chapter 102

A few months later

“I cannot thank you enough for the kindness you have shown me and my father. I wonder why the royal family would place you in such a place you are harmless”

“They feared I would take away the kingdom because my powers match theirs very closely so they isolated me in this place when I was barely two hundred and ninety-eight” Meredith has been nothing but a dear, nothing like what Xavier told me about her, it makes me question what other things he was lying to me about.

“My child, you cannot stay here forever, you had two chances to leave Xavier”

“And I didn’t, now I must face him and defeat because fate is always going bring us together and it is only going to end up with me getting hurt, I know but you haven’t exactly told me what I am going to do to defeat Xavier” some books came floating towards me, she needs to stop doing that, her magic was kind of creepy and she always used it to tease me. She tugged at one of my pigtails with it and I glared at her, her appearance looked the part of snow white’s evil stepmother but she was a peach.

“Do you know what this is?”

“The golden dagger of Camari, yes I do and I know where it is but no one would let me in with Xavier’s aura on me”

“That is why I am a fairy godmother” she handed me a glowing white ball “this is a pixie light this will hide Xavier’s scent on you and he won’t be able to find you as long as the pieces stay together”

“Meaning?”

“It mustn’t break, or he will find you when you get the dagger report here immediately and we will prepare a plan”

“Okay”

“Wait you have to pack and you have to be ready for everything, I don’t have human money” the safe my father was talking about when he initially told me to run away.

“Daddy”

“Yes dear” he whispered, he was still sick but he was getting better

“What is the code for the safe in the house, where are the grocery store keys and where is your car key”

“Check my wardrobe for extra grocery key and the spare car keys are in the safe, the safe combination is B-L-4-I-R-3” how am I supposed to remember that “your mother’s name but numbers for the A and E, be careful, baby”

“Yes daddy” I wrapped the pixie light in clothing to protect it from the harsher objects in my satchel, there was a dagger and I was not really sure how I was going to sneak it through custom.

“You won’t have any problem getting there your only problem is that you have to make sure not to break that pixie light”

“How do I go out of here”

“You have to go down to hell”

“Uh” I gestured around

“The real hell it is very simple, this mirror goes all the way down to hell, the farther you go the hotter it gets and the more you want to stay, so try not to stray from your path it is straight forward. cover the pixie light properly and it will do nothing to your scent so you have an advantage you have his name written on your body and you are wearing his scent so good luck” she pushed me into the mirror.

“Wait” she shut the portal, so she was sure I was gone before she opened it.

It was hot in here like really hot, I heard an ominous sound of chains rattling,

“WINTER” again with that whispering “winter, help me out” the person sounded like, me I looked around for the person calling my name. don’t stray from your path. I recalled Meredith’s warning, I stared onward.

“Winter, you ignore your own mother” mother? I looked around

“Where are you?” I asked as I turned around, there were sounds of screaming around me and the place was getting hotter and redder the screams were getting louder but my mother’s voice kept calling me to her.

“Just turn right” I closed my eyes, she started screaming

“Winter please, please, AHHH” my eyes squeezed tighter and my hand squeezed beside me I held unto the handle of my satchel and started walking faster.

I was sweating like crazy, just at the moment I looked at my side and saw a demon beating someone with chains, CHAINS FOR GOD SAKE.

The demon looked at me, it was hideous not like Xavier at all. He had horns and some black mask stuff on his face. I jumped back when he grunted at me. Soon enough I saw an entrance there were two huge creatures, my steps began to slow.

“Uh hello, I wanna go through”

“Who are you?” they asked, who am I? the person that is going to stab you to death if you do not let me through

“I am Winter Cameron the future queen of hell so let me through”

“You won’t be dressed like that if you were a princess” these guys reminded me of my best friends, they talked at the same time.

“Uh, well I was doing an experiment... just let me through"

"I guess since no one is chasing after her we should just let her through" no one was chasing after me, I was thinking that Xavier would have told everyone one to keep an eye out for me but he didn't which made me upset.

"You may go through"

“Where does it take me”

“Anywhere you wish” I walked through, I found myself in my childhood home, the backyard to be precise.

“Where did you come from” I turned around and saw a guy standing there with his hands outstretched

“You live here?”

“You didn’t answer my question”

“I have a knife” I deadpanned

“Yes I live here” I breathed out

“I am not here to invade anyone’s property, I am not here to steal I am just here to take what is rightfully mine” he cocked his head to the side and raised his brows

“Which is”

“The thing in the safe” His mouth formed a circle form, at least he forgot about asking me where I came from

“Follow me...” he dragged on and stared at me with amusement in his face.

“Winter,” I said completing his sentence eying him a little

“Winter”
