CHOSEN

Enough

Max and Diana found themselves in...a kitchen? Fuck it! Wasn't that spell supposed to take them to somewhere far from their former location?

"What are you two doing here? Who released you?"

They turned their backs around to face Leah, holding a mug with hot steam coming from it. 

Again, the reality of her betrayal hit them and they just stood. The three of them shared a short moment of silence before Leah broke it,  screaming. 

"Rosa! Rosa they escaped. " She kept screaming out as she walked towards a richly decorated and tiled staircase with golden stair railings. 

"You sly fox." Diana said as she jumped on her from behind. 

"You betrayed the realm and you have no guilt. I'd end you if it's the last thing I do." She spoke as she and Leah struggled on the floor.

Max made a move to separate them but on second thought, decided to let Diana bring some sense back into Leah.

"Guilt? You're all undeserving. I betrayed no one. " Leah said back, struggling with Diana as they pulled at each other's hair. 

"Leah? Leah!" A male voice was heard from upstairs. 

Diana grunted as she roughly got herself off Leah. "Enough of the cat and mice fight, why don't we do this the right way?" She said as danger and anger flicked through her dark eyes. 

Leah dusted herself as she got up. "You really want to go against me?" She smirked as she took three steps towards Diana. 

"I'm putting every dawn memory behind, let's end this." Diana snarled at her.

Leah laughed mockingly.  "If it isn't Diana the meek and humble. Who could have imagined such a scene? You look unusually...dangerous. "

"Oh shut up!" Diana replied her,  her hands making slow ceremonious movements, emitting small green sparkles. 

Leah smirked,  an evil smirk as her eyes changed from amusement to something else,  something dark,  evil.  She made similar hand movements like Diana,  producing red violent sparks. 

"Diana, don't. " Max quickly interrupted when he saw the girls were taking the matter an extra mile.

"I'm putting an end to this madness Max. " Diana said,  completely driven by anger.

"Leah!" Henry rushed down the stairs.  "Leah?" He raised a brow behind her. 

"The pleasure is mine. " She smirked as a red fiery ball flew from her hands towards Diana who dodged it smoothly. It reached a chair in the kitchen,  boring a hole into it. 

"My turn!" Diana squeaked as she sent a thick green vine with thorns straight at Leah who couldn't avoid it. The vine crawled round Leah's neck as Diana raised her up in the air.  The vine getting thicker, tighter and the thorns piercing deeper into Leah's neck,  slowly.  Leah choked and struggled. 

"Diana, she would die!" Max screamed. 

"Just perfect. " Diana smirked. 

Henry, on the other hand,  looked amused. He wore an annoyingly smug smile as he watched the scene. 

Diana took Leah higher into the high ceilings.  She struggled with the vine as blood dripped slowly from her neck.  Her eyes fell on Henry. 

"Henry,  help me,  please." She cried,  lowly,  filled with pain.

Henry only shrugged,  his blue eyes filled with excitement.

"Henry. " Leah called.  He just looked up at her, smiling.

"Diana,  you have to stop. You're hurting her, I think she's realized enough already. " Max spoke again but Diana held on like she didn't hear him.

"Diana!" He screamed.

Diana's hands paused mid-air as her eyes moved from Leah to Henry.  He was ...smiling?

Smiling? Wasn't he supposed to save Leah from her? Weren't they a 'team'? He was enjoying this? Suddenly Diana realised,  she saw it all clearly.  What Darkness had always wanted,  a division.  And she was letting the scene play out right in front of their enemy,  much to his satisfaction.  So of course, he was enjoying every bit of it, it's what they wanted after all. 

Immediately she was washed from head to toe with guilt and shame.  How did she let them get to her? How did she let them get to her? Realising she still held Leah high,  it changed from guilt to anger.  The anger which she had taken out on Leah, she was going to channel it to Henry and make him feel every bit of pain they made her put Leah through blindly.

Her right hand gently brought Leah to the ground as her eyes remained firmly on Henry who was too engrossed,  excitedly watching the show unfold. As fast and swift as lightening, a vine had caught Henry's left leg,  swinging him out of the kitchen and right into a wall.

She walked towards the kitchen door slowly like a predator making a move on their prey.  Blinded by anger,  she walked past Leah and Max on the floor.  Max was tending to Leah's wounds and scratches with the few options within his reach.
