Antagonist -The wicked tale begins (In Progress)

Chapter twelve

"Die you evil witch!"

I can hear them screaming inside me...

"Let us out!"

I was still lying down near the shore; I can't move even a part of my body, I can feel their hate inside me... maybe Niklaus was right, I can't handle these kind of spirits yet...

"Don't let them control you, Zarina... create an imaginary rope that ties them to you..." Niklaus was looking right at me, but I can't even blink "You're powerful... show them who's the superior"

I hear footsteps... the sound of wet grass, rubbing at their shoes.

I have to concentrate... control the spirits or it will control me. Focus, Zarina...

"Who are you?" I heard a woman's voice

"We are no harm to you... I am a Hex, same as you." Niklaus stands up "We were just passing by, taking some rest, our horses are there under the tree."

"What happened to your friend.."

"She was just... resting" he lied, he's a terrible liar

"She doesn't look alright..."

"I can handle her... we will be on our way soon" Niklaus was trying to avoid the woman from getting closer to me

"Liar, I can feel the spirits inside her... she made them her banshees!" I felt a pain from my chest as it spreads out through the parts of my body, like a wild fire

"Stop!" Niklaus pleaded

"She's the reason why my sisters are dead!" the spirits are circling inside me

I wanted to scream so loud in pain, but I still can't move a muscle!

"Let us out, she's hurting us!"

"I can't let you out... I own you now, so do what I say!" I shouted in my thoughts

In a moment, all of the agony that's inside my head stopped... it worked, I can control them!

"I love my kind, but I love my sister more..." Niklaus threw a ball of black fire into the woman's face "I'm sorry..." he carried me and ran to our horses, gently placed me on one horse, cut the rope from the tree, and hops on to the other. He was holding my horse... kicked it and it started running.

"Stop!" I heard a woman's voice, everything went fast... I heard a loud boom and everything went black.

***

I heard a loud scream...

I opened my eyes, hot white pain rushed in my head... I placed my hand in my forehead as I got up. I was inside a wooden cage, in the middle of a forest. I can still hear the water flowing, and realized we haven't got away from Dawn hexes in the river. In every corner of the cage, was a head on a spike. I look up, the sun was bloody red... it's almost night

"Niklaus?"

I can't find Niklaus everywhere... what happened to him?!

"Niklaus!"

"He can't hear you..." a woman wearing white dress came to me "We made sure you're far away from him as possible..." she gave me a cold stare, her face was filled with red paint all over it, symbols I cannot understand

I opened my hands and raised it up, tried to use my powers to break the cage but nothing came out.

"It's useless..." she said "These heads of my sisters is the reason why your powers won't work..." she walks closer "My sisters... that the evil spirits killed, which you freed." She was furious
