Lost (Rainiamtor book 3)

questions

POV Rain

Charlie had amassed a group of us to question his sister, should I be referring to her as that? Charlie only vaguely knows her, I looked at the others, Andrew, Meeps, Ember, Razer, Patrick and Charlie, it's a lot of us for one person, yet again she seemed to be the Controller's go-to assassin. 

the group of us, stood just outside the room, "Charlie are you sure about this?" Meeps asked concerned. 

Charlie shook his head, "I have to do this Meeps, I need to know why she's doing this, why she left me in the first place," he said. he placed a hand on the doorknob, freezing. 

I placed a hand on his shoulder, "I've got your back, Charlie, now and every time," I said, he nodded, and pushed the door open.

Lilith was sourced to the bed, with some of Stells's arcane ropes that should be stopping her from using any powers she has. her cloak had been removed and any weapons she had hidden, her eyes were the same colour as Charlie's a deep blue, her hair a light blond, lighter than Charlie's when we first met, although his hair has darkened a lot since we met. she looked younger then Charlie described she should be.

Charlie took the lead, "Hello Lilith, I thought it was time we caught up, it's been a while," He said to her, I stared at the woman trying not to think about how I know her.

her eyes narrow at Charlie, "I have nothing to say to you killer," She spat. 

"Killer? Charlie's not a killer, far from it," I said, Charlie looked at her confused. "If anything he tries to heal," I argued back. 

"If Charlie was born, never existed, then mother would still be alive," Lilith struggled at the arcane rope, "If you were not alive, all our lives would be easier," she snapped. 

Charlie looked down, "You alright?" I whispered. 

his head shot up a wide smile, "Oh yes, I'm alright, I know what kill my mother, it wasn't me it was an unknown lung condition, she's trying to get a reaction out of me, I won't give her one," Charlie said. he turned to Razer and gestured to him to ask his question

Razer stepped forward. "Why did you want to kill Meeps?" he asked.

Lilith laughed, "I was simply following my Master's will," she answered. 

Razer looked near enraged, "a Lie, A very very good, lie, maybe a white lie, the skill to tell when someone is lying, I've been interested in it since I was a young boy, the first person I truly learned to read was Lilith, the sister who would lie and blame me for her problems, a lot, no Lilith tell the truth," Charlie ordered. 

"Fine, Because of Razer, for him to fall, all those he cares for must die," Lilith said. 

"Why?" Meeps asked.

"WHY!? Why? Because I can, because making you all hurt is fun, it makes me, to watch you all suffer, to watch the pain, I've been watching ever since that idiot," She pointed to Ember, "Village was destroyed, I've watched every death, every moment of pain, laughing at it all," 

I was expecting Razer to lose it at her not Charlie, "YOU UTTER MOSTER, HOW I AM RELATED TO YOU I DON'T KNOW!" Charlie snapped, "YOU ARE A EVIL TWIST THING!" 

Lilith laughed, "And there the anger, the reason for killing Crystal, that anger, the raw anger, that's what I want to see," Lilith smiled, "That's what I wanted, your anger, it's what links us," 

Charlie froze, "We nothing alike," he mumbled. he turned and walked away, Meeps went after him.

I looked at the other two, "I need a moment alone, there's something I want to ask her alone," I said, the other two walked out, I stared at Lilith, "Answer me this, why did you kill Abigail's mother?" 

She snicked, "the question isn't why, but how?" she answered, 

"Okay, how?" I asked. 

suddenly her hands were free, like this, suddenly I couldn't move and Lilith stood up, walking over to me, her dagger appeared in her hand, and she stabbed into my gut, I screamed, and the woman drank a bottle of something and disappeared. 

POV Charlie

'I shouldn't have gone in, I should of just let them go without me,' I thought, I fell against the wall, collapsing to the ground. on the bright side, I wasn't crying just sitting there, I looked up to find Meeps staring at me. "I shouldn't have gone in there, but I had to, it would be my luck to end up with a psychopath for a sister, two if you count Ciara," I joked.

"she's defiantly something, are you going to be okay?" she asked.

I nodded, "It's mostly the shock, that woman in there is a far, far cry from the big sister I grow up with, she was like a best friend, someone you would love to be around, now, now she's evil, it's not like Kane or Ceris, she's not being controlled, she's just evil, what could do that?" I asked. 

Before Meeps could answer Rain's voice screamed, I jumped to my feet and rushed into the room, Rain was laying on the floor bleeding moments later, Andrew and Razer joined us, I put pressure on the wound, "She couldn't have got far come on Andrew," Razer said, the two rushing out of the room. 

I was quick enough that Rain didn't pass out, Meeps helped me move him to bed so treat him, Ember came back in, "We're couldn't find her, She probably long gone," he said. "What you Rain, you going to be okay?" Ember asked.

"Yeah, I've had worse a lot worse," Rain said finishing off a healing poison, "she just shrugged off Stella's magic, any idea how?" he asked.

"Maybe she's just really really powerful," Ember said.

I shook my head, "No isn't obvious?" I asked. the other three stared at me like I was mad, okay I could get why Meeps or Ember didn't get it, but I thought Rain might have, "anti-magic, or as it's known on earth, magic, I should of guessed, if she had magic it would have to be earth magic, the same as my sword, it would counter any overworld magic unless bosted by something like an end crystal," I answered. 

the door swung open, and an exhausted Lyria raced in, "Patrick wants everyone in the war room, something is happening,"

In the war room, we found the war map, filled 100s of pieces around the over kingdoms of the overworld, Hilda and Dexter both out of bed, both still hurt but ready for a fight, everyone was here, except Shizuku, "Good, we all here, the overworld is being invaded on all fronts as far as I can tell, frostbourne is now the last kingdom on the overworld," alarms began to ring, "Well it looks like we under attack," he turned to Ember's group. "I have no right to ask you to fight our war, but if you can help it would be appreciated,"

I didn't hear what they said, as I rushed out with Lyria, Hilda and Dexter, they were heading for the armour, I split with Rain and Stella heading straight out to the fight.
