Immortal Desire
Chapter 34

Latina was speechless, not sure of what to say, she drifted her eyes elsewhere.

“Wait, you just said that this Marco kid died eight years ago and never left your village even once. Are you sure that Latina came and drank his b***d while he was still kicking?” Azrene asked, confused.

“Tsk, honestly we need to leave as soon as possible.”

“You’re avoiding the question now!” Latina unconsciously covered her hand on Azrene’s mouth. Wrapping her arm around Azrene’s waist, she lifted her without getting rid of her hand on the girl’s lips. She gave a signal to the boy to lead the way.

“Stop struggling,” Latina whispered to Azrene’s ears. The latter nodded her head. “Let me carry you until we reach the village. It’s safer to leave fewer traces.”

“Quick,” the boy flicked his head to the side. There was a giant tree with beautiful orange leaves sparkling in the moonlight. It stood out among the other trees in the forest because of its mystical beauty. The boy stepped on its roots and his foot disappeared. Not literally, but Latina and Azrene could no longer see it while the rest of his body parts remained visible.

“It’s the entrance to the village. Once you step inside, no one from the outside world could tell your whereabouts. We usually don’t allow outsiders to know about this place. Since the village head ordered us to show the way, we need to comply,” the boy said before vanishing.

Latina put Azrene down, their jaws dropped. They stared at each other, then the tree, then to each other again and then the tree once again. The ladies were thrilled but scared at the same time. Latina did the first move, she raised her hand and pushed the tree bark. “Wow,” she muttered when her hand went through.

“Amazing,” Azrene said, amused.

“What’s taking you so long?” the boy asked, popping his head out of the tree trunk. “Didn’t you hear that? Beasts are coming, hurry up inside.” He pulled their hands to drag them inside.

“Aw,” the ladies said at the same time. They both rubbed their faces after hitting it on the ground.

“My bad,” the boy said and walked ahead. He stopped after a few steps and sat under the tree, pulling his knee up and placing his elbow on it. He leaned his head on his hand and watched the ladies’ dumbfounded faces. “You can yell all you want now shorty, no one from the outside could hear you from here,” he said, referring to Azrene who wouldn’t stop wailing earlier. He looked away when Latina held her face.

Latina frowned, “Aren’t we just still in the forest?” she asked. Nothing has changed other than the fact that the trees were lined up. Like when they were planted at a specific distance from each other, making them look neat.

“We are in the witch’s forest,” Azrene replied. She pulled herself up before helping Latina.

“How knowledgeable you are,” a soft and gentle voice said from behind. A pretty woman with beautiful dark skin and long silver hair stood beside the huge metal gate. “I’ve been watching you ever since you came out from the tunnel,” she laughed. “I didn’t expect that you’ll come with a companion, I could have asked the boys to widen the hole in the exit. Must be tough for you to sprout out from that narrow hole,” she continued. The sweet smile never leaves her lips.

‘So pretty,’ Latina thought. Her eyes locked on the beautiful lady’s bright orbs. They stared at each other for quite a while. The lady pulled away from her gaze first. Latina’s presence was too much for her to handle.

“Okay, we were told to follow this rude kiddo. We did, after getting through that large tree which was the ‘gate’, we hit our faces on the ground, saw strange trees and now, talking to this dark lady with a much prettier face than me but way behind Latina’s. I know right, she’s the best but whatever. Can anyone please tell me what’s going on?” Azrene ranted, almost nonstop.

“She really started to nag,” the boy whispered but the ladies heard it. He raised his hands, palms wide open. “Just saying… by the way you can also yell or cry. We’ll try not to complain,” he said, looking at the fuming girl. “No wonder Fran volunteered to go back first. He knew that this girl would make use of her mouth. I’ll take a nap while waiting for the old hag. Kindly take care of these royal brats, Sheila.”

“You!” Azrene clenched her fists, glaring at the boy who just looked at her with his smug face.

“You shouldn’t treat girls like this Fred,” Sheila, the beautiful black lady and also the village chief’s daughter, responded. “Don’t worry young miss, I’ll make sure to get this boy an earful scolding later.”

Azrene said nothing but pout. Latina smiled since the girl finally learned how to keep quiet for a bit.

“What’s going on?” Latina asked when a humongous mirror appeared in front of them. She saw Fred, the boy who bickered with Azrene, stood on his feet and walked closer. His eyes landed on the said mirror.

Sheila did the same. She stared at her reflection, smiling at the others when she noticed them looking at her.

A few moments later, loud howls could be heard, echoing in the woods followed by g****s and cries. An image in the glass appeared. A pack of beasts was pouncing on the old woman only to be blown away from her with wounds she provided.

Sheila remained calm and so the boy. Azrene, on the other hand, was watching intently as to how the old geezer severed her kind.

Latina was stunned. ‘She defeated them without a single move,’ she thought. “Witch huh… What a terrifying creature,” she mumbled. Her eyes glowed as she watched the old witch. She felt something drilling from the inside of her head.

‘What a bother. No matter how hard I try to remember…after observing this old woman’s face…my memories seemed achievable at one point and would drastically go back to nothing.’ Latina thought to herself. She wished her subconscious would appear and give her answers, even if they’re all inaccurate…or not.
