Chapter 193


    193–The Nightmares Of Truth


    Maynard‘s POV:


    Christina and I had fallen asleep after we finished talking. She slept on my chest, making me feel


    comfortable.


    I woke up to hearing some noises in the distance. It didn‘t really make sense because the voices


    sounded way too familiar. I gently pushed her to the side to get up on my feet and look afar.


    “What are you doing?” there was a young boy, probably my age, crawling back and looking frightened


    for his life.


    “I am finishing thepetition.” The other voicepelled me to lower my face and cover my ears in


    panic.


    “You cannot hurt me. We are brothers.” it was then I raised my face and watched my brother Geralt beg


    me to spare his life.


    I was the owner of the other voice and the person holding a gun in my hands.


    “I have to end it all today. Remember when my mother asked me what I want to be? I want to be the


    Alpha of the pack.‘ The 17–year–old me looked into the eyes of his brother as the gun was shot.


    “No!” my mouth went dry when I watched myself kill my brother. How the heck was I reliving that night


    again?


    “I didn‘t do anything,” I began to take steps back, looking for a ce to hide when I felt a hand shaking


    me awake.


    “Maynard! Wake up,” Christina had my face in her hands as she dragged me out of that nightmare. The


    nightmare that I was the reason for.


    “Is he okay?” Willow asked when her eyesnded on me. I was shocked at the nightmare, but the sight


    bewildered me more. It was Enya, Christina, and Willow in one sight.


    “I am fi–ne,” I responded rudely.


    “We need to leave,” Enya stated without looking my way. She seemed to have found a way to get to us,


    but that didn‘t divert my attention from her bloody nose and ears. She looked like a mess.


    “Are you okay?” I inquired and she unheard me.


    “We cannot stay here for too long. I cannot assist you guys —,” she stopped when her body felt weak.


    “Oh Goodness!” Christina supported her body but when I tried reaching to help her, Enya stopped me


    in my tracks.


    “I am fine,” she muttered.


    I know she hates me, and I wish it remains like that. It is much easier this way.


    “You cannot leave,” it was then we heard a loud voice mocking us.


    “You have to help me,” the other voice resembled Willow‘s voice, who was right in front of us.


    “What is this creature?” I asked in confusion. How are we going to fight something if it doesn‘t even


    exist?


    A strong wind blew toward us, and the corn stalk moved as if something was approaching us. We were


    all confused, and the two girls were frightened. Enya, however, jumped in front of us and raised her


    hand in the motion‘s direction.


    Christina stepped away to share a nce of confusion with me.

    “Enya, what are you d– her eyes widened when the wind suddenly stopped. As for Willow, she was


    already in and


    out of consciousness at this point,


    I had to constantly hold her and support her body up.


    “How-how did you do that?” Christina panicked. I felt her anxiety. It wasn‘t every day that a she–wolf


    can perform magic.


    “Now is not the time,” Enya turned around and more blood was streaming down her nose.


    “1–I don‘t understand, and what is happening to you?” understandably enough, Christina was unable to


    process everything.


    “Carry her, she might slow us down,” it was then Enya told me to carry Willow. I brought her in my arms


    and gestured at Christina to calm down.


    “Now!” Enya then stood confidently ahead of us and closed her eyes for a moment. Christina was


    examining her with a gaping mouth. I knew it would insecure Christina even more. She will feel


    ipetent inparison to Enya. But I know what and who I want now, so Christina shouldn‘t worry.


    “Show me the way out,” Enya ordered the cornstalks, and they had to obey her. The pressure and


    strength she was using were unmatchable. Even I got goosebumps when the stalks spread apart and


    showed us the way.


    “Now!” Enya screamed when we began to hear some whispers rushing after us to catch us.


    We were sprinting towards the road without dy. Enya was beginning to lose her steps. I wondered


    what was


    going on with her.


    Was it because she was using magic a lot?


    “Enya! stop it. We can find a way out ourselves from here,” I called for her, but she was not listening to


    me. I even heard her whimper as she sped towards the road and led us out safely.


    “Enya!” I yelled again, but she was stubborn. I felt guilty for triggering her into using all her strength. I


    forgot her strengthes at a price.


    Her health was at stake.


    But thankfully enough, we soon headed out of the fields and reached the road. The moment we got out


    of that cursedbyrinth, we dropped on the road andy down for a few minutes. Willow had passed


    outpletely.


    “Oh, God!” I sighed, raising my face to check up on Christina. “Hey.” I had to pull her into a hug the


    moment I got up on my feet. She had been through a lot the entire night. She needed me.


    “Enya!” it wasn‘t until Lazlo yelled for Enya that I felt ashamed of myself for not checking up on her


    sooner.


    “Hey!” Lazlo must have been made aware of this quest by the girls.


    “What the fuck happened to you? Where were you guys?” Lazlo was asking all the right questions.


    Little did he know, we had been through a very rough night.


    “We are fine now,” I said. “Enya is not well. We need to get her some help,” I added as I broke a hug


    from Christina.


    “I am f–ine, thankfully it is all over,” Enya sighed, still on her four and trying to catch her breath.


    “Actually,” Lazlo‘s response turned our attention towards him.


    “When we were told Enya went into the fields, Thiago left after you.” those words from Lazlo‘s mouth


    made Enya raise her face and stare at him in silence for a moment.
