"Just kill me already."

It crossed her mind. Lena wouldn't deny it. But her conscious still recognized Cena as her sister.
That's why the tip of her sword hadn't pierced her chest yet.
It touched Cena's skin though and Lena could see drips of blood coming from the shallow wound she made.

Clenched her teeth hard, Lena pulled her sword and raised to her feet. The white hair lady on the floor looked surprised but relieved at the same time.
She too, moved her muscles and sat up.

"Go!" Lena said flatly.

"Why let me free?" Cena asked.

Lena frowned a bit. She didn't have to answer that.
"Go, Cena! Before I change my mind." Lena hissed between her teeth.

Cena didn't need to be told again. With one palm pressed hard against the ground, she got up and flipped her white hair a bit before jogged away.
She wanted to continue their battle but she lost her sword after Lena smashed her down and Cena thought it would be better to retreat now.
Step backward this second, run forward the next time. She could make her pay later.

At least that's what she told to herself.

After her twins left, Lena lied her back on the wall. She exhaled her breath deeply, rested her arms and legs for a while.
She just closed her eyes for a few seconds when the metal door headed to the torment door swung open.

Lena quickly took her position, guarded if the person who came out from the chamber was Johan.
But she lowered her sword as she saw two women came out from there.
Both of them had bloodstains everywhere on their clothes and they looked messy. But Kiera not only filled with blood, she also bathed with her own sweat.
A fight with Johan must be tough.
It didn't miss from her watch how Kiera's blue eyes sparkled in victory and satisfaction.

"Nice to see you're still alive, Gemma Maynhard." Lena said as they reached the place where she's standing.

Gemma raised her eyebrow a bit. "Why? Are you expecting me to die, Lena?"

"Slightly." Lena answered, smirked mischievously to the ginger. "I thought probably Kegan needs a new candidate for his queen."

Gemma rolled her eyes. It was a joke, she knew that. But somehow, it stabbed right to her heart. She ignored the jealousy and looked around her.

"Kiera said you're with your sister." Gemma said.

Lena shrugged. "I let her go. Hope she can learn."

"I highly doubt that." Kiera murmured. She wiped the sweat and blood in her forehead with her sleeve, made a disgusting sound.
"Uh, yuck!!!! I need a bath after this. Warm water in a bathtub with seven kind of flowers in it and a little bit of rose oil."

"You'll get it if we win." Lena said.

"Did you just said 'if'?"

"Did I? No, I mean 'when' we win." Lena corrected.

"Of course you do." Gemma rolled her eyes again. "Let's join the battle. Kegan and Zuriel need every person they can have."

-----------------------

Breaking inside the castle was the hardest part of their plan.
Kegan and Sekt easily were being pushed backward by the soldiers inside the front door.

"Bad plan! Seriously a bad plan." Sekt murmured beside Kegan as he stabbed one of the enemy.

"Sorry for that, I was on fire before." Kegan said.
He gasped a bit, protected his head from a spear with his shield. Swung his sword low, Kegan hurt his opponent's ankle and the man dropped like a ripe jackfruit.
