Chapter 28: Chapter 28

Marietta P.O.V

I was standing in the dark. I found these trees with dark shadows attracting me, inviting me. My heart was beating nor fast neither slow. It seemed normal but still, there was something abnormal.

I heard someone calling my name with a hypnotical voice. I turned around and saw an example of beauty in front of me. The light of the moon was casting a strange glow on her face. She was so beautiful. Her shining amber eyes developed a desire to look at them forever. She had a blood color roses crown on her head and was wearing a beautiful black gown that was touching the ground.

There was something in her eyes. Something that was attracting me. Something that made me look at them forever. Those eyes were saying me to do something for her...

Something for her owner.

"I only need one thing from you. Give it to me." She said. Her voice and eyes both were hypnotical.

"Sure, your Highness!" I replied. I would do anything for her.

She took my hands in hers and then said, "Sweetheart, repeat my words."

My ring was shining, it was a beautiful ring but right now it was illuminating. The green part was twinkling like the sun.

I nodded and she passed me a bright smile, "You can go wherever you want, I am breaking this spell and giving you the freedom to enter the Crystal World."

I repeated her words immediately. "You can go wherever you want, I am breaking this spell and giving you the freedom to enter the crystal world."

She smiled and patted my cheeks, "Good girl." With this, she disappeared.

My heart was feeling strange. I loved to do what she told me but a little part of me was kept on warning something was wrong. I sat near the tree and looked in the direction from where she had disappeared with blank expressions.

Peter P.O.V

"Where is Mike? I haven't seen him for so long." I asked Mona who was trying to make something new using her power Agrokinesis.

"I don't know." She replied while carefully took all the plants in the air. Then shaping them in........

"What are you trying to do?" I asked, looking at the messy tornado of plants in the air.

"I'm trying to make a monster." She chuckled.

"Plant monster?" I laughed. She glared at me and my laughter disappeared. It didn't mean I was scared. It was the respect that I gave her as an elder sister, well, just a few minutes. Yeah, we were twins and she was a few minutes older than me.

Suddenly, a shadow covered me. When I looked up it was.......

"Mona!!" I yelled.

"Don't even try to make fun of me. Plant monsters are super strong when I'm the maker." She said and started to laugh because the next moment, I was in the air opposite to ground. My head was dangling towards the ground and my legs were in the hand of that Plant monster.

"Put me down right now. Or else.." I yelled. Dear sister was trying to test my patience.

"Or else what?" She asked. Her smile and the shine in her eyes showed mischievousness. She was wearing a green gown, a leaf crown on her head with perfect makeup. She was, with no doubt, the most beautiful guardian of the whole town.

"Alright, is that so..." I smirked at my dear sister, and using my power, I burned that big plant monster, which converted into ashes in a second.

I groaned when I hit the ground. Her mouth went opened and she passed a hard glare at me. I knew what was next so, standing hurriedly I ran. I didn't want to get into more trouble besides I needed to meet Mike right now.

Where the hell was he?

Old Master wanted to meet Marietta and I needed him to go and get princess here. I was escaping the hallway in a hurry when I collapsed with someone and again hit the ground. I again groaned. Damn!

When I looked at the person beneath me, and when I praised by a familiar frown and angry face. I again groaned! Escaping from one angry bird I got hit with another.

"Olivia, can't you walk carefully?" I asked still on top of her. She was glaring in a way as if, she would kill me with her glares.

Looking at her killer glaring black eyes who somehow, looking so attractive. I bit my chuckle. Attractive and Olivia's glares, Mike would say a nice joke.

She pushed me aside and stood up. Pointing the sharp edge of her arrow on my face, she gritted angrily, "You are the one who stumbled on me."

I also stood up and glared at her while she glared back at me until Walter came and ended our glaring competition.

"We have a problem. Bats are attacking the town," Walter said.

"What?" I blurted.

Bats were blocked to enter our town with a spell. How could it be possible? They couldn't enter our town without any guardian permission and breaking the spell was an impossible thing. How did they even break the spell?

"Gather everyone, we need to go!" I ordered both of them.

Soon we were standing in the town. The scene there was not pleasant as huge-sized bats were attacking innocent people. There were bats and bats everywhere. People were running in fear from here to there. People of Guardian town were by the existence looked different but they are normal. Only the royal guardian and the royal family members had powers. It was our responsibility to protect them. And we failed to do fulfilled it. I clenched my fist tight with anger.

"Destroy all of them!" I ordered and they all nodded. We parted and I saw a bat trying to catch a little boy. I delivered a concussive fire force and that bat hit the ground. Then without giving him any chance for stability, I threw a fire blast on him and he burned in an instance.

