Jacen's POV:
It's boring. I want to kill this history professor. He's making me stay here while my girl is out somewhere. Why am I staying here? Why am I attending this class? I want to end Dorothy's life. Iam going insane. It's stressful. I never felt like this. This is torture. Did the Queen talk with Dorothy? What is the King doing? Why they both aren't taking any sudden action to save their daughter?
" Turn to page 356," the professor said as I heard some murmuring voices over everywhere.
" I said page 356. What's there to talk about ?" he shouted as the murmuring decreased and a girl answered him.
" We are talking about Sydney. There's a rumor that she's the princess,"
" That's none of your concerns," he replied but went silent, closing the book.
" Iam sorry for her. I don't know whether she's the princess but I heard something bad happened to her. I don't know the whole news," he said in pity. No one needs to have sympathy for he
Sydney's POV:" What's the deal?" I raised my eyebrow. I know there's behind for helping me. He sharply inhaled and spoke." I will help you to bring your guardian back alive...If only you help me get back my life. I want to live,"" That's...Don't you know there will be many consequences for bringing back one life? How can I bring back two lives?" I asked with wide-open eyes. He's insane. I don't need to help a total stranger and bear the consequences for the rest of my life." So what? Without my help, you will be tied up here forever. Iam helping you. Just return the favor, Sapphire," he used my real name this time. It feels unfamiliar to me." What about your sister and uncle?" he hesitated to answer my question." Bring me back. That's enough," he said after a minute." Selfish asshole. You want to leave your sister here and save yourself. What kind of brother are you? I can't believe you came to Slateville to save your sister. I
Jacen's POV:" I was born ready," I replied Cassie. My brother, Amelia, and I reached the hall where all year students are seated. They are all chatting, laughing happily. But Iam not in the mood for it. I can only expect the worse." I can't believe Dorothy returned," Amelia said. She isn't angry now. We can't be angry with each other we need to be together to find Sydney." Indeed, she returned," Noah told. Amelia knows what happened when we are with Kassidy and the Queen." Where is the Queen? There's no sign of her and Kassidy?" Noah said after a pause of silence in three of us." I don't know," I answered looking at Dorothy and Cassie on the stage. There's no sign of Peter too. She is planning something bad and worse." Silence," Dorothy shouted in the mike silencing everyone. She took a deep breath and smiled in our direction before starts speaking." I know you are all clueless about what's going on. I will te
Sydney's POV:" I...I.." I stammered. Iam not sure of that answer. I got no time to think about him but I miss Jacen. If I think too much about him, I will suffer from not seeing him. I know he will be trying to bring me back from hell which is not going to happen. Now all my thoughts need to stay on Lydia. That's the only way to get her back. If I succeeded in it, everything will return to normal.I missed one important thing. Dorothy, Pamela, and Cassie escaped. How can they escape after killing my aunt? I can't return to a normal lifestyle until I search for them and kill Pamela. She's my main target. I don't care about going to jail after murdering her." You what, Sapphire? Don't stop in the beginning. You want to get back to your ex-boyfriend or not," Mason muttered next to my ear waking me up from my non-stop thoughts." That's none of your business. Shut up and lead the way," I snapped without looking at how he responses to my words.
Jacen's POV:Before spending time packing our bags, we roamed the whole academy searching for the Queen, King, or Kassidy. All the students are dispersed and started attending the next class. We kept on looking in different directions." Hey, man. What did Dorothy announce after we left?" I grabbed Sebastian's arm and asked him." Hmm...I don't know. Did you leave the hall?" he questioned me back without being aware of what's happening in the academy." Of course I did. Now answer me," I urged him running out of time." I guess...Iam not sure of what answer you want. Anyways, is that true Sydney's an imposter. I never doubted that from seeing her appearance. Dorothy said she's a lion in a sheep's..." he stopped when I interrupted him." Go fuck yourself. It's my fault. I should have not asked you," I snapped walking away from this stupid male witch. He knows Sydney but now he doesn't believe Sydney is not an imposter. It seems like everyone
Sydney's POV:" Her name is Riley. I met her in 10th grade. I don't know how everything happened so fastly. But we can't resist each other. She's been with me all the time. The two persons I can trust with my whole life is Riley and Pheobe.""What about your parents?" I interrupted him. The look on his face answered my question. He must have lost his parents. Just like me, but my life is different from his." Iam sorry,"" It's okay. I don't want any sympathy for me. After I died, Uncle helped me to watch what's going on Earth from a Magical crystal. That's when I know, Riley moved on. According to the news, I and Pheobe are missing. The detectives are searching but can't find a single clue about us. It's good. They will never find us. What's there to bother if I have no one to care about me on Earth?" he said emotionally. I want to make him feel better. I don't know how to encourage Mason." Riley must really care about you. You can't decide
