The Loved One

20: Final Battle

A very...Very...Very long chapter ahead!!

Sheena's POV

"Keep moving guys..." I whispered to all of them so that no one could hear us. "We need to hurry before he understands my trick." I increased my pace as I tightened my grip over Arjun who was still unconscious. Jeremy was also helping me in carrying him around.

"But the question still remains that have you planed that already or it was just a momentary decision?? How did you do that???" Nura asked and a smirk made its way on my face.

Well, I should thank Max for that...

"Why have you called me here in the middle of the night??" I asked as I walked in the training room. He was leaning against the wall and was looking at me quietly.

"I need to tell you something...." He said in a hush tone.

"What is it?"

"You can't win James." He said bluntly.

"What are you talking about? You know, should encourage me that I could win over him like others, not to threaten me by saying all this just the night before the big fight!!" I partially shouted at him.

"I know but I won't lie to you...." He closed the distance between us. "We can't kill him in fact no one can!! He lives on souls which is his only strength and only weakness. If you really need to destroy him, you need other princesses. Suhana, Arjun's mother will already be there, if I have judged James correctly..."

"Wait...How do you know this? That Suhana will be there?"

"I was a part of there plan too for a while, but that's not the point....You have to do exactly what I going to tell you. I may not know all the traps he and his minions has set in the castle but I can only suggest you a way to escape from him...with Arjun and that's our only chance."

I wasted no time in thinking," I will do whatever you say."

I mentally thanked Max for everything, if he haven't told me this way...I might have never escaped from that monster. Now, only one thing is left.....to call the other princesses. We have Myra and Suhana already, I need to call the other two.

"Jeremy take Arjun and others out of here." I ordered and turned to Myra and Suhana," You both have to stay with me....We need to show someone his place." I closed my eyes and clutched my blue pendent which was still hanging around my neck and started praying for the princesses, chanting the same words Max has told me to say to call the other princesses.

"What is she doing?" I heard Suhana saying.

"She is calling the other princesses..." Myra replied for me.

My prayer was about to complete when I heard a scream. I opened my eyes immediately and tried to hear for it again, just seconds after that I heard another scream...It was coming from the direction where everyone has gone.

Oh Shit!!

I, Myra and Suhana started running down the corridor. At the end, all my friends were lying on the ground unconscious. A strange black cloud was hovering over their lying bodies. But the most scariest part was that Arjun was no where to be seen. He was not in the black cloud, neither he was anywhere around. God, What has happened here???

Suddenly I felt a stinging pain in the back of my head, as if someone has hit me with something. I heard Myra and Suhana screaming something but I couldn't make out, everything was....blurry and numbing. My vision was doubling, but still I turned around to see the attacker who hit me. I couldn't make out his face but I could see those familiar pair of ocean blue eyes looking into mine. My back hit the ground before I could strangle him. Black spots started appearing in front of my eyes before everything turned black.
