3. Message

"You guys are sure." Asked the masked man in confusion as he looked around the room and the frightened Seraphina on the ground.

"This chick looks scared. Will she revive our organisation?"

The other men controlled Seraphina and expressed their doubt.

"She is the only one with black hair. The other woman died."

"Yeah!" Agreed the leader.

Seraphina was speechless. She didn't know how to deal with this situation as she has never faced something like this in her life.

"What do you want?"

Seraphina muttered.

The leader was doubtful whether this timid girl was actually the target of their mission. She didn't look like a leader nor does she seem capable enough to start an agenda.

The leader with vicious eyes gave her a look.

"No need to know something that you can't handle."

"Let's go. We can't waste our time on idle chit-chat."

Seraphina was controlled and for the first time in her life she dared to fight against destiny.

Seraphina shouted and asked for help.

"Somebody! Help!"

"Help me!!!"

"Someone"

The other minions were annoyed at her action and gripped her mouth hard.

"Stop barking. No one is going to come and save you."

"Yeah, little lady, be quiet. We had already silenced your guards. You should be thankful."

"Exactly! Do you want to go back to the Mining Star of Angelos family?"

"So shut your trap and obediently follow us."

Seraphina finally asked the reason behind all this.

"Why would you capture me? I am of no use."

"What do you mean by black hair woman?"

While Seraphina was expressing her doubts, all of them reached near the control room where Seraphina could see the previous four guards bleeding profusely.

She was finally aware of the situation that she was surrounded by enemies and her future was unknown.

These mysterious people were trying to capture her and taking her somewhere away from the destined route set by the captain.

" Change the route to 3410 star"

The leader ordered and one of the masked man came out and controlled the spaceship and set a new route for the destination.

Seraphina remembered the ring that was clenched in her hand after the young guard landed it to her before in the room.

He had warned her to use this when she was in trouble.

She was contemplating whether to use this now or wait for some more time. She was not decisive enough to act on her instinct and missed the optimum time to save herself.

"Please! Leave me." Seraphina voiced her desire.

"I don't want to go with you."

The masked men snickered at her words thinking how foolish this girl could be.

Who would ask their kidnapper this kind of thing?

"You must have a screw loose in your head. Who cares about your wishes? We are just doing our job."

The right hand man of the masked vicious leader asked in a low voice. "Is she really our hope?"

Afterall, he had witnessed Seraphina's performance till this time and it was completely different from the way they ever imagined their hope.

"Selena was not like her. Is she really her daughter?"

The vicious man gave him a hard look and turned around to see Seraphina looking at them with angry eyes.

Unbeknownst to the right hand man, he thought he was quietly expressing his thoughts but his last words were loud enough for Seraphina to hear across the room.

"Shut up!"

"I am my mom's daughter. How dare you say shit about our relationship?"

However timid Seraphina was she couldn't tolerate anyone commenting rubbish about her relationship with her mother.

She forgot her fright as she glared at the man spouting nonsense from his mouth.

"Well, for instance you physically look like her but your personality is mah… it doesn't have any spark."

"Don't blame me." The masked man refuted her fiery eyes in his defence. "You are like a soulless puppet."

"Enough!"

The vicious man responded to the argument and ordered the minion to space wrap to cross the distance and leave without any traces behind them.

"But this puppet is annoying."

"Yes, leader. She doesn't look sane. Are higher ups wrong? Can she even start the revolt?"

" Shut up! It is not your turn to comment against the leadership. Just do your own work."

"But.. he is right. This fool…"

"Bob! Quiet."

Seraphina was confused.

Revolt?

What were they talking about? They mentioned black hair and black eyes. They were even mentioning her dead mother.

Was there something she wasn't aware of regarding her mother?

"You guys….are???"

This thought stuck Seraphina and she was stunned as she truly didn't know anything about Selena's past.

She has only seen her mother in pain and suffering. Before her death she asked her to leave Angelos household and study far from them.

There was bare minimum communication between her mother and her.

Her mother had shining dark hair and deep black eyes.

Seraphina has an appearance similar to her mother.

With black hair and black eyes she has features similar to Selena but has an angelic appearance similar to Raphael Angelos.

This was the reason that she never doubted that she was not her father's daughter.

"You are…bb..bl.aack…mageess."

"Ho! Little puppet finally realised who we are. What a slow response!"

"Well done. Little Miss!"

Seraphina was shocked and horrified. Their words confirmed her suspicion.

The vicious leader asked them to tie Seraphina and keep her secure as they were about to space jump and this can take a toll on ordinary people.

Since Seraphina was a normal person she was bound to suffer from the trauma of space jump.

Two men bound her and placed her under the safety device of the spaceship.

Since it was a space jump , it might be riskier to roam around the spaceship. All of them took their position and stood silently to complete the jump.

Seraphina was finally alone as she focused her thoughts on the ring.

She remembered something as she gripped the ring tightly when masked men entered her room and captured her.

She found that the ring was a tool to record voices. When she was tightly clutching the ring a small button under the diamond popped out.

As soon as the masked men left her alone she popped the button out to hear the message inside the tool.

My daughter Seraphina!

I am sorry. I could not be with you at your comping of age ceremony.

Do you remember the drawings that mother used to teach you when you were a child?

Draw those runes and pour your heart blood on the diamond you will get your answer.

Mother can only help you in this way.
