Twenty-One

This was the spell Sir Edward had told us about back at the Academy, that nothing could break it.

I knew immediately that she was right in front of us, inches in front of me. I could’ve just pulled her back, but I was too late.

At least she would be safe while I went after the Saadedine.

My heart bled for her as she kept running toward me, thinking I’d died. She couldn’t find a way to me, confusion all over her face as she would just find Helmut standing in the middle again.

“It’s no use,” I said to Raymond as he kept throwing acid balls at the shield. Our abilities had come back the minute they stepped through the barrier. I could feel the magic of this spell getting more potent, drawing all power, separating us so we couldn’t fight the Saadedine together. And it trapped King Helmut inside with her because Goran knew they would send his twin to kill him. “It won’t break. It’s one of the strongest spells there is. She is at least safe.”

“You can’t kill the Saadedine by yourself.” Raymond grabbed my shirt.

“I have no choice. It was always my job. Hers was to get all of us in. Paul was right. Goran knew all along.”

“If that is true, we walked into a death trap!” Raymond yelled.

“No, he knew this day was going to come. He doesn’t have enough forces. Listen.” I cocked my head toward the wall. “They are fighting outside. He doesn’t have enough men, and the wyverns don’t stand a chance against the dragons. Once the Creepers are down, they will lose.”

Footsteps approached just as I decided to leave, to go find the Saadedine.

It was Emanuel.

It felt as if I could breathe again.

He was alive. King Caleb was right behind him with his guard. He would not like this one bit. And then my heart stopped as I looked at the fourth person running toward us. It was Helmut.

Fred, Jeff, Virgil, and Raymond wielded their abilities as I stayed standing on one spot.

Emanuel blocked his company from us.

“Goran filled the castle with enchantments; it is me,” Emanuel said. “It is me, Emanuel, your friend, not your enemy.”

“We know it’s you,” Raymond snapped at him. “What are you doing with him?”

Emanuel turned around and stared back at Helmut, then turned back to me.

“Where is Elena?” he asked as he stared at my frozen body. “Blake, I haven’t left Helmut’s side since the minute Elena brought us in. Where is the princess?”

I turned my head and looked at Elena. I’d found myself and wielded my pink kiss as an angry grunt left my mouth. I attacked the wall with everything I had.

How the fuck did Goran know?

Virgil and Raymond put two and two together really fast.

We were the idiots Goran had fooled. I should’ve trusted my instincts when I saw him on those stairs.

“Blake!” Emanuel yelled and came closer.

“We need to destroy this wall, or she is going to die,” I grunted and put my hands, engulfed in the pink kiss, on the wall.
