Luisa and the Witcher

Chapter 27: Soulless immortal



"Wow..." Luisa marvelled at the sight of Zeke. He was such a handsome young boy with an angelic face. Zeke gazed at Luisa, she was back to how she was when they first met and with the look on her face, he could tell he was also looking ten as well.

"You're truly short, shortie," Zeke's voice wasn't deep and manly anymore but it was a sweet boyish tone.

He was right, she was short. They were both ten now but he was still taller than her. Zeke walked closer to her, he has missed those green eyes of hers.

"You have beautiful grey eyes," Luisa commented and Zeke smiled. As a pure blooded vampire, and not just any pure blooded vampire but a royal, he had the ability to conceal his dark red eyes, all royal pure blooded vampires could.

Their medallions and weapons were still on them and it was like the spell also made their clothes to fit into their ten-year-old bodies.

Zeke unsheathed his sword and swung it perfectly in combat. Luisa also collected her bow and an arrow and decided to aim at a tree but she couldn't. She continued to struggle with it but the bow had just become too big for her;

"Ah!...I can't string my bow, my arms are too short and fragile," he complained and Zeke laughed at her plight.

"What's so funny?!" she glared at him but she only looked ten times more adorable.

"I guess it's the good old magician duty for you, aye?" he mused.

"It's not funny!" she replied. Zeke touched her bow as he muttered a spell and the bow became smaller when he was done with the spell.

'Oh, didn't think of this,' she thought.

It was a shrinking spell, of white magic origin. Luisa started to test it out and aimed for the tree again. She was able to string it very well this time and the arrow was about to hit the tree when it stopped in mid air. It turned towards their direction and that was when their medallions glowed- Li`cabur!

The snake demon was right there staring at them looking as ugly as ever with a smug look on its face. It was the one holding the arrow in mid air with its telepathy.

"Witchers, it was so stupid of you to turn yourselves into defenseless children to lure me out," it began.

"Now, I'm going to enjoy tearing you apart," it added.

"You're not the first to say that, so get in line ugly," Zeke irk it even more. It scowled as it let go of the arrow and directed it towards them, which they dodge so easily.

"Luisa, when we are to defend ourselves from it, you do as I say okay and attack without fear or doubt when going solo. Also, try as much as possible to irk it, to hide your fear from it. It uses your fear against you and when you irk it, it gets angry and that's what we'll use against it," Zeke whispered to Luisa. He turned to face her and she nodded.

"You missed, loser!" Zeke added.

The snake demon swept the ground towards them faster than any normal snake you could think of. Zeke charged at it first and swiped his sword skillfully at it, but the demon was also skilled at dodging his every attempt.

It hit Zeke by the side which sent him flying towards a tree. Luisa didn't waste any time in shooting her arrows at it, like a fearless amazon.

The creature started to laugh at Luisa, even as some of the arrows hit its chest. Small doubt and fear started to creep into Luisa's mind as she continued shooting her arrows but while moving slowly away from the creature who continued to come closer to her.

"What cute attempts!" it mocked her.

"I'm a demon, a soulless immortal and one of the greatest adaptation for my survival is that I lack a heart. So if you're thinking of killing me through my heart, sorry...I don't have one," it informed and continued to laugh.

Zeke began to get up slowly, his vision was a little red and blurry on his right eye, he knew he must be bleeding at the head. He looked over to where the demon was and saw it standing in front of Luisa who shot her arrows endlessly at it.

Suddenly the creature grabbed Luisa by the neck and knock off her bow from her hands.

"I don't seem to be able to possess you, witchers. What sly and cunny, witchers!" it said and lashed at her neck, drinking her blood as it poisoned her with its venom. Luisa screamed at the pain.

"Luisa!" Zeke yelled as he came to her rescue and in one go he sliced the li`cabur's tail. It fell to the ground letting go of Luisa, its tail separated from its body.

Then Zeke rushed to Luisa who jerked on the ground. He raised her head and held her cheek as he knelt in front of her.

"Luisa?! Luisa look at me...look at me," he told as she held her neck and started to spew out black and red blood.

"Luisa look at me!" Zeke pleaded, worry written all over his face and eyes. She turned to look at him.

"Stay with me okay. Trust me...stay with me...no...no, Luisa don't close your eyes," he objected, when Luisa began to fixate between consciousness and unconsciousness.

"Don't close your eyes, don't surrender to the poison. We're not dying tonight, not like this. So stay with me shortie. In a matter of time, the potion will start neutralizing the venom but only if you don't surrender to unconsciousness. So keep your eyes open," he requested and she nodded.

'I don't want to lose you too,' he thought as a single tear drop rolled down his handsome face.

"Please..." he added, feeling his chest already tightening up in pain, even though she wasn't gone yet but just the sight of her in pain was enough to cause him pain.

He began to hear movements and he turned towards the creature. He didn't actually expect it to die by just cutting its tail off. The creature began to get up with its hands on the ground as support.

"I have to fight now, Luisa. Don't close your eyes, fight it...for you..." and for me too, he thought as he placed a kiss on her forehead, another tear drop making its way down his cheek.

He glanced at her once more and she nodded, tears also in her eyes. He slowly placed her head on the ground and stood up to face the creature who began to laugh sardonically.

"Mankind!" he noted as it spat in disgust.

"You all have one thing in common, whether human or vampire or elf or witch... you all! Your emotions makes you weak!" it continued.

"How.Dare.You lay your filthy hands on my woman!!!" he yelled at the creature, a killer look burned like hellfire in his eyes which has turned to dark red.

The creature continued to laugh sardonically, "I wonder why she isn't dead yet"

It previous tail dissipated into ashes as it regenerated a new one and stood up so mightily. Zeke charged at it with his sword, he moved like the speed of light, the creature couldn't even anticipate his every movement. It only knew that with every movements there was a slash on its body.

The li`cabur's eyes burned in anger, it felt being mocked. "Ahhh!!!" it screamed in both pain and anger when Zeke slashed its stomach.

Its eyes started to zoom in on the swift movements like wind and he was finally able to grab Zeke by the neck and he tossed him away. Zeke stood up again, his fangs were out and well defined as he glared daggers at the creature. He could taste his blood in his mouth as his lips bled, his dark red eyes glowed.

"You mosquito! I'm going to roast you with hellfire and savour you," the creature boasted and Zeke smirked.

"Shut up, peasant. You talk way too much, let's wait and see who's going to be burnt with hellfire today," Zeke responded irking the creature, who launched at him in anger.
