What can I do?

Tobin looked confused on what he just heard. He didn't know what a shrine was but he understood that Naomi was being falsely accused for his change in behavior. He wonders what will be done in the family shrine.

"What should we do? Calvin asked asif ready to disobey Elder Zeko's orders if Tobin would give his consent to it.

Tobin looked at Naomi and for the second time noticed the look of fear on her face. It was the same look she had when Elder Zeko asked her to leave his room then. She didn't know what to say at the moment.

"What do you want us to do? Tobin asked turning the question to Naomi who never expected he would be asking her for her opinion. It was just like what Grace had asked earlier if it was possible that she had manipulated him. If Grace could think of that question then she was sure others would be thinking the same way. But what was she to do right now. She knew she would not be given a fair hearing unless someone stands firmly on her side. Running away wasn't an option because a locator spell from elder Zeko would be able to locate them easily.

" I think we should go back, we cannot run forever besides I am innocent of whatever they are accusing me of " Naomi finally replied after thinking for a while

Tobin decided they go back with the carriage instead of their feet as he wanted to experience riding on it. He didn't know what to expect when they go back but he concluded in his heart he would not allow her suffer.

As they got into the mansion some male servants immediately came to sieze Naomi by holding her hands on both sides.

"What's the meaning if that nonsense? Will you take your hands off her? Tobin yelled at them.

They quickly removed their hands but stood very close to her asif she would want to run away.

"Sorry my Lord, we were only acting under the orders we were given by Elder Zeko to bring her to the shrine " one if the guard replied with his head bowed.

"Don't you dare place your hand on her again, you can follow his orders without touching her " He half yelled this time knowing it was his father who gave the order.

The servants led Naomi to that shrine with Tobin following behind. He noticed they walked to an extent that even Calvin had to stop following them.

"Why are you stopping? He asked looking at Calvin who he expected to be like a support for him.

"My Lord I can't go further than this, the family shrine is meant for members if the family and the servants that work inside the shrine " Calvin replied with a worried look on his face.He looked over at Naomi to see the fear in her eyes have increased

Tobin wondered what kind of shrine would be so sacred even inside the mansion. They walked in circles around the mansion till they got to a door that looked like the one he saw in his house in his world.

Without touching the door, he noticed the first servant walked through the door asif there was no door there. Tobin immediately began sweating, as he knew if he wants to follow her he would have to pass through but then he had no magic to pass through like that.

"I will stay outside for a while, I don't want my father to have funny ideas about us" Tobin whispered to Naomi who was hanging all her hopes on him befor she also passed through the door with the second servant easily. He noticed the look of disappointment on the eye of Naomi but there was nothing he could do. At least they would not be expecting him to immediately come in.

After they passed he tried to do the same thing they did but as he expected he was unable to do so. He tried to open the door using the knob but he was unable to do so.

He waited patiently at the door while expecting that nothing bad would happen to Naomi. He knew she was hoping on him to stand for her as a back bone but right he was limited unless someone opens the door for him.

He heard a scream from inside the shrine that sent shivers through his body. . He could tell that was the voice of Naomi.

"What are they doing to her? What could be wrong? He asked himself as he paced around the door wondering what he could do to help her.

But what if entering the shrine would be dangerous for him since he didn't have magic? He asked himself.

He mentally scolded himself. He knew she was being punished because he agreed to change worlds with that Harold of a guy and as such he could not stay behind and continue to hear her suffer. He must do something. But what he do?
