Power awakening herb...1

~~ INSIDE THE FOREST ~~

Grunting of painful sounds could be heard inside Old Man Chen's hut, Kimberly could be seen in a meditation posture as she sat in a dark liquid inside a wooden bathtub. Her eyes were tightly closed with beads of sweat all over her face and body, it seems she is in a hypnotic state.

Pain.... pain was the only thing that runs through her right this minute as she kept muttering spells that sounded strange to old man Chen, who was sitting beside her. He has been observing her for many hours from when she passed out and all of a sudden began muttering some spells.

"Etos guru.."

"Lumes lantera.."

"Agote diumen luma debutes.."

"Santeres ahonia.."

Kimberly kept muttering in her deep sleep.

She is undergoing the ritual of the power awakening herb...

Yes... the power awakening herb, the herb they found the other day!

After they found the herb that evening, old man Chen prepared the materials for the ritual the following day and here they are. 

Kimberly has been inside the dark liquid for straight twelve hours and fourth- five minutes and it was getting Old man Chen worried. He is beginning to regret why he'd prepared for it in the first place.

It was said that any person wishing to undergo the ritual of the power awakening herb must be mentally and emotionally prepared, else the herb will absorb the person's soul and leave him or her powerless forever.

But however...

One thing was confusing to old man Chen who kept staring at the young lady in front of him, who seems to be in a deep sleep. It was a known fact that the power awakening herb is the strongest herb of all times. No supernatural being can hold out to its density when immersed inside its solution for thirty minutes as the maximum time.

But..

The young lady in front of him held out to the power awakening herb for two straight hours before she passed out!

Just who is this young lady?!

Old man Chen kept observing Kimberly as she kept muttering the strange spells and all of a sudden, Kimberly's eyes opened. 

But...

Her orbs where no where in them. Her eyes was plain white without her orbs and it was like as if she was blind. All of a sudden, her eyes began glowing 

Instantly, everything that was inside the hut at that moment began shaking vigorously.

At that moment..., Kimberly growled in pain.

"I swear to you, just pray I don't survive or get reincarnated after all of this..!"

"because if I do...! am going to make sure that I make all of you pay for this...!"

"this is not a mere threats. It's a promise!"

With that, the dark liquid she was soaked in turned into an ordinary water filled with herb leaves, signifying that the ritual has been completed. 

At that moment, Kimberly's eyes went back to normal and she passed out again..

~~ COUNTRY M, ELDER WILLIAMS'S HOUSE ~~

Antonia was fast asleep on the bed when Williams strode into the room lazily. His eyes went to her legs which were bare to his eyes. She was just in her nightie and she looked undoubtedly sexy.

Williams licked his lips lustfully as he stared at her, then slowly he made a move which he suddenly halted when he heard his phone blaring loudly.

He nearly cussed walking to the bedside table where the phone was. He took his phone and picked the call.

"And why the hell are you calling me by this time of the day..?"He asked irritatedly with a frown.

"Our plan was carried out successfully.."a voice from the phone said.

"Really..? Are you sure..?" Williams asked, his frown dissolving into a smirk.

"Yes, he fell for it and acted as expected.." the voice said earning a scoff from Williams.

"Good then, no need for plan B.., I will call you tomorrow morning.." Williams said.

He ended the call with a devilish grin on his face. The news he heard pleased his mood, no doubt.

"Is everything okay?" Antonia's soft voice rang in the room and his attention went to her. She'd woken up when the phone blared.

Seeing her, Williams suddenly felt hōrny and he started taking slow steps towards her.

"What... What are you doing?" Antonia stuttered in fear when he got on the bed. In a swift motion, he dragged her closer to himself and made her lay on the bed while he got on top of her.

"Williams.., please! Not tonight, I'm still sore!" Antonia cried under him, struggling to push him away and a slap from him made her stop abruptly. She stopped struggling with him as tears rolled down her cheek which was already red from the slap.

"Don't you dare refuse me..! I'm your husband! I own each and every part of you..! Every fucking part of you Tonia..!" Williams yelled in anger and she trembled, breaking down in tears but that didn't move him.

Instead, his hand went under her nightie, he tore it off and roughly spread her legs apart. As he got himself ready to penetrate inside her, Antonia laid there, not bothering to struggle with him. 

She laid motionlessly, crying her eyes out. This was how it had always been, him forcing himself on her brutally, but hitting her as though she were a punching bag was what Antonia still couldn't understand.

