The Destined Queen

Chapter 38

"So, What's the plan?" I asked." We take Isaac. And we play out as we planned. This time, Isaac won't pretend to give his soul. We will just play like Trevor wants us to." Neil said. " Yes. Neil is right. Luthanion, and I will go there with Isaac. And others should go somewhere else. I have a feeling that Rose isn't there with Trevor." Emerson said. And they went off. This time, I am left in the apartment with Ashten. He hugged me for a while. When he broke the hug, I asked, " Do you think she will be alright?" "Yes. She is alright, Winter. And Rose is brave. They can not do anything to break her. I promise. And they will find him soon." Ashten said, kissing my temple. Though his words seemed convincing, I had a bitter feeling. I tried to send those thoughts away and hugged him again. 

*Emerson*

Luthanion, Isaac, and I entered the club. Like other clubs, this was also booming with music, and the smell of alcohol was strong. The mirrorball above our heads was, as always shining. So delicate, so fragile, but still so high, and beautiful. We walked to an empty seat. And we waited. 

After a while, Trevor came out with his buddies. They came out of a room as Gustin told us. Why do these clubs have secret rooms? And why do no humans come out of these? There was one man with them. The one who will supposedly give his soul to them. Trevor sat down with his buddies. He was in human flesh. We used Achily powder on them as soon as they came out of the room. Luthanion and I blew the powder in their direction when they were coming out.

 Suddenly Trevor's head snapped towards us. And his eyes moved to Isaac's. And it narrowed. He excused himself and walked towards us. "Hello, Boys." He said, smiling. " Hi, brother." Isaac greeted. " Came to rescue your little girlfriend?" Trevor asked, sitting on the seat. " Yes. Where is she?" Isaac asked. Trevor shrugged, smirking. " What do you want, Trevor?" Isaac asked. "I wanted your soul. I wouldn't have done anything to your pretty redhead if you have given me our soul." Trevor gritted out. Isaac was silent. "But you betrayed me," Trevor said bitterly, crossing his ankle over his knee. " You planned to betray me too, Brother. You didn't bring Rose with you. Why?" Isaac asked. Trevor flinched a bit but composed himself again in a calm posture. " Kingmas wants her now," Trevor muttered. My head swam with worries. "What?" Isaac snapped as he sat upright. Even Luthanion stiffened beside me. " What do you mean 'he wants her'?" Isaac asked. " He likes her okay? I captured her, and now he likes her and wants her. So, yeah, even if you had given your soul, I would have been unable to give Rose to you." Trevor said, looking anywhere but at his brother. Isaac punched him in the abdomen. Trevor crouched down. He is in the human body, he can't be killed but he can be hurt. He will feel all the pain that the human is feeling. And Isaac hit him continuously. Everyone stopped dancing and looked at the men. Trevor started to hit him, too. But Isaac was strong. He hit harder every time. " Why? Why? Why?" Isaac shouted as he hit him continuously. " Don't you think you should stop them?" Luthanion asked me, raising his brow. I gulped and nodded. " Isaac," I shouted. But he didn't stop. I couldn't use magic. Humans were there. So, I stood between them. "Isaac. We need to go, and need to find out how to free Rose." I tried to bring his attention to our present situation. Isaac slowly looked at me. "Let's go," I repeated. I stepped aside to let him finish talking. " Where is the Kingmas?" Isaac asked his brother. "I don't know," Trevor replied. " Let's take it to the room," I suggested. And surprisingly Trevor nodded. 

We went into the room. No one followed. " Where is the Kingmas?" Isaac asked once more. "I don't know." Trevor looked at his brother and said. Isaac punched again. But this time, he hit him once. "Where is the Kingmas?" Isaac repeated his question. " I can not tell you. He has bound me to him, Okay?" Trevor shouted this time. Isaac scowled. "What nonsense are you talking about?" Isaac asked, frowning at his brother. "If I tell you where he is, I die. It means I won't exist." Trevor said, looking at his brother. Isaac understood and stopped only for a few seconds. " I don't care. It is your fault. You took her. You could have just taken me. But instead, you took her. She was your responsibility. Now, tell me where is she?" Isaac shouted. Trevor's face paled, and he backed away one step. " Where is she?" Isaac asked again. " I can't tell you. I am sorry." Trevor said, and then the human body fell face first on the floor. Isaac jumped back. Trevor was gone. "He got away. Now, we will never find her." Isaac whispered, slouching on the floor.

