"Lilith?" Sylvester said. Everyone looked at our direction, meanwhile I was still on my knees with my hands on the ground. Benjamin was right behind me. People rushed to us.
"Somebody get the boy to his room" Silver said. "Hart inform King Asmodeus that his son has been found" Ella said. "Right away" Hart replied. Diamond helped me up. "Lilith!! Lilith can you hear me?" Diamond asked.
I looked at Diamond, I couldn't say anything cause the pain I'm feeling right now just made me go dumb, I wish I could numb the pain. "Shit she's bleeding" Sylvester said. "You need to get her to my room immediately!" Diamond said in a panicked voice.
"Where is she?" Damien's voice echoed through the courtyard. All I want to do right now is hug him tight and cry like a baby. Damien came to me, he carried me in his arms. I couldn't help but bury my face on his shoulder. We got to Diamond's room, Damien gently placed me on the bed.
"Is she going to be alright?" Damien asked. "I would try my best" Diamond replied. "I don't want you to try your best.... I want to know if she's going to be alright" Damien said. "Damien you have to calm down... The good news is that Asmodeus has found his son" Jason said.
"But Lilith is in such a f**ked up situation" Damien said. Damien turns his attention to me. "You!! Why do you have to do this all by yourself?" Damien asked. "Damien!! That's enough!! You need to leave" Diamond said.
Damien gave me a death stare. "We would talk about this later.... This isn't over yet" Damien said. "Silver please you need to calm your brother down" Ella said. "I'd try my best" Silver said as he left. "Diamond what do you need?" Ella asked.
"I need towel, a bowl of water, neath clothes..... Um.... Sylvester please help her up" Diamond said. "On it" Sylvester said obediently. "Don't worry I'd handle the towel, bowl of water and neath clothes, you don't worry" Ella said reassuringly.
"What do you want me to do Diamond?" Jason asked. "Well.... I would want you to grab a purple potion on the shelf" Diamond said. Jason made his way to the shelf. Looking at everyone right now, I feel so emotional. I had no idea they cared alot about me.
Sylvester helped me up, Diamond tore my dress from the stomach, where I was stabbed. "What are you doing?" Sylvester asked. "I want to know what she was stabbed with" Diamond said. "Diamond which potion exactly?" Jason asked. "The purple one!!" Diamond replied.
"It's obvious that she was stabbed with a sword" Sylvester said. "I know but I smell magic from inside her" Diamond said. "Diamond! Is this the potion?" Jason asked. Diamond turned around to look at Jason. "Yes!!" Diamond replied.
Jason came to the bed, he handed the potion over to Diamond. "What are we looking at here?" Jason said. "Possibly witchcraft" Diamond said. "So what's the solution?" Sylvester asked. "Well I would give her the potion and the potion would do its job" Diamond said.
Diamond opened the potion. "Please help me pin her to the bed cause this is a tricky one" Diamond said. Both Jason and Sylvester pinned me to the bed. Diamond tried to give me the potion but I refused to open my mouth.
Let's just say she forced it into my mouth. The potion was bitter that I was about to throw up but Diamond covered my mouth. "Now what?" Sylvester asked. "Let it slowly take control" Diamond said. I looked at all of them in confusion.
Within seconds I felt my insides burn. I hissed in pain, it felt like they were cooking my insides. I screamed in pain, I kept shaking on the bed. Jason and Sylvester held me so tight that no matter how hard I tried to brake free I couldn't.
It felt as though my stomach was set on fire. I kicked and rolled but I couldn't break free.
I screamed, I kept on screaming. I don't know what was happening.... I want to end my life instantly. "F**k!!.... What in f**ks name is that" Sylvester asked. "Is that a hand?" Jason asked.
"Oh shit, I think I'm gonna puke" Sylvester said. The hand came out of my stomach, Diamond had to cast a spell to trap it.
"How did that get in there?" Jason asked. "It's an ancient spell that allows the hand to move freely inside her. This spell can only be completed by a blade" Diamond said. "No wonder she was stabbed" Jason said. "No doubt Ixia had something to do with it" Diamond said.
"It's a relief Damien isn't here to witness this" Sylvester said. "I agree" Diamond replied. "We need to let her rest" Jason said. "That's true but I need to dress her wound" Diamond said. We heard the door swing open.
"I missed the good stuff, didn't I?" Ella asked. "I'm afraid so honey" Jason said. "What the heck is that?" Ella asked while pointing at the hand. "It's a long story" Sylvester said. "You boys go outside while we attend to Lilith" Ella said. Jason and Sylvester left the room.
Ella dropped the bowl of water on a table. "What's first?" Ella asked. "I need her to fall asleep" Diamond said. "I don't think she's going to drink it" Ella said. "Don't worry, there are many ways to make a person go to sleep without giving them a potion" Diamond said.
"Really? What other ways?" Ella asked. "Are you with a handkerchief by any chance?" Diamond asked. "Yes" Ella replied. She handed a handkerchief to Diamond.
I don't know what Diamond did with the handkerchief but she sat down on the bed and placed the handkerchief on my nose.
I sniffed it and became dizzy. My head was spinning. I heard Diamond and Ella's voice for a while till it suddenly became silent. I found myself in a weird environment, like a graveyard. I saw myself walking towards a gate.
The gate suddenly opened wide, I decided to enter. "Where do you think you're going young lady?" I heard Arleta's voice from behind me. I turned around to see Arleta sitting on a tombstone. "I want to go in" I said.
"You want to give up when your journey has only begun?" Arleta said. "Journey? There's no journey. All I do is get others in trouble and I don't want that anymore" I said. "You're willing to die just because of that? You're willing to end your journey right here, right now?" Arleta asked.
"Yes" I replied. Arleta laughed. "it's not up to you to decide whether you live or die. You're mission isn't over, you haven't saved them yet" Arleta said. "I'm sick and tired of hearing the same fairytale over and over again. I want to die" I said.
"Die? You can't die, you have immortality running through your veins. Ixia isn't aware that no matter how hard she tries she can't kill you" Arleta said. "What do you mean by I have immortality running through my veins?" I asked.
"I was aware that if my sister found out you possessed my powers she would try to kill you. That's why I was one step ahead of her" Arleta said. "So you made me an immortal? How?" I asked. "I gave you my energy and my blood" Arleta said.
I ran my fingers through my hair. "This is crazy" I said. "So no matter how hard you try you will never die..... Now return to the land of the living, as you can see the gate of death has been shut against you" Arleta said. I looked behind me to see the gate closed.
"You are not allowed to die until your mission is complete and if your mission is complete you will live anyway, like it or not" Arleta said.
