Chapter 449: Kiara’s Arc Conclusion

While Faye and Kiara were still asleep, they remained inside the glowing circle that prevented anyone from entering because they would burn instantly to death.

This was completely shocking for the Night Walkers, whose big opportunity had finally come tonight. They only wanted to take Kiara away with them and find a way to reclaim their original land, which had been stolen long ago by the people who currently ruled it.

Since they could not get inside because of the magical barrier, and the barrier had been created by a witch they had stupidly killed the moment they arrived in the woods, Jonathan now felt extremely dumb and annoyed by the Walker who had killed her. Even though he was their leader, he was starting to feel like someone in his group was acting weird.

So they quickly called a witch, and within ten minutes, a new witch appeared right in front of them after some bargaining.

The witch was a young lady who looked like a normal teenager.

She immediately began trying to help them by breaking the glowing barrier.

Meanwhile, Beam and Malo sat quietly in a corner, their eyes still staring in shock at the dead body of Bambi, who had been split completely in half by a young woman holding a long silver sword.

The woman was crouching down close to them, watching them like a hawk so they wouldn’t try to do anything stupid or attempt to run away.

Malo still looked completely traumatized from seeing his childhood friend literally sliced in half.

"So Faye saved her for nothing..." he muttered softly as he shook his head in total disbelief.

He still couldn’t believe that the girl was officially dead because his best friend had almost sacrificed her own life for Bambi, only for her to die all over again.

Then his eyes turned back toward the circle, looking directly at his best friend asleep on the dirt. He pouted his lips a little bit.

This time around, it wasn’t his fault at all. He wasn’t the one who put Faye in this mess. He had warned Faye not to help Kiara earlier, and now there were like fifty Night Walkers standing all around them, and he had no real idea what they were searching for.

Then he thought about calling Faye’s owner. Maybe she could quickly come out here to their rescue.

He slowly pulled out his cell phone from his pocket and tried to type out a message to his former boss, but Beam quickly reached over and snatched his phone out of his hands.

"What do you think you are doing right now?" Beam whispered in a very low voice so only Malo could hear her.

Malo matched her tone and whispered right back.

"Don’t you think it’s time we call her Alpha to come to the rescue? What if they actually kill Faye after they successfully get inside that circle?"

"I don’t think it’s right to call Princess," Beam whispered back, keeping her eyes on the guard.

"Why not?"

"Because she specifically put me in charge of protecting her mate, and if she comes out here to see that I completely failed to do the simple task, she would think I am totally useless..."

"Ohhh, simple. Ms. Simple and Not Useful, isn’t that the exact situation we are sitting in right now? None of us are useful here at all, and this is definitely not a simple task, for your information. Any moment from now, that witch is going to break the circle, and then our hearts will be ripped right out from our bodies, or this crazy one beside us will split us in half like she did poor Bambi. These people are purely vengeful..." Malo said in a very low voice, but as he kept talking, his frantic voice became audible to the Walker sitting next to them.

"Will you two just shut up?" the Walker said coldly, reaching out and smacking Malo hard on the back of his head.

"We are shutting up right now. We were just quietly talking about school and other random things.... By the way, is that a real katana?" Malo asked, trying to act normal and maybe befriend the female Walker to save his own dear life.

"Yes. Do you wish to learn how it works?" the girl Walker asked, touching the sharp blade.

"When you say how it works, are you implying that you want to show me the way of the katana and you want to use it to cut me in half too?" Malo asked, trying his best to keep a straight face, but he was literally crying on the inside.

"Try to take a good guess. Yuri here is thirsty for blood today. I don’t mind feeding your blood to her."

Immediately, Malo moved much closer to Beam for protection, and Beam shoved him away with her elbow.

Beam looked over at the two girls sleeping inside the circle, wondering what was happening inside their heads. Then her eyes fell on Kiara’s face, and she noticed thick sweat building all over her forehead. Even her clothes were totally soaked through.

She wondered if Kiara was actually alright in there.

"Why should I even care? My main priority is Faye..." Beam muttered under her breath.

Then she stared at the sleeping Moon Wolf, who looked completely fine and peaceful, unlike Kiara, who was sweating profusely.

Then her eyes landed back on Bambi’s body lying nearby.

The girl was usually a total nuisance, but Beam had kind of clicked with her vibe and realized that she was actually fun to be friends with, unlike Princess, who claimed to be her friend but always bossed her around like some dog.

Beam really wanted to be hanging out with her girlfriend right now, but then Princess had appeared out of nowhere, ordering Beam to look after Faye while she was gone, and Beam couldn’t resist the command because she had sworn her loyalty to the Alpha.

Then Beam started to notice something strange.

