Lahat ng Kabanata ng Flames in my heart: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

I look around at the strange contraptions and torture tools all over the walls. There is a strange aura in this room; bad things have happened here. I can feel it. What the fuck is all this for? There is no way this has always been down here the whole time and I didn’t know. I wonder if Tyler even knew, there’s no way he could be in on this. “What is this place?” Ben said walking in behind me. “I’m not sure” I whispered looking at the wood table in the centre of the room, there are restraints in all four corners. Who were they torturing down here? I had to believe they were doing it for a good reason. I walk further into the room and see a row of red leather books all along the back wall on shelves. I rip a book from the shelf, flipping through the pages; every spell in here is black magic. I grab another book and another. They are all full of black magic, words of evil, each book darker and darker. I flip to a page that says “removing souls, the patient must endure mont

“Please don’t hurt us” I said stopping in my tracks. I was getting really tired of all the things trying to kill me lately. “Why are you on this island” the small man tilted his head. He looked like a dwarf. “That’s none of your business” Rod yelled. “Wrong answer” the small man pulled a cord, a giant net sweeps us off the ground trapping us high in the trees. I wonder if I should attack him, but I can sense he doesn’t really want to hurt us. “I think he’s harmless, scared of us even. I’m just going to tell him what we are looking for” I whispered. “No, we don’t know if we can trust him” Rod said, “just burn the rope. If we all hold hands I can make us all invisible and we can make a break for it.”“We don’t know what tricks he has up his sleeve. I feel like we can trust him” I said. Rod glared at me “oh great let’s risk our lives on a feeling.”“We are looking for a rare crystal called a volcanic obsidian. My names Clara and I’m a witch. We need the stone to find a hu

“Go now while you still have the light of day on your side” she urged. Rod steps inside first, disappearing completely. The blue haired woman pulls me back before I step foot inside and tells me “Clara, you have grown so much, I’m so proud. You are going to be faced with a terrible decision. It’s important you make the right one. Blessed be.” Then she pushes me though the entrance. I turn to look back but the way out has vanished. What did she mean by that? “What did she say to you?” Rod questioned. “I’m not even sure myself” I answered. The air down here is thick with dust. I look around and their are strange symbols on the walls. We take a few steps forward, arrows shoot out from the walls in all directions. I blast them with fire turning them to ashes before they hit us. “We are going to have to be more careful” he said. We walk slower looking for traps. I notice the pictures on the wall have a figure of a person pointing. “I wonder if they are trying to sho

“Where is my brother” I shouted. The air down here smells of fear and blood. “How should I know, I’m practically a volunteer here” he said before launching a bolt of lightning at Rod forcing him to dive out of the way. I incinerate the hunter with one flick of my wrist. I was starting to get used to this. “This was Hopes cell” I told them. “But she’s not here” Ben said. “They must have moved her somewhere else” but where?“Which way should we go?” Ben asked. Hope had warned that the tunnels down here were like an endless maze. The tunnels are dark and it wasn’t going to be easy finding our way through. We venture down into the suffocating darkness, as we head further we see rows of dimly lit cages filed with people who seem to not notice to us. Why are they all down here? “Do you think those are all witches?” Ben whispered. “I think so, we have to do something to help them” I said. “We have to get out of here first because if we get caught we are no help to any

The light fades and we appear outside of my bunkie. My mother saved us. “How did she do that?” Tyler said. I was curious too, her power was telekinesis so how did she teleport all of us away like that…“I’m not sure, but I think mom is much more powerful than she ever told us” I began, “I found a hidden room in the basement full of torture devices and books filed of black magic.” “No way! Why would she save us if she was working with them?” He exclaimed. “Everything connects her and dad to the hunters” I told him. “How could they have been hunters all these years and we never knew?” Tyler questioned, “none of this makes sense.”“I know, but why else would they be down there. You saw mom, she looked like she was some kind of leader to them” I said. “I still don’t believe it, there must be an explanation” Tyler looked sad. It was devastating finding out the people who raised us are monsters. All the chaos has made me forget that Hope needs our help. I look around and see h
