Cherreads

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4, Return of Power

He seemed to ponder the idea with worry and fear, as he slowly tapped his right hand's pointer finger on

his throne before letting out a deep sigh showing his frustrations. "Blood magic is forbidden, you can not

agree to this Father-in-law" Erena yelled in utmost fear as her face clenched up like a clam as she chewed

on her lip, my face slightly twisted with delight seeing as the old man was put in quite the delammer. He

slowly lifted his head with a face showing a mixture of emotions that i couldn't quite read or understand

only for him to sigh once more even louder showing disappointment only to nod slowly in agreement

ignoring erena's pleas "You need to give your word your majesty" Siri beamed, almost showing her

excitement that she so obviously was trying to hide but couldn't since her poker face seemed to not

understand how to stay still and made the corners of her mouth twitch into a smile. "I agree to use blood

magic but i want to know your conditions first" the old man spoke ever so serious as his eyebrow cocked

up in wonder or perhaps amusement "We'll you have to give us our powers back anyway like it or not as

you said we are no longer criminals but the first condition is that you and no one can ever take or powers

away and if you try to your very own powers will kill you or them" Sal laughed showing a smug look on

her face. Sal's face changed from smug to pure joy as she watched the old mans face go blank only to loose

his colour as if he had just realised how much he had fucked up. The old mans faces started to turn to an

expression i could only understand as pure horror and fear before Iris spoke up "i will have the curse of

being your loyal dog removed claiming me to be the next in line to the throne as the twins don't want the

throne", The kings face's coloured started to drain more and more causing me to want to watch him

squirm. My joy probably showed on my face and knowing he could see my delight made me love these

demands more and more, almost forgetting that iris had clearly just stated he had cursed her as both sal

and i looked at her in shock there siri stood with her head held high. Before the old man could say

another word I yelled " I wish to have all those who fought in the war and passed to have a funeral and all

their loved ones to get the respect and closure they need alongside a back payment from since their loved

ones passing till their loved one is returned to them". The old man looked completely defeated hearing

my demand, looking like he might pass out or faint at any second, but there was nothing he could do or

say as he had clearly made his demands and he needed us more than we needed him making us the losing

team but at the same time it's the best way for him to not have a war on his and the other rulers hands.

'Before you say no you should know that by now we are probably the richest people in this realm so either

way we will get what we want done either with you or without and if we do it our way you and every

traitor dies" Sal laughed. "Bring the Apothe orb" the old man whispered and the cloud of smoke spoke as

he turned to look at the old man 'I'm sorry your majesty i can't hear you". "Bring me the Apothe Orb" the

old man yelled followed by a sigh as a cold sweat ran down his face as he deflated in defeat sinking into

the throne as if trying to shrink and hide and with that the cloud of smoke disappeared only to reappear

with a crystal orb in a sphere shape that had raging red, mysterious green and a smoky white that ran

around inside as if playing tag with each other. The cloud of smoke then placed the orb slamming it into

the cold marble floors causing the floor to shake underneath or feet almost causing me to lose my

balance, the cloud of smoke looked up and frowned before vanishing leaving only the orb. The orb

violently lifted itself into the air as if it were possessed, with a sharp swoosh the orb started to spin around

and around as if the smoke inside were trying to break free. Crack, crack, crack followed by a sudden

Thud before anyone could react or sense what was about to happen the orb had already broken falling

onto the cold marble floors causing the pieces of the once round orb to shatter like glass causing the

coloured smoke to become free. The coloured smoke seemed to have frozen in place but within a split

second it was like the white smoke transformed into fog and not any fog but a thick fog so thick it could

be mistaken for a smoke screen but the white color changed into a light gray causing a rumble to be heardthroughout the room and another shape appeared that looked the exact same as they started to chase

each other causing the air to start being sucked up making it harder and harder to breathe. As the cloud

like fog chased itself in a circle trying to avoid being tagged it started getting faster and faster causing the

walls to start shaking, while causing my feet to lift into the air but they never went back down and

suddenly the fog shot up with a furious howl causing a tornado to ripple through the air from the ground

and headed straight towards Siri at the speed of lightning. Before anyone could see what was happening

everyone was thrown around the room in a circular motion including the throne and shattered glass. The

loud rumbles continued followed by loud cracks and thuds and debrief to fly as the pillars fell and the

marble to fly slamming into each other and us. As a marble pillar slammed into my body causing me to fly

and spin uncontrollably through the tornado like I was some sort of bowling ball. My stomach started to

