Princess Of Hell

Chapter 5

As the days went by, I found myself getting more accustomed to my new lifestyle. Cornelius and I grew very close and relied on each other. Adela and I even became close. The mission me and Cornelius started was unsuccessful so far, but we refuse to give up.

The traitor faeries who left the dark territory were named Moria Dark, Edward Crescent, Henry Dark, and Alla Death. We've asked around for any sightings of strange fae, but no one has seen anyone. And of course, there's the ongoing concern of Valor, the one who killed Stacey.

Cornelius and I were on top of a tree, resting our backs against the thick branches.

"Do you think they are even in this area?" I asked Cornelius.

"I don't know, but I have a theory that they joined forces with Viviana."

I felt my body start to tremble at the mention of my sister.

Flashback
My heart pounded against my chest, and my breaths were shortened. Vivian stood in front of me, holding knives and sharp arrows. I stared at her, knowing this was my fate. To be harmed constantly.

"Good girl, no argument. But I'd better get a reaction."

Vivian sliced the knife across my kneecap, and I stared at her with a blank face. The pain was soul crushing, but I stood my ground. Vivian was pissed.

"React you dumbass!!" She cut my cheek.

"React!" She cut my shoulder.

"Cry you worthless bitch!" She cut my forehead.

"Scream!" She cut my elbow.

"You're an ugly dumbass bitch!" She cut my scalp.

By the end of my daily torture session, my body was covered in red bloody welts and Vivian smiled in satisfaction.

"Quite an improvement, don't you think bitch?" With that final statement, Vivian left my chambers, leaving me to curl up in a ball in pain.

                           End of flashback

"Titania!"

"What?"

"You're fine! Stop screaming!" Cornelius shook me.

"I'm fine....."

"You're really not. Even I know that."

"I'll live, let's just get back to the mission. Please."

"Fine."

For the next hour, we observed the surrounding area of the trees, hoping for any dark fae to come around. Our luck was extremely unexpected when a dark faery girl came around. A male followed behind her.

"Moria! Slow down!"

"Shut up Henry! We have shit to take care of! Her majesties orders."

"We could be caught if you don't slow down! Prince Cornelius is looking for us! Who's to say he's not around here at this very second?!"

"Cornelius is a stupid butthead, Henry. He doesn't know how to fulfill missions."

Cornelius cursed under his breath.

"I know how to do a damned mission!" He whispered furiously.

"Shhhhh!" I told him.

"He's been learning a lot more lately. My inside sources told me."

"Oh, and I assume your inside sources are your girlfriend? Who refused to help you? You should just dump Mirella, she's not worth your time."

"Shut the hell up Moria! You know nothing about her!"

They approached closer to the trees and I finally got a good look at their appearances. Moria had long straight brown hair with sun kissed skin, and her eyes were a deep blue. Henry had similar brown hair and skin, and dark green colored eyes.

Moria spun around and glared at Henry.

"I know more than you think, you dumbass. Like how Mirella cheated on you with Karen? Believe me, I know she's a fricken lesbian. So stop wasting your time on her, she's probably making out with Karen right now!"

Henry paled at her words and looked away. Moria laughed.

"Queen Vivian's orders were to find princess Titania and bring her back. King Valor will have our heads if we don't fill their orders."

I felt the blood draining from my face. Prince Valor? As in, Cornelius's brother? The one who killed Stacey? He's with Vivian? I'm screwed!!

Cornelius also looked a bit spooked. Valor has been gone for years. Why did he just start showing up now? And why's he with Vivian?

"Why's your brother with my sister?!" I whisper screamed at Cornelius. He put his fingers to his lips in a motion to silence me and pointed to Moria and Henry, still bickering.

"Queen Vivian also said to find the young princesses. Odette and Cassie. She wants to kill them in front of ex Princess Titania. Oh! How lovely that will be!"

"Yes, lovely." Henry muttered.

"Moria and Henry Dark, come to me!" Vivian's voice rang through the forest and I shrunk back into the tree. Moria and Henry panicked for a moment before running down the forest. I looked at Cornelius and ran to the edge of the tree where Moria and Henry ran to. Vivian's face appeared in a mirror like substance and I frowned.

"Your majesty, we haven't found anything yet." Moria said, bowing her head.

"Well hurry up! I would like to get this over with so Titania will never walk this planet again."

"Yes your majesty." Moria said, still bowing her head.

"Go." With that, Vivian's face disappeared. I dagger against the hard branch and felt arms surrounding me. I looked up to see Cornelius's concerned face.

"I'm sorry Titania. We must leave this place now. We'll head back to my grandmother's and pack some stuff. We must depart immediately."

I nodded, but still had tears dripping down my cheeks. Cornelius grabbed my hand and helped me stand up, and then we floated through a portal he created. We landed in front of Adela's and my frown told the story to anyone passing by. They looked at me with pity before going back to their own things.

"Come, we must find grandmother." Cornelius told me. I tried to smile but didn't manage. Just a small twitch of my lips.

Adela was sitting outside of the kitchen frowning. She looked at me and I knew at that moment she somehow knew the events that just took place.

"Go, pack your things. I have arranged for you to stay at a cottage in the woods near the dark territory."

We headed back to our room and grabbed some necessities before heading back to the kitchen. Cornelius cast a spell using the coordinates Adela gave us and a portal appeared. It glowed a dark purple and blue, looking almost menacing. Cornelius and I looked at each other before jumping in.
