" I'll do it," Alexa said with determination. Isadora already knew what her answer would be. She was afraid that she might not get to see Alexa again but there was nothing she could do to convince her not to go through with it. She would be selfish to put her feelings before the situation they were in. So shd smiled and took Alexa's hand in hers. " I know it is risky but I am willing to give it a try. I will do anything to make sure we find them. No matter what." It scared Isadora hearing her say that but it was not a surprise. She has seen how much she cares for Mercedes so it would only make sense that she wants to save her. Even so, Isadora was afraid that she might fail and remain trapped in the dream world. If that happens, she won't make it out and would die. She couldn't even think about that without her heart aching. " I understand that you want to do all you can to save her but remember to be careful. She cannot wake up while you are still in her dream. You will get t
Felix was trying his best to stay positive but it was kind of hard to do so when his wife and Mate have been missing for days without a trace. They tried everything the could to track them down but nothing was working. Not even magic. Clearly Drakoen knew what he was doing. He couldn't sleep. When he tried closing his eyes he would have nightmares about his family getting killed. It felt so real and it scared him out of his mind. Alexa noticed the dark circles under his eyes. His face was pale and worn out. It was clear that he was not getting enough rest. Neither did she. She exhausted her energy trying to track Mercedes. I Finding Mercedes and Horace started to feel like it was anc impossible task. She couldn't even offer words of encouragement to Felix. What would she say when she doesn't even know how to feel about the whole situation. She was feeling guilty. Felix trusted that she would be able to keep Mercedes safe but she couldn't even stop her from leaving. Felix won't blame
After 3 days, Drakoen let Mercedes out of her confinement and had her brought to his office. She had a blind fold over her eyes so she could not see where she was going. Drakoen didn't want her to see her way around his place. The men he sent came back holding her up. She was weak and worn out from lack of food and water. He commended her endurance. She managed to hold out long enough in the darkness. He really underestimated her. Her thought she would give in to her frustration and throw a fit but she remained calm under all that pressure. The came inside his office and threw Mercedes next to the cage. Drakoen's breath caught for a second. It was the first time he got to see her after a thousand years. His mortal enemy. She was a few feet away from him. All defenseless and weak. Thinking about the past, he got an enraged to a point he wanted to just kill her but he gripped the arms of his chair so tightly to suppress his anger and hate. He couldn't let his emotions rule him so he t
Mercedes sat still on the chair without moving. After she left the academy that night, she did everything she was told. She arrived at the buttom of the mountain and waited by the road side. Mercedes thought she was going to be fetched by a car. She got there on the time that was agreed on. Mercedes stood there looking around as cars passed by her. It was past midnight but the road was still busy. While waiting and her focus on the cars driving by trying to spot the one that was coming to get her, she failed to notice that someone was approaching behind her. When she noticed, it was too late. The person behind her pushed her into the road. She lost her balance and fell. She was so shocked that she didn't know what to do to save herself. Mercedes closed her eyes ready to embrace her fall but to her supprise, she didn't hit the floor. She was still falling. Mercedes opened her eyes and realise that she was inside a portal. She fell into a portal? Drakoen's men were responsible for tha
" What did you just say to me?" " You heard me right, Felix. She is gone. Drakoen managed to lure her to him. I don't know where she is. All she did was leave this letter for me to find." Alexa handed the letter Mercedes left over to Felix who snatched it out of her hand. Felix arrived a few moments ago to meet Alexa and Mercedes. He didn't know that he was already too late. Her quickly read it and his expression darkened. The letter slipped out her his hand. He coudknt believe that he had lost his family yet again. Feeling defeated her sat on the chair. " I am sorry, Felix. I know that there is nothing I can say that will make this better but now is not the time to lose hope. Mercedes and Horace need us." Tears started coming of Felix's eyes. He couldn't stop them. He has remained strong for far too long and he couldn't take it anymore. How much longer must he suffer? Why him? It felt like the Gods had it out for him. No one else was going through so much trials and trib
The next day, Alexa went into Mercedes's room to check on her only to find that she was long gone. Her bed was made and if was cold showing that she didn't sleep on it. What she was afraid of happened. Mercedes gave in to the pressure. She couldn't even blame her. If she was in her shoes, she probably would have done what she did as well. Alexa had the letter that Mercedes left in her hands. She opened the letter to read it. " By the time you read this letter, I will be long gone. I'm going to find my son. I know that I'm not doing the right thing and I am probably falling for a trap but it doesn't matter to me. Right now, Horace is the one who matters the most to me and if there is a way that I can get to him, I will take it. Don't try to look for me. If you do, Horace will be in danger. I will try my best to make it out of there along with Horace. Please wait for me. Take care." Alexa put the letter back on the bed. Just like that, Mercedes has made her choice. There was not
