Something then caught her eye.
The rock had a large crack on it, but the crack ended at a point; the rock was not completely split. Even though the crack signified how much power was left in the rock, it did not matter. It was still connected to the other uncracked rock, and the both of them were as strong as the original four. Eva just needed to exhaust the cracked rock's power. The other one would be useless without it, and that would be enough for Eva to escape.
Eva found a new sense of determination. She told herself to try again once more. She was certain that her next trial would set her free from the magical bondage of the rocks.
With a pained groan, Eva moved to stand. She swayed, her hands immediately reaching for the wall next to her. Eva groaned as she struggled to fully support herself on her feet. She took a couple of deep breaths as she stared at her one way out of the cell. Then she summoned her powers, focusing them on the cracked rock. An orange barrier instantly appeared as it fought against Eva's powers. With a yell, Eva used more force against the barrier that the rocks instantly placed. The powers of the rocks had reached her, making her scream out in agony as she felt her skin being burnt.
The barrier instantly disappeared, leaving nothing for Eva to hold on to. She collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily as her body throbbed with the impact. She lay for a while, trying to regain her energy. She soon stood up to observe what had happened.
The rock had cracked.
With a smile, Eva looked at her form. The bruises, burns, cuts and wounds she had gained from trying to break out of her magical prison were slowly healing. She raised her hand, trying to summon a fireball.
It did not work for the first couple of minutes, leaving Eva frustrated. She screamed out as she punched the ground. The action itself shook the ground and the building, making the lights inside her cell momentarily flicker.
Eva was confused, and so she raised her hand again. She summoned a fireball, and a green one instantly appeared on her palm.
Eva smirked as she walked around her cell. By then, her injuries had been healed. She extinguished the fireball as she extended her arm towards the wall in front of her. She balled her hand into a fist, and the wall gave a loud sound as it cracked. Eva waved her hand, making the cracked debris fly towards opposite sides, creating a path for Eva to pass through. On the other side of the cell, an alarm was blaring as the guards quickly rushed to the scene.
They all stood still at the sight of Eva. One guard went to throw a fireball at the villain, but Eva was quick. With a flick of her hand, Eva sent them all flying towards the walls near them. The guards hit the walls with loud grunts, some instantly passing out.
Eva teleported away from the prison building. She took a brief glance of her surroundings and gave out an evil laugh. She was free from her prison, and she could once again try to exact her revenge on everyone who placed her in it.
But first, she needed to know where she was.
Eva looked around, and it took her a moment to realize she was on her territory. The Crystalia mountains and her forest had not changed, but she did not spot her castle. In her memory, she recalled the castle being near the spot she currently was. She looked away from the mountains, spotting the building that had once been her home. Her castle was gone, and it had been replaced with the maximum security prison.
In anger, Eva threw a fireball towards it. Flames erupted once the fireball made contact with the building. The flames kept increasing in size, swallowing the whole building. Eva watched as the building's exterior swiftly turned black, and with a click of a finger, the building crumpled into a huge blackened heap of cement.
Once that was done, Eva started pacing as she thought of what to do next. She wanted to exact her revenge. She was still angry with what Emery had done to her, and she wanted her dead.
That gave Eva an idea.
In the blink of an eye, she teleported to the castle. Eva levitated above the building, and she was surprised to see well-dressed witches entering it.
Must be a celebration or something.
Eva levitated around the building after casting an invisibility spell on herself, trying to see where the witches were going. As she moved, something caught her eye.
She approached an open mirror, spotting Emery in a wedding dress. She was with Elizabeth, Selena, an old woman and Ashley.
Eva smirked, but that smirk quickly fell when she realized why the crystal was in a wedding dress.
She was getting married.
But to whom?
"...you think Zane would faint at the sight of her?" Eva overheard Emery's cousin. Her eyes shot up, quickly making the connection.
Emery was getting married to Zane.
She was quickly infuriated, and she almost threw a fireball at Emery. The bitch had been living a happy life while she had been kept in a cell for years!
Eva was really thinking about just throwing a fireball at Emery. But then, she thought better about it. It was not easy to kill a crystal, especially since Eva was alone against more than a hundred witches. They could definitely tire her out and capture her again. She needed help from an outside source.
The right person then came to her mind, and Eva quickly teleported to get her.
