Forbidden Flames (on hold)

Chapter 22

All the snakes were killed by Cruella. Cruella changed herself from a human to a horse. Lucia got on her and they made their way but they didn't know where.

"Cruella, have you ever met Sophelia?"

"Many times milady! Do you wanna meet her?" Cruella asked.

"What? We can meet her?!"

"Yes, milady!"

"Why you didn't tell me earlier?"

"Because I couldn't talk milady."

"Oh yes, take me to her, now!"

Cruella stopped and changed into the human self.

"Milady, close your eyes, put your hands into mine, and don't open your eyes until I say."

Lucia nodded. Lucia closed her eyes and felt like rolling into a storm. She felt like entering in a bright light and then all went to dark. She trembled from the cold.

"Open your eyes, milady," Cruella stated.

Lucia slowly opened her eyes and looked here and there. She examined that everything around her was white. Every tree had white leaves, the grass was white, clouds were white. It seemed beautiful.

Lucia took a step and sparkle light came out of the grass, where she put her step. She ran in the grass several times but stopped when reality hit her.

She looked at Cruella who was smiling while looking at her. Lucia ran to her and said

"Cruella, take me to Sophelia."

"Let's go milady."

Cruella took her inside a huge palace. Lucia looked around and found that the palace was made of golden and white colour. She looked at the floor which was made magically by water.

Lucia was enjoying herself when out of nowhere, a cat came to her and she picked her up. Lucia said

"This cat looked like someone but who?" She asked herself.

"Millie" the cat replied.

"What Millie?" Lucia asked again.

Cat jumped from her and sat on the floor. Cat changed into a human and She was no other than Millie.

"You are a cat Millie?" Lucia asked in surprise.

"Yes, I am sorry Hazel. I had to keep it a secret."

Lucia was about to say something but stopped when she heard a honey-like voice in her ears. She turned around to see who she was, only to find Sophelia standing behind her.

"Queen Sophelia!" Lucia was shocked.

She bowed but Sophelia hugged her. Lucia was shocked by her sudden action which she never expected. She never thought she would meet Sophelia and never even imagined that she would get a hug from Queen Sophelia herself.

Lucia hugged her tightly. Tears made their way into her eyes.

"Shh... Lucia, I am glad you are here," Sophia said.

"Do you know me?" Lucia said shocked.

"Of course, you are soon to be Lucifer's wife. Am I right?" Queen asked.

"Yes," Lucia blushed and said.

"Come inside," She said.

Lucia came inside a huge room which was bigger than the room which she got in the palace.

Lucia was alone in the room. They all left her alone to get fresh. She had many questions in her mind but no answers. Only one person can answer these.

Lucia got fresh. She wore a clean dress and tied her hair. Sophelia came into the room and saw Lucia getting ready. Sophelia went near her and helped her make a braid.

Lucia looked at her through the mirror. Lucia was expecting her to say something, to explain herself but she didn't say anything.

"I know Lucia, you have many questions in your mind and I'll explain myself."

"How do you know, what I am thinking?" Lucia asked.

"I am a mind reader!" She replied.

"Ohh." Lucia was surprised.

Lucia came out of her room with Sophelia. Sophelia took her to the garden and made her sit on the bench. Millie and Cruella joined them.

"Millie explain yourself first" Lucia folded her arms on her chest and questionably looked after Millie. Sophelia smiled at her.

"I am sorry, Lucia. I didn't tell you earlier and we never expected you here." Millie said.

"I didn't know about this but when Cruella's curse got broken, she told me about this place," Lucia replied.

"My mother Emily found you, she took you to our house. Witches are of any kind. We are Cat witches which means that we can turn ourselves into cats. When we first found you, we thought about the forecast that an astrologer did."

"Yes. King told me about it."

"King told you?" Cruella asked.

"Yes, before his death, he called me into his room and told me about himself, his ex-wife, lucifer, and Queen Sophelia," Lucia replies.

"Wait, before we discuss, here is a special coffee made by me." Queen Sophelia said.

A cup and a plate came to Lucia. Lucia was again shocked because it was flying in the air.

"Don't be surprised, it's nothing." Queen Sophelia smiled.

Millie continued her explanation.
