Jasmine smirked triumphantly when she watched her twin sister was under her mercy. Her wrist bound together in a handcuff, but her expression made her joyful moment slightly spoiled.
July didn't look in distress or she was in panic, but instead, her expression looked so bored, as if she was trapped in this car with the person that she didn't like.
"I will not go easy on you," Jasmine scowled at her and wanted to see how she responded to that, but the only reply that she got was only a 'hm' from her, as if she didn't even bother to reply to her. "You don't need to pretend that you don't scare at all, both of us know that it will be the beginning of your nightmare."
"Hm." That was the only reply that she offered to her riled up twin sister. Jasmine was trying to annoy her, but little did she knew that in showbiz, when she was an actress, she had met a lot of people that has way more creative idea and words to annoy her, thus what she said was nothing compared to the things that she had gone through.
Jasmine would have killed a few people if she was in her industry back in the day.
"You will beg me." Jasmine gritted her teeth and when there was no reply from July, as the scenery outside, which only showed a long road covered with snow, was way more interesting, her patience ran out. She grabbed her face and forcefully made July looked at her. "You will suffer and I will guarantee that."
Only then July chuckled when she heard that. "From what I look, it seems you are the one, who is suffering to get my attention, little sister." July winked at her and she got a harsh slap.
However, before thing went south to both of them, they could hear a loud of explosion sound from the direction of the frozen lake. Something had happened there, since the sound like a thunderous landslide.
"What is that?" the man, who was driving the car, stepped on the break when they heard that.
Jasmine jumped out of the car, along with that man to have a clear look to the site, which was a distance away from them. But, from this distance, there was nothing that they could see.
"What happened there?" Jasmine contacted her man on the site.
Meanwhile, inside the car, July narrowed her eyes at the direction of the frozen lake, while she was trying to pick on the lock, without even seeing it. Sebastian had done a great job to teach her this thing.
=====================
Zuri could feel the heat on her face when she watched the uproar that unfolded before her eyes.
The ice on the surface of the frozen lake was cracked and melted, as the temperature around the lake was getting high in every second that passed. Zuri could feel the snow beneath her body started liquefying and sweat on her forehead.
What was happening?
She wanted to push herself from the dirty and moist ground, but her body was in so much pain that she couldn't move.
"Take her with us. We will go now," Liam ordered Damon, but then the beta's movement stopped when all Archie's people surrounded them.
"You will not take her anywhere without my permission." Archie glared at Liam, as the alpha was greatly outnumbered and in disadvantage if he insisted with his initial plan. "She stays with me."
"Your plan is failed," Liam threw the fact to his face, but Archie didn't budge. "You will die if you keep going with your damn ego."
"This will work and your pack will be the first that learn the true power."
All the five shifters behind Liam growled in warning when they heard his words, but the alpha alone looked composed he didn't budge or show any emotions on his expression.
"You will not have that chance if you die," Liam said it lightly, but there was warning in his voice.
At the same time, there was a blinding light from the lake, that was no longer covered with ice, something bright in yellow and red color came from beneath it and as it was getting closer to the surface, they could guess what it was, though they didn't think it was possible to happen.
It was a flame. An immense flames that was enough to bright up the night sky and turned the night into day.
All of them tried to cover their eyes when the flames reached the surface and the fire burned everything that it touched.
"Back away! Back off! The fire burns the machine!" all the men shouted to one another, as the clamor was erupted among them.
"Back off!"
"Move!"
All of them was no longer care about anything, since the only thing in their mind was how to save themselves from this bizarre event.
Screams and shrieks filled the air when the flames licked their body and turned them into dust. Seeing this, of course the other people was no longer wanted to stay in the same place, there was no order could reach them when their survival instinct kicked in.
"Don't run! Take the machine idiot! Turn on the machine!" Archie roared to every people that ran past him, but no one heed his order.
"You will die if you don't run, Mr. Williams," Liam said calmly, as he gestured to the member of his pack to back off.
However, when Liam looked for Zuri, she was no longer there. She had gone.
"Where is she?" he asked grimly at Damon, but the beta seemed as lost as him.
"She was here before," Damon said. He was distracted by what was happening, so he was no longer paid attention to that girl. All of them was no longer paid attention to anything except to that wild flames.
