Kimberly carefully stepped into the pattern, it smoothly gave way, Augustus Theo immediately stepped in too.

They found themselves in another section of the room full of iron door .

A vault like passkey, stood out by the corner, which required a password or finger print.

Augustus Theo, hastly grabbed Kimberly's hand and placed on the Passkey.

The vault didn't open. Instead, an electrifying effect ran throw his body and threw him on the wall .

His face was cracked as the northern witches voice rang in his head.

"You should never force Kimberly to do things against her wish. Gain her trust and get her to do things for you willingly"

Kimberly ran towards Augustus Theo.

"Uncle are you alright?"

Augustus Theo wriggled in pain as he tried to get up . His head was a bit cracked and bleeding a little.

"I'm fine " Augustus Theo answered with gritted teeth, trying to hold up a forced smile and suppressed pain.

Kimberly handed him her handkerchief, he dabbed his face , put the handkerchief on the bleeding area and firmly held it.

"Please put your hand on the Passkey"

He asked Kimberly.

"Uncle we already did and nothing happened..."

He shouted at Kimberly

"Put your hand on the damned passkey!"

His words echoed in his ear and pierced into his eardrum, causing him pain.

He cried in pain as he slumped into a kneeling position.

Kimberly, initially furious was full of sympathy.

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

"I will do it"

Kimberly snapped in sympathy as she tries to hold her uncle from slumping, but her weight wasn't enough since she's only a child.

It was getting very dark outside, the air was becoming more cold and sinister. Camilla wasn't at ease James they drove the car fiercely into the woods .

"James dear, please drive carefully "

Camilla was afraid that they may have an accident.

"I will honey. however we need to get to Augustus Theo before he harms our child "

The air become more tense as James turned the wheel to hidden parts and drove into the dense woods .

Camilla was beginning to get scared.

"It's too dangerous out here, I hope our child is safe" Camilla sobbed into her handkerchief.

Holding the steering wheel with one hand, James patted Camilla's back with the other hand .

"Let's call the police please. I don't have a good feeling about this"

Camilla continued sobbing.

"Don't worry, Augustus Theo is my younger brother, I can handle him. I do not want the corps sniffing into our family affairs . I do not want journalists poking their camera on our daughter's face. We know she's a gifted child, however, we want a normal life for her "

James insisted firmly .

"Augustus Theo's phone rang, he picked it.

You had better deliver the job! Unless you want us to kidnap the girl!

A hoarse voice thundered at Theo Augustus Theo.

" I.. am try..ing my best. It isn't that s..imple"

Augustus Theo stammered in fear.

"Your best is not enough! You had better put in more work or you'll go down for it!"

The phone call ended. Augustus Theo was humbled by both pain and the sinister phone call.

"Please Kimberly, do what I say. A lot is at stake here ".

Augustus Theo pleaded tearfully.

Kimberly looked at him in compassion.

"Uncle, can you tell me what is going on?"

She asked peering into his face innocently.

"You are too young to understand, please Kim, just do what I say".

Augustus Theo hissed.

"I am young, but I have deep understanding, you can try me"

Kim insisted.

"Can we get..!"

Augustus Theo was beginning to yell, but caught himself.

He lowered him his.

"Kimberly please, can we get everything over with already? Use your thumb on the Passkey "

Kimberly got up and moved to the passkey.

Augustus Theo held his breath as he wished under his breath that she wouldn't change her mind.
