We're Gifted
Chapter 17
Kashton's POV:
Rov-ien area ... (enemy's territory)
I stared into the broken window. It is evening and you can see the stars shining in the sky.
The witches arrived whom I ordered to take the leaders from Wornhill village. They didn't even know that I had been monitoring them for a long time.
I have always been looking for my sister taken by Daisy Esthroven. I didn’t take my sibling because I knew I was weak and young.
But, one day I just found out that  Daisy and my sibling is no longer in Wornhill village. They went to a secluded place, to the forest where only the two of them  lived. I wanted to enter that forest but there was a barrier that was protecting the whole forest. I can't go in there. Daisy knows everything.
I am very grateful to Daisy but my hatred is more intense. I can't forgive them for what they did.
"Master Kashton, they have arrived."
I didn’t look back at the  voice  whereabouts I just kept my back to him.
"I'll follow. Let them go to our old living room." I command
"Yes, master." he left
I sigh. "Finally, I can take revenge on you mom, dad, our whole family. Kriza and I will meet soon." Looking at the night sky
I turned to the window and started walking towards the living room. The surroundings are dark and only candles and torches give us light. I went in front of them. They are still blindfolded and bound.
"Get their blindfold." I ordered the witches immediately followed me.
When they took off their blindfolds, shock was immediately visible in their eyes.
"Shocked? Doesn't my face look familiar to you?" me
"Don't tell me, you are the son of the head of Rov-ien family?" Mathell leader asked
I chuckle. "Why? Do you think you killed everyone except my sister Kriza?"
"I thought you died protecting your sister. You are too young that time, how do you survive?" Timothy
"Timothy, I'm young and I know I'm weak that time. You all believe that the weak shall perish and the strong must survive but, not all weak perish. Weak survive in their own way. Do you think my parents would have died? They are strong for all of you to handle, you all knew it. Sometimes strong perish because of betrayal, sacrifices and protecting the weak one. " Hatred registered all over my face
"I know what we did was wrong but we regret what we did." clan leader Ertian
"We will do everything just don't involve our children." clan leader Heav pleaded
"Why? Did you also think that we, the children of the people you killed, would be affected? No." me
Fear. We are afraid of losing our position because we know your family is strong and the strong will lead. "Clan leader Wyvern
"Your belief and perspective is wrong. Our family wants to live peacefully and away from chaos. How ironic, chaos is approaching us. We did not seek to rule." me
" I'm sorry. If we could turn back time we would want to correct our mistake but— "
I cut Timothy off." But you don't have that power. We are not given the power to control time. "
" Don't take revenge if you don't want to regret later." Clan leader Heav
I closed my eyes and sigh." Watch them. Don't let them escape. Try to escape and there is someone precious to you will die. "I threatened them.
I left  them.

Sophie POV:
Day 1 of journey...
It's late so we thought of resting first. We were surrounded by the bonfire. Zyck and Richrd did it.
Ruben, Rex and Dexter got some firewood.
Tasha and Kriza laid out the bed. My father was with the soldiers and they were talking something.
They were around the bonfire, they are little close to us.
They are stupid that is why they don't know that I am the spy. I am the reason why the golem attacked them, I am the one who did it. I deceive them all. They believe I am a lame and useless person when it comes to fighting.
Tomorrow morning someone will pick me up by a witch. Maybe I'll be ahead of them when we get to where we are going.
"Sophie." Rex called me. He handed me a boiled potato.
"Thank you." I fake my smile
"Are you thinking something, Sop?" Rex worried
" I'm just thinking when we get there, I don't know if I can contribute anything to you. I should have been left alone, I'm just a burden. "Me
" Stop thinking about it. You are here because you wanted to help. There is someone who is able to help others but they tend not to help."Rex
" Finish your meal and go to sleep. We are leaving early tomorrow. "Richard
We agreed to him.
" I'm going to sleep Rex. " me
I laid my bed on the ground. I lay down and started to close my eyes.

Tasha's POV:
Day 2 of journey... Morning...
I woke up because of the person tapping me and the sunlight hitting my face.
"What?!" I complained
"Do you know where Sophie is?" Rex asked obviously worried
Everyone was awake and the others were shouting Sophie's name. Her father was worried too.
"I probably don't know, I just woke up." I answer
"Sophie!" Kriza called so we looked in the direction where sis Kriza was looking.
"Where the hell did you go?" Rex
"I woke up earlier so I thought of going for a walk and I saw some fruit there" he pointed in the direction where she came from
"Really? Pfft ..." I glared at her "Are you sure you were just taking a walk or you did something you don't want us to find out ? "
Everyone was confused because of what I said.
"W-what d-do you mean, Tasha?" She asked me
I smirk "You know what, I'm just talkative but I observe all of you."
"T-tasha—"
I cut her off "Stop acting that you are our ally. Stop acting like you are weak because you're not."
"Tasha what do you mean?" Ruben
"She is the spy. Sophie is the spy." I said
"Tasha maybe you're just mistaken. I can't do that. I can't afford to deceive all of you."
She was crying and wiping away her tears.
As she wiped I could see in her eyes the annoyance. She glared at me but no one notice it except me.
"I can prove it." I said
I saw the shock on Sophie's face "When I noticed someone following Kriza one night. I followed Kriza and I confirmed there was a girl who sends a message using a crow in the middle of the forest. Maybe Kriza can't clearly see that woman because it was dark and she was wearing a hodded robe. I used a night vision potion so I could clearly see that woman's face. " I narrated
"That night before the lava girl attacked our village, right?" Kriza
"Yes. I'm not lying here."me
"No, I don't want to believe you Tasha." Rex
"Of course. You kind of like her, right Rex? Oh come on guys I observe people well. The way you look at her, talk to her, Rex." me
Rex was stunned because of what I said. Everyone didn't dare to talk.
"I've known you for a long time that you're not weak Sophie. You're just pretending. Every time you stumble you do it on purpose. You allow yourself to be doomed to make everyone believe you're weak, you acted weak but you're not. Deceive all of them but I deceive the deceiver. I always deceive you Sophia that I never knew about who you really are. " I admit
Sophie laughed out loud and dropped all the fruits in her hand. "I was amaze Tasha. You really observed well. I really hate all of you." the way she talks, she's different from we used to see
"My daughter, why did you do this?" Her father asked
"Daughter? I'm not your daughter. You just adopted me back then. All of the people dad, you're supposed to be the one notices it because you knew that I can control golems. And because of my power  people who are important to me have left me. My parents left me because of this power of mine. People stay away from me because they are afraid. Dad, you should be the one who understand that I don't like to be this way but, you always want me to be  this way. How can I be a powerful if you don't want me to use this kind of power. I want you to accept me and my power but you didn't. Somehow, there are people who accept me and believing that I am blessed with my power. I'm sorry but you guys are my enemy. " Sophie raised her hand and suddenly we realized that a witch had flown her.
Sophie was holding the broom. We were all silent and did nothing but just look at Sophie as she walked away.
End of chapter 17
