" Leave " Omna yelled at them all and they all teleported away.
Pavith walked closer to Omna. " Omna let Zillah go just this once " she pleaded with her eyes but Omna didn't budge. His eyes sent cold shivers down her spine but she knew that if Alvah came down here it might be a different story for Omna.
" What is your plan if Alvah actually comes here?" She asked him boldly standing up to his face. " I do not care about Alvah or what he would do " He said fearlessly
She sighed at him and walked away. He turned to Zillah who had suddenly become cold as Ice. She glared at Omna with a grudge in her heart like she would never forgive him for this if she ever got out of here alive .
She badly wishes that she had Empyreal Ghazan's power at the moment she would run away instead.
" What's your choice, Zillah?" He asked her walking closer. Zillah had no choice but to look at her options. She immediately decided according to what Cristal told her earlier.
" Good girl" Omna said walking away. He left her lonely and the lights turned off leaving the province to be dark. She crouched and laid on the cold ground with tears.
Morning approached Soo fast it was like a wink
" Zillah" Cristal called out to her in a low voice to confirm if she was already taken away.
Zillahs eyes opened slowly when she heard Cristal's faint voice. She quickly got up looking at her. She ran closer " have you made your choice?" Cristal asked worriedly. Zillah nodded at her. Zillah looked Soo sick and pale. She had never seen her in this position before and it was really concerning.
" Zillah where is Alvah?" Cristal asked with almost tears in her eyes knowing he was her last hope to save Zillah. " I have no idea Cristal, I do not know" Zillah began crying. Cristal had the urge to hold her but they were close yet Soo far.
" Good morning"
They both looked around to see the voice belonged to Omna and Cristal had never been more disgusted by his presence. " You're up Soo early" he said to Cristal with a smile.
Cristal couldn't hide her anger. She shot him a glare and move farther from Zillah because Omna was closer to her.
" Come with me" he opened up the metal door. Extending his hands to Zillah to take hold of but she slapped it away.
" Well that's the last gentle service you're getting from, well anyone " he chuckled lightly walking away " follow me" he ordered.
Zillah ran to Cristal hugging her tightly. ". Anything you have to say I'll deliver it to Alvah" Cristal said to her just in case alvah showed up.
" He won't come" Zillah replied and Cristal had a shocked look on his face. Zillah had to accept reality, she wasn't feeling anything with Alvah so why should she hope on what's not to come. " Zillah is he dead?" Cristal had to ask this question cause it looked like this was the only conclusion she could draw from what was happening.
" Zillah!" Daivik called out to her with Aeron. He gave her a hug. She was sweating profusely because of the fear she had inside her that she couldn't control.
Aeron hugged her as well using his shirt to wipe the sweat on the face. " Hey you'll be fine, okay " he tried to make her calm but her nerves were in jet mode.
" Zillah where is Alvah and why isn't he coming?" Daivik asked with a perplexed face. About time he had come to her rescue why wasn't he here.
" Are you guys in a serious fight?. He hasn't visited you in forever. Should we talk to him for you?" Aeron was disquiet.
" I'll be fine you guys. Take care I'll see you later" was her response to their questions. But that just left them more puzzled. What was going on between the both of them.
" Zillah we could get Alvah for you on your command" Daivik was responsive with a serious look on his face that Zillah never underrated.
" You don't have to, if he wants to be willing come". She said nonchalantly.
" Pavith went earlier to try to talk with Omna, hopefully he agrees " Cristal said when she heard a voice from behind. " Hopelessly I did not. Let's go Zillah "
" Thank you guys Soo much". She walked away from their presence, waving her hands at them that now looked leaner and paler than ever.
She gave them a faint reassuring smile that she would be fine and they could not interfere any longer in this.
" Which cell do you choose?" He offered her gently pointing at each of the cells and they were deadly but she had to pick one. " Just one Zillah, just one"
She walked ahead of her opening the cell and the chill that covered her entire body felt like it was from the north pole.
She looked at Omna with a teary face but why did he look heartless at the moment. She looked back and walked in. In an instant her lips froze and couldn't move. Her hands were iced up and so was the rest of her body.
She gave a last smile remembering Alvah but that smile was Soo bitter.
" Zillah would not be okay" Cristal spoke with her throat dried up and teary. They looked at her but she ran towards the direction Omna and Zillah walked towards.
When she got there, Zillah was not there and she knew she had entered one of the cells.
Omna directed her to the cell Zillah entered and Cristal ran closer but it was concealed she had no idea what had befallen Zillah.
She sat waiting on her. "How long would she be in there?" She asked Omna with the last pleading vein running in her body.
" How long do you want her to be in there?" He seemed to be considerate.
" 24 hours" she said. "Done" he replied to her. And her eyes widened in shock . "wait wait 30 minutes, 20 minutes" she said each time lesser than the other .
" Nice try Cristal but you had one chance. And I wouldn't go any smaller than 24". He said this walking away leaving her there with Zillah in the cell.

" I need help" Alvah asked in the lonely woods. And his beats appeared. " Just one of you " he said for clarification. The cheetah offered to be his rider back because he was faster than the others.
" Wish I had a bird" Alvah muttered but they heard him loudly. He went quiet for a moment slowly climbing on top of it with all his beasts glaring at him because of what he said
" Let's go, I need to get to Elysian as quickly as possible" He was stable on the cheetah and it began running as fast as it could.
He was surprised at its speed but he would never compliment him nor any of his beast so they wouldn't be more prideful than they were already. He laughed at the thought when Zillah flashed in his mind.
He smiled at the thought of them reuniting and he could not get enough tingles each time he fantasize about them both.
Maybe she has really soften the dark spot in his heart and soul. When he decided to go on this journey he had only felt that it would be more better if he worked on himself and fixed his energy better but doing it for her felt more ambitious and loving and he liked the feel of it.
" Took me long enough to realize how much you felt for me back then" he remembered vividly how Zillah would want him and his presence around her but all he did to her was pure evil even attempting to kill her.
He was furious with himself but he had to forgive himself if he wanted to move on from his horrible past.
