Chapter 511 Angry Husband
Music Recommendation: Unescapable Nightmare- Kang Min Goo
—
"… believe that Noah knew my mother because there is no way he heard it from me. I never played it in front of him or even sang it," Eve explained to Vincent, who sat beside her inside the carriage.
Ten minutes had passed since they had left the Moriarty mansion, and Eve quickly let Vincent know about Noah's music box gift to her without wasting time. But what she didn't know was that her openness and communication with her husband would not go well this time. It was because the person sitting in the carriage was not her husband, but the man seeking her.
"Do you think his father slept with my mother? What?" Eve asked Vincent when she found him staring at her continuously as if soaking in every word she spoke.
"His father didn't sleep with your mother," Vincent answered, and Eve frowned, wondering how he was sure about it.
"Then how is it possible that he knew it?" Eve asked him, before she said, "Mother often had the habit of playing that song when the piano was there or she was made to sing a song. Because she was a siren, of course." Everyone knew that a siren's voice, especially when the creature sang, was alluring and drew people in, making her irresistible.
Vincent said, "It is because I have been looking at wrong things, when the answer has been right in front of me."
For a moment, Eve misunderstood the man's words, who was sitting next to her. Was it not Noah's father anymore whom they weren't suspicious about? She then saw him pull out a vial, which held green smoke in it.
She asked him, "What is this?" And she took it when Vincent offered it to her.
"This was given to me by one of the councilmen when we were at Woodlock's cemetery. It was found in Noah's body," Vincent said and helped her open the cork of the vial. Soon the green smoke escaped from the glass vial and Eve's eyes moved to catch the smoke starting to disperse around them.
The scent of the smoke felt stifling, but at the same time it felt as if her body had started to relax the tensions that had been building in her muscles until now.
Once the smoke was all gone, Eve turned to Vincent and asked him, "W—what was that?" Feeling a slight headiness. Was it just her feeling like this? Because Vincent appeared to be fine. She shook her head to get rid of the feeling and waved her hand in front of her, but it only made her feel that much more sluggish.
"What you inhaled right now is called 'Fog of sleep'. It is used on creatures of the sea, and it works only on them and not on the people of land," Vincent's voice started to change, and at the same time a heaviness started to weigh in Eve's eyelids as if she couldn't keep it open. "I am surprised that I didn't catch you before this. To think you have been in front of me all this time, it finally does make sense. So much sense."
"What?" Eve asked in a slur before her eyes closed and she fell unconscious.
"Have a goodnight sleep. I need you to be at your full strength later," James chuckled as he looked down at the unconscious woman beside him.
Back in the Moriarty mansion, the family gathered at the front of the stairs with a look of deep worry.
"Vincent, where are you going?" Lady Annalise asked when he started to walk away.
"To bring back my wife," Vincent replied in anger. To think that Eve had been kidnapped with the person having the audacity to come to their home. In the next second, Vincent disappeared from their eyes.
Eduard, who heard his wife's loud voice, came to the front and asked, "What is going on?"
Lady Annalise pursed her lips before replying, "Someone kidnapped Eve but posing to be Vincent. She isn't in the mansion. Vincent went to find her."
"I don't think he will find her where he expects her to be right now," Eduard muttered because if the Sullivans were really behind it and the soul of the next descendant had come alive, they wouldn't see through the sacrifice of Eve. He said, "This is not good."
"I didn't know one could change appearance and turn to someone. Was it a witch? Black magic?" Lady Annalise asked her husband in worry.
"Worse. Something worse has come back," Eduard answered her, and he shouted for the butler, "Alfie!"
Alfie, who was in the kitchen quickly ran out and bowed his head, "Yes, Sire?"
"Pull up two carriages. I will be going to Darthmore. Annalise and Allie will be going to Holy Oak," Eduard decided, as he wanted to make sure no more problems would arise.
"Holy Oak?" Lady Annalise asked in hesitation, as that wasn't her favourite place.
"Yes. It is for the best. You don't have to stay there long. Just until the full moon disappears from the sky. It isn't safe for Allie or you to be here. The abilities have limitations and with distance, you will be safe," Eduard said before he turned to the butler, who bowed and left them.
