Chapter 20
It's been a day since I escaped Destin and I can finally see the dark stony mountain that is the disguise for Malo's castle. I made it! Under my breath I mutter the latin incantation to open the door. Thanks to the spell Malo gave me allowing me to speak fluently in every language that was ever spoken I don't even have to think before saying it. The door silently opens and I run though it not making a sound as I make my way to the main room where I'm most likely to find either Blake, Malo or both.
I turn down the hall that leads to the main room and here both the voices of Blake and Malo. I smile as I reach the half open door ready to run in and hug them but I stop when I here Blake say something that shocks me.
"I still don't feel comfortable with what we did to Lila." Blake says.
"Oh stop complaining you got your girl and I got my revenge." Malo answers.
"But Destin has her now how do you know she won't remember everything?" he says.
"That cuers I put on her is one of the strongest ever created. Almost nothing could break it besides she does not trust Destin because you were smart enough to add in that little lie about him wanting to kill her. We just have to wait for her to kill him and come back to us." She responds I can hear the smile on her face.
"But what if she doesn't kill him what if-" Blake starts to say before being cut of by Malo.
"Fine we will give her three more days if she has not killed him and come back to us by then we will launch the attack. Our armies led by me will attack the palace from all directions and during the fighting assassins will run in to kill the royal family. Either way I will have the throughn by the end of the week." She says simply.
I back up in shock unable to hear any more. I turn and run back to the forest tears are running down my cheeks.
I stumble and fall in the middle of a clearing after putting lots of space between me and Malo's castle.
"It's all been a lie," I cry to myself "I want to remember I need to remember."
I try to break through to walls that are around my heart, mind, and soul but I'm met by pain. I ignore the sting and push deeper causing the burning to intensify. I don't care I need to remember everything that has happened to me. I cry out as it gets worse but I keep going knowing I don't have to work to much more the walls are almost gone.
I think of Blake, Malo, Tacia, and finally Destin as I pull the image of his smiling face to my mind the wall crumble. I screech as pain explodes through my body and knocks me out. This is different though instead of being greeted by blackness images start to flash through my mind images that have all happened to me.
************
I shoot up with a start panting to catch my breath. I remember everything! I remember Malo's curse and congestion to raising me. I remember Blake's betrayal and leis. I remember Tacia's love and that she is my real mother and even in the short time I have known her I have come to love her. Most of all I remember Destin his love, hope, caring, strength, kindness, and then my betrayal. Tears stream down my cheeks as I remember what I have done to him. How I took his love and used it to run away from him and almost kill him.
"Oh my God what have I done!?" I cry to myself.
I remember Malo's plan and I know I have to warn him. I still love him I can't just let him die.
"But he will never trust me again I tried to kill him twice. I lied to him and for all he knows I met with Malo and she sent me back to be a spy. What and I going to do!?" I yell to myself.
If I go back to warn him I wouldn't be surprised if he had me executed. He is not stupid he would cut off his feeling for me as soon as I tried to kill him for the second time. No one would like me any more no one would try to save me from death. I dry my tears as I think to myself I deserve that I was so terrible I deserve that end but there's still a small part of me that hopes that they will forgive me. Either way i have to warn them I have to try my best to stop Malo from killing everyone I love even if they don't love me any more. I stand up and start to walk towards the happy home I lost.
***************
"Hello?" I shout as I knock on the door to the palace.
The door opens and I see a guard in full blue and silver armor complete with spear standing in the doorway. His eyes widen when his gaze lands on me and he points his spear at me.
"Turn around and put your hands behind your back!" He blasts in a deep commanding voice.
I flinch at his tone but do as he says it makes sense I tried to kill the prince. He grabs my arms and leads me down the halls to the dungeon I first saw Blake in. I fall to the ground when he pushes me into a cell locking the door behind me. I sit against the wall with my head down as a heaviness ways down on my heart when he leaves. I shouldn't be sad I was expecting this but I can't stop myself from missing the warmth and love that everyone in this palace once gave me. Now all I can expect from anyone is the icey cold hatred that the gard expressed.
My head snaps up as I hear the door to the dungeon open and someone walk in. I see Destin and my heart rate picks up I start to smile but stop when I see the anger and hate in his eyes. None of the loving kindness I'm used to remains.
"Why are you back?" He asks in a cold tone.
