The Kalis

"Did you just say his knuckles were bleeding after the ground shook? Oh no! They acted too soon it is so unexpected."

I looked at him as he kept mumbling to himself. I was hearing whatever he was saying. "What are you talking about? What do you mean they? Do you know that boy?" I couldn't stop myself from asking all this. He just stayed the way he is."Daniel, Daniel.Talk to me." I kept shaking his arm to get him out if his trance.

"I..I need to report this to Emilia. Crusella should know more about this."

"God damnit are you even listening to me, Daniel?" He looked a little scared and at loss with his eyes wide. "Atleast take me with you to Emil..." I woke up to the cold water that was poured harshly on my face. I was tied with a lock that was burning my skin. It seemed to be extraordinary but I ignored the pain and looked up to see who had the guts to do that to me.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I guess my suspicions were right.

"Remember me, Sama or should I say Emilia?" So that's the issue. Now I get it that they mistake me for Emilia. But what do they want with her? I thought to play Emilia but I don't know if I will cause more harm to myself or survival. He looked at me confused as he looked at my tied wrists. He frowned as if trying to get some things straight. "You're so cunning, Emilia. Who would have thought you found a way to stop my spell? I worked so hard on this one , Emilia."

He spoke with hatred evident in his eyes and words.

How could I be so stupid to go to him for therapy? I know I suspected him but I don't think I wanted it to be true . I had to get to the bottom of this."I just kept wondering if you maybe lost your memory or have an imposter working for you."

He kept looking at me with narrowed eyes that made me quite uncomfortable.

"Why would you make a mistake of walking to me by yourself to seek for help because you went to another world. Of course you're in another world Emilia. Did you think by following us here we wouldn't capture you? Who is stronger now?"

He kept talking but I didn't even look at him.

"There's one thing bothering me, is this really you? Why isn't my spell working on you? I want to see you screaming in pain like our people did in that war. Your hand should be ashes now but why is it still intact? Say something goddamnit."

He shouted at me and I felt the small particles of his saliva cover my face.

I found a little courage and decided to play Emilia. "And so what? You think you can defeat me now? How's your king by the way? Did he escape with you to come here? I'm sure he's still in regret for having accepted that war. I have kept his power very safe so don't worry about that." I tried to sound as fierce as I could although I knew how much I was trembling inside.

EMILIA!!!

He punched the ground in frustration and it cracked. How could I stay in my wits after that? That was frightening. I thought the movies I have watched have really helped me become brave but couldn't keep the scream inside. I saw him raise his head as he glared at me furiously. His eyes were bloodshot red and he looked like he wanted to just eat me alive.

I didn't know by acting fierce and cunning, I would bring myself trouble.

He came closer to me as I heard my heart too active to follow. All I could hear were my own heartbeats in my ears. He came and squatted to my level. He looked at me like he wanted to dip me in hot soup and he started laughing like a maniac.

'My face flushed. Is this man insane? '

He stopped laughing abruptly and I was at a loss of words. His hand went for throat in anger. He squeezed my throat and had me struggling for air. He tilted his head with a smile like he was enjoying the torture.

Sam.....

Sam was moving up and down in the room with a worried look. He lost Sama's location which was very strange. He still had a monitor for her heartbeat and breath though. When he saw it beep with her heartbeat raising, he thought that maybe it was just nothing. But then, he also saw the hagged breaths as she struggled for air. He couldn't see her but his instinct told him that this wasn't anything normal.

He got his car immediately and tracked her using the breath and heartbeat.

Back to Sama...

She rolled her eyes struggling to get even the smallest amount of air down her throat but no. She thought she was on the verge of losing her life when the lunatic man released her. She immediately took in as much as extra. She was panting loudly as the lunatic laughed to it's hearts content.

She only prayed for the heavens to help her.

She didn't even know where she was and she had told Sam she would be out with her friends. 'Where's my phone?' She looked around but she couldn't find it. "There's no escape Emilia. Who would have thought it would be this easy to capture your arrogant self?Hahahaha"

"Let me tell you something. The Kalis will never give up to you. We won't accept a fragile woman like yourself to win over. You are in our hands now, but we won't kill you that easily. We have demands that you must give in to. If you do, we will give you an easy and honourable death. Hahahaha."

He was still laughing when we heard the door to the cell open.

It's the young boy from earlier. His hand was still bleeding a little which meant she hasn't been here for long. The boy whispered something in the lunatic's ear and he nodded."Seems like you've been saved only to hear your death sentence. Carry her to the royal backyard. The king is waiting." he instructed the guards outside.

I was dragged to the king unknowingly.

The king signaled for the guards and servants to leave us alone. When I looked up I was so much surprised. Here I thought I would see an ugly old man drooling on himself but that was a very opposite case. He is such a handsome man that you may think he should be given an award for that.

"It seems you've stopped taking care of yourself, Emilia. You never used to let even a single flaw on yourself but look now. Is it because you don't know the ways of this side, my love?"he was brushing the back of his hand on my cheeks. I was left agape. 'What the hell is not happening right now? Did he just say my love? Now I really need to meet this Emilia that is putting me in such trouble and confusion.

"Tsk ,who would have thought you were serious about the war? Things were going on smoothly and I had you in my grip but you are so cunning. How could you reject such a handsome face, huh?"

He brought his face closer and. I took a step backward. He chuckled.

"Still the same old love of my life." I need an explanation for all this before my brain bursts with questions. "Tell me something. How do you manage to keep yourself young and most beautiful?" He was so gentle which got me even the more confused. It seems no one else knew about this apart from Emilia and the king.

He kept coming closer and I hit the wall eventually as he wanted.

I used to read this in books. He trapped me between his arms looking me in the eye. I couldn't deny the fact that he was so handsome though. He brushed his lips on my forehead and I felt the shiver. Who could reject such a beauty? Is Emilia dumb?

"If only you had accepted to be mine, we could rule Oak together. All this wouldn't have happened, Emilia." His voice was low and deep. It was a little seductive.

The tips of our noses touched as I controlled my breathing." Be mine."

His lips touched mine slightly and he looked at me straight in my eyes. "I want the best for my kingdom the same as you do yours." Did Emilia even have a kingdom? I only knew three people. Was that the meaning of a kingdom? He licked my bottom lip and I just kept like a statue. I was helpless at that time and I just couldn't think.

He sucked on my lip and kissed me passionately. I was starting to respond when I remembered my situation.

I pushed at his chest far away from me. The kiss left me a little drowsy but that was normal for such a handsome man. "I am your enemy." I sneered.

He was smiling."I'm so glad you enjoyed the kiss this time, Emilia. We could do more than that if we join hands and get married. It could be a great empire." Was this man okay? I just said we're enemies. Did he hear that.

He got up on his feet came closer but this time I didn't let him touch me.

"Don't you dare!" He was indeed too beautiful but I needed to think rationally. He was still smiling as kept advancing towards me. There was a commotion outside and we were both alarmed. The king opened the door that led to the royal weapons.

He gave me sword and he got daggers. "I hope to trust you again.

We moved out of the room and found the guards on the ground injured. We moved further in the palace to the cell I was locked in. I knew I wouldn't be able to fight anyone cause I had no skills whatsoever but I had watched enough movies to learn a little.

There was white wind that was throwing small blades in the room. It was misty and we had to cover our eyes.
