The Escape

Moon elves. I didn't know much about them, but as I have heard from Priam over their conversation, they are one of the strongest and powerful elves. They have the strongest blue magic that if compared to witches, Elves are much stronger with their natural powers. They were the ancestors of the half Elves, more tolerant of humans. As I have heard Priam and Jordan discussing that they were once known as the high elves and used to be called Eladrin.

The myth of Elves was still a mystery for me. I didn't know much about them, nor did I know much about her. Looking at Sheera, remind me of my childhood. She looked more like a human than an Elves. Her resemblance was more like me.

Her Silver hair and porcelain skin was ragged by dust. She looked tired and hungry. There were dark circles around her eyes. Looked like she haven't slept all day.

As much as I have heard about Sheera from Jordan and Jennifer that she was just a 9-Year-old kid. Looking at her somehow made me spark my emotional values. I hugged her the next second holding her securely in my arms. Suddenly I wanted to cry. Cry looking at her situation. She doesn't deserve this. She was supposed to enjoy her childhood, learn and laugh. Rather she was abducted and abused.

We broke the hug as I caress her head. I asked looking at her-" Are you okay? Jordan and Jennifer were looking for you. We were looking for you!!!"

She gave a little nod. Her little doe eyes made my heartache. She was beautiful even in that state. How can someone hurt a kid like her? Well, there he was The Venom. The merciless person. He can certainly do anything. All I could do that time is console her. I said-" Don't worry we will get out of here okay?"

She looked at me with her doe eyes and said-" Come". She didn't say anything and began to pull me by my hands. I followed her with a frown. But as soon as we stopped my eyes widened. There was a bunch of kids locked in a dark cell. As soon as they saw me, they cried and jumped up to the front. There was hope and terror in their eyes at the same time.

Why wouldn't it be? They were finally happy to see someone who could help them, but at the same time, they were scared as they were in the lion's den. How can I save them? I have to... They are my responsibility now. I just cannot let them be...

But how? How will I save all of them and myself?

For some reason, I was missing Priam. I want him to come and save me. I was missing his touch... His voice... all of him.

Ughhhh... How can I be thinking about him right now?. Probably he is the reason I am here.. All of this... It's his fault... I hate myself for loving him so hard that still at this stage I am thinking about him.

Jokes on me, will he come? Nah... Probably he is fucking that Cindy right now... He wouldn't know that I am missing all this time... Junnie... Will she notice? Grandma? Someone? Please I need help...

One of the kids asked me in his little scared voice-" W-will you s-save us from here?"

What should I reply to him? He looked scared and pale, maybe he was beaten and abused over here. I just nodded my head while holding back my tears. I couldn't reply. The lumps in my throat were preventing me to speak anything.

Sheera said-" Don't worry she is the queen of WitchDom. She will help us!!!"

She was a strong girl. I loved that about her. Yes, I have to help them. And I will. I don't know-how. How will I ever get them out from here?

Without a second thought I tried to open the gate they were locked in. How I wish, I would have my golden wand right now, none of these would have been an issue. I was thinking all of these when a voice made us turn back in fear.

It was a creature, that I have never seen before, his legs were not visible, he was kind of floating in the air. His face was hidden by the long black hood, and he was holding a sphere in his hand. what is he?

His deep voice said-" Stay where you are...". We froze where we were, an unpleasant shiver runs through my spine. I dared to ask-"W-what are you?"

He replied-" Death". Sheera was scared by his sight as she quickly hid behind me. I understood. She was only a child. But for her age, she was enough brave. It was my turn to protect them now.

I gulped down my fear as I said-" Do not dare to touch any of them... or else, I will have you kill you."

He didn't look affected by my threats as he stood still. He sighed as his muscles relaxed and a small smirk crept up in his lips. " kill me? And how would you do that Queen? You don't have any powers now. You are just a useless queen. You must return to where you come from!!!". He said while taking his steps towards me.

The dare he had made me angry. True that I didn't have any powers now. But that doesn't mean I am useless. I am the Queen of WitchDom. I have earned this position by blood and sweet. No matter if I don't own the golden wand now. I am still a queen.

I frowned at him and replied with a stern voice-" I am useless or not, we will see that"

I have to show my ability. I have to save them all. I guarded Sheera behind me as I took the position. I was unarmed, while he had his firm hands on his sphere. He took the position to attack me, as I kept my eyes on him.

After I have lost the golden wand, I didn't give up. True that I don't have powers like before and I never use any other wand. But I have learned to fight. My grandma had taught me the best fighting skills and I was sure about it.

His attacks were predictive, as I successfully could dodge the first two. Eyes were still on his every move. The third attack he gave with all his strength and his sphere hurt my arms, as I fell. Blood oozed out as I immediately covered it with my right hand. I was scared now. Not for me, but the one who is inside of me. No matter what he/she is still my blood. I looked up at him with pleaded eyes, but he was not getting affected by that, as he slowly took his steps towards me for the final attack.

" Kill me, but let these kids leave"- I said to distract him.

He smirked and replied-" No one is going anywhere". And with that, he held up his sphere to attack me as I close my eyes waiting for the death. After a few moments, when I couldn't feel anything, I slowly opened my eyes and saw his tall figure was lying on the ground soullessly. I was confused. What just happened? I looked up to gather the knowledge as I saw Felix.

He was standing at the door. His eyes were furious and his hands were still on the air gesturing he just killed the man.

Did he just kill his man for me? Why? Is he a psychopath? I am sure he is. I slowly stood up. His eyes were still red. He finally sighed as he asked-" Are you okay?"

I couldn't answer him. I didn't want to. His eyes soften when he looked at my arms which was hurt by his man. He asked-" This is strange... I cannot read your thoughts anymore...."

