The morning light blurred my vision as I woke up with my hands covering my eyes. Something for protection. But the light hurled into my eyes, making me feel the dried tears on my cheeks.
Sitting up, I wondered when the last night charmed my eyes and erode me into sleep. Sleepiness without a dream. And this is unusual for me.

ARTHUR’S POV “Wait for me, mom and dad.” “Your sister, Jane. Oh my poor Jane,” Janet lamented. “Go back son. Hurry and save her,” Dennis said, and they disappeared. Arthur shouted, “No!” I woke up as if someone dropped me on the bed. Darkness loomed around the room for some time and then someone swapped on the light. Vivian, my new partner in crime, sat beside me. I smelt her perfume but I can’t see her. Maybe because of the light that shines and strikes my eyes. Or maybe because I was not feeling fine. And, after some minutes, I see everything. Feeling pain in my chest, I forced myself to sit up and leaned my back on the wall. “Why did you save her?” V

The unknown hand went off as I raised my hands to push it away. And the voice came again, but this time, the voice speaks in a language that I understand. It’s calling my name.

I wrapped my arms around her, and I feel her heart pounding up and down. She looked into my eyes. “Isobel, we have to find a way out of here. He said he would come back and sacrifice your blood to a god. Isobel, is it true?

Isobel POV Had suffered throughout the midnight as they compelled me and as I compelled myself to move with hope, although my legs were heavier to carry. And heavier to drop. And had stridden on thorns, and on flowers, and my legs had kissed the warm and icy sand, but I don’t dare to stop. Luckily for me, they lost me as I sneak beneath a bush in the darkness. And I heard one said, “we can’t go back without her.” “Let’s wait here till dawn,” the other said. “I heard her pulse. She hides.” “Her foolishness can’t fool us.” At that moment, I don’t know when night charmed my eyes to relinquish to the hands of slee

On the bed that night, I laid down beside snoring Helen, staring at the ceiling. And the voice of my power speaks to my ears, “Isobel, go to the water. Go to the sea”. Fear danced within me as I realized I might die if I didn’t get into the sea on time. If I don’t obey the voice, and then I hate the way my power was under Melusine’s. I looked at Helen; she is nice and friendly, but doesn’t want me to go anywhere. She taught me everything, how to hold a spoon normally, and how to drink without pouring it down on my clothes. Had given her a lot of stress during the day, and now she is snoring. Staring at the serene ceiling, I thought of Arthur and his kiss. And his love swirled within me. I missed him and I know he would, too. My eyes filled as I remember the day I sat in the lier boat when his eyes held mine, but he didn’t
