Chapter 62 {Lilith pov}

The guards threw me in the dungeon and looked the gate. How am I supposed to save Diamond now that I'm all locked up in the dungeon? I know Damian would be mad that I didn't stay putt but I had to, I had to find Diamond and now that I've found her, she's about to be killed.

How do I save her? I can't let her die. She's the new Witch Queen, heck she was just crowned Queen some hours ago. She can't die just like that, when she hasn't carried out her duties as a Queen. I have to think of something and fast cause time is off the essence.

I sat down on the ground feeling frustrated and angry at the same time. I laid my head against the wall. "Getting comfy are we?" A very familiar voice asked. I turned my head around and I wasn't that surprised to see Brandon.

"Did you miss me?" Brandon asked. "No, not really" I replied. "What do we have here? What is a girl like you doing in a place like this?" He asked. "Isn't it obvious? I'm here to save a friend" I replied. "Oh dear, then I must tell you. You're doing a terrible job" Brandon said.

"I think it was pretty obvious but thank you Brandon for pointing it out for me..... Jeez some guardian angel you are" I said as I rolled my eyes. "Hey, I'd have you know that I'm the best guardian angel and I am the best at what I do" Brandon said. "Really?" I asked. "Yes" He replied.

"So are you here to help me or are you here to argue?" I asked. "Oh, I'm just here to watch" Brandon said. "Seriously? And yet you claim to be my guardian angel?" I asked. "Mhm" Brandon replied. "Could you at least help me out?" I asked. "I'm afraid I can't" Brandon said.

"What? Why?" I asked. "Because this is your journey and I can't help you out but I'm here to give you two advice. One. There's a way to help the Witch Queen" Brandon said. "Really? What do I have to do?" I asked. "She would live if only someone would take her place" Brandon said. "Someone takes her place? Who would do that?" I asked.

"That is for you to find out. Two. Don't even think of escaping..... I've seen it in the future. You'd escape, they catch you and throw you back in the dungeon. Trust me the scene goes on and on till eventually you get tired" Brandon said. "What do you want me to do?" I asked

"You have to wait till someone comes to rescue you" Brandon said. "Huh? As what? Snow white?" I asked. "Unfortunately I don't know who that is but that's what you have to do.... Well that's all for now... Bye" Brandon said.

"What? Wait!! You can't just leave me here!!" I said but he had already disappeared. Wait to be rescued isn't my style, I'm breaking out of this place by myself but first I need a plan. I crawled to the gate to see if I could find the keys and luckily for me the guards was sleeping close to the gate.

Thank goodness the keys were in his pocket. I looked around to see if there were other guards with him but he was alone. I took out the pins from my hair, I joined them all together. I put them through the gate to see if it could reach but it was too short. At this point my hair is a disaster, now that the pins couldn't reach I had to use my hand.

I tried my best to reach it with my hand, stretch my hand as far as I could reach and finally I got it, I had the keys. I'm so excited but I tried my best to stay calm so I wouldn't get caught. I slowly brought the keys and I quietly opened the gate.

Now that I'm outside, I tipped toed my way out of there. I breath a sigh of relief the moment I was outside, now I'm off to find Diamond. I walked pass a corridor filled with guards, I had to hold my breath so they wouldn't sense me. Well that didn't work cause the moment I walked pass a flower vase I accidentally hit it and it went crashing down.

"What was that?" A guard asked. "I don't know" Another replied. "Let's go check it out" Another said. I hid behind a door the moment they flew passed me. I waited a little while to be sure that they're gone. After waiting for a long time, I decided to continue my search.

On getting to a particular corridor I saw some guards passing by and I did the craziest thing ever. One of the guards could sense me so I hid underneath a dust and old chair so they wouldn't sense me. When they all left, I walked around as I dusted myself. I didn't quite pay attention so I bumped into someone.

"What are you doing here?" A woman asked. "Oh, um... I am the..... um.... The Queen's new maid" I said with a smile. "No.... You aren't the new maid, you're the prisoner" She said. She tried to grab me but I ran passed her, I ran towards a door but someone grabbed me. Unfortunately I was taken back to the dungeon.

This is the fourth time I tried to escape and the fourth time I've been caught. This is so annoying, I can't escape... Argh this is so frustrating. It looked so much easier in the movies, but now I'm trapped here again.