"Why are you going to Darthmore for?" Lady Annalise asked him.
"Someone needs to make a report of Eve missing and let them know what is going to happen," Eduard said to her.
While the carriages were prepared, Vincent flew towards Woodlock and on reaching Sullivan's mansion, he landed right in front of the mansion. And even though he was here, he knew the chances of finding Eve here was slim. It was because he couldn't sense her here, and somewhere it created an anxious mind that he wasn't pleased about. Eve's disappearance reminded him of when he, Marceline and his mother were taken far from home, and it ended with him losing his mother.
Vincent gritted his teeth and stepped into the mansion. A new butler appeared in front of him, who questioned,
"Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan have gone to bed. I would request you to visit them in the morning."
Vincent glared at the butler, who turned startled, not expecting the vampire to glare at him. He deadpanned, "If they have gone to bed, wake them up. We have something to talk about."

Chapter 512 And The Truth Comes Out
Jeffry and Hilda Sullivan quickly came down from their room, making their way through the corridors before finding Vincent, who stood in their mansion. Jeffry wasn't pleased with Vincent barging into their house without prior notice and disturbing this late at night.
"Mr. Moriarty. To what do we owe the pleasure of seeing you at this hour of the day?" Jeffry questioned the pureblooded vampire.
Vincent smiled wide, and his eyes looked slightly erratic. He said, "My wife is missing and I strongly believe that this family has something to do with it."
Lady Hilda frowned upon hearing this. She said, "That is some wild accusations have there, boy. If you wife is missing, you should be reporting it to the magistrate or at the Council. We are people from respectable and upstanding members of the society."
"It is often the members of the society who claim themselves to be that are the ones who often are up to no good," Vincent replied and then turned to Jeffry, "So, are you going to speak?"
Jeffry looked confused, and he answered, "We lost our son. I don't know why you feel it was us, but we had nothing to do with it. It would be wise for you to leave and not come back again."
Vincent was in no mood to listen or play the fool the Sullivans were playing to be. In less than a second, his hand shot up to grab the former Duke's neck, and he pushed the man against the wall,
"I really am not in the mood to leave. Where have you hidden her?"
"What is wrong with you?!" Lady Hilda demanded, trying to pry Vincent's hands off her husband. But somewhere, the thought of this person eliminating her husband seemed convenient, and her hands slid back to her sides.
"I--I don't know! I have no idea where she is!" Jeffry somewhere sounded truthful, but Vincent wasn't buying it. This man was the person who had killed Noah and had sucked in his abilities. But at the same time, this person was playing dumb.
Vincent had met enough criminals in his lifetime because of his job, and it had made him learn the body language of the culprit. The criminal could always feign being scared by trembling and stuttering, but there was a way to find the truth by looking past it. His red eyes brooded as they stared into the werewolf's eyes and he noticed his irises had dilated.
This man didn't know where Eve was, but something seemed amiss with the other person with them right now. He turned to look at Lady Hilda, who stared back at him.
"But you have an idea of where she is, don't you?" Vincent asked in a voice that sent chills down the woman's back even though she believed she had sided with the right person.
"You are asking absurd questions, Vincent Moriarty," Lady Hilda responded and said, "You should leave or you will be forced to leave our mansion for harassing us."
Jeffry coughed, trying to get back his breath that Vincent had squeezed and he glared along with his wife at this pureblooded vampire.
Vincent caught hold of the woman's neck, and she garbled incoherent words as if asking for help. But when her husband tried to move, he couldn't and he looked at the pureblooded vampire in shock.
"Lady Hilda, do you think I am joking when I say that I won't mind ripping your head off? You must already know that I don't care much about rules, less follow them," Vincent spoke lowly, his eyes darkening. He continued, "You didn't seem to care much that I was going to kill your husband there. Why?"
When he loosened his hold around her neck, the lady choked and coughed, "You are being delusional!"