I winced when a bat pinched his nails on my back, holding his sharp nails forcefully in me. He started dragging me but I manipulated fire and burned him. My back was badly injured but now we didn't have time for ourselves.

I looked at everyone. All of them were fighting strongly. Walter and Lilly were working together. Walter was manipulating water and Lilly was adding lighting to it, throwing electric water balls on them. Snow was freezing them than with the extra power force breaking them into pieces.

Mona was working with his newly discovered plant monster. Olivia was using her weapons, she was killing them with her arrow and a sharp-edged sword.

Bell came to me and asked, "Where is Mike?"

"I don't know. Can you control them?" I asked. She had the power to control animals. And because of Neogenesis, my wounds had already healed.

"No... I tried but they are already in someone's control." She replied still trying to control them. Someone was already controlling them.

Annabella!!! I looked around to find her but didn't succeed.

"I have another idea." Bell said and Hawks and Owls came and with the help of them, she attached on these bats which worked. Bats were the prey of Hawks and Owls. I smirked at her clever mind and got back to my work.

I burned a few more bats and soon they all finished. The town was cleared now, there pure silence prevailed in a way no one to be seen but only wind. We came nearer to each other and passed a few glances when we heard a wicked laugh.

"It's Annabella," I told them.

We looked around skeptically to find the source of the voice. When she appeared with bats, creating a full dramatic scene. As huge bats were enveloping her, and following her. She stopped at some distance. We posed for immediate action. While she smirked before saying, "Great! Look like you really have been practicing hard to control and fully operate your powers but...."

Walter threw freezing water arrows on her.

"Still losers." She added, flawlessly disappearing those water arrows. I clenched my fist tight. How did she enter our own? It was impossible. Did she break the spell? But how?

"What do you want?" Walter shouted angrily.

She laughed, "To rule on the whole Crystal world, of course."

Walter snapped, "In your dreams."

"Sweetheart, I always get what I want. Enough fun for now... See you soon." She emphasized 'see you soon', smirking one last time. She turned into vapors and along with her giant bats, disappeared.

The whole town fell silent again, everyone was afraid of the intro entry of vampires. Apart from terror, the whole town was a mess, food stalls, houses, and so everything was messed up.

"Let's help everyone clear this all." I ordered.

After helping the townspeople in arranging and clearing the mess which took almost our half day.

"We are going to meet Old Master." Walter said more like ordered to which we all nodded.

*******

"How did she unblock the spell?" Olivia asked.

"Only a royal heir can unblock the spell," Mona added.

"Have she found the royal heir?" Snow questioned.

"Is that Marietta?" Bell questioned.

"That means she knows everything?" Lilly added her question.

"But if she knew about our royal heir then why not she killed her first? Instead of attacking us!" Olivia asked.

"Now, she can enter our town anytime and this is not good," Mona said with worry dripping in her voice.

One by one they were asking questions except for me and Walter. I was confused and worried about Mike. Walter looked lost in his own thoughts. While Old Master was just listening to us.

Old Master looked at Walter, "What happened?"

"What was she trying to prove? She attacked us but didn't kill anyone. We just have a materialistic loss." Walter said.

"For the past twenty years, she was locked in her castle unaware of outer conditions," Master said in his fragile voice and we all looked at him.

Yes, because our last Queen, Queen Teresa, cast a spell on her before dying. That she couldn't come out of her castle for twenty years.

"She came here to tell you three things. One: now she can enter the guardian town anytime and that is disastrous. Two: she knows who is our real heir but she won't kill her till she gets the throne. Three: she came to threaten you that she is powerful than before and will rule the whole crystal world." Old Master explained. Because his power was Omniscience. The master of All-knowing power.

He was our master who trained us to use our powers and spells. He was our mentor. With long white hairs and a beard, he was an old man with wrinkles and laugh lines on his face but shining black eyes and a proud face.

"She can enter our town anytime which means she has unblocked the spell. But... How?" Bell asked. In response, Master just smiled, which meant we had to wait for the answer.

"My question is still the same. Why not?" Olivia said.

"Because it's compulsory to have a Queen to un-throne," Master said.

"But she never followed any rules. Why would she follow this one?" Mona asked.

"Because if she doesn't, she will lose her all powers and spells. She can't change the laws of our world." Master said.

"She must have some other plans." I said and added, "I'm quite worried now. Mike is missing for the past four days."

"Right. I searched in the whole town but doesn't found that joke. I came to tell you that when..." Olivia paused and looked at me. Oh my, was that shyness. I grinned when she glared at me and said, "When Walter came to inform me about the attack and I forgot to tell this."

No one seemed to notice this then why did I notice it?

Master smiled and looked at Walter then said, "Go and bring Marietta here...Now."
