The following day.
The couple bid goodbye to their benefactor and savior.
Zero addressed Ebony and Anastasia. "Thank you so much, ladies for saving my life! I appreciated it very much from the bottom of my heart. If one day we shall meet again and you will need my help, I will never hesitate to extend my help to you. Once again, thank you so much!" he said in a grateful voice.
Ebony smiled. "Don't mention it. Anastasia and I were glad to help you in anyway we can. Likewise if you need our expertise again, we are are willing to extend the same help to you in the future," she replied.
Zero smiled. "Thank you!"
It's now time for Nini to say what's on her mind. "Thank you, girls! You're so kind and supportive to me during these past few days that I'm really down in spirit. You lift me up and cheer me during my darkest moment when my husband's life is hanging by a thread. You're amazing people! It's my fortune that I met such kind people like you in my life. Once again, thank you very much for allowing us to stay here and welcome us like were a family member. I'm forever grateful for your help and generosity," she said and gave each woman a quick hug as a sign of her appreciation.
Ebony patted Nini's back, her brows knitted together. "You take care of your health... there's something not right with your body," she commented.
Menedelia, Zero, and Nini looked at each other.
Menedelia addressed everyone. "Alright, we're leaving now. Everyone will meet again soon before the world ends," she joked.
Anastasia snickered.
The rest laughed with the seemingly obscure joke.
Time to leave.
The trio vanished from the living room, teleporting themselves back into the Helix Vanguard Clan's vast property.
A moment later.
They landed in the living room.
Tony, Evelyn, and Aron were waiting patiently for the couple's arrival.
The mother and daughter hugged each other.
"Mom, I'm scared... I thought my husband will die in my hands!" Nini said, breaking down in her mother's arms. She still can't get over the guilt of trying to kill her husband on the eve of their wedding day.
"Shh... calm down... it's okay... he's safe now. It's never your fault, you're manipulated by an evil being," Evelyn said, trying to console her daughter. "Let's go upstairs, so that we can talk and you can take your rest," she said.
The women climbed the stairs.
Tony looked at his son-in-law and inspected his body. "You're okay, son?"
"I hope you're no longer in pain, bro," Aron said.
Zero grinned. "Ah, there will be scars for sure but I considered them as love tokens from my wife," he said cheekily to liven up the gloomy atmosphere and put everyone at ease.
They all laughed at Zero's joke.
Tony patted his back. "I never regretted choosing you as my daughter's husband. You're simply wort it!" he said and lowered himself on the couch.
Zero seated himself. "Um...I'm deeply sorry about Angela..." he said. "I'll help you find her," he offered his service.
"Thanks, son! Right now, I need all the help I can get because there is no lead so far. Me and my men are still trying to figure out where that mysterious guy hides Angela..." he said in despair.
Silence engulfed the men for a moment.
Meanwhile...
Upstairs, at Nini's room.
Teary-eyed, Evelyn looked at her daughter sleeping peacefully in the bed.
Menedelia recalled the mother and daughter's heartbreaking scene earlier when they were discussing Angela, their cries were deafening.
Evelyn released a deep sigh, she looked at Menedelia. "Granny, let's go to the terrace. I need to breath some fresh air," she said.
The women left Nini's room and went to the terrace. They lowered themselves on the couch and enjoyed the windy atmosphere.
Evelyn looked at her companion. "My husband already give me permission to travel tomorrow. I told him that I will be gone for a week to visit my parents house," she said.
"What time tomorrow?" Menedelia asked.
"Wait for me at the town plaza in front of the church, I will pick you up there at 2:00 in the afternoon," Evelyn said.
Menedelia nodded her head and replied, "Okay, see you there tomorrow."
Silence engulfed them for a moment.
"Um... can I take my leave now, my lady? I have to do some preparation for our mission," Menedelia asked.
"Yeah, you can leave now, but don't forget to return later, before 6:00 for dinner," Evelyn reminded her.
"Okay, see you later, my lady!" Menedelia said. "I'll take my leave now."
Menedelia left the terrace and teleported back to the forest.
When she appeared inside the hut and went to Rebecca's room, the pregnant woman was sleeping soundly in the bed.
She went to her room.
Inside the room.
She went to the wooden cabinet and removed the candles, and placed them on the table.
She stared at the candles for a long time. They have their uses. Since she's not that powerful yet, she will need Rebecca's help.
She put the three candles in position, creating a triangle. Then she put the biggest candle in the center. She put the rest of the candles back in the closet and picked up a pen and piece of paper from the drawer of the table.
She wrote down the spells to make it easier for Rebecca to recite.
Done, she placed the candle on the top of the paper so that it won't fly away. She left the house to buy things from the market which are needed for the ritual.
One hour later.
