Kat limped down the hall wondering if she was going to make it back in time. She heard the guards behind her she sat still and started to cast a spell and just finished as the guards walked from around the corner.

"I thought I saw here go down this hall" the guard in front said

"Maybe it was all just a figment of your STUPIDITY!" another snapped back

"She's a clever little witch, maybe it was one of her shadows." one in the back said

"I doubt that she is too weakened to use that much magick right now." said the captain walking though the group. Kat was relieved that her invisibility spell had worked, gathering what a little bit of her remaining magick she started floating towards the captain.

"They all know what you did." She whispered in his ears.

Hs blood ran cold as she saw his mistress come out of the wall, her black silk dress clung to her body where the blood dried. He turned around only to find himself in a swamp where he had buried all the women he has ever killed. It was completely silent and he wasn't alone, from the murky water all the women he had ever murdered appeared

"We've come to collect our debt." they all said

He ran screaming from his squad leaving them wondering what was wrong with him. Kat was ecstatic when the other guards left to see what was wrong with him. ~Too bad they will die going that way~ she thought as she floated to the ground. She then heard the guards screaming and then a gunshot followed by nothing.

She wished she wouldn't have to use her magick that way but they left her no choice, it was either them or her and she didn't want to be forced back into a life where she was completely stripped of her will with a "control ring", she had almost completely drained her magick freeing herself. She walked into a empty room and using the all the magick she had left she shielded the room and collapsed on the bed.

Meanwhile.......

In the throne room Queen Zero was screaming at her shape shifter Eric who was in the form of the chicken.

"What kind of useless form is that"

Eric replied "Ba-Caw"

"Get out of that useless form, She's escaping." "No she's not." answered a voice from the shadows.

Queen Zero's eyes burned a bright red eyeing the shadows

"Show yourself"

From the shadows out walked a person who's face was covered by the shadow of the hood of his black robe.

"She's hiding"

"Why"

Suddenly a crispy piece of chicken appeared on the floor.

"Why do you think?!" replied Eric in his human form

"You used her, stripped her of her will, made everyone thinks she is some evil demon."

"It's not my fault she put on the ring thinking it would help her channel her power better"

"And who told her that little lie"

The stranger walked away

"I've my own plans to attend to I'll be watching" with that he laughed while fading away.
