Charmed Again (Part 2/3)

Chapter 29

I stepped out into deserted land that looked like the wasteland I saw in my dream. But there were stalls and there wasn't any ash on the floor and at the end of the market there was huge stone castle.

I looked down and I was wearing a blue velvet dress just like in my dream. My hair was braided at the front and joined at the back. There was a circular, silver crown around my head.

I looked back and saw Wyatt coming out of the portal. He was wearing a full set of silver armour with a lion engraved in the metal. He had a helmet in his hands and his chainmail was resting on his neck and not his head.

He came to my side and looked at scene just as I did.

"Do you think Chris and Melinda are in there?" Wyatt asked looking at the castle.

"Only one way to find out." I replied.

I put the red crystal away in a small pouch I found on the floor. We both then headed towards the castle to go get Chris and Melinda back.

************************************************

As we entered the castle we saw no knights or guards to stop us. We were completely alone. Wyatt's armour clinked everytime he moved and sent echos through the stone walls.

It took us what seemed like forever to search the castle for Chris and Melinda. But every turn we seemed to take lead us to another that made us go around in circles.

"Maybe we should spilt up, cover more ground." I suggested.

"What? No I'm not leaving you." Wyatt instantly answered.

"I'll call for you if I'm in trouble. I can take care of myself." I told him.

"How can you take care of yourself? You have no weapon to defend yourself. I have exhalibre." Wyatt argued back.

"I have lightening." I answered.

He wasn't going to win this one. With reluctancy Wyatt finally agreed to spilt up. I decided to go left and he went right.

God Chris I hope you're okay....

************************************************

I searched my side of castle and came up with nothing. I was about to go back and go find Wyatt when I came to a huge doorway. The massive wooden doors went all the way up to ceiling and must have stood higher than house.

I grabbed the huge door handles and pushed the gigantic doors open. I stopped when I saw what was inside.

It was a massive hall with red carpet and fine tapestry hanging from the windows. There were long tables stretching all the way down the room with raw meat and bad fruit on the plates. Then at the back were two golden thrones. And sitting on one of them was Pandora.

Anger brewed inside me. I had to stop myself from forming a bolt otherwise god knows what it would do. She was perched on the throne, with her feet dangling over the arm. There were knights in black armour standing either side of her and they were lined all the way down the hall.

"Oh good, you're finally here." She said.

I started to walk up the red carpet with pure hatred inside me. I stopped a few feet away from the marble steps leading up the thrones.

"Oh wipe that glum look off of your face, hate doesn't really suit a pretty face like you." She groaned.

"Get out of Pandora and show me you're real face you coward." I snarled.

She lifted up an eyebrow and then swung her feet around and stood up. Pandora stared at me with a sinister look to her eyes. Then she suddenly went limp and her body fell to the floor. Standing in her place was a dark hooded figure. Then he took down his hood and showed me his face.

He had a huge scar running down his cheek but his long dark hair almost hid it away. He had icy blue eyes that looked piercingly white from a distance. His mouth was curved at the edges, perfect for snarling.

"You know I must say I like the old Guinevere better. The original was far more prettier." Mordered mocked.

God I hope you rot in hell.....

"Where are my friends?" I asked in a hard, determined tone.

"What do you mean? She's right there? Sorry about that, I needed a loaner. Couldn't go walking about your house in my original body. Far too obvious." Mordered said gesturing to Pandora.

I just stared at him, trying to get an aneurysm to work on him so he's drop to the floor.

"Oh you mean your forbidden lover and his bratty sister. You know there're real downers at a party." Mordered joked.

Why isn't my madness manipulation working on him? Is he too strong? Or am I weaker in this realm?

"Give me my friends and I'll make your death quick and painless." I threatened.

Mordered laughed. His cackle vibrated through me and touched my soul with pure evil.

"The only thing that will be quick and painless is when I rip yours and Arthur's heart from your chests. Just like you did with mine." He sneered.

"I think I'd remember ripping out someone's heart. Especially yours." I said.

Mordered suddenly disappeared and before I knew it he was behind me, holding my arms behind my back so I couldn't move.

"Don't you remember Guinevere?" He whispered in my ear.

He wrapped his arm around my body and then with the other he pressed his finger to my forehead.

I gasped and then fell to the floor in a deep sleep...
