Thirteen

Suddenly, a strong wind blew past. We stood still awaiting whatever it brings. We're stuck and that's it.

“Katty! Katty!” a very familiar voice called out.

That's Sylvia's voice, how did she get here?

“my mum, she's here”I could see her from a distance now.

He arched a brow. “your mum? ”

Sylvia moved closer to us. Her face was lit.  She embraced me though I was too surprised to speak.

“mum! ”I gasped.

  I sat straight up in bed, breathing hard. I looked around disoriented. I woke up with a sharp grip in my chest. It's been a long time since I woke up with this. I just hope all is well with me. I noticed a figure by my bed side. Mum, she's here, for how long exactly? I wiped the cool sweet from my temple and sat on the edge of the bed. Judging from the light and after checking the clock, it was late, 8:30am. I didn't plan to be up earlier anyway. “Katty, you're finally awake. ” She checked the time herself and was amazed. “so sorry for not waking you up. I planned to wake you after I'm done with the cleaning ” “it's fine mum” I yawned.

  Sylvia rushed into the doctor's office. The news of Katty's attack reached her rather too late that when she got to the hospital, she wasn't allowed to see her again. She's been stabilised and put to rest. The doctor just said, 'You can't see her now, see me in my office' She was grieved, scared that something has gone too wrong. Most of all, she felt guilty for everything. “how's my daughter? ”she asked as she sat down. The doctor, a lean, young and tight faced man. His silky black hair fell over his forehead that gave him a youthful look. “she's been stabilized for now ”he said “you know she was asthmatic? ” “yes”she responded.

  Sylvia ran out of the hospital. She knew she needed to get Emiliar as soon as possible. *** Emiliar sat at a corner of the school library reading a book, she needed time alone. Her life has always been a mess and now it's even worse ,Katty's gone. There's no other human that believes that she's just a human. There's no one to talk to . Her life has crashed and now she's here to bleed on paper. she just sat there crying within. A woman walked up to her, probably the librarian. “hello Emiliar ” she said.

  Emiliar found herself in a beautiful cottage. Sylvia stood by her side smiling, happy that she has succeeded in geting Emiiar..she just hoped that the little girl don't get sentimental. Emiliar looked up to her ,startled. the world just changed like a quick swipe. the so called librarian has changed her uniform so quickly and this cottage doesn't look familiar. " where are we?" she asked ." why did everything changed so quickly? how did we get here in the first place?" Sylvia just smiled and nudged her to move. She really had no time to waste. "I asked a question?"

  When they got home, Sylvia placed Katrienair on her bed an gave her some herbs to stabilize her and keep her airways opened. It was a very big risk they have taken and she just prayed that things work out well. She then joined Joel and Emiliar at the living room. " how is she now?" Joel asked as soon as he saw her. " I can't say" She sat in their midst. " She'll be fine Joel. Don't worry too much." " I hope so" Emiliar sighed." please what's next? I thought we ha

  I woke to complete blackness. I felt a cold, metal pain on my wrists and ankles, and my limbs were sore. I realized I was chained. Standing. My arms were outstretched, by my sides, and I tried to move them, but they didn’t budge. Neither did my feet. I heard a rattle as I tried, and felt the cold, hard metal dig harder into my wrists and ankles. Where the hell am I? I opened her eyes wider, heart pounding, trying to get a feel of where I was. It was cold. I was still dressed, but barefoot, and I could feel cold stone beneath my feet. I felt something in my dress and as I struggled a white pup jumped out and happily licked my face, rubbing his face on mine. I looked hard about the room and

  She reached out for anyone's thought but nothing came. No one was there. She tried another way. She'd learned so far that some people guide their thought and an effective way to get them is to use your inner sight, even spirits can be detected through this. She stood still, first controlling her own breathe. She kept her eye shut, tried to view things as she could feel them. The first attempt got her nothing and she believed she wasn't relaxed enough so she tried again. Concentrating on every single change or sound, she got something. She heard a slight whine, a sound most likely to be made by an animal but she just hoped it was human. She followed the direction of the sound. As she walked farther she could see a small whitish thing that looked like cotton or a woolen

