"What do you mean by that?" Doctor Heartbeat said next.

"She has a block on her mind." The Telepath said putting on her glasses.
Thank goodness for that.

"So we'll never know the truth?" The White Witch asked looking disappointed.

I rolled my eyes.
Sorry if my life was causing you great displeasure.

"I'm afraid so." The Telepath then tread on to her seat on the high table.

"But she deserves a punishment!" It was the Emir who spoke these words.

"You're one to talk." Father resorted.

Emir Dmitri narrowed his eyes at my father.
"Excuse me?"

Father scoffed.
"Excuse you indeed. We were all present yesterday in front of my home when your son admitted to be at fault."

"That is a load of bull! The girl is clearly at fault her-"

"Because she's an Enchantdora?" Father finished for him.
"I thought so."

"How dare you?! Filthy little hybrid!"

Father rose his eyebrows up in amusement and it took the pleading looks of Lucinda to restrain him from saying anything more.

"If The Almighty Sanhindrin cannot punish the girl, I will have to take matters into my own hands."
Emir Dmitri cleared his throat.

"Father I have already told you that it is not Bethany's fault." Damien said frustrated.

"How pathetic." The Beta laughed from his seat.

The Alpha laughed along with him.
"Emir Dmitri, your son defends an abomination?"

The Emir gave Damien a hard look.
"I'll be dealing with you later."
In response to that Damien rolled his eyes.
"She will be locked up in my dungeons and used as a slave."

"No!" My father yelled.

But the members of the Sanhindrin had already banged their gavels.
"It is final." The Emir said with a smile.
He clapped his hands together and called for his guards.
"Guards take her away!"

Almost immediately I was seized, once again, by a pair of hefty men.
"Father!" I called out.

"Bethany! I'll get you of there!" He shouted as the guards carried me out of the courtroom.
"I promise!"

But his cry was drowned out by the sounds of my screaming and struggling with the guards of the Emir.
In response, they burnt me using their fire powers.
I whimpered.
Did they think I couldn't do same?
I returned the favor and they cried out in pain and swore.
And they're supposed to protect the Emir?
I was even holding back on them.
What would happen if I had used my powers to their fullest potential?

Before I could ponder on the thought any longer I was thrown roughly into the back of a carriage.
What a way to sweep a girl off her feet.
It was not long before the carriage started moving, recklessly might I add it was as if they were driving on top of rocks and broken bottles.
The reckless driving of the carriage was tossing me out and down and all around.
So to save myself from a concussion, I decided to lie down.
It wasn't long before I fell asleep…
**************
"Where am I?"
I was in a room.
More like a cell.
Given the current chain of events, it was most likely a holding cell.
One for the most toughest of criminals.
And I was on the floor.
On the cold, hard floor.
Cold, that's how I felt then.
Cold.
Looking around I also noticed that the room was empty.
Another thing I felt.
Empty.

I heard the door open and close.
"You're in the dungeon of the Cani Kingdom." A voice called.
It was the Emir.
"Now I give you two options child. You either live or you die. You can never choose both sides of the coin."