"Am I?" Vincent chuckled, and he turned to look at Jeffry. "Maybe I am because I am losing my mind at the thought of where my wife was taken. So how about you come clean?"
"I don't know! I don't know where she is!" Lady Hilda's eyes moved left and right as if searching for something or someone that Vincent noted on.
The pureblooded vampire's eyes grew angrier with every passing second as he didn't know in what state Eve was. If there was one thing, he knew, it was that Eve would be kept alive until the ritual of the sacrifice of the sea goddess Nerhy's daughters. But that was the time limit he had.
"Then what are you lying about?" Vincent demanded.
There was a change in the way her heart was beating, and it sounded nervous. His nails started to grow longer, while it began to dig into her neck. His eyes then suddenly glowed, and he ordered,
"Speak or die."
Lady Hilda was waiting for James to come and rescue her, but even though minutes had passed since this pureblooded vampire had appeared in the mansion, James was nowhere to be seen. Even her husband called for his brother, "James! James! Servants! Go inform the magistrate about this vampire who has attacked my family!" He ordered his servants.
The servants were loyal to the family members of the Sullivan family. When they started to walk and run towards the front of the mansion, all Vincent had to do was look in their direction. Jeffry and Lady Hilda's eyes widened when their servants fell to their knees.
Now that Jeffry called his brother's name, Vincent's eyes moved to look through the place from where he stood. As the gears in his mind started to turn and twist as he tried to piece the information in his hand. Then a dark chuckle escaped his lips, bringing Jeffry and Lady Hilda's attention to him.
"What are you laughing about?" Jeffry demanded from Vincent. The pureblooded vampire was crazier than he had heard about from others.
"It seems like there was a misunderstanding about who the father was," Vincent stated, and he heard Lady Hilda's heart hitch. He turned back to her, "Looks like I am not the only one who didn't know."

Chapter 513 Pinch Of Betrayal
When Eve woke up, her head felt heavy, and she lay there on the ground for several minutes, feeling the occasional cold breeze on her skin. As she opened her eyes, it focused on the burning bright fire not too far from her.
"…." Eve pushed her hand on the muddy ground before sitting upright. She noticed the cage she had been put in. This was enough to snap her out of the sleep she had been having.
"Good, you are finally awake. I was wondering if I would have to throw the coal to wake you up," Vincent said, which sounded eerily strange to her.
"Vincent… why am I here?" Eve asked him with a deep frown. It was unlike him, and she said, "You aren't Vincent…"
The person in front of her chuckled, and he said, "Seems like I didn't use my ability well," and his face transformed to the one she had seen through the memories that the Gauntlet's family graves had shown her.
"Erasmus…" Eve whispered, feeling a shiver run down her spine.
Her mind quickly paced as it tried to understand what had happened in the last few hours. The person who had come in front of the drawing-room, the person she had sat in the carriage and spoken to, was not Vincent. She had spoken to Erasmus. But she still didn't understand and stared at him from the cage.
"Looks like you are already familiar with me, Genevieve Barlow," Erasmus walked towards her cage with a maddening smile, as if the goal he had been working on until now would finally see its life. "Or should I call you Marina or Nerissa?"
Eve would have denied knowing those names, but she had already spoken his name and there was no going back. She only stared at the man, who continued to smile at her wickedly.

"I was wondering where I heard the name Barlow and it has been itching in the back of my mind," Erasmus said to her and paused walking when he stood before her. He continued, "It was your mother. She was a Barlow."
"You knew my mother?" Eve asked him, and the man nodded his head.
"So well," Erasmus raised his hands before holding them, "So well that I heard her scream in pain when I killed her." He watched Eve furrow her eyebrows, and he said, "Let me make it easy for you, shall I?"
Erasmus's face started to transform again and this time it took the appearance of Noah's uncle. James Sullivan. Eve's heart dropped in her chest when she finally realised the truth. This man… this was the man she had been looking for all this life. To take revenge against him for her mother's death.
How could she have missed this?! She had crossed paths with him so many times before, how did she fail to identify her mother's killer?
James Sullivan was the one to kill her mother… and the more that thought sank into her mind, the more her hands clenched into fists.
