Letters to Romeo.-Chapter 216 - More Guests To The Dungeon?
Caleb mentioning Griffin's time in the dungeon cell, popped a nerve on Griffin's forehead in anger.
"You can either come quietly or you will have to be dragged to the dungeon by force. A witch can never be trusted," commented Griffin, and the guards started to move towards where Julie and Caleb stood.
A witch? Though Caleb, in his mind, he was no witch! This Griffin had lost his mind!
"We aren't going to come anywhere with you, Griffin," retorted Caleb.
Julie raised her hand in a gesture to stop the guards from approaching them. She said, "We haven't done anything wrong, and the reason why the forest is restricted is because of the cemetery that contains your grave as well as the others. It isn't like we both aren't aware of it, and we didn't do anything to the cameras in here."f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
"Those things can be explained in the dungeon. Moltenore and Azazel went out somewhere, so I am sure you will have enough time to think it through," Griffin smiled in the happiness of being able to put this witch in her place.
On hearing Griffin's words, the guards continued to walk towards them. Caleb deeply frowned and demanded, "Who the hell even made you into a security guard?" Griffin's face turned sour, and he retorted back,
"I am the assistant of the head in charge of securing this place. Which also means I have all the power to put both of you in your place for breaking the rules that have been set by the university."
"Like hell I am going to listen to your bullshit," cursed Caleb, and he brought both his hands forward, ready to fight with the guards. Then he suggested to Julie, "You can run if you want to. I can hold them back. Or maybe we both can run."
Instead of turning on her heel, Julie took a step forward. She came to stand in front of Caleb and said, "I have run enough. I am not going to do it anymore."
She then raised both her hands, her palms facing the two guards, who had almost grabbed her, but suddenly one white-blue rope appeared around them, and they were pushed towards the trees before being tied to the tree.
"That was cool, but you know vampires are much stronger, especially the guards who have been appointed to protect the grounds, don't you?" Caleb asked her, who stood behind her, and he said, "We cannot even stake through their heart, because that would be a higher level of offense."
Griffin didn't move from his spot, and he looked down at them with a proud stance.
Like Caleb mentioned, the guards were indeed stronger, and it took less than a few seconds for them to break the ropes around them. The guard who was near to them attacked Caleb. The fight between them looked like nothing less than a monkey playing around, and soon Julie was attacked by the other guard, who came to catch hold of her arm.
Julie muttered the spell that she had learned from the spellbook. The guard was thrown at a tree the next second, which shook the branches and the dried leaves fell on the forest ground. She then bent down, picking up a stone, and drew a pentagram on the ground. When the guard got up, he stomped on the ground, ready to throw her across the forest or to turn her unconscious, Julie placed her palm on the diagram that she had drawn, and she said,
"I hope this works."
She had been trying this in her room every day, picking the most useful spell to learn to protect herself.
The surface beneath her hand glowed brightly, and when she pulled her hand up, a wooden stake appeared, and she used it to stab the vampire's leg. She pulled two more stakes, stabbing his feet so that he wouldn't be able to move from his spot.
The guard in front of her was in pain and wasn't able to remove the wooden stakes from his body as if it had been nailed to the ground.
Griffin didn't like the fact of Julie turning this powerful, and he pulled out the gun from his trouser that had silver bullets in it. He walked closer to her, pointing the gun where her back faced him.
"You are a dead witch," said Griffin. He aimed at her hand, ready to hurt her with the intention of immobilizing her movements so that they could drag her out from here.
Julie's concentration was on the guard, and Caleb, who was only a morm and not a vampire, without any special skills like Julie, was trying to keep the guard at bay when he noticed Griffin pointing his gun at Julie.
"Julianne, behind you!" Caleb shouted her name in panic.
But before Julie could turn, the trigger had been pulled, and the sound of the gunshot echoed through the forest. Julie's eyes widened, and she stood still because of the deafening sound in her ears.
Caleb was the next person, who looked more than shocked, and his lips moved, but no sound came from it. The guard who was fighting with him had the same reaction when he turned to look and heard the gunshot that had been fired, wanting to see who had been shot.
On the other hand, Griffin, who had pulled the trigger, the smile from his face fell immediately. It was because his hand that had been pointing the gun at Julie had moved upwards, and the gunshot, instead of hitting Julie, had been fired at the sky.
"The shit!" Griffin tried to pull his hand back to his side, but someone held it tightly above his head.
"What the hell is that?!" the guard questioned.𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚
Julie quickly turned to see Griffin, who looked frozen in his place. He had been caught in the tight hold of the Corvin's embrace.. Embrace because it looked like a romantic hug, with one hand of the Corvin that had curled around Griffin's neck while the other held his hand.
