Losing it

Alric's Pov (1 month later)

It's been a month since I've talked to Animila's mother and found out what's going on.

Ever since then I've watched her more closely. Animila has been getting worst. She's losing her sanity especially with the fact she suddenly can't use her magic. Each day she seem further away from reality. Her moods changes quicker. She tears apart her room in fits. She talks to herself. She'll go periods without eating then eat.

It's really bad and surprisingly it's so supposed to get worse.

After a while I started letting the others visit her in her room frequently. I thought maybe she'll be better with people she doesn't have conflicting feelings for.

I was wrong.

After a few times Animila went crazy with them too. She would cry one minute and then start yelling that it's my fault. It pained everyone seeing her so crazy.

Then she went silent.

For two weeks up until now she hasn't said a word. She doesn't utter a sound.

Everything completely worries me. What's going to happen to Animila?

"Alric."

I snap out of my thoughts at the sound of my name. I look to see Blaze in front of me and Aqua and the twins to his side. That's right I called them to the throne room to talk.

"Sorry I was lost in my thoughts." I say.

"I see." Blaze replies.

Ever since Animila went crazy all of us tried to be nicer to each other for her sake. Surely they don't really completely forgive me for well losing control, capturing them, locking them away, and taking over the world. But hey its a start.

I kicked out everyone else in the castle. All my creatures watch over the outside world. Only my vine stays with me, faithfully around my waist and shoulders.

With the castle empty everything is easier. Less to worry about especially now with Animila's situation.

"Look we need to find a way to help Animila. I know there's only little we can do but we have to help." I say.

I told them all about why Animila isn't normal anymore before. They also know the importance of this.

"We know but it seems she gets worse by the minute." Aqua says.

"We can't let her suffer though." I say.

"It's your fault I'm suffering."

I turn to the new voice to see Animila standing in the very room looking at me. A crazy pained look dances across her eyes.

"Impossible you can't get out your room unless I take you." I say leaning foward on my throne.

Then it hits me. The spell was to keep the girl I knew locked in. She doesn't have magic, her sanity, nor her heart. She's different which confuses the spell and let's her leave.

She gives me a killer crazed grin showing her canines.  Well to be honest her teeth seem sharper then a lion's. No doubt her animal instincts  are playing a part in her behavior.

But as quick as it came, her grin falls into a scowl.

"If it wasn't for you none of this would've happened." She growls.

I put a barrier blocking her from the others. Last thing I need is her attacking them.

"Why couldn't you just control yourself?" She says with sorrow.