"How could you kill her?" Eve asked with anger beginning to coarse through her mind. "She did nothing to you."
James chuckled at Eve's naive words and asked, "How would you feel if the pet that you had been feeding and taking care of decided to bite you?"
"My mother wasn't your pet! She was a person!" Eve lost her cool, before she pushed herself to stand up and glared at him.
Wanting to get out of the cage, Eve touched the metal when she felt a sudden zap in her body, making her step away from the criss-cross metal rods.
The cage that she had been placed in was no ordinary metal, and by the look James was giving her, he had planned everything before hand.
"I will kill you," Eve's voice had turned cold.
"It would be best for you to not touch the metal and think you can escape from what I have built just for you. This cage has been awaiting for your arrival. To think that I failed to recognise you," James clicked his tongue before his appearance turned back to Erasmus's face. He said, "IT is because you never gave me anything to doubt, considering how you had a family and were working for the Moriarty family. Do you know how I solved the mystery of where Nerhys's daughters were? Not in the carriage."
Erasmus then said, "It was when Vincent Moriarty married you. I don't think you know, but the descendants of the Gauntlet's sons will end up gravitating near Nerhys's daughters. Then there was Noah."
Wait, Eve thought as another realisation hit her mind.
Erasmus continued to speak, "My son was smart, because he hid you for so long. He knew that I was looking for you and he tried to come in my way. But Noah should have known that nothing could stop me. Not even him."
"You are Noah's father…" It wasn't Jeffry Sullivan? Eve asked in her mind.
"Mm, that's right. He was trying to protect you, but look what happened? If only he followed my instructions. Isn't it strange that every person who has tried to protect you, ends up dead?" Erasmus clicked his tongue with disdain, and he said, "It is fine though. When the aspiration is big, a few sacrifices can be ignored. It is fate that brings us all together, and it is I who will end the long curse."
Eve could barely keep her mind straight as the revelation had her ponder. Erasmus or James's words about Noah had her turn quiet. He knew… All that time when she had hidden about her true self or the past, Noah knew all of it, but hadn't mentioned a word to her.
She didn't know how to feel about this… Betrayal was the first thing that she felt.
Noah had the answers Eve had been looking for, and he knew everything. But neither did he help her, or this man who stood in front of her. She knew if he wanted to, he would have helped Erasmus long ago.

ALLURE OF THE NIGHT
Chapter 514 Tracking Her
Eve's mind was muddled as she thought about Noah and their friendship. And by Erasmus's words, Noah had tried to stop his evil deeds but had only ended up dying. She said to Erasmus,
"Smile as much as you want now. Because you won't have those moments later."
"So much confidence. You resemble your mother. But you should have seen the way she withered. You don't want to have her fate," Erasmus reminded her. "You are the sacrificial lamb of this ritual and if you think that you will be saved, it is better to let that thought go. Vincent will never come, and even if he does, remember my words? You will get anyone who tries to protect you killed."
Eve didn't like the thought of it, but she had faith and confidence in Vincent.
"Only time will tell," Eve said in a low voice and she then raised her hand, gathering moisture from the atmosphere. The collected moisture turned into spikes and she pushed them against to hit the rods of the cage, but apart from it creating electric sparks because of the friction, the cage never broke.
"This cage is built from the rare properties present in the sea. Did you think I would be unprepared?" Erasmus questioned her.
Eve didn't know something like the cage existed which would stop her from crossing it. She dug her fingernails into her palms. How was she going to get out of this? She had to think. Every action had a loophole and she had to find one in this situation.
Maybe she should ask one of the sea creature's help. She had read it in the book, and it was time to put her knowledge to use. But she would have to wait for this man to leave or turn his back to her, so that she could relay the message.
Eve asked him, "Where are we?"
"Somewhere no one can ever find us. The place is secure enough for not even an animal to pass through," Erasmus replied to her while walking to the little table where flasks and potions were placed on it.
Before everything, Eve would have to know where they were. She had to know the place before she would relay the message to the sea creature, hoping one of them would accept to help her.
