Gab
“Really, Father?” I growled. This stupid jerk. I can’t believe I respected this man. “How could you do this?”
To my surprise, he laughed loudly.
“Finally, I can have my revenge!” he said looking at Ri and the group. “You’re too late bitch!”
I saw a blue-grayish smoke starting to come out from the shell.
“Eana, AC, Bianca, Chaunelle!” Ri called out to the four girls.
“Ichbi cho mopen-ji Frien, Gaea, Heyrdro ash Wisht, chwar the lejsk sprosk” (Spirit of the elements fire, earth, water and wind, restore the shell of the sprosk!)
I heard the five girls spoke all together followed by an energy coming out from their bodies. Red, green, white, blue and a rainbow-colored coming from Ri’s body.
By and by, the blue-grayish smoke slowly retreated back to it’s shell.
A loud growl escaped from someone’s throat and I saw my father starting to attack along with Juno and the other rogues.
I growled at my father. I saw him flinched but he continued. I faced him. It’s now or never. I can’t let him hurt my mate. I saw Ri’s brother fought the rogues while Rochie fought Juno.
“Back off, Father!” I orderd in my alpha tone.
“No, Gabriel! This is the day I have been waiting for. I have spent a hundred years of trying to defeat the Fraeians!” I met him and prepared in a fighting stance. I heard gasps around us.
“Who are you?” I heard Drew asked. “How do you know about Fraeia?” I looked at them and saw rogues lying on the ground, even Juno.
“Who am I?” he said sarcastically. He shook his head and smirked. “I am Arkham, the mate of Freyren Joan, former sho ghenissh of Fireo.” (king)
“Y-you’re a banished!” Bianca uttered followed by gasps from the people around.
“You’re ancestors are the reason why I am banished. They took my position away!”
“That’s because you were a cruel person!” Ri finally spoke in her royal tone.
He grinned. “And for that, you’ll pay!” He said and released a powerful ray on the now-restoring shell breaking it into pieces.
“NO!” I heard the girls shout causing me to jump in my place. I attacked my father, hitting him in the stomach. He was thrown into the wall of the cave, shaking it.
He stood up and counter-attacked. He slammed unto my body which I was not able to avoid.
I was thrown away. I stood up despite the pain I felt and prepared for another attack.
I took another step towards my father when I fell down to the ground feeling like being electrocuted.
I thrashed and thrashed but the pain remained. “Ahhh…” I screamed when I can’t take it any longer.
As sudden as it started, it stopped. I stood up to see my father thrashing on the ground.
“Now Gab!” Red yelled at me. I nodded and stood up.
Feeling the wind around me, I used my power to move fast and attacked my father. Taking a deep bite on his neck, I felt him shiver and clawed me. I bit harder until I heard him took one last straw of breath.
I released my father’s dead body and shifted back to my human form.
I stalked towards the circle where I saw the boys embracing their mates. A pang of jealousy hit me. I wish I can be with mine, too. I looked at Ri and was stunned with what I saw. I was out of my trance when I heard them yell.
“No, Ri. Please! Listen to us!” Eana called out. “Ri!”
I looked to where they are all looking. Horror struck my face as I witness what was happening.
“Ri!” I called out to my mate.
Eana (*Surprise*)
“Finally, I can have my revenge!” Former Alpha Ivan said looking at us. He looked at Ri. “You’re too late bitch!”
We saw a blue-grayish smoke starting to come out from the broken shell.
I looked at my mate and saw them fighting the rogues while Rochie was fighting Juno.
“Please take care, babe.” I called out to our mind link.
“I will. You take care, too. I love you!” He answered.
“I love you, too.”
“Eana, AC, Bianca, Chaunelle!” Ri called us.
“Ichbi cho mopen-ji Frien, Gaea, Heyrdro ash Wisht, chwar the lejsk sprosk” (Spirit of the elements fire, earth, water and wind, restore the shell of the sprosk!)
We spoke all together. Afterwards, powers came out from our bodies in a form of energy. Red from mine; green from Bianca; white from Chaunelle; blue from AC and a rainbow-colored ray coming from Ri’s body.
By and by, the blue-grayish smoke slowly retreated back to the shell. At least our powers have overpowered it. I smiled and looked at my sisters. I saw how exhausted they are especially Ri who has to control the four elements.
