15: Stone Cold

"Tell me, what do you want from that castle?" I asked her again. It was a question that was simple to answer if you were honest. But Wye Fye's tongue was darker than a jerking cow's waste.

She grunted in response and grabbed the stem of the arrow. She immediately pulled it, causing further bleeding in my foot. I stared at the gash and watched as a knife was swiftly pointed at my eye. Only a little further and she could have blinded me. The knife was just there as if it was threatening me that if I speak again, I will lose my right eye.

"Come with me or die," she stated.

"Kill me and you die. You do know that if I die, I become one of them don't you?" I may not know much about Catastrophes, but I am now oriented about what they were before.

"If I kill you...Sevor will have no reason to leave me anymore."

There was a slight tremble in her voice. I looked up and found her smiling at me with sweat forming on her forehead.

"You don't know that. The world provides us many reasons. Maybe one day, Sevor will trip on a rock and hit his head on a bigger one and he will fall on the biggest rock in the area."

"Shut up!" She snarled and fisted my hair. She yanked me up with two hands and then looked at one of the teenagers from the crowd. "Ryota, take us to that castle and the rest of you!" She made a pause in her sentence and seem to look at everyone staring at us. "Don't wake up any of the twins. If I found out that they heard about this, you will all be out of the family. Wakarimasu ka? (Do you understand?)"

No one replied which angered the woman more. "Do you understand?!" She repeated.

I let out a sigh. "Please answer her, everyone needs moral support. Besides, desperate people like her would commit suicide if you don't. Let us be the good people and swallow our pride for her head to grow further," I deadpanned.

"Ye-yes," The crowd of young ones answered hesitantly. Ryota transformed into a green mossy dragon that was smaller compared to Sevor and Slade. Wye Fye pushed me forward, making me step on my injured foot. Buck was biting his bottom lip hard as he was about to cry. I nodded at him and he straightened his body, wiping the tears that were about to fall from his glossy eyes.

I climbed up on the dragon's back and Wye Fye followed with her bow and arrows. Ryota took a step back and then stretched his wings. He whip his wings once and we were up in the air. I heard Wye Fye curse under her breath as we proceeded towards the castle. My eyes widened when she pushed me off of Ryota. Even the dragon was shocked as he stayed in one place as I fell.

"Oh no!" Wye Fye screamed. She was reaching down but she never did ask Ryota to fetch me from falling. Was her plan was to really kill me?

"Oniisan!" I heard little girls' voice call. I was grabbed by the arms and was carried by two fairies with much effort since they were much smaller compared to me. I was gently placed on the ground and Ryota, together with Wye Fye landed beside me. Wye Fye jumped down from the dragon and I heard Sevor panicking.

"What the hell happened? Why did you push him Wye Fye?" Sevor questioned. The filthy woman ran towards Sevor and hugged him by the neck.

"Sevor! I'm sorry my love. It was just that Lucian and I were going to the castle. He agreed to come with me but then he changed his mind and suddenly threatened me. I was so scared! I didn't know what to do! Please forgive me my love."

She was good with lying. What a rotten talent. "That's good. How can you lie about the wound on my foot then? I supposed I just tripped on one of your arrows." Wye Fye turned around and glared at me.

"You did that to yourself! You stole my arrow and stabbed your foot so that you can gain pity from everyone, especially Sevor!"

Sometimes I wish that I turn into a catastrophe and just make her wither away.
