Chapter 14 - Chapter 11: (continued)

There was smoke everywhere. They hid from the forest watching the garage burn in flames. The grass, plants and trees dried out, dying all at once and the ground was left bareless. Water dried out in dams. They saw a couple of witches flying to the sky. "It's them, Evelyn and Oscar, they are the ones responsible for this. We have to move now", said Mrs Mackenzie. "What about the kids?", asked Mr Mackenzie. "They remain behind with him", said Austin pointing to a man wearing a long brown jacket. He came out from nowhere, his face covered with a balaclava. They all looked at him, Mrs Barker nodded her head. He opened a door before them, and they walked inside. "They shall be safe here", said Duncan. There was dust everywhere. "We will have to follow them", said Mr Goldberg. "Or rather kill them at once", replied Mrs Mackenzie. "No we can't not now. We can't be delayed", answered Mrs Barker. They ran into the jet in the dust and rode it. It took off following the witches headed to Atlanta. The Triads were the first one to arrive in Atlanta. They flew over the city headed straight to the Atlantic ocean. That was where the Phoenixes were kept. They were inside a cave, closed by a strong wall. They flew their jets down. People were busy moving out. They've seen what has happened in other countries and cities. How damaged they were. They were too running away, neither they knew where. The jets landed onto the ground. Mother Theresa got off together with Madeleine and the warriors. "It's so quiet but where are the Atlantians?''asked Mother Teresa looking out from the sea. "There they are '', replied Emir standing from the plane looking at the sea. They were all swimming up to the surface. The king and queen led the way walking on top of the water. The waves were still not moving. They walked up to them and landed on the sand. "I told you it was them. Dragon Slair will arrive by dark with his mates' ', said the queen. "I had to be sure", replied the king. They greeted one another. "But why does it seem like you're the only ones here? Where are the other kingdoms, Mr Goldberg and his team?", asked the queen. "We are the only ones for now and I'm surprised too, perhaps they got delayed somewhere plus it's far from where they are coming from, especially the three kingdoms Avelon, Fairy and Oceania. They had been attacked by the witches, you know the Arolie sisters, Evelyn and Oscar joined by Jessica now, the evil fairy", replied Mother Theresa. "Ohh I see, we've done all the work by the way. We were just waiting for all of you to arrive whether Mr Goldberg with the others or Dragon Slair first", said the king. "You set up your weapons here and please fly the planes over there after you're done", said the queen. "Emir, you will have to pack out all the weapons with the warriors thereafter fly the jets over there, you can also practice while we wait '', said Mother. "Okay mother shall do '', replied Duncan walking to tell the warriors. They took out all the weapons outside and flew the jet over to the beach houses. They then practiced once more. "I wonder if the kids made it out safe, it's getting dark now", said Mother Theresa worried. "They did, they are on their way back now", answered Madeleine. "Which kids now? Are there also kids involved?", asked the king. "Yes, it turned out John and Scarlett, Kate as well as the others have kids, powerful ones too", replied Mother Theresa holding back so as not to mention Lucidas child. "So where are they? You seem worried ain't they with them?", asked the queen. "No, they came to me and I had to train them but they had to do something else so they couldn't come with us' ', answered Mother. "Something important, what is that? and you let them", asked the king, he was quite protective over kids. "Yeah apparently the kids have the emerald, the witches need it and Evelyn, Oscar and Jessica didn't get the green gemstone. The fairy queen had it kept somewhere giving directions to her child Aurora in a belt wrapped around her wrist to show them where it was so the kids went to get it", answered Mother. "That's good news but are you sure the kids won't be killed along the way? It's such a risk to send kids nowadays especially at this time of the year thinking they might make it or not '', said the king being concerned. "Trust me they will make it out plus knowing their parents as well as their powers and the strengths they hold, they will '', replied Madeleine. "I hear you say that they will make it out but how do we stop the witch from getting the gemstones? do they know they are with them?", asked the queen. "No they don't, that is what worries me but perhaps Mr Goldberg will have a better solution to that. I hope they arrive first '', said Mother. "Neither do I know about that, ILiara always had