Chapter 10 – Truth of Evil
Riliane wakes up in a prison cell like cage. Her head hurts and she rubs it quietly. She looks out of the cage and sees a window next to the cage. She was in a locked cage in a locked room with only sunlight providing the ability to see. By the way the sunlight gleams she can tell it is morning.
What am I doing here?
Riliane asks herself in her mind. She remembers meeting the two people and being grabbed then... nothing. As she began to pick herself up the doors opened. A figure came through the doors. Riliane ran to the door of the cage.
"Can you―" Riliane begins to ask.
The figure opens up the door of the cage and backs away from it. Riliane backs away from the exit as well. The figure's face unrecognizable by a mask but Riliane stares at it, getting a serious aurora from the masked person. Riliane takes a few steps towards the exit and walks out of it before the person had any second thoughts.
The masked person looked at Riliane and said, "Follow me."
Riliane follows his orders. The masked person leads her out the doors and through the hallways. The hallways are so spacious. They are white, at the top and bottom is a red line giving the wall some character. Riliane has seen and hall so lovely since she was the Daughter of Evil. Though she had seen halls with more character than this one she acted as if she hadn't been in such a nice place before. She surprises the masked figure this way for he had known something she didn't. They stop at red doors.
The masked person opens them and says, "She is here."
He gestures Riliane to go inside. Once Riliane does he closes the door and runs. Riliane can hear his shoes, running fast as if trying to get away from an evil so close. Riliane stares at the doors.
"Come sit." said a familiar voice.
Riliane sits on the coach which was also red. The walls were white. Everything in this room was white, black or red. There were two people sitting on the coach. One was shorter than the other. The taller person gets up and gets a tray of food sitting on a table in the corner of the room. The person puts it on the coffee table. Riliane only stares at it.
What do they want from me? Riliane asks herself.
"Have some." said the smaller person.
Riliane gets herself a slice of cake passing the other snacks. She doesn't get any tea or coffee due to the fear that it might be poisoned. She picks up a fork and begins eating the cake. She doesn't feel bad so it must not be poisoned, she continues eating.
"Is it good?" the shorter person asks.
"What business do you have with me?" Riliane automatically asks.
She sets her cake down on the coffee table and looks straight at them.
"We just want to talk, that's all." the shorter person answers.
"If you wanted to talk you could have came into my shop and talked, Luke." By adding his name she blows his cover.
"I thought you would have forgotten my name." Luke answers.
That's all he's worried about? Riliane adds this to the pile of questions in her head.
He removes his hood and so does the taller one.
Michaela! Riliane has the same reaction she did when she first saw Bailey.
Looking so much like Michaela, bringing back so many bad memories. Luckily Bailey's blue that almost looks black and blue eyes separates her from Michaela's teal eyes and hair.
"What do you wish to know?" Riliane asks.
"It must be terrible." Luke mutters. "What?" Luke grins.
"Doesn't Bailey look so much like the girl who you had the country of green destroyed over?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You should know, Daughter of Evil." Bailey says.
Bailey walks up to Riliane.
"You killed me." Bailey says in Michaela's voice.
Riliane is frozen from shock. She manages to get some control over herself.
"Daughter of Evil? I am sorry you must have the wrong person. Michaela? Do mean Clarith's friend that the queen killed? It is quite a tragedy having the same name as the queen but now I am being accused of being such a being!" Riliane's words do not hurt her.
She knows her past self was terrible but she is no longer the Daughter of Evil and will continue to deny it. Luke looks at Bailey and nods.
Clap! Clap!
Luke claps his hands and the doors fling open. Riliane stands but knocking over her cake. She runs across the room but the people whom had brought her here were chasing here. With nowhere to run Riliane is cornered. She doesn't wish to be drugged up again and willingly goes with them.
As she passes Luke he says, "When you are ready to reveal yourself I shall be waiting."
They guide Riliane back to her cage and the voices begin to invade Luke's mind once again.
"This is terrible!" Michaela slams her hands on the table.
"Calm down." Joseph asks.
"I have to tell Allen!" Michaela says.
She had just heard the news. Riliane had been captured by Luke and Bailey. Michaela is more worried than ever because she had heard that the devil lived inside Luke's mind. Michaela leaves the table and rushes to the prison Allen is suffering in. Michael's hand stops her.
"Michael what are you doing? I must tell Allen of the tragic news!"
Michael looks at her with such eyes of despair.
"What?"
"Michaela I am very sure of myself that you are the last person Allen would ever need or want to see. I will bring this news to him."
Michaela looks guilty; seeing her face would most likely drive him insane.
"Alright you may." Michaela tells her brother.
She watches him walk into the clouds disappearing.
Michael entered the dark room. Allen sat there staring at the red handcuffs around his wrist and the blue chains on his ankles. As he moved to look at Michael the chains made a noise that echoed through the dark room.
"And what news must you bring to me today?" Allen asks.
Michael grits his teeth scared of Allen's reaction. "Riliane has been kidnapped."
Allen reminds calm and doesn't lose his temper for they are being watched.
"By who?" Allen asks.
"Luke."
"Is that the spy whom carries the devil's voice with him?"
"Yes."
"What will happen to the spy of the devil takes over?"
"I know the devil very well; when it takes over it will also take over his mission of finding the Daughter of Evil. It will go to any extend to get Riliane to admit she was once the hated Daughter of Evil."
"How far would this devil go?"
"It would even kill Riliane."
"What would happen if all evidence that Riliane was Daughter of Evil disappeared?"
"Uh." Michael wondered what went on in Allen's brain.
"Michael."
"Yes."
"If the devil takes over erase it."
"Erase what?"
"Riliane's memory." Allen answered.
Michaela sits back down with Joseph waiting for her brother to return.
"Calm down." Joseph tells Michaela.
He adds another sugar to her coffee.
"How can I? The devil will take over that spy! How can I?" Michaela's tone lower after her last few words.
The clouds moved aside signaling someone was here that was unwelcome. Michaela got up from the table. She was alert and ready if the devil were to appear. Through the clouds Michaela saw a female with a hooded green cloak on and a mask.
"Gumillia!" Michaela shouted.
She recognized that green hair anywhere. It was Gumillia's green hair.
"Who?"
That word alone froze Michaela in female stood straight across from Michaela.
"I am the Master of the Hellish Yard and I have been given orders by the blue devil to deliver a warning to the heavens."
"What would that be?" Joseph stood up from the table.
"If you dare interfere with the blue devil's plans not only will Riliane be killed but..." The Master of The Hellish Yard removed her mask.
Michaela gasps knowing who it was.
The Master of the Hellish Yard continues, "...you will become the blue devil's slave like your friend Gumillia."
"Gumillia is the blue devil's slave. Gumillia is..." Michaela can't finish her sentence.
Joseph finishes her sentence for her. "...the Master of the Hellish Yard."
Next week I will be going on vacation and will be unable to upload the next chapter.
