Briar- Book 1

Alive in one, Dead in the other - Chapter 5

Sorry that the story has been a bit hectic so far with everything happening so i've made a little gap between Chapter 1/2 to Chapter 3 (Ashba's death and his funeral to burning down the cave), and a gap between Chapter 3 and 4 by about a day. I don't want everything in the story to be too hectic at times C:

Dialu's POV

So I was following a floating blue woman called Fi to get into a castle. I've had a great day haven't I?

Urgh.

We followed 'Fi' round to the back where there was a cavity in the wall we could get through where the fire had caught it. Except the cavity in the wall was too high up.

"Fi I am not 10 feet tall." Tatiani said, and  could genuinely feel her eye roll.

"Well, you gotta figure something out."

"Why me!"

I stand back  and then run to jump onto the wall. I begin climbing and then say:

"I'll break through the wall at your level, it has a weak spot!"

I continue up the wall, managing to climb through the wall.

"INTRUDER!" A guard shouted, pointing.

I looked at him, tilted my head slightly and rolled my eyes. He threw a knife and I tried to catch it but it caught my hand. "Thankyou officer!" I say while I rip it out of my hand. I transform into a wolf and dash through the guards to get to the downstairs part.

Tatiani's POV

I saw the crack in the wall grow larger with a thump.

"Got you! The girls have a pleasing meal tonight!" A guard says from the inside, dragging Dialu away, who presumably looks like a wolf.

"Miss Tatia? May I suggest something?" Fi says politely.

"Sure."

"I have the ability to rewind time for you, if you'd like me to. But I can only do it once."

To be honest I had no idea what she'd said, because I was too busy trying to break the wall down. Man I was weak.

I manage to break the wall and just about fit inside, along with Fi.

"Augh!" Is heard from another room.

I follow the sound to a locked room. This lock ould be simple to bust.

I hold the metal lock, its effects springing back on itself, causing the lock to implode.

I hear laughing and then a sly,

"Tell me, animal."

I open the door quietly and peek in a little. It was just mother and Dialu.

"Oh yes Tatiani, just barge in. I raised such a rude child."

"No wonder, is it."

"No wonder what?"

"I'm just like you."

"I am nothing like you. Human scum."

"Yes, Queen Ariaru, creating me was something a human could do." Fi said.

"Shut up, slave." Mother said, forcing Fi to move and get forced to the wall.

I create a naginata in my hand, and hold it as if about to hit her.  Mother grabs her sharp crown and throws it at me. It hits my arm and I take it out, with a small cringe.
