The Chosen

chapter eight

     Ira kept laughing, until she saw Leila. Her eyes were blood shot and her usually beautiful brown skin no longer had its usual glow. Ira’s smile was wipped off her face, and was replaced with an evil grin. She walked up to Leila, and sat right next to her on the bed.

     “Guess what, Miss Sean?” Ira asked. Sophia could tell that what was coming was bad news, and she also knew that Leila wasn’t ready to hear it.

     “W–What?” Leila stammered, making Ira’s smirk become a malicious grin.

     “I’m going to kill Naomi Greenfield.”

Leila ♕

     Her heart began to race. Naomi and her weren’t close now, but they used to be. They used to talk all the time in middle school, and even if high school had ruined that for them, Leila still cared for her deeply.

     “What the fuck?! Why?” Leila asked angrily. Leila wasn’t very shy, but being kidnapped had made her more shy then she was. Now that Ira was threatening one of her friends, the game was changed. Ira’s eyebrows up in surprise, but she coughed to cover it up.

     “Don’t you know?” She cocked her head to the side teasingly, irritating Leila further.

     “Know what?”

     “She helped us kidnap you.”

     Leila stammered. Her eyes grew wide and she began to feel nauseous. How could one of her friends do that to her?

     “Why?” Leila whispered, loosing the shred of confidence she once had.

     “Leila, God you’re stupid. She’s in love with Noah, and Noah’s in love with you. Simple enough? Or do I have to paint you a picture?”

     Leila shook her head. She couldn’t believe that. She refused to believe that. Leila suddenly got angry, and began to pull at her restraints. Her eyes went black for a split second, but no one noticed. The rope holding her hands to the bed post snapped, and so did she.

     She gained all her strength and burned the ropes holding her feet down with fire that emmited from her hands. Ira gasped, and stepped back.

     “Not so high and mighty now, are you?” Leila stared Ira down. She turned around and fixed Sophia’s invisibility issue, and turned back to look at Ira.

     She was now in her wolf form, growling at Leila. Leila smirked, not least bit intimidated. Her wings were now outstretched behind her, and her eyes were yellow.

     There were many creatures that W.R Thomas High now housed. Vampires, Werewolves, Wizards, Dragons, Mermaids and Mermen, and Zombies.

     Leila was every single one of them.

     She stared Ira down, until she was whimpering.

     All the others backed down, and Leila smiled, because she had won.

Gabe ♔

     There hadn’t been a gathering of all of the Royals since Leila’s kidnapping. None of them knew what to do or where to find her.

     They were all sitting in the cafeteria when suddenly Leila’s soldiers appeared with about eight other prisoners. At least that’s what Gabe thought they were.

     “What are you doing here?” Gabe stood from his seat. “Have you found Queen Leila?”

     “No,” Gabe heard an unfamiliar female voice. “Queen Leila found them.”

     “What do you mean?” Ella asks.

     “They kidnapped me. They call themselves the True Royals.” Leila steps forward and looks over to Naomi, who’s face was struck with worry. “I escaped, but not before they told me who is responisble for this.”

     “Queen Naomi.”

     “What?! No!” Noah refused to believe what Leila had revealed.

     Naomi dropped to her knees, making it harder for the gaurds to take her away. Naomi kicks and screams, but to no avail.

     “Leila,” Ella quickly walks to her side and mutters something Gabe couldn’t hear to Leila.

     “You’re what?” Leila’s eyes widened. Leila gives Gabe a questioning look. He meets her eyes and nods slowly, cautiously.

For now, keep this quiet. We still have to deal with Naomi. He nodded again, and looks over to Ella.

     She looked down at her feet, knowing she’d be scolded for what she had done later.
