chapter 22 (your other weakness)

My knees hit the hard ground when some guards push me down. My hands were tied behind my back making it impossible for me to defend myself. This is seriously one of the worst yet best days ever.

First I wake up with Logan, who lied about what happen last night. Then I helped Mila and her with her family get back together and now I'm standing face to face with the person who killed my parents and is probably going to kill me.

I look up and saw Mafalda smiling evilly at me, Logan was standing next to her with the same smile on his face.

Great, mother and son are going to hurt me. Yay for family bonding time.

"It's nice to see you again Hazel." Mafalda said in her usual annoying voice.

"Maybe for you, but not for me." She laugh shaking her head.

"You better don't make me angry Hazel." I scoff shaking my head.

"What are you gonna do, kill me?" I asked in a mocking voice.

Mafalda laugh shaking her head. Did I ever tell you that I hate her, yeah? Well I'm gonna tell you again. I hate her with every possible fibre of my body.

"No that would be to easy. I want you to suffer like your family made me and my family suffer." Her voice got much darker when she said that.

"Well you already took my parents away, so how could you make me suffer more. Are you going to kill Logan again or are you going to kill one of your other children." I snapped.

Mafalda chuckle before bending down to my high and grabbing my chin. "No I don't need to kill Logan again. He already make you suffer enough by not loving you."

I pull my head away from her grip looking to the side.

I really wanted to rip her head off, but I couldn't.

"And beside you have other people you care about."

The door open and two people were dragged into the room by guards. My eyes widen when I saw that it was Libby and Connor. The guards push them on their knees on the floor before putting a knife to their necks.

"No!" I scream starting to trash around. Mafalda laugh walking around me to Libby and Connor.

"I see I found your other weakness." She slide her finger across Connor chin.

"So handsome, so powerful." She whisper.

Connor pull his head away trying not to get cut by the knife. The guard who was holding him put him back in place with a rough move. Mafalda walked to Libby who had fear in her brown eyes when she saw her.

I told her stories about Mafalda. Stories that Logan, Lina, Ry and all the other people in this world know. Awful and horrific stories  about this woman and now she's standing right in front of her.

Mafalda grabbed a strand of hair from Libby holding it in between her fingers. Libby whimpers when Mafalda walked closer to her. "So innocent, but oh so powerful."

I began to move again hopping I would lead the attention back to me. I can't stand seeing Libby being that scared. Connor looked angry as hell while he watch Mafalda circling around his sister.

"It would be a shame to see them get hurt or get killed, right Hazel?" She turn around with an evil smirk to face me.

I glared at her not saying a word. She knows that I can't say no now. Logan walked to me before pulling me up from the ground.

"If I was you I would listen to her." He hiss pulling me really close to his face. I wish that this was the old Logan. The Logan who came that day to me in the field and who introduced me to a whole other world. He could annoy the crap out of me, but I liked that.

I looked into his eyes and saw something strange. It was still the light hazel brown colour, but on the edge it was  red.

"What do you want?" I said putting my attention back to Mafalda. She chuckle walking closer to me.

"I think you already know that. The map. I want the map that is in your head." She simple said.

I shook my head laughing.

"I can't give it to you. I don't know how and if I would I would never give it to you." It's true I still don't know how to use it. I don't even wanna use it. It's the only thing that can bring people to Abraham and I'm not going to help them find one of the most evilest person who ever walked on this world come back to life.

"Are you sure about that Hazel, because you know what will happen if you lie." She said walking back to Libby and Connor.

I wanted to take step forwards, but Logan hold me back.

"I can't use it! I have no idea how to use! I swear!" I quickly answer.

"But you can try right?" My eyes when to Connor and Libby who both looked at me.

Libby was still scared and I wanted to help her, but I'm powerless. Connor looked at me with mix emotion. He wanted me to do it, so that she wouldn't hurt me or Libby, but he also knew that if I would help her and show her the map things would get worse.

I close my eyes and let out a sigh.

"Yes."

I open my eyes again and saw Mafalda smiling like she just won something incredible. Logan chuckle before letting me go. He untie my hands before pulling me again close to his face.

" Don't try anything or they will get hurt." I nodded my head slowly.

"Good." He let go of me and walked to Libby and Connor.

"Now Hazel why don't you try to open the map." Mafalda said looking at me.

How am I supposed to do that. Nobody ever gave me instruction on how to open a map that can lead a world to his destruction.

I close my eyes and started to think about it. I mean it's in my head, so maybe if I think about it I can activated it or something.

"I think she needs some encouragement." I hear Mafalda say after a long time of me just standing there with my eyes closed. I open them and saw Logan walking in front of Connor.

He smirked before making a flam in his hand.

"No! no! stop!" I yell when he was about to put the flame on Connor's skin. "You can stop this Hazel. If you open the map." Mafalda said.

I shake my head desperately.

"I can't. I don't know how to open it. Crowley had put it inside my head with a lock that even I can't open. He is the only one who knows how to open it." I quickly said hoping that she is smart enough to believe me.

I was breathing heavily and sweat was dripping down my back.

A big bang made us all turn towards the door. There was screaming behind the door.

"What the hell is going on there?!" Mafalda said to one of the guards.

They looked at her with a confuse look.

"Never mind! Go look!" They dropped Connor and Libby to the ground before rushing out the room.

The moment they were out the room two others came back in. Both were panting really hard, like they would have run a marathon or something.

"We're under attack." Who would attack them? Who is dumb enough to attack Mafalda's men.

Oh no.

Alaric.

They are here.

That means there is a way to escape her, but we can't leave we need to help the village.

"Go and fight them off!" Mafalda yelled making the guards run out the door.

She turns to me and saw me smirking.

"You will never win this Mafalda. The good will always fight you." I said making her more angry.

I saw her look at Connor and Libby, before smirking at them. I shook my head and run towards them. I thought about teleporting and grabbed them both in the progress when I jump towards them.

Before Mafalda could shot a black flam at us we teleported. We all landed on the ground in the hallway a little bit further away from the room they kept us. I landed on my stomach with Connor and Libby next to me on their backs.

Quickly I sat up and began to untie their hands.

"We need to run now!" I said when I hear people coming closer.

"Quick!" Connor said taking Libby's hand and started running.

I follow them hopping the would know the way. We came to a few hallways all dark, until we reach a door.

Quickly we run through it hoping it would lead us away from here. To our luck it was a door to the outside, but we all gasp when we saw what was going on outside.
