Fairy Guardian - Carson Ch32

I could not believe it, how? why? I never did anything to her? Looking around me, it seemed I was in some kind of dungeon. Thick bars were in front of me. The smell of sour milk, urine, and something else. All fowl. 

"Never knew I could flash? Trick I just learned," Anna kept talking and I let her. Did not want to bring any undue attention to myself. Tried to bring my rainbow flame but nothing. She snickers. Looks at me with distain and hatred. Almost sounded drunk. Where am I? Hal? Trying to reach him also but nothing. 

"No worries little rabbit this cage was made by Damien. It's meant to keep anyone from accessing their magic," hearing her words and knowing we are in Damien's castle. Hope clung to me. Very few places could keep our magic at bay. My magic at bay. Hal would figure out where I am. She kept talking but my thoughts were sending panic in me. Since having my magic, I felt more myself. Powerful. Without it make me feel small and vulnerable once again. Keep her talking.

"Why do you hate me Anna? I did nothing to you. You saved me." saying it in a voice not to make her mad but filled with understand. Compassion. Trying my best to keep my anger at bay. She looks with her thick beautiful hair, perfectly manicured nails. and not a touch out of place makeup. 

"Do you know the cookies were from me?" She turned around to look at the other cages. Wait is Mike here? Not wanting to give anything away. "Are you afraid someone is down here going to tell on you Anna?" Laughing with no mirth to it. "No, I let Michael free, giving him a sad tale of woe. Of course, he believed me. Told him I needed him to protect me. You secretly wanted to kill me and was hiding your true nature from all of us." Hands to her breast, Fake show of a drama queen.

Conversationally, she gives me more secrets. Is she telling me because she plans to kill me soon? "Did you know after dear old Queen plopped me in my fairy mother; I sucked her almost dry of magic?" Could feel revulsion. Throat feeling dry. Then more secrets spilled.

"Yes, everyone thought she was having bad childbirth. She lived of course," she said it like life meant nothing to her. This was her mother.  "A fairy must learn about her or his magic to live. I knew then what I must to survive. Fairies have long memories. I was not a fairy, but I was born here and with it some perks." More chills. Not wanting to hear more but wanting to live. Kept Quiet.

"I lasted quite a while from Crimson's contribution. Her Elemental light magic was beautiful. Until I felt my magic start waning. Like a battery that needed another hit or it was dead. Then my brother was born five years after me, perfect timing." Please no. Poor Mike. 

"He gave it away to me. Yes, he was a baby, but he was a giver," whimsical voice vibrates off the walls. Trying hard to keep the contents of my stomach from coming out. Gagging. Made to my noise. She looks at me and dismisses me. Relief coursed through me. Please anyone get here soon.   

"His powerful beastly light magic combined with the royal blood in him, made my veins practically burst with power. It fed me for years. Until once again, it started to wane about a year ago." Remembering she left Damien around that time. I wonder if he knew of her siphoning magic ability or curse. 

"It was time to find my battery again. Went in search for dear brother in the human world. Found him and then turns out my stupid brother clamped is magic down tight," anger now claimed her body. Twisting her hands, pulling on the ends of her hair, and scratching the walls. Cripes. Full blown crazy brain coming. Then her body relaxed like all her problems will be fine.

"Then you came. I knew you had magic when you entered Rock Lake. I borrowed a shadow from Damien told the creature to bring you to me, and it grabbed you. But then you drowned," sighing like it was my fault. "So had to actually save you from the creature. Had to kill it and call Michael in to heal you. Michael such a good little boy, doing what dear old sis wants," cruel grin eats her face. 

Images of punching her repeatedly enter my head. "Then he had to show up." Assuming she was talking about Hal. Thank God for Hal. Where is he?  "Stupid brother of mine and ruin all my plans."

Now walking back in forth in the cramped space of the dank dungeon. "If Hal stayed away. You would have been my personal battery. All I needed to do was tap your magic when I needed a fix. But dear now King, had to keep saving you." Manic laughter followed. Ass was getting sore from the cool dark bench. The smell was really getting to me. 

"Now, with Damien help. I will be able to tap you anytime I want," not friendly grin comes my way. Wait. Damien. Does she not know. A noise is heard near the left. I cannot see anything.

"I think dear sister has a lot to say. Don't you agree dear brother," then Hal walks out with Mike and Damien. Relief is flooding me. Mike comes and opens the cage. Hoping he did not hear it all. 

Just as a made it out of the cell, she flashes me back in the cage with her back to stone wall and shade blade at my heart. "Get any closer and she is dead." Hal is looking ready to kill. Mike is backing away with hands up. Damien looks bored.

"Oh, my dear Anna. When the mighty have fallen? My little bird has finally lost it. Did you think I would not know when someone is down here? Or for that matter when someone leaves," looking over to Mike. 

"How are you here with him? He is your enemy. I have been here for you Damien. Not them. They want to kill you. I have always just loved you," pleading with him to make him understand. As the knife inches closer to my heart. Calm comes over me. As if whatever happens is meant to happen. Close my eyes and really look at Hal. Love in my eyes. 

"That was before dear heart that you told my sister to go into the royal library, and by the way told your fish man to tell the royal authorities she was my sister," no longer bored but borderline his shadow form coming in. Could feel her tremble? Then Damien and Hal move together faster than lightening to grab her save me. They got her but she throws the blade right into my heart. 

Falling to the ground. Eyes closing. Darkness coming. Then nothing.
