Electra 1 How It Begin - 13 Chapter 13

I don’t know how long I was out for but when I woke up I was back with Vlad. I still had the bracelet on but I also had handcuffs on too. I looked at Vlad and he smiled. There was no mark on his arm and the blood had gone. I wondered if I had dreamed the whole thing but there were some blood splatters on the wall and floor that they had missed. George came in with a knife and walked over to us. I got closer to Vlad hoping he would give a little protection. It didn’t work as Vlad was taken to the other side of the room. I looked at George and I knew he was reading my mind again so I blocked him out. The one thing I didn’t need powers for, mind blocking. He looked angry at me and I turned away and faced the wall. “Look at me Electra. Look at me.” George shouted. I didn’t look at him. I didn’t want to. The first time my family had been together and he ruined it. I was supposed to spend the day with them, have fun, and be a normal family again. Then I could go back to Peaceaver and take the role of princess, for good and bad. Learn the history of my family and the magic that they have. Talk to Blades and see if he was OK with everything. If only life was that simple. But George had to ruin everything. He grabbed my hair and made me look at him. He was going to regret everything very soon. “Get off me! I hate you!” I shouted and he looked at me. It’s like he didn’t care that I hated him and that he hurt me. I looked at Vlad who had just knocked Jonathan out and he was coming to me. He stopped suddenly and I was the reason why. George had the knife to my throat. The steel was cool against my skin and I was terrified. The boy I had a crush on was now threatening to kill me because my protector was trying to protect me. We didn’t have our magic so we couldn’t do anything to stop him. “Why are you doing this? Are you trying to hurt me on purpose?” I asked.

“He’s bad news for you. He can hurt you more then I can.” George replied. “Why don’t you tell her what you are planning?” Vlad shouted. I looked at him for some answers. Vlad was smiling but George was frowning. He let go of my hair and took my arm instead. He put the knife on my arm and pushed. He drew a line on my arm and it hurt a lot. Vlad rushed over to me and took my arm. He ignored George and went straight to me. He took the knife from George and broke his handcuffs with them. He broke mine and used his super speed to get us back to Red Panthers and put me in hospital there. My auntie came in and Vlad told her what happened and she looked concerned. My brothers came in and that’s the last I saw before everything went black.

I woke up the next day and I really wanted to punch someone. If George came anywhere nears me or my family I will make sure he rots in jail. “No worries, we all have your back on that one.” Vlad said. He was standing in the door way looking happy. At last I could smile as well. He came over and hugged me and I didn’t try to pull away. He stayed with me until Loki came in and then he left. I told Loki what had happened and he was very angry. It took me and Tommy to persuade him not to go after George. He was still set on making him pay but not until I could help with the revenge. Flame had heard by now and I had to go and see her. I don’t know who told her but she said she would punish whoever did it. We went to see her in the afternoon. It was strange walking through Peaceaver HQ with Vlad and Cat. They were both wanted and they were the ones that I trusted the most. We got up to the top floor and went to see Flame. When we got there George and Jonathan were there too. I turned around and started to walk the opposite direction. Vlad came after me and stopped me. “I can’t do it, not when they are there.” I said.

“I’ll be here too and we have our magic back, remember.” Vlad replied and took my hand. “Can you do it with me?” He asked and I nodded. We walked back to Flames office and I could see anger in all of their faces. We walked straight in and the doors were locked behind us. I told Flame and Slither what really happened. “I think you are mistaken, Vlad was controlling them.” Flame said. So they had told her a lie and they would pay for that. “That’s a lie!” Vlad shouted.

“Do you want to fight for the truth?” George asked. They were face to face and ignored everyone. I was still arguing with Flame about the truth. “Enough!” Cat said. She took my arm and turned it over to the cut. She used magic so we could see what really happened. Then she did a spell that showed all magic and mind control was magic. No magic showed up and I punched George in the face. “Leave me and my family alone. I’m staying at Red Panthers for a while. I won’t protect you there.” I said and we went back. They shouted for the guards to stop us but Vlad took my hand and we were back in a couple of seconds. We thought Cat was behind us but she wasn’t. We waited for the rest of the day and finally we got a message from Flame. It was a video and we didn’t like what was on it. “Hello, you know who I am and I have someone you want and need.” Flame said and pointed to Cat. She was in a prison and she had no magic. Flame said that if I came to the HQ and carried on my studies there, she would let Cat off with a fine. I took the tape out and shot it with a lightning bolt. I knew no one would let me go back and I didn’t try. My brothers went home to tell our dad what had happened and when they went Vlad told me we can get her back. “Why didn’t you say so whilst the others were here?” I asked.

“Because it involves me holding a knife to your throat and a sonic disturber.” He said and he gave a smile. Even suggesting that would make Loki go crazy. Then there will be hell. I agreed and we went to the HQ.

Vlad squeezed my hand to reassure me everything will be alright. We went to the gates of the HQ and walked straight through. He put handcuffs on me and put a necklace on me. It contained a tracking chip for safety. He got out a dagger and put it against my throat. It was on so softly that I could barley feel it. “Bring Cat out and make the swap.” He shouted out. George came out with Cat and she looked really calm. Vlad pushed me towards George and when Cat was with Vlad he gave her ear plugs. He pushed the button and the sonic disrupter came on. I didn’t try to block out the sound and it distracted George. He came to me but he failed. Vlad had me and Cat this time and we were back at Red Panther HQ. He came over to me and hugged me. I hugged him back and he kissed me on the cheek. “Well done you two. Looks like this week I have nothing to worry about.” My auntie said.

“What’s happening this week?” I asked.

“I’m going away and leaving you two in charge.” She replied.

“What? Is this a joke?” I asked. She shook her head and smiled. I could see that Vlad didn’t know about it either as he was just as surprised. “What do we need to do?” I asked.

“Whatever you like.” She replied and she went off. I knew exactly what I wanted to do. It involved becoming a true princess.