  Emiliar found herself in a room. It had a sense of royalty, she was bounded in chains so she could not have a full view of it. She was thrown into this room by the people who carried her and they all walked away like they were not allowed to enter. She sat there awaiting whatever they were bringing to her. She heard whispers at the back of the door and she listened carefully. " How did humans enter our territory? We should be cautious. Definitely someone is stabbing our back and they know the consequence of this. Tell everyone that the culprit will not go unpunished" Another said." Prince Julian just arrived" "You mean my son

  "Deal?"Roger asked."The men would have to fight fist then."Alistair replied.Julian stepped out, Raleigh also. To Julian, the fight was for a different cause. Raleigh had tried to poison him the night before, he hadn't exposed him because he knew deep down that it would be nicer if kept it for another day. The day came rather too quickly. Raleigh also was eager, with Julian out of the way, his plan would go out just well and he'll have the whole demonic territory to himself, probably the whole world."I've always waited for this day"Raleigh muttered, am evil grin on his face."Then go on." Julian's expression was rather bland.The two charged at each other. Julian held his lance to a perfect aim while dodging Raleigh's spear. I never expected the fight to be so short and easy. The spear caught Raleigh right in his chest, below his heart though. That could not make him die but at it he got weak. Julian walked over his body and brought his spear down to his heart. Bloo

  "You will rot in hell!"He yelled and turned to leave. Alistair stopped him."Who deserves to rot in hell Roger?"She spoke into the conch. "You have just one day to make a choice. It's either you come down here to surrender to us or we break into your walls."Roger laughed, sounded like it rooted from some bottled forces in his chest. "You that kid! Let's see who lasts one day."He walked away.I faced Alistair. She just made the wrong decision. Giving Roger even a second can change the way things are going."You know Roger would never surrender to us.""I don't intend to keep him either"Alistair said. "Even if he surrenders, I won't let that devil live, never. It's better to catch the devil unawares. We are going in now."I smiled. Alistair's smart. I guess you have to be a demon to fight a demon. I'm proud of her."So, how do we get in?"I asked. "The soldiers can't climb. They won't be caught unawares then."Alistair nudged me by my side. "You

  "Next, little bit of rain."Alistair said on getting towards the castle, then the rain began. This time, chilly waters dropped.We saw that the walls have been shut tightly with everything Roger possessed. It's the first time in Roger's history, he got suddenly scared of war. It isn't a war anymore or is it?"We're not burning down the castle. Let's go back."I only followed her command. We turned back, going back to our comrades. Looking over the wretch we've created, I could not help but feel pity. I, Katrienair, that weird kid in school, had a part in these. It's unimaginable. I've really grown up and things have really changed. I remembered Arkishair and muttered a little prayer for her. Alistair noticed, her next words proved it."She'll be proud of you.""And you too."Alistair shook her head. "I don't think she would remember."We got to the spot the white coven's army stood, they was massive celebration in the air. They were rejoicing because our

  The number of Roger's troop seemed limitless and no matter how many we killed, it seemed futile. For every hundred that was killed, two hundred appeared. All the while the horizon continued to flood with them, row after row, division after division, crammed up like a million worker ants. They were able to stop the fire, they pushed off the flaming soldiers away an took up new positions. The death of several thousands of their men didn't even put a dent on their forces.Yet at our side, every death made an impact, though we didn't have many. That kept my hope alive. We were already far away from the hill where the war started. Our army was still very much in the spirit. I was proud, they had sustained injuries but that didn't stop them. The key was just the best. It was killing four men at a time. I swinged it around while moving and ducking at the same time. At the corner of my eye, I heard a scream. I had less time to linger on that sight because I was being attacked from ever

