“She’s such a stupid witch. She’s trying to raise her voice against us even after I killed her. What a stupid person?” I talked with Dorothy while walking on our way back to the guest room. Dorothy stopped from hurting Lydia as I already hit her to the almost unconscious stage. I did my best to protect us.
“Yeah. Leave it. What were we talking about before hearing that scream?” Dorothy asked, to my astonishment. She still remembers that. That’s good. I got one thing to tell Dorothy in my mind voice ‘You are the real stupid who can’t identify the person you are talking with. You can only identify it if you really know them and care for them’. Dorothy never cared for anyone other than Cassie. That’s the bitter truth.
“You said that the hall of mirrors is on the ground floor. But you didn’t say what spell you used? I must have known the spell. Iam a great witch too.” I said proudly about myself.
“It’s Anoíxte ti mystikí pórta. You know that, right?” she questioned me.
“Yeah, I do. I told you so,” I said. I think it’s time. Pamela’s and my soul are exchanged. Now, it’s time for it to change again. By this time, Jacen should have used his compulsion power on Pamela. Our soul will change by itself at that right time. Then I will back to my room. Pamela will be back with Dorothy to their room. She won’t even remember a single thing.
After some minutes, I was with Dorothy learning some complicated spells in a book. I acted like I know it all. She didn’t doubt my behaviour. That’s the last thing I remembered and my eyelids closed.
“Sydney...Sydney...Someone bring the bandage right now. Goddamn, you got it or not...Yeah...Show her hand...Is she awake...noo...Is there any other injury left...no... she’s waking up...Sydney....baby...”
I opened my eyes and the first face I saw was Jacen. “Iam here. Thank god.” I threw my arms around him and he almost lost his balance.
“You are here. Iam so fucking happy,” he said, hugging me back. I looked at Noah, Kassidy, Lydia and Amelia, who were standing behind.
“Iam sorry aunt. I didn’t mean to do that to you.”
“It’s okay, Sydney. What’s important is the information? Did you get it?” she asked with expectation.
“I did. I know where it is. I also know the spell to find it.” I said and instantly felt some pain in my arm. My whole arm hurts. My whole body hurts like a bitch.
“What’s this baggage on my hand?” I growled in pain.
“Sorry, baby. Pamela struggled a lot in your body. She tried to hurt your body by cutting her wrist and struggling with the rope’s firm grip. She got Dorothy’s attention by screaming louder. I guess your throat hurts too.” Jacen asked, giving me a bottle of water. I hope it’s not any portions. I will hate making portions all my life. This one day is enough.
Tomorrow at the fight, Iam going to enter the hall of mirrors.
.....
The next day. There’s no sun to identify the day but the day is arrived. Will I live or die? Whether I live or die, I don’t want my friends to die. My friends are all standing in the hall with a fierce look. Even Mason and Phoebe are here. Phoebe’s behaviour is different. She doesn’t scold or blame me for anything. Mason, she is calm, and every other is scared. There are many skulls dead men and guards surrounding the room. Dorothy is standing in the end alone. Pamela doesn’t accompany her. They must be thinking of a way to make a grant entry. At last, Lilith and I are standing in the middle of the hall. No guards tried to attack my friends. Nothing happened till now.
“I know I can finish you off in a second. But I prefer to keep it longer. So, you will know the pain.” That’s Lilith’s first word.
“Let’s see that.” I shifted my hand towards the ceiling to let the chandelier fall on her. She dodged in a second like it was nothing. When the chandelier fell with a loud breaking glasses sound, Lilith attacked me with a burning flame. My power was somehow equal to fighting back. But I couldn’t hold it for longer. I got to under cover each time.
“Stop hiding and face me. We all know how it’s going to end.” Lilith said and a familiar voice replied to her.
“It’s going to end like this.” the voice belongs to Phoebe. My eyes wandered over to Phoebe and Lilith. Phoebe and Lilith. Phoebe and Lilith. It lasted for three seconds, and suddenly, an arrow inserted straight at Lilith’s heart. Blood started flowing, and there’s no reaction in Lilith’s face. Why did Phoebe do that? When did she plan something like that? What does she think in her mind?
“Do you think you can kill me with his arrow?” Lilith calmly said, taking it out from her chest like a toy bullet hit her body.
“I don’t know whether or not you will die with that. But I wanted to do that. You are the one who’s putting all of us in grief.” She replied bravely.
“Why did you do that, sister? Are you out of your mind?” Mason shouted at her with fear. Everyone is scared at the moment, even though Lilith has a calm look on her face.
When the arrow hit the ground, Lilith flies up towards Phoebe, not me. Her attention turned towards that human.
“No one dares to backstab me.” with those words, there’s the fire in Phoebe’s direction. Not in her direction, right on her. Phoebe is burning on fire. I can’t hear her scream. I promise I never saw anything so cruel. I am fighting back my tears at that moment. Next to her, Mason was crawling and begging Lilith not to do this to her sister. Noah and Jacen are keeping him in place while Mason’s trying to reach her sister through the fire. We all know Phoebe and Mason already died. Now, this is the worst situation of burning in hell. She should have been silent. I would have found the hall of mirrors and saved everyone.
“Does anybody want to stab me in back? If yes, this is your punishment.”
