Chapter 18: Tell me

Fable's POV:

" Fable, you been pacing in this living room for 30 minutes, already!!!!!" Eliza said, we got back like 2 hours ago. Plus, we made a secret room for me and the others. I sighed, I am stress, I am so worried about Ivory/Gregory. I can't think, eat, sleep or something. Eliza tried to keep me calm, but I can't. Eliza have been the only one know kept me calm in these situations like this. But I don't know if I can stay calm.

" I can't stay calm, Za. I am not fine, I am so worried about Gregory. I am scared for him, because he can't lie to Evan like us, " I started to cry, and I fell onto my knees. I started to cry, and I covered my face with my hands. I am failure, I failed to protect Gregory. If I warned him sooner, but there is not time to cry. I need to strong, show no weakness. Why does my new life has to be this way? I kept questioning myself, and I felt a hand on my shoulder. I un-covered my face, and I looked up. It was Eliza, " Hey, it's not your fault. Please stop blaming yourself for something that you did in the past. Look into the future, " Eliza said, as she sat beside me.

Eliza pulled me into a hug, and I hugged back. " Let it all out, " she said, and I cried in her chest. I kept apologizing, and Eliza comforted me. " It's okay, it's not your fault. Don't apologizing, we can save the others, " she said, and I looked at her. I hugged her, tight. 

" It's okay, we will save him and the others."

Gregory's POV:

I awoke up, and I was in Evan's room again. I looked around and Evan was in the room. He was playing with the dagger, he use to carve me with, and implanted the crystals. " Now, care to explain, how did the others escape the prisons? I know you were lying, why are you protecting those mages? " He asked with serious tone. I was silent, and I didn't know what to say.

" Mages are humans, why did you turned the humans into mages, Ivory? " Evan asked again, and I was silent. I was scared he will hurt the others, and I don't want him to hurt them. " Because not all mages are bad, there are kind and caring mages, " I answered without a second thought. Evan looked at me with stern look, " All humans are all bad, remember what happened in our past life? They tried to kill you and Violet, " he said, with serious voice. " But that in the past now, we are in future, please the mages prove they can live. I saw them change and everything, Alexander, " I said, as I tried to convince him.

But he didn't look convince, I want the mages live. But Evan doesn't, why is that? They changed, only if he knew the mages have changed their ways after the war. " If they changed, then why didn't they just answer us, yet? Maybe they are planning to kill us without us knowing, " he exclaimed, " But you said you will delay your plans, Evan, " I said, and I got out of bed. I took my dagger on my nightstand, and I hid it behind my back.

" Yes, I did said that. But I think, I will change my mind, " he scoffed, and he laughed. Then I was about to throw the dagger, until my back and my neck started to hurt again. I collapsed onto the floor on my knees with the pain on my back and my neck. I dropped the dagger as well, and I saw Evan was smirking. He walked towards me, and he kneeled down. " You think you tried to kill me, over and over again. I am not going to delay my plans any longer, love. You are lucky I am going to spare your family and your friends who are mages. But I need to get the truth out of you, first, " Evan explained, and I whimper in pain.

Then it stopped, Evan grabbed my hand and help me up. Then he threw at the wall, and that hurt. Especially my wings, " Now tell me, Gregory, where are they? Why did you free them? " He asked with rage, and I can't fight back. I need to fight back, but how am I suppose to fight back? He grabbed my throat, and started to choke me. I tried to my telekinesis to move the dagger, but I am too weak. I tried again, but I couldn't. " L-let*gasp for air* me g-go, " I gasping for air, and Evan looked at me with his eyes. I saw the rage and angry in his eyes, I can't tell him. 

I need to protect my friends, my family and the mages who are endanger. " Then tell me where are they? Were you the one you let them escape? " Evan asked, again. But I am risking them, with myself. I need to stay strong for them, I can't let him find them. I am going to protect them, no matter what. Evan tighten his grip, and I started choking. I am not going to tell him, anything. I am going to protect everyone, I made that vow so many years ago. But I failed that vow.

But I am not going to fail again, not this time. Then Evan let go of my throat, and I gasped for air. " Yes, I was the one who let them go. I wasn't going to stand there, " I answered his question at last. " Where did they go? " He asked, " I don't know, " I answered with scared tone. " Hmm, I believe you. But I will sent my guards after them, " he said, and I didn't want that. " No, please leave them alone. Hurt me, but not our child, not them. Please leave them alone, " I begged Evan with pleading eyes, but he looked at me. 

" I will sent the guards, Ivory. Plus, stay out of my plans. I am doing this for your good, " Evan said, and he was about leave the room. I use my telekinesis to throw the dagger at Evan. Then he turned around, and dodge it again. But this time I threw the same dagger at him again. And it hits his abdomen, " I bet you didn't see that coming , " I said with a smirk. 

He pulled out the dagger of his abdomen, " Huh, you are right. But once I found out where are the others. But for now, I will lock you in this room for time being. Until the truce party, I will unlock this room, " Evan said, as locked the room. I am locked in here, I looked at the balcony.

I opened the glass door, and I saw Evan put a shield over the balcony. I am ain't escape this place anytime soon.
