CHAPTER 41
ALPHA LINCOLN'S POV
Flashback
"We discussed this, we cannot let Elowen get these Lockets", we all discussed in my office, excluding Montana.
"So what do we do now? We could not come up with any plan so far", Sean said, while thinking of anything.
"I will go with you, Alpha Lincoln, instead of Sean", Davina offered.
"That cannot happen, Davina and you know it. She would probably sense your magic, and you heard the warning. If we are to get this done we need to be prepared, smarter, and more equipped than her", I said to them seriously.
"I have a plan, listen. I can do a mange where I can look like Sean. It lasts for some hours. We go in, give her a fake Locket and leave. Just in case she notices that the Locket is safe then, we get ready to fight, so just examine how many people are there, I'm sure we can take them down together", Davina informed us.
"I like it, Sean, what do you think?"
"I like it too, I will drive you there and if you need anything, just mind link me", Sean said.
"It is settled then. How do we make a fake Locket?", I asked Davina, but she already brought out one from her pocket.
Made it when you were on the call with Elowen earlier.
"Alright let's go then," I said, and we all left to go bring Victoria back home.
Back to present
"Thank you, Davina, I owe you one I suppose, and your plan was the best", I thanked Davina sincerely.
"It's my pleasure, Alpha Lincoln", she responded with a smile.
"What do we do with the Lockets then?", I asked Davina, and she suggested that we both it back in the Eclipsed Sanctuary and seal it off.
I agreed with her.
We were about to go to the chamber and perform the incantation again when a scream came from the dining, and we rushed to check out what had happened.
"Something is wrong", Montana said, with fear in her eyes, "Victoria just tried to stab me with that fork, I have just a scratch, but something is wrong with her", Montana explained briefly.
And when Victoria stared at me, Sean, and Davina, her eyes were red as if they were bleeding, but the blood was not running out.
I tried talking to Victoria, but she launched at me, aiming for a kill, "HOLD HER DOWN!", Davina's loud voice boomed through the room, and immediately I held her down from one side and Sean did the same from the other side.
Still, Victoria kept growling and fighting, wanting to get up, it was a bit hard holding her down, something was definitely wrong with her.
Davina walked up to us, grabbed Victoria's hand, and pulled her long sleeves up.
Davina let out a breath, "I knew it. She has been cursed."
"What do you mean?", I asked Davina, not understanding, "Cursed? But how?"
"The witch, you remember the words she was muttering?", Davina asked me and I nodded.
"Yes, I do remember."
"What Elowen did was curse Rebekah, I did not understand it at first, but now I knew what she was saying. It is a dark magic that the witch bound on Victoria's hand, a cursed charm", Davina explained, "So this charm that's bound to Victoria's hand is aimed to cause her intense pain and also allow the witch to manipulate Victoria's actions."
"But the witch is dead", I said.
"She may have been able to channel something into Victoria's body before I killed her", Davina explained.
"Okay okay, what next now?", I asked as Victoria tried to bite me, but I pushed her down to the table, Sean and I held her down.
"Just keep her down, I know what to do", Davina said and then turned to Montana, "Please Luna get me a small knife, sharp too", she said to Montana.
Montana wastes no time as she runs to the kitchen to get a knife, she comes back in seconds and hands that knife to Davina.
Davina wasted no time and soon was on the ground, the knife in her hands as she chanted while holding the knife.
"Davina, you are bleeding", I sighted it and called out to her, but there was no response, before we knew it, Davina fell to the ground, blood coming out from her nose.
I had no idea what was happening, "Montana, quickly check on her, if she is still breathing", I ordered while still holding a struggling Victoria down.
Montana rushed to Davina, I could see her hands vibrate as she checked Davina's pulse and breathing, "She is alive."
"Oh, thank Goddess", I exclaimed relieved, "Now, listen to me Montana, I need you to go and get alcohol and a towel or something, Go Go Go."
Montana knew where alcohol was going, and Victoria kept snapping at Sean and me, growling and pulling.
One minute later, Montana was back, I did not have to tell her what to do as she knelt in front of Davina.
Montana then opened the alcohol and she poured some on the towel and proceeded to bring it close to Davina's face.
After some minutes it worked, Davina woke up quickly, and immediately her eyes opened, she was already reciting her incantations, with the knife in her hand, "I need to Channel someone", Davina said and Montana quickly offered her hand.
"Do it", Montana said and Davina grasped Montana's hand, while the knife was in her other hand as she started reciting again, her voice louder than I have ever heard and stronger.
"Da lunaris lumine et umbrae saltuoso,
Lanceam hanc imbuat mystico cantu", Davina recited while Montana's eyes became closed and suddenly Montana was also saying the same thing as Davina.
"Perfode tenebras, vinculum enervare,
Solve magicae manus, sinat volare", They both chanted together up to three times and soon when it was done, Davina quickly got up and gave me the knife.
I took the knife from Davina and waited for her instruction as she said,
"Cut it out!"