Eve was held captive by Erasmus, who waited for the golden moon to appear quickly so that he could use her blood and her soul to sacrifice and gain the limitless power that the Sea Goddess had held back before and after her breath.
Far away from the nameless place, Eduard had reached the Council and he made his way quickly through the corridors and towards the Head Council's chambers. When he impatiently pushed the doors open, an annoyed Clayton asked,
"Has the concept of knocking on the doors been lost by your family?"
It was because Vincent was already in the room, and his hair was ruffled from the wind as he had tried to find Eve before arriving at the Council for help after visiting Sullivan's family. Some things couldn't be done alone, and he needed all the help he could get right now.
Vincent continued what he was saying earlier, "Erasmus has woken up, and he resides in James."
"How is that possible? I thought only descendants could wield the power," Clayton nodded grimly. "But if what you are saying is true," he stared at Vincent, understanding why he had sensed the darkness in there when he had caught a young Vincent's hand. He said, "Then I should capture the Sullivans. But the question is on what grounds? The Council works on proof and a missing person doesn't mean someone has done it unless someone saw it."
"Tell the others that you have the proof. That my father saw James take Eve. We can tell the entire truth of what is going on when it ends, along with the solid proof," Vincent said to the Head Council, knowing it was a risk to Clayton if things went wrong, he would have to answer to the people above him.
Clayton took a moment of silence to weigh Vincent's words. He stated, "I assume, you don't want people to know what your wife is."
"Keep it a secret for now. If and when time comes, we will deal with it then," Vincent remarked, considering the future.
The Head Council said, "It isn't going to be easy. But I will give you three days, Vince. To bring the proof or bury it."
A wicked smile mixed with anger appeared on Vincent's lips, and he said, "Bury it is."
"I will send the order for Jeffry and Hilda Sullivan's arrest. You know what to do," Clayton said to Vincent before pulling the drawer of his desk and handing a seal to the pureblooded vampire.
Vincent didn't waste a second and bolted out of the room. His footsteps were quick as he walked to the other building and took the stairs, which were guarded by men. He raised his hand that held the seal, and the guards were quick to bow and let him pass through.
The underground of this particular building was rarely used, and only a few of the older council members were aware of the different privileges and uses this place had.
With the torches of fire burning on the wall that lit up with every footstep Vincent took forward, he finally reached the end that led to an old rusted door. He opened the door and entered it. Where an old man whose skin stuck to his bones sitting on the chair with a dead look on his face.
The old man groaned, as his eyes moved to look at Vincent and he asked, "What is the message?" The person was a Howler, a messenger that connected the other parts of the kingdom. As the travel of birds or a person took time to reach, the Council used this person as their means of communication.
"James Sullivan, the former Duke Jeffry Sullivan has gone rogue and needs to be captured. He's a threat," Vincent fed the information that would be circulated before the hunt would start.
The old man groaned again before asking, "Reason?"
Vincent pursed his lips before saying, "He killed the deceased Duke Noah Sullivan, and has tried to kill the Head Council." He would turn the world upside down to find Eve and only hoped she was fine.

Music Recommendation: Dreadful stories- Kensuke Ushio
--
The news about James Sullivan, who had recently turned rogue, started to spread like a wildfire in every land. And it wasn't because he had killed Noah or had gone rogue, but because Vincent lied about James trying to kill the Head Council, which was why the matter was taken up as a serious issue.
But Vincent didn't end his message there and said, "James has ability to change himself into anything he wants. He currently has Genevieve Moriarty as his hostage. Wife of Vincent Moriarty. He has gone crazy and is trying to side with the black witches."
"Information sent," the old man groaned, who didn't have eyes, and they were nothing less to an endless pit of hell.
Even though Vincent didn't know where to find Eve, he didn't sit waiting for things to happen. He knew James or Erasmus wouldn't kill Eve right now, not until the full golden moon showed up in the sky, and they had time until then. But he didn't want to take chances. His hands clenched into tight fists. He had lost someone dear to him before, but he wouldn't let anyone steal Eve from him.