I laid down on the ground in defeat. I can't believe that I would never get to see Diamond and I would never get to see the sun ever again when I'm looked up in this dungeon. I tried to accept my fate. "Psst..... Lilith..... Are you awake?" A very familiar voice asked. I looked at the direction and I saw Sylvester standing outside the dungeon.

Great, now having the imagination that Sylvester is here. Why can't I imagine Damian coming to rescue me?. "Lilith we have to go" He said again. I stood up straight looking at this person but he suddenly disappeared. I laid back down, then I suddenly heard the gate open.

Someone touched me, I turned around to see Sylvester kneeling beside me. "Sylvester? You're real?" I asked. "Of course I'm real.... What were you expecting?" Sylvester helped me break free from the cuffs. "Wait how did you get here?" I asked. "We're here to rescue you" He replied.

"What about Damian?" I asked. "He's outside, holding them off. That's why I need to get you to him before he kill me" Sylvester said. Sylvester and I left the dungeon, we ran towards the stairs. "Wait!!" I said. "What? What is it?" Sylvester asked. "I can't leave.... Diamond needs me" I said. "You don't have to worry about that. Silver has got that covered" Sylvester said.

"You don't understand, he doesn't know what I know" I said. "What exactly do you know?" Sylvester asked. "That.... that Diamond is... Look it doesn't matter what I know, all you should know is that I need to get to Diamond" I said. "You can't" Sylvester said. "Why not?" I asked

"Because the moment I let you go, Damian would wipe out my entire generation" Sylvester said. "He didn't mean... Sylvester please help me and after that I'd follow you anywhere" I said. Sylvester groans in frustration. "Fine" He replied. We ran down the stairs and we bumped into Silver.

"Silver? What.... What are you doing here?" Sylvester asked. "I'm looking for Diamond" Silver said. "What? You mean that all this while you haven't found Diamond?" Sylvester asked. "What did you expect? This Castle is a freaking maze" Silver said. "I know where she is" I said. "Come on then, what are we waiting for?" Silver asked. "Wait..... I need to get Lilith outside" Sylvester said.

"Damian's too busy right now, so we could do this and get out of here with out him realizing that Lilith's still here" Silver said. "Alright but if Damian asks I'd tell him it was your idea" Sylvester said. I took them to the throne room, Ifound it when I tried to escape. Silver and Sylvester fought our way to the throne room.

Silver kicked the door open. Fairies surrounded Diamond, it felt like they were doing some enchantment. Silver rushed into battle, while Sylvester kept following my every move.... Argh how frustrating. Silver got so angry and I think him been angry made the entire Castle to shake. It was as if there was a sudden earthquake, Silver changed into his Vampire form.

The Castle shook so much that the building began to collapse little by little. Sylvester rushed to me, he gave me a hug to protect me from the falling bricks. "What's going on?" I asked. "Whenever Silver is angry he makes an earthquake" Sylvester said. "Really? Does every Vampire do this?" I asked.

"No..... Every Vampire has a special gift, Silver makes earthquake any time he's angry, Damian releases the demon of war any time he's angry" Sylvester said. "What about you?" I asked. "I have the power to hypnosis people" Sylvester said. "I see" Was all I said. "I have to get you out of here" Sylvester said. "I'm not leaving with Diamond!!" I yelled. "You don't understand, If a single hair from your head goes missing Damian would kill me" Sylvester said.

"Would you stop that already? Damian wouldn't hurt you, trust me. Now all you have to do for me right now is to get me close to Diamond" I said. Sylvester helped me get to Diamond, the Castle shook again. This made me loose my balance and I fell to the ground. I looked at Silver, he was full of rage. No matter what happens he wouldn't stop until he gets Diamond.

The Fairy Queen stood up, she picked up her staff, she said some words and a light came out of her staff. The light went straight to Diamond, I panicked at the sight. I quickly stood up and I ran in front of Diamond. The light hit me, it felt like I was been electrocuted. I could feel my body flowing with raw magic, it hurts so badly. I felt like my body was about to explode.

"No!!! What are you doing!!" Queen Alyssa asked. "You wanted the crystal so badly right? Well I'm giving you a new one" I said. My head is spinning, my heart hurts and for some reason all I wanted to do was to give her what she want. After some minutes of battling, my subconscious left my body.

It was like my soul left my body, I looked below and I saw my lifeless body laying on the floor. I looked at my hand and it was transparent, so this was what Brandon meant by someone taking her place. Damian barged in, he killed the Fairy Queen. He carried my body but little did he know that my soul is no longer in that body