" What?" Winter gasped after listening to Trevor's claim. Gustin held Isaac's collar, and shouted, "You did this." Gustin punched him until he bled. And Isaac took all his punches. I was sure he didn't hit Gustin because he wanted Gustin to hit him. Because he thinks it is his fault. "Gus!" Ashten shouted. But this time, Gustin didn't listen to his best friend. In seconds, Gustin was in the air. Neil's hands were raised. "Put me down, Neil," Gustin shouted. " I will. If you promise not to kill this boy," Neil said, calmly. " I will kill him. It's his fault. HIS f*****g fault. He should have been there with that bastard. Not Rose. NOT ROSE." Gustin shouted and threw his hands and legs as if swimming in the air can bring him down. " Fighting him won't get us closer to Rose. Do you want to fight and risk Rose's life more? The more you fight, the more you lose time to rescue Rose. Now, what do you prefer?" Neil asked, looking up at Gustin. Gustin slowly stopped struggling. " Put me down," said Gustin quietly. "Very well." Neil put him down, He was confirmed by hearing Gustin's voice that Gustin won't hurt Isaac anymore. " So, what should we do now?" Luthanion asked, as soon as Gustin was put down by Neil. I was surprised he was curious. And then everyone looked at me. " I don't know, "I whispered, looking at the ground. 

Winter flopped on the sofa. Ashten hurried to her. " You got nothing?" Neil asked me, quietly. I shook my head. He patted my shoulder and sat on the chair. Everyone took a seat. Even Gustin. " We can't give up." Winter's voice trembled. " The only way to find her is to find the Kingmas. Which seems kind of impossible." Austin stated the fact. " Nothing is impossible. We have to find Kingmas. We have to find him." Gustin insisted, his fists opening, and closing. 

The night went by but no one came up with an idea on how to rescue Rose. How could they? When they don't have any clue? Gustin stomped off to god knows where. Ashten took Winter to her room, and Isaac muttered something about headache and went to the room given to him by Winter. " I think we should seek help from Jacob," Aaron said, when Neil, Austin, Luthanion, and I were alone in the hall. " I don't think even HE can come up with something. Because he doesn't know anything about The Kingmas," Austin said. " I should ask my king, then. He might know something." Luthanion insisted. " I don't think anyone knows where he is. He is different. No King of any realm would capture a human girl. Not even the Devil himself. They have far better things to do. Some of them hate the sight of human beings, and some are nice, so they won't kidnap anyone." I said. " What do you think he is then? If not a King of any realm?" Neil asked. " I don't know. I don't know." I murmured, pulling my hair.

*Isaac*

This is all my fault. MY FAULT. I should have contacted Rose, and told her everything. I should have told her to be safe. That there are some demons and other evil souls who might take her away. And I should have given Trevor my soul. Then he wouldn't have taken Rose away. I hit the wall with my fists, which were dripping blood? The white wall has turned red where I have been hitting continuously. But I didn't stop. Not until he arrived. Trevor lounged on my bed. He looked exhausted. " What are you doing here? Do you want me to call Emerson or anyone else??" I snapped. He is lucky I can not touch him. Else he would have been dead by now. " I.. I.." Trevor opened his mouth, and closed it, opened it, and then closed it again. " What is it?" I snapped again." I am sorry." He said, looking at the wall which was messy with my blood. " Why? Do you think you did something?" I asked, calmly. "I did lots of terrible things. But I regret one. Where I hurt you most. I didn't want it. I am sorry." Trevor's red eyes found mine at last. I was quiet. So he continued. "I can not tell you where the Kingmas is. But I can tell you where Rose is." Trevor said. My heart leaped at the information. "Where is she? Why didn't you tell us before?" I asked, getting close to him. " I am sorry. I should have told you before. But I thought I was bound for that information, too. And I really didn't care. But now, I have understood my mistakes. And I want to help you as much as I can. She is not with The Kingmas. She is somewhere else. To train." Trevor said. " Train for what?" I asked, my brows furrowing. " Train to become his Queen. I mean, He will take her soul away, and make her ruthless. He will make her like him. So, she is training. Training to fight. To be by his side. More like, to be his personal servant." Trevor said. " Tell me where is she kept," I asked. " She is with Siana and Sardova. In the Shadow Realm." Trevor said. " What is a shadow realm?" I asked. "Ask your friends. They would know." Trevor said and vanished. I ran downstairs to inform Emerson and the other damned souls about it. I couldn't believe that Trevor was helping me. At first, it came to my mind that he might be lying. Bu... But My heart is saying otherwise. I think he is telling the truth. I think that Rose is in the Shadow Realm. And we can save her. Before The Kingmas takes her soul away. So, I didn't stop until I reached them. Emerson looked at me with tired eyes. I am not sure if the damned souls felt tired. Or felt anything. " I think I might know where she is," I said. And He stood up from his place with lightning speed. 

" Where?" Emerson asked. " In the shadow realm," I said. Neil frowned at me. In fact, they all had sour expressions on their faces. " What?" I asked. " The shadow realm isn't a place where we can go easily. But tell us everything. What do you know? And how. And Aaron, Call others. " Emerson commanded. Aaron vanished within seconds to call others.