"I-I have to warn you about M-Malo." I say my voice breaking in sadness tears catching in my throat.
"Don't do that!" Destin yell at me in anger.
"Don't do what?" I ask in fear.
"Don't pretend to care you tried to kill me again after you told me you still love me! You are a heartless demon!" He yells.
"I deserve that but Destin pleas you have to listen Malo-" I try to say but he cuts me off.
"No Lila. I don't have to listen to anything I don't even know why I came to see you. Good bye Lila." He says turning to leave.
"No Destin pleas Malo is going to-" I say but he shuts the door before I can finish "attack."
I curl in on myself in the corner as tears start to flow. I've been crying so much and I hate it but I can't stop it feels like my heart has just been ripped out of my chest. What have I done? Everyone hates me. Destin hates me. I have lost everything that I care about and the only one to blame is myself.
Suddenly I take in a sharp breath and my body jerks back hitting the wall as my surroundings disappear into darkness.
******************
Slowly not just one but three scenes take form in my mind and two are disturbingly familiar. One shows Destin chained to the wall of a cell Blake standing over him ready to attack. Just like when I first had this vision about two months ago. The second vision has a few changes but is obviously the same vision I had when I first learnt of Malo. A women with long straight black hair that falls like a curtain around her face kneels before me in blue and silver armor. Malo walks out of a door causing the women to look up I gasp as I realize I was wrong. It's not me who is kneeling but instead my mom Tacia.
I watch in horror as the scenes play out before my eyes but I am unable to stop them. There are slight changes in both Blake is not the one to kill Tacia Malo is and at the end Blake doesn't just beat Destin, Blake jumps on top of him and strangles him.
The other vision is new I see a women in similar silver and blue armor like Tacia's but the hair cascading down her back is long fiery red. Seren is in heated combat between Malo and Destin's army's. Unable to do anything I watch as an opposing soldier stabs her in the heart. She cried out dropping to the ground her eyes turning glassy and cold.
Slowly it fades until I just see the bodies of Tacia, Seren and Destin limp on the floor. Then I am pulled into a different vision this one is just of me. I and kneeling in the middle of a cell just like the one I just sow Destin in seconds ago. My vision body shakes as she weeps the sound of her cries echoing through the dungeon. After a few seconds I notice that she starts to age up until the point of about mid thirties then Malo walks in.
"Still crying over Tacia and Malo?" She asks in a mocking tone with a cruel laugh.
"I've been here for thousands of human year's crying because I lost the most important people in my life just kill me put me out of my misery this is just cruel." I say my voice weak like I've lost hope.
"No, no, no Lila I'm not going to kill you I'm having far too much fun watching you waste away in misery." She says.
"I hate you!" I yell after her as she walks away.
As the vision me goes back to crying I watch as she starts getting thiner and thiner as if she has been rejecting food and water. Finally she drops dead and the vision disappears.
When the room comes back into view I realize that my tears have started to come faster.
"No." I say to myself wiping away my tears.
I hate this me I have become. I cry and pass out frequently I've just become so weak. I'm letting sadness control me well I'm done! If I stay this weak idiot they they will die and it's all because of Malo. I feel the anger filling me at this realization.
I know this is what will happen if something does not change right now. I can't let that happen I just can't let all of them die. I need to tell them but how can I get there attention they hate me.
"Maybe... " I whisper to myself as I look all over the room.
Finally I find what I'm looking for in the corner of the room a video camera. So someone is watching me then maybe they wouldn't let me kill myself. Now obviously I'm not going to actually kill myself just act like I'm trying to.
I'm done taking this lying down it's time to fight back and let them see what I can do!
I run over to the bars and start slamming my head arms and knees against them. I feel liquid dripping down my face and taste the coppery tang of it on my tongue.
Wow I'm losing a lot of blood. I think as my body starts to get colder and heavier. It doesn't matter I have to do this for them.
Huh that's weird. I think as my cheak lands on the cold concrete floor. Black spots are clouding my vision as I see the dungeon door open and a gold skirt sweeps into the room. My cell door opens and a woman kneels down and pulls my head onto her lap.
It looks like her head is surrounded by a halo of fire as she says "Oh Lila."
Weird her voice seems so far away like it's under water or something. Is the last thing I think as the world once again goes black.