***********************************************************************************************
"Enjoy," a gray-haired woman who had worn a hairnet and a white apron said as she placed the green mushy substance called a meal on the tray of the criminal. The inmate scrunched her eyes at the sight of the disgusting meal, shrugging her shoulders at the awful smell as she went to sit beside a couple of women her age.
"Next," the cook said with a nasal voice. Bianca walked forwards, her eyes narrowed in boredom as she waited for her food. The woman placed the food, and Bianca fought the urge to puke at the sight of it. She quickly walked away from the woman as she went to take her usual seat.
Bianca was going towards the back of the cafeteria, her head kept down as she tried to avoid her inmates. Some of them could be easily provoked, and she wanted to avoid the possibility of a fight with them.
With quick footsteps, Bianca reached her table without looking at anyone. She sat on the plastic chair, slightly looking up at her inmates who seemed to be enjoying life better than she was, even though they were all in jail. With a sigh, she turned to her food. She stared at it and decided to stir the food around with her spoon, mentally deciding whether to eat it or not. Bianca's stomach then grumbled as she thought about the meals she had missed. It had been years ever since she ate in expensive restaurants. She missed and wished for the food, but someone had ended her lavish life within a couple of weeks.
Damn you, Emery!
Bianca was still angry with how things had turned out for her. She couldn't believe she was imprisoned and that Emery had been smart enough to find evidence against her. If she had taken Emery's threat of finding proof against her seriously, she could have avoided the mess she was currently in.
Bianca also remembered how Emery had embarrassed her in public. She was still angry with what had happened, but at least something good occurred a couple of years later.
Thank goodness the bitch and her friends are dead, she thought.
A loud blast interrupted her thoughts. Every inmate in the cafeteria kept quiet as the nearest police officers rushed out of the room to inspect the damage. Bianca noticed her inmates looking at each other with questioning looks.
The sounds of yelling and grunting were heard, and every inmate stood to their feet. A woman was soon seen walking into the cafeteria. She had worn a long black dress, and her black hair had been styled into a bun. She had a pale complexion, and Bianca immediately realized who it was.
"Who are you?" one of the inmates dared to ask. Eva turned to face her with a smile.
"None of your concern," Eva said just as she placed her hand on the inmate's head. The inmate gasped as her eyes lost their color, and seconds later, she collapsed on the ground, dead. The others gasped in shock.
"Anyone else?" Eva asked with raised eyebrows at the other females. They were wise enough to stay clear of her path. With a smirk, Eva made her way towards Bianca.
"I need your help," Eva spoke, and that had the other inmates talking to each other as they witnessed the exchange between Eva and Bianca.
"Why?" Bianca asked in anger. "You betrayed me! You used me for your own gain, and then you let me rot in this jail for the last 14 years. Where have you been all this time?"
Eva smiled.
"The witches found out about me, and they had me locked up in a cell. By the looks of it, this prison of yours looks like a freaking room in a castle."
"What is it that you want, Eva?" Bianca asked.
"Zane and Emery are getting married."
Bianca widened her eyes in shock.
"Bullshit! Those two are dead!"
"Oh, please. You know about magic, and you of all people should know that witches don't die as easily as humans do," Eva corrected.
Bianca remained silent as she pondered over Eva's words. She was quickly infuriated when she realized Eva was right.
"They are getting married today, and I need your help to ruin their wedding."
Bianca rubbed the back of her head.
"That is it? What's in it for me?"
"Of course that's not it. You also get to help me kill every single witch in Crystalia. And when we come back, we will come as rulers. You will get to rule beside me."
"I don't want to be a ruler," Bianca spoke with narrowed eyebrows. Eva chuckled as she looked at Bianca.
"I know what you want, Bianca," Eva said before chanting a spell. She raised her hand, revealing unnaturally white sand particles. She blew the sand towards Bianca. Bianca gasped as the sand seeped into her skin, smoothening it and getting rid of whatever wrinkles and pimples she had gained in the past years.
The inmates could only look at her in shock and fear.
"You'll get to remain young for the rest of your life. You will be freed from this wretched place. You will be rich. Also, don't you want revenge on everyone who placed you here?"
Bianca did not need any more words from Eva.
"I'm in," she said. "What do I have to do?"
Eva smirked at her in reply.
Chapter 29
Emery's P.O.V
For a moment, I could only watch like everyone else as Bianca and Eva approached the stand. I was surprised that they had escaped from their prisons, and fear quickly gripped my heart.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Selena asked with a glare
