Chapter 91 The Original Plan

Chapter 91 The Original Plan

My face is stained with tears, my heart is beating out of my chest and all I can feel is the pain of my claws digging into my palm. Once my breathing technique wasn't working, I had to focus on something else.

Pain.

I have fear of what they might do to Cora but most of all, I am pissed. No, angry.

I am angry and I am out for blood. Blood for anyone who tries to stand in my way and most of all Nikolaos. This bastard went as far as to get help from Jazmine and she did!

Jules and Rhea thinks something isn't adding up, that she would never do that but they also never thought she would have turned their people against them either.

I just don't know what to believe, I can't think straight. I feel like I'm going crazy.

I am currently flying at high speed towards Nikolaos castle with Jules by my side. We left Rhea and Lyra behind to get off the mountain and get somewhere safe. When they do, Rhea should be meeting back up with us.

"Elle!" Jules calls out for my attention. I look in her direction and she head nods towards a direction I've never been before. I look at her confused but she says, "Just follow me!" She flies down towards a valley and I reluctantly follow her.

Jules is the first to land on a hill and I land behind her. "What are we doing here?"

"I need to find them." She retracts her wings and begins to look around.

"Find who?" I ask following behind her.

"Them!" She points ahead of us and there are a bunch of people laying on the ground knocked out. We run towards them and try to wake up the persons we got to first.

Most of them slowly begin to wake up, looking around confused. "What happened?" Jules asks while looking around terrified.

"We don't-" Someone started but was cut off by another. I think her name is Cloe.

"The demons."

"Yes, they attacked us and took Jazmine, along with Siara, Katy, Sophie and about ten more of us. They were too fast for us to stop them." Someone else jumped in.

"They brain washed them."

"Brain washed?"

"Yes. They did something to Katy and the others and I think they did the same to Jazmine because she never came back." They slowly begin to stand up and some help each other up.

"Yeah, she attacked us on the mountain and took the baby."

"The baby?!" Most of them ask in unison.

"Yes, and she also set the entire mountain on fire. I don't think it was her alone."

"What happened to Rhea and Lyra?"

"They're fine and safe." They all let a breath of relief hearing that they were ok.

"What do we do now?"

"The original plan. You up for that?" They all nod yes, while holding their weapons in hand.

"We're sorry for leaving you guys like that."

Jules shakes her head at her and say, "Don't tell me that." Everyone looks in my direction, silently asking if it's Elizabeth.

"No, I'm not Elizabeth."

"We'll do this later. Lets just get everyone else awake and get a move on."

Getting everyone awake was harder than we thought, some were really out of it. Eventually we got everyone up and up to date and they we were all pissed. Most of them already left, leaving some of us behind.

"Is everything ok?" I ask Jules starting to get impatient.

"Yeah, but we think it's best if you stay out of sight."

"What do you mean?"

"Nikolaos still thinks you/ Elizabeth is dead. If he or his men spot you, they might kill you on the spot."

A blonde steps in and adds, "Let us go in first. Eliminate most of the threat and we get your daughter out of there."

"We promise we'll bring her to you as soon as we get her."

"No, I'm getting Cora myself."

"Elle, there is a huge chance you might not get out of there alive. What good are to your daughter dead?" Jules asks.

"But- Why are doing this for me?"

"You are seriously not asking that question."

"Plus, we were all going to die soon, why not sacrifice ourselves earlier? This is one of the reasons why we came here."

I totally forgot that they would all be gone after all of this is over and it makes me a little sad. Believe it or not, I kind of enjoyed their company even though most of the time I was getting looked at weirdly and fighting demons.

"Ok, then what do I do?"

"There is a route from here you can take to get to the castle but it can only be done on foot. No flying, got it?"

I suck in a deep breath and nod. "Ok."

"You'll know when we're done." Jules said with a mischievous look behind her eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"You'll know." She repeats with the same look.

"Guys we need to go now."

"Ok, be careful." Jules squeezes my hand before leaving with the others.

I instantly take off running down the hill in the direction of the castle. I put my arm over my face to block all the branches from my face and try my best to avoid running into any trees. At some point, I stumble while hitting my foot on rocks and tree stumps because I can't see.

After running to a certain distance, I stop to catch my breath. All of a sudden, for some reason I feel like eyes are on me. Maybe I'm just paranoid for being in the woods by myself at night.

