Chapter 15
Rosabella's P.O.V
I groan as I put pressure on my left rib. I'm sure Bethany broke my ribs again. I cried as I kept feeling the sharp pain with each breath I took. My eyes were finally fully healed, Bethany had sliced my eyelids, then she grabbed candle and poured hot wax down my forehead to see how the wax would dry on my sliced eyelids. She healed then but this morning she dragged my face across the field and blades of grass actually felt like little pointy blades as she swept me around. Tears cascade down my cheeks, I laid myself onto what I have called a bed for the last three weeks. My hands...my legs... my whole body. Is in agony, I've been undergoing inhuman torturing for three weeks now. Gabriel... I sobbed to myself as I tried to wipe the dry blood stain from my recently healed wrists.
Save me Gabriel...
I kept replaying Cayden's soft expressions in my head, his touch was gentle but his eyes... They gleamed red every second of it. Like, they were lit by firry flames of rage only by the mere sight of me. I could tell he didn't want to leave me, his body moved but for some reason I could hear his soft voice in my head as he turnes away... He told me to stay alive.
"Rose," I look up to see Sonia standing arms crossed right at the doorway. "You keep summoning me and it's getting annoying."
I look away in fear, "I-I haven't done such." I say but my voice trembled so much I could hardly understand it myself.
Sonia sighs, comes into my cell and closes the door behind her. As fast as She snaps her fingers I felt my agonizing body warm and lighter and everything around me was bright daylight. I felt dazed, I look down at myself; I was dressed and was no longer covered in dirt, blood or cut and bruises. I look up at her in disbelief.
"Relax, you're body is still trapped in the cell but I'm giving you a much need break. I can't stand to see you so dirty much worse smell you." Sonia flips her hair at me and gestures me to stand right in front of her.
"You're of magic blood... And you keep summoning me because you're feeling like you're in danger." Sonia rolls her eyes. "You are, but it makes me stop everything I am doing as your pull is fucking magnified!"
"I don't-"
"I know you don't!" Sonia snaps and sighs. "I'm going to teach you how to do this." She motions all around u she then explain for me to relax and take in a deep breath. She also explained that in order for it to work I must see it executed in my mind before I could see it in person. She smiles encouragingly at me and nods me to go.
"I'm not magic." I say stepping back and cupping my hand before me. "I'm human."
"All you need to do is recite in your head what you want to see." Sonia ignores me and walks right past me. She turns to face me, "Come on, we don't have all day."
"Why are you being nice?"
"I owe you." Sonia snaps.
"Why?"
"Forget that, do as you're told! At least, this way you can escape when Bethany is doing her thing." Sonia avoided making eye contact.
"Why do you stay with her? You see how malicious she is." I said it before I could stop myself. My body froze, everything began to tremble as the thought of being slapped or stabbed came to mind.
Sonia throws her hands up and gave me an annoyed grin. "I'm not into family torture, she is. All you're enduring is what she learned from dear old Dad."
"Draco?" I gasp as images of Gabriel and his scars came to mind. "Di-did he do this to Gabriel?"
"Everything." She nods and gave me another eye roll. "Stop feeling petty and control yourself! You have to master this, you have plenty of time before Bethany comes back... I have to go before a maid or someone notices I'm taking too long down here." She snaps her fingers and instantly all the pain returned and everything was back to gloom.
"Try summoning Gabriel or Cayden in your head... You might just see them before your end." Sonia says before walking out and closing the door behind.
I sob as I feel hopeless, I can't successfully escape into my own mind to avoid the pain, I'm going to invoke a magic serendipity place out of thin air and even have Gabriel or Cayden there. I scowl at myself. How can I do this? I bit my lower lip in deep thought.
I cleared my thoughts and took in a deep and calmed breath. I closed my eyes, I began to imagine my balcony. I began to feel a bit queasy as I kept chanting in my head Gabriel's name. My head began to feel heavy, my body was becoming light once more but I could still feel myself in my cell even though I could feel a cool fresh air against my skin. I kept repeating Gabriel's name but it kept making me feel sick to my stomach, out of no where I heard myself speak.
"Cayden."
I gasped as my surroundings felt suddenly shake but they quickly stilled as I felt my whole self in trance, my body became light, no longer deep in pain. I look down at myself, I did it. I managed to make a world in my head: I can escape now. I took in a deep breath before I felt a warm but ghostly tug of my arm. I look behind to be taken at back. I gasped, I felt my whole body go numb.
Cayden...There he stood, eyes wide, face full of worry. He tried touching me once more but looked back into his hand.
"Why can I hardly feel you?" Cayden asks.
"I called for you... Sonia taught me how to escape into a magic induced world." I say sobbing still unable to believe Cayden is here. "I don't even know if your a figment of my imagination."
"Rose, I'm here... Like, here." He looks around. "At your balcony." He sounded puzzled.
"How's Gabriel?" I asks.
"He's goo-Why you call me and not him?" He asks raising his brow at me.
"I tried... But I couldn't." I said looking down at my hands. "At least I can see you." I cried quietly to myself.
Cayden brought me into a tight embrace; I could faintly feel him, faintly smell his cologne, I longed for this to be real. Cayden places his chin on the too of my head as we hugged.
"Tomorrow we will finally get you Rosabella." Cayden softly spoke still holding on.
"I'm going to die either way, Bethany has it all planned."
Cayden pushes me away and frowns down at me,"You won't die." Cayden spoke firmly.
"I-"
"No one will let that happen!" Cayden cuts me off angrily. "Stay strong till tomorrow! Gabriel will save you from her! We will be there."
I sobbed staring up at him unable to speak, I wanted to say so many things. I wanted to hear this from Gabriel, but hearing this from Cayden made my heart both flutter and ache. I felt the sudden urge to hug him, and without realizing my body had just done that. I pushed myself into his body and wrapped my arms around his muscular body. Although I knew this wasn't real, I know it's what I needed. He returned my embrace.
"I hope you're right." I say pulling away from him. "Tell them I'm alright." I smile taking one last look at Cayden green gleaming eyes before closing my eyes.
I felt as if I dropped back into my cold bruised body, but I didn't feel sad. I smiled at the thought of what tomorrow could bring.
