RECOMMENDED SONG: **Holding On By lann Dior**

"I want to try calling Oz and Osiris," Scarlet said directing her fingers and Emerald gestured her to go a bead while he was still driving. They were just about to enter the territory of Riverstone Town when Scarlet closed her eyes and called Oz and Osiris. She repeated it three times, but nothing happened.

Slumping her shoulders, Scarlet felt disheartened and looked pit of the window. She didn't succeed in calling either of them as she got no replies. Emerald squeezed her hands and was just about to assure her when he suddenly cursed and applied brakes making the tires screech over asphalt.

"F**k."

Taking a moment, he composed himself and asked Scarlet inspecting her body for any injuries,

"Are you okay? Something just came in..." Emerald was still saying something when Scarlet rushed out of the car ignoring his words and collided with a giant, white, magnificent uniform standing in front of their car.

"OZ..." Scarlet shrieked in happiness and Emerald turned stupefied. Oz snuggled into her figure and narrowed his eyes at Emerald who just exited the car with a smile. Scarlet noticed the thick air and patted Oz's back introducing him,

"Oz, he is Emerald, the Alpha of Crescent Moon Pack and my Mate, and Emmy, he is Oz." Oz kept on darting his glares at Emerald while Emerald just smiled whispering,

"So, Oz is a unicorn!"

"Yes, you have any problems with that?" Oz yelled out and took Emerald off guard.

"He can even talk? Great." Emerald asked and answered his question. Oz ignored him and asked Scarlet,

"Hop on, Tity. I will drop you." He said the words looking at Emerald who glanced at Scarlet. The girl assured him and she and Oz disappear when Oz flapped his giant wings.

'Oz is a unicorn. He can talk. He can fly. Moon Goddess, what else am I going to witness!' Emerald kicked the imaginary stones in the air and hopped in his car heading to Riverstone Town.

Oz stopped at Scarlet's terrace and left understanding,

"I know. You don't have to say anything. Just call me when you need me. I am nearby, Tity." Scarlet smiled looking at his disappearing figure when Shala said from behind,

"He still loves you the most." Scarlet and Shala's attention was diverted when Emerald honked his horn witnessing flying Oz and entered the house. Jessica was cooking breakfast while Bob was all set to leave for the hospital when Emerald greeted them both. "Son-in-law! Come, come, join us." Jessica made Emerald sit down for breakfast and soon Shala and Scarlet joined too. In the middle of eating, Bob asked,

"Where were you last night?" His tone was serious. He didn't look at anyone, but Scarlet was aware that he was talking to her. She was going to speak when Emerald butted in,

"She was with me, Dad. We went for a date." Jessica smiled and Bob asked, this time looking at Emerald,

"What kind of date in Morvin Hills?" Scarlet and Jessica gasped hearing him. The question that worried Scarlet was how did bee father know about this. She turned and found Shala enjoying his breakfast. Old man! She gave Shala a-you- sold-me-out, Grandpa- look. But he kept focused.

"Dad, I..."

"I was going to tell you about Ginevra," Bob said and Jessica squeezed his hand.

"Grandpa Shala told us to go there. We didn't want to visit. Say it, old man." Scarlet elbowed Shala and he laughed out sheepishly. Everyone ate silently. Bob was about to leave when he called and hugged Scarlet whispering,

"Just Don't Die, Baby," in her ears a left wiping his tears. Behind her was standing Jessica with teary eyes. Scarlet immediately wrapped her in a tight hug,

"Mom, I am your daughter. You nurtured me, loved, cared for me, and made me what I am today. A strong woman. I am only your child." Jessica nodded, but she knew Ginevra was Scarlet's birth mother.

"But, Ginevra...."

"She is mother. You are mom." Scarlet cut Jessica in the middle and kissed her forehead.

"Come back to me. I will cook your favorite dishes." Jessica said stroking her daughter's hair and Scarlet beamed leaving for her room to check out the things before leaving.

While Scarlet was on the stairs, Shala passed close to her suggesting,

"Leave for WEREALM. Osiris will be coming to you shortly."

