Chapter 26 - chapter 26

*Santoni cave

"Ouch! My head!!" Kylie cried touching her head. She looked around and everywhere was pitch black, the last thing she remembered was when she met the man that emitted a dark power. "Where am I?" She said trying to find her phone.

"You're finally awake," a female voice said

"Who are you?" Kylie asked despite perceiving a dark power from her.

"Ahhhh" Kylie screamed as she felt a sharp pain in her back. She was being whipped by the unknown woman in the room.

"I'd get my revenge through you" she swore.

**Daichi palace

Zayn and Rafael had gone to Daichi kingdom to find Kylie and Prime Minister David. Zayn had summoned the army of the palace to search every nook and cranny to find them when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back.

"Ahhh" Zayn screamed in pain.

"What's wrong Zayn?" His family asked at once.

"Arrgh!" He screamed again. "It's from Kyle, someone is hurting her"

"What??" Queen Tiffany suddenly realized what was happening. Since Kylie was missing, anything that goes wrong with her automatically affects Zayn.

"Guards! Find Kylie at all costs right now" King Yohan commanded.

*The human world

"Where on earth is Kylie, Nat? Where's our daughter?" Beatrice kept saying and crying. The corps had been informed about her disappearance and yet there was no lead on her whereabouts.

"We'd find Kylie, okay?" Nat said trying to encourage his wife. Vera had told them she and Kylie had gone to the Orpheum to find Zayn, they had seen the CCTV footage and they knew Kylie was abducted.

Vera watched Nat and Beatrice lament in pain and suddenly she was in another realm. "Where am I ?" She asked as she looked around and saw she was surrounded by mountains.

"Vera! Vera!!"

"Kylie? Kylie is that you?" Vera knew the voice that called her was for Kylie and immediately she came back to reality. "What is that? Why do I keep seeing weird things? She asked herself. "I should tell Rafael "

**

Prime Minister David and Dark Eyes were celebrating. "Who would have thought we'd take Zayn down so easily " dark eyes said.

"We should confirm if the pain we are inflicting on her is affecting him," Prime Minister David said.

"I'd put James in charge of that, '' Dark Eyes said. "I need to get the prophecy book, we need to finish Zayn off once and for all"

Prime Minister David went over to his apartment, which was surrounded by guards.

"I'd get my life back from you Yohan " he swore before he saw a familiar figure come out of the house. "Raf…" he muttered. He watched his son leave the house with the guards to the exit of the kingdom. Rafael went into the human world and he followed suit. Rafael perceived Vera's scent as soon as he got to the human world.

"She's around here somewhere".

He watched Rafael take a different turn and stopped when he saw a girl standing.

"Vera?" He called out. Vera turned to see him as she ran into his arms.

"We haven't found Kylie yet," she said, sobbing.

"We'd find her soon," he said.

"I have something to tell you," she said.

"Go on," he said

"I have been having weird dreams about some stuff, like today I heard Kylie's voice in the middle of the mountains, and on one of the mountains, was a crest"

"What? A mountain had a crest" he said as he held a closer. His father had once mentioned a mountain that had a crest.

"Yes, it had…"

"Rafael!"

They both turned to see who called.

"Dad!"

"Who's she?" Prime Minister David asked.

"Where's Kylie?" Rafael asked.

"What is going on here? Why are you asking him about Kylie, Rafael?" She asked.

"I don't want you with a human, son, " he said.

"Let go of Kylie, Dad," Rafael asked.

"And what if I don't?"

"Zayn would find you, Kylie is his second life and he'd protect her at all cost" Rafael tried to convince his father.

"I take down everyone I have to, to win this war, even if it means taking down everyone he cares about," Prime Minister David said

"Dad….."

"I thought you were on my side, son"

"This is a lost battle, let Kylie go," Rafael said but instead Prime Minister David rushed at him with his dark powers and disappeared with Vera.

"Vera!Vera!! Dad!!!" Rafael shouted like a madman. "Damn you". "The battle line has been drawn, I have to carry out Zayn's order else it will be too late to protect Kylie and Vera". He flew and immediately landed at Kylie's house banging the door hard.

"Who are you?" Nathan asked as he opened the door.

"I know where Kylie is," Rafael said. Nathan stood on guard as he perceived dark powers from him.

"Where's my child?" Beatrice asked

"You should know I'm not human and it was one of my kind who took your daughter," Rafael said. "Zayn and the others are working on getting her released, but you people aren't safe here either " he added.

"And why should we trust you?" Beatrice asked.

"Because I'm your best bet in seeing Kylie alive, if you don't go right now with me, I won't be able to protect you again ". Rafael added

Nathan and Beatrice exchanged looks before agreeing to go with him, and in the blink of an eye they were already in Daichi.

"Where is this place?" Beatrice asked.

"This is where your daughter is," he replied.

Dark eyes furrowed her brows as she read the book of prophecy.

"The only one who can kill a dark royal descendant is the princess of light".

"So inflicting pain on Kylie won't kill Zayn but only Kylie can" She looked at the picture drawn in the book of the prophecy, the princess of light stabbed the prince of darkness with the hawthorn wood. She rose immediately to the cage where she had been beating Kylie daily.

Kylie heard an approaching footstep and she cried in pain. She couldn't do anything as the room was enveloped with dark spirits. She was preparing her mind and sore body for another round of pain when she felt her hands and legs being unchained.

"Ahhh" Kylie screamed as she squinted her eyes to the bright light that enveloped the room. She finally saw the woman who had been inflicting her with pain, she looked exactly like Zayn.

"Hello, Princess Hazel," she said. " Get her out and treat her wounds, inform the doctor of her case, and give her the best care she can get" dark eyes ordered before looking into the book of prophecy again.