turn and shake and bounce in all different directions as if it were turned into a maraca being played,

causing a puke like sensation to fill my stomach and a burning sensation started to become all too

comfortable in my throat. Swallowing hard as I continued to go icicles making me feel like I was on that

rotor ride causing my hair blaring into my face flowing wildly in all different directions as if it had gone

crazy and become wild, closing my eyes to try not to feel that up and down motion. Closing my eyes

tightly to try stop myself from the queasy feeling in my stomach and hoping it will stop me from feel so

sick "this reminds me of that rotating ride on earth" Sal screamed followed by a sudden thump as my ass

hit the floor with a loud crack causing me to let out a blood curdling scream only to be covered by a

thud,thump,bang,clang. As everything and anything that got sucked up seconds ago came down "Oouch"

I yelled in agonizing pain as a sharp knife-like pain lingered, I could feel the swelling start. "A warning

would have been nice" Sal laughed as if she had just been on a theme park ride interrupting my thoughts

and distracting me from the pain I could feel rippling throughout my whole body. Looking back to see if

Siri was okay, my eyes stopped in the middle of the room where Siri floated elegantly like the tornado had

never happened. She seemed peaceful, elegant and free in a way. A loud sigh left Siri's lips followed by a

loud scream causing my inside to shake and with that her arms came up gracefully and with that 4

gorgeous white feathered wings sprung from her back covered in blood, A sharp sparkling silver horn

started to grow from her forehead as she continued to scream, blood started to run down her face and

agony soon took over her voice and with a burst of blue light her wing and horn glowed as she finally

opened her eyes there was no blue only a metallic silver color that shone brightly and beautifully like

some sort of angelic glow. The blue light finally faded leaving a baby blue like outline on each of her wings

feathers and holographic like glitter effect on her horn which seemed to be 5 inches long, and sharp

enough to kill a true weapon of destruction. Siri's eyes closed and with a loud thud she fell onto the floor,

As i tried to get up a sudden wave of pain washed over me, A numbness followed by a fiery sensation, this

feeling made me feel helpless and weak, turning my head back to look at my legs only to be horrified. A

blood curdling scream left my lips as i noticed a pool of blood next to both ,my legs i had broken my legs ,

the bone was outside my skin, the bone had cut a hole straight through the flesh that kept them inside

my body, both my legs in my leg had managed to be pointing in opposite directions of each other, what's

worse is that my left ankle was was barely hanging on to my mussel it had a clean break there two and all i

could do was lay on the floor pissing out blood. I finally turned my head to find Sal being cover by weeds,

she looked calm but before i could say anything vines covered her suffocating her alive causing tears to

roll down my face "No no no please no" i screamed as the vines grew into the cement cracking it

underneath destroying the floor causing the marble to fall and collapse on itself turning us into a

sinkhole. As we fell another crack, crack, thud thump only for us all to scream in pain I looked up to see

Sris' wing to have been pierced through and stuck on the broken marble pillar as blood poured out and

she continued to groan in pain. The vines that covered sal seemed to have broken her fall but my leg was

now stuck in the broken debris of a large broken pillar bis and my wrist was stuck into a pile of marbleand I couldn't see it let alone feel it, I could only see blood. When suddenly Sal's hand reaped out of the

now plant grave of Sal and with a loud rumble the vines were torn apart as Sal sat up abruptly, Suddenly a

low hiss filled the air and as she stretched wildly and yarned her tongue suddenly started to split in two

while staying connected halfway through, causing her to cough up large amounts of blood which pooled

onto the floor as if starting the making of a pond, shortly followed by another loud hiss causing her small

kaynies to descend into 2 inch dagger like fangs which you could barely make out from a distance, her

green emerald eyes shake and rattle inside her head while her eyelids stay open before suddenly going

blank than a mixture of emerald green and bark brown than a black slit appeared in the middle of her eye

as she finally blinked blooded tears fell from her eyes. my stomach turned as i watched in horror, As scales

shot out of her skin leaving a bloody trail on the right side of her neck and followed down her arm one by

one in the shape of a snake leaving only the eye area hollow appearing on her like a tattoo before she

passed out lifelessly. As tears slowly ran down my face I looked up to the painting of my mother but the

painting was now torn apart and barely recognizable when the red smoke finally appeared in front of me

only to swiftly change into raging heat with slowly turning flames with a clack and a sizzle. Fear shook my

