"Alexander, Ashton, go with Kiara and take the humans out. Help her teleport them to a safer place. She can do the spell, but you’ll have to help her to prevent a stampede situation. Ask her to erase their memories. It will be hard to bulk erase them, but the least we can do right now is try to be as much productive against Madeline as we can," Christopher said, making both the guys nod their heads before they rushed towards the witch called Kiara.
"You are not here to be a killjoy, are you?" Madeline said as she looked at Alexander and Ashton, who was running towards where humans were hiding in small groups.
Raising her hand in the air, she created a fire prison, trapping them in it.
"What’s the hurry, mates? How rude of you to not even greet me, when you have come here for me in the first place. You won't like it if this prison starts sucking your powers, will you?" Madeline smiled when she saw the witch struggling to extinguish the fire so that Alexander and Ashton could go out.
Hearing her warning, the witch called Kiara immediately stopped before she looked at Christopher with defeat.
"Let them go, Madeline!! Your fight is with us. Leave the innocent alone. They did nothing wrong with you. Your fight is with the supernatural and the gods. Don't bring them into this mess. It is us you should take your revenge from, not them," Christopher said, trying to buy some time so that the witches that he had sent secretively on the saving mission could do their work.
"Revenge? Come on, Christopher. I didn’t expect such foolishness from you. Do you think I am doing this for revenge? Of course, not. I am doing this because this is fun. Regarding my fight with you guys, it's purely because I hate you. There is nothing like revenge. I don't play on such negative emotions. Everything I do is for the sole purpose of pleasure," Madeline smirked, her smile getting wider as she raised a small child from the crowd and dismembered her in front of Christopher.
“No!!” Christopher shouted in defeat when he saw what she did.
"Have you ever tasted blood? You must have used it in your spells a thousand times. But have you ever licked it? I am sure you never even tried. After all, you are a witch of the white kingdom, aren't you? But you must’ve wondered for sure how good it tastes, no? Well, let me help you taste it. It tastes delicious, I am telling you. And, the surge of energy that is followed by each drop that enters your system is phenomenal. Come here, taste it," Madeline said, ignoring his words, smiling evilly. She opened her palm in front of him, the palm that was still stained by that child’s blood, motioning for him to come and lick it.
She knew what she was doing. She knows that Christopher can't taste human blood. The day he will taste human blood, not only will his throne be snatched away from him, but he will also be sent to the dark kingdom.
There he will have to spend a hundred years serving the black witches, which everyone knows will be a great humiliation for his bloodline.
"Don't joke around it, Madeline. You know that I can't do it. It's a sin for me, for witches like us," Christopher said, his voice rising in anger.
"What? What did I hear? You can’t do it? Or is it that you won't do it? The last time I checked, you were this righteous person, who was ready to do anything for humanity and save the world from evil. Where did that guy go now?" Madeline joked before she tilted her head as an idea popped on her head.
"You know, that's the problem of guys like you. You always need stimulation to do something. Now, what I am going to do is pick a few people from here and separate the limbs of their bodies one at a time. It would be a little bit messy, but what can I do about it? I have given you a chance. Either you lick this blood over here, or I start my pleasurable game," Madeline said as she raised a few people in the sky through her magic, her warning crystal clear to everyone.
Rotating her palms, she looked at Christopher, who looked on the verge of losing his act.
Turning his head, Christopher looked towards his witches, who had created a temporary dimension circle to teleport people in bulk from here to some safe forest before sighing loudly.
He knows that to save as many people as they can, he needs to buy more time. He will be able to do it only if he keeps her busy and distracted, thus, this was the only option he was left with now. He will have to sacrifice for the peace of the world.
Christopher, who was busy with his thoughts of what to do next, didn't notice that he had been looking in the direction where his witches were, for too long, and Madeline, who noticed that he was looking in a particular direction, again and again, squinted her brows before flying over the area.
Witnessing what was happening there as she saw witches sending the people away through the teleporting circle, she sighed in exasperation. Scrunching her brows in anger, she looked towards the fire prison that she had created, her anger flaring when she found it empty.
"You!! You guys tried to fool me so that I don't see what you guys are doing?" Madeline asked with a shocked expression on her face.
However, her shocked expression lasted for a few seconds before she started smiling and then laughing hysterically.
"Haha…haha… I don't know whether I should laugh at your stupidity that you thought you guys can save them by taking them somewhere that is unreachable to me, or should I laugh at you because of your failed attempt at such a lousy plan. Tell me, is there a place on Earth I can’t reach? You are not thinking about making them live underwater, are you? There are crores of humans on this planet. How will you help them all?" Madeline said before her golden eyes turned pitch black, her soft mood immediately vanishing as she looked towards where the fire prison was.
Extinguishing the fire, she closed her eyes before chanting some spells.
Floating in the sky while she looked around herself and everywhere as a hawk, it wasn't long before she spotted Alexander and Ashton, helping the witches to send the humans away.
Pointing her hand in their direction with her hand opened wide, she started sucking their energy slowly and painfully so that they feel the pain of their bone-breaking and healing, again and again.
“I honestly didn’t want to do it, but you guys leave me with no choice. I didn’t want to kill my mates this time, but I can’t help it when you guys are like this,” She said before she closed her eyes to enjoy the energy.
