Lyra's POV:
I opened my eyes to find myself in the void again.
Why was I brought here?
There was an eerie feeling; it was almost ominous.
I looked around and saw two people who looked exactly like my mother but with some…modifications.
The one to my right had a silver ring floating above her head with white wings like that of a dove and her eyes were white and glowing.
She had a totally different aura from her twin that was by my left.
That one had dark wings and it was like that of a bat and her eyes were pitch black.
"w-who are you?" I asked, nervously approaching them.
"we…are your sixth senses. We take control in times of emergency" they said in unison.
"but why am I here? Why can I see you? What do you want?"
"you have to let me take over! Let me give that witch a taste of her own medicine. She'll pay for all she has done" the demonic version of my mother growled.
"don't listen to her Lyra. I'm sure there has to be a smarter and better way to resolve this"
"by letting her kill you? Do you really want to wait for death?" the demon asked.
I was about to answer when I snap pulled me out of my daze; making me scream so hard.
"glad to see you up…shall we continue?" the witch smiled at me.
This has been my life for the past week…nonstop torture.
Hellen and the witch keep coming up with new ways to make me scream and cry.
No matter how much I beg them, they always cheer and laugh when I'm in so much pain.
The snap I heard came from my arm.
She had bent it in an odd angle and it popped.
"oh don't be a baby; I'll put it right back" she twisted it so it sat right this time.
"I wonder which part of you I should break first; your mind or your body. You know this would have ended sooner" Hellen moved closer to me, her shoes clicking against the floor.
"I-I can't go into the sixth sense even if I wanted to!" I tried to be as audible as possible.
My throat was sore from all the screaming I've been doing.
"then we have no choice but to continue" there was a wicked smile on her face.
I felt something sharp come in contact with my thigh.
One of the guards had pushed a spear through it.
The pain was nerve wrecking.
My body began moving on its own; thrashing about trying to make it go away but it didn't work.
He slowly pulled it out and I was on the verge of going insane!
"please…just stop!"
"you poor thing…I'm not stopping till you cry blood" and a spear went through my second thigh…
............…....
Sam's POV:
Maybe what Cyrus said was true.
Maybe I am a plague and as useless as anything and I should just do myself in so everyone can be happy.
After all, I've failed to protect my little sister and one of my closest friends.
I had spoken to the king to organize a rescue mission as soon as possible.
If we waste time, no one knows if Lyra would survive everything.
I was pulled out of my thoughts by the sounds of footsteps.
"what do you want?" I snapped without turning back to see who it was.
I had disappointed everyone that I didn't think I could look anyone in the face; especially Jackie.
I betrayed her just as Philip did.
There is barely any difference between what she told me and what I did to Lyra.
I don't think I can ever forgive myself.
The steps got closer and closer but I still didn't care to know who it was.
"I SAID GO AWAY!" I yelled and turned around.
My eyes met with a pair of blind ones.
"J-Jackie? I'm sorry; I didn't know it was you" I'm sure she's here to give me a tongue lashing…but I guessed I deserved it and worse.
"why didn't you tell anyone about this? We could have found someone that would have broken her tracking magic-"
"she still had my sister! Even if I wanted to tell someone, I couldn't. It was jus…too much"
The Jackal didn't say anything for a while,
"she was killed right in front of me. After everything I had done; it was all for nothing" despair was laced in my voice.
"I honestly don't blame you" she moved closer and held my hand.
"I don't think anyone would have done different if they were in your shoes. Besides, Hellen betrayed you. Don't be so hard on yourself. It wasn't your fault"
"but I want to make it up to her. Even if we CAN rescue her, I'm not sure she'll find it in her heart to forgive me"
"let's focus on rescuing her first before all that…alright?" she kissed my cheek and a small smile crept on my face.
"thank you. You know I wasn't even expecting you to forgive me I mean I was exactly like Phillip-"
"but you did it to save someone…he did it out of his own selfish interests" she smiled genuinely at me.
My hands cupped her face and kissed her passionately on the lips.
I had never taken her lips in mine before; at least not this long.
The Jackal isn't exactly in touch with her emotions so her kissing me back was actually mind blowing.
I couldn't help but snake my arm around her waist and pull her closer to deepen the kiss.
Her hands began to roam my chest and I almost ran wild with pleasure.
We pulled away to catch our breaths before leaning our foreheads atop one another; eyes closed.
"could I stay with you tonight? I'm not in the mood to be alone" she asked and there was no way I could refuse her offer.
"of course" I smiled; with her hand in mine, I walked in the direction of my room and shut the doors behind me.
I turned around to see Jackie standing totally naked before me and I immediately looked away with my face all red.
"I want you...I'm sure of it" she closed the gap between us.
The feeling of her breasts on my chest made my blood hot.
With a sigh, I kissed her and edged her to move towards my bed which she complied to.
I detached and watched her back touch the bed while I undressed.
"have you ever done this before?" I asked as I climbed over her and wasn't shocked when she said no.
I knew she was blind so she couldn't see…IT but she was definitely going to feel it.
I planted kisses all over her neck and chest.
Jackie would sigh and give a breathy moan in content and it make me smile with pride.
After teasing her for a while, I stationed myself at her entrance before asking if she was ready.
The simple nod she gave made me thrust slowly into her.
She bit her lip ever so slightly, enduring the pain as I continued to pump in and out of her.
Nothing could make me happier than being her one and only.
