The Sun, the Moon, and a Prophecy

Chapter 19

I lost track of what day it was. I lost track of time. I didn't care about anything except learning everything I can about Charlie. I learned that he was named after my father, and that he was locked away when he was 15. That would make him 32 today, and he told me that he didn't even know that because they wouldn't tell him what year it was. He told me old stories about growing up, and all of the times he gave our mother a panic attack. He told me him powers were basically unlimited, and the only thing he can't do is control the elements. This surprised me, and then we decided to show each other our powers when we got out of here.

"Charlie, do you think we will ever get out of here?" I asked.

He shrugged, "I know you will because you're getting married in two days."

My brain clicked and I asked, "Charlie, if I'm not the child of the prophecy then why am I still marrying Jasper, and why does Mason care so much that I do?"

I said, "That's what I've been wondering. It just doesn't seem right, but we can't find out for sure because we are stuck in this cell."

An idea dawned on me, "We are stuck in this cell, but others can come in right?"

Charlie looked at me, "Whatever you're thinking sis stop thinking it."

My excitement was uncontainable, "Yes, that's it. We can summon someone else here." I beamed, and concentrated on my spell. I thought of my Aunt Lucia, and then burst the power out of me. When I opened my eyes I saw my magic collecting into one bright orb. The orb popped, and Aunt Lucia was standing there with a confused look on her face.

She saw me, and scrambled over to me, "Oh my sweet flower what happened?"

Charlie whispered, "Aunt Lucia?"

Aunt Lucia looked at Charlie, "Charlie? Oh my gem you're alive!" Aunt Lucia launched herself at Charlie, and started sobbing into his shoulder. Charlie did his best to hug her back, but his chains wouldn't allow him to get far. I saw tears start to fall down Charlie's cheeks, and a small smile on his face.

Aunt Lucia pulled back, and looked at the two of us, "What in the wide world of Enchantment happened here? Why are you guys in chains? Who put you here?"

I answered, "These chains prevent us from casting any physical spells, but apparently mine are defective because I just summoned you here. Charlie has been here for seventeen years, and I just got here well I think yesterday, but I can't tell. What day is it?"

Aunt Lucia gave a sad smile, "Your wedding is in two days darling. They told the people that you have decided to stay in your room, and have a three day long time of prayer. I knew it wasn't right because I know you wouldn't want to be cooped up that long." She laughed a little, and then her face went back to a look of sadness.

Charlie spoke, "Aunt Lucia is there any way you could get us out of here?"

Aunt Lucia's face creased with thought, "I believe so, but as soon as I break these chains the alarms will go off, and Charlie will have to transport us right away. I don't care where you take us just as long as it isn't near here."

Charlie gave a faint smile, "I believe I know exactly where to go."

Aunt Lucia nodded, "Then let's begin." Aunt Lucia faced her palms up, and a dark red glow came over them. Suddenly, vines sprung out of her hands, and snapped against the chains causing them to shatter. Alarms sounded, and Charlie put his arms around me and Aunt Lucia. The world turned white, and we were transported out of the cell.
