~Chapter 47~
Joel
I struggled against my restraints, but only managed to cut deeper into my wrists. The irons were attached to the wall of ice and I wish there was a way to weaken it.
"It's no use." I muttered to Kadri.
She herself didn't look good.
"Why did she do this to you? After all, you're sisters…" I asked Kadri.
"An unfortunate family bond. It's because I chose the path of light I suppose. Maleficent has always been intimidated by those imbued with light, so she hopes to eliminate sources of it."
"But dark and light co-exist. How does your sister plan to eliminate the sources?"
"By doing what she has done to me by draining the light from each individual source." Kadri replied.
"Is that what she intends to do to Noella?" I asked nervously.
"I imagine so…" She replied.
"I have to get out of here…" I pressed struggling some more causing one of my wrists to start bleeding. I tried sliding my hand out, but it wasn't enough. Nearby, footsteps came down to this prison and I saw two brown leather boots that belonged to none other than Eugene who was carrying an unconscious woman in his arms.
"J-Joel?" He stammered as he saw me.
However, someone hit him from behind and both of them fell to the floor unconscious. Struck by none other than my brother.
"Kaleb!" I growled.
"It's fun being you brother…" Kaleb sneered, "Though what you see in that woman, I'll never know. We won't be troubled by her for much longer. Our mistress will make work of her shortly."
"Your mistress." I snapped.
I immediately began calling Noella's name frantically pulling against my restraints. Kaleb walked right over and slugged me to shut me up. I spat out blood on the icy ground.
"Silence traitor." Kaleb grumbled. "She can't hear you down here anyway, so don't waste your breath."
Kaleb smirked as he walked over to Eugene and the woman and picked them each up and carried them down a nearby hall and out of sight. A few minutes later, he returned alone and without a word, punched me again and my world went black.
AN: So much for brotherhood...both huntsman, but each have chosen a side...stay tuned ;D
