King Of The Lost || √

23: love you,

Hortensia

"Mommy?" I call out when I enter my home after a long day in school

"Mom!" I call her out and she turns around the corner and smiles at me.

"How was school today honey?" She goes behind the kitchen counter and I place my bag on the chair and sit on the chair next to it.

"I tried what you told me. But he rejected me. He said my hair is not pretty enough."

Her expression turns angry as her lips curl up."That little shit will be killed by me. Let me get my shotgun."
My eyes widen. Mom never says anything like that.

I narrow my eyes. "Dad. Stop it. "

Dad who is mom now smiles. "What do you mean honey? It's me, Mom."

I roll my eyes. "No matter how much a good illusionist you are, you can't fool me."

But as his face changes from Mom to his own I realize.

He fooled me.

It was him all along.

It was all an illusion.
Just a fucking illusion.

And then there was ice and snow and wind and I can't see anything. The sound is too loud. It's too noisy as it drowns out everyone and everything.

A strong snowstorm takes the party by surprise and nobody knows what to do since they haven't seen an ice creator in decades.

A hand grabs my elbow as I am dragged. The snowstorm stops as I am distracted.

Ice and smoke surround the room and I can't see anything.

The air gets clear in a second and I see Aries playing with the air. Everyone had a shocked look on their face. Raiden's eyes were wide. The same eyes as Celeste. He is our brother.

Dad did this all. My father did all this and I was the one to torture Petunia for what I thought her father did. I am disgusted by myself and the blood that runs in my veins.

Two bullets echo as they hit my father in the legs. My people missed.

Petunia turns around and runs along with Amanda. Fred watches this all with wide purple eyes.

We lost this time. Because they had the element of surprise.

A guard captures Amanda and puts her on her knees. She tries her best to get away from his cage but he has her mouth shut so she can't say any spell.

"Catch the ice girl," Moon says as he looks around.
It all happened in such a quick motion. Blaze has me hiding right behind the stage and he went out before anyone could notice him gone.

I could sense our soldiers running. Amanda gets a manacle on her neck and the guard lets her face go. She coughs as he pushes her to the ground.

She looks around and I know what she is about to do.

"Grab her. She had the death pill." A voice rings out from the crowd. A fucking seer.
