Sydney's POV:
A headache. My whole body hurts. Iam tied up. My whole body is tied up. Iam starving. Iam thirsty. I can't move. My head hurts so badly. I need to get rid of this rope. I can't. I finally opened my eyes.
I remember that Iam in hell. Iam in my house which is in hell. I have no idea how's that possible. I looked at myself. Iam tied up in a chair. No matter how much I struggled I can't free myself. The more I struggle the more it hurts. I have no strength to fight. Iam feeling dizzy. Iam here to save my aunt but it seems like I have no chance to escape hell. How many hours am I being tied up like this?
Suddenly the door opened a little to view Pheobe's face. There's a smile on her face. She likes to enjoy this view of me while I never did something wrong to her.
" I guess someone's up after a day," she smirked and showed a glass of water in front of me. I can't believe Iam unconscious for a day but it doesn't matter. I need water.
" Give
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
