Kathrine snapped out of her imagination and blinked her eyes as she saw Eddy still pointing the knife at her with his red eyes
He smirked and raised the knife to stabbed her chest but suddenly a flamy ball came from nowhere and hit Eddy pushing him away from her making him to lose his grip on the knife
It fell to the ground but strangely the knife lift from the ground and swiftly went to him, it was about stabbing him but Xena quickly used her magic on it turning it to ashes
Kathrine opened her eyes slowly and sighed seeing she is still breathing
“I’m still alive” She said
“What happened? what was that?” Eddy asked
“A supernatural is here, show yourself!” She yelled
“Looking for me right” A female voice said and become visible
Soha smirked from where she was and speedily walked to them
” Who are you? ” Xena asked
“I know you are a demon, is it necessary to know who am I ” She replied
” How dare you interfere in what doesn’t concern you? ” Eddy asked glaring
” You have been found, that’s great, you are lucky you ain’t dead” Soha said
” I will teach you a lesson brat ” Xena said and conducted electric bolts in her hands and threw it at her
Soha quickly ducked out of harm way
“Is that all you got?” She asked
She widened her eyes and lights came out of it hitting Xena
The attack made her to fell to the ground, Soha raised her up and slammed her at the wall
“Arrgh!!” Xena screamed
Soha made to attack again but Xena quickly teleported to her and punch her, using that opportunity she grabbed Eddy and teleported out of the place
“You are lucky” Soha said wiping her mouth
Kathrine kept shivering as she watched the two strange women fights
“Hey are you okay?” Soha asked and Kathrine nodded
“You don’t talk?”
“I am… fine” She stammered
“I won’t hurt you, I came for you, feel free with me, let’s go” She said with a smile
” Okay” Kathrine said and lead the way
DEMON KINGDOM**
The news of the Golden staff having a owner now is available to the demons
Boris eyes are red in rage, the other demons are with her
” Where is that stupid Elizabeth of a girl?” Boris growled
” She needs to die, there’s no need keeping her, she couldn’t keep to her part of the deal” Ovartz said
” Ahhhhhhh” Boris screamed angrily
A presence interrupted them and all attention turn towards Elizabeth
She walked there with her face roughed up, res eyes and a rough hair
“Oh! She is here” Elezelda said standing
“You failed in your mission, I asked you to poison him why is he still alive, now he has discovered himself?” Elezelda asked
” I tried my best, I poisoned his drink bit another person ended up drinking it, he is smart, you can’t expect the prince to be a slow witted person, I need the antidote” Elizabeth replied
Ovartz gave out a mockery laughter
” You’re incompetent you useless supernatural, who told you the poison has an antidote and do you think you will be given it when you have failed in your mission, if the person die it’s none of our business, beside the death of the students is what we want” Ovartz said
” If you’re competent why don’t you go to the academy and ki|| him, why don’t you go there and get the golden staff, I never wanted this in the first place, I was forces in this, not like I signed this wholeheartedly” She yelled in tears
” Then you won’t be doing it again” Boris said with a blank look on her devilsh face
“What do you mean?” Elizabeth asked
Boris snapped her fingers and Elizabeth’s family appeared looking weak, haggard and unkempt
“What are you trying to do?” She asked scaringly
“What do you think I will do?, remember the contract you signed” Boris said
“No, no, please, I tried my best, it wasn’t easy as you think my princess, spare them, ki|| me instead” She went on her knees
Boris gave her an emotinless stare
“Ovartz ki|| them” She ordered, Ovartz smirked removing his sword
“Elizabeth!” Her father called in tears
“Father!”
“Daughter” Her mother cried out
“Big sister, Muffin” Her little brother cried out too in his small voice
“No!!!” She shouted and stood up charging at Ovartz to stop him but a wave of hand of Boris sent her crashing to the ground
She made to move her body but it became stiff
“My daughter”
“Father”
Elizabeth watched as Ovartz stabbed her father in the chest, the sword coming out from the back
“No, father, father” She cried helplessly
The same thing happened to her mother
They died immediately, Ovartz moved to her little brother and Elizabeth closed her eyes
“Muffin, save me please, father, mother wake up” He cried shaking his dead parents
Ovartz raised the sword and beheaded him, his head rolling on the ground
Elizabeth opened her eyes and saw her little brother head on the ground
Her lips started quivering, she lost her family in a day in the most brutal way ever
Hot tears escaped her eyes as she watched them laying in their pool of blood
“Finish her” Boris ordered
“Yes my princess” Ovartz said and walked to her
He stood before her and smiled wickedly
“I never like you, time to see you dead” He said
“The demons are the most cruelest and cunning creatures ever” She yelled
“That’s the punishment for not keeping to your promise, ki|| her” Boris replied
Ovartz raised the sword above to behead her but her powers started coming back, with anger in her, she used the powers she hasn’t used in her life, her anger awakened her hidden power
Elizabeth charges up a huge electric sphere in her hands and blast the entire place with it, the attack ki||ed many demons and disfigured Ovartz face, it affected the high rankin demons injuring them badly
“Ahh” He screamed painfully
Elizabeth wasted no time, she teleported out
****
She appeared back to her room, Dreams sickness made everyone not to noticed her absence
Tears couldn’t stop coming out
“I deserve to die, because of me my family died, the innocent guy is fighting for his life, I am a curse, I am useless”
She sat on the cold floor as she regretted the life she is living
Now what is she living for, her family is gone and she couldn’t saved them
Elizabeth stood up and walked inside the washroom
****
She opened the door to the treatment room and entered, her sadness increased as she saw Dreams laying lifeless on the bed
She squatted beside him and held his hand
” I am sorry” She said looking at his pale- patched lips
She stood up and left the room
NEXT DAY**
Jessica spranged up on her bed almost falling
“Dreams” She screamed and rushed out of her room
She came out like a pyscho who has escaped the psychiatric hospital
“Dreams” She called as she ran to the treatment room
Genova quickly held her
“Let me go, I want to see him, he is not dead right?” She said in tears
Seth and Ashley arrived there with the other students
“I feel bad for her” Scarlett said
“I never knew she like him this way, she was always cold to him” Jisoo said
Genova kept holding her till she calm down
“I want to see him” She cried
“The only way to save him is by going into the forest of death to bring the antidote, but the chances of surviving is rare” Seth said
” I will go” Jessica said
Elizabeth couldn’t bring herself to go there, she can’t chose his life over him
” I am sorry Dreams” She said in her mind
Seth stared at Jessica
” I will go, I know I will go and come back safely” Jessica said
“Let me go master” Jessica said
“Jessica, you can go, but don’t get injure either by yourself or anyone or you will bled to death” He said
” Understood master”
” You can leave right away, there’s no time, the antidote is in a white bottle on a green tree ” Seth said
Jessica nodded and walked to the treatment room
She sat beside him and smiled sadly
” I will save you, I will be back my pervert friend” She said and walked out
She met the rest outside, giving her a pitiful look
“Thank you for risking your life for him” Gold said
“I believe you will come back, take this sword, once you waved it ,it will send any demon away from you” Ashley said and gave her the sword and then left
“Safe journey” Terri said
“I believe in you” Avril said
The girls group hug her
“I will leave now” Jessica said and started walking out of the academy
The senior and junior students watched as she leaves
?I know she will come back

“Jessica” Elizabeth called and she turn

” Sure” She smiled
