I lay on Zyphyr's chest, my tears soaking his shirt up. "Look at me," he says again but I don't, I just can't. He pulls away and grabs my chin making me look at him "We will find who is behind all these okay? I won't give up on you- on this" he reassures me again and I simply nod. He gently kisses my forehead and I gasp internally even with million butterflies all over me. No one's ever done that. I look up at him trying to find words but yet again I just can't. We both look around as we hear a scream, Alias sound. "EVELYN, HELP, HELP!" Zyphyr gets on his feet and starts running in Alia's direction but I yank him down, preventing him to run. He gives me a serious expression that says are you out of your mind. "Are you freaking out of your mind?" he asks me. I was so close to what he said. "Alia will never call me for help, not when I am in such a mess and with my mom and Coven there. We should have heard their voice too. Alia will never do that" I finish out and I watch Zyphr take in every word I said. "Who do you think it is, to set a trap as that" Zyphr looks at me like I am some sort of famous detective.
"My, My I did underestimate you didn't I" A dark, cold, harsh voice arises from the wall behind me and Zyphr causing us to jump and turn around. A tall dark figure, with black smoke from his body like he was a part of the floor of the pathway, stood there with a couple of people behind him with a hood. Zyphr yanked me behind me "Who the hell are you?" Zyphr shouts at them. He lets out a low chuckle, he doesn't answer the question but gives a sign to his henchmen and they come towards us. Zyphr kicks some of them and I do too. We fight and fight until my whole energy is drained, I bet Zyphrs is too but he fights them with so much energy I don't know-how. Almost every henchman of his is now on the floor. We look at the guy with the gas around him, his hood covering his face. His hand is now clenched clearly angry by how we took them down. He loosens his fist. "You two make quite a pair in fighting" His voice is cold "now since you passed my first test now shall we proceed?" he speaks again. Zyphr looks at me and I look at him. Test? First test? So, there are more. How freaking pleasing. "Why the hell don't you tell us who you are and what is this test" I spit out. I cannot take things anymore, never again. I am angry and I feel like power rising in me. "Elektra's anger is no way near to yours I see. I believe you have met Hemera." He keeps talking and I am done listening to his bull crap. "Who. The. Hell. Are. You?" Zyphr is worse than anger, I could feel it from every word.
"I am tired, let's go," he says and walks. This guy is getting on my nerves. He just walks away as nothing happened? He acts like he is damn good. Asshole. A magical bubble surrounds Zyphr and me, out of nowhere. We both do several things to get out of it. "It's no use," a guy with a mask says behind us. "Where are you taking us" I seethed but he did not answer. "Let us out you coward" Zyphr screamed trying to break through the ball of magic. We tried several methods on how to get out of this but none smees to work. A man or whatever he is made of sets a trap then later walks out of the wall knowing who I was and every detail of mine lets out a group of his henchman to attack us as a part of whatsoever test and now is taking our powers and us to who knows where. "I don't think he is some ordinary man" Zyphr whisper shouts at me with a serious look on his face and I nod. "Queen Elektra trusted him," one of his henchmen says. she believes this guy, no way. I scoff at his statement, he thinks I'm going to believe him so easily after everything happened. In his freaking dreams. We reach a dark room, the bubble bursts causing me to fall on Zyphr. How charming. "We wouldn't be wanting your boyfriend for this test but he can watch you" The hooded man with black powers spoke. We were in a dark room Zyphrs hands were now sealed. He is watching me with a worried face.
The man comes closer with a syringe in his hand and a chill runs through my spine. Before I can even speak the man talks with his harsh voice "One word from your mouth and he is dead, and likewise" He points at Zyphr and he gulps. Why wasn't Alia, Coven, or my mother not coming to help us? Why does it all seem like a plan, because I hope it is not. The man comes closer to my face with the syringe. I could feel the power inside him, the power so dark revolving around his entire body, he has nobody but just power. What is he? he grabs my face harshly, I swear I did not feel his hand it was just air, and then he injects the syringe on my neck."Say hello to your sister for me" His voice is cold, heartless more like he killed her, but where was I going? I look around the room as I begin to panic, The room begins to blur, There are severe; hooded henchmen around the room, I lock my eyes on Zyphr who is crying. I have never seen Zyphr cry like this. My body is now panicking more than ever and my vision fades into pitch black and I see myself.
