Lydia's pov
An evidence? I muttered under my breath, my heart racing but I couldn't tell if it was from excitement or nervousness.
I watch her walked towards us, taking each step gracefully and immediately she reminded me of my past life. I was the type of lady that draw attention when I entered a room.
My presence commands authority and respect but now? Nah! Everything has depreciated! I no longer have that glowing and perfect skin like my past life and the worst thing is being an obryn!
"Alisha...." the senior park hand said in surprise, and from the tone she uses to call her name you would know Alisha is noble.
"Please free her," Alisha spoke calmly and the senior park hand obeyed, smiling.
Did I just see her smile? Whoa! I don't know she could smile though her smile is not pretty.
Alisha looked at me and smiled. "Lydia.. Nice to meet you," she said, startling me.
How did she know my name? Or am I becoming popular here? I wondered, laughing at my own thoughts.
"Thank you," I spoke slowly, now arranging my rumpled shirt.
"You...." Alisha said and gave the chubby girl a fierce look, causing her to lower her head in fear. "You dare framed Lydia, spreading lies!" she added in an angry tone, and I was surprised.
Am I being lucky right now? Getting help from a noble?
I watched silently how everything will unfold.
Watching Alisha closely I saw her remove a strange thing from her pocket and then she waved it in the air showing everyone, and then it hit me! I know this thing! It is a spy doll!
But wait... How did she got it? Is she perhaps a Woody? I wondered, still watching her closely.
She throw the spy doll in the air and shouted, her voice filled with authority, "Secretum revelare!" and immediately the spy doll's head faced the wall and its eyes emits a faint light which began to show what it captured like a projector.
I was stunned by the work, this thing is cool! I exclaimed in me. Then everything unfold, how the guard excorted me, what he told me, down to how the chubby girl and her partner approached me and how I defended myself.
Now the truth is in everyone's front, she could no longer frame or accuse me falsely anymore.
Looking back at the girl I find out she was shaking and sweating profusely.
The spy doll finished playing and Alisha used her hand to control it back to herself and she put it back in her pocket.
"You lied! You should be punished," the park hand spoke in an angry tone.
"No-no," the girl spoke and run away.
"Catch her!" The senior park hand shouted and I watched as the obryns began to run after her. I run after her too to see what is going to happen to her but I was too slow compared to the obryns. I stopped, catching my breath, and watch them running further and further.
"Don't you train your wolf?" I heard a calm voice behind me and I turn around seeing Alisha walking calmly towards me.
I was short of words. I haven't fully understand this werewolf thing and haven't transformed, what does training one's wolf means? I asked myself silently and stare at her blankly.
She laughed and held my arm. I wanted to pull my arm from hers but she spoke, "don't," and I was shocked. What does she mean?
Will she hurt me or what?
"Celeritatem auge!" I watch her shouted and immediately a great force pulled us and it was like we were running two times faster. That force was strong that the wind hitting my face was making me a little dizzy.
I have never run in such a pace before, even in my past life where I did regular exercise and ran daily. This speed was supernatural.
Before I could think further, we passed all the obryns who were running after the chubby girl, and we stopped right in front of her. Alisha released my arm and used her hand to stop the girl from running.
"Let me go!" the girl shouted, now crying. I looked at her in disgust. She is a bully yet she is afraid of punishment?
"Shut your mouth up!" Alisha commanded, causing the girl to shake in fear. "You are coming with me," Alisha said and held the girl's hand, dragging her. But what the girl did next was unexpected.
She leaned down quickly and sank her teeth into Alisha's skin, causing Alisha to let go of her in pain, and she fled. This time, I watched as she transformed into a wolf, leaving me utterly stunned.
Is this happening? I asked myself, my eyes widening in shock. Then again, Alisha did the same thing muttering a strange word, grabbing me by the arm and we were running fast again.
I hated it! Why is she involving me again, or perhaps she is trying to flaunt her magical skills? I rolled my eyes at the thought.
Where we stopped next was a bit scary. I could see thick bushes and a forest ahead of us.
"Stop right there!!" Alisha shouted in caution.
The chubby girl, now in her wolf form, stopped and looked back at us. Her eyes held deep sadness, and for a minute I felt sorry for her.
"If you move an inch, you will get your chubby self killed!" Alisha yelled in anger. "I know these boundaries more than you do. My family's protective magic holds this boundary and if you dare cross it, you will die," she added in a warning tone. But the look the chubby girl gave us was that of someone who believed Alisha was lying.
"Believe her! She is not lying!" I chimed in, not really sure if Alisha was telling the truth or not, but her speech was convincing enough.
Alisha looked at me and smiled, then we both looked at the girl who howled loudly. I felt seriously uncomfortable. How can a human howl like an animal?
Even if I watched her transform and all that, I still couldn't accept the fact. It was really strange for me.
She took little steps toward the boundaries which were marked by two large trees and strange fencing made from tree bark and a blackish thick substance.
"Don't!" Alisha shouted when the girl's leg moved further. Then, looking back at us for the last time, the girl spoke in her wolf form:
"I will leave this park for good. I don't care about your empty threats," she said rudely, and then jumped past the tree. But before her leg could touch outside the boundary completely, a thin light line formation emitted from the tree and passed through her body and the next thing I saw was her divided body.
Her waist upward fell outside the boundary and her waist downward fell inside the boundary, and blood gushed from her body soaking the dry ground.
I dropped on my knees and screamed in fear, the sight terrible. Then my eyes blurred. "Blood shock?" I muttered under my breath. When I thought
I would faint, my chest burned and I felt the invisible necklace on my neck once again.
