Chapter 23 ~TWENTY TWO~

******
Evelyn weakly flickered her eyes open and she found Caluum staring at her. She leaned up on the wall behind her and instinctively brought her hair foward to check it and half off the hair was already red.
"I'm running out of time Caluum"a tear slipped down her eyes "I really want to see our son before all this happens"
"I know a place at Zoria, we could find Taynor faster"Caluum said.
"Lets be quick, okay?"she whined while Caluum picked her from the ground as he supported her and slowly began to go but suddenly, the trees in the woods began to shake and there was great wind that blinded everyone except Caluum and on the wind stopping, Caluum peered closer to know what had happened and then he saw a tall figure and he gasped
"Locken!"his eyes widened
"Hello brother"Locken smirked loving his unique entrance "running with your cursed wife?"
"You....you...you died"Caluum stuttered.
"Oh brother, it seems you were so happy about my death"
Evelyn upon regaining her stance and finding out that it was actually Locken standing in her front, she was more than shocked.
"Locken?"her eyes dimmed.
"Evelyn"was locken's cold reply.
"You are reborn after all. What do you want?"Caluum asked.
"Did you really think you would hide behind the walls of Drasule for eternity?"Locken asked and before Caluum could realise what was happening, Locken had taken Evelyn and trapped her.
"Let her go!"Calluum yelled
"You should have been the one who let her go twenty eight years ago"Locken stated.
"You knew Locken! She was my mate. Just let her go now. It's all over"
"It won't take a second and I would drill your fated throat"
"Calluum..."Evelyn whispered
"Locken!"Calluum yelled "Let her go"
"You caused my death. Why should I do what will please you now?"
"I didn't kill you"
"I never said you did"smirked Locken "fight me brother. I want you to fight me brother!"he tried provoking Caluum but he still didn't move.
"I don't want to. I owe you nothing"
Locken's eyes turned red and he suddenly threw Evelyn and used one hand with his power to hold her on the air. " You owe me a lot. From your son down to you" he replied angrilly it was then Evelyn found words to say.
"Don't touch Taynor"she panicked still on the air. "I am the one you want. Kill me instead"
"Of what use will you be to me if I killed you Evelyn?"
"Locken!!"Calluum yelled for the umpteenth time.
"You stand there to shout my name. Yet you do nothing. Have you truly become so weak?"he creased his brows. "I will eventually make you pay brother, right after I kill your son"
"No, not my son"Evelyn begged as a tear trickled down her cheek and dropped from her face to Locken's open palm.
Locken quickly looked at his palm and suddenly became confused and when he looked at Evelyn, his heart squeezed and he felt a striking pain. Swiftly, he released her from the air and Caluum was quick to hold her but before they could even look at Locken again, he dissappered.
"Are you okay?"He asked her and she nodded before whispering.
"We have to hurry" and quickly they began their journey to Zoria.
Whilst journeying, Evelyn could only think of what Locken really wanted and who must have made him reborn. When she had been captured by Calluum while she was still eighteen, she dreaded the demons with passion but when Locken had approached her days after she'd been in Drasule, she became friends with him. They would play together and do almost everything together and most people thought they were fated not until the day Calluum pronounced he was to marry Evelyn that everyone was shocked.
But, Locken knew all along that Evelyn loved Calluum, since she'd always told him even the day he took her to bed, Locken knew, but what Evelyn didn't know was that, Locken had slowly fallen in love with her and no matter how many times she told him she loved his brother, he still thought he had a chance with her.
During that period also, the two brothers were struggling for the throne since their both parents had died. A brutal fight ensued between the two on the day of Evelyn's wedding but no one won instead, Locken fled away for the fact that he wasn't able to get the throne nor Evelyn. Few month later, before Evelyn conceived Taynor Locken was back, fully armed and prepared to defeat his brother but unfortunately he was seized by the palace guards
"Take him away and lock him up!"was Calluum command and it was obeyed strictly.
However, on their way to the cell room, Locken became so aggressive and snatched a sword from one of the guards. Without hesitation, he stabbed himself and died.
Few days later, the room where they kept his body for cremation was ambushed and burgled and his body was taken away never to be seen again.
Evelyn sighed, not wanting to think more as she jolted to reality and realised they had reached the kingdom of Zoria. The gate slowly opened for them and they walked into it like they had been expected all along.
They arrived at a house that looked a little bit sacred and scary. So, Caluum instructed the guards to wait outside while he went in with Evelyn. A monk, stood by a table in his black cloak facing a window.
"Whom do you seek?"his voice blared.
"You"Caluum replied, then the monk turned.
"Follow me"

He took them into a dark room that was lit by a small crystal ball that sat on a round table. The room had dark curtains and shady paintings and since Calluum could see in the dark he felt safe so he held Evelyn comfortingly.
"What do you search for?"the monk asked.
"My son"Evelyn answered desperately.
"For every sight you see, your power drains"the monk warned "Do you still want to proceed? "
The two fated looked at each other and then Evelyn replied.
"Yes"
"Then follow me"
She quickly gave Calluum a reassuring smile before letting her hand out of his grip and following the monk and they stopped at the crystal ball place, a few meters away from Calluum and he held Evelyn's hand and joined their foreheads to be connected
She found herself in a room where she saw Taynor carrying a girl on his shoulder and she smiled in relief but the feeling didn't last for long because as soon as Taynor finished laying the girl in the bed he looked through the window and there she saw her mother staring at him evily. Flash of light passed swiftly like memories through her mind without warning and she almost lost balance but when it was all gone, she opened her eyes breathing heavily.
