The Last Heiress

Chapter 24

“Its a trap” I said

“Aren't they all.” Dramon said

“Yup” Foxie said

“What should we do?” Curt asked

“What do you think?” I asked

“Leave?” Egan suggested

“Nope. We activate it!” I said walking right where ReBecca wanted me.

“Gotcha!” Someone said

“Hi ReBecca!” I said as a wooden cage came over me, I turned to face ReBecca “Long time no see”

“Stop playing tricks with me girl” ReBecca said

“Oh so I'm the one playing tricks?” I asked

All my friends were around the cage not even trying to get me out, things probably seemed really off for her

“I want to talk to you” I said

“About what your burial preferences?” ReBecca scoffed

“No…about the prophecy” I said

“Oh? So you finally admit it is about me?” ReBecca asked a little too hopeful

“No” I said.  I grabbed my sword and cut my arm

“Are you going to kill yourself?” ReBecca asked

I wielded my cut to heal, I let ReBecca see

“When I turned fourteen I could heal myself, and others” I said “You're not the child of the prophecy”

“You have been with hybri's the whole time, how do you know they didn't grant you with powers. They have done it in the past have they not?” ReBecca asked

“They have but I know it wasn't them” I said “Listen ReBecca you're taking everything the wrong way!” I said

“No you're taking everything the wrong way!” ReBecca insisted “I have a power too, I gained it when I was fourteen just like you, so the real question is, who is really the rightful heir to the throne?”

“The only explanation is that You were heir to the throne but after ruling I was chosen as heir” I said

“It's not the only explanation, Your magic means nothing” ReBecca said

“Please stop blinding yourself with power, Why can't you see that we care about you. I don't want to kill you” I said

“No one cares for me! You left me” ReBecca said

“You tried to kill me!” I said “If you even tried to Embrace me, love me, want me to stay before you tried to kill me, maybe you wouldn't try to kill me at all! Maybe you need to learn to love before you're worthy for the throne again, let me help you. I can heal” I said

“No one can heal a broken heart, no one can fix betrayal. Going back is just not possible” ReBecca said

“You may not be able to go back but you can let go and start over” I said

“No! I will never forgive you! I will never forgive your family” ReBecca said, she grabbed a bow from her back with a bow and shot at me. I swung my sword and deflected the arrow

“Leave” I said hanging my head “I'm sorry you have such a hard heart”

I didn't watch ReBecca leave but I knew she had left, I broke the cage and walked out

“Don't give up on her, she has a chance” Tigress said

“I will never give up on her” I said. “Come on we need to keep moving, if we can make it to the hill then we should be able to have the whole of Lintonia know we are alive and ready to fight, other than what Aribella and the Captain tell the people.” I said

“Going to Pine Hill is the perfect idea, it's only a few day journey from here so that will give the villages some travel time” Dramon agreed

“Well let's start hiking” Foxie said

I led the group again as the others stayed back, they talked as I thought but I wondered what had they been talking about

“I still think we should tell Eadiline, you know how devastated she will be if she finds out” Foxie said

“We can't tell her not yet. It will ruin our plans” I said

“Let's take a rest” I said, I didn't know if I really wanted to hear anymore, so for now I stopped the talking but that only caused more chatter in my head

‘Girls, can you help me?’ I asked

‘With what you want to know…well you won't like it but I can tell you’ A girl who didn't sound like my sisters said

‘Who are you?’ I asked

‘My name is Fate’ the girl said

“So, we are about two days away” Egan said landing next to Curt. They all seemed to be in one big group with me out of it. What were they planning to do?

‘Fate please tell me!’ I asked

‘I'm sorry but I can't tell you only hint.’ Fate said ‘by the time you get to pine hill you will find out.’ She said

“That's good. Hopefully we don't meet many guards on the way there” I said

“We won't be so lucky, there is about three camps, dodging them will take longer and going through them will take energy so we need to decide, which is more important. Time or energy?” Dramon said

“Energy” Foxie and tigress said

“I can save time, flying everyone over the camps” Egan volunteered.

“But that will use your energy” Curt said

I felt bad, they all seemed to get along, did they need me? They were kinder towards each other.

“My wings don't use much energy, I can fly you all to the hill and still be fine, just my arms can carry all of you at the same time” Egan explained

“Just carry us past the camps, you could help Villagers along the way” I said

“Let's rest for right now, some of us haven't slept months at a time” Dramon joked

“Excuse me for saving someone's butt with my uncontrollable healing powers” I said back kind of sarcastically.

“Well you're doing better at controlling them” Foxie said as she laid down

“True” I agreed laying down also. Foxie and Tigress didn't lay next to me, I realized they hadn't done it recently, I didn't know why.

I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep but it didn't come as easily as before, I rolled around a little bit before finding a comfy spot and I started to drift to sleep before I heard noise again. They had all gotten up

“She is asleep. So what should we do, she can't be around for us to do it” Dramon said

“I could  restrain her or distract her as you get it ready” Foxie offered.

I fell asleep after that ‘no why?’ I thought before I started dreaming
