Oblivion

Chapter 8

     Days passed by in agonizing slowness, Serenity didn't come out of her room worrying her brother. But Avalon didn't think too much on it, mainly because they dropped a major bomb on her and it was a lot to handle. "What are you doing?" a deep heavily accented voice said behind her. "Not now Eli, I'm busy." Eli snickered moving closer to Avalon running his finger tips over her shoulders. "Stop." Avalon gritted flipping through a book in front of her trying not to be affected by Eli. "Come on love. You know you missed me and what we had." Avalon stood pushing him away from her, "That was a long time ago Eli. Don't try to pick up what we had centuries ago." Eli held his hands up smirking at her, "What are you working on Ava?" Avalon sighed shutting the book. "Trying to figure out how to show Serenity her past, to make her remember but I can't do that without showing everything that has happened over the years. Even the ones I wasn't there for and I doubt anyone would want to see shit they've tried so hard to forget." Avalon said pushing her hair out of her face closing her eyes in frustration.  "Then we will force her to remember. Train her to use her powers because we can't use finish Draco once and for all." Carson said walking into the room. "We can't force her to do something she doesn't want to do." Avalon said even as Jules pulled Serenity into the room. Her eyes had dark circles under them and she was skinnier than usual. She looked sick and afraid. "God you look horrible." Scarlet said following Aaron into the room. Serenity didn't say anything just stood there in complete silence, afraid of anything that moved around her including her own shadow. "Serenity I love you and want the best for you but you can't keep feeling sorry for yourself. We have shit to do and it can't be done with you starving yourself and staying awake all the time and going days without sleep." Jules said in a huff. Serenity looked up her gaze dark as if she was dead, a walking zombie without any hope at all before she nodded. "Fine, but I don't know what it is that you want from me." Everyone turned to Avalon expecting her to say something. "You are all going to regret this and I better not hear a damn word about it. Because even I don't know what is going to happen." Avalon said angrily before preparing herself for what was about to happen.

   Serenity watched as her oldest friend sat in the middle of the floor her legs crossed and her eyes close, Jules was close beside her whispering into her ear. "If it becomes too much stop." Jules said sternly always the mother of everything. Serenity thought with a sense of sarcasm. That all stopped when the lights shut off and a cold wind started before her making every nerve of her body to stand on edge before she saw blurred images around her.

  "Ian where are you?" Olivia said moving around the room fear in her voice as she walked alone in the dark woods. Twigs snapped around her making her heart race and her breathing to increase. "You look as if you seen a ghost." Olivia turned around quickly but no one was near her. "Ian I swear to the gods that if this is your idea of a jest I will personally gouge out your eyes with your own dagger."  Low laughter rang through the darkness as a strong hand wrapped around Olivia's slender neck and slamming her against a tree. "You think I jest, but my sweet I am not nor will I ever be your little Ian. You see he got in my way so I had to take care of him myself."     Olivia pushed at the man who held her windpipe but he enjoyed her struggle. "Who are you?" Olivia gasped softly. "Ah how rude of me. I'm Draco." 

The image bleed into another, one more intense than the last. 

Laughter rang into the air as Avalon kissed Eli her smile radiating around them. "Shhh love or you'll wake the children." Eli said kissing down her neck causing Avalon to sigh softly her eyes closing as she leaned her head against a rock wall. "Then you should stop before they wake up." Eli chuckled lifting her up and walking to a dimly lit room and laid her down on animal furs running his fingers over her face gently. "I'll never stop Ava. I promise you that, you're mine and always will be." Avalon nodded slowly before the image changed, this one full of screams.

    "Draco stop! She's just a child!" Scarlet screaming as she was held against the floor a large booted foot holding her down as she struggled against chains. "You defied me and you wish I grant her freedom!" Draco shouted walking over to Scarlet and grabbing her as the guards let her go. "Please Draco, she's my only family. Don't hurt her." Draco smiled it was one of sheer evil and he let her go and went over to the girl who was no older than sixteen years old. "As you wish." Draco said dropping the girl to the ground nodding to the guards who let Scarlet go. That was before she was grabbed by her chains and dragged away as Draco sat on a throne waving to some guards who proceeded to rape the girl. "NO!" Scarlet screamed pulling with all her strength her bones popping out of place as she fought against the guards but it was no use, the girl was dead.