Jacen's POV:The bodyguard blankly stared at me as he's hypnotized. Noah compelled the other bodyguard. The next moment we entered the prison, glancing at many cells." Is it a place to study or what? Why there are many prisoners? I don't think they are all guilty," Noah complained while looking at every starving and pale face." Dorothy may have kept these innocent persons here in the cell. But why did Victoria allowed to have a prison in the Academy?" I questioned like the fault lies on Sydney's mother." Victoria must have had this place for Dorothy and Pamela like bitches. It's not the Queen's fault, Jacen," Amelia said as we walked down the long hallway." Please get us out," someone spoke in a whisper. We three turned to see a man. He looked so thin. He must not have eaten anything for days." Why are you all being kept here?" Amelia asked a question, keeping a hand on the rusted cell bar." We did nothing. Most of us are
Jacen's POV:Noah charged forward in a blink of an eye. That's when I heard a lot of noise outside the room. All the prisoners are escaping at the same time. We can leave the academy while mingling with the others." Ahhh," I heard a girl's scream in the disastrous prison. Amelia got shot. Dammit." Oh my god, Amelia," Noah shouted and headed towards Amelia, leaving Kassidy alone. Okay. The situation gets worse. She's shot at her hand and she can't heal like us." We need to leave the Academy," I told Kassidy as I untied her in a hurry." What? Where's the Queen? Iam not leaving," she refused as she struggled to walk on her feet." It's not the right time to discuss this," I yelled as she leaned on me for balance. She can barely walk. How are we going to escape from here?" Don't let them leave. Call Dorothy now," Pamela ordered in a desperate situation. She can rather die. I hope we get out and she dies here. She doesn't deserve this
Sydney's POV:The cell closed. We are locked. Mason and I. Alone with those scary skeletons." It's all because of you," Mason complained, with his hands on the bar of the cell. The carriage moved forward slowly." Don't blame me. We got free transportation," I said, looking the outside view of hell. Hell's not that bad." Whatever. Nothing's going to change now,". He let out a sign and started gazing outside. My mind started to think about my friends. I want to know what they are doing now. What will my mom be doing now? I know she will be angry about jumping into the portrait. But she will be in misery too. She lost me once. Now it's twice. This time I can take care of myself." Another soul. Is it dead or alive?" I heard a hoarse voice again. The same dead skeleton opened the cell. Am I getting out or we reached the Queen's castle? Instead, a girl was about to enter our cell. Phoebe." How...how..phoebe..." Mason stammered as he slammed his
Sydney's POV:We all are speechless. My mom and dad don't know about anything that happened in hell. They are looking at me for answers. I'm looking at Jacen. How am I going to answer them in front of Cassie? Dorothy's dead. Those demon girls killed her. It's not their fault. They helped us. Dorothy tried to kill us all. She had the wrong motive. We don't." I killed her." Jade boldly told like she did a great job." What? why did you do that? Why...you murderers..." she sobbed and fell down on her knees. Jade should have not spoken harshly to her. No matter how much I hate her. I know her pain. I had the pain of losing my parents. Atleast I got them back but she won't." What happened in hell, Sydney? How did you get out? I don't understand anything. Who're that two girls? Why did they kill Dorothy? You need to explain a lot." my mom filled me with many questions. It all needs to be answered." I will fill you with everything, mom. We
Sydney's POV:Two days later:Time has gone way too fast. Everything's back to normal. Jacen died and I brought him back. But that guilt of watching him die is still killing me. It won't fade away in a day. It may take a longer time to heal. But what matters the most is everyone I loved is safe and sound. I also brought Lydia and Mason back. Things that seem too impossible happened in a way I never expected it to happen. I only thought of one thing. If I win, Lilith needs to bring back the life of Lydia and Mason and get us back to Slateville. But I was the one who did it all. Somehow, that demon helped me to get all of this. If she didn't take all the powers from Lilith, I wouldn't have got the powers to bring their lives back. Now it happened. We are back in the greatest witch house. Jacen told that's where they found the portal to hell. But I heard one bad news, that so-called greatest witch died after a few days. Nina told us. She should rest in peace. She li
Jacen's POV:" Get your hands off my neck, idiot. I can kill you in a flash of seconds. Back off now," Sydney warned me. I stepped back, by keeping all the anger inside me. We are so close to escaping from hell. But what's the use in running away without Sydney. That's not going to happen even in the parallel universe." So, you are not going to give her body back," I muttered." Nope. Never." she smiled at me." Then this will have to do to get Sydney back," I murmured and picked up the stake. We killed Dorothy and Pamela. They don't get a chance to kill us with this stake. Maybe I could kill myself. I know I sound crazy. But watch me." What are you doing, bro? Put the stake down." Noah ordered me. I can see the fear in his face. Right now, he would have known that I'm going to go something which harms my life.I turned back to face Sydney. To face that demon who's staying in my girlfriend's body. " I know you can hear me, baby. I know you
