “Zolan… can you hear me?!”

“My Queen… his arm.” The light fae beside her spoke and it was then that Evie noticed that Zolan had lost his right arm.