Truly, Williams was short tempered but he hardly lays a finger on her but these days...

Without any warning, Williams plugged himself forcefully inside her and a shrill cry of pain escaped Antonia's lips. She was still sore as she hadn't recovered from the previous night's own and now this...

"Slowly please! You are hurting me..!" She cried as he began thrusting his manhood inside her, going at a very fast pace.

His hand went to her breast, he gave it a rough hard squeeze which left Antonia's lips in a gasp and her body trembled. He moved to her nipples and he pinched a roughly, not going easy a bit. 

Her pleas fell on deaf ears and he went harder, hitting her walls mercilessly.

All through this, Antonia laid there with tears streaming down her cheeks. He was treating her as though she were a piece of trash, a trash that's meant to be used anytime... Anyhow.

~~ COUNTRY Z, ROMAN'S MANSION ~~

Not long after Alex hung up the call, Roman could be seen in the big living room holding a glass of tequila in his hand. His upper body was shirtless, his hair messy and his eyes were so red.

His red eyes showed nothing other than darkness as he sat drinking away his pains. He could feel darkness enveloping his life slowly as the only source of his happiness chose to stay away from him for no reason. 

What did he do in his past life that the moon goddess would give him this painful fate..? Roman thought.

Ever since he left Camilla's place, he hadn't been himself. He was a man, but when it comes to not just his woman but his mate.. he wouldn't hesitate to break down. 

And the worst part of it all was that even thou their relationship haven't been for long time, she's literally everywhere in his mind. Her images are everywhere, as if they were engraved in his mind. He actually left his room as he wouldn't stop hallucinating about her. 

He even imagined her in his shirt, looking beautiful as she had always been.

He shook his head, chasing the thoughts away. He had loved her way too much that's why this had to hurt so much. Or was it the mate bond..? 

However...

He needs to stop now, he should learn how to live without her. Yes, that's what she'd said she wanted.

Slowly, he got to his feet and dropped the glass cup, then he walked to his room.

As soon as Roman stepped his foot inside his room. His eyes caught Camilla as she slowly walked out of his walk in closet. She was in his red shirt, his favorite to be precise as she shouldn't stop wiggling her waist cutely.

"Babe.." he whispered before he could stop himself. Camilla turned and flashed the cutest smile to him ever, showcasing her one sided dimple.

"How do I look..?" She asked with a smile. Not getting a reply, she frowned and he released a chuckle unknowingly.

"I know it's your favorite.. that's why I took it before asking.., so do you mind sharing it with me..?" Camilla asked with a pout. Roman didn't know when tears welled up in his eyes. 

"Cam.."he blurted out and Camilla flashed him a beautiful smile, taking her lower lip in.

Roman couldn't take it anymore. The urge to take her into his arms, holding her tight and never letting her go overwhelmed him and he found his legs inching closer to where she stood.

But, as soon as he got there, her body vanished into thin air. Then, reality dawned on him... 

She's gone.

Tears rolled down his eyes uncontrollably and he didn't bother to hold it in. He wholeheartedly let it all out, he was hurt, his heart was breaking...

"I-I can't... I can't live without you Cam.." he muttered in between sobs shaking his head vehemently. 

Looking at him now, no one would believe it's the same Roman Lu, the famous playboy in Country Z as of few months ago.

He's heart broken, he's hurt...

******

~~ CAMILLA'S PLACE ~~

At that same time...

Soft sobs filled the whole room as Camilla buried herself under the duvet. Her face was soaking wet with her tears, she had been crying non stop after Roman had left the house in anger.

Constant guilt wrapped Camilla's heart, she couldn't think straight. She's been pacing round the room all night, spacing out at intervals. She took her phone and dialed Roman's number, but before it could go through she cut it off.

She had thought she'd be fine, but no! She wasn't! She was in great pain, she loved Roman so much than anything in the world and staying away from him was excruciatingly painful, it hurts to the core.

"I can't.., I-I can't.."she choked on her tears, crying loudly.

"I.. I can't do it... I can't stay away," she whimpered. She looked really pitiful now. The once cheerful Camilla was in no way compared to this. 

It would have been better if he wasn't mad at her, but he now is..!

The one thing she hates most was Roman raising his voice and getting mad at her, she just wouldn't take it. 

"Roman... I can't stay away.." she kept sobbing till she slowly slept off.