We continued using our powers to fix the shell which is slowly getting back to its original form.
“Back off, Father!” I head Gab ordered his father.
“No, Gabriel! This is the day I have been waiting for. I have spent a hundred years of trying to defeat the Fraeians!” I gasped at the same time, I heard gasps around me.
We stopped with what we were doing.
“Who are you?” I heard Drew asked. “How do you know about Fraeia?”
“Who am I?” Ivan said sarcastically. He shook his head and smirked. “I am Arkham, the mate of Freyren Joan, former sho ghenish of Fireo.”
“Y-you’re a banished!” Bianca uttered followed by our gasps.
“You’re ancestors are the reason why I am banished. They took my position away!”
“That’s because you were a cruel person!” Ri finally spoke in her royal tone.
He grinned. “And for that, you’ll pay!” He said and released a powerful ray on the now-restoring shell breaking it into pieces.
“No!” I screamed and I saw Gab fighting him.
The sprosk started to come out once again.
“Quick!” Ri called us out once again.
“Ichbi cho mopen-ji Frien, Gaea, Heyrdro ash Wisht, chwar the lejsk sprosk” (Spirit of the elements fire, earth, water and wind, restore the shell of the sprosk!)
We said once again but the damage was far too great to get fixed immediately.
The sprosk was almost out of its shell.
“Ahh…Let me go, Kyle!” AC screamed in horror.
“It’s starting to affect us!” Ri told us. “Concentrate! Come on! Think of your mates!” Ri said trying to keep our mind on positive things.
“No! Get away from me…” Chuanelle screamed this time.
“Girls, you’re mates, remember them. Chaunelle, Rochie is there!” Ri continued to motivate us.
“Please Mother. No! I’m sorry!” A frightened Bianca screamed too.
The sprosk is attacking our fears.
“I have to be strong! Be strong, Eana!” I spoke to myself. “Think of Red; his lips, his touch, his whispers of sweet-nothing. Think about, Ri. Her smile, her sweetness! Think of them, Eana!” I continued chanting in my head.
Then it all happened quickly. I felt being enveloped by a cold air. I looked around the mist and my eyes bulged to see what’s happening.
“Rogues!” I shouted. I ran towards my mother. “Mom, watch out!” But it was too late. My mom was already lying on the ground. “Mom!” I cried hard.”I’m sorry!”
I felt myself dropped to the ground. Tears continued to flow.
I felt hands wrapped around me at the same time, my sadness is lifted from my heart. From the sparks that erupted, I know it’s my mate. The mist covering me vanished.
“Babe, calm down! I’m here!” I heard my mate’s soft voice and instantly calming me.
I was awoken from the trance the sprosk had on me. And I think, my other sisters were the same too, other than Ri who was standing still in the middle, arms stretched towards the sprosk.
I saw Bianca, AC and Chaunelle being hugged by their mates.
I turned my stare to Ri who was still giving off the power to fix the shell.
She looked at me, too. She’s sweating too much. I can see she’s more than exhausted.
I looked at the shell and it’s almost fixed. Ri has managed to fix the shell alone. No wonder she’s that exhausted. I started to give off my power again and the rest followed.
“The -the shell is almost complete!” Ri spoke in a weak voice. “But the s-sprosk is still strong and we can’t trap it back. I have to get inside and defeat it.”
“No, Ri. It’s dangerous! And you have lost much energy.”
“I have to or else, the shell won’t close.” She smiled at us. “Now,” she spoke in her royal tone. My heart beat faster.
“No, Ri.”
“I want you to continue working on the shell. If I won’t be out after the grundha (Second to the last layer) is done, then complete the shell without me.”
“No, Ri. We can’t do that!” Bianca spoke. “We can’t possibly trap you inside the shell!
“You have to.” Her royal tone was forcing us to comply.
“Please, Ri. We beg you!” Chaunelle spoke.
I don’t know why our mates did not say anything. When I looked at Red, he’s crying. I looked at the other three and they’re crying too.
“Ri, don’t sacrifice yourself! Listen to us!” I asked her. “We can defeat it when we are together. Please, Ri.”
She smiled at me as her answer. Slowly, her body glowed.
“No, Ri. Please! Listen to us!” I called out her name once again. “Ri!”
“Ri!” I heard Gab called to her but she was gone.
