Mystic Legacy (BOOK 1)

Sam's POV
I dragged the soldier's body right in front of me. He's left unconscious after Manny jumped him and knocked him out.

I'm going to try to trap Satan in a prison, a prison made of flesh. Studies show that it's the strongest cell that can trap the devil, however not a lot of people succeeded doing so.

"I know what you're going to do, Miss Silvermoon." I looked up and saw Satan began to walk towards me. I frantically opened my spell book that has the instructions on what to do, but I started to shake.

What if this doesn't go as planned?

I'm risking my life here.

No.

I have to be strong, my dad has taught me to face your fears.

And that is exactly what I'm going to do...

Ariel's POV
I ran by the main entrance of the castle, and found Jess sitting against the brick wall.

"Jess!" I cried out to her.

"Hey Chilli Pepper, miss me?" She gave me a weak smirk.

"Are you ok??" I leaned down to her at eye level. She nodded and she was about to speak, but the pain seemed unbearable she groaned.

"I'm in pain." She chuckled and I laughed with her.

"Yeah no kidding. Where's the others?"

"I don't know where the others went, but Timothy, he's...gone..." She looked at what was in front of her.

"What do you mean 'he's gone'?" I asked with a concerned look. She pointed at something out in front of her and I followed her finger.

Not too far from where we're sitting, I noticed a lifeless body on the ground.

"Oh no." I quickly got up and ran up to the body, it was Timothy.

"Oh no. No no no no no." I began to cry as tears started to pour out of my eyes.

"Jess...Jess what should we do?" I turned around to face her. She's started to get up slowly and walk towards me, but she fell on her knees and cussed under her breath.

I was about to go back to her to help her up but she raised her arm out.

"It's ok I can get up myself." She slowly stood back up, hunched over and she started limping towards me and Timothy's lifeless body.

"Shit." I heard Jess curse under her breath as she looked at the dead body.

She tried to sit back down again, but her legs seemed to be in so much pain, since she had a painful expression on her face.

"Fuck I can't." She collapsed on the ground. I got up and sat next to her.

"Jess, what happened to you?" I asked her. She looked at me with her dark brown eyes.

"Torture, Chilli Pepper, I was tortured."

I looked down at her body and noticed all the bruises and cuts.

"I'm soo sorry." I apologized.

"No, no, I'm sorry. If it wasn't for me, none of your lives would be in danger and Timothy would be alive right now." She grunts in pain.

"Hey guys!" We hear Manny calling us from behind us.

"We need help. We need to do something to Timothy and Jess." I cried out.

"Shit man, damn Timothy." Manny began to break down once he saw his best friend's lifeless body.

"I'll try to do something about Timothy. Jess how much can you move?" He asked.

"I think all of my bones are shattered." She said while looking up at the sky while laying down on her back. "Where's Samantha?"

"She's dealing with Satan right now." I answered.

"Mhm," Jess slowly sat up, grunts in pain while doing so and began to stand on her feet.

"Jess what are you doing?" Manny asks with Timothy in his arms.

"What do you think I'm going to do?" She turned to look at Manny in his eyes.

"You're not gonna go and help Samantha are you?" He's taken aback when Jess just stared at him, telepathically answering his question.

"Are you fucking crazy? Look at you! You can barely walk, let alone lift an arm!" He scowled at her. All Jess did was roll her eyes.

"Don't fucking roll your eyes at me Swift, this wouldn't have happened if you didn't run out of the mansion like a maniac going after your girlfriend."

"Shut the fuck up. Just shut up. Ok? And she's not my girlfriend. Plus, I'm never gonna see her again."

"What do you mean?" I engaged in the conversation. She looked at me and let out a sigh before answering.

"Satan bitch ass killed her. I don't know how or whatever but, she's gone. She's fucking gone."

There was silence. Everyone also didn't make eye contact after what Jess had shared.

"Well no matter what, you're not going to help Sam, I think your help was enough." Manny broke the silence.

"Oh kiss my ass."

"Listen Swift, you want to start problems with me?!" Manny quickly got up and went all up on Jess' face.

"Put your hands on me, I fucking dare you."

"Is that so? You want me to beat you up more than you already are?"

"You know I'm stronger."

"Yea with your broken ribs you can hurt me, oh god Jess is going to hurt me with her shattered knuckles."

They're both all up on their face it literally looks like they could kiss any moment. Jess looks like she's about to lose her mind and go off like a bomb so I quickly stopped the altercation.

"Alright umm can we not do this here? Please. You guys can fight later I guess, I don't know, but now's not the time to fight over this. Please? Pretty please?" I begged the both of them to stop. Manny and Jess both looked at me.

"She's right, let's just help get Timothy back home and we'll be quick to get Sam. She knows what she's doing. I know that deep down." Manny picked up Timothy's body and carried Jess on his shoulder.

We both started walking back but I kept turning back in the direction of where Sam was dealing with Satan.

I don't know what but something in my gut was telling me that I should go help her.

I know, I'm a human being. I don't have any supernatural powers or something but I feel like I can't just leave Sam alone with one of the most powerful beings in the realm.

"Chili Pepper, what's wrong?" Jess seemed to notice that I kept looking back behind me. I looked back up at her while she lays on Manny's shoulder, facing me.

"Jess, I'm so sorry." I said before I ran the opposite direction towards Sam.

"No Ariel! Come back! It's too dangerous!!"
