Princesses Cari The Left Pages Of Publove Arc Part Four

The Tower Witch

They soon arrived on the third page. They knew that they were getting higher by the lilac sky beside them. The air was still breathable, which was because knew that this place was at an angle. Yet the gravity did not reflect this. In fact the only thing that tipped them off that the ground was at an angle was the other side as the upper level and the ground meeting.

The Chronicler opened the map of the Page that they were on. They all had spotted that despite that the place was filled with homes and shops the place was awfully quiet. There weren't even any sounds of birds or bugs. They spotted that all of the people that were in their homes were all asleep.

They looked at the Chronicler with questions in their eyes. She looked at the map and spotted that the tower was marked, however there was a note next to it. They walked back to her as they looked at it.

“This tower is protected by a witch that keeps all those that live in the Kingdoms asleep. Swift will be your friend in this case. Do not book into an inn or tavern here. If you do then you will fall into a deep sleep just like the rest.” she read out.

“So let's get there ASAP!”

“ASAP?”

“As soon as possible.”

“Oh.”

Started to walk to where the tower was. They soon spotted the tower, it looked like it was moulded out of black glass and with a crimson spire that was in the shape sharp fire. As they became closer and closer they spotted the emerald double doors. When they came to them they opened, welcoming them in. Knowing that they were expected they walked in.

Inside it was quite empty apart from one single couch. Next to the door was a set of spiralling stairs that let up with a, sharp point that curled upwards.

“Well, well, well, I did not expect guests.” came a cold voice that was like ice.

They looked up as a white dress came into sight. As the pail white bare foot stepped down further and further revealing until they saw thin and slender hands drawn to the centre with one pinching the other in a perfect v. Then the snow white hair came into view, like a milky waterfall. She soon revealed her face that was almost completely white, with barely visible eyebrow and lashes. Above her high cheekbones sat her eyes. The only thing to break in her white for they started out red and as it me the whites of the eyes, became deep emerald green.

“Well, well, well, if it is none other than the Mythos Puros herself!” she said with a note of surprise in her voice. Then her eyes looked up on her in pity. “I can see that what you are has caused you a lot of pain. Especially between you and your parents. I can tell that they do not see your pain nor the pain that they have caused you, especially your messed up mother. Oh yes, I can see it. The loneliness in your heart, the trauma of what those witches put you through and even your guilt as she reminds you of the pain that you have caused her all her life!”

She said as she stepped onto the floor. As Scar was becoming more and more pale by every word that she uttered.

“Yet she either does not realise or chooses to ignore how much pain she puts you through. And you try to do the same too. You know, I can tell that you are just like your father, overcompensating for the pain that you have put her through and the shame and misery your existence has put you through.” she said as she placed a hand on her cheek and lifted her face up. Scar looked like she was going to puke.

“However, it does not have to be this way. I can help you. I can be your new mother. I can give you the love that you have so desperately craved since your other adopted mother was so tragically murdered.” she said as she placed the other hand on her shoulder and gave her an encouraging smile. “All you have to do is tell me how you were conceived and I will give you everything that you have longed for.”

Scar was shaking as her lip curled.

“Back off.” she spat as she punched her as hard as she could off her.

She hit the door and there was a trickle of blood coming from the corner of her mouth. She licked it away and smiled a mocking smile.

“So, that is how you want to play it do you?” she said as she looked at Scar directly in her eyes and suddenly she was on the floor. Her eyes were closed and she built up a sweat. Her face twisted in pain.

“Scar!” they all shouted.

The witch laughed a lyrical laugh.

“Now, now, now, you can not say that I did not give her a chance now can you?” she said as her eyes looked at Oran.

“Now tell me, what is Sylvina's closest failure doing with this group?” she asked. “And why are you so loyal to this group of two royal hybrid bastards and a Queen of a fallen kingdom?”

“They freed me form her and I know that this is where I belong.” she said.

“Really? So do you think that you belong always on the road, not having a true place to stay and rest your head?Oh, how long will you be able to last in this life?”

“I don't know, but I don't care. I owe them my life. In fact I'll be okay with having this be forever.” she said.

“How very naive of you. Now, why is the Queen of the fallen kingdom here, mentoring a group of children that you know are by far out of their league?” she asked.

“I know that this is what I have to do right now, and you seem to be forgetting that I have been taking down people that are by far out of my league since before I was Oran's age.” she said.

“Oh, and why are you not fighting me right now?”

“My time to fight along side them, has not yet come.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“They need experience that cannot give if I fort.”

She nodded. Her eyes dropped to Ryo and she then heard a high-pitched whistle. She then caught the arrow before it hit her heart. She looked over at Cari. Her eyes were wide and wild. She raised her crossbow and then was about to fire until she hear a click and caught the pole of the scythe and with one flick of the wrist spun him. He let go of him and he flew back into the black glass walls with a crack. She Smiled until she heard another high-pitched whistle and soon there was another thing that broke the blinding white. She fell.

Knowing that she was dead The Chronicler picked up Scar as she guided Oran out as the others smashed the black glass. When the tower started to wobble and they ran to safety as it fell.
