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
Noah's POV:BEFORE FEW DAYS:" No, bro. Stop the car," I ordered him. It's no good at crashing the other cars in traffic. We can rather stop than ending up in an accident." Sorry, bro. I can't," My brother stubbornly said and increased the speed than before. I can hear the girls scream behind us. He sped over all the vehicles. When our car is about to get stuck in the traffic jam, Jacen leads it to the path where the people walk in the road." Oh, god. Slow down, Jacen. You don't want to kill anyone or ourselves. Do you?" Kassidy screamed while Jacen simply ignored everyone. His eyes are on the road. I can see the determination in him. He won't rest until he finds Sydney. We all care for her. But we least not acting stupid like him." Is Dorothy still following us?" I turned back to the girls." I don't think she will follow us at this speed. Please tell your brother that I want to live. Iam not even eighteen. I wanna live,"
Noah's POV:" She doesn't have feelings for you," Amelia blurted out simply. But Iam the only one who knows how much it hurts. I don't know what to say next. I already know this, but it hurts to hear it from her friend. I should have dropped this topic before a minute." Iam sorry. I don't mean to hurt you. She liked you but she has strong feelings for Jacen since she met him years ago,"" What? What are you talking about?" I gave a puzzled look." Don't you know that? Sydney told me on the last day before she left Slateville. She met Jacen when she was alive. She was Sapphire in those years. She came to Ravenwood for the vacation with the whole family. That's when Jacen and Sydney met. Do you remember that vacation, Noah?"I need to think about that. I remember that vacation. But I have no idea who Sapphire is. I can't believe it. Jacen didn't utter a word about this. I know we both are kids years ago. But-" I do remember. But I didn
