Chapter 23

"Abel!" Seth gasped as she was finally able to wake him up.

"Unh," he muttered, turning his head to look at her with bleary eyes.

"Your energy doesn't feel the same, what did they do to you?" Seth asked, grasping his hand in both of her own.

"They've taken his power away. They've taken his power and given it to Cain!" Triana gasped, looking Abel over for injuries.

"Then why is he still alive?" Seth asked.

"I don't know, maybe as a distraction for us? Cain would love to see us fussing over him, worrying that they'll kill him so that we let ourselves go unguarded," Triana reminded. She wished there was some way that she could give her power to Abel so that she could be sure that he would be safe.

"I hope they get here soon, because my power doesn't feel the same either, I think they're working on taking mine as well," Seth realized, looking her hands over as though they alone held the answer.

"I can feel that Mama is getting closer, we don't have anything to worry about as long as we can hold out until then! They're coming for us and we can get out of here soon," Triana clapped a hand onto Seth's shoulder in reassurance.

"I'm tired," Abel whispered, his jaws gaping in a huge yawn.

"Its okay to go to sleep, Abel, we'll take care of you," Seth promised, smiling down at him.

"No, stay awake!" Triana hissed, slapping his face hard enough to wake him up.

"I think its time to get out of this cell so that when the adults get here we can run with them," Triana held up her hand, which was ablaze with violet flames. She spread the flames all over the left corner of the cell.

"The flames will appear as a great ominous shadow inside the cell, they won't be able to see us," she whispered, ushering them into the flames.
