Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 865

Helanie:

It got so bad we could no longer hear each other. The wind whooshed and thunder cracked so loud I thought, if this wasn't the Grey Woman, it would be Doomsday.

I held my breath and started to douse her with the alcohol, but it was too little. She was soaked, we needed more.

Maximus sprinted for Emmet's room and I followed. We saw how much damage the storm had done.

Even the passage Emmet used to wander was torn apart. We had to fight our way to his room. As expected, there were plenty of bottles.

"Try to grab as many as you can," I told him, and he knew why.

"He can buy more if he wants, you know that, right?" Maximus said, and I grunted.

"I know he can, but he doesn't have to. He has to learn to change his habits now," I said.

We grabbed bottles and ran back to the garden. It didn't look good. Monsters were pouring toward the yard. Emmet and Norman had to drop the door and join the fight, and Maximus ran to help them.

Jenny and Lucy held the door while I started pouring alcohol over the grey woman.

She grimaced and stared at me like she expected me to open her mouth and speak to her one last time.

I wasn't a fool. If I let her speak, she'd do her voodoo and we'd never be able to kill her.

Gavin came out of the house, running and holding his phone toward me.

"It's Kaye, he's calling," he said, and my heart slammed against my ribs. I took the phone and kept pouring, emptying the last bottle. Gavin steadied my hands.

"Is everything okay?" I asked Kaye.

"No, Helanie. How long till you burn her? It's getting really hard. I might not be able to hold them back much longer," Kaye said, his voice tight with panic. I got goosebumps.

"We're doing everything as fast as we can," I mumbled, holding the phone between my shoulder and cheek while I tried to get a flame going.

"Okay, you need to hurry, Helanie. It's getting difficult," Kaye urged.

"I'm doing everything I can," I said, panicking. Gavin joined in to help with the fire.

Finally the sheet on top of her caught fire. It was a dry sheet, and it flared first. We watched it burn, waiting for it to go out.

Kaye was unraveling on the other end, yelling that he couldn't hold them anymore. I was terrified for him, for my mom, and for Lord McQuoid.

"Helanie!" Kaye called again, his voice full of panic. Then I heard heavy footsteps and a bang.

"Kaye!" I screamed, and at the same time the flames hit the grey woman. The fire exploded around her.

"Kaye, please talk to me," I begged, tears springing to my eyes. I screamed his name until I dropped to my knees.

Maximus grabbed me from behind, hauling me away from the flames. The others pulled back from the door too.

"Kaye!" I screamed one last time as they pulled me back into the mansion, watching the Grey Woman burn completely.

"They're all gone," Lucy announced, pointing toward the main entrance. She was right.

"What the fuck happened?" I asked. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