Jacen's POV:" I will not surrender no matter what. Do whatever you can. I'm not giving up, Succubi," Lilith boldly told. But she doesn't use the name Sydney. It's clearly not my Sydney." If that's your decision, then I can gladly proceed to the further process," Sydney said, lifting her hands. This time I didn't saw the blue flame. Instead, her palms observed all the power from Lilith. the flame slowly and steadily travelled from Lilith to Sydney. Sydney doesn't have any powers to observe other powers." What the hell is happening? What is she doing? Answer me," I shouted at Lydia. She must have to know the answer." I don't know. I never saw something like this in my whole life. Sydney's born in a royal family. But I don't think she knows to steal someone's power. Whoever's controlling her must be stronger and must have lived for many centuries. We did a big mistake by finding a way to open this door. Now, I don't even have my powers
Sydney's POV:I spotted a single hammer on the left side. I lifted it and looked at the mirror." I think we should not break it. That will release all the souls in this room. Do you think this is a good idea?" Grandpa asked her." This is the only thing we can do. Do you have any better idea?" Grandma asked him. I stood with the hammer, letting them decide something. Suddenly, some unknown voice ringed in my ears." This is a good idea. Do it. I will have my revenge on Lilith. I can't wait for it to happen. I will make sure she will end up dead."" Who's that?" I asked approached a mirror next to the mirror where my grandparents are standing." She's Succubi. This is what I'm talking about. Releasing a soul like hers will bring a problem to Sydney. We can't let someone harm our granddaughter." Grandpa told sternly. She looked dangerous, evil and hot just like Lilith. I have zero per cent of trust in her." So, what are we
Sydney's POV:I don't want to die. Lilith is desperate to kill me. But now I know why she's hesitating to do that. Whatever Jacen heard in that guest room is right. She's not going to kill me until I accept to give all my powers to her which Iam going to do that. I can rather die. I couldn't hide forever. I can't able to fight her. It's been an hour. She's strong as she looks at the beginning of the fight. Iam looking so tired, powerless, hopeless and helpless. I can't spot any of my friends. I can't even imagine them being dead. No. They won't. They can't die. If they aren't dead why can't spot them anywhere? Why didn't they came to find me? What if something wrong happened? Right now, Iam halfway to the hall of mirrors. Can I reach it in time?" Stop running, darling. You have two choices. Come and give me your powers instead of hiding. Or run as much as you can until I find you. My first option will be easier for you. You won't feel the pain while Iam killing you. D
Jacen's POV:" How dare you...Pheobe doesn't need to get burnt like that. You are a heartless bitch," Sydney shouted from the top of my throat. I can still hear Phoebe's scream and Mason's cry. It's cruel. I can't control Mason or assure him in this state. He's on the floor crying so hard for losing his sister." This is going to be your situation and everyone's situation," Lilith told Sydney and snapped her hands as the guards and skull men's marched after us." This isn't good. Sydney can't manage Lilith on her own. I need to help her." I panicked and stepped forward instead of running away from the guards." No, this is not the right time. If we mingle in the fight, it will destroy our whole plan. Let Sydney find the hall of mirrors. We need to run." Noah wisely advised. We all ready to run but Mason was desperate. He's not willing to run. We can't let him stay and run." Mason, get up. We can deal with the issue later." I urged him.
" She's such a stupid witch. She's trying to raise her voice against us even after I killed her. What a stupid persons?" I talked with Dorothy while walking on our way back to the guest room. Dorothy stopped from hurting Lydia as I already hit her to the unconscious stage. I did the best to protect us." Yeah. Leave it. What were we talking before hearing that scream?" Dorothy asked to my astonishment. She still remembers that. That's good. I got one thing to tell Dorothy in my mind voice ' You are the real stupid who can't identify the person you are talking with. You can only identify it if you really know them and care for them. Dorothy never cared for anyone than Cassie. That's the bitter truth." You said that the hall of mirrors is on the ground floor. But you didn't say what spell you used? I must have known the spell. Iam a great witch too." I said proudly about myself." It's Anoíxte ti mystikí pórta. You know that right?" she quest
Jacen's POV:" Pamela's unconscious. I hope Sydney finishes her job as soon as she can." I muttered to myself. My brother and Amelia are taking care of Mason and Pheobe while Kassidy, Lydia, Jade and I are watching Pamela. I'm worried about my girlfriend. I don't know how she's managing her time with Dorothy. What if that cunning bitch found out that it's not Pamela but Sydney? The worst-case scenario." Oh, god! She's waking up." Kassidy frowned." We can manage her. She's tied-up. She can't escape no matter how much she tries." I assured her." Don't forget that Iam here. I can beat and knock her out again."" I already told you not to do that, Jade. That's my girlfriend's body. I don't want you to harm her body." I scowled." Whatever. Don't ask me if she makes a problem again. My job is done here. I will meet you all tomorrow. Don't forget the deal or you can't deal with the consequences. You know what I mean," Jade warned me and slammed
