Under Her Cursed Scythe

"Well, there should be a lot of souls around this area tonight. I just have to reap more than usual to compensate the time that I've wasted." Alivia convinced herself. "Where should I go now?" She took off her glove and waited for the Reaper's ring to guide her. That was when she picked up on the small dark stain on the gemstone.

'What's this?' She intended to rub it off with her fingers. "What's wrong with you?" She didn't keep the question in her head this time.

"Is this ink? When- OUCH!" she wailed when suddenly she felt a sharp figure, something like a needle, was harshly breached into her shoulder from behind.

When she turned around, she instantly recognized two of the cloaked people she saw the other night-the one cladded in a dark blue feathered cloak and the later who dressed like Darth Vader in Star Wars, only that all his wearings were emerald green in color-coming out from a mystical hollow that made the air around it looked wavy and distorted.

"Blessers..." Alivia growled.

The Blesser in the dark blue cloak walked forward and sniggered at her. " Do you really think you are able to hide from us forever, Witch?"

Alivia was aware of the needle in the Blesser's hand.

"That's impossible. How did you find me?" Alivia asked with disbelief.

She wanted to battle but she seemed to be anesthetized in which her limbs became fragile all of a sudden and were not able to work properly. Then, she lost her balance and fell down on the ground.

"What …what…did you do to…. me?" Alivia's voice began to faint and stars danced in her vision. Then after feeling a sudden rush of dizziness towards her head, darkness rushed up under her eyelids.

"Are you sure this is the same Witch? It looks…from last time. For one, it looks taller." the Blesser in the emerald-colored cloak doubted. Meanwhile, his thumbs were busily pressing the buttons on his mobile phone.

"Even if I'm wrong, I don't see a problem of exterminating one more Witch. But trust me! This is the one."

"Why so certain? You don't have Abz's ability of seeing auras or a Familiar who could track down auras like his."

"Remember good old science? We extracted a blood sample from our weapons just now, and adding a little magic into it, it immediately found a matching set of DNA. So I'm positively certain that this is the same Witch that had assaulted us." the Blesser in the dark blue cloak assured and started to enchant a spell on Alivia.

"Can you deliberate about this later on? We should be going before someone sees us! " the female Blesser denoted, a whine creeping into her voice. Then, with one touch on Alivia's fingers, her body raised above from the ground and floated in mid-air. "And Agent 106." she whipped her head at the male Blesser and uttered in a commanding tone. "Put away your stupid phone and help me push her into the portal!"

"Yes, yes, as you wish, 'boss'." the male Blesser rolled his eyes and tucked his phone into his pocket.

Along with Alivia's body, the two Blesser walked towards the clouds with a mixture of blue, red, white and purple color at the other end of the hollow, and disappeared.
