“You should return back, everyone needs us now.”, One of the protector said to Cyrus.
“I can’t go back, I am tired of the punishment. I just want to experience freedom, they should sort themselves out.”, He said.
“Do you really not care about them? Everyone needs your help, Cyrus this is your destiny and it can’t be changed.”, Another said.
“But I don’t want to go back to that life, I am tired.”, He said.
“You are not dead Cyrus, you are only asleep. You need to go back to save them, they are your family.”

#Next day
“Where is Cyrus?”, They asked Alex who was bleeding profusely.
He has been wounded badly, he was bleeding all over, he would rather die than open his mouth to disclose where Cyrus was.
“I don’t know where he is, I wasn’t able to touch him too and by the time I knew what was happening, he disappeared.”, He said but they wouldn’t buy his lie.
Magnus walked towards him with a knife.
“For the last time, where is Cyrus?”, He asked.
“I don’t ….!”, He didn’t wait for Alex to finish talking before he stabbed his thigh making Alex scream in pain.
“Why don’t you just kill me? I won’t say anything other than I don’t know.”, Alex said and Magnus punched him.
Alex was dipped into the water for some time before he was pulled out.
He was trying hard not to inhale the water but it was impossible.
“Where is Cyrus”, Magnus asked again but Alex wouldn’t stop.
“I will rather die.”, He said.
“Have you checked his family?”, Magnus asked and his guards nodded.
“They don’t look suspicious.”, They replied.
“Lock in back into a cell and if he doesn’t confess before nightfall, cut his fingers away, just make sure you keep him alive.”, He ordered.
“Cyrus where are you?”, Harley asked in her mind but there was no response.
She couldn’t feel anything.

Cyrus slowly opened his eyes and he met a lady dressing him.
He quickly took up, ready to fight.
“Who are you? Why am I here? How are you able to touch me without getting hurt?”, He asked and the woman just smiled at him.
“I am Alex’s mom, he brought you here for us to take care of you. Are you feeling better than? You weren’t breathing earlier.”, She replied but Cyrus still wasn’t sure either she should trust her or not.
“Mom he is alive, I was afraid that you were already dead and some people came looking for you but we had to pretend that you weren’t here just like Alex instructed.”, The little girl said.
“Some people? What did they want?”, Cyrus asked the woman.
“They are bad people, they are after our life and your life.”, The woman replied.
“Since when have I been here?”, He asked looking around.
“Three days.”, The little girl replied.
“Where is Alex?”, He asked.
“He left us, he said that he has to leave. My brother looked scared, can you please protect him?”, The little girl said but Cyrus said nothing.
“I have to go, thank you for taking care of me.”, He said and turned his back to leave.
“Please don’t die and please save my brother, he might be in danger.”, She said.
“We will see about that.”, He said.
“Your sword.”, She said and landed it to him.
“Thank you.”, He said.
“Stay alive son.”, The woman said and that was the first time someone was calling him son ever since his parents died.
He nodded and disappeared.

“Hailey! Please be save for me, hold on for a while, I will save you soon.”, He said.
“Cyrus!!! You are alive, thank you for coming back.”, She said back.
Cyrus entered into the demon world and started attacking them.
He wasn’t using his sword this time around, it was his power he was using to kill them.
Using sword was only going to take his time.
“Lord Cyrus! You are alive.”, Everyone said happily as soon as Cyrus stepped in the place where everyone was kept.
They have never realized how important their heartless lord Cyrus was to them.
He used his sword combined with his power to break the door opened and they all came out.
“Let’s split up to look for the rest.”, He said ignoring what they were saying.
“Cyrus I knew that you are still alive, you probably survived because this betrayal here added a medicine in the drink he poisoned. If only I found out on time that this betrayal wasn’t to be trusted.”, He said as he pulled alex head up aggressively.
His eyes were shut and his face body was filled with so much blood especially his face, anymore from afar wouldn’t even recognize him.
He, ember and Harley was all tied down with poisonous arrows pointed at them.
They aren’t immortal, none of them would be able to survive one.
“If you make one more then consider the three of them dead.”, Magnus said and Cyrus clenched his fist.
Magnus should just consider himself dead if he should get hold of him.
“You are crazy if you think that arrow would hurt me, I was given some demonic power remember.”, Ember said and Magnus clenched his fist.
“At least the other two wouldn’t survive.”, He said.
“Let them go Magnus, please let them go.”, Cyrus said after he calmed himself down.
Getting angry wasn’t going to solve anything.
“Wow!! That is the first please I would be hearing from you, but that’s not what I want.”, He said.
“What do you want?”, Cyrus asked.
“Bow down before me and beg me.”, He demanded.
“Cyrus don’t do it, you can’t trust him.”, Harley said.
Cyrus got on his knees and bowed and Magnus signaled for both Alex and Harley to be shot an arrow.
The arrow went straight into their body.
Cyrus got so mad and he rushed to Magnus and attacked and the fight started.
The effect of the poison didn’t really affect Harley because of the necklace but she felt herself become very weak and she trued to keep her eyes opened.
The other students rushed to release them while some started fighting with the other demons.
“Harley, you can’t die. You have come too far to die.”, Ruby said in tears watching her fight for her life.
Emily just stood beside Alex looking at him in tears.
“After betraying us, do you now want to leave us?”, She asked.
“I am sorry about everything.”, He managed to say.
Cyrus had succeeded in defeating Harley. He got so mad at everywhere became so dark and a string wind started blowing.
Cyrus succeeded in pulling out Magnus heart and he fell dead immediately.
Ember immediately used her power to burn his body, she was very mad that he just used her.
“Harley are you okay? Don’t die okay? I am here now.”, Cyrus said as he rushed to her and she nodded.
Alex placed his hand on Harley and tried healing her.
The other superiors joined too in healing her with their powers and halfway Alex started bleeding through his nose.
“Why don’t you heal yourself too? Do you want to die?”, Cyrus said.
“My powers doesn’t work on me if I don’t put my mind there, I am too tired, I deserve this anyway.”, He replied.
“Are you crazy? Are you out of mind? You can’t just die and escape your punishment.”, He said to Alex but Alex was really loosing his consciousness.
“What about your family? Your sister asked me to make sure you are safe.”, He said.
“Just try Alex, you have healed a lot of people and now you don’t want to heal yourself.”, Cyrus said shaking alex violently, he wouldn’t even be able to close his eyes with the way Cyrus was aggressively shaking him.
“Please try to heal him too.”, He said turning to the superiors.
“It can’t work on him, if he doesn’t heal him also.”, One of them replied.
“Make sure you heal yourself as the superiors do it or else I will never forgive you.”, Cyrus said.
“Is that clear?”, He asked.
“I really can’t…! I don’t deserve to live after everything I …”
“Is that clear?”, He yelled as he cut him off and Alex nodded.
