Chapter 5

The manor - 04.42 am
##"Wyatt help me!" a voice shouted. Looking around he couldn't see where it came from. "Please help me!" The same voice again and he started to recognize from who it was. "Bianca?" He slowly walked further. Listening carefully where the sound came from. "Wyatt pleas I need you!" He started to run towards the voice. "Bianca I'm coming!" When he reached the spot he had to stop before he would fall down of the edge he was standing on now. He looked up he saw Bianca standing across from him and there was no bridge in sight.

"Hang on sweetie I'll be there in a sec." He tried to orb but it was no success. "Or not." He mumbled. "Wyatt hurry he's coming." Bianca started to panic. "No, no go away." Wyatt saw Alexus appear out of nowhere. "To bad you couldn't safe your girlfriend." Alexus grabbed Bianca at her hair. "Leave her alone you SOB!" He yelled but Alexus didn't listen. He conjured a sword, waving it at Wyatt. "Say goodbye to your little phoenix witch." Holding Bianca in front of him he ran his sword through her.

"NO!!" Wyatt saw the pain in her eyes and when Alexus pulled back the sword he pushed her of the edge. "NOOOOoooo…"##

Wyatt woke up bathing in sweat. He sat up wiping his forehead off and sighed deeply. "I have to find her." He fell back on his bed and closed his eyes. Hoping that he wouldn't dream this night.


The underworld - 09.54 am
"Bianca wake up." Charlotte whispered shaking Bianca carefully to wake her. "We have to be alert now. Come on Bianca." Bianca moaned softly opening her eyes. "Is it morning?" Charlotte looked at her watch. "Well it says so here." Showing Bianca the time.

"Oh didn't know I could sleep here." Bianca sat up and stretched her arms. "So what do we do now? Wait until they come for us?"

"I don't know Bianca. There's not much time left so they have to hurry." Charlotte stood up she started to get a bit stiff. Walking up and down the cage a few times she sat down again. "If they don't come here in time you'll have to safe yourself Bianca and don't worry about me."

Bianca looked up. "Charlotte what's going to happen? You shouldn't talk like that. We're leaving this place together."

Alexus came in before Charlotte could answer. "So I hope you had enough quality time with each other because we have to start the ritual." He waved his hand and the cage disappeared. "Don't try anything funny because if you try and get out you'll get vaporised. There's a barrier around this room. The cage is only protection for us."

Alexus shouted something in a strange language and four demons came running in. They grabbed Bianca and Charlotte and guided them out of the room. Alexus followed them with a big evil smile on his face.

"Where is he taking us?" Bianca whispered to Charlotte. "No talking." One of the demons said who was holding Bianca. "I don't know." Charlotte answered disregarding the demon's comment about no talking. "What he says to her counts for you too. No talking." One of the demons said and his grip on her arm got tighter. "Hey you're hurting me. My arm doesn't have to come of you know." The demon looked at her and as a response he tightened his grip even more.

They entered a big room. Charlotte looked around. There was an altar and in front there was a pole sticking out of the floor. When they came closer Charlotte could see the mystic carvings covering the thing. 'okay that doesn't look good'

Bianca had seen it too and they exchanged looks. The demons dropped them next to the altar. Alexus walked towards them. "Take the phoenix and strap her to the pole. I have some issues to solve with my daughter." He ran a finger across Charlottes face and she looked away. He grabbed her face so she had to look at him. "Now I tell you this only once give me the spell and I let you go."

Charlotte groaned. "Let me go. I won't give you the spell, I rather die." She saw that Alexus wasn't pleased with her answer and he threw her away. She had pissed him off. She hit the wall and fell to the ground.

"Wrong answer my love, if you won't give it freely I'll have to get it by force." He walked up to her. Trying to get up she already felt him grabbing at her hair. He lifted her up by it looking at her he shook his head. "To bad I have to hurt you." "Don't be, I won't." She scratched his face so he would let her go. He back handed her immediately and she fell back against the wall. She tasted blood in her mouth. Her lip started to bleed.

"Is that all?" She taunted him. "You better give it up 'dad' I'll never give you the spell." She tried to conjure an energy ball but it didn't work. "No magic for you my dear. Temporary barrier." He saw her confusion and he smiled. "You'll have to use your bare hands to defend yourself." He laughed.

"Fine I can do that too." She mumbled to herself. She looked over at Bianca who was trying to get the straps loose. Looking back she didn't see her father anymore. She walked slowly towards Bianca when she suddenly got grabbed from behind. "Don't let your defence down sweet pee. You're making this to easy for me." He whispered in her ear. He turned her around and she tried to hit him with her fist but he stopped it mid air.

He tightened his grip on her fist with his own hands. Charlotte cried it out in pain he forced her down on her knees. "Now tell me where the spell is and I let go."

"NO! Go to hell you sick bastard." She cried it out again as he tightened his grip even more. She could feel the bones in her hand almost break. "Let her go!" Bianca started to yell. Trying even harder to get free.

Alexus threw Charlotte away against the altar. Charlotte looked at her hand. He didn't break it, slowly moving her fingers to see if they still worked. "I can do this for a long time Charlotte just cooperate with me." She shook her head. "Fine." He walked up to her bending over to whisper to her "I hope you enjoy pain." And he grabbed her again.
