Chapter Forty
Esmerelda continued to fight the robes that were binding her arms down, knowing she had to escape before she ended up being killed, Lily though was not finished yet and walked over to the other end of her room and opened up a drawer on her dresser, pulling out a handheld mirror, identical to the one Esmerelda had got given by her for her birthday.
"I didn't know you had one too" Esmerelda said hoping if she kept the girl talking she would get to distracted to do anything else to her.
"I don't it yours, I stole it from your bedroom" Lily said casually as if she was telling her she had decided to use her bat eyes in potions and not steal one of her possessions.
"HEY GIVE IT BACK" Esmerelda replied, feeling her arms burn as the ropes tugged on her.
"I am just borrowing it Hallow, geez some people don't know how to share" Lily said as she turned towards the mirror and held up a card to it, Esmie could not see what it said and could not see the girl muttering a spell under her breathe as she looked at the mirror in her hands.
"Lily, this joke isn't funny anymore, just let me go right now!" Esmerelda shouted, tugging more on the robes, trying to get away desperately.
Suddenly though Esmerelda stopped pulling on the robes and stared at the mirror the other girl was holding in shock, Ethel and Sybil were on there, Lily clearly having of called them.
"NO" Esmerelda shouted, not able to cope she was bringing this problems between them and involving Ethel and Sybil. The eldest sister did not want her sisters to see her like this so she looked away, trying to hide her face.
"Aww what is the matter Hallow? I thought you loved your sisters, don't be so unscociable, say hello" Lily said as she took the mirror to Esmerelda and grabbed her arm, forcing her to look at the mirror. Ethel and Sybil saw the state of their sister and were mortified.
"Esmie?" Sybil cried, tears already filling her blue eyes because of the state her sister was in at that moment.
Ethel had not said anything, she was just staring at Esmerelda with her mouth open, lost for any words.
"I am okay, don't worry" Esmerelda said, hoping they didn't see that she was anything less than okay and she was really scared.
"W….what happened?" Ethel managed to stutter out as she looked at her sister, still shocked.
"I…..." Esmerelda said looking at Lily, wondering if she should risk telling them she was being held hostage, Lily might flip out and injure her even more than she was before.
"What your sister is trying to say is I did this" Lily said looking at the mirror and laughing at the poor younger girls horrified faces.
"W...why?" Sybil asked barely refraining from bursting into tears at what she was seeing.
"She messed with me, so I am messing with her, now what will be the ultimate revenge?" Lily said out loud, looking around as if she was wondering that and then she looked back at Esmerelda, as if deciding in that moment what would be the best revenge.
"I know, what would hurt you the most?" Lily asked Esmerelda and Esmie looked at her blankly, she had a bloody, bruised face and she expected her to tell her which injury was hurting her the most, was she just crazy? The girl wondered.
"No answer? Well you don't have to tell me I already know" Lily said and before Esmerelda could figure out what game the girl was playing now she heard Ethel and Sybil scream as they were suddenly thrown hard into the floor onto their backs.
"ETHIE, SYBIE!" Esmerelda shouted, seeing her sisters falling onto the floor and hearing them scream, causing her own heart to shatter.
"Seeing your sisters in pain, that is the worst pain for you isn't it?" Lily replied with a laugh as she watched the two young girls squirming and Esmerelda freaking out.
"NO LEAVE THEM ALONE!" Esmerelda shouted, unable to physically watch her sisters being hurt. She started to cry more than ever at the torture she was seeing happening.
"Calm down Hallow, they are only some stupid kids" Lily replied, rolling her eyes as if Esmerelda was being a nuisance.
"They are MY stupid kids, leave them alone, LEAVE THEM" Esmerelda shouted, pulling and tugging against the ropes and suddenly the mirror call cut out and Esmie was back looking in a normal mirror, not knowing if her precious sisters were injured.
"NO CALL THEM BACK, I NEED TO SEE THEM" Esmerelda screamed, feeling much more pain over what she had just seen than any of her injures.
"I don't think I will" Lily said loving to mess with the girl and Esmerelda felt something inside her snap in that moment.
It was anger, pure anger. She had let Lily abuse and use her for the last few hours, but now the girl was hurting her precious sisters and it was something she would not allow, no matter who had done it, no-one could get away with it. With that she managed to produce a spell in her anger and she felt the robes binding her wrists snap because of it. The blonde stood up and Lily looked at her, clearly this had not being part of her plan.
"What are you doing?" the girl said clearly in shock as to what had happened.
"YOU WILL NOT TOUCH MY SISTERS WITH YOUR DIRTY HANDS YOU BITCH, IF YOU MY ACTIONS" Esmerelda yelled, wondering how she had got so angry about this. She had being scared before but now she was just angry.
"What did you say to me?" Lily asked squaring up to Esmerelda and getting into her face.
"I SAID, STOP BEING A BITCH AND DON'T THINK ABOUT MY SISTERS AGAIN" Esmerelda yelled, pushing the bully and the girl fell into the chair on her desk. Esmerelda did not wait around to see if the girl was going to get up, she left the bedroom, coughing as she felt the blood in her mouth. She didn't know what the best cause of action would be, she didn't want to go see the likes of HB and Cackle and in that moment she didn't really care about herself, she only cared that her sisters were okay and not injured, so she decided to make her way to the mirror room in order to check that. She ran as fast as she could, not caring if she got in trouble for running in the corridors.
She ran, with blood and tears going down her face, needing to know Ethel and Sybil were okay and having a bad feeling they were really badly injured. She cried and cried, feeling like she was getting further away then nearer to the mirror room, she was so preoccupied she was not looking where she was going and ended up falling onto the floor after running straight into something, she didn't know what she ran into but it felt kind of soft but hard at the same time.
"Esmerelda are you alright?" she heard Miss Drill ask her worried and Esmerelda looked at the woman and saw she was holding a bag with some balls in and realised that is what she must have ran into but she had not much time to think about it because Miss Drill gasped when the young girl looked at her.
"Merlin's beard, what on earth happened?" the woman asked as she caught sight of the young girl's face.
Esmerelda suddenly started to cry, not from pain, from fear and worry about her sisters.
"My sisters are injured, I need to see them please let me" the girl said and she grabbed onto the woman and cried, not caring about herself in that moment, only Ethel and Sybil.
Miss Drill just stared at the girl not knowing what to say so she did the only thing she could think of, transfer away so she could get the girl help.