Was that a good thing? Maybe yes. I almost forgot he can read my every thought. Well... Did he hear the thought of us planning to escape? No... He said he cannot hear it anymore... But why suddenly? Is he lying? He can be... He is not trustable at all...

I was lost in my thought that I didn't notice when he came closer to me. He gripped my arms carefully as he held his wand and cast- " Sana".

The open would heal slowly. The pain was gone. I looked up at him in confusion and asked-" Why are you acting you are trying to save me when you kidnapped me to kill me here?!!! Stop with your pretending... I am tired... Every time I remember how foolishly I trusted you, every time I feel like killing myself..."

I couldn't hold my emotions any longer as I blurted out everything. His eyes were different. They have some sort of guilt and agony in them. No... I shouldn't get fooled by him again... I said-" What are you going to do with this kids? Why did you abduct them?"

This time his eyes become cold again. He turned to Sheera, glancing at her tiny scary figure. I went before her, hiding her behind me and said-" Don't you dare to hurt them... or else...."

His eyes shot at me and replied-" Or what princess? Kill me? Well... I cannot be killed... This is why I am invincible... Don't forget... I am a tribrid now...No one can kill me..." The next moment his eyes fell soften again and he continued-" I will be living this life again and again.. without any pause... and this is why they are using me"

" Who is using you? What are you talking about?"- I asked in confusion. His words seemed to have another side story. Am I missing anything? Was I misjudging him? No... He killed my Dad. How can even I think he is innocent? He is Venom!!!

" Welcome back Queen Parshawna...!!!!"- A voice echoed from behind. I knew this voice... I have heard it before... I quickly turned back to make sure I am hearing it correctly. And then from a shadow, a woman came forth.

"Aya!!"- I gasped. the evil is here. The one who shows no mercy. Felix is alive and so is Aya... Does that means... Georgia?

"No... Thanks to you my daughter is not here. Though she is my creation, she was annoying!!!. This is why I didn't mean to bring her back."- She answered with a smirk at me. She guessed it by my expression. I was too confused. Her eyes were showing pure evil. She was just the same. The evil aura behind her was shining in a dark glimpse.

How is she even alive? What am I supposed to do now? The murderer of my parents was just before me and I am such a weak daughter, that couldn't even do anything right now.

"What are you going to do with us?"- I dared to ask. My voice was broken due to the anxiety I was having. She smirked and replied-" I have nothing to do with you as of now. Felix brought you here for her enjoyment... and For these kids... they are going to be my sacrifice."

My eyes widened to hear all this. Sacrifice? What sacrifice? What are they even up to? I took a glance at the kid's whose face was showing terror of the p[people in front of them.

"Leave them..."- I said.

"Ordering like a queen I see.... tsk tsk tsk... But you know what Shawna? This is not your fucking kingdom!!! This is my den... and you are talking to the soon to be the queen of this whole world."-She roared with furious eyes.

I was just standing there helplessly. What should I do now? I was too shocked to even say anything. " If you want to keep your child safe... Stay out of my business Shawna..."- Aya said with a commanding tone. She knew!!!!

Felix looked confused and looked at me. He asked-"are yo-you pre-pregnant?"

I was not sure to confirm about my child right now. What if they kill... NO... I will never let anyone hurt my child... No matter what.!!!

I looked at Felix blankly. His eyes were showing, confusion, hurt, guilt and anger. The mixed emotions it was giving I didn't feel any good out of it. He left from there without another word.

Aya summoned a few guards as she ordered-" Bring the kids for sacrifice... and keep her here for now.". With that, she left us. Two guards came up and locked me and Sheera with the other kids. They said to each other-" We must move this body first and then we will take the kids". They agreed and went outside.

I was desperate now. I tried to break the gate, but it was useless. The big Iron bars are not my thing to break off. I cannot even imagine how helpless I was feeling right now. The kids started crying out of fear.

I whispered while crying-" Priam... Junnie... Please someone help us !!!!".

After some moment... while spending in thinking what to do, and not finding any way out, I almost gave up. This is the end... But I was determined... If these kids have to die... So will I... I cannot live up to this guilt forever.

I heard a faint gasp from the corner of the cell, as I looked up at the kids. A small light started forming while shining bright... A portal...!!!!!

A small glimpse of hope showed in me as I hurriedly went there... I asked-" Junnie? Priam?".

But no one answered. I backed off, thinking might be this was from Aya or Felix... But the next moment someone called my name inside of it... " Parshawna? Can you hear me? Are you there?"

The voice was unknown but I felt safe towards it. I didn't waste any more time as I replied-" Yes!!! I am here"

The voice said-" Okay... Good... Now come through this portal"

I replied-" Wait...There are many kids with me... They need to get out of here too"

"Okay... But hurry... I cannot hold it for longer... The evil energy there is too much..." She said.

I nodded and looked at the kids. They were confused. But I nodded at them, telling-" It's gonna be fine... You are safe now. Go"

One by one... They started going in... There were approximately 25 kids. I looked at Sheera who was holding his brother in her arms. He looked pale. Sheera said-" He hadn't had any food for days... He is weak. Please help him"

I nodded as I pulled the kid in my arms and said. " Yes, I will... Follow me."

The other kids had left... It was just three of us now. But before we could move. the guards came back... As soon as they saw us leaving, they run towards us. I griped Denver in my arms tightly and went in, I looked back for one last time for Sheera... But it was too late!!!!

They got her... She screamed... But the portal closed slowly... Making her scared face a terror memory to me.

I looked up and saw an Old lady. She smiled and asked-" Welcome Back Queen Parsahwna!!!"
