The Seventh Son

COME BACK FOR US

Princess Elsa stood up and helped Darrell up, “Ooh I remember you, you are Darrell, Clarris's pet,”

Darrell pretended not to have heard her, he placed his hand on her shoulder, turned her into a mouse and continued sipping on his wine like nothing was happening.The Dark knight came by flying and stopped when he saw Darrell's figure. “Have you seen a princess pass through here?” he asked.

“What would a princess be doing flying around Deadman's forest alone,” Elder Lee replied.

“Just answer the question old man,” the Knight replied.

“Why don't you climb up and make him,” Darrell intervened

The Knight stared at them but decided to fly off and look for the princess before she got far.

In his pocket Princess Elsa was failing to breath. Darrel got her out and paced her on his palm.

“Turn me back into human form, are you crazy?? Of all creatures you chose a rat!” Princes Elsa said out in disgust.

“A mouse is the only cute creature that could fit in my pocket or you preferred a frog?”

Princess Elsa screamed ,“Just turn me back!”

“Wait wait,” elder Lee intervened, “young lady where were you flying to,”

“Crystal castle, my father is about to get himself killed he stupidly got into a pact with Cleselda. Omen will tear them apart,”

“Oooh s**t!,” Elder Lee muttered to himself.

“And what exactly are you going to do to stop your crazy father?” Darrell mocked.

Princess Elsa ignored him and kept demanding to be turned back into human. “your rat form is perfect if you intend to go into Crystal tower,” elder Lee suggested

Darrell stared up at the elder with mixed feelings, “And who do you think is going to turn her back once I'm gone?”

“Tipical,” princes Elsa scoffed

“What do you mean by that?”

“After creating all this mess with Clarris you opt to run, Coward,” Princess Elsa replied. This enraged Darrell and he squeezed on her tiny mouse body causing her to scream

“Darrell stop it!” Elder Lee yelled.

Inside Crystal tower, Clarris had finally decided to teach Omen modern English. If she was right and he had feelings for her then manipulating him wouldn't be that difficult. He was a fast learner and she had no problem taking him through the basics.

“That's all for today's class,” she said after noticing that it was midnight.

“No no more,” he cried out.

“Where is my body?” She ignored his pleading.

From nowhere he felt a slight headache, he had stayed in human form longer than he should. Clarris noticed that he was now falling to keep his eyes open. 

A knock came on the door and it was Rachel

“Go away,” Omen replied but Rachel kept banging on the door forcing him to open it furiously. Rachel walked in without waiting for permission and went and sat next to Clarris. This excited Omen and he began laughing.

“May I ask what's funny?” A confused Rachel asked.

“Nothing, what can I do for thou?”

“I came to apologise for what I said to you, I was out of order. King Jerald and I started this curse and I had no right to blame you for anything.”

Clarris rolled her eyes, “do not listen to her,” she added. 

Rachel noticed that Omen was looking at something, she looked around but ignored it and spoke, “you have to leave this Castle now, take Lotus and Marcus with you,”

“I leave castle sinks,” he reminded her 

“Yes but we are immortal, we will survive until you figure out how to overcome that Flute,” Rachel replied.

Clarris laughed, “Omen leave and do not take any brother with you, let them burn.” she suggested. 

Omen ignored her even though he did not like Rachel, keeping her and his brothers safe was his first priority, “You will be burning in everlasting hell fire?” he replied.

“Let them burn, they deserve it,” Clariss intervened again.

Rachel moved closer to Omen and held his hands, “yes but we will be fine,” she replied. It was the first time that anyone was touching his skin in human form, it felt different and out of nowhere Rachel began seeing flushes of her past with king Jerald. How she used to lie to Clarris and sneak out to meet up with Jerald. 

Omen pushed her way and she knelt on the floor, “what was that?” A out of breath Rachel asked

“Don't touch me, If thou never crave to see thy evil life” he said to her.

“What? You did that on purpose!”

“No 'tis not intentional yet anyone that touches me gets to see their wrongs,” Omen replied.

Rachel breathed in and her other sons came in and rushed to her side “mother what happened, what did he do to you?” Nephius asked, the question irritated Omen, he was so tired of them being ungrateful and always thinking he had intentions to harm them. The brothers helped their mother up while he quickly shapeshifted into a Pixiu. 

“Woh woh, what is he doing?” Miguel asked

“Marcus and Lotus get on now,” he commanded

“Get on now!” Rachel yelled at the two, “he is coming back for the rest of us, we can not just stay in here and wait for him to sleep. He doesn't have the energy to take us all.”

“No we agreed not to leave anyone,” Marcus replied.

Omen began feeling dizzy, the flute's magical power began taking effect and if he continued losing energy. He wouldn't have any energy to fly them out. 

He grabbed Clarris and quickly grabbed both Lotus and Marcus who kept shouting to leave them in there, and he took off at a great speed.

Even though it was dark outside his white shiny features could be seen and the knights alerted the emperor and began playing the flute loudly. “How is he even flying,” a pissed off emperor asked.

Slowly he began feeling sleepy and began plunging into the hell fire. “s**t Omen wake up!” Lotus Yelled.

“Let him take us to our death,” Marcus replied.

“Focus!” Clarris yelled out but there was no response; he was falling fast.

The two brothers closed their eyes in readiness but Clarris was not giving up yet. She had a score to settle with Cleselda first and Omen was the only one who knew where her body was and letting him fall into an everlasting sleep was not an option.

Without thinking she said, “I will teach you how to kiss,”

At the mention of that Omen opened his eyes and they all felt a little lift.

“After every English lesson we will be having a kissing lesson,” she added

She wasn't sure if it was going to work but to her surprise Omen began flipping his wings and lifted them up. He passed above the emperor and he roared at them and flew away. 

Marcus and Lotus looked back, they could see the castle sinking down in hell.
