' take her back to the dungeon' lord Xavier commanded.
The guard picked up the helpless looking, tired Jayda who was still tied up and took her back to the dark dungeon where she had been held.
' no wait, wait!!. Let go off me. Let me go' she was kicking out and trying to free herself from the grip of the guard.
' let me go' she yelled tears swelling up in her eyes. Adrian looked away. 
' Adrian ! Adrian!' she suddenly started calling out his name. He turned his head away, looking at everywhere and everyone else except her.
In that moment of despair and anger at his betrayal she felt something come alive in her. She snapped. Her eyes immediately glowed a fiery blue, her nails started growing out. It was her first time transforming so it felt painful and new. The guards let go off her as they drew their swords looking at Xavier for orders. All eyes were on here, as she bent over and fell to the ground screaming. They were all concentrated on her, that no one noticed Xavier come up from behind her and drive his sword in to her back piercing her heart and coming out through her chest. The glow in her eyes died, her nails went back to normal, and she started coughing out blood. Xavier ruthlessly pulled out his sword causing her to fall on her face. She stopped moving and closed her eyes surrendering to darkness. The last thing she saw was Adrian's horrified face as he looked at her.
The guards were looking at her lifeless body unsure what to do with it.
' take her away' xavier said.
' let us see if she wakes up. If she does not then she is not the one'
He turned to look at Adrian. Adrian was restraining himself from letting his emotions show. He looked at his father directly without flinching. But no matter how he tried, his father could still see through him.
' escort prince Adrian back to his chambers. And i want him heavily guarded twenty four hours seven. I want men on every corner and side of his chambers. He must not leave his room under any circumstances. I want him locked in and under heavy security'
' father, you can not do this' he protested.
' get him out of my sight'
' what are you going to do with her?'
' i intended to kill her, but after seeing her exhibit incredible talent, i have decided to keep her for other meaningful prospects'
Adrian knew his father was up to no good seeing the smirk on his father's face.
He was looking at him rather confused and scornfully as he was pulled away.
Too stunned to speak or react, he let him self be dragged out and escorted back to his chambers. They pushed him in and shut the door, locking him in. He sank down to the floor , his brain working fast. He needed a plan if he was going to get her out of there and out of mystic world. He knew his father would not let him free until he had disposed of jayda. The thought of her dying made his blood run cold. It aggravated him deeply that he had watched his father stab her. He hated to see her in pain. He was so heartbroken that he did not know and made no attempt to stop the tear as it rolled down his cheek. He needed help, he needed a plan, he needed to get out of here. He blamed himself for letting them capture Jayda. He never should have left her side. He should never have left her alone. He was so angry at himself that he got up and started thrashing his room.
His brother came in to the room, whistling as he saw the mess his brother was making. Adrian's anger multiplied when he saw Jordan standing there laughing at his despair. He quickly rushed at him. He grabbed him by the collar and flung him against the wall. Jordan fell in a heap. Adrian picked him up, pinned him against the wall with one hand while he punched him hard and fast with the other. Jordan who had been initially taken by surprise, got over his surprise after a couple of punches. He dodged Adrian's punch and landed one on his abdomen. He kicked Adrian off as he fell to the ground. Adrian regained his balance and was coming back for another round of blows when Jordan spoke
' don't you want to know what he is going to do with her?'
Adrian stopped in his track, eyes glaring and breathing heavily.
Jordan laughed at his desperation.
' he seems to have some kind of delusion about taking her powers. He has sent for Derek, the wizard. He will be here tomorrow to start his boring magical show. They are going to take her powers and then kill her. so she is going to be alive at least until her powers are gone.'
Adrian was listening attentively now. He knew Derek, an evil wizard who was as despicable as his father. Adrian found it odd and interestingly ironical that he could now differentiate good from evil, that he could even now label his father as evil.
 He had had no other single thoughts, or second thoughts when carrying out his father's desires. Now what he wanted badly was to defy him and get as far away from him as possible. He had been carrying out all those ruthless massacres, conquering other kingdoms in mystic world and enslaving a lot of mystical creatures and now he had suddenly changed and become good?
He needed to save Jayda and leave mystic world and never come back again. He did not even care about the crown anymore. Jayda meant more to him. It felt like history was repeating itself again. This was how her parents died, now she was about to lose her own life because of him'
Jordan stood up and dusted himself. He left Adrian standing there with his thoughts. He walked to the door and then remembered something that he had forgotten to say.
' oh and Adrian, she is still alive. she just woke up some minutes ago' and he grinned wickedly before leaving and shutting the door.
