Chapter 567: The room of death

Gyles

The smell is strong.

I know it the minute I walk into the hallway. I don’t even need to find the room, I already know that it is here. This room that I have been hearing a lot about. I don’t know why there is this uneasy feeling inside me.

I know what I am walking into. I know the risks of even looking for this place but I have the book with me, I have Eleanor with me. That should count for something—at least.

I cover my nose as the smell gets stronger the further we walk down the halls. It is dark and very musty. I know that no one knows about this place. It is hidden and the agenda is known to me. Analise has used this place for God knows how long, to perform her atrocities and I plan on burning this place down. I want to end everything before we even kill her.

"Do you think we are any closer?’ Eleanor asks me.

I don’t even know how to answer her. I thought she was going to be the one to show me the way but now it seems like I will have to do everything by myself. "I don’t know, it seems like a never-ending hallway,’’ I point out as I try to find a way out of the hallway. There are no windows, no doors, just a dingy path that I don’t know how to get out of.

"It seems like we are close though, there is this stench that just doesn’t want to leave.’’ I rub my nose softly.

"I know the smell, it feels so familiar,’’ she finally says but I don’t even know what to think about her. Eleanor doesn’t even have a solution for anything and I know that I shouldn’t be blaming her right now. I offered to help—okay, I didn’t even offer, they coerced me to help because I felt like I didn’t even have a choice.

I don’t have a problem with helping. At the end of everything, I would be doing this for Blue. He doesn’t know it yet but the fact that the coven was involved and Analise was the culprit made the decision easier for me. I needed to do this for him. As long as his mother is alive, we will never be truly safe.

She will always find a way to come back and torment us.

I stop walking when we get to the end of the hall. It is a dead end with no doors. "How the hell is it not here?’’ I ask her in frustration even though I already know that she will not have the answer to it.

The book in my grasp starts to shake so fast that it falls to the ground. The book opens to the middle page and a bright light comes out of it and hits the wall. I watch the sight in front of me, unsure of what is happening. I know that the book is about to help us find what we are looking for. So I stand there and watch patiently as the wall starts to transform into a door very slowly. The famous door, that has been haunting me for a while now.

I send Blue a mind link immediately as the excitement kicks in. I shouldn’t be excited right, I don’t know what to expect from this. I don’t even know what I am even looking for.

"This is the place. This is the room.’’ Eleanor exclaims in excitement.

I reach for the door and I hear her take a step back "You’re coming in with me?’’ I ask her as I turn to her slowly.

There is fear in her eyes. I can see that she is terrified but I don’t want her to leave me to this alone. She might be a ghost but her presence is giving me some sort of comfort that I need to face this.

"Yes—’’ she tells me but I watch her as she vanishes from plain sight in a foggy mess. I close my eyes for a second just as Blue sends me a mind link back. I reach for the door again but this time, I pick up the book from the floor. Now, the book is the only thing I have. It feels like I am walking into this on my own. I know that Blue has his own battles cut out for him but I need him right now.

I tell him where to come with a mind link but he stops responding after a couple of replies. I don’t have a choice, I have to go by myself.

I open the door and step inside. "Oh my God,’’ I whisper as I step inside. The smell is strong. I can see the dried blood on the floor and the smell is just overpowering. Bloodstained walls, skeletons hung on the wall of the room, almost like a memento, scattered candles, and this is a room that is full of death. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to touch or look at any of this. I just want to get out of here because the mess that is in front of me is scarier than anything I have ever seen in my whole life and I have seen a lot of things.

There is a table at the end of the room, there is a book placed on the table and it seems to shine brighter than anything in the room.

Maybe I need to take it. This seems to be her source of power. She has her book just like we have ours. This might be the way to get to her. This might be the way to end everything.

I walk over to the table with slow strides. The floor is sticky, the room is a mess, one that I wish to be out of. I grab the book in a hurry and I feel a whiff of air that is so fast and catches me off guard instantly. I hear the door close and my heart thuds against my chest as I watch the door close with a loud bang.

"Fuck."
