My best dreams and worst nightmares had the same people in it. I knew that from day one, but sometimes when you're desperate and you don't care  – the devil recognises your soul the most. "Your sister?" The words came out without any backups. Nila only nodded to my question, burying her face down to avoid further questions. "Well nice to hear but we don't have time for family reunion here." Kedar stepped forward cutting in between Nila and I. "Pendragon sent you to us, didn't she?" She was ready to talk business and I was glad for that."Yes." I replied. "I need to find my sister." I added immediately."Firstly, when was the last time you had a bath?" She eyed me from head to toes as her question pierced me like a sharp nail. She was right. I glanced down on what was supposed to look like a sandal and trust me, you do not want to see what I saw. I wondered if those dirty feet down there were

"We meet again, child."Indeed we did. I was in a throne room, surrounded by warriors of the dead. It was funny to me at first, all the creatures around me; about nine or ten, all carried a light in their hands. No. More like a purple fire, lighting directly from what you could call hands. One of them had his head on his right hand, and then the fire on the other. Another one looked right at me but I couldn't see his face. Even though I just knew he was staring at me. Black wounds appeared all over his body making him seem like he recently got stabbed in every part of his body. Then I noticed those creepy wounds were his eyes. The bloody hell! His eyes popped out of every part of him. Many other strange looking beings stood still in the room. One was even a snake. An entire snake but with hands, about six of them, all holding the same bloody fire."It surprises you, doesn't it?" His voice boomed, sending cold chills through my body. How could an ave

"So... it has been four days since you took the lives of those men, huh?" Nila asked, whispering."True." I replied without even looking at her, and without taking my hand off of his thick and tangled black mane. After what happened with Lavi the other day, and what you could call a fight that occurred between  Kedar and I, Lavi was back with me. There was absolutely no way I could still have left him out there alone. For four whole days now, everyone had been somewhat angry at me. I simply did what I had to do! "Are you feeling hungry?" She whispered again."False.""Whoa! What a claw he has there, don't you think?" "Again with the bloody whisper! Why are you doing this Nila?" I had taken all of their attitudes for the past bloody days. I couldn't hold it in any longer. They were supposed to be my guide, even when I made mistakes. Then corrected me. Not to judge me. "Why are you al

How hard could that be, huh? Well it turned out to be bloody damn hard!Until I met him.  You see, living with those bastards of a keeper was something I'd never imagined myself doing. I was so close into thrusting my dagger into one's throat when the bad-mannered saphead rudely mention that no beast was allowed into the keeper's fortress. Even after Kedar's strange men had pleaded on my behalf, telling him that Lavi was my assigned animal protector. And by strange men, I meant dwarves. Short, ugly, mutilated face like a bag of well chewed caramel. Yes. Those dwarves. But the moment we arrived at the gates of their fortresses, they sprayed something colbalt blue like on their skins and instantly, turned into full grown men.After a long boring conversation, pleading and laughing minutes later, when I'd lost track of time I spent in the carriage, they finally welcomed us in and let us passed through the fortified gates.

"Here, follow me." The woman who was supposed to be my mother, lead us to a small room close to the kitchen. "We'll be safe in the pantry, my child." She smiled again, like she'd been doing since she appeared to us."Thank you ma'am." Bellamy quickly appreciated her rendered help, and looked at me for a reply too. "We thank you so much." He added after getting nothing but a blank expression on my face. "She's just been through a lot.""No worries. I'll leave you two to send off anything that might leave a trail on your hide out." Her lips curled into another smile, but was instantly replaced with a worried look. "I love you, so much." She whispered, then focused on Bellamy. "Please take care of her, and stay safe." Having said that, she took one last look at me, then ran out the door, leaving me to wonder what the hell I'd just encountered.«»«»«»«»«»"Bellatrix?"My eyes slowly worked it's way
