Chapter 10

The Prison

Kendrick dodged the fireball that shot towards him, grabbed Neala and pinned her arms to her sides. He then dragged her to the other side of the mountaintop, Neala could feel his heart beating against her cheek as he ran. He then ran down the mountain in the opposite way they came up, stones meeting their every step. Once they hit the ground, he let go of her body and grabbed her hand, running off in the direction of the Peaks gate.

 “We have to get out of here, Gemma is behind us, don’t worry she has your pack. Just run, try to keep your hands closed. We will figure this out, it’ll be ok.” His father said, trying to convince himself as much as anyone.

 She was silent and just focused on gaining ground and keeping her palms tucked in. She heard something behind her, thinking it was Gemma she turned and was face to face with a large stone. Tyee was running toward them with many other warriors in tow. He hurled another at her, but this time she stuck her hand out to protect her face. A stream of fire shot out again and dropped the boulder. The men ducked to the ground, dodging the fire. The grass catching on fire as they ran.

 “I have got your back Nia.” An unfamiliar voice purred into her ear. She turned again to find Gemma on their flank. Hope flitted in her mind.

 “Papa it's Gemma, I can hear her! Papa stop I am Terra; they have to believe me.” She said, ripping her hand out of his. She turned to him and pleaded.

 “You don’t understand they will only see Pyre. Nia, it doesn’t matter why, you are mixed blood, that is punishable by death. Now run, take Gemma and run! Your Uncle will open the gate for you and have a horse ready.” He said and then turned to face his own son and warriors.

 Neala didn’t argue again as she saw spears hurtling towards her. Gemma ran at her flank and ran off towards anyone that came close. She could see the tunnel now as her lungs were burning. She gasped for air and stumbled on the ground. Turning she could see her father on the defense trying to block any strikes from reaching her. He wasn’t hurting anyone but protecting her.

 She used a moment get back to her feet and take off again, and just as she was almost at the entrance; she felt a violent gust of wind pull her back down. She hit the ground hard, pain searing the side of her head. Her vision blurry, she tried again to get up, but the wind pulled again. She could see more warriors gaining ground now, and Gemma retreated to her. Neala reached up again and shot fire from her hand at the wind holding her down. The fire intertwined with the wind tunnel, and it lit up the sky.

 Deanna was hovering above her, her eyes wild and fixated on Neala.
