Eight Worlds

1.8

Liliana trudged through the deadlands with caution. She could smell the stench of death circulating in the area. After years of working in a hospital she knew the smell all too well.

She had been severly tired after her 23 hour shift had been driving home when she must have fallen asleep and ran over the side of the bridge. She blacked out and awoke in a barren land. The place was cold and dry without a building in sight.

She was still wearing her clothes from last night; a red turtleneck blouse, black pants and her doctor's coat that she forget to take off because she was rushing home. Liliana suddenly felt a shift, surprised to see a group of people surrounding her.

Time, Zea and Caspian caught her eyes first since they were the only people wearing red while the others were wearing black.

"Where am I ?" She asked. She gazed up at Caspian in awe. He was undeniably handsome and was easily picked from a crowd since he wore the brightest red.

Time seeing her stare at his brother so leechingly glared." Get her and let's go."

Zea's hands glowed black before the heroine was levitated into the air. She ignored the girl's screeches of protest mixed with amazement and ran back with them to the castle. All that time, Caspian had Dorothy and Mila who he had left there on his mind.

Dorothy walked through the city holding the Mila's hands securely. She was greeted by many people who seemed suprise at the similar features between the two.  Some had even commented shamelessly that Mila was her and Caspian's daughter, even though the two had yet to be married. Though they're comments were at least half true.

The notification bell had came as a shock to her, especially when she had literally done nothing.

' Stupid, what's the meaning of this?'

[It seems that on their way here the heroine kept on throwing looks of lust towards Caspian making his little brother angry. Especially when he thought of you and the child you two adopted.]

' But if I completely all missions, why am I still her?'

[World's Progress:87%]

[It seems you haven't recked the story line enough although you are doing a very great job.]

' So all I need to do is one big final push to make everything fall off the edge?'

[Yes.]

"Mommy." Mila pointed towards the city gate she saw opening. "I think Daddy's back."

"My baby's so smart." She kissed her cheeks til the flush of red became permanent out of embarrassment, while the people in the city just smiled at the loving pair.

She ran towards the gate seeing the team that had left and the heroine caught in a levitation spell. She had long, curly brown locks and eyes which seemed to sparkle at everything she saw. She would've looked so cute and innocent if everyone hadn't seen the subtly glances she was trying to take at Caspian.

Next she saw Zea with a look of guilt adorning her face, Time looked repulsed and Caspian looked neutral, like he hadn't just captured a human locked away from there world.

After consulting the huge library in the castle Dorothy found out that the first Queen of the land, before it got divided based on spieces, had casted a strong spell on world hiding the human portal away. She saw that they had been ruthlessly killing off their population and sacrificed her life to save them.

But the system had informed her that the queen was still alive, just in hiding until the world really needs her.

"Cas, she's a guest. Don't magic handle her." Dorothy reprimanded with Mila vigorously nodding in agreement. Zea instantly dropped her.

"Where am I and how can I get home?" Liliana asked frantically.

"Your in the Blood World. And about going home, I don't know how to get to another universe." She watched in pleasure as the heroine fainted at her words, hitting the ground with a thud since no one would actually move to catch her.

. .
. .

"Are you alright?" Liliana awoke to see Dorothy smiling down at her. Behind her was Caspian leaning on the door post holding a sleeping Mila in his arms. Time sat on the window pane arguing with Zea but stopped when he saw that the girl had woke up.

Liliana turned her head away in silence. They thought that maybe because of her current situation she was sad but Dorothy could clearly see that burning jealousy in her eyes when she saw her. She recognized it from anywhere, everytime she would pass through the halls of her collage that was all she saw.

"Don't you know anything about common courtesy?" Time asked. Even if she was sad all Dorothy was trying to do was see if she was alright and all she got was a cold shoulder.

"It's fine." Dorothy said but it just fueled his anger since it looked like she was defending the girl.

"What's your name?" This was her first time hearing his voice and it sent shivers down her spine.

"Liliana." She said softly hoping it would stir something within him.

"Well, you'll be staying here from now on." It didn't, much to her dissapointment.

"I'll send someone over to give you a briefing. Until then don't stress yourself we'll find a way to send you home." Dorothy's smile infuriated her and Dorothy knew it. Liliana just returned the smile, but it looked stuff and fake.

"Okay."

"Cas, let's go." She took Mila from his arms and walked through the door with Time and Zea continuing their argument on the way out.
