No Way Out

In the doctor's office, (the mini hospital room) where Serenity was being carefully watched, Doctor Serantro came into the room dressed in a white lab coat.  

"How is Serenity doing? Have you come up with any resolutions? "

The man was another scientist as well, he had been on his laptop looking over his notes and he answered,

"Doctor Serantro; I am glad you're here. Unfortunately, I I have a few concerns I need to address about Serenity's condition."

"Just call me Jason. Since that is my name after all. So, what's the issue, Carl? This better is good because Shayde won't accept Serenity dying on us."

"It's getting worse Jason, at this rate we are going to lose her. She needs fairy magic. That's the only cure I have come up with, when I studied the poison more, all leads go to that. I know Damon was not intentionally trying to kill her, but he administered poison that can't be cured any other way. At first, I wasn't too sure if I was reading the tests properly, but I am 100 percent sure it's fairy magic she needs."

"Fairy magic? Are you certain? There isn't anything else we could try?"

"Mhmm, without a doubt," Carl said.

Where are we going to get any of that? The only person I can think of is -"

All of a sudden Jason was interrupted, as the door swung open and with a dramatic entrance by none other than Shayde himself. He swiftly clapped his hands and said,

"I could not help overhearing just now, but you found a cure! You have done it, and I am so proud of both of you! I knew you'd be able to find a cure and this is super exciting news indeed. Everything is going as planned and if that wasn't good enough, look what your boss just brought in; which is long overdue."

"Sir? Does that mean you finally have her? You were able to find and capture Crystal Maysh?"

Shayde gestured to one of his henchmen and they pushed me inside the door. I was practically falling to the ground until Shade caught me and gently placed me back onto my feet.

"Whoa, I got you, sweetheart, wouldn't want to bruise your pretty face now, would we."

I am not your sweetheart.

"Fuck Dave! Gentle next time! She's going to be my Queen soon, don't ever do that again." Shayde angrily hissed.

"Sorry sir, but to the looks of things, she isn't your precious Queen yet. Therefore, l don't have to treat her as anything special until the ceremony is over with." Dave sneered.

I did not like Dave.

"Whatever Dave. Just get out of my sight or I just might do something I'll regret." Shayde said slyly.

I could see that Shayde wanted to do something terrible to Dave, just the look in his eyes, they had death written all over them.

Dave left the room in a hurry, I had a feeling he felt Shayde's aura and wouldn't want to piss him off more and I quickly ran over and hovered over my sister's lifeless body.

My dearest sister, Serenity. I am here. I am going to rescue you. We'll get out of this together. I won't let them do anything to hurt you. Trust me, if I have to I'll fight for you. Always.

"See, still alive and now that these two have cracked the mystery and found out the cure, she'll soon be back to her normal self." Shayde triumphantly said.

"Please, how, can I help her?" I snapped at him, not giving a damn about his ego.

"I don't know, I am not a fairy, now am I? No, I am a werewolf the last time I checked. Don't worry my sweet, we'll get to know all about each other soon enough." He answered with a devilish grin.

I looked back at my sister. She looked awful and I had no idea how I was going to activate my fairy powers, since transforming into a wolf last time almost damn near killed me.

I need to save her. She's counting on me.

I took her hand and tried to think of something.

Fuck! Nothing is happening. Am I supposed to enchant words, like I have no clue? No one's ever taught me to be a fairy or a werewolf for that matter. I am so fucked.

"I don't know what to do. My parents were murdered before they could teach me these things! I hissed.

I sure wasn't taught by Elliot, nor did I want to. Not after him betraying my trust this whole time.

"Jason, isn't there anything you can do? Give her an injection, anything that can help her unlock the fairy powers that she has deep within?" Shayde asked, as he looked over at the doctor, then back at me.

So, our doctor was Shayde's spy all along?

Can you believe that? What a lying backstabber. I mean he's supposed to "help" people... and to think my parents believed in this liar. This whole fucking time they had their trust in him and used them for information. To make sure I was properly cared for until it was time for me to be this dude's queen. I just can't believe it.

