I woke up to find myself on someone's lap. It was so comfortable and the person was so warm.

A Person? Someone's lap?

Isaiah... My heart beat sky rocketed as fear gripped me. I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes, what if it is Azzra again. Shifting slightly I realized that the pain in my back was gone.

"I see you have awoken" He said. Slowly I opened my eyes to meet his green ones, thank God it's Isaiah.

"Yes, thank you." Without wasting any more time I got up from his lap and dusted off the dirt from my dress. He rose also to his full height towering over me.

"I swear dear sister, I will never hurt you again. Please forgive me" dear sister? His words brought joy to my heart and a smile graced my lips

"I forgive you." He returned my smile and without hesitation I hugged him. I can not express how happy I am to have finally found a family member of mine. I've been alone for a long time and at first I was afraid he would not accept me but it turns out fate had other plans.

"How did you know I was here? If I recall I was already here before your birth." Stepping out of his embrace, I contemplated if I should tell him about Cat, she did say not to tell anyone. Well technically he is not just anyone.

"My anchor told me. Her name is Cat. She told me all about what happened to you and where to find you too" I waited for his reaction but he looked confused

"Her name is Cat?" He asked unsure. Then I remembered

"Sorry, her name is Catalyn I'm the one that shortened it" he nodded in understanding before his eyes widened a fraction and his expression changed

"Catalyn as in the Switcher, first anchor with Multiple powers?" Nodding to his question he looked at me in awe. I didn't know she was called the switcher

"Considering I'm still standing here unharmed after what happened I can presume that you haven't mastered your powers yet." I'm no where near that.

"No, I just started practicing. It hasn't been long since I discovered what I can do" His eyebrows scrunched together again

"What do you mean?, looking at you I know that you are more than 16years of age. You should have known a long time ago. How come your mom didn't tell you about It or try to lure your powers out?" He looked very confused, he looked at me as if I were a puzzle

"Well you see it's a long story." One that I'm not really interested in telling right now

"I've got time" I knew he'd say that. I guess I should brief him properly then. With a sigh I began my story.

"Well first of all I never met my mom..." With that I told him everything about what happened. All that happened, how I ended up here, who brought me here, about the attack and the deal I made with the 'devil'. By now he looked beyond mad. I think that has something more to do with the fact that his mother was taken rather than what happened to me.

"So when is the first attack?" He asked looking like he was already ready for battle

"Three weeks from now and I'm no where near ready" and I don't know if I'll ever be actually

"Don't worry you will be" he said looking into my eyes with determination and revenge shinning in his eyes. I could practically see the wheels already turning in his head.

"Let's get out of here, I don't want you to stay here any longer." He nodded. I turned around and started to make my way towards the door when he spoke again

"We can't leave yet" I turned to him, shocked at his words

"What? Why?" why would he not want to leave? I asked myself

"My friend is still here. I can't leave him." Friend? Oh! I totally forgot about that

"Of course, where is he? I shall free him as well." I looked around but I didn't see anyone else here

"He is in the other cell, but you can't see it because it's concealed with magic. We can't see each other but when we talk we can hear each other but over the years, we stopped talking to each other. I don't think I can Even remember his voice, it's been so long." Hmm how do I open a cell I can't see?

"Well you could start by first making it visible" Did I say that out loud? At the speed of light I turned to Isaiah wondering if he was the one that spoke but it didn't sound like him. Instead of answering my silent question he spoke

"How are you old friend?" He asked the wall and the voice spoke again

"Once I'm out of here I'll be fine." The strange voice spoke again

"He could hear us the whole time?" I whisper asked Isaiah but the voice answered in a mock like whisper

"Yes." Isaiah chuckled and I pouted, I didn't know.

"Okay how do I make it visible?" No one answered. I looked at Isaiah and he just shrugged

"What about you stranger? Any ideas" because I was clueless. I needed Cat. But this room is enchanted, once I enter I can't communicate with my anchor. But the prisoners inside can, I wonder why.

A voice broke me out of my thoughts

"No I do not." He said ...Now what to do?

Walking to the wall I placed my hand on it to see if anything would happen but nothing did. Closing my eyes I placed both hands on the wall and took in a deep breath to calm myself. I needed to control my emotions and focus.
Slowly a well known feeling started in my stomach asking to be let out. Cat said to control it. 'Command it, own it' a voice said

Suddenly the feeling intensified and my body went on autopilot. Before I knew what I was doing both of my hands formed into fist and came down with force hitting the wall. The moment my hands made impact, the barrier appeared and now I could see the not so invisible cell gates. With a smirk I brought my hands down again and the gates gave way before my hands even met it.

Whoa!

Taking a deep breath I stumbled back and waited for him to emerge. After a moment a large figure appeared and the moment he stepped into the light my breath left me.

"Thank you my queen." He said
