  How long is he going to be sleeping? All he knows is eating, sleeping and torturing.

  Bismarck. That's his name, Bismarck Yope. All he cares about is himself and his needs. He's Razack's perfect assistant and the leader of Trizex's trackers. Razack trusts him so much, maybe that's why he sent him here to confirm if Adira's saying the truth.

  I was about ten, and Adira about seventeen. Our parents worked for the Trizex and everything was normal, we lived happily. One night, while Adira was telling me a bedtime story, I still remember it was Three Little Pigs, somebody started knocking at the door vigorously. I-

  "*cough* Where am I?" Bismarck wakes up, breaking me from my thoughts and looks around. His eyes fall on me. "ALEX! You'll pay for this you useless brat!" He tries to free himself from the ropes.

  "If you don't shut up, I'll stuff your mouth with mud, get it?" I pull my chair closer to his and take a knife from my pocket.

  Bismarck stares at it.

  "Oh don't even think about it. I'm not as dumb as you" I laugh. "See this knife? It's Reflesiak" Bismarck can control the element iron. But my knife isn't normal.

  Normal knifes can't kill a Kruzex. To be more accurate, no non-living thing made on Earth can kill a Kruzex. You need to cast a spell to make Earth's objects stronger. Witches are the only beings who can cast a spell, but they had a low status in Minerva. When Minerva got destroyed, witches couldn't escape. The skill died along with them. The knife I'm holding right now is made from Reflesia, It's the place where most of the weapons were made.

  I bring the knife close to Bismarck's neck. "I can't wait to use it"

  "Then use it on yourself bastard!" He shouts angrily.

  "That's it!" I punch his face hardly. Looks like I broke a tooth or two. "You know what you did to my family. I won't think twice before killing you. Answer my questions honestly, UNDERSTAND!" I scream. "Why are you here?"

  "I'd rather die than answer" He replies arrogantly.

  "Damien!" I call. He walks in from the hall and looks at Bismarck and me. His face becomes red with anger. Damien walks towards Bismarck and punches him on his chest. Before Bismarck could shout, I quickly bind his mouth with a rope.

  "Want more?" I threaten him. "The girl you killed a few hours ago was his girlfriend. The only thing holding him from you is me" I stop and stare at Bismarck. "Now, why are you here?" I loosen the rope so he can talk.

  "To check if Bess's here" He replies. "To check if you guys were right. Where's the other Trizex?"

  I realize that Damien is near. "Damien can you give us some privacy?"

  "Who's the Trizex?" He gets angry. "You guys knew each other?"

  "Damien, I'll explain to you" I insist. "If you want to take revenge, please go"

  "Whatever" He mutters and turns to leave. "Keep your word"

  I turn to face Bismarck. "He's dead. I killed him. And if you don't cooperate, you'll be next"

  "I knew it! I knew that you and your filthy sister were like your filthy, disloyal parents!"

  I can't tolerate anymore. I take the knife and make a deep cut on his cheek. He screams in pain as blood oozes down. I reply angrily, "My parents were not like you!"
