SCARLET’S POVMy heart skidded and it seemed like all thoughts of how to escape had been plucked out from my head. I was transfixed, staring at the darkness approaching. Hilda had talked about it. She had said they knew I was there, and were coming for me. What would become of me if they happened to take me.“Ralph! Do something!” Ralph shouted, jolting me back to my senses, as the darkness swirled nearer to us. Just then, I felt the same nervous energy piling up within me. I could recall the nervousness I had felt when the rogue looked like he would try to attack me. That was the same energy filling me.My fingers began to move faster than my eyes, knocking aside the poorly arranged stones, and placing them where they ought to be. The feeling was great— the feeling of being awed at myself for being able to pull off such. I made the old door perfectly, and left it. We were maybe a minute away from potential danger, which might lead to death, and my heart had leaped to my throat. I
“What darkness?” I asked, but she shook her head. “Maybe it's not the right time.” She said, and proceeded to set Ralph's shoulder right. “I will give you some food to eat, then you sleep, but you have to find your way back. You cannot stay here for long.” She said, setting it with a single snap that made Ralph grunt. She bustled away from us into the kitchen, and I watched her leave. “How did we get here in the first place? We don't know, so how can we get back?” Ralph asked in confusion, looking around.“Actually, I… I think I might have something to do with it.” I said, and he raised a brow.“You might have something to do with this weird land?” He asked, sitting up slightly. “Yeah. You… you were actually right. The rogues were not friendly for no reason. They had ulterior motives. Their leader was mad, and it seemed like he wanted to attack me. I think that nervousness, and unease, triggered my powers again, but I didn't know.” I explained, and saw how anger settled in his eye
ELIAS' POV.Three days, and I hadn't gotten a word from the tracker. Each day, I had waited patiently for him to give me news concerning Sylvia, but I hadn't seen him at all. He seemed to have vanished completely.Dialing his number, and texting him proved futile, and I began to have an uneasy feeling. On the third night however, I tried to get news about the tracker through people I knew he had some connections with.“We haven't seen him in like three days. We thought he was busy. He doesn't take calls, and read messages. Naturally, he's not that way. We only thought his work made him that way. So, if it's not work, then…what could it be?” An elderly man informed me. “He doesn't act this way?”“Never. He checks on me every morning. I'm starting to think he's missing. Please, don't try to assume maybe he went off somewhere or something. I think you should try searching for him, before something bad happens to him.”“I'll… I'll try searching for him.” J promised and turned around to
SCARLET'S POVI got to my feet immediately, banging painfully on the rocks, even though I knew it was futile. The fear of being alone rising within me was like an entity itself, but screaming made me feel more vulnerable.“Elias!” I called out loud, but couldn't hear anything. All was silent, and it made me realize I was truly alone. There was no one to rescue me.I turned around slowly, looking around me. “Where are you?” I asked out loud, looking around me. No reply came back to me, so I went around, wondering if there was another opening, somewhere else that could get me out. But the cave was completely sealed off. I took in deep breaths, as I surveyed the walls, and any place that seemed like an opening. It took quite a while for me to accept that I was completely sealed off in the cave, and that there was no leaving, not until I came face to face with the demon. “I'm not dying. It seems like it, but that's not the case.” I said to myself, gathering my courage. The demon wanted
ELIAS'S POVI stared at her to be sure she was really serious, and that she wasn't just going to get my hopes high. “You were on your way here before?” I asked, and she nodded, walking towards me. “I wanted to know if Scarlet was doing fine. I also wanted to tell her it was better if she confined Sylvia, but she wasn't picking up.” She explained. “So how can you help?” I asked, and her mate handed her her bag. She opened it and dipped her hand within. “It so happens that I know this cave.” She said, looking at me as her hand roamed the contents of the bag. “It has two entrances.” She said, taking out a large old piece of parchment. “I've been searching for an entrance since. I couldn't find any. You're sure it hasn't been sealed?” I asked, but she rolled open the parchment, and began to trail her painted red finger on it.“Here.” Fredrick, her mate pointed out.“Yes, here. There's an old mine underneath the cave. It's really large, and it has another entrance.” She explained. “R
SCARLET’S POV“Please take good care of her, Elias.” I urged him as I passed Sylvia over to him.At this point, he was the one who was certain to take good care of her as he ought to.“Where are you going to, Scarlet?” Elias questioned, looking like he was sensing something was wrong.“I have to go away to keep the demon from hurting anyone else. If I stay around here, then it’s going to do worse things we would never expect. Now that I have him captive, it’s the best time to be victorious over it.” Scarlet said, boldly without a hint of fear in her eyes.“Scarlet, if anything is going to get rid of the demon completely, that would be water. It is its true weakness, and that’s why it always hide in the mines.” Ralph informed me.“Thank you so much Ralph. I’ll put that to test.” I said, feeling assured that the demon would be conquered.Already, I could feel the demon struggling to control me, but I guess I had a strong will that made it impossible for it to take over completely.I tur
SCARLET’S POVIt’s been days since the whole demon encounter happened, and I must say, it wasn’t easy. But thanks to the moon goddess who kept showing her mercy, all that is now in the past, and hopefully nothing evil will come up again.I got down from the bed, and sauntered towards the window, and opened up the curtains. It felt so nice to see the sunlight without any problems eating at your soul. The sun was bright and it seemed to be spreading its brightness into my soul and heart.Then I turned away from the window, and sat on the bed again. Now that there were no pending problems, the best thing was to get something to do as I can’t just stay idle, and being bored all day.I began to think of various things I could do until one thought dropped in my head. I had a passion for baking and had always desired to open a bakery; the best bakery ever.“I’m going to inform Elias about this.” I said to myself, happily.The joy of finally knowing what to do, and especially as it’s your pas
When night fell, Sylvia laid on her bed, and as she drifted off to sleep, she found herself in a big mansion. "Welcome, Sylvia.""Where am I? And what am I doing right here?" She questioned, looking baffled and scared. "You are in the land of nowhere. Come on, you don't expect to be free just like that. If you want to gain complete freedom, then you'll have to complete a few tasks or you'll never get out of this dream or nightmare; whatever you call it." A woman spoke as she walked down the stairs with two other women.Sylvia knew they were serious about it and she would only waste her time, asking more questions."Alright, what do I have to do?""Good. First, you have to get an orb for me, and then when you're back, we'll discuss about what my other sisters would like from you."I summoned the courage and took a deep breath. "Alright, where do I get it?" Sylvia asked, ready to go with what they had said.Before she knew it, they snapped her out of that world and she met herself cl
