Everyone woke up as soon as the sun began to rise. I saw Annabeth awake the entire time, watching over us as we slept. "Did some of you manage to get some sleep?" Annabeth yawned. She looks exhausted.
"A few hours maybe. Did you see anything while we were asleep?" I asked.
"Yes, I could hear dragons flying over us, so I flew up into the trees and fortified my cloaking spell. They were pretty far away from us, but I was taking no chances, and by the looks of how they were acting, they were guards," Annabeth said.
"It would be wise for us to not fly anymore if we want to keep the element of surprise," I said.
"Vinnie, you can not be saying what I think you're saying!" Jacob groaned.
"Everyone get ready. We are walking from here on out," I commanded.
"We don't even know how deep in the forest the castle is or even in what direction," Bao said. "How are we supposed to see that from the ground?"
"We start heading in the direction of the dragons that Annabeth spotted. Annabeth will use her magic to scan the forest ahead of us, and everyone should switch to hiking and camouflage gear for better comfort and travel. When everyone is ready, we start walking," I said.
I'm on my way, Alyssa. Please hold on a little longer.
Alyssa
The moment when Elijah killed my mother, I played that horrific memory over and over in my head. And now that man was standing before me, and to make matters worse, he was claiming to be my father!
"I could never call the man behind this nightmare 'father'!" I spat. "You are not my father!"
"It seems that Eleanor never told you about me," Elijah shrugged.
Could it be true? Is this man my father? No, it couldn't be; Mom always said my father left before I was born. Mom would never lie to me, would she?
"Your mother, Eleanor, ran way before you were born. She was quite the troublemaker; apparently, the apple doesn't fall far from the apple tree. Since you escaped, you've caused more trouble than your mother ever could," Elijah scoffed as he explained.
"Don't you dare say her name! You have no fucking right to speak my mothers name, you killed her!" I roared in anger.
"Indeed I did. That was her punishment for running away. Eleanor had no right to take you from me! You were meant for greatness and she denied you that!" Elijah snarled.
"From what I've seen so far, I understand completely why she ran from your crazy ass," I smiled. "You're insane!"
Elijah stepped closer, and I got ready for an attack.
"Skeptical. I've got to admit, you look a lot like your mother. After all, we were fated mates. You have her eyes," Elijah said.
"I told you to never talk about her!" I warned.
"You definitely got her temper, at least," Elijah sighed.
"I'll take that as a compliment. Why am I here?" I said.
"You mean execpt for me to scold you for how much trouble you've been causing?" Elijah crossed his arms.
"Don't even try it. I was here for a year and a half and never saw your face. I never saw anything other than a lab or my jail cell all that time," I growled. And we both know that I did cause a lot of trouble back then, so if that's not why you are telling me this now, then WHAT IS IT?"
Elijah sighed and made a little giggle. "My my. You've definitely gotten a mouth after your time in Varrfarrinn. You're even more bold after you found your fated mate. I can't wait to gut a white dragon, and little Vincent will make a great test subject,"
