Love Agreement With The King

John's gaze grow preoccupied, none of the creatures he hired in his team was magic, they all had as strength point their overdeveloped strenght and senses which would work amazingly against the snakes and Ethan but they truly stood no chance against an invisible banshee who was tricking with their minds.

Sharon moved her hand closer to John's forehead. John could feel the wind blowing intensely. He narrowed his eyes when the wind raised the dust and got inside his eyes. He tried to speed backward when he noticed that was the result of Sharon's gesture.

But he couldn't move.

His muscles weren't replying to his commands and he was immobilized completely until all of a sudden his vision darkened completely. He could feel an aching pain so strong that all his muscles contracted and his veins bloated.

He screamed so loudly to endure the pain that the ground trembled under his foot and creaked.

The scream echoed all around the surrounding reaching Roselyn who as soon as she recognized the scream widened her eyes and let the bottle she was holding fell onto the ground.

"What happened?" Kathy asked not hearing what Roselyn was able to hear.

Roselyn's face got paler she clenched her fists and resisted the urge of reaching John, she was so preoccupied but at the same time, she didn't know what to do.

"John...What is happening?" Roselyn murmured under his breath, linking with John but also Sharon heard her. John shut his eyes opened and suffocated another scream not to worry Roselyn much.

Sharon on the other hand had the opposite intent, she was hurting John on purpose, linking with him and making him feel all the excruciating pain only to indulge Roselyn to reach them.

John clenched both his fists and his teeth enduring the pain, bloated veins on his forehead formed and he became redder enduring the burning pain.

"John!" Ethan exclaimed as well, his gaze grew preoccupied.

Sharon glowered at Ethan when he went to shook his brother to wake him up but he was still immobilized and his heartbeat was accelerating.

"Don't dare." Sharon only said to his ally, then she turned around to gaze at the pack of shape-shifting snakes.

"Attack them!" she ordered them to attack's John team since they all were busy staring at John preoccupied and unable to help him.

The snakes lighting-fast attacked John's allies while Sharon slowly closed her fist to intensify the pain John was feeling.

Roselyn could feel John's heartbeat echoing in the room she was in, it was slow and weak.

"John... Can you hear me?" she murmured as she swallowed down the lump of sadness in her throat. She rushed toward the door but Kathy stretched for her arm to stop her.

"Rose don't go." Kathy said she looked at her with a pleading gaze, "John told me to impede you to come."

Roselyn shook her head knitting her eyebrows down confused, "let me go. I can help him." Roselyn complained and her voice broke and her eyes filled with tears.

"He told me that... In case the situation got worse and you could feel he was in pain I had to remind you he would rather choose you and your baby's life than his own." Kathy murmured, she set her gaze on the floor since she knew she wouldn't be able to bear Roselyn's gaze and stare at her in the eyes while her heart broke into thousands of pieces.

Roselyn got her hand free from Abigail's grip and reached the door of the mansion.

She gripped around the handle but when she pulled it, it didn't budge. She tried one more time and then again and again until she let out an angry scream and turned around to gaze at Kathy. Tears fell down Roselyn's face and Kathy felt her heart aching seeing her dearest friend in such a condition.

"He... He knew you would have tried anyway and he locked us in." Kathy said.

Roselyn kicked the door in fury and then exploded in a desperate cry as she sat onto the floor.

A tear ran down John's cheek as well, he could feel Roselyn's crying and from his shortened breath he understood he was slowly dying from the pain.

John's eyelids got heavier and he lost the link with Roselyn when he began to hear so many voices yet couldn't understand who they were or what they were saying. His vision got blurred, he could see less clear but he knew he didn't have to give up to that sleepy sensation or he may won't be able to wake up later.

Ethan was shaking even more preoccupied about what to do he gazed at the surrounding when a maid attacked him from behind, it was the one who he practiced with once.

Another maid when to jump on Sharon but just as predictable that attack barely moved Sharon.

The two maids turned around, the snakes had already knocked out about 10 of their allies and John wasn't conscious, they began to shake in fear acknowledging their chances of winning had reduced to the minimum.

The maid tightened around Ethan's neck, "tell us how we can defeat Sharon. John needs your help!" She screamed but Ethan didn't reply nor tried to help.

Sharon was glowering at him with the corner of her eyes.

"John! Do it for Roselyn!" Another maid screamed.

"It's only a vision you can fight it!" The maid left Ethan's neck to walk closer to John.

"Snakes! You can attack John now!" Sharon ordered and all the snakes including the ones involved in a fight turned around to speed in John's direction.

"This is not the plan!" Ethan exclaimed preoccupied but Sharon smirked.

"I know." She murmured as she kept focusing.

All the maids in sync closed their eyes and took each other's hands speeding to surround John to offer him protection.

The snakes reached them in few seconds faster than usual as if they were driven by a mysterious strength and energy.
