Narika: The Ghost Bride-Chapter 238 - Two Hundred And Thirty-Eight: Order Must Be Restored!
Naomi opened her eyes with a gasp leaving her lips when she was back from the subspace she was in, to find everyone seated down waiting eagerly for her to be back, with good news but unfortunately what she had was far from anything good.
"Naomi, you are back." Marya said, moving up to help her to the seat, as she touched her temple. She was still feeling a little bit fuzzy from the little journey she took into Narika’s mind.
Looking at Marya and the rest she noticed that the clothes they were wearing, wasn’t the one they were putting on when she left, which could only explain one thing.
"What really happened?" Alex Singh asked, standing up with his arms folded, before pushing his glasses up to meet his eyes properly to see Naomi’s confused gaze.
"How long was i out?" Naomi asked.
"Two days." Marya whispered, to which Naomi’s eyes widened in despair, to her it wasn’t even up to four hours since she went unconscious, and she was really mindful of her time because the dreamland was a dangerous place to stay.
Especially if the person who you are trying to connect shuns you out, you might be trapped in there but no, it was the opposite. Time has rushed by on earth and she didn’t know if this was because of Rowan being here on earth.
She looked at Alex and Nelson, not really knowing how to start with her explanation, especially when it had to do with the fact that she got nothing from Narika yet, and that there’s a huge possibility that Rowan has killed both Adrian and Camille and took the life forces for himself.
They don’t even have any idea that such a thing exists, they were still recovering from the Lucifer/ Narika and her child’s issue and now there’s a powerful ancient demon who’s not just after Lucifer, nor Narika or her child who was already grown up. But he’s out there on earth to kill everyone and enslave mankind.
"Naomi, you are scaring me. You haven’t was said a word about why you are called, what’s wrong with you?" Marya asked, really scared at this point. She has always been a fearful person and watching her act this way as if she has seen a ghost was complicating things for her, making her think things that she doesn’t want to add to her cart of worries about her daughter.
"I met her." Naomi started." I met Narika and i told her about her uncle and Camille. She wasn’t able to get back to me if Lucifer is the one holding them because he’s not the one."
"Then who is it? Who has them?" Nelson asked, he was studying her body language to see that she was trying to hide things away from them, but at the same time she has no other option than to force herself to talk.
"It’s.. complicated. I went to the witches council trying to look for them only to find out that one of us is missing too, just like the others and the girls on earth. But then, Adrian is the first man to be gone along with the girls, so I don’t think it is who we think that has Camille has him." Naomi explained, making their curiosity spiral higher and higher because she seems to be talking in circles.
"I don’t understand, if Lucifer is not the one holding Camille, then there’s another person who you guys are suspecting but you think Adrian is not held captive by him too, what is it you are trying to say exactly?" Nelson solved the puzzle.
"Someone...no, things are complicated in hell and in heaven right now, an ancient demon named Rowan is responsible for the death of these missing girls and prove has it that he’s on earth."
"Wait, wait! It’s not just Lucifer anymore but Legion of Demons right now?" Marya asked, so scared that she rubbed her folded arms to create warmth as instant coldness filled her up.
Is Narika safe?
What about the baby?
She thought, she had questions that she knew she had no right to ask, but then at this point she didn’t care what anyone would say if she asked them since after the act she pulled when Narika was here and needed her.
"Every dimension in the spiritual realm are ready and out to fight this demon, and trust me, Fellas. It’s going to...." Naomi was explaining before the ground shaked and everyone had to grab into something to steady themselves from falling.
"What was that?" Marya asked, looking at Alex who hasn’t been able to say anything since after what Naomi had told them.
"I don’t know, it had to be...’’Nelson said, but as well the second time the ground rumbled again, the clock was the first to shatter to the floor causing Marya to jump where she was. Then the front door opened and in walked a very injured Cain.
He was bleeding from his temple, and was walking towards them while his other hand was bleeding as well.
"What’s happening, Cain?" Alex asked, walking up to hold him before he fell to the ground, as he tried to talk but then he was losing a lot of blood that made his eyes run inside his head.
"He’s looking conscious, what do i do?" Alex asked no one in particular but Nelson was the one who rushed over to help.
"Let me check what’s going on?" Naomi said, moving for the door because her mind wasn’t at ease. She could feel that something was wrong and this was not any normal earthquake.
There’s not been any recorded details of earthquakes around the area in years, so why now?
The moment she opened the door, and her eyes connected with the dark cloud forming on a particular side of the sky, as it was cascading down to a particular place on earth not not close to where people were living, there was only one answer for this.
Rowan. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
It’s not yet the day of the red moon, but since everyone knew about his existence. The fear had ran over the hearts of not just the humans, but also in hell and heaven because they didn’t know what exactly he wanted, if not to make them suffer for what they had done to him.
The screams that her ears caught up on made her look forward, to see the guards of Alex lying on the floor, whimpering in pain as she rushed over trying to get know what exactly was going on until an explosion went off in the sky that made her fall to the ground from its force.
When she regained herself, she wasn’t able to hear anything but the ringing sound that always comes after a bomb just went off in an arena you are close in.
"M.. Marya." She muttered to herself, when she remembered that they were still inside the house, and she tried to stand up but failed woefully before under her watchful eyes, those guards that were screaming in pain on the floor started chanting a sacred incantation containing black magic then stood up synchromatically.
All of them stood up in a robotic kind of way, that gave one the fear that they are being compelled, before she looked into the eyes of one of them who was closer to them, their orbs replaced with that of an angry demon.
Rowan’s.
Red eyes shot up to her, as she noticed their eyes on her, there were like twenty of them who were under the influence of Rowan.
He’s controlling the humans, rumors had it that he’s building an army but it never really occurred to anyone that he was going to use the humans as his pawns.
"Order must be restored! Master will be pleased." They all chanted, coming around to form a circle to trap Namoi in it, as she tried running but her leg hurt after the falll as a result of that explosion.
"Let me go!" She yelled, when she was snatched right up on her feet by one of the humans, no, Rowan’s minions, before she looked towards the entrance of the house to see Marya, Nelson and Alex.
"Guys, over here! Help me!" She shouted, before they all started coming close to where she was, it really didn’t occur to her why the guards didn’t try to stop then from coming close to her if they were normal, until they were close enough for her to look into their eyes to see that they were compelled too.
"Order must be restored! Master will be pleased."The trio chanted.
"No! Marya you need to fight this, Nelson! Alex!" She yelled, before she was hauled up and they started leaving every single one of them, with her as their hostage.
It didn’t really occur to Naomi that things were not just bad inside this estate, until they left the gate to see the humans that were not compelled under Rowan’s spells, running for their lives as the others under his control were capturing every single one of them.
Not just the adults.
Everyone, including the kids.
"Noo!" She sobbed, when under her watchful eyes a baby was thrown into a fire before their parents were captured, she tried fighting back.
She’s strong, until a hit to her head altered her consciousness and she found herself slipping between the balance of reality and the other side, until everything went dark.
