Book 5: The Rescue

Cerelia’s POV

I opened my bleary eyes to the sound of footsteps outside. I knew they were returning to torture me again, but I had hardly recovered from the previous ordeal. After they left, the pain was unbearable, making me almost lose my senses. Yet I struggled to stay awake in case they returned to punish me. Ever since they left, no one bothered even to give me water. I hoisted myself to face them again. With no nourishment in my system, my reserves were already down. Would I be able to summon my weapons again?

The door flew open just like earlier and this time, all four of them entered my cell. I rose to face them all over again. “Well, bi*ch, are you ready to please us?” growled Dan.

“Never!” I snarled at him, focusing on his mind to manipulate him with illusions.

‘The female has a contagious disease that will kill you. Stay away from her.’ Dan staggered backward while the others approached me.

“Stay back or I’ll rip you apart.”
