chapter 12

***

"You know anything she is reluctant to part with that became her obsession won't be easy to find right? ''

"What kind of thing do you think it is ?"

"Perhaps a toy ,a-- no no girls love toys but I bet she has none or..."

Harpers voice could be heard as he spoke non stop causing Amelia to finally turn and face him

" Will you be quiet Harper stop buzzing in my ear ! If we can't find anything we set this freaking mansion on fire!! "

Amelia snapped at the surprised Harper

"Besides I only picked you cause I need your help not to be a hindrance to me_"

Harper became quiet and stunned

"...."

***

Like an alarm bell they could hear the whispers of Matilda

(Matilda or enchantress same person I will use both names)

"Where are you~"

"Aren't you all coming out to face your fate?~"

"I don't like hide and seek don't make me seek you myself"

*Sigh~*

"Still hiding then I'm coming~"

She dragged the end of her words which sounded uncomfortable and creepy

"If she finds us I'm sure she will catch us all this is her lair anyway and she won't let us go so be quick"

Amelia said

The bedroom they were in was a bit messed up

Shadow roses from the ground and formed the enchantress

"You aren't wrong hehe"

Seeing their shocked expressions

She grinned weirdly

''oops~.... You both just got caught times up "

Harper's leg went numb in an instant and he fell on a dressing chair which was old and dusty

It broke immediately

"*Gasp* how dare you ? You intrude my home and break things in it ..."

Harper was confused and immediately pushed the Closet which also fell and broke they have all aged seems like they were placed there for nothing he remembered the bed that was full of bugs

And lifted the sheets throwing them away indeed bugs crawled out

Amelia sneaked behind them used her hands go signal Harper and quickly left

Harper got the signal to distract the enchantress while Amelia find the others

He saw the already angry enchantress and gulped

" You guys better hurry I don't want to die yet"

Harper thought

" Do you lack manners how dare you destroy my things?''

A shadow creeped up on him

"Ah! Many years has passed even though you are dead you still remember manners ...ahck what a good home training"

He was lifted on the neck

"Well unlike a certain young master

I will make sure you learn In hell"

Being strangled wasn't a pretty thing as Harper struggled he immediately cast a gaze full of contempt at her

" Where I..s..oth ...there"

He couldn't speak but by his gaze the enchantress noticed the second person wasn't there

" Ah flee all you want medium I will get you "

Harper was thrown to the floor he winced in pain and tried to catch his breath

" Dumb ..dumb ghost"

He didn't forget to curse

The enchantress like she's came slowly entered the shadows and drifted away

     *        *       *

  Few minutes ago

Amelia skillfully left the room and happened to meet the others who were coming down the stairs

"Did you find anything?"

"Found anything yet?"

Both Amelia and Leo asked at the same time and shook their heads

"Where's Harper?"

Jane asked

"Covering for me"

Amelia replied

They didn't know how Harper was covering but choose to continue

"I think we should check the portrait as it's the only thing related to her "

Xander mentioned

They rushed to the hallways

"Ohh what are you doing ? Can't accept your fate ?"

It was the enchantress voice

"Lighter"

Xander took down the portrait and lit the lighter

" I believe she is obsessed with this as this is the only thing she has that shows her existence lit it up Xander"

Jane stated excited

''obession again haha"

The enchantress was opposite and far from them staring at them like they were a group of morons

"Go to hell enchantress"

They watched with bathed breaths as the portrait burnt down

The air was silent and awkward

''so what happens now? "

They were stunned and turned there stood the enchantress full of curiosity causing their eyes to go wide

" She... She's her.... Here"

Xander stammered

" I'm here so what won't tell me why you burnt a poor picture? "

She asked

" How did she? "

Clearly she was so far away

" Alright enough games since you refused to send one person out well my patience is limited "

" Shit run... "

" I hate games "

The enchantress murmured

Harper who looked Suprised rushed in at the moment

"Is she gone yet is she gon...?"