her way to get them but we will have to stop them from getting them no matter what", said Madeleine. "But as soon as the kids get here we'll have to take the gemstones away from them", said the king. "Still on that, let's go over to the wall. It's getting dark now. We will have to stand prepared", said the king. They walked to the wall and all warriors followed, both the atlanteans and the Triads. They stood by the wall waiting for the others. Two warriors whispered from the back. "Do you think we will win this war?", asked one thin warrior, he was tall. A girl answered, "Yes we will, don't you know who we are with. Mr Goldberg and his team plus there's also many of us' ', said the girl. "Even though I don't think the witches will spare us especially ILiara and Lucida plus they will all be awakened. Every witch that had died will be there whereas their armies fight brutally. It's not easy to kill those things'', said the thin male warrior. "Haha, I think you're only getting cold feets man, relax we will make it out fine just remember your training and why you are doing this' ', said the other girl's friend laughing. The warrior nodded his head and spoke to himself "As if it does work ''. He then held tight to his shield. He looked back and forth and walked away with the other soldiers. He was shaking out of fear. The kids followed the map directions and got to England. They flew over to the museum whereas the dragon landed next to the door. The girls got off, Aurora and Matilda landed next to them. They stood next to the door, and Elaine opened it. The museum was indeed old. The whole place was covered in dust and spider webs. It seemed like it was neglected for years. No one had gone to it in years. No wonder it was at the end of England. 'So now how do we know where your grandmother was buried?", asked Alice, looking around. The museum was a long hall with a number of stairs filled with ancient things. "Follow me, I do know where", replied Suzette leading the way. She could feel her presence and heard her spirits. She had traveled here once from her dream. She remembered where she walked from. She walked all the way up to the last hall in the museum. She removed a skeleton of a dragon in front of her and vases from there. It was in the middle of the room. She drew a circle and once it was joined, she said "We will have to dig in here", said her. "With our bare hands? Ain't there any spades in here? it will take the whole day if we do '', asked Alice. "There are, there's one there", said Elaine. She goes and takes it. "There are even ancient forks and shovels", added Matilda. They all took them and dug the whole ground where the circle had been made. Even Aurora too carried a little fork, Elaine shrinked it for her. They bombed the floor with a bomb Suzette had created and thereafter removed the sand. They all went down, dust filled the whole room. They dug it out until they reached Suzette grandmother's coffin. "There it is what do we do now?", asked Matilda. "We will have to open it and the book is inside", replied Suzette, opening it slowly. Elaine and Matilda helped her. Aurora hides behind Alice. They opened the coffin. A skeleton popped out as they opened it. They let go and screamed moving back. Aurora held tight to Alice. The coffin widely opened, the door fell on the other side. "It's alive! we have to run away, what if it kills us?", shouted Alice. "Are you sure? Is it really your grandmother? We can still run away, you know", asked Elaine scared, her body still shaking. "I'm sure, it is her. I've dreamt of this, remember", replied Suzette moving her hands in front of the skeleton. She pushed it back down. It fell. "Guys she's dead, this was just a prank", shouted Suzette. They all walked closer. "So where's the book then? this place is creepy", asked Alice. "There it is in her hands. she's holding it", replied Elaine. Suzette slowly moved her hands and grabbed it. She took it out slowly from its hands and held it. "Close it then so we can leave", shouted Aurora, she was terrified. Matilda slammed it closed. They were still inside when they felt the ground shaking and the sand falling of from the roof over to them. They all looked up. "The whole place is cracking. We will have to get out of here before it collapse on us", shouted Suzette. They all ran out. Aurora ran in between them. The museum was falling apart, it was going to collapse. The roof was falling on them. They had to dodge it whereas the skeletons all fell down as well as the other things in the museum crashed on them. It was chaotic everywhere. Aurora's leg got caught in one of the skeletons that had fallen. She couldn't take it out. She screamed so loud. It was so painful besides her the wall was cracking and the roof was about to fall down onto her. And even the skeleton of the