"How dare you! After all this time you betrayed my parents, as well as me and my sister! We trusted you, and you go and do us dirty. You are a shame to the Maysh's family, I will never forgive you."

Jason peered my way and ignored me as he responded to Shayde,

"Honestly sir, unfortunately, she has to learn it on her own. Just think, if she tapped into some of her wolf powers, then she has the strength to tap into her fairy powers as well. She just has to be in control of her emotions."

Control my emotions, what is he going on about?

I have to hurry! She's slowly dying and even if I have to sacrifice myself, I'd do anything to make sure my sister is safe.

"Okay, give it to me straight. How long does my sister have?" I glared at Shayde.

Shayde glanced at the doctor and Jason piped up,

"By my calculations, not long. I would give her about a day, maybe two tops."

"TWO? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT SHAYDE AS GOES FOR YOUR HENCHMAN, DAMON! I WON'T BE YOUR QUEEN IF SHE DIES!" I screamed and tried lashing out, but his hold on me was holding me was extremely forceful.

"My beloved. You'll tap into your fairy magic soon, I have faith that you will, I mean you have been trying so hard to save your sister, you cannot give up now, especially with your parents gone, you do not want to lose her either." He sneered.

"Wait, how do you know that my parents are gone? Do you know something about their death? Tell me!"

Jason looked over at Shayde as if he was telling him not to say anything.

"Well out with it! I want to know how much you know about my parents." I snapped.

He walked over to me, all nonchalant-like, and leaned over to whisper in my ear,

"I killed them." 

I stared blankly, his answer travelled through my entire body. My veins burned, my heart wanted to burst out of my chest, and yet, I couldn't find the words. I was too stunned to speak, plus his grip on my shoulders was unbearable.

I loathed him.

I cannot believe Shayde was the one who killed them. Why? He hasn't told me the backstory for why he killed them. What did they ever do to deserve their death? I don't know if it's just easier to kill him without knowing, or letting him live long enough for me to get some answers?

He released some of the tension and I breathed heavily, due to how tight his hold was on me, he knew he won. He knew he had me right where he wanted.

I can never get a break around here and I can't even do anything about anything right now! I feel so damn weak!

To break the deafening silence, Jason piped up and said,

"There might be a way to save Serenity, my liege." 

Shayde looked quite amused, still staring at my stunned face, and gestured for Jason to go on with a flick of his wrist.

"Since you refuse to administer your blood in Serenity turning her into a half breed, then perhaps, a kiss. This may sound a bit rough though, as it cannot be from your lips, sir. However, it could work if she kissed your brother, who has majority fairy magic in him, then the werewolf."

Wait? I am so confused? What does a kiss have to do with any of this? Why did he bring up Elliot? What does he mean by the refusal of his blood!? Was he considering transfusion and turning my sister into a half-breed or whatever she would consider being!?

"My brother?! Why on earth would I, king Shayde allow that to happen? Especially, since Crystal is my beloved Queen-to-be." Shayde said angrily.

"It might save her sister. He could help Crystal tap into her fairy magic with a kiss. He has a little fairy in him and I have heard from legends, that it's possible to do that. We could give it a try. I don't like the idea any more than you do, but we are running out of options, sir." Jason replied.

Kiss Elliot, that is preposterous. There is no way I will do that, but if it saves my sister, I might have no other choice.  

"This is outrageous! Even if I succumbed to this heinous idea. I doubt my brother would ever commit to helping us. Why would he? I mean, knowing Crystal practically hates his guts; poor guy."

Elliot would never agree to do this. Like Shayde said; well, I don't think Elliot would. I wonder what mom and dad would have said about this? Perhaps, I wouldn't be in this predicament if they both were still alive.

"Besides, my henchmen have probably already arranged him to be brought here to be executed. That would be dumb of me to have him get close to Crystal, yet, alone kiss her." Shayde huffed.

"Crystal... Crystal... please help me. It is so cold, and dark, I do not want to die here." A soft voice cried out in my head.

Serenity! It was Serenity's voice just now, it just had to be. If only I knew how to send a signal back, but I don't know how to.
