Chapter 26
I didn’t want him to go but I had to. I kissed him back as we let go of each other and he went straight to the door to check who it was. He opened the door, and Jaden and Rhea walked in…
They looked worried about something with the way they both walked in. I just hope nothing has happened to Rhea.
“Come in dear,” I said to them as they walked toward meContent (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Is there anything wrong?” Their father asked
“Yes, there is,” Rhea said
“What is it?” I asked
~ Rhea’s POV~
After dinner, Mother helped me back to my room and left. I thought of how Lucy is doing right now. I felt really bad for her being tied up in a chair all day long.
“Just hang in there Lucy, we will get you out,” I thought to myself as I closed my eyes to get some rest,
“Rhea…” A voice called out as my eyes shut open. It was Lucy who called. I wonder why she’s calling me, I hope nothing bad has happened.
“Yes” I answered
“There’s a problem,” She said
“What’s the matter? Did she hurt you? ” I asked
“No, she didn’t but I think we have a bigger problem,” she said
“And what would that be?” I asked
“Great got the house sealed with some sort of spell that no one can go in or out,” she said
“That’s bad,” I said
“And I also heard she’s making another spell that would make any magical being vulnerable to her,” she said
“Now, that’s really bad but how come you got to know about it?” I asked
“I made a friend here. Don’t worry about her, you can trust her” She said
“Okay, I’ve got to go warn mum and dad,” I said
“Okay, ” she said
“Wait, are you still tied to a chair?” I asked
“No, I’m not. She untied me knowing that I can not escape from the building. Im just locked up in a room” She replied
“Okay, just be careful,” I said
“Someone’s coming, I’ve got to go,” She said as I made my way to tell father and mother what Lucy just said.
On my way, I met Jaden who seemed like he was coming to my room
“Why do you look so worried?” He asked
“With the whole situation, I can seem not to be worried,” I said to him
“Anyway, we have a problem,” I said to him as I explained to him what Lucy said to me
“We have to tell Father and Mother right away,” He said as we both made our way to meet our parents
~ Lucy’s POV ~
“Someone is coming, I’ve got to go now,” I said to Rhea as the door opened.
My heart raced as the thought of Greeta having heard what I said went through my mind. Luckily for me, it was Lydia who walked in. She looked really worried.
“What’s going on?” I asked her
“You’ve got to be careful and you have to warn your people,” She said
“What exactly are you talking about?” I asked
“She is planning to wipe out all of you with the spell she’s making,” She said
“Do you know what the spell is about?” I asked
“I don’t know” She replied
“Don’t worry, I’ve warned them already. Im sure by now they will be looking for other ways to get us out of here” I assured her
~ Karen’s POV ~
With the way Jaden and Rhea looked, I hope nothing bad has happened to Lucy. I hope she’s alright.
“I think we might have a problem,” Jaden said as my heart skipped a beat as the thought of Lucy getting hurt came to me
“What is it? Are you hurt?” I asked
“No, I’m not but…” I said
“But what, ” Derrick asked
“Is Lucy hurt?” I asked
“No, she’s not,” Rhea said
“But we have another bigger problem at hand” She added
“What would that be?” Derrick asked
“Lucy said that the Greeta is planning to wipe us all out,” Rhea said
“That means we have to take her unaware” Derrick said
“That’s another problem,” Jaden said
“What do you mean by that?” I asked
“Greeta sealed the house with a spell,” Rhea said
“Even if you manage to get through, you won’t be able to make it out” She added
“Why? ” I asked
“That’s because you will become vulnerable to her. Your powers will be useless in there” She said
“We’ve got to find another way. But how?” Jaden asked
“That’s not all, she’s making another spell which she will use to kill us but I don’t know what the spell is, ” Rhea said
“We will definitely figure it out. Go get some rest.” I said to them as they both nodded in agreement as they both left the room and shut the door after them.
I paced around the room worriedly. Just then, Derrick grab me by my hands and hugged me.
“Don’t worry too much, everything will be fine” He said as he carried me to the bed.
He held me in his arms to sleep. He gave me a kiss on my forehead which unbelievably calmed me down. I felt relieved in his arms knowing that I’m safe in his arms.
~ Jaden’s POV ~
Leaving our parent’s room, I escorted Rhea to her room. Getting to her room,
“Please, tell Lucy that I miss her,” I said to her
“Okay, sure” She replied and she said good night and entered her room.
I walked back to my room and lay on the bed but couldn’t get to sleep. I went down to meet Willow in his room.
Knock!!! Knock
“Can I come in?” I asked
“Yes of course” He replied as I opened the door and made my way in
“What can I do for you, young master?” He asked
“I can’t sleep,” I said to him
“And why is that?” He asked
“Come on Willow, with everything happening, do you think one can sleep well?” I asked
“Hmm, not really. I can’t sleep too” He said
“With everything happening, I get scared every time,” I said to him
“You don’t have to be scared, we are here for you all” Willow assured
“Okay. Can I stay here with you for tonight?” I asked
“Sure you can, I guess the bed is big enough for two.” He said as I lay on the bed and dozed off
Zzzzz…