camel that stood next the wall would fall on her And that statue of a man carrying a gun. They all turned back to her. Elaine and Alice held the skeleton up whereas Matilda and Suzette tried freeing her leg. Luckily it got off and they ran away. The wall and the roof fell behind them as well as the man's statue. They ran out to the hall but as they were about to get to its door. The roof fell in front of them. It blocked the way. "What now, how can we get out of here?", asked Alice. "Can we all fit in there, there is some space left but it will close soon. We will have to be fast", asked Elaine. "Yeah we all can, we will have to crawl over very fast", answered Alice. Aurora went in first and crawled over. There was dust in the hole, the sand was falling so it was hard for her to see clearly. She did manage to get out. She held on one of the skeletons that remained unshakable. Elaine and Alice both followed. They crawled slowly and too got blinded by the dust. It made them cough. Suzette and Matilda went in last. The rocks were shaking, they were so close to falling. The dust was now too much. The sand is falling too much, dirtying their clothes. They crawled too fast. Suzette got out first. Elaine and Alice were holding some of the rocks from crushing on them. Whereas Suzette got out and pulled Matilda out fast. The rocks fell down after that. They then ran to the exit door. They ran from side to side, hitting on the wall and the statues. The skeleton fell in front of them and all the pictures fell to the ground. They had to walk around them and all the broken pieces of the windows. They ran to the door and when they were just about to open it. The door fell down onto the ground. They stepped aside so it wouldn't hit them. The three girls rode on the dragon and the dragon took off. Matilda and Aurora field next to them. Suzette shouted "We will now have to find the thubstone of Matilda's mother!", she said, shouting from the wind. There was a cold wind outside blowing strong on them. Birds all fell down even trees got off from their roots. The clouds were forming, the sky turning dark. There was a storm coming, a heavy one. Matilda shouted from the wind "I can't hear you". The wind was blowing strongly in her face. She moved side to side. But their wings were too strong. She flew next to her. Aurora was too young, she couldn't fly. It was blowing too hard on her. She was also feeling cold. She then flew over the others and sat with them in the dragon. The others shifted, there was enough space. The dragon was big enough. She sat in front. Suzette shouted again and this time louder that the others closed their ears. "I'm saying we will have to find your mothers tombstone now. Do you still remember where she was laid to rest?'' Suzette shouted. The wind was blowing hard on her. Matilda froze for a second. She felt the pain again. The pain she always ran away from and avoided for many years ago had come back to hit her again. And this time for real. She somehow had forgotten she was flying. She surrendered to the pain and the wind pulled her down. The others shouted at her but Matilda had run away with her thoughts. She remembered the day as exactly as it happened. She remembered crying on top of her mother to wake up. Tears won her over. She kept on having this thought playing in her mind of her mother falling to the ground and ILiara stabbing her so repeatedly. It played over and over again. She had long wished and still now that she would wake up and see her again. She dreamed of this many times over and over again. Almost everyday in her sleep during the night. Especially at times where she was lost and scared. Where she felt alone and casted by the world. She would sometimes see her enter by the door. She was longing for her hugs and kisses. She had slowly forgotten them and wished to feel them again. And hear her tell her that everything would be fine. She was bleeding from the inside from this pain. She once again felt sad, anguished and bereft. She felt a stab in her back. She somehow saw her flying down to catch her but she dissipated in front of her eyes. She was blown away by the wind. She was wishing to see her smile again and to hear her voice one more time. But all that could be had if she would just take a leap of faith and believe. Suzette had given her a chance to see her again. As she was falling down, her dragon flew down and got her up. She woke up and found herself at the hands of Elaine and Suzette, She turned to them. "I do know where she was buried", she said, getting up and leading the way. She had remembered where she was buried. They went back to fetch her in that place where she died. She was buried next to all the kings and queens of the fairy kingdom in the farms of Nambodia. That was the burial site of the fairies. She led the