Cassia the Witch

Chapter 9

Lyra ran off into the deep dark forest. It was getting dark soon, it is very dangerous. Especially when we were in the "Forest of Death". "Lyra! I won't do anything to you...! Don't go to that direction! There is a giant cliff ahead filled with monsters and demons.", I shouted at the top of my lungs. "Tch!", I ran towards her with frustration.

"Ahhh...!", I heard Lyra's short lived scream. Why was she even here? And what is she doing here? I asked these questions by myself while running. "Dear God, Heaven's powers, may it cleanse the horror of demons.", Lyra silently said her finger pointed to a vampire. "Come forth...!", Lyra shouted as a bright light surrounded the forest. "What? Surprised..?", Lyra turned her head to me, she was a different person from the one I knew. "I am the strongest exorcist in this world, so is the youngest. And my mission is to destroy you.", Lyra said coldly. This isn't her, who is she? "Do you want to fight me?", Lyra grinned as if she knew I was going to lose. "Who are you?", I asked, I was sure this wasn't Lyra even she looked like her. "I'm Lira. Lyra's younger sister. We are twins.", Lira smiled. "Oh, cleanse the evil. The divine Holy Sword.", Lira held out her hand. "Come Forth!", Lira shouted. A sword that glows a bright light with golden strip the middle appeared in her hand. "Willz. Capture her.", Lira whispered. A boy with sliver hair and red eyes appeared behind me. "The Heaven's Cage.", Willz said silently. "Come forth.", His hand put on me. A cage was closing me in it. "Rantahryi tarah.", I said. I tried to pull the cage apart with sheer strength but it was no use. "Use your strength. It is just a waste of efforts.", Lira smiled sinisterly. "Scream with pain. I will surely enjoy every second of it.", Lira licked her lips, pointing the sword at my heart. I smiled. "You can try.", I said. Lira looked confused but overall didn't care. She stabbed me with the sword through the cage. I fell down lifeless on the ground. Or just it seems.

"That was close... .", I said from behind Lira. "Demon Sword.", I said taking out my hand. "Lira!!", Willz shouted for her. Before she could even turn her head, the bloody red sword was at her neck already. "W-What?! How?!", Lira was utterly shocked into confusion. "T-This is a illusion.", Willz said taking a closer look at the illusion. "Save me, Willz!!!", Lira plead. "One step from you ; she will be dead.", I warned my eyes filled with bloodlust. Willz glared at me with his red eyes. Willz glared at me with anger and silently took the first step. "Last warning.", I said in a very serious tone. "Please help me. I don't want to die!", Lira shouted. Willz rushed forward, the sword sliced Lira's head off. "She is dead. Would you like to be like her?", I asked while smiling sinisterly.

Something just snapped out of me. "W-What...?", I am completely unaware what happened just now but I am holding my demon sword which is covered in Lira's blood and Willz crying beside Lira's headless body. "No...!", I cried. What did I do...? What can I do to fix this?! "Time reverse.", Cassie said from above me. "Mother...!", I was terribly shocked to see her. "Looks like you bloodlust controlled you. How interesting.", Cassie smiled happily. "You evil beings...!", Willz scowled at me. "Use that spell, 'Time Reverse'. If you are strong enough, that spell should be no problem but you will not be able to move for  three days.", Cassie said. "What do you have to gain from it?", I glared at my mother as if she was planning something up her sleeves. "You're a sharp girl. Have you not to move for three days is nothing but a convenience for me and I want to test your powers if it is really powerful. If you perform the spell wrong or you aren't strong enough, you will be in coma for the rest of your miserable life.", Cassie folded her arms and crossed her legs while sitting on her magic broom. "I understand all that.", I frowned at my mother. "Unless if you'd rather living with the guilt of killing Lyra's sister.", Cassie said with a cheerful smile. "I'll do it.", I said with determination. "Good.", Cassie smiled sinisterly. I clearly can't live with this type of guilt. It will make me insane.