"Harper!!"

"Dodge! ''

Jane and Amelia screamed and he was slow to react

He felt a heavyweight hit his side and he flew hitting the wall and dropping to the floor unconscious

His head was bleeding

" Quickly help him I will try to delay "

Amelia said pulling out her spirit knife

(An : bear with any change in names )

"I'm the enchantress I shall avenge my sisters on this day ..... Behold intruders I will make your deaths painless and swift hahaha"

They listened to Amelia and Leo as the strongest lifted Harper who look like a broken bleeding doll he was unconscious they ran to the living room

"Medium stay away "

They could hear the clangs and hiss from the hallways

"The door is locked oh no it's locked !!!"

Jane screamed like crazy

"It won't budge are we going to die here no no "

She was full of tears

"The old library there's an exit here hurry after me"

Leo gave Harper to Xander

"I will get the first aid kit so he won't lose too much blood "

Jane muttered and quickly took a box from her bag in the living room

Running after them

In that few minutes Leo already got into the basement hitting the door and Jane was trying to cover harpers bleeding wound as they waited trembling for the door to open

"Augh!!!"

A scream could be heard up at the library

And a loud banging on the door

"It's opening hurry ''

Jane screamed

They heard the running footsteps

" Is the door opened yet ? "

Amelia's out of breath voice sounded

"I will destroy you all medium all of you"

It was the enchantress voice and the door opening loudly that sounded

" Let's go let's go! "

Xander yelled one after the other they rushed out of the door

Amelia got down at this moment close to the door

" Behind you!! "

Jane yelled

Amelia subconsciously dodged groups of shadows obviously chasing at her hit the door

" Hiss"

She got scratched by a long rod

Xander yelled

" Amelia!! "

She was a bit slow and what they saw was she being pulled inside

And the door being shut on their faces

" Amelia!! "

" No no!!"

"Help her!!  help her!!!"

Jane almost fainted from fright

"Jane first treat Harper I will try to break in " Leo ordered

"I can't so much for Harper he needs to go to the hospital"

Jane stated trying to help

"Mia's body is still inside"

Xander said

"Don't worry"

Only the sound of Leo trying to break the door sounded

But the door didn't budge

"Would she be fine!? '

Jane asked

" Amelia Is a smart person she would definitely try to escape "

The place they landed was like last time the back of the mansion

Leo touched his bruised red arm and went to them

" The door won't open "

He said tiredly and Sat on the floor

Harper winced and woke spitting out the blood in his mouth he spoke

" I think my rib is broken"

He was panting and wincing in pain

"Where's Amy"

"Amy?"

They gave him a Suprised look

"Oh it's the nickname I gave Amelia"

"You have time to give nickname Harper lot of time"

Jane said

"She was taken in"

"Uh what??Huhh try..Huhh try to help her out "

He tried to sit up but his body was in pain he could only wince and pant

"Don't make your wound worse Harper sit down "

"We can't help her out the door has been blocked and help isn't coming either "

Xander decide to speak

"How about sending you to the entrance with jane while we try to help Amelia "

Leo said

" No no I don't want to go--huhh I said Huhh ah "

Leo gave harper who tried to refuse but is in pain that he couldn't speak a d struggle much

"We will not be dragged down by you Harper you have no choice"

Xander spoke annoyed

"You-- you ..huhh just let me catch you Huhh... When I ....en I feel bet--huhh..better ah Huhh"

Harper was breathless full of pain but still tried to maintain a fierce aura by being rebellious

"Tch just get him out of here''

And like that despite harpers rebellion and refuser they still took him away

Jane has no problem she was still scared and didn't want to delay Leo or Xander as they would probably do well in rescuing Amelia

" Shut up Harper let's go now"

....

''even you?''

Harper yelled

"..."

He got ignored by them and then taken away

"Call for the car "

Leo said to Jane who nodded

"Already did"