way and flew to that place. The wind had no effect on her. The dragon followed her. "The storm will be here at any minute and hell shall break loose. We shall tonight see who is stronger between Lucida and I, between her team and ours. She will sing my praises If I go down so does she with me. In fact I will be the last one standing, if she thinks she will get rid of me just like she must then calculate her measures first. She knows I'm too powerful for her but considers trying me. Then I say she must and she will be walking out dead with his friends. I say we kill all of them. Every ant, cat and dog will be six feets under tonight. We leave no survivors. The only survivors are us and only us. We will crush and smash them like those ants. They shall feel what it's like to play with fire and get burnt. What it's like to fight against ILiara and how better sweet her revenge tastes especially to those who betray her", spoke ILiara standing from the window. She was done doing what she was doing in that room. "And she will regret betraying us. She will die with those fools. She will regret ever joining them and shall regret ever starting a war with us", said the eldest Arolie sister. "As well as those pigs, they shall rule the day they ever meet us", said Alexis wearing a long black jacket like her mother's. "To think they can just betray us like that then they've better be kidding", said Alexa. "In all that John will have to pay and as well as those sidekicks of his", said the wizard. ILiara goes to the room again and comes back holding something covered with a cloth. She puts it in her seat. She removed the cloth. It was Dragon Slair's hammer. "I think this belongs to you father", said ILiara picking it up and giving it to him. Dragon Slair smiled, he held it up. It was still as the olden days, heavy and gold. It was his killer machine. He would smash you with it and be dead immediately. He laughed out loud and shouted "Then victory shall be ours", said him shouting out loud holding his hammer up. The armies replied and shouted aloud "Yeah". Astraea added "It will all end with us tonight", he said smiling, shaking hands with his twin. A lightning strike, they laughed louder. ILiara and the Arolie sisters together with her husband and the twins stood next to him and smiled. He and ILiara held hands. Dreadlocks entered "It all worked out perfectly sir, the robots are ready to kill", he said walking to them. They were so close to getting to Atlanta and to landing. "ILiara is already upping her game, she's using all her powers. She's now even making the acid storm. We will have to be prepared for her. This storm kills it and washes away everything. It kills and poisons everything. Everything vanishes to the sand like it never lived and to us we will perish and turn to ashes and from ashes to sand. We will have to outsmart ourselves this time", said Mr Goldberg. "She can play all her tricks but once all the cards are on the table and the game starts it means everyone gets a fair chance and the one who plays well gets to win but the problem is she's already had her chance and all of her cards are burning. Her competitor already knows her ways. She's like a dog without a born. She's useless now. She will die like my parents. She will burn in hell like my forefathers. See, those parasites will die all at once. We will all walk out alive, no Dragon Slair's too powerful for me or her. She threatened me no more. She will sing my praises before she loses her life. She became strong and I've gotten stronger. They say she's undefeatable and I'm immortal. I've got a new thing coming and I do hope she's well prepared cause this time I'm not alone. I'm with a team and a powerful team too. I've got my family and I know the rain will rain, we will all perish but no we will rise again. I'm familiar with her ways and she is familiar with mine. But as I've said we shoot to kill, slay to death, kick to pain and to suffering then to death", said Mrs Mackenzie holding a glass of wine looking at the clouds forming, the lighting striking. They stood quiet only Mr Mackenzie had something to say. "It is time to put an end to all of this. We can't be played by the same people over and over again", he said, holding his wife from her shoulders. "Yeah, we shoot to kill", said Mr Dedekind. "And slay to death", added his wife. "No matter what you do that witch dies tonight", spoke Mrs Barker. The plane flew straight to Atlanta, they were a few meters away. "It's all going down tonight, we shall defeat them all tonight, no war has ever been too hard for us to finish, no enemy is too strong for us. We shall kill them and finish them all tonight. We are stronger together, we are powerful and we will put them where they belong. They shall revive their world in those graves underground far from