Cyrus's head was spinning. He couldn't believe this, why does the woman he likes have to be Samuel's twin sister? And he even left Trent to protect, which means Ella and Trent are close.
No, he can not let Trent win, he has found a woman that caught his eye, and he is not going to let her be taken by his number-one enemy.
While Cyrus was battling in his mind, Chen brought a handkerchief that belonged to her and sniffed it. His eyes glowed, and he found himself running through the market going through places that had Ella's scent. As soon as he reached the alley. A powerful force pushed him back.
Chen grunted in pain and held his head this got Trent and Cyrus's attention. "What happened?" Trent's voice was barely audible. "I tried to find her but something blocked my sense of smell." Chen felt hopeless, Cyrus sat down on the wooden floor with his back leaning on the wall not far from the door. He felt useless, there was nothing he could do at this moment.
Trent on the other hand knew that Chen won't be able to find her if Lex couldn't do it nor can Chen do it. Even his tracking magic was canceled. He was the biggest culprit in this room, he was refusing to use the power he got from the experiment but not anymore he has to use it to find El.
"Both of you, Get out." Trent's voice sounds relaxed and yet scary.
Chen and Cyrus, who were both still feeling down, stood up and left the room without asking him any questions.
NOWHERE.
Ella woke up, her head was buzzing and everything was blurry "Ella! Ella!! you're finally awake." Her eyes finally cleared up and saw a lot of girls in the cave, some looked scared, some seemed to have lost hope and some were faces she recognized from the files given to her. "I am glad you're ok" the young lady hugged her and she hugged her back. "Thank you, Rose, I am ok."
That's when it clicked to her, "Rose! How on earth did you get here?" Ella was beyond surprised. "Well after our long chat. I got a headache and I needed some aspirin, surprisingly we had none at home so I decided to go and get myself some aspirin."
She recalled what happened that night because of Ella. Not only did she miss her TV drama, but she also got a headache and decided to go out. She was still in her jammies when she walked to the pharmacy that wasn't far from their house. She brought the drugs, paid for them, and pushed the transparent plastic door that led her out.
Just when she was about to take another step, she saw a little boy crying, his clothes were torn and he was bleeding. He looked not less than five or six years old. Rose dropped the paper bag that contained the aspirin and rushed to the boy. The town was humid, and the rainy season is about to end, so it rains constantly.
She kneels in front of him and holds his tiny hands, squeezing them softly to ease him.
"What is it, my dear? " She asked him in a calm, soothing voice. "Some people took me away, they wanted to kill me so I ran away." he stammered before bursting into tears. Rose's heart ached for the boy, she laid his head on her bosom and gently patted him on the back.
"Is ok." "I want to go to my mummy." the boy cried out. Is ok, I will help you find your mummy." She held him by the shoulder and helped him stand straight. "Come let's go to the police, they will help you find mummy." "They will find my mummy?" the boy's eyes lit up and Rose smiled. "And also catch the bad guys, who did this to you." the boy's eyes grew brighter.
They hailed a taxi driver and entered it. "Is ok, everything is going to be alright." "You're right about that." The boy's voice was now that of an adult. He began to morph back to his original form. Rose tried to open the door, but it was locked and she couldn't unlock it. "You are not going anywhere sweetheart." the driver spoke, he removed his cap, revealing his bald head.
"Albert, who knew that morphing into a child will get me so many benefits? She hugged me and let my head lie on her large, soft breasts." The two men laughed like mad people. "If not for the fact that we need her as a virgin, I would have loved to fuck that tight ass." the red hair guy licked his lips. Rose moved back, her back was now leaning on the door.
"But squeezing those humongous boobs of yours, won't get me into trouble," he said and launched at her. Rose used her legs to kick him back while screaming her lungs out. "Let her be Ben." the bald guy spoke and Ben clicked his tongue, he went back to his seat with a frown on his face. Rose's body was still shaken from fear whilst tears rolled down her cheeks.
Ella hugged her as she continued to cry. Everything is going to be ok. I promised." She hugged Rose.
"Time for launch!" she felt Rose shaking. "He harasses her every time he brings our meal." a young black lady informed her.
Ella felt her blood boiling. "Here it is, he began to give them their lunch through the gaps in the metal prison gate. They placed a rug on the cold hard floor, which has already started to get wet, there is a leakage from the top of the cave they were in. When he reached Rose and Ella he stretched his hand at her holding the wrapped food and drink.
"Take it my dear." he had a devilish smile on his face. Ella snatched it from him. "Thanks for the meal." she smiled at him. He frowned and brought the last one out. "Here, dear." Ella snatched it again. The other ladies were watching in awe except for one who seemed unfazed by what was happening.
Ella unwrapped it, "hamburger for launch. You guys must be broke." Ella mounched on the burger, "You couldn't even buy a delicious one from Santichro. How cheap." The ladies were in a stupor. Ben gritted his teeth.
"WHO THE HELL, DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?" He yelled, making some of the ladies flinch.
But Ella cared less. "You are a shapeshifter right?" She pointed at him before sipping the drink in front of her. "What has that got to do with you?" He snorted. "It's just that I heard that a shapeshifter's real face is so ugly that it will make you gouge your eyes out." "That is not true, this is my real face." He pointed at his face as he glared at her. "Well, you must be among the less ugly ones."
"You, I will kill you!" He grabbed the cage, his eyes were filled with rage.
"No you can't kill me, I wonder what skirt size you and your partner wear. I mean you guys are no men. being sneaky instead of being direct."
"Ahhhhh, I will kill you, I will fucking kill you!" he reached out trying to get grab her. The girls started screaming Ella remained untroubled.
"What is going on here?" A lady walked in and Ben immediately stepped away from the cage. "The guy was trying to molest us," Ella said, pretending to be scared. Before Ben could say anything, the young lady smacked him right across the face. "Get out." Her voice was cold. He didn't dare say anything but leave there. "I am so sorry about that. You won't be seeing him again. Well until the day of the sacrifice." with that she left.
"You are amazing, the ladies surrounded except for one, her hair is white and long, her skin is pale, and she is the most beautiful woman she has ever seen.
"We are still going to die." the young girl started crying.
"No we won't," Ella said to her. "You seem so confident about it." The young lady spoke to her.
Ella closed her eyes, trying to summon blue justice. She had faith in Trent she knew he could find her but she was not ready to play a damsel in distress.
"Her shoulder dropped. "What is it?" Rose asked. "I couldn't summon blue justice." She looked sad.
"If only I had the ring." She clicked her tongue. "You mean, this ring." Rose showed her the ring." Ella was surprised "how come?" "Some guy named Brian delivered it to you, you said you didn't want it, so I decided to use it." The ring 💍 was a simple silver band ring with small blue rubies in the center.
"I need some of you to be on the lookout." "But how are we going to know when they are coming?." An elvish lady asked.
"Shadows, when they are about to walk in you will see their shadow first." The lady finally spoke, shocking all of them.
"Ladies, I need you to be on the lookout. Is time we stop being the damsel in distress waiting for a prince to save them nonsense."
Ella boldly announced.
