She Unchained The Demon : Again

Four

Lunox felt something had happen to Dyrroth that night. He is spacing out more and now she couldn't find him. She was walking fast and hurrying to get out of the castle when Vale saw her.

"Hey human!" He said with a grin.

Human? How dare this creature call me human!

"Hello there lowly guard."

Vale was surprised with her response. Lunox has sure changed over the past centuries. How undeniably sad this is.

"So, are you going to make me some pancakes or the breakfast you have in the human world?" He tried again. Only Lunox raised her brow at him.

"Human world? I do not come from such lowly realm! And yes! You might be a friend but you can always betray me," she hissed and throw him an angry look before she continues to go.

"Unbelievable," Vale murmurs as he turn to look at the leaving Lunox. "What happened to her that she changed so much."

"She's not my sister."

Vale slightly flinched when Ruby said that. He almost withdrew his sword.

"Sword? Really? You could've used your magic," Ruby said, rolling her eyes at him.

Vale laughed at his flawed action. He looked at Ruby and said, "Indeed she isn't. Do you think we should—"

"No! We let it be. His highness just found his so called love. It would be harder for him to believe us if we do not have my sister with us." Ruby was so sure the Lunox in the palace wasn't Lunox at all.

"What do you suggest we do?" He asked.

"I'll find a way to get her—"

"That would be hard to do," Lesley spoke out of nowhere.

They all know Lesley, but they hardly sees her. And now it was a surprise she showed herself.

"I've seen Lunox talk to the dark queen Alice. They seemed to be allies and she seemed to be the real Lunox who is up for revenge."

"Why would she seek revenge?" Vale asked, frowning at the unbelievable thought. "She is never that kind of person."

"Unless she is lured by Alice," Lesley uttered.

They all stoped talking for a while and thought about such situation. Little did they know that Lunox had actually heard them talking.

"I'll let you all participate in this show," she whispered with an evil smirk on her face and left.

The three little ones had found it strange for Lunox to do that face. They were long concealed at the corner with Harley's new spell.

"Don't you think it was strange?" Nana asked the two boys. And they all nodded. They have heard the adults conversations aswell and it raised some speculations about this new Lunox. And that gave them all the idea to search for the real Lunox.

"Sister!"

Karina heard a familiar little voice and the noise of her door being opened wide.

"Sister!"

There was it again. Karina groaned and got up. Yes! She wasn't mistaken, it was indeed her trickster sister.

"What are you up to?" Karina asked falling back to her bed again.

"Guess what?" Lylia excitedly asked her.

"What?"

"I went to the underground and saw a girl laying down. She saw me and told me to save her. I think mother had imprisoned her."

"Why would mother do that?" Karina now fully awake asked.

Lylia rolled her eyes, "there's so much you do not know about mother. Do you think we should set her free?"

Karina looked down. A girl? What did she do to deserve being in such dark place?

"No, not yet. We'll be in great trouble if we do that without knowing why she was in there. Let's thoroughly think about that, okay?"

Lylia nodded. "Also, mon is waiting for breakfast," she said and left.

A girl? Who could she be? And why is she in jail down there and not on their wide dungeon? Why at the bottom of this dark castle?

"Why don't you go and check it out, your highness"

Karina fell from her bed in surprise. "Who's there?" She asked.

"It is I, Belerick."

Karina stand up and looked at the surrounding. She sees no one. "Where are you? Show yourself."

"At the rose, your highness."

Karina looked at the rose that she placed on a vase days ago. It was a big bud and now it bloomed. There a tiny Belerick was at the center.

"Y-you're so little!" She can't believe it! This little bush kind of rock was big and now it's so—

"Your highness should go and see the lady at the bottom prison," he suggested.

Karina sat back down on her bed. "Do you know who this lady is?"

"Hmm yes, your highness. She's the lady who'll help you find the light you are looking for," Belerick answered.

"The light..." she mumbled.

I should go see her... but what if I ended up getting fooled? And worse, what if I end up betraying mother?