here", said John sitting next to the window looking outside. "Death has always been their middle name, they shall die like it", said Scarlett. "By the way we already know of their plans, don't we Jenny?", asked Jorge. "Of course we do '', answered Jenny, smiling. Their plane was flying away and a few miles away from Atlanta. The three kingdoms flew together, their planes were rather far away from reaching Atlanta but too close to the other planes. The fairies got inside as they saw the storm and how cold it was outside. "They shall want to kill us with the storm again but not this time around. We shall use this ointment onto ourselves. The storm won't have any effects on us, it shall wash away like sand", said the fairy queen. She then passes the ointment. The king and queen of Oceania used it as well as their soldiers. Also Mr Houghton did so together with the Avelons. "And we might have a problem, Evelyn and the others are awake. They're all flying around the world destroying it and turning humans to witches. We will have to stop them", said the fairy king. "We will have to fly fast, perhaps we will catch up to them. Sirius, can you fly this thing a little faster?", spoke the queen of Oceania. "Yes, mam", answered Sirius. He was helping his friend from Oceania to fly the jet. They were both taking turns driving it. He increased the speed and the plane took off flying very fast. "They are so close now, you may take your positions' ', shouted the queen of Atlanta. The warriors all scattered around taking their positions. Others walked with the queen and king, and some with mother and Madeleine. They stood around the wall that kept the Phoenixes ready for the witches to land and to kill them. The planes of the witches landed at that time as the queen had said. "Look at those idiots, Madeleine and that trainee of hers never give up. They always think they are strong enough, ooh they are also joined by the Atlantians, poor humans they are ready to die", said Astraea laughing. The armies got out and ran to fight them. The king and queen, Madeleine and Mother Theresa ran together with their warriors to fight them too. ILiara and the others stood watching them from the plane. "I think this is a waste of time, let's finish them all at once", said the eldest Arolie sister. "I'm kind of enjoying the view", answered ILiara. "Then we not '', replied Dragon Slair. He took his hammer and hit the ground and all the warriors went down. The middle Arolie sister froze them. Whereas the five, the king and queen, mother, Madeleine and Emir ran to fight them but Dragon Slair hammered them down with his hammer. They fell down to the ground weakling. They got out of the plane and passed all of them. They walked over to the wall. Dragon Slair created the dark rings and wore them in his hands whereas holding his sword. The twins stood from afar. They all then used their powers to break the wall. The girls flew all the way to Nambodia. Matilda landed onto the ground where the tombstones were. The dragon flew down to the ground and sat down there and the others got off. Matilda led the way to where her mother was. She spoke softly "This is where my mother was buried then", she said, kneeling down next to it on the other side. It was already dark outside. "We've got no time to waste, I shall start", said Suzette. "So where do we help?", asked Alice. "I will tell you but for now I have to do this on my own'', answered Suzette. She closed her eyes and opened them again. Just like her mother they turned dark. A lightning appeared in her hands and the dark power. She picked up ten different stones from the ground. She aligned them. "I will then need you Matilda to turn these stones to gemstones' ', she said, holding them up in the air with her hands. Matilda did so and turned them to gemstones. She then spoke in tongues and the stones turned after the other. Strong light came out, the others closed their eyes. They all turned to iron rocks with green circles in the center. It was the green liquid that would realize the magic of life magic. They were all just like her mothers, all round in shape and small. She then placed them down, one by one around Matilda's mothers grave. She paged the book with her eyes whereas still placing the stones. She opened the right page. She then took the book, controlling it with her eyes. She placed it at Matilda's mom's head at the top of her forehead. She then sat next to the grave kneeling before it. Elaine and the others were asked to stand back. They did and stood from far. She then started to speak in tongues, no one knew the spell or what she was saying. The stones lit up and realized the magic of life magic. The magic flowed in streams over to the grave. It entered the queen's body from all directions to where the stones were up to her head. The magic