The Unexpected

16 • I Will Remember This

"Setting me free was your best move, or not"

✦ ✧ ✦

The extreme silence filled the room when chains began to clatter against each other. Celeste dropped her weapon. She had a frightened and worried look on her face as tears ran down her cheeks.

"Z-Zillah," Celeste mumbled as she walked towards her. The invincible and strongest person in the world was prisoned, right in front of me. She had pitch-black hair and her eyes were closed. Her body was covered in blood. Spears pierced her body and chains kept her in place. A thick metal mask was wrapped around her head. It covered her mouth and nose. There was a collar around her neck with a red light.

Celeste stepped closer to Zillah. She walked slowly so she wouldn't scare her.

She stood right in front of her and sat on her knees. I closed the door behind us so no one would see us.

"What did I do to you?" She started sobbing as she looked down.

But her eyes opened. Zillah opened her eyes as she looked at Celeste. Celeste didn't notice because she looked down. Celeste glared up and just stopped moving. Suddenly she jumped on Zillah and hugged her. By Zillah's eyes she looked surprised and annoyed. She leaned her head on her shoulder and closed her eyes. Celeste quickly let go, afraid of hurting her more.

"It took you long enough to visit her," a strange voice shouted. As we pulled out our weapons and looked around the room. Nobody was there. Except the small speaker in the corner. Raven didn't hesitate and her kagune appeared as crystal spikes launched out of her wings.

She destroyed the speaker as the kagune disappeared again.

Lee stepped forward towards Celeste as he tapped on her shoulder.

"We need to go, they are coming." Celeste shook as she stood up.

"I made a big mistake. I trapped you into this castle, forgetting you'll be an easier target. Zillah I'm sorry. And I'm not leaving again." A long crystal sword appeared in her hand.

Lee looked disappointed but stood ready to fight, Raven smiled as her eyes turned red and black and the dark wings grew.

And I just stood there with a small crystal blade.

"Here take this Rowan." Celeste gave me the sword she made as she made another one with her other hand. I nodded and looked at the door.

We're ready.

Suddenly glass shattered above us as a large group of men jumped down from the ceiling and attacked. Shit!

5 men attacked Celeste but she took them out easily. She blinded their eyes with a beaming light coming from her hands. The men struggled and tried to see but before they could view their surroundings Celeste kicked them in their stomach and smacked them in their face.

"Not bad for a Goddess." I chuckled as she smiled at me for a quick second and dashed towards the next enemies.

Raven got attacked by 3 men as she laughed like crazy. Her kagune shot them all in their chest with the sharp spikes.

"Who's next?!" She yelled as she laughed. Damn she's scary.

2 guys tried to jump on Lee but he swung with his sword right into their necks. As I tried to look at them and be extremely amazed, 2 guys jumped on me. Shit, I can't fight. Then one guy pulled out a gun and shot..

Thank you Celeste. Thank you for making my dreams reality. Thank you all for being by my side. I hope you will free Zillah and win. Goodbye..

"You dumbass stand up! You got Zillah's armor, remember?!" Raven yelled right into my ear as I stood up. He shot me in the head but nothing happened.
