I know I haven't updated since forever and a half ago but this is the final chapter because I hate leaving things unfinished. I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 11- Prophesy Fulfilled
Payton's cab pulled up to the castle as the Sibunas ran up the stairs leading to the highest tower.
Payton paid the driver and helped support a wobbly Helen. The pair walked to the entrance before Payton decided it'd be easier to carry her.
Higher up, Rufus gagged his prisoners and hid so that when his guests arrived he'd be concealed.
Victor led his followers to King Louis the Third's castle hurriedly, they had to get there and stop Rufus from taking all that power for himself. Joy rushed with them, her revenge was close, she could feel it in her very being.
The Sibunas burst into a large room where in the middle sat Nina and Brian, gagged and trying to shout and shaking their heads fiercely at their friends. Fabian and Amber immediately went to them and began loosening their gags. The rest followed behind.
"Trap," Nina gasped.
Everyone turned to see the door closed behind them and Rufus standing there triumphantly. "Now, we're going to go about this nice and easy, if I've never met you move next to the window," the newest members complied.
"You can finish untying your friends, I mean them no harm," again his orders were filled without complaint. "That's very good. Go join your friends please, except you Nina. Stand over by that other wall there. Good, you're all going so well. I believe our other guests will be arriving momentarily. Until then let's all just sit tight okay?"
They all just glared at his victorious smirk. Several seconds before the door opened again to reveal Payton and Helen.
"Helen, how good to see you again. Life treating you well? How is my favorite little assassin?" All eyes snapped to Helen who in question stared him down.
"Screw you, you manipulative, oversized, despicable, toad!" she growled, her strength returning with her anger.
Rufus just laughed manically, "You over there with your sister, lover boy with the rest of them." They did as he demanded.
Minutes passed before Fabian finally exploded, "What are we going here! What do you want anyways? What's the point, no matter what it is you'll lose, you'll always lose."
Rufus smirked again, "That's where you're wrong, I won't lose, not again and certainly not to a bunch of children. But to answer your question we are waiting for the Victor and his puny Society to show up, along with the final sister."
On cue Victor and his posse made their appearance along with Joy.
"Great! Now we're all here together isn't this wonderful? Joy next me please, you've been a wonderful help to my cause, and the rest of you can stand over there. Yes! Perfect!" Rufus grinned crazily as he surveyed his captives.
Nina and Helen stood stock still glaring while Joy quivered slightly behind him. Victor and his rats stared disbelievingly with their mouths open like idiots. Amber and Brian clutched each other, each male trying to give their girlfriend as much comfort as possible except Fabian and Payton who could only stand there helplessly.
Basking in the brilliance that was himself, Rufus directed the sisters to stand inside the circle he'd made earlier on the floor, and hold hands. Then, without further delay Rufus began to chant. "Mica maca tino duale rumsi posnic valla, mica maca tino daule rumsi posnic valla," he muttered.
The sisters began to glow an eerie yellow as Rufus began to pick up his incantation.
"Let the scales be tipped! Let the heavens rain fire as the Guardian, Gate, and Key join as one! Let the scales be tipped! Let the heavens rain fire on this mortal world!" he shouted, by now a slight tremor could be felt and the slight yellow glow increased in magnitude.
Not a soul could move as Rufus continued the ritual. Then, as the bright light had reached its peak-
A battle cry sounded, the connection was broken, a sister collapsed in heap on the floor, screams of terror wrung out, an anguished yell omitted, and then silence.
Everyone focused in on Patricia standing above Joy, a shard of glass clutched in her fist. Helen was on her knees crying over her sister's limb body while Nina tried her best to comfort her. The prophecy had been fulfilled; the Guardian locked the God's wrath away in the Gate who the Key lost in heartbroken tears.
It was over, it was finally over.
************************************DANCE (next day)***********************************
"She's gone Jordan," Helen whispered once they'd finished getting ready and were sitting on their beds.
Jordan sighed, "I know, and it's hard but you'll get through it, I know that you will. You've got all of us here for you, just say the word." Helen nodded, smiling at her best friend.
Jenna poked her head in, "Time for us to blow those boys away!" They grinned and all the girls waited at the top of the stairs.
They walked down together and stood by their date. Jenna and Alex both grabbed onto one of Alfie's arms, Jordan and Tyler, Braxton and Nikkie, Emma and Mark, Payton and Helen stood next to one another.
Meanwhile, at the Anubis House the boys stared open-mouthed as their dates walked down the stairs, they were stunning.
Jerome and Mara stood side by side along with Amber and Brian, Josh and Patricia, Nina and Fabian were making puppy eyes at each other while Mick stood by himself.
At the dance they all laughed and danced, enjoying themselves. After all the horrors they'd seen they were finally just teenagers tonight.
Looking down at them from up high Joy smiled, finally she'd gotten something right.
Like it? Pictures of the dresses are on my profile I didn't want to spend forever describing them and such. Comments are much appreciated!
