I rubbed my head and wondered what had just happened. 'Felix got upset and took me to punish Arine? Ugh, I wish everyone would just stop kidnapping me for one minute and let me think.' I sighed and moved my legs to sit Kris Kross. 'How am I going to get out of here?' I was thinking until I heard a voice next to me. "Hello!" I jumped startled thinking I was alone. I turned my head towards the voice and saw a girl in the next cell with her hands on the bars smiling at me. She had beautiful blonde hair and brown eyes, and pointed ears like Arine. She had light green wings behind her back, and was wearing a long, clean white dress that looked simple, yet elegant.
She tilted her head still smiling. "Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm Harper. What's your name?" I was still shocked, but managed to answer. "Um, it's Silvera." When I got a closer look at her, I realized that she looked similar to Arine, and had the same bright smile as him.
'She must be Arine's sister. She looks about the same age as me, and she is really pretty.' Harper rested her arms on her lap. "What a beautiful name! I don't see many girls around here." I laughed in my head. 'Tell me about it!' I was glad to see another girl again too, even though I had just met her. I smiled at her and she continued to ask me questions.
"I heard some noise up there. Did my brother, not get the book of souls...?" Her smile faded and she looked to the floor. I immediately shook my head. "No! Of course he did! I helped him get it myself! She looked up surprised. "Really? Then what happened up there?" I gave her a nervous look. "Um, well, once we gave the book to Felix, Arine forbid him from seeing you again..." She crossed her arms. "He what?! He is so dead. Wait, then why are YOU in the dungeon?" I avoided her gaze. "Well, Felix got mad, and took me to punish Arine."
Her eyebrows went up in surprise. "Felix is mad? Oh no! I need to go to him!" I blinked. "Huh? Why?" She then looked down blushing. "I, I can calm him down." My confusion multiplied by a million. "What do you mean...?"
She got up and let her dress fall to her feet. "I don't know how, but, when he gets mad, I can calm him down by being there with him." I stood up too. "Really? How is that?" She continued to blush. "I don't know, I guess black magic is faded when it's around love." I blinked repeatedly. "Are you... In love with Felix...?" She finally looked at me and smiled a little. "Maybe."
I suspected that Felix had feelings for her, but I never would've guessed that she would've loved him back. She looked up at the ceiling as a large bang echoed through the dungeon. "We should probably see what's going on." I looked around. "Uh, right. I just need to think of how to get out of here first." Then suddenly, a flash of yellow light came from Harper, and then she was gone.
I gasped and looked around until I saw a tiny glowing dot flying into my cell. Another flash of light, and she appeared in front of me again. I jumped. "H-How did you do that?!" She smiled. "I just turned into my pixie form silly. Though there was no need. Felix doesn't lock these doors anyway. He just asked me to stay here while he delt with some intruders. Which I assume was you guys." She then pushed the cell door open and gestured me to follow. "Come quickly!" I was shocked, and kind of felt stupid for not checking if the door was unlocked. But can you blame me?!
I quickly caught up to her, and we both went up the spiral staircase and into the hallway. I noticed that Harper seemed to know where she was going. 'Felix must've let her roam free while she was here.' That thought made me feel better. 'I'm glad he didn't treat her like a prisoner.' We approached the main room where I was before, and stopped to see what was going on. Felix was still levitating, his eyes red, and he was attacking Arine while Cienar and Ikko used their magic to fight back.
I got annoyed. "Seriously?! Why must you guys always have to solve everything with violence??!!" They immediately stopped to look at me. "Silvera?!" I crossed my arms and Arine came out from behind Cienar. "How are you here? We saw you fall down a hole!" I shrugged. "The door to the cell I was in was unlocked."
Arine moved his eyes to see Harper standing next to me. "Harper! I'm glad you're okay! We need to leave now!" She crossed her arms and walked up to where Felix was. Arine's expression turned into confusion. "What are you doing?! Get away from him!" She looked up at Felix and he floated down to her.
"I thought I told you to stay in the dungeon!" A sad look entered her face. "You got angry again." She placed a hand on his cheek and he closed his eyes angrily. Then the black designs on his skin started to disappear, and his face relaxed. When he opened his eyes again they were back to their normal green and Arine's mouth dropped.
"What's going on?!" I was tired of Arine's big mouth today, so I just blurted it out. "It's obvious that Felix is in love with Harper!" Arine's eyes widened. "He's what??!!" Felix immediately blushed and stepped back. "W-What? I-I'm not- In love with her!" I sighed. "Relax, she's in love with you too you idiot!" He blinked. "She is?" Harper turned to me. "He is?" I smiled finally getting everything out in the open.
Harper turned to Felix blushing as well. "Is that, why I can cure you? You're, in love with me?" He avoided her gaze. "I tried not to be, but you're so amazing I couldn't help it." He turned back to meet her eyes. "I never said anything because I thought you hated me for kidnapping you and almost killing you." She smiled softly. "I knew it wasn't your fault. I've known you ever since you and Arine became friends, and I know that you always did your best to not hurt anyone. And I love you for that." Felix placed a hand on her cheek and kissed her. Arine then immediately ran up to them and pulled her away. "Ahhh!! Don't do that! It's weird!!"
Harper started to yell at him for ruining the moment, and I looked back to Cienar and Ikko. Ikko sighed. "Ugh, I'm tired of all this lovey dovey stuff. I need some fresh air or I'm going to throw up." Cienar nodded. "Agreed." But before they could turn to the door, it slammed open and my eyes widened as soon as I saw who opened them. I started to shake all over and I couldn't move as the demon king entered the room. 'S-S-Sythyon??? What is he doing h-here???'