Vincent looked through the grounds for Eve endlessly, while flying in the sky and trying to find the connection through the bond he had placed on her. His bat-like wings flapped on his back, his eyes darkened with every minute of separation from his love.
On the other hand, Eve continued to touch the cage walls using her abilities to shield but it only repulsed her, bringing shock and throwing her back at the centre. She could hear the chirping of birds in the sky, letting her know it was morning.
"You should stop doing that by now when you know there's no escape for you. If death is what you seek, I will be handing it to you soon," Erasmus stated, who stood near the cave wall with his back against her.
But Eve didn't stop and she tried to touch the cage again and felt a burning heat that sparked from the tip of her fingers. She hissed at the sensation.
"I miss your mother. Rebecca," Erasmus said to Eve, and this had her stop touching the cage.
Eve said to him, "With every person you have killed, you have only decreased your chances to live. You are meant to die by my hands."
"So brave," Erasmus chuckled, and he said, "If I knew you sooner, I would have taken you to bed. I am sure you had a hard life. No father, no mother to protect you. An orphan who was being hunted."
"It was hard," Eve agreed and said, "But it is the hard life that you gifted me, that has shaped me to be who I am."
"I wonder how powerful you are without the metal wall surrounding you now," Erasmus turned to look at Eve and he then asked, "Did you know that Marianna wasn't a gifted mermaid? It is why Nerhys decided to give her as a gift, so that she wouldn't be used. I was sad in the beginning, but then I realised it was Nerissa who had all the hidden abilities in her. Where is she? I have been wanting to meet her for quite some time now."
Eve glared at the man and then calmly said, "Let me out of this cage and let us see if my mother's gift precedes what I have. She handed the gift to your father, and you stole it from him," her voice started to change, and her eyes turned to gold with slits in them.
"Erasmus," Eve appeared with a tone of seductiveness as she said his name.
Noticing the siren coming forward, Erasmus walked back to stand in front of Eve with just the cage separating them. He said, "Nerissa. I was very disappointed when I saw you dead. I left a mark on you, a precious bond to show we were meant to be together, yet you went ahead and killed yourself. Sadly I couldn't use the vial in time to bring you back."
"It is good that you didn't bring me back before, I would have ripped your throat with my teeth," Eve said to him and smiled to show her jagged teeth. "You killed your father and stole the vial from him..."
Erasmus clicked his teeth and said, "He was suffering too much and I thought I would end his misery. Do you know where the vial is?"
Eve stared at the man with her golden slit eyes and the smile not leaving her lips. She said, "In hell. Do you want to accompany me?"
"You seem to have turned much more talkative than before. You can go ahead to hell, and let me know how it is when I come," Erasmus then raised his hand and threw the potion he had been making for Eve to scream. "This is so that I can prepare you to your potential. I need you to be weak but harness your powers."
Eve's eyes glowed like crystals in the dark and she said, "Do you know what the prophecy said, Erasmus?"
"About the curse? I know," Erasmus said with a lopsided smile. "The curse can be broken when the daughter of Nerhys marries the son of King Gauntlet out of love. The sea creature will need to open her heart to him."
Eve's scales started appearing on her neck and hands where the potion was thrown at her. She leaned forward, licking her lips, and said, "And do you know what happens?"
"It allows me to sacrifice the daughters. That is you. Steal all your abilities as mine, and then control the--"
"That is what you think, isn't it, Erasmus?" Eve interrupted him before walking to the other side of the cage while staring at her long nails that were ready to tear and kill.
The smile on Erasmus's lips faltered as he waited for Eve to continue to speak. She said, "I wasn't talking about the curse but there's a prophecy that you never heard about. You trying to fulfil your desires will only bring your end. And the end isn't too far from where we are."
A look of a sneer appeared on the man's face. Erasmus said,
"If that was true, you would have done it before that kill yourself like a coward."
"There are a few things that are above your understanding, Erasmus," Eve's eyes moved back to look at Erasmus.
