96 BLACK WITCH

"Are you fine now? You're not in pain anymore?"

Gil was endlessly checking her temperature using his forehead and his palm. If someone sees this, they might think that he was her lover.

"Gil, stop it. I'm fine!" Evelyn replied.

"So? Where are the others?" she continued to ask.

"The others? You mean your other contracted spirits?"

"Yes... I can't feel them"

"Well, when your memories are sealed and most of your powers were also chained, everyone decided to go back to their own territory but everyone was disappointed that it took you long before you regained your memories." Gil explained.

"It's not like 8 years are long for them. They lived for thousands of years. 8 years would be a blink of an eye to spirits. What's wrong with waiting for that short time?"

"Child… that's…" Gil wants to clear things up but seeing that Evelyn was back again the way she used to act, he buried the truth for now.
