Chapter 13 ~THIRTEEN~

*UNKNOWN*
Zenia opened her eyes frazilly, her head aching and her body itching. She leaned up on the wall behind her realising she was in somewhere unfamiliar. Last she could remember was that she saw Rex at the party she and Taynor had attended till he suddenly attacked her and injected her with syringe. Could she be in danger?
There was a giant gate ahead of her and when she looked at her left and right all she could see were different dark tunnels. When she looked up, she saw a small circular opening distance away with which a little light reflection came from. She'd been kidnapped but by who? She made a move to stand up when the gate ahead of her suddenly opened and someone walked in.
Her eyes widened in awe upon seeing the beings face. He was handsome. No, he was a beautiful man that possessed white hairs that reminded her of Taynor. His eyes were red and she couldn't look into it for so long since it was quite strange. His looks were striking, almost to that of Taynor's. He was too perfect to be real. He walked gently to her on his black garment that swept the floor and his hands behind him. Everything he did seemed to remind her of Taynor but who was he?
"I'm Locken"he said suddenly, startling her like he could read her mind.
"What?!"she questioned
"I have given you an answer to your thoughts"he cooed.
She watched him carefully, he was too gentle, the way he stood was extremely perfect, the way he spoke was so heavenly and his voice was enchanting.
"What do you want from me?"she twitched her eyes in fear. Somehow, even though she loved the outward appearance of the being, she had a feeling he was extremely dangerous. "Did you bring me here?"
Locken smirked "Only you can bring me your mate, Taynor"he stated.
She gasped immediately " How did you know him? He's done nothing to you. So let me go!"
"Silence!"he immediately shunned her and her mouth magically sealed. She couldn't speak again.
"Mmmm, mmm, Mmm"She mumbled
He moved closer to her and crouched to her level on the ground ever so gently using his fingers to caress her face, while also brushing back strands of her scattered hair and she recoiled in fear.
"A daring feeble human"he cooed "You won't be here long"he whispered, then stood up and immediately left, shutting the gates back with his powers
"Ahrg!"Zenia shrieked as he finally freed her mouth while leaving and she frightfully scrutinized her sorrounding carefully, she stood from the ground and instinctively began to run into the dark right tunnel. She had to escape, she needed to escape. She didn't want Taynor to come and find her or else that creature might kill him but she tiredly fell to the ground in the dark tunnel and she clamped the wall to wedge her self from falling even harder but on touching it, arrows suddenly attacked her from hidden places and she shrieked immediately feeling a stinging pain on her arm. Blood began to seep out from the wound and she cried in confusion and dismay while completely falling to the floor. She had to escape if she wanted to save Taynor. She had to accomplish this one for him.
**DRASULE**
Joan was able to journey her way through the woods and other kigdoms and had finally arrived at the gate of Drasule while thinking of a plan to enter the kingdom just like she'd done with the others. It was a big risk she was taking but it was worth it.
She heard a horse neigh behind her and she turned instantly to see the horse riding a carriage. She was quick to act smart as she ran behind the carriage which had stopped and crawled to its bottom to hide. The carriage began to move and she clamped tight to the base so she wont end up falling and soon she heard the gaint gate open. She could now sigh in relief knowing she'd finally gained entrance into the kingdom.
It didn't take long before the carriage stopped and she made sure nobody was in sight before she crawled out of her hiding place. Just as she stood properly adjusting her clothes, she felt a knife cross her neck. Her breath hitched and she knew she was doomed.
"Intruder"she heard the creature say behind her. "Who are you? Speak or die!"
If she introduced herself to be a witch, she'd be burned instantly and all her hard work to get her sister would be in vain and if she tried to run she will definitely be caught since she was not in her territory.
"Who the hell are you?!"
"I'm Joan"she raised her hands in surrender.
"Stupid! I didn't ask for your name"the creature snapped. "You don't have our scent nor the peircings"he sniffed her.
"I'm a wit...."she finally surrendered

