20 Chapter 19

As I accept my fate and my destiny, the only other question I have for Janelle "Am I the prophecy as well?"

Everyone then stands as we wait for her answer, but before she could answer, I scream. I know it's about to happen, I feel the danger like all the times before, the horrible part I have seen is here, and I have to warn them. "Quickly protect yourselves, danger is coming!"

The room breaks out in a scatter of people preparing themselves for an unknown enemy, as Buford, Janelle, Zaline, and surprisingly Claudette stand in front of me to protect their heir, the noise of fighting outside the door and we are as prepared as we will get.

Knowing my new ability to control other people's magic and make them stronger, I don't think Zaline's will help in a fight, Janelle's will not either, Buford's fire definitely will, but I don't know what his mother Claudette can do, I hope we don't have to find out. The door burst open, and it was not our guards that enter, it was three of the soulless, mouths are sewn shut, sunken and pale faces, of the dead entering with him right behind.

"Hello Adaline, I've been looking for you for a long time my dear..." Everyone is frozen still, the soulless necromancer staring at me, as everyone is staring at him.

With the new woman confidence and a little more superior voice "What do you want?" I ask him.

"I've come for you my dear girl, it's been a long time since I've seen you, I've come to take you back with me"

The others tense up at his words and Buford the protector comes out "You will not take our queen anywhere without a fight" spitting the hateful words at him.

"If you wish, for I shall take my daughter wherever I please" I stood straight as a rod, the others turned between me and the necromancer with fear in their eyes, Buford's terrified eyes never left mine.

"What is the meaning of this? You are the man that has chased my mother and most likely killed her, causing me to be abandoned for my safety from YOU! If you were my father, why has she hidden me from you?"

He smiles a sickening smile "that is a story for another time, my dear, now come before they have their wish".

I don't understand this, but I knew my mother didn't want me around this man for a reason, and I damn sure wasn't going to go with him voluntarily, so I shake my head no "I will not go with you, Fight if you must, but that will never happen, I am their new queen and will protect them to the best of my ability" is the last thing I said before everything went crazy.

Flashes of light started going everywhere, people screaming, fire flying past people's heads, and the noise was deafening. I still had my four new friends in front of me, remembering the dead men cannot die by their hands alone, I grab Buford nodding at him to aim at the men, as the pain started.

I held my ground and aimed my thoughts at them, the pain suddenly subsided as I focused more, and became a silent hum in my body.

Buford's green fire hit the one closest to us, as he evaporated into dust, the necromancer seeing this, showed his first hint of fear through all of his arrogance. Then aiming at the next one, we missed the first shot as he ducked, and then he threw some kind of orange orb at us, hitting Buford in the left arm, barely missing his chest as he cried out in pain.

This time focusing more, I grabbed onto Buford harder and aimed at him again, not missing this time, he evaporated as well, at the same time Buford fell over and blacked out from my surge of power.