She and Marina had been told that something bad was coming their way. It was why they had reached the land to bring their mother back. But they were late and the Gauntlet's greed knew no bounds. She regretted hurting her sister because of the lapse of her judgement in people when they were on the land, bonding with a man who was meant to bring chaos. When Eve was born, there was so much fogginess until this very moment, until her eyes fell on Erasmus.
The reason Marina killed herself was to change the course of their fate. Now Nerissa knew her purpose. It was to kill this man with her sister.
Erasmus noticed the siren behaving like she had the upper hand when she was at his mercy. When a man with white robes entered the cave-like place, Erasmus said, "I have a gift for you, Nerissa. I prepared it just for you, my love."
Eve glared at the man and said, "I don't need anything from you. If you are wise, you will let me free."
Erasmus clicked his tongue "Tsk, not so easy. But I hope you will enjoy it," he said, walking to the table and bringing a glass flask. He placed it on the ground, drew lines around the cage and circle, and wrote something with it. He then turned to the priest and said, "Begin the process."
The priest looked scared for a moment when Eve, who was actually Nerissa barred her teeth at him. With wary steps, he came forward before opening an old, tattered book and reading spells from them. Soon something started to emerge from Eve's body, little drops of light moving from her to the flask.
"One drop at a time," Erasmus said to her with a bright smile.
Eve receiving control of her body, fell on her knees and placed her palms on the ground. She closed her eyes, wondering what was happening.
'He is stealing our essence.'
Her eyes snapped on hearing the voice and she heard the person speak again, 'Don't be scared, my sister. It is I, Nerissa who speaks.'
Eve wondered if she should speak loudly in front of these two men or if speaking in mind would work. She tried by saying, 'You stole my body!' For a moment there, she had seen nothing but darkness, as if sitting back and watching Nerissa and Erasmus talk to each other. She had never experienced something like that and wasn't keen on doing it again.
Eve couldn't help but question if Nerissa was always there, but she doubted she was. It was because it felt it was only recently that the person had woken up from her deep slumber.
'Forgive me,' Nerissa apologised, and she then continued, 'That essence is nothing but our soul with what we are essentially made of. We need to get out of here before it fills up. Else it's good as us being dead. There is something that I noticed. It's the sky,' she said in a grim voice.
'What is it?' Eve turned her head and tried to get a glimpse of the sky, but she couldn't.
Nerissa said to her, 'The sirens have a certain affinity towards the full moon, because of its beauty and its strength. I believe we were led to believe the full golden moon is going to show in two days...'
The cave was filled with the priests muttering and the fire crackling, and Eve felt her heart drop. She said, 'You don't mean to say that it is today, do you...' This was worse than she thought it to be. 'How can it be possible?!' Vincent and Eve had been making sure to follow the moon since they had found out about it.
'Erasmus has been scheming this since for a long time. Probably since he found out about your existence and mine the night mother died,' Nerissa explained to her. She said, 'He must have used the witches help to fool everyone. We have no time.'
Eve asked Nerissa back, 'What do you propose we do? My abilities seem limited here. If somehow Vincent can know where we are, or we find the place by using the siren call, maybe we can stop it.' It felt like everything she had learned until now, it couldn't be used by her because of the disadvantage that Erasmus had placed her in.
'You are right. We are together, sister. There's nothing that can stand in our way, not even this man if we join together,' Nerissa replied to her. Eve believed it was the help Nerissa would provide with her guidance, but then the person cleared, 'Together as one being.'
Though Nerissa meant to kill Erasmus, Eve wasn't sure what being together meant and how it would end. But they had no option right now, and she would have to trust the siren. Eve said,
'On one condition.'
'What is it?' Nerissa asked her.
'You won't hurt or kill Vincent, no matter what the circumstance. The person Acheron's soul is in. Promise me,' Eve waited for the siren to speak, as she seemed to have gone quiet.
'I promise you not to harm him,' Nerissa gave her word to Eve.
Eve finally gave permission to Nerissa, for them to finally combine their souls in one body. It took less than two seconds before she felt as if thousands of needles pierced into her body. Blood rushed through her veins as if she was swimming in speed and she closed her eyes, while gritting her teeth. And her body fell limp on the ground.
