Magic, Strength And Speed

Chapter 23- Vauled

Vixen's Pov

When I opened my eyes it took a minute for it to adjust to what it was seeing. For one thing, though the surroundings were dark, there was a light shining directly in my face. It's days like these where you hate everything. When I tried to move my arms to get it out of the way, something restrained it from doing so, or pretty much anything.

Though it took a while, I finally found out my situation.

I was tied to a chair and stuck in a cave.

Okay, what happened this time? Kinda new at this buuuut I guess most of the time I'm doing new things. A voice shook me from my thoughts. "Well, well, well! Little princess has woken up!" A higher pitched voice but sounded to be male. When someone came into my view, I knew this was the owner himself.

"Hey baby. You are part of the Guard right?" His smile turned twisted when he looked at me. He was small for an adult, most likely under 5'6 and skinny. Barely any muscle on him so he couldn't have done the dirty work. He wore a outfit that resembled something a royal figure would wear and stood like he was too. His hair smoothed back and tended to.

"You see, I know because I have a record of everyone who is currently in, training for or no longer in the Guard and you Miss Vixen, are one of them! A captain or commander or somethin' like that, correct?" He didn't wait for an answer. "You are perfect for blackmail! They give me money and get you back in return! Ah!" The man sighed with joy. "I love how easy it is to manipulate people!"

Suddenly it came back to me.

"So here we are! The crime mountain itself!" Bliss's voice rang through my head. "Crime Mountain and there is a village right next to it? Whose idea was that?" Ember commented. A flash of a mountain with a slightly snowy top and rocky cliffs and paths on it.

"Split up, find that killer and just ask if you guys need help. I'll take the lower right. Bliss, you can take the upper parts and Ember, go for the other side of me. Meet back here if it starts to become night." The sound of my own voice echoed my ears as if it were being said to me.

Flashes of walking and then using the communicating gem came back. "I think I found something guys." My own voice once again echoed. "Me too." Ember answered back. "Huh, nothing up here." Bliss sounded disappointed. "I think I found an entrance inside the place. Looks kinda sketchy so I think a criminal would go here." Memory me was quick to respond. "I think I found a trail but it is really fresh and it kinda looks like-"

Like a trap. No doubt in my mind it was. The memory ended and I came to. Really Vixen? Falling for a trap as simple as that? Come on! I mentally scolded myself.

"So you caught me. Good job. I would clap but you see the problem here?" I rolled my eyes a bit before locking on to my captor. "Aww! Thank you very much girl but no need. Please keep your hands to yourself and enjoy the ride!" He laughed and flashbacks of Bliss and Ember laughing at their own jokes came back to me.

"Anyways, I will have to contact them soon. Oh and just so you know, I took care of your little friends." I froze and looked at him. Great.

"What does "Took care of" mean? Like gave them cookies and tucked them in for bed?" Why am I being sassy now of all times? Why?

"Ha ha, no. I mean I threw both of them off a cliff, or more like they fell."My heart dropped.

 "You see, that faster one, the non magical girl was chased up the place by my large group of henchmen. She happened to run into the magical on and they fought us. But in the end, we won and they both fell together. Funny huh?" He laughed and turned his back to me. Rage started to boil within.
