❤️ My Hostage (Part 2) ❤️

"And how did you get to the conclusion that they are both in love with him?"

"According to what Rumiana is saying, she thinks Juno is back to steal Storm from her," she said. "Rumi has the strength of your lineage, dwarf and the powers from her father elves side too and I haven't seen Juno fighting to decide if she has your strength or not. And as for your third daughter you are hiding from me, I will find her. Well since you are still in the hole I put you in and you don't know what is happening outside these walls, I thought I should let you know. Don't worry yourself with thinking I will be bringing you the hot gist okay? Bye Adaoh for now, I get a feeling you will be seeing me often." Sarah waves at her and then finds the invisible door knob, opens it and leaves the prison. She decided not to surprise Dean with her lovely presence for now and with that thought, she flew towards Ashland and once she was out at the huge wall separating Ashland and Kudarma, she transformed into her human self and started looking for what had brought her out this far in the first place. She has to bring a flower to present to Rumi. Seeing one that she liked, she plucked it and once again transformed into her butterfly form and headed towards Emera House.

Reaching there, Sarah saw Rumi pacing around in the front yard and stopped, lifting up her head towards Sarah, it was as if she knew.

"What was keeping you?" Rumi asked as she glared at Sarah who quickly transformed back to her human self and presented the flower to her.

"This delayed me Rumi. I have got to find the perfect one so it won't ruin the portion I am going to make with it." Sarah answered.

"Let's get to work immediately,"

In a mocking bow, "Of course my Empress."

"Yeah, you better start calling me that, in fact start practicing that title because soon I shall become the Empress of Ashland."

"So let me ask you," Sarah said, leading the way inside as Rumi followed her. "Winning Storm to yourself is that what you want to achieve in all your life?" she asked.

"Getting Storm to myself is my first priority before anything else. I will only think of other things when I get my man. Now get to work Sarah or should I force you to do that?"

Sarah shut up and didn't say a word, she entered Rumi's room and knelt down in the middle of the room.

"Well, make a pot appear, there should be water in it, boiling," Sarah said.

"On it." Rumi quickly made the things Sarah requested appeared in from of where she knelt. "Anything else?"

"It will be so much easier if I was with my Powers and doing this myself without your aid, but anyways you have to say the spell yourself since it's for you."

"Then what are you waiting for? Start the portion, Sarah." Rumi orders and watches as Sarah poured in the blood they collected from Storm's into the boiling pot that seems to be boiling by itself without the aid of a fire. The water changed into Storm's blood, pure red and very thick.

"Bring your ear closer for me to whisper the spells to you, if I say it out aloud then the spell will work for me."

"What about the flower?"

"We don't need it anymore, I just remember that adding the flower itself will stop the spell from working." Sarah was quick to bring out a lie and Rumi brought it.

"Hurry up and tell me the spell. As long as it works I don't care for a stupid flower."

Sarah stood up to her feet and went over to meet Rumi, leaning forward, she whispered the words into the ears of Rumi and then moved backwards after she was done.

"That's it?" Rumi asked, staring at Sarah."Those four words?"

"Yes, now you have to say it exactly the way I told you, If not, it would be bad for you."

"Bad, how bad are you talking off?"

"It will reverse that means you will make your Storm hate you instead of to love you, do now understand," Sarah said. "Say it exactly the way it sounded Rumi. Make no mistake."

"How old do you think I am, five? I heard everything you say perfectly," Rumi said and went to kneel down at the same place Sarah was and close her eyes. Putting her right hand inside the boiling pot. The stench of burning flesh filled the room. Rumi ignored the pain she was feeling as she spoke out the words Sarah had whispered to her correctly. She removed her hand from the pot and quickly blew air on her hand, healing the melted skin and making it whole again.

"Good thing I have a magic in me mother," Rumi said with a lopsided smile as she watched the content in the pot stopped boiling.

"So you have to make him drink from this and you will see his excess love on you."

Getting up to her feet. "Thank you mother, I am going to cook for him and this time around I will make sure he does eat my food unlike before," Rumi said, rubbing her hands together.

"So you cooked for him and he rejected your food?"

"I won't call it rejected, he wasn't hungry and that stupid Juno made him ignore my food."

"Don't worry, he will be unable to resist the food. The aroma coming from this pot will make him feel hungry. We cannot smell the aroma because the spell wasn't for us."

"Don't bother with your explanation Sarah, no one needs it so please save it," Rumi said and went to her bed to sit on it. "Keep the pot safe and guard me while I rest. I have a long day tomorrow."

Ashland Palace:

The moon was out and Prince Morgan wasn't asleep in his room. He was wide awake and couldn't sleep because he was waiting and hoping for Gwen to sneak him into his room like she had done before.

In fact he had hoped his guards outside his room had been knocked out by her as she did before but nothing.

Why isn't she here yet? What is delaying her?

Unable to bear it anymore.

Sliding off from his bed, he opened his room door, ignoring the stares he was getting from his guards as he walked towards Storm's room.