entire body but i couldn't move, i was paralyzed our powers were not worth dying for as i tried to scream

all that came out was blood in a coughing fit, splatting all over my face and getting into my causing them

to burn, the sensation started to feel like a constant sting and my eyes to well up with tears. "God no

please" I yelled inside my head but the flames fell onto my skin causing a stench that smelt like rotten

meat to fill the air. as my body was slowly engulfed in flames and all i could do was twist and turn unable

to break free of the rumble and groan in agony, causing an unbearable heat to play along my skin, as I

continued to scream inside my head and only able to make slight moans to escape my lips, feeling myself

being burnt alive as the flames were trying to turn me into charcoal as the flames finally slowed down

than vanished. I tried to move my hand but nothing as I tried to open my mouth nothing, I was burnt into

the spot and all I could feel was agonizing pain. I felt warm, i felt p[ins in needles, i felt numbness i

couldn't even understand the pain and how badly it hurt, I tried once more to speak and this time my

mouth open and i let out a murderous scream and fire followed the sound that came out as if they were

one but the scream didn't let out any noise only fire like a dragon when they roared. As the dead body

particles and skin turn into hard charcoal then into ash only to slip off of my body leaving new skin as if

nothing had happened as if I were never on fire in the first place. But the sense of freedom didn't last

when an even gotten, more agonizing pain than before came through my vein and letting out a scream

that probably made one think i was being tortured followed by a polling onto right thigh hardening at a

rapid speed than nothing look at my thigh i saw a design of a hellhound with lava flowing through it

which could be seen through my skin, "oh my god did my blood just turn into lava" i quested in horror,

my body never looked like this and when my powers came to me i never went through anything like this. I

would never take someone's powers and give them back not even to my worst enemy this pain this

experience is even worse than torture this pain could fuel ones rage to start a war. My eyes become heavy

as my eyes slowly start to shut as tears stream down my face slowly causing me to whimper and cry

silently scared of the next step of this process. A sudden rush started to fill up in my veins feeling like

adrenaline or maybe some sort of drug that could make one addicted started to run its way through me.

leaving a warm tingling sensation spread throughout my body and a sudden burst of energy hitting me

like a truck causing me to scream in pure bliss like a fan girl meeting her idol. I could feel my bones

slowly putting themselves back together, feeling every twisting and pull and muscle reattach itself, leaving

me with a rather fuzzy feeling inside causing no pain to be felt at all. My eyes are far too heavy to keep

open as my body finally finishes fixing itself causing my body to become limp, closing my eyes once more

only to open them shortly after as if i simply blinked and never passed out, but this time with two figures

standing over me, my vision blurred and slowly adjusting as if my eyes were a camera's lens trying toregain its focus but couldn't get the right focus. As my vision finally became normal once more, I could

recognize the figures standing over me and realized it was just Sal and Siri who looked down at me with

worried expressions. "You were the last to wake up" Siri laughed as if trying to make light of the current

situation while Sal bent down and slowly sat me up whilst rubbing my back in a circular motion before

slowly helping me stand on my own two feet. Taking in my surroundings once more but everything was

no longer in disarray or looking like a disaster causing it to resemble a bomb that had just exploded,

instead it looked exactly like it did when we arrived, tidy, clean and well looked after. "Fucking magic" i

mummbled causing my eyes to stare in the direction of where the throne stood with the old man sitting

as if nothing had even happened just moments ago. "Alway more worried about his throne room than his

daughters" sal sneered, showing an overly annoyed expression as she looked back at me. I could see the

hurt and disappointment hiding behind her eyes. My mouth opened to try and give her some sort of

comfort only to shut again. I didn't know what to say to her. I didn't know how to mend a broken heart let

alone how to fix one and I most definitely didn't know how to make her feel better. I could say he has a

hard time with his emotions, but that's not true and she knows it. I could say he loves you but he doesn't

know how to tell her but if he loved her he would have canceled the wedding instead of encouraging the

betrayal. Her heart is broken from the very person who swore to love, cherish and protect you, her own

father. Fuck i didnt even know what that felt like but i didnt have that hope which she still clung onto, i

simply just didnt have that expectation, that want, that longing i just didn't care or maybe i was numb

and far to used to the disappointment. "I'll be the one doing the blood pack asshole" I screamed, causing

his attention to be fixed on me probably hoping we'd be too tired for the deal to go through or we'd call off

the deal, Hell no i aint letting this mother fucker ever get away let alone not suffer not after everythings

he's done.
