The girl clenched her fists in frustration. She wanted out, she wanted out! Why did he leave her? Will she revert back to the girl she used to be? Will she never see the sun again? She didn’t want that! Please!
She began to cry, and for the first time in a while, her tears didn’t glow. She looked up at the guards that were taking her to a new place, a new prison for her. She let herself get dragged around. She knew then that she would never escape her fate. She would forever be the caged girl, the one that she never wanted to be, the oracle that could see everything. And at what price?
The guards threw her harshly into a dimmed room and closed the barred door. She sighed, slumping into a corner. She wasn’t chained, thank goodness. She wanted to enjoy her freedom of her limbs for just a little while longer.
She sighed as she looked away, trying to get some sleep. The whole ordeal exhausted her, and she needed the rest.
Footsteps echoed in the dim room. She raised her head at the sudden noise, noticing a familiar silhouette as it walked towards the dimmed prison. She quickly pressed her body against the wall, turning her away from the shadow, trying to ignore the current circumstances thrusted upon her. She shut her eyes tightly as she sensed a light.
“Where is she?” he sneered. She looked up again, only to stare into the eyes of the king, his frightening gaze seemingly crushing her. She knew who he was talking about, but she composed her face so that it showed no emotion.
“I don’t have a clue, Your Majesty,” she answered, wanting to spit in his face.
“You’re lying,” he said, his tone raised in desperation. “I know you’re an accomplice of that, of that monster. He kidnapped my child. Where is she?”
“I’m not answering to you. You don’t have my allegiance.” She closed her eyes calmly, trying to keep herself from lashing out on him. As for now the king was sparing her, and she didn’t want to shorten the remaining time she has to live.
The king gripped onto the rusty metal bars, the only barrier that kept her from losing her life. She jolted slightly back as a reflex. The rattling of the cage scared her. “You should be glad that I decided to spare your worthless life,” he sneered, his head down. “Of course, I can’t let you run free. The people would be frightened if they found out that a creature like you lurks free.” He released the bars.
Lily opened her eyes curiously. He held out a small bottle of glowing blue liquid. “An expert examined this… whatever you were hiding. He knows about your power.”
She shivered.
“So, if you won’t tell us willingly, then…” He smiled creepily. “…then we will just have to force you to show us.” He left the room and Lily fell to the ground, her glowing tears falling off her cheeks. She quickly caught them, trying to savor the memories that might come out of them, and she swiftly caught them.
As she poured her glowing tears into the half-filled bottle, she saw something that could potentially become a disaster.
“Oh no, Abby,” she murmured as she looked into the bottle. “Abby, please…”
She may not have cried physically, but she couldn’t help but feel heartbroken. Her dear friend, he left her. And he was in danger.
She sat there, trying to take her attention off of the horrible vision from her tears and tried to focus on the faint memories with Abaddon, and strangely, the princess that saved her from her tears, from her destined doom. After they were the only things that calmed her down. They were the only things to keep her company.
