When Laurel woke up, she found herself inside a chariot with all the others, still tied up. Laurel looked outside and saw barren land.
"Nothing is out there! Where are they taking us in this horse chariot?!",she asked
No reply came.
"To the queen ofcourse",said Scarlett boringly
Laurel frowned. "I didn't notice you were still here"
"Now you do"
"Why are they taking you?"
"Well....they either don't know I dont have any powers or they just like to torment people"
Laurel snorted. "Tell me about it....my hands are starting to pain real bad now from being tied up"
"Yeah same here"
Natalie, Mick, Helen and Bennett were still unconscious.
Zane got a tickling sensation he usually got when he was trying to transform. His powers were coming back and he tried harder and his claws came out.
His hands were tied behind his back so no one could see it. He cut the ropes tying him and set himself free. He did the same with the ropes tying his legs
It took a couple of minutes for the others to notice that Zane was free.
"How on Earth did you do that?!", whispered Laurel
"I ...uh...I just did",said Zane
"Come one set us free now!",said Laurel. "These ropes are blocking my powers!"
Scarlett and the others looked at him expectantly too.
Zane couldn't just pull out his claws infront of them and set them free. Zane hesitated.
"What happened?",asked Derek angrily. "Set us free, will you?"
"Are you having second thoughts about freeing us Zane?",asked Laurel
"No no that's not the matter", whispered Zane
"Then God damn it, free us!", shouted Scarlett
Zane nodded and said,"Okay but you need to close your eyes first"
"Why?"
"Because... ummm... because if I show my powers...it could blind you"
"Are you trying to say you are so magnificent?",asked Laurel
"No...I kind of radiate some light",lied Zane
Laurel frowned. "What the hell are you talking about?!"
"Do you guys wanna be freed or not?!",shouted Zane
"Okay weirdo calm down",said Laurel before closing her eyes and everyone did the same.
They all closed their eyes and Zane made sure to check their eyes were closed before he could transform his hands into claws. He freed everyone and asked them to open their eyes.
Laurel opened her eyes and said,"Let's get out of here, these people talk about kingdoms and queens and things that don't even exist now, let's get out before they either kill us or make us go insane too"
She immediately opened the curtains of their chariot and Laurel gasped. "What the hell?!"
"What happened?",asked Zane and they all went to check .
It were shocked.
"This can't be", whispered Laurel
"Laurel, are you creating an illusion?",asked Derek
"No",she breathed. "This is real! I can sense it!"
"How can it be possible?! We....we never knew it was here. It...it's a dream",said Scarlett
They all stared out of the chariot and just gaped at the scenery. Just moments before, Laurel had seen nothing but barren land but now it was a beautiful kingdom. Just like the ancient ones in the movies. Women were walking down the street wearing gowns and clothes of the ancient times. It looked peaceful and there were trees everywhere, tiny houses ,big forests, horses, small shops, children running and playing, people selling their stuffs. Young men and women riding their horses. People sitting under trees and the biggest castle in a distance.
"Did we just suddenly enter the Victorian era?",asked Scarlett
The chariot stopped infront of the big gates outside the castle.
The big man appeared infront of them and frowned. "Y'all have already freed yourselves...wow, you all have some pretty decent tricks up your sleeves"
"W- where are we?",asked Emily
"Well, you are under the protection and in the kingdom of Queen Kendra Monroe. The queen of the kingdom of Helmfirth"
