Chapter 11: Mind control
"Look who we fond", Karst's voice echoed through the forest, what made Sheba shiver.
"Leave us alone!", jelled Piers at them.
"Sure, we wouldn't hurt you", smiled Agatio sarcastic.
Piers heard the sound of a sword slammed to the ground, and a small animal shrieked, "What's going on!", he jelled, "Why can't I see? What is this!?", he heard Sheba silent cry in his chest, he stroke with his hand through her hair, "It's gonna be alright", he whispered to her, "I won't let them hurt you".
Menardi smiled a twisted smile when she heard this, "We won't hurt her you say?"
Saturos walked a few steps towards Piers and Sheba and also smiled an evil smile, "That's true", he said, "We won't hurt her".
Piers looked up, he noticed that he could see again, he turned his head to the fire adepts, he looked at them with fury in his eyes, "What did you say?"
Menardi smiled at him, "Didn't you hear us? We won't hurt your little friend, that's what you want right?"
Piers looked distrusted at her, why wouldn't they kill Sheba anymore? Something sounded not right, he looked back at Sheba, it appeared that she hasn't returned her vision, she had her eyes closed and trembled with fear, suddenly Piers felt that he also could move again, "This is my chance", he thought, "I'll pick up Sheba and run away".
He looked at Saturos, it seemed as he could read Piers mind, he smiled, "You won't".
Piers stood up, "We'll see about that!"
"Don't worry Piers", smiled Menardi, "We'll let you both go".
"Menardi?", Karst looked confused at her sister, "What are you doing? We can't let them go".
Menardi looked at Karst, "I didn't said where they are going, they are going to face the death".
"No!", Piers looked angry at Menardi, "You said that you wouldn't hurt Sheba".
"True", explained Menardi, "We are not the ones that are gonna hurt her", her eyes glowed with evil, "Somebody else will do that".
Piers didn't say anything he only stared at the fire adepts, ready to cast a Glacier.
Agatio looked confused at Saturos and Menardi, "Who are gonna kill her if we don't do that? I don't get it".
Saturos smiled an evil twisted smile, "Piers himself will do that".
Piers looked shocked at Saturos and then he began to laugh, "Sure, ofcouse! Do you really think that I will kill Sheba!?", he kneeled down by Sheba and holds her in his arms, "Don't worry Sheba, nothing is gonna happen".
"Piers I'm scared", cried Sheba.
"I know", Piers stroke with his hand through Sheba's hair, "But I'll protect you, I swear I will", he kissed Sheba on her forehead, "I love you".
Sheba smiled a weak smile, "I love you too Piers".
"How sweet", laughed Menardi, "But you will kill her now".
Piers stood up, "I'm getting sick of this nonsense! I love her! I would never do anything to harm her!"
Suddenly Saturos began to glow in a dark light, the area around them increased even more in darkness, Menardi did the same thing, a chain of dark energy surrounded Piers, he began to scream as he felt the darkness coming inside him.
"Piers!!!", screamed Sheba, "What's going on!?", suddenly she felt that she could see again, she opened her eyes and saw Piers standing surrounded by chains of dark energy, he spread his eyes wide open and fell on the ground.
"Piers!", Sheba wanted to run towards him, but she felt that she still couldn`t move, "Piers! Please be okay!"
The darkness around Piers sapped inside him, and slowly disappeared.
Sheba looked stunned at Piers.
Saturos and Menardi smiled, "It's done", said Saturos evilly, Agatio and Karst looked confused at Piers, he laid on the ground and didn't move.
"Now Piers!", jelled Menardi, "Destroy the girl!"
Piers stood slowly up, an evil smile on his face.
"Piers?", asked Sheba, "What's wrong with you?", his eyes were blank they showed no emotion, he had dark rings around his eyes, and a twisted evil smile crossed his face, he walked slowly towards Sheba, while raising his sword.
"No Piers!", jelled Sheba, "Please no!"
"It's no use", laughed Menardi, "He will kill you, how do you like our mind control?"
Sheba stared with disgust at Menardi, "This can't be!"
"Oh yes it can", said Saturos, "Now your friend is under our control".
Sheba shook her head and stared with disbelieve at Piers, "Piers! It's me! Sheba!".
Piers didn't pay attention to Sheba and kept on walking towards her, while casting a Glacier, Sheba got blasted away in the ice attack, "PIERS!!!", jelled Sheba, "You don't know what your doing!!!", Sheba felt suddenly that she could move again, quickly she stood up, running toward Piers.
"Piers! It's me! Sheba!", she clamped herself on Piers and kissed him, "Please snap out of it Piers!"
But Piers slammed her back on the ground with an hard blow, with his evil smile he gazed at Sheba, Sheba felt tears burning in her eyes, "Piers I love you, please don't do this!"
"He's under our control", smiled Menardi, "Accept it: You're gonna die!"
Sheba gazed at the ground while tears streamed down on her face, "You may control his mind, but.....you can't control his heart!", she looked up at Piers, "Piers I know your in there! Come back!"
But Piers didn't react, he stiked Sheba with his sword, Sheba slammed hard against a tree. Sheba gazed with tears in her eyes at Piers, then she looked at her bleeding body, "I ....know..that...you're in....there Piers", she softly cried, "I....love you".
Piers continued to use his ice attacks on Sheba.
"Why won't you fight back?", asked Agatio, looking at the bleeding girl who was hardly alive.
"I....know..that....Piers....will never...do anything....to harm me", whispered Sheba, she laid under a tree and closed her eyes, "This....is not...the real...Piers, but...I.. love him", after she said those words she fell in unconscious.
Piers walked toward Sheba, he raised his sword ready to strike the final blow, but then something hit him, "I can't do this!", the thoughts went fast through his mind, "I can't kill the woman I love,......Sheba".
Piers let his sword drop on the ground and fell on his knees, "Sheba".
"Saturos! Were losing control of him!", jelled Menardi, "How?!"
"It seems that love is stronger than our mind control", Saturos cursed something, "I hate love".
"Come on! Give it more power!", jelled Karst.
"Right", said Menardi.
The darkness around Piers increased, his eyes spread wide open, "NO!", he thought, "I have to fight this, but it's so powerful, I can't stand a change against this power", The dark chains wrapped around him, pushing him to take his sword back of the ground.
Slowly he walked towards Sheba, his sword raised, his eyes blank with no emotion.
