My mother?

"Go and open it" the evil creature snapped at Hera. But Hera refused to listen to the creature. The creature became extremely angry.

"I said, open the portal" it screeched loudly with unrestrained anger.

But Hera refused to move, which made the creature slap her across her cheek.

"Why are you looking at him? He told you to open that portal, you dumb idiot. Can't you understand a simple sentence?" the creature yelled at Hera.

Hera fell to the ground when the creature slapped her. Now there is a cut on her lower lip and it's bleeding.

When Logan saw she is bleeding, he rushed to her side. When he was about to touch her, she moved away from his touch.

"Hera?" Logan whispered.

Tears of anguish pooled in her eyes.

"What about my mother?" She asked him softly.

When the Shadows mentioned Alex, she remembered that her mother is still in their custody. She knows that they will never let her mother go if she opens this portal toda
