Forced Silence
Landon.
As soon as I hurried out of Viktor's house, I took out my key from my pocket and opened the car, climbing in and driving off..
I got to my house in ten minutes and I pulled over in the garage before climbing down.
I ran up to my door and I took out my keys again, unlocking the door. I walked into the house and I switched on the light.
I had to freshen up, get dressed and get the files I need in ten minutes.
I was walking to my room when I saw a shadow flash in front of me. And it wasn't mine. I stopped walking and I felt that there was someone else in the house.
My mind went to the dream I just had immediately and I became scared. What if Pedro wanted to get back at me for standing up to him.
I saw the second shadow and I quickly turned around only to see a large club swinging at me and hitting my head.
I held my head, groaning in pain as my vision became blurry immediately. I looked up and tried to see who it was, but my eyes failed me and I lost consciousness.

I opened my eyes and I shut them immediately as they were hit by the bright sunlight.
I was lying back flat on the ground, therefore directly facing the sun so I had to turn around before slowly opening my eyes.
I heard grunts and I stood on my feet, looking up to see that I was standing in the middle of a familiar fight.
"Nevilum difiltrea coropus zedi. Nevilum difiltrea coropus zedi." Five witches began to chant in unison and Rhazien immediately began to groan in pain as he slowly fell on his knees.
One of the Witches pulled out a dagger from nowhere and she unsheathed it to reveal the sparking blue blade.
She continued chanting with the rest of them and she slowly walked towards Rhazien who was struggling on his knees to break free from the effect of the spell.
She brought the dagger down to stab Rhazien, but all of sudden, large black wings sprouted out of Rhazien's back, tearing through the leather armor he wore.
Why was I back in this memory?? Was I dreaming?? I remembered that I was attacked at my house and I sighed in frustration.
I need to wake up and find my way out if this mess.
He swung the wings in the air and the sharp edges sliced through the head of the Witch standing close to him.
I watched as her head slowly rolled to the ground and the dagger in her hand clattered to the ground.
Because it was a joint spell, her death affected the spell for a while and Rhazien quickly stood up on his feet.
He moved closer and his wings chopped off the head of another Witch.
"Nevilum difiltrea coropus zedi. Nevilum difiltrea coropus zedi," the remaining three Witches began to chant quickly and Rhazien fell on his feet again.
He groaned, struggling to break free from the spell as the Witches continued chanting. This time, his wings were also being supressed. One of the Witches walked forward and she picked up the dagger that had fallen from the first witch.
Rhazien closed his eyes and I could feel the magic in the air getting stronger and stronger. The Witches groaned, and I could see that they were struggling to keep on saying the chants.
Rhazien was absorbing their magic without physical contact and their throats were tightening to prevent them from chanting.
Rhazien groaned as he slowly got up on his feet and his surpressed wings slowly sprouted larger and larger, he swung both of his wings and in that single, swift movement, the heads of the two Witches before him rolled to the ground.
The third one behind him was about to stab him with the dagger, but Rhazien swiftly turned around and he drove his hand into his chest.
Rhazien gritted his teeth with a satisfied smile and the Witch gasped painfully.
"This is for you," the Witch groaned and she suddenly drove the dagger into Rhazien's chest. Rhazien groaned and he let go of the Witch letting her fall lifelessly to the ground.
Rhazisnt groaned and he staggered backward. I watched as the dark lines on the face slowly disappeared and his red eyes reverted to their normal blue color.
He slowly fell on his knees and he pulled out the dagger from his heart.
The dagger was not supposed to kill him.
Rhazien looked around at the dismembered bodies of the dead Witches and the blood with guilt and pain in his eyes.
It was to bring him back to his senses.
Rhazien looked at his hands with pain and guilt in his eyes.
"What have I done".
*
My eyes shot open immediately and I looked down to see a large cauldron filled with boiling liquid silver.
I panicked, and shouted loudly till I realized I wasn't actually falling into down. That was when I felt the metallic sting on my neck and I saw that I was strung up with silver chains.
I looked around and saw that I was in a large dark room filled with old boxes and abandoned machines.
I couldn't hear any sound of life around and it seemed that there was no one around.
"Hello. Anybody here??" I shouted, but I couldn't hear my own voice. Something was causing forced silence in the air.
I looked at the chains on my neck and down at the boiling liquid silver, gulping nervously.
I had just one guess about who was responsible for this and I knew I was definitely right.
It had to be Pedro and he was doing to get back at me or lure Viktor.
"Hello!! I know it's you Pedro!! Come out!!" I shouted again, but my voice wasn't heard.
I looked over my shoulder as I sensed a presence and I saw Pedro step in through an open door with a smile.
I gritted my teeth. I knew it was this Bastard.
