Noah's POV:
" Jacen, Noah. I am so glad you are here. I missed my sons," Nina hugged both of us tightly. She didn't even notice Amelia and Kassidy behind us.
" Me too, mom," Jacen and I told. That's when her eyes wandered over the two girls.
" They are our friends, mom. We got an important thing to tell you," Jacen seriously told.
" Yeah, I know. Something is wrong. I have no idea what it is. But it's running all over the flash news. Iam watching Tv right now," Nina anxiously told. I never thought what happened in the academy will be over the flash news.
" What? What's on the news? We need to see it now, mom," Jacen said, motioning the girls to get inside. Nina caught a glimpse of Amelia and filled us with more questions.
" She's injured. Why didn't you told me anything about this? Get inside. Isn't it important? We need to help her,"
" Iam okay. It's not a big issue," Amelia said as Nina led us inside the hall. It's been
Jacen's POV:" But I think we should take rest. We didn't even sleep," Amelia suggested the worst idea." It's going to be morning soon. We are not going to waste our time," I told her while my mom is deeply lost in her thoughts. She must have figured something out. She always has a plan in hand." We are leaving now. I know who we should approach," she said and took the car key. Nina locked the door when everyone came out of the house. She's going to take us to some witch who has a solution to solve this problem. I should have left the academy before all of this happened." Who are we going to meet?" Noah asked when we all seated in the car. Nina started the engine. She's much determined than any of us."A hundred-year-old witch. She has all the portraits to everywhere. She can even see the future. But conversing her to help us a little hard," Nina replied as she drove off the car." You can convince her, mom. I trust you." I confidently sp
Jacen's POV:" Yes. I retired a month ago. Now could you please get out of my house?" she politely spoke without yelling at us." No. Please, I need your help. You said you would help me whenever I ask. You can't let me down now." Nina shock us by pleading to her. I should be the one who needs to plead her. But I did something wrong when she refused again." I said when was helping everyone. Now I retired. Don't make me tell the same things twice. Get out," she firmly said anger blazing in those eyes." Do you want money? We will give whatever or how much you want. Just help me once. What are you going to achieve by refusing to help us?" I yelled louder than her. Her eyes widened. My friend's jaws dropped. I should not be disrespectable but I got no choice. How much longer can I wait to rescue Sydney? It feels like it's been a century. I don't have patience and I don't need to be patient." Iam absolutely sorry, Amanda. My son will apologize to you
Jacen’s POV:Sydney’s in her coronation blue dress which is badly torn right below her knees. She’s looking like someone hurt her horribly. She’s much thinner than I saw her some days ago. For her, it must be more than a week. I miss her. I can’t see her in this state. How can I let her suffer for this much days? This is terrible.“We need to find her soon. Why the hell she’s in a cell?” I shouted at the crystal which obviously won’t reply to me.“There’s no use in yelling. The spell is ready. Now we can enter the portal. Can we, Amanda?” Kassidy asked and closed all the large spellbooks in the desk. I can’t take my eyes off Sydney. She is suffering. I won’t let it happen if Iam with her. But she’s far away from me. Finally, it’s time to reunite with her. I want her to run into my arms. When she’s back with me safely, I will bring her home to Slate
" Who is he? Do you know him?" Noah asked me while glaring at him." Yeah. He's my friend. Can you let him out? Please," I asked Noah who opened the cell without further questions. Mason's face brightened once he's out of the cell after many days. Pheobe walked out of the cell followed by her brother. She glared at everyone but prefered to be silent. I promised her that I will bring her life back. Whether I can do it or not, but she's believing it. Or maybe she's faking it. Who knows?" Now come on. I got more questions for you," Noah grabbed my wrist and walked with a stern look on his face. Why is he angry? I can't wait to know what happened while I was gone." Where are we going?" I asked Amelia who's walking behind me silently. They both look like they are grieving for something. It isn't Jacen and Kassidy. Then what's the reason?" To our allotted room. We can only stay here for two days," she informed me and looked back at Mason and Pheobe."
Noah's POV:" Don't blame yourself. Now you are safe. We are going back soon," I kept both of my on her shoulder and consulted her. She tried not to cry for a second. Then, there's a fierce look on her face." Fine. How did you meet the Queen? You didn't reveal that part." she expected for my answer. But I couldn't say that. There's always be a consequence when we are dealing with someone powerful. The Queen decided to help us getting back to Slateville. But only under one condition. I can't say that to Sydney. I lost something so important just to save Sydney."I...I met her a day ago. Amelia and I reached the castle the minute we got outside of the portal. It took us more time to convince her to help us. Iam glad it's over." I gave a simple explanation which won't reveal what I have really done." You are glad it's over? What exactly happened, Noah? It seems like you are interested in telling me the truth." Sydney asked with irritation. I don't want any a
Sydney's POV:Amelia's words ringed in my ears. Iam speechless. I was acting stupid by being angry on Noah but he lost his powers to get me back. Why did he do that? that's so generous of him. I never did something good to him. In fact, I hurt him by rejecting him. Still, he did this all to me. I feel like some cruel girl. Maybe more cruel than Cassie.I remember the day when Noah helped me to win the Paranormal games. He fought the minotaur with his lightning powers. That's when I know, Vampire has such type of powers. It's so rare." You gotta learn to shut your mouth up, Amelia," Noah shouted at her and walked faster than us." Noah, Iam..." I started but he vanished in a minute." Where does he go?" I directed my question to Amelia. " Just follow me. I know the route in this castle," she said and lead us to a long hallway." I want to make it up with Noah. I feel like a horrible person. I never cared for him as much as I care
Victoria's POV:Iam nobody. Everyone thinks that I and Peter are in hell. Soon, the council will pronounce Dorothy has the new Queen and Thomas, her husband as the new King. They fixed that we are dead. If we are really in hell that doesn't mean that Iam dead.On another side, Iam still in the same room for days. No one's here to find us. We can't break the spell till the person reverses the spell. That's not going to happen. Iam counting on those kids. Jacen, Noah and Kassidy. I know Kassidy will do anything for me. I know I should have tried anything to get out of here. But there's no time in my mind to think about it. This life sucks. I can't take it anymore. All I have been through is struggles and difficulties. I never got time to spend with my daughter all these years. I never know she's alive. Now I got her back and lost her again. This is how it supposed to be. We can't change what it's meant to be. It's all fate. If only fate has a twist, in the end, to
Jacen's POV:We have been walking for hours in a near ending dessert which is hell. WE are on a mountain and the ground below us is nothing but in red. The sky is red and everything looks dangerous. But it didn't scare me. What scares me more than this is I can't able to find Sydney. Iam so close to it and missed it. But Kassidy already figured out a plan to get to the castle. We are so close to the Hell Queen castle. We will be there in no time. That's what Iam thinking." Stop, Jacen," Kassidy pushed me backwards all of a sudden. It took a moment to understand what's going on. I would have fallen from an unreachable height in the mountains." Have your eyes down. I can't watch you all the time," she scolded." I know how to take care of you. I will be alive even if I feel down," I yelled at her." Can you?" she asked and pulled me towards the edge again. I looked down to notice the volcano. There's a stone of steps to cross from the one side to t
