"Elizabeth!" Came a screaming Mazi, running faster than I'd ever seen her run before.

"What? What is it?" I frantically asked getting up breaking the sphere boundary that once surrounded me.

"I need your help!" She cried out with actual tears dropping from the side of her eyes and unto her cheeks.

"What?" I asked her, meeting her halfway, "What is it? What happened? Are you alright?" I spewed out.

"Elizabeth...Sephora..." She heaved out, eyes looking dazed as she frantically searched mine as if looking for an answer.

"What happened to Sephora?" I touched her arm trying to comfort her but she flinched away from me.

"Mazi...what. happened?" My arms dropped down to my side as I looked at her with a serious expression making her focus on me and only me.

"Sephora...she was imprisoned."

"By whom?" I questioned

"The King. She's going to be executed in two weeks."

"What!" I shouted in utter despair and confusion. "How is this even possible?"

"Apparently they had some sort of misunderstanding, and now she might die."

"What kind of misunderstanding?" I said, feeling faint after hearing what had happened.

She was trying to be calm but I could hear the tremble in her voice as she spoke, "That's the thing! No one knows what she did. It's said that she and they were both in a private room together, and all of a sudden he's calling the guards telling them to arrest her."

I collapsed on the grass trying to calm myself down as I looked at the sky as if it would tell me what to do, and give me answers.

"What are we going to do now?" I heaved out feeling some sort of void starting to grow within me.

Forgetting that there was someone there other than Mazi and I, I immediately sat upright startled when I heard Devante talk,

"Why don't we go to the Valeria."

"What!" I cried out in question at the same Mazi shouted "Are you insane!" with an eyebrow raised looking at him as if he were dumb.

"Don't worry I have a plan just...let's finish practice and then go pack," he sighed making a motion with his hands that signaled frustration, "we'll leave in two days. I'll explain the plan when you are done practicing."

"But how will I even practice magic if I can't focus in the first place!"

"Then just go rest or do something useful." He rolled his eyes in annoyance.

I cocked my head to the side while raising an eyebrow in frustration, "Okay I don't even understand you right now, what did I do to you? You've been acting so uncivilized towards me since this morning, so what exactly did I do to?"

He rose his eyebrows at me, looking at me in disbelief as if expecting me to know what I did.

He scoffed, head facing the ground, "You know what," he looked back up at me smirking sarcastically, "just forget it." Then he walked away leaving Mazi and me alone outside.

I looked Mazi with my eyes widened in confusion, and she shrugged saying, "Don't look at me, I don't know what that was all about." Then she walked away too, this time leaving just me outside.

******************************
After a well-deserved bubble bath, and quite a restless night of sleep, it was the next day and I looked like a dead character out of a horror movie.

I groaned and moaned as I got out of bed walking towards the bathroom to get ready for the day. I did all my necessities and got myself as organized as I could even though I still looked sleepy, especially with bags under my eyes. I stood in front of a full-length mirror, looking at myself, trying to decide if I was ready for the day or not.

I wore a baby blue sleeveless romper and black sneakers. I put my hands on my hips, looking at myself up and down, admiring my brown skin, and dark brown curly hair, which was in a bun. Deeming myself ready for the day I walked out of the room, going down the stairs and into the parlor to see Mazi sitting beside the window drinking what seemed to be still hot coffee.

I walked up to her and sat on the opposite side of her, facing her.

"Mazi...are you okay?"

I think she just realized that I was beside her because she looked at me like I just appeared out of thin air.

"What?" She asked obviously not hearing what I said before.

"I asked if you were okay...are you?"

"Oh, yeah...yeah I am."

There was a moment of silence before she spoke again.

"Where is Devante?" She gloomily asked.

"I don't know...why are you asking?"

She looked back outside before she answered, "I went to his room to look for him but he wasn't there."

I blinked trying to figure out how to respond to that, "He probably went somewhere, he'll come back." I tapped her lap in a comforting manner. "I'll go make breakfast, okay."

I stood up walking towards the kitchen trying to decide what to make but before I entered the kitchen Mazi called me back,

"Elizabeth,"

"Yeah?"

"Can you make pancakes, please?" She said timidly in a shy, cute way a toddler would.

"Yeah, sure, of course." I smiled at her entering the kitchen, getting out the ingredients I'm going to use to make the pancakes.

My train of thought switched to where Devante could have gone to, and when he would be back but little did I know that I wouldn't be seeing him for a very long time.
