Forever and Always

Part V: Leave me alone

They all just stood there for a few minutes until Shirayuki stopped crying. "Alright, I should go see who they are." Shirayuki said with a bit of regret in her tone. Zen looked upset and followed her out to the garden. Mitsuhide and Kiki were right behind them.
"Are you alright Shirayuki?" Zen asked. Shirayuki gave a fake smile and nodded.
When they all arrived outside they were greeted by 3 girls around their ages. "Look what the cat dragged out." Said a girl with blue long hair. She was wearing a knee length sapphire blue dress with lots of jewelry. Shirayuki just stood there like she didn't care what they were saying.
"Um excuse me, but who are you guys?" Zen asked.
The girl in blue looked startled. "I guess we should introduce ourselves. My name is Layla. I am know as the water Mage." Zen, Mitsuhide, Kiki, and Obi all looked suprised.
The girl with brown hair and a flowy green knee length dress. "My name is gardenia, the earth Mage." She said in such a sweet calming voice.
"I guess that leaves me. I'm Shiroyoru. The sky Mage." The girl with beatiful blond hair and a short white dress said with a pissed off tone. Everyone one was left speechless.
"So the mages accually exist." Zen whispered to himself.
" Of course we exist. Master Soba spent his entire life looking for us, and we he came to us and told us his story, we pledged our loyalty. At least the three of us did." Gardenia said.
"What about the other one, the fire Mage, the most powerful one?" Kiki asked in a serious tone.
"Oh, Phoenix. She was amazing in everything she did. She watched over us like a mother would. Master Soba loved that about her. He also loved how powerful she was. One year, he locked her in a coliseums and made he fight like 10 different people everyday. She never lost a single battle. Soon she gained the respect of everyone in the kingdom. Everyone loved her. But it seemed like she was growing more and more distant from Master. She was so concerned with protecting us from master, like she saw him as a threat or something. We three got very jealous of her because master fell in love with her. He even asked for her hand in marriage. But she down right refused. Then she ran away from home, leaving master heart broken. We swore we would kill her before she had the chance to harm master." Shiroyoru said very annoyed.
"But unfortunately, Phoenix is too strong for us to fight. Master told us we need to find her before she became an enemy of the kingdom, because of that happened, no one would survive. She is a real monster, but master needs her on our side. If our kingdom was ever to go to war, we could easily win with the powers of Phoenix." Layla said.
" Ever since we met master, he has used us as though we were his weapons. That's all we ever wanted. We just wanted to be useful. But then he said the only way we could be useful was to find Phoenix. We swore we wouldn't let jealousy get the best of us, and we would retrieve Phoenix." Gardenia said.
Layla walked up to Shirayuki and extended her hand and said "let's go home Phoenix." She gave shirayuki a small fake smile.
"my name is Shirayuki, not Phoenix, so please don't call me that." Shirayuki sad madly.
"How f~ing dare you disrespect the name master gave you. We had absolutely nothing until master took us in, He even gave us a name of our own and you still say that's not your name." Shiroyoru yelled at Shirayuki. Shirayuki took a step back and let out a sigh.
"Your just his slaves, nothing more." Shirayuki said in a calm voice taking another step back.
"You little bitch!" Layla yelled at Shirayuki. She started to raise her fist and as her fist got closer to Shirayuki's face, King Soba grabbed her hand and threw Layla to the ground.
"What the hell do you think you doing, raising a fist to Phoenix." Soba yelled at Layla, who was laying on the floor crying. "Just come back home Phoenix." Sona said as he grabbed Shirayuki's shoulder.
Zen grabbed Soba's hand and said "Don't touch her." Soba released his and and Shirayuki ran into the forest. Everybody was in to much shock to follow her.
"You should follow her." Mitsuhide said to zen. He nodded in agreement and ran after her.