  I stood on the top of one of the hills of the northern province of the demons territory, my comrades by my side.The demons' soldiers were already on the horizon. We planned to go meet them at the castle but the sudden change of event didn't matter anyway. All around, men were busy preparing their weapons. Archers took positions, thousands of them, arrows and bows also ready. If they want it on this hill, so be it. Thousands of more men took positions with Spears, young legion members with slings. Thousands of men beneath the hill had swords and Shields and every weapon imaginable. Israel was giving commands, with Alistair, looking stronger by my side. I felt optimistic. This is the war I've lived for. With the Key wounded in my hands, I already knew what the results of the war would be. It would be a hard one though.I looked again over the horizon and reminded myself of what was coming. The demons has never been defeated on any battle. I forced myself to believe that this ti

  There was a feast at the castle. The usual kind of feast Roger has whenever a big war is coming. Julian was in his chamber with kabal, teaching him the things he needed to know, when a guard informed him about the feast and that the king asks that he must be there. Kabal had mix feelings about it but he could not stop his master from attending the feast. Julian instructed him to turn off the lights and go to bed but Kabal could not. He felt something was off. Maybe something really was off. He left the chamber, though late, he had lost sight of Julian. He walked round the castle, searching for the exact place the feast was holding but didn't find it. It's a private feast so it wasn't taken at the assembly hall. Frustrated, he retraced his steps back to the chamber.He was stopped by whisperings from a room, the royal kitchen. His curiosity led on and he decided to have a peek through the half closed window.He saw Raleigh conversing with the head nurse. He had to strain hi

  Sylvia curtsied on seeing Israel walk into her apartment. She had stayed in, brooding since their last talk."Sylvia, how are you doing?"Isreal took a seat on the couch."I'm okay Milord."She answered."You told the head of maids you weren't."Israel haf asked of her from the head maid since he didn't see her thought-out his preparations for Karen and her company.Sylvia muttered an apology."Have you remembered?"He asked. Sylvia gave a solemn nod."Then I have no choice" Israel said. "We have a big war tomorrow. The chosen one and her comrades have arrived. You need your memory because you would be at war tomorrow and you need to remember your fighting skill at least. I can't leave you here in he castle. It's not safe. "He stood up from his seat and moved closer to her. Sylvia froze in place, scared of what his next step would be. She stood up, her back against the wall."We still have some time. it's just noon.

  I decided to go check up on Alistair. Ethan was exiting the room when I walked in. I saw Alistair on her bed, head buried in her pillow. I got curious. What happened here?"Alistair." I joined her. "Hei, it's me."I removed the pillow from her head. I saw her relax. She opened a drawer and gave me a photoframe. I was stunned. There was a couple in it. They looked very young and beautiful. The young woman had long curly golden hair, her green eyes stood out in the picture. The young man was like the most handsome being I've ever seen, I had to remind myself it's just a picture. He had flashy blue eyes and perfect black hair."Our parents. You never met them but..."I was so shocked on hearing this that for a moment I doubted my ears."What did you say?""That's mom and dad. You know them now."She yawned."Oh my...they are stunning. Ah..."I held it to my heart, fantasizing about them feeling my heart beat."I'll find them. I will.""Is there anyt

  " Is that Alistair, the first princess of the white coven." Israel shrieked on seeing us. Even his guards, wore a surprised look. I took a glance at Alistair. Well, her expression was bland but I could tell she wasn't enjoying the publicity.Isreal walked up to us as we dismounted from our horse. He bowed to Alistair. She only nodded."Oh my goodness Milady, we all thought you were dead.""I am."Alistair finally spoke. "I mean, for now. You and your guards should keep this as a secret for now. I'm not ready to reveal myself to the public, okay?""Okay, Milady"Wow, Alistair's perfect!*We walked along the aisle, Israel leading the way. He looked less frigid than he was the last time. He was happy, though when he asked for the chosen one, I said I had no idea. He was surprised I could lift the key, I guess that shut him up. He said he had prepared a table for us but we insisted we needed to rest. It's no good time for eating, is it?He
