Chapter 68
Andre quickly got off the bike, as the road ahead had nails and bottles. He guessed that the evil lady must have done it on purpose. His phone rang and he answered.
“I’m nearby!”
“I know. Just come to the highest floor of the warehouse in 3 minutes or she’ll be DEAD!” replied the owner of the creepy voice.
“Please, I’ll come over now. Don’t do anything to her,” he said as he started running along the path that led to the warehouse.
The line went off and he quickly placed his phone back in his pocket and increased his running pace. He had to get there in time. He had to!
He finally reached the highest floor of this warehouse. He panted as he looked around to see no one.
His phone rang and he answered the call.
“Hello, ma’am. I’m here now. Where can I find you?” he asked in agitation.
“You wanna find me or us?”
“You two. Where are you guys?”
“Hehe! You’re sure you wanna know?”
“Please, tell me. Whatever it is you want, I’ll give it to you. Just don’t harm her, ok?”
“Get into the sea. We’re waiting for you there!” the line went off again.
Andre became gloomy. She wanted him to get in the water? Do phones work underwater? Who does she wanna fool? The key problem is that this mysterious evil lady seems to love me torturing him like this.
He called Annabelle’s number again, but no one picked. He sighed in defeat.
“I should really get into the water then.”
He jumped from that high point and landed on the ground.
His feet hurt a little from the impact, but there was no time to waste.
He placed his phone on a rock and took off his upper attire.
He then ran towards the sea and on reaching the seashore, he saw Annabelle (in her siren form) seated on a protruding large rock with a veiled lady standing behind her. She’s quite tall and her golden gown embroidered with green thread, fluttered with the wind.
Annabelle’s hands were tied behind her back and there was a neck shackle on her neck. Her hair had been cut short; it was now above her neck. Her mouth was taped and there were several injuries on her skin. Even her tail was bleeding.
And since in her merform, her long hair served as a covering for her melons, now that it was cut short, her melons were exposed.
He would have wanted to look away, but not in this situation. He faced the veiled figure instead.
“Lad, get into the water now.” the veiled lady’s voice was heard by him loud and clear, though they were far away from him.
Annabelle, who was barely breathing, slowly shook her head.
Andre gritted his teeth. His fists clenched.
“Don’t make me repeat myself.” spat the lady as she pulled on the chains adjoined to the shackle around Annabelle’s neck.
She began to choke. Tears flowed down her eyes and formed pearls before falling into the seawater.
Incensed, Andre walked into the water and when it was deep enough, he dived in.
A transparent shield appeared around him as his clothes vanished.
His hair changed to a fiery red that was fluttering.
Patches of draconic scales appeared on his forehead, cheeks, neck, back, around his navel and his legs. His eyes turned golden and his canines extended.
He stretched his hand forward and the shield surrounding him started moving fast towards the rock where the two ladies were.
On getting there, he surfaced and saw that the lady had taken off her black veil. He saw patches of snake scales on her face. Her eyes were red with a black slit in the middle.
‘This lady’s a snake?’ he thought in disbelief.
“Do you not recognize me, Andre?” she asked. This time, her voice wasn’t creepy anymore. It was just too coquettish.
“I don’t know you.” he stated.
“Do you remember the girl back at university whom you kissed in the library?” she asked.
“I… That was an accident. Are you her relative?” he asked. He didn’t want to believe he kissed a serpent’s relative.
“No. I’m her. I’m Seline Hunter,” she introduced.
His eyes widened. He actually kissed a snake? Gosh!
“Look, Seline, whatever happened was an accident. I didn’t have that in mind. Before then I’ve never seen you and even after that accident we didn’t see each other. If you’re mad at me, just come at me. Why target Annabelle?”
“Because she’s the one you spent time with. She stole you from me.”
“She’s my friend. Friend! You get it?”
“Does that mean I can be your girlfriend?” she asked hopefully, her eyes twinkling.
Andre shook his head. How would he dare? Annabelle was a million times better.
“You’d better choose quickly. Become my boyfriend or she’ll die.” Seline pulled on the chains of the neck shackle and Anna started to struggle. If her hands weren’t tied at her back, she’d be pulling on the chains with her hands by now.
Seeing this, Andre gritted his teeth and created two fireballs that levitated above his hands. He merged the two fireballs until they became one large fireball and he launched it at her, but before it could reach her, it was extinguished.
“My dear Andre, you think you can beat me? You’re just too weak. That’s why I referred to you as ‘Lad’.” she said in disdain. She stretched out her right free hand and the seawater started to freeze. Annabelle and Andre were shocked.