traveled from her forehead to her whole body. The grave dug itself. The sand flowed up and opened a hole. The feets showed little by little until her whole body was exposed. She was still the same except that she was dead. Suzette increased her speed and spoke quickly. Matilda stood in hope stepping slowly to her mothers grave. The queen's hands moved. Suzette then touched her forehead with the book and all the words came out and circled around the queen's forehead. The magic was too much and everywhere. Suzette shouted so loud, the girls closed their ears. She was indeed sounding too loud. The queen opened her eyes slowly. Suzette stopped, the words went back to the book and it shutted closed. The stones stopped realizing the magic and the light deemed. They then went back to normal stones. The queen woke up lost. The sand was falling on top of her. She got up. She couldn't believe it. She was alive. She touched her face over and over again. Opening and closing her eyes. She looked up and raised her hands and the sand fell down to them. She touched it and it felt so real. She breathed once again, the breath of life. The breath of the living. She was still in that when Matilda ran to hug her in her grave. She would never forget her child. She hadn't forgotten her face. As that was how she looked when she was young. She cried, opening her arms. She too hugged her, grabbing her tight to her arms. It just felt so real. Matilda looked at her closely, she was indeed alive. That hug she longed for, for so many years she finally felt it. She cried and spoke to her "I missed you. It's been hard ever since you left. My life turned around to hurricanes. I lost myself, I got turned into a puppet, I.. (she didn't continue, her mother shushed her)". She then replied "I know and I've always been there and seen how you were treated and how strong you are. You always rose up every time you were defeated and you even made friends in all of that", said her mother comforting her. At last she saw her again and hugged her. She felt like she was dreaming. Her mother kissed her. She did it too many times. She then sat on her and introduced the others. "These are my friends, Elaine, Alice, Matilda, Suzette and also Aurora '', she said, pointing to them one by one. "Nice to meet you girls' ', she said smiling. Her voice was still the same soft and kind. She then stood up picking Matilda up with her. "Suzette is the one who woke you up", said Matilda. "I can see your Lucidas child right, Where is she?", asked Lindsay. The girls were surprised, Suzette heart beat so fast. She spoke to herself "I will have to explain myself again. My mother was responsible for her death too. She probably hates her but she rather seems calm about it", she said. Alice answered instead, seeing Suzette had been struggling to. "I'm with our parents", she replied softly. Matilda's mom was beautiful and all that with a cute smile, she was kind of calm. She just smiled at her, Matilda interrupting her before she spoke. "Mom, how do you know?"asked Matilda, getting up from her shoulder and looking at her directly into her eye. "I know all of you, all your parents and even you, Aurora. You're my niece and I'm your aunt. The eldest sister to your mother and Jessica but the question is, why did you wake me up? I had a dream four years ago, five girls stood next to me. You were also there Matilda but then you were different, you were a puppet. I was sitting with all of you. The dream would just end there but I didn't know what it meant but my angels explained it. The ones you saw when you were training told me but not the whole story. I just didn't get the right answers so I waited for this day to get the answers from you so then I ask why?", answered Lindsay. The girls then explained everything, Aurora sitting next to her aunt. Matilda added to that "As you know history repeats itself over and over again", she said looking up to her. Lindsay's face immediately changed as soon as she heard about ILiara, she was the one who killed her. She couldn't wait to kill her and to finish them all completely. She looked around and saw how everything was around her. She remembered the day she lost her life. She then told the girls to fly her straight to Atlanta. They walked down the road and luckily found a jet. They tested it, and it was working. She flew it up. "Actually I thought your mother was the one who would wake me as well as your parents but no I was wrong, you are actually all strong enough especially you Elaine and I will have to warn you about a few things", said Matilda mom. She sat them down around her and told them how to fight. The dragon had been controlling the jet for a while. She told them secrets to how to fight the witches. The girls listened attentively. The jets are flying all the way to Atlanta.
