Once in a Blue Moon

Chapter 18.

Isabelle.

I will take my revenge. He has taken my father away from me and many fathers and mothers away from many people. No matter who a person is, it has to pay for its deeds.
He will die, and I will kill him.

As I close my eyes I see the image of my father, smiling.
As I open my eyes, for a fraction of second I see someone in black passing by my eyes. I stand up. I wipe my tears and see around. I see no one.
I feel someone catching my wrist and pulling me backwards.
I turn back, it is David.
"He's in here." He whispers.
His words pounds my heart.

By 'he', he means Vinkart, don't he?
Vinkart has already taken so many lives, we don't have magic to at least try to attack him and shields and swords can't withstand his magic. Oh God.

"Hello! Dear royals. Missing your deared ones?" I hear a heavy voice.
A body dressed in black slowly appears, then the face becomes visible.
Dark brown hairs till shoulders, a green eye, black cloth on another eye. There are dark black circles down his eyes. Eyes are fenced in black. He is Vinkart. He looks exactly like he looked in the picture. Finally, he showed himself.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Vinkart, future king of Grandelle and also your murderer. I am too excited! Are you people?" He says.Gosh! I hate his voice.

Is is out of his senses or he never had senses?
"Wait....., I won't kill you within a day, that won't be joyful." He continues. What does he mean by, 'won't be joyful'?

"I will kill you everyday. No, no." He pauses. "You will die every day. That will be better, won't it be?"

"No! It won't be better." David says in a rude manner.
"Well, well, aren't you the one in the balcony? You are smart, but also not brave.
And you don't worry, I'll not kill you.
Anyways, what do you think I shall do with all of you? Any suggestions?"
Suggestions! Seriously, he is sarcastic.
"I have some suggestions for you." I say.
"Then you must tell." He says. "Isabelle, right? Revenge, is what you want from me. But it is a wish which shall or can never be granted." He says.
How does he know?
"I know everything." He says. I didn't even said a word! " So what is your suggestion?" He continues.
"My suggestion to you is, you shall leave this place for your peace."
"Why will I do that? I don't like peace."

What does he think of himself ?
Something about him troubles me a lot. A question which arises in my mind: Is he for reals here? Or is this his illusion or something?
I look at his foot and aroud his foot, I see a bit of shadow. Something like shadow. Can he be here or real? What if it is his illusion's shadow. What am I thinking? Illusions do not have shadows. Does that mean.....?

He is for reals. I slowly move my hand towards my sharp knife kept in the pocket of my gown.
I always keep a knife with me. I take the knife out and aim it, as soon as his eyes moves towards me, I throw the knife. It hits his left part of chest, and thats where hearts are usually located.
As soon as the knife hits his chest and moves in, he laughs.
That scares me.
My foot start to move backwards.
"Calm down Isabelle." David whispers. "You were right, this is his real body. He could have died, but..."
" 'But' is the only problem David." Vinkart says.
He keeps his right hand in a horizintal way and waves the fingers of his right hand. A figure, similar to the size of a wrist, slowly appears, its red in color. Within few seconds, the figure becomes visible. Its surrounded by some aqua blue and red tubes. Oh God! Its a heart. Ahh!
"Its my heart Isabelle." He says with a big smile which exposes his 32 teeth including the giant canines.
"We need the wand, last time, King Warren Smith used more than half if the magic of the wand to defeat him. Here, we don't have magic, we have to go the castle to bring the wand, that is a problem." Rossana whispers.
"The wand is in my wardrobe." David whisper her back.
"I shall escape, and bring it here to you." Rossana whispers.
"Rossana, don't." I whisper.
"Don't worry."
"Shall I go? You can stay here."
"Isabelle, you fight better, and today you have to fight."
"I will." I say.
Should she really go? Is it safe? I don't know!