Not being too sure, I immediately start running again. Branch after branch, tree after tree, rocks after rocks, I avoid them all. My heart stops for a millisecond when I hear footsteps behind me. I stupidly decide to take a quick stop to ensure I heard what I did but all I hear is the wind and leaves blowing.

I take a step back, not watching behind me and hit my heel on something causing me to fall down the hill.

All I can say is that fall hurt like a bitch!

"Ow!" I cry out as I snap my ankle back in place. I roll it out, making sure it's all good before getting up. I begin to brush off all the dirt off me and the splinters out of my hair but stop when I hear something move and this time, I know that wasn't branches.

I'm not out here alone.

I hear the movements once again in front of me. I quickly look up trying to see what or who it is and my heart stops once I make eye contact.

The same eyes. I-I t's the same eyes.

Soulless.

"Cristian?" I whisper. He doesn't answer but just continues to look at me.

He looks so different from the last time I've seen him. He looks really pale and skinner. His hair black hair is much longer, reaching his shoulders.

I am afraid to blink, because if I do he might disappear into thin air.

I don't know what to do.

With trembling breath, I take a small step forward but when I do.... he was already gone. I turn around, looking for him frantically trying to see where he went but I can't make him out anywhere.

"Cristian?" I call out again hoping he recognizes my voice.

Please do.

I turn around one last time, hoping to see him but I am disappointed once again. "I don't want to give up on you." I whisper with tears building back up.

Being caught off guard, I am grabbed from behind by cold hands and sharp teeth are sunken into my neck. I scream at the top of my lungs feeling the stinging feeling in my neck. I try my best to pry him off me but I can't, he's too strong.

I begin to get weaker as my blood is being drained from my body and at some point, I stopped screaming. I can't find the energy to, I feel like I am about give out any second.

I am suddenly being ripped from his arms and thrown on the ground. Struggling to get up, my hand immediately goes to my neck. I could feel the teeth marks on my neck but it's not healing.

Eva....

I look back in Cristian's direction to see him laying limp on the ground with a very angry Nikolaos standing over him. I try getting up but it was impossible so I crawled as fast as I could to block him off.

"Please-" I beg out of breath. "Please don't kill him. J-just take me."

"He tried to kill you!"

"Isn't he your puppet? Doesn't he do what you tell him?!" I shout at him. He licks the roof of his mouth with his tongue before grabbing me by the arm and pulls me up.

"Fine, I'll spare your boyfriend but you're coming with me."

"No, we can't leave him out here like this." Nikolaos ignores my pleads and picks me up bridal style before speeding off into the woods.

Feeling myself getting droopy, the last thing I hear is a horse's neigh.

~~~~~~

ELIZABETH'S POV

In the middle of all of this, I took over while Elle was weak so it was easy for me when she doesn't put up a fight. I didn't want her to go through anymore of this, she's been through enough for the night.

Now that I have seen Cristian for myself, you have no idea how happy I am... but can he be saved?

He didn't even recognize Elle and he tried to kill her.... and he would have succeeded if it wasn't for Nik.

My question is why did save her... or me?

Gaining consciousness, I recognize the similar route Nikolaos was taking me, it's back to the castle. In the process, I helped Elle's body to heal. Eva seems to be too weak to heal herself.

As we approach closer to the Castle, I could her them. The screams, shouting, gunshots and the smell of blood and rotten flesh.

It's war.

A huge explosion suddenly goes off catching us off guard and causing the horse to rear. I try to keep calm as possible, not wanting for him to know I am awake. I have always hated horses, never liked these huge ass things.

This piece of shit knows this since he was the one that got me on one and caused me to fall on my ass.

It hurt by the way.

He calms the four legged beast by leaning forward and grabbing it by it's mane. It finally stops with it's nonsense and drops back on it's four legs.

"There you go bud!" He says tapping on it.

There it goes?! It almost killed me! I am not exaggerating, I feel a tear rolling down my face.

I begin to hear foot steps running towards us. "Get her down." He says to someone.

I feel arms grab me by the arms and take me from Nik's. "Be careful with her." He warns.

After hearing some more shuffling, I finally hear him say, "Give her to me and get the horses around the back."

"Yes, My Lord."

"Where are they now?"

"They're attacking the east side."

"Ok, keep them there and kill as much as you can and whatever you do, make sure they do not get their hands on that baby." He says sternly.

Hearing him mention the baby, makes me even more nervous.

"We saw sightings of werewolves, not too far from here, what do we do?"

"Kill all of them!"