This Seline was a higher level snake!Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
‘Heaven, what sort of temptation is this? Why my girl has to suffer coz of my one mistake?’ he lamented in his heart.
He couldn’t get out of the water. His shield was also destroyed as it couldn’t stand the ice.
Now he was frozen from belly down. He felt a great chill inside.
This was a horrible thing for him. He hugged himself as his shoulders trembled; his teeth shattered.
“See what a pitiable condition you are in? Have you changed your mind now?” she asked, with a bossy attitude.
Andre shook his head and looked at Annabelle. Realizing again that her melons were exposed, he looked back at Seline instead.
“Are you unsatisfied with her melons? Why, aren’t they round enough? See, her pink n*pples are quite long and look soft. You can even put your cock in between these huge melons.
“Please stop talking,” Andre said with gritted teeth. This one sentence seemed to sap all his energy.
“Oh, you’re telling me to shut up?”
Her eyes glowed and the ice started climbing up to his neck.
The glow in his eyes dimmed.
His face has become very pale and his lips turned blue.
“I give you another chance…”
He shook his head and she pulled hard on the chain of the neck shackle. Annabelle was in great pain.’She doesn’t deserve this. It’s all my fault,’ he said in his heart. If only he was more powerful… then he could protect her from any harm. If only he wasn’t weak, she wouldn’t be suffering like this- stripped of her covering in merform and constantly humiliated.
“3… 2…” she had begun counting.
“I.. I agree. Please, just let her go.” he compromised.
The ice turned back to chilly water. His shield appeared again as he approached the rock.
He could see that many of Annabelle’s scales had been pulled out. He couldn’t imagine what pain she had gone through before he got here. Once, when he accidentally pulled on one of her tail’s scales, she nearly cried and didn’t talk to him for days. He had to pull off one of his draconic scales before she forgave him. Now over 50 of her scales had been pulled out.
A tear escaped from his right eye as he looked into Anna’s pale face and dim eyes.
“Anna… I’m sorry!” he apologized with a hoarse voice. “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault!”
“Hey, no need to apologise to her. Now that we’re a couple. Let’s make it official.” Seline declared with happiness. She signalled for him to climb into the rock.
This rock was big enough to contain ten people, regardless of their size.
He climbed out of the water and knelt, covering his nether regions from the ladies’ view.
“Honey, why cover that? Are you coy in front of me? Do you think I won’t be satisfied with your little brother?” Seline asked coquettishly and stopped to touch his face.
She let go of the chain in her left hand and started tracing on his skin from his shoulders to his abs.
“How much I dreamt of touching these solid huns. Finally, my wish is fulfilled. Hahahaha, hahahaha! Annabelle, Annabelle, do you see? He’s mine now. Exclusively, my dear!” she giggled and lower her head to plant kisses on his shoulder.
He flinched and looked at the calm seawater instead. He thought of many ways for both of them to escape from this woman’s clutches, but there was no idea.
“Honey, why look away? Am I not pretty enough? Look at me.” she walked behind him and caressed his face.
“Don’t you like the feeling? Don’t you feel… excited?” she whispered into his left ear and kissed it. Andre gritted his teeth. How much he hated being this helpless.
“Andre, do you feel wronged? Do you want me to compensate you?”
Andre did not reply to her. His eyes had become teary and he fought hard not to let a tear fall.
Seline started caressing his shoulders gently while blowing air on his neck.
“Are you enjoying it?” she asked, but he didn’t reply.
“Hands up!” she commanded, but he didn’t obey. She became pissed.
“I will not repeat my words. Andre, hands up!” she barked, but he still didn’t obey.
“You dare defy me?”
“I can’t do it. There’s a limit to things, Seline. Have some shame too, will you? Annabelle is here and you want me to show my glory for you to ravage is front of her? I’m not doing it.” he spat.
“Oh?” she raised an eyebrow. “You mean if we go somewhere else, you’d be more willing?”
“I have no desire…” before he could complete his sentence, she slapped him and pushed him back into the water. He surfaced and she froze the seawater and ice climbed up to his neck.
“I don’t like being short-changed. We’re already a couple. I should have access to every inch of your body.”
“Seline, please stop this. None of us will benefit from this,” he pleaded.
In response, her legs transformed into a green snake’s tail. She glided into the frozen sea and sat close to him.
Andre saw her tail moving on its own and was scared it would coil around his neck.