Jessica was still standing at the same spot when Emerald took her in a hug,

"Don't worry, Mom. She is a Queen, a fighter, a warrior. This is her war. We can only help her and strengthen her. She will come back to us. I assure you."

Scarlet was rummaging in her books when she heard someone calling her. She turned around and found no one. Stressed and no sleep. She seasoned and buses herself again. But the same voice again called her. She turned and warned, "Whosoever you are, show yourself, NOW." Her tone was authoritative. The man immediately appeared in front of her eyes. He looked from the time when she was born as Estella.

"Who are you? Why are you here? What do you want?" She asked all the questions in one go.

"I am a snake-charmer from your second life, Queen Sedna. I am here to help you. And I want your help in return." The man answered briefly after bowing down.

"I am not a snake anymore." She refused and started shuffling the books again.

"I know. But only you can help me." The man was determined.

"How?" Scarlet asked.

"By killing Evanora. I am stuck in the mortal world. She killed me back then and trapped my soul. Once she is dead, I will be free." The man said.

"I will do it either way. You don't have to ask me for help." Scarlet said and featured him to leave.

"But you have to be alive for that." The man reasoned. His words caught her attention and she took a spot over her bed.

"Shoot everything." She ordered.

"Queen Sedna, The witch Evanora had made a weapon out of your shreds. She needs your powers. She wants to rule the world. This war, the Heavenly book theft...everything is an illusion. The real motive is to kill Emerald." The man said and Scarlet turned alert immediately.

"she doesn't want to kill you. She must kill Emerald. When he is dead, you will be weakest. She will take advantage of that moment and seize all your powers."

"I can talk to her privately. We still have time left." Scarlet reasoned.

"No. Not possible. How would you explain that to the werewolves, the mermaids, the witches, the dream-catchers, and all those who are ready to fight with you? You can't explain them. Besides, killing this witch is going to help everyone. But you can't kill her with your powers only." The man said and took two steps towards Scarlet.

"Then?" She asked, her gaze wavering.

"Sedna, The Heavenly Book is back in the Fairy Land. Evanora had cast that dagger into the weapon using her spells and fusing it with the first rays of the sun, smearing with Gold. Why?" The man asked Scarlet.

"You can't be killed with Gold. Then, who?" He asked and the realization hit hard Scarlet.

"Emerald! She will kill him with the Gold studded weapon. The weapon is made from my living remains. It will eradicate his soul. She wants to kill him!" Scarlet said and the man nodded.

"But she can be killed with the same weapon. For that, you must risk your life." He said.

"How?" Currently, Scarlet didn't want to think about the consequences. She just wanted to save Emerald and kill Evanora.

"By blocking the attack. When Evanora will attack Emerald, you must block the attack using your powers, air, fire, blood, and moonlight. The weapon will pierce through all of them and will hit you. Once smeared in your blood and all those elements, it can kill her. At that time, even her being the Crowned Witch wouldn't be of any help."

Scarlet looked at the man. He wants to lie. Why would he? She had already looked through his soul. Thanks to being supernatural. He assured her to kill that witch.

'To f**k with her being Crowned Witch. I will crush her under my feet.' Scarlet burned with fury. She knew if she blocked the attack, she was only going to be dead. But she would kill Evanora too. She would never die alone.

"The weapon after passing through all those elements will be deadly for Evanora." The man repeated his words and Emerald entered at that time asking,

"Who are you now?" Before the man could say anything, Scarlet gestured him to stop and instead told Emerald that he was here to help them and she called him.

"The same weapon will kill her if passed through her heart. You need to drive the weapon through her heart and then pluck out her heart when it is bleeding. Her soul will be shattered into pieces and only one piece will be left in the world, in that beating heart." Emerald looked at the man for further explanation. In no way, they were going to let Evanora's soul stay in the mortal world. Even if it was just a piece.

"The piece can't be destroyed. You must destroy her heart. Do anything, but destroy it while it is still beating. Only then she will be eradicated." The man said and disappeared after bowing.

"I will feed her heart to the wolves." Scarlet fumed and planned to kill Evanora, protect Emerald, and leave her be sacrificed for their love dragging Emerald with her leaving for WEREALM.