Bambi’s heart was still beating inside her chest. She was really sure that the Katana girl had removed Bambi’s heart the exact moment she split her apart earlier.

She slowly watched Bambi’s motionless form, watching in shock as her split body slowly began joining back together.

Beam tapped Malo’s arm.

"What is it?" Malo whispered, annoyed.

He followed Beam’s pointing eyes and was completely shocked to see that Bambi was literally coming back to life. Her severed body was healing at an insane speed.

"Okay, that is so weird and cool at the exact same time..."

From watching Bambi’s body join back together, they watched as her eyes suddenly opened wide.

They were glowing bright green.

Bambi immediately stood up on her feet, and the very first thing she did was use her super speed to rush right toward the circle that the witch had been trying to break the barrier of.

She reached in, grabbed her sire, Faye, and sped far away into the dark woods.

All of this happened so insanely fast that not a single Walker saw it happen. It was just like a sharp breeze passing by their faces.

"Beam, she’s totally gone, and so is Faye..." Malo whispered with a crying face, wondering what on earth had just happened.

Just as Malo discovered that Faye was missing from the ground, so did the rest of the Walkers.

"Where is the other girl?" Jonathan yelled, looking at the empty dirt.

"Where did she go?" another Walker asked, looking around in a panic.

They all looked around frantically, searching everywhere for Faye, and then one of them noticed the completely missing body of Bambi.

The girl holding the katana sword stood up from her crouch and went over to join them in their total confusion.

Malo saw that his best friend was no longer lying there inside the circle. Since there was no longer any need for him to linger around this dangerous place, he slowly and quietly bounced away into the shadows. When he was far enough from the main scene, the dude started running for his absolute life through the dark trees, praying they wouldn’t catch him.

Beam turned her head to her side and saw that the boy was already gone.

"Asshole..." Beam muttered quietly.

Then she stayed and watched the scene unfold, looking closely at the Walkers. She did not want to leave, despite knowing deep down that she easily could, just like Malo had just done. Somehow, she failed to understand why she simply couldn’t bring herself to leave Kiara alone with these dangerous Walkers.

While the Walkers were all standing around in total confusion, the circle suddenly lit up in massive, roaring flames.

Everyone quickly stepped away from the intense heat.

"What on earth is happening right now?" Jonathan shouted loudly at the young witch.

"My magic cannot overpower that dead witch’s magic at all..." the young girl said, stepping back in fear.

She looked over at the dead witch lying on the ground. She truly wondered if that witch was actually dead, because whatever spell she had placed on the circle should have completely disappeared the exact moment her heart stopped beating.

"I paid you so much money for you to be completely useless to us right now! This is the only real opportunity we have. We need to seal that girl away and reclaim our stolen land. Young lady, if you don’t stop the fire and break the barrier right now, I will rip your heart out right here and burn you alive..." Jonathan threatened, his fangs extending.

Terrified shivers ran through the young witch as she frantically began to chant another spell.

She just happened to be a normal high schooler who did this magic side gig for extra money, and she had no idea that her next clients were going to be violent Walkers.

As she chanted her spell, she looked directly into the center of the roaring circle and saw a tall figure standing up inside it.

The figure was completely covered in bright flames.

The girl who had been asleep on the ground was now fully awake.

Jonathan, who was standing right by the witch’s side, saw the figure too.

Immediately, he realized that they were all completely doomed tonight.

"Chant another spell right now and get all of us out of here!" Jonathan shouted to the witch.

"I can only take two people with me at once... That is my limit!" the young witch screamed back, looking at the terrifying Walker.

Jonathan was in a very tight spot. He had promised the Walkers freedom, and now they were all going to die right here. He had no other choice left. He needed to survive, even if every single one of them was going to die tonight.

He quickly mind-linked one of his strongest allies.

The Katana girl moved closer to him in a flash and held his hand tight. Then the young witch held Jonathan’s free hand, and she teleported them away, disappearing completely from the scene.

Beam watched in total awe as the fire figure stepped right out of the burning flames.

It was Kiara.

She looked like a terrifying fire monster, her entire body completely covered in glowing flames.

She watched as Kiara began burning the Walkers one by one. They all screamed in total agony as they quickly turned to scattered ashes on the ground.

There was no one left alive in the scene except Kiara and Beam, who was desperately trying to run away, but her legs simply wouldn’t move an inch.

Kiara slowly walked toward Beam, still looking like a fiery creature.

No matter how hard Beam tried to force her legs to run, she remained standing frozen right there.

Kiara reached out and hugged Beam tight, and surprisingly, Beam did not catch fire at all.

Slowly, Kiara’s burning body returned back to its normal state.

She was completely naked now in the cold night air.

"Beamer..." Kiara muttered weakly before she passed out in her arms.
