Quest Of Battle

Chapter 26

"What has he done?"Lucy asked.

"I could not do anything."She replied.

"And you could not do anything."Kayla said as she folded her blanket."After all your mind was programmed for it."

"What is she talking about?"Lucy asked.

"We should give her some privacy."
He said and walked away.

Kayla walked elsewhere followed by Ezra, Astha and Lucy as they all turned to take a glimpse of her.

All alone in the forest, Leila breathed heavily and wiped her tears.

Kayla who was with the others just stared at Leila.
"Do you know anything relating to what Leila just said?"Lucy asked.

"I don't."She replied."I was just joking around."
She then went her separate way.

But they all knew she was hiding something.

Zenith decided to talk to Leila so he went to her.

He decided not to go too near to her as she was already disturbed.

He turned from her and stood there until Leila was alright.

Leila knew he was there but with her eyes filled with tears,how could she turn to him?

Surprisingly,they turned around and Zenith went to her.

"Are you alright?"He asked."Your scream made all of us wake up in alarm."

"Sorry."She begged, laughing.

"What nightmare was that?"

She did not know what to say,of course she couldn't just tell a person she hardly know.

"I'm sorry but I can't"She turned and replied.

He held her shoulder."Don't let it overcome you. You should overcome it."

She turned to him and agreed.

"I'm just here to help you find your mother."

As he saw a tear drop,he wiped it for her."So stop crying and let's go."

As they talked, Kayla hid behind a tree and watched when Ezra stood behind and interrupted her concentration.

"Don't they look cute?"

"Ugh... People and romance."She replied."Just the worst."

With that she went leaving Ezra there, smirking.

Finally,they all met and packed up.

"So where do we go next."Astha asked.

"Where her mother is."Ezra replied."Now let's move."

He said and they followed.

"Let me go."Susan shouted."Where are you taking me?"

The demons in human form,held Susan's hands and forced her to walk.
Her legs felt weak and she couldn't walk. So they dragged her instead.

They reached to the hall and threw her there.

Susan watched left and right but could not see anyone.
The place looked beautiful but the dark colors of ash,black and red made the large room a bit creepy.

She quickly stood up and hit the door loudly, begging them to let her go.

As she continued,a male voice in the room laughed scaring Susan.

He laughed at her until he mysteriously appeared on his majestic 'throne'.

"And you think I will do that?"He scoffed.

"Are you such an imbicille?"She smiled and turned to him."Only people or demons like you wouldn't let an innocent woman like me go."

He held her arm tightly and replied darkly."You are in my domain so watch out or else you will be like him."
