After War

THIRD PERSON'S POV:

The cage in the body seemed fragile towards them. Patricia and Ruby. Who was caged in their own body? Suffocated and broken as someone else took over them.

PATRICIA'S POV IN VOID STATE:

I was not sure what was going on with me, Something powerful was taking over me, letting me fall into utter darkness. All I can feel is I am falling and falling. I have been taken control once again. And this time, I can feel the rage inside of the one with who I was connected. Death.

I couldn't do anything as my fragile body let her take over me once again. I have no power to fight with them. I was a slave after all. For a semi-conscious state, I could feel that I was killing people.

Blood was being dripped out from my hands.

"Mommy....!!!! Come back... I am sacred mommy"

I heard a faint voice while I was in a void state. I couldn't recognise the voice, but the voice was so sweet to my ears... Like I have known this voice for years. Do I know the owner of this voice? Why does it feel so calm and at the same time, make me feel so worried?

"Mommy no...."

He screamed. Why does my heart shatter into pieces hearing his voice?

It is cold here. Freezing. Still, the voice holds warmth in it. Who is he?

A sudden bubble formed inside the vast space as I float like nothing. I saw a face. I child. He seemed so much known to me, but my brain couldn't recognise him. His face was so peaceful that It was pulling me in a bond.

Who is he? Where am I? What is going on?

In this freezing zone, a light appeared. A bright light started to form. It was so warm.

Faint voices start coming from there.

" Mommy... catch me..." His giggling filled my ears. It felt so soft.

"Mommy I am hungry..." I saw a girl who was taking him in her arms.

" I will protect Mommy" His face brightened as the woman laughed at her.

My heart started filling with an unknown sadness while I look at their special bond.

Suddenly the scene shifted into a place, where there were dead bodies all around. The child was running in fear of something. he was running away with his all might. Then the bubble shifted to the next person. It was the same woman I saw him with. She was filled with blood in her hands as she chased him. her eyes were stone white.

It was me!!! The woman was me. I was chasing the kid. I have blood in my hands. I am a killer. I recognised it now. He is my son, Jonathan!!!!

I cried inside the vast space as nobody could hear me here. I focused with all my might and tried to float towards the light. I have to save him. I somehow reached the light as it filled my eyes until I could see no more.

RUBY'S POV:

Where am I?

It is dark and cold here. I looked at my surroundings and I saw I was floating in a vast space. There was no one around to hear me or I could share my thoughts with. What is happening to me?

Am I dead?

I could feel nothing at this point. Darkness had already engulfed me.

There was this feeling of nothingness that was killing me. Where am I?

I was slowly drawing towards sleep. A 'sleep' that I probably would never wake up from.

Suddenly a light ignited in the middle of darkness. A bright light formed making me confused.

There was a scene forming inside that bright light. A lady who was running in the middle of the night with an infant baby in her hand. It was raining heavily as the thunders were craking from the dark sky.

Who was she?

She reached near a small town as she looked restless and tired. It was maybe because of her running from earlier. She looked around the town hoping for someone she could seek help from. But at this hour no one was available. She ran to a near house in the thought of taking shelter.

Within a few knocks, an old lady opened the door.

"Nana"

She is the one who looked after me all these years.

Nana took her in for the night as she went inside the small hut along with the baby. By the time, it was might night, I saw her again. She was looking a little worried and sad. She sneakingly looked outside the hut and escaped from there. She ran and ran until the small town become invisible to her sight.

She was crying. She was having the feeling of guilt. She was in her vulnerable state.

As time pass by, she reached another town. She was roaming around the city with her broken face. Her eyes met an infant boy who was lying down in a small house. She looked to find if anyone is present there or not and went towards him when she confirmed no one is there.

She looked at the infant boy as he smiled at her. She looked around and took the baby in her hand and ran away. She ran until she left behind the town a long way.

**********

The scene shift towards the next when she is in front of a man. Looked like her husband. He took the baby in his hands and smiled. He seemed happy.

" Is this my son?" he asked with tears of joy in his eyes.

" Yes," The lady answered. She tried to hold the tears.

**********

"You need to kill your child" A lady roared looking at her. She kept standing in fear and tears in her eyes.

She seemed struggling between her master's order and her consciousness.

"But..." She tried to speak but was cut off by her master " Kill him now"

The little child looked at her innocently as he had no idea what was going on. She stood up taking a dagger in her hand and slowly walked towards him. She sat on his level as the boy looked at her smiling. Tears fell on her cheeks and she tugged the boy in her arms for the last time before she put the dagger in his heart.

The little body of the boy lay on the floor lifelessly as the man just walked in the meantime. He hated the sight of her. She tried to speak but held back. She knew nothing would work now. Silently she kept her head down.

The man left her and she was thrown out of that place.

The little girl she left earlier was no other than me. Does this mean she is my mother? and he was my dad? I was confused about what to feel right now. This is the first time I saw my parents, but I was so helpless to even talk to them or touch them.

She didn't abandon me. She saved me. My father... he never knew me.

Tears started rolling down my cheeks as I was angry by the evil's doing I wanted to avenge. I forced all my strength to reach the light. Until it let my eyes flash to see nothing but the bright light.

***********************************************************************************************

SHAWNA'S POV:

With a loud burst, I saw Aya explode along with Amira and Georgia. I fell on my knees as I was totally drained out... The war was finally over. Once again good had won over evil. Finally, the plaque that lingered around this world for 300 years is gone.

I slowly lift my head towards Priam who looked exhausted and hurt. Blood was dripping from his head and arms but he managed to give me a smile.

"We won Priam," I said while smiling back at him. He nodded with exhaustion.

Junnie fell down unconscious as Brad limped towards her. He took her head in his laps and cried-" Junnie... Don't leave me, baby. I am so sorry to ignore the feeling I have for you. I finally understood what you mean to me. I love you Junnie. Please, baby... Open your eyes... Look at me."

She was too weak to open her eyes as Brad kept calling at her.

"Is she okay?" He looked up at me asking in a nervous tone. I wasn't been able to answer him anything because I was not sure anything.

Gina appeared there as Brad hopefully looked at her. Gina bend to her level and held her hands looking for her powers.

"I am sorry"

"NOOOOO" Brad cried. I couldn't control my tears too. I have lost Granny too, I don't want to lose my best friend.

Brad held her in his chest and kiss her for the last time. He took out a silver blade and was going to make it through his heart but at the same time, something shines. Junnie began to glow as she flew above in the air. We confusingly looked at her as we saw how she gained back her powers with a moist explosion within her.

Her eyes fell on Brad and she replied-" I love you too".

Her lips landed on her as we saw them united. Priam came towards me and hugged me from the side.

Jordan was weak but he held Jennifer in his arms. She was just unconscious from earlier. John and William were hurt but they were okay.

We lost so many people that it was uncountable. Professor Dunston died while saving the tomb when Georgia attack the school. But Professor Dunston gave up her life to protect the sacred tomb.

The soldier finally breathe in safe air as I banished the fire cumulated with poison.

The WitchLand is finally free from evil. But I had to pay the price. I still didn't have the courage of the deal I had made with Lucifer to Priam. I will protect my baby no matter what. Moreover, Now that the evil has been left, No one will ever be able to come to this world as we closed down all the portals, apart from the Elfland.

We gave a proper burial and respect to all those who gave up their life for us. Granny's tomb was placed just after my dad's and mom's.

"Forever belonged in our hearts"