"Hah!!" the creature suddenly gasped and next his grip around her neck loosened, proceeded by the knife falling and she turned sharply to know what had happened. The creature had fallen to the ground lifeless and when she looked up ahead of her, she saw a lady holding an arrow and dressed in an amour with a mask on her face.
"Follow me!"the lady said and she didn't even waste a second as she obeyed immediately.
****
Lilian fell to the ground for the umpteenth time making Taynor so angry, he'd wanted to just kill her but he had slowly began to learn how to control his demon and supress his powers, so he won't use them unnecessarily. All these was for Zenia.
"Get up Lilian"his voice clearly portrayed irritation and frustration.
"I'm sorry Taynor. I know this isn't right and I'm being a burden to you but I really do want to help you"she pouted.
"You can't help me Lilian. All you've done since we began this journey is to slow me down. Tell me where the hell Zenia is!"he growled.
"But....."
"Not another word Lilian. I'm taking you back!"he stated as he picked her from the ground and began to drag her.
"No Taynor. Please no"she pleaded "I just want to be by your side okay? I admit that I do like you now"she cried out.
He stopped immediately and she quickly removed her hand from his hurting grip, her face red already.
"I like you okay. Don't treat me so badly."She cried.
"You can't like me Lilian"he raked his hand through his hair sighing pathetically.
"Yes, I can't like you because I'm already in love with you"she expounded already in tears as she moved closer to him "Don't send me back Taynor. I want to be with you"
"Lilian this isn't....."he was instantly cut short as her lips landed on his and he was too startled to even think.
She kissed him like she would never let go of him again but all of a sudden, her eyes turned white and she shifted away from him as she fell to the floor gasping.
Taynor was so confused on what was going on and seeing her fall to the ground just while she kissed him was more startling. He crouched to the ground and wanted to touch her but he couldn't, a transparent shield held her in and he couldn't access her. He hit on the shield immediately screaming,
"Lilian, Lilian, can you hear me?"

She just sat still, unmoving but she saw something, a perturbing image that displayed in her mind then without warning, she found her self in a dungeon which was very familiar to her. She walked further and she saw an unconcious body on the floor, bleeding. She looked closely and she found out it was Zenia. She was about bending to touch her just to know if she was still alive but then she heard the gate open and she quickly hid.
A beautiful man walked in but stopped in his track instantly and then turned to her direction while staring at her like he could see her. He looked her right in her eyes and then he smirked. Could he actually see her?
"Lilian, Lilian!"she heard Taynor call as he shook her repeatedly.
She fell helplessly on the ground while breathing hard. Her eyes slowly turned back to its normal colour and then she looked up to Taynor with teary eyes.
"I saw Zenia"she stated. "She's in a dungeon with a very beautiful man. He seemed too powerful. I think he could see me even in the trance"
Taynor sighed already knowing who she was talking about. The hundred year demon.

"I guess when I kissed you, it connected our minds together"she added.
"Are you okay?"he asked with concern and she slowly nodded as he helped her up from the ground. "We should be going"he noted.
"How? Do you know where that place is?"
"That should be a question for you. You saw it all" he arched his brows.
"The dungeon actually looked familiar. On one of the wars I went to, I and my war mates were locked in there. I just can't place my finger on the exact kigdom"she explained.
"Remember, okay?"he urged
"Cyprus!!"she said "Yes it was Cyprus. The north east direction from here"she smiled "c'mon let's go"she began to move but he held her hand.
"Thank you Lilian"he said and the next minute they both teleported.
Back at Drasule, Joan sat with the lady that had saved her in a hidden cave as the lady mixed different paints together quietly still with her mask on.
She sat quietly because she wasn't sure if she was suppose trust someone she'd just met but considering the fact that she saved her, she had to.
"I'm a witch too Joan"the lady finally spoke and pulled off her mask.
Joan's mouth dropped open and a gasp escaped.
"Gina? Holy crystal!!"she exclaimed and Gina smiled.
"What the hell are you doing here?"she asked.
