Victoria’s POV:
I am nobody. Everyone thinks that I and Peter are in hell. Soon, the council will pronounce Dorothy has the new Queen and Thomas, her husband as the new King. They fixed that we are dead. If we are really in hell that doesn’t mean that I am dead.
On another side, I am still in the same room for days. No one’s here to find us. We can’t break the spell till the person reverses the spell. That’s not going to happen. I am counting on those kids. Jacen, Noah and Kassidy. I know Kassidy will do anything for me. I know I should have tried anything to get out of here. But there’s no time in my mind to think about it. This life sucks. I can’t take it anymore. All I have been through is struggles and difficulties. I never got time to spend with my daughter all these years. I never know she’s alive. Now I got her back and lost her again. This is how it supposed to be. We can’t change what it’s meant to be. It’s all fate. If only fate has a twist, in the end, to make my life happy for once. Atleast once.
” Why are we sitting simply? We can rather watch the news. That’s the only thing we can do,” Peter told in frustration and switched on the Tv.
” Are we going to see the news about this Academy while we are already inside it? What’s the use in it?” I argued. Peter didn’t reply. He looked at the tv with his jaw open. My eyes wandered over the tv. Pamela is dead.
” What… what’s happening?” I stammered and took a step closer to the tv. Peter increased the volume at the same minute.
” Pamela, Dorothy’s personal assistant died three days ago. It’s not a death but a murder by a young vampire.” the reported said. The Academy is behind as the background. Suddenly Cassie came into the view.
” He needs to be executed to death. Jacen shot her and saved a bitch who was about to be executed to death,”
” Language, Cassie. Don’t embarrass yourself. Get away from there,” Dorothy’s called her while the live news was going on.
” I am sorry for the interruption. It’s a great loss for me. Pamela was a great wizard of the year. The funeral will be on…” Peter turned off the tv immediately and looked at me.
” Hurry up. I think we can get out.” He urged me and tried to open the door to the locked room.
” Don’t. The invisible power won’t let you go out of this…” Before I could finish my sentence, he opened the door just like that.
” I knew it. The spell was not done by Dorothy. It’s my Pamela. She’s dead and this spell does not affect us.” he enthusiastically said. I saw my husband smile after many years.
” Yes. What’s our destination now?”
” The council,” he replied and I interlocked my hands with his. He snapped his fingers and we both disappeared from the Academy. I know where we will be transported. The council meeting.
I opened my eyes to see the view of the whole large hall. Andrian Johnwolf, Countess Bailfang are seated in their seats. Their jaws dropped when they saw us. Dorothy is seated next to them. I know she will be here. She won’t be grieving for Pamela’s death. Why does she worry when she doesn’t have a heart?
” Victoria,” Dorothy muttered in anger.
” How did you come here? Mrs Dorothy told you both are in Hell. Someone needs to explain what’s going on in here.” Countness Bailfang shouted at us. She’s the first vampire in Slateville. She’s in a full black costume with a black leather jacket and boots.
” I can explain this. This is not my sister. She’s in hell.” Dorothy stuttered and lied something unbelievable.
” I don’t think so. Are you trying to fool us, Lady? They both are right in front of us,” Andrian Johnwolf questioned her.
” She’s fooling everyone with a silly lie. Let me explain everything,” I raised my voice and silenced everyone.
” Go on, your majesty,” Countness said with respect. I bowed to her and started.
” I was never been in Hell. Dorothy locked me up and lied about everything. The girl you heard about in the news is not an imposter. She’s my real daughter. Dorothy tried to kill her. A witch named Lydia saved my daughter and raised her. Sapphire is the true heir to this kingdom. Dorothy doesn’t have the royal power. She’s worshipping Lilith.” I explained a little which is necessary for this situation.
” This is…” Andrian’s speechless.
” Don’t trust her. I have the royal power.” Dorothy argued.
” Then prove it,” Countness challenged her, taking sides with me. Dorothy can’t do that. All she has is the dark powers.
” Fine. What are you gonna do if I don’t have the royal powers? Lilith is more powerful than you. I can do anything with her by my side. I can even bring Pamela back or I can kill and send you all to hell forever,” she daringly said with a smirk.
” It’s not easy to do that, darling. I am already dead and been to hell a lot of times,” Countness told Dorothy, showing her vampire’s teeth.
” Well, let’s see who wins?” Dorothy smiled and snapped her fingers. There’s a whole lot of black clouds and she vanished in a moment.
” Where does she go?” Andrian asked us. Everyone’s clueless. This time Countness might have killed her but where does she ran off. It won’t be the Academy. Then where?
” She’s worshipping Lilith. We can easily tell where she will be? She needs help and who’s gonna protect her?” Countness gave a clue.
” Hell.”
