Anya walked around the room dragging her hand along the stone. The room was dimly light with small candles. Anya looked down on Talf who was still asleep. He looked so weak but he didn't act like he was hurt. Anya wondered when someone will open the door, and if everyone was back at the fort safe. Looking down and her brother she promised that no matter what she will not leave him ever.

There was a jingelling on the other side of the door and the magic drained from it. The door remained closed but Latthias' voice could be heard from the other side "If you come quietly I wont kill you straight away."

Anya stood up. "If you promise to not kill my brother then I will leave without a fight. If not..then I am leaving with a bang" Anya spoke strongly.

The door opened and Latthias stood there, he looked really old at that point. He was clean and there were no cuts or anything on him. He smiled at her, an evil smile. He motioned to her to follow him and told her brother to stay. "I wish to make a deal with you Anya. A little....bargan"

Anya stood her ground glaring. "Will he be safe?" she asked. "I will not follow unless I know he is safe."

"We shall discuss him when we talk. Its up to you whether he is safe or not. If you do not come now, he wont." He said smiling evilly.

Anya walked out of the door and followed him slowly. She was shaking abit. Last time she was near Lathias her hurt her and other. But she stood talked and tried to look as if she was not the least bit scared. "Well? What is the deal?".

Latthias looked her up and down "Faelan. I want Faelan" He said simply. "I want you to bring me Faelan, and despose of that basted Balthazar. If you do. I will release your brother. If you dont, he shall rot."

Anya turned her head away from him. "Do you think I would do that? In the end won't we all die? My brother would not want that. But..you can kill me and let my brother free. You know he is weak so it should be a fare trade." Anya would not look at Lathias. He made her sick.

Latthias slapped her hard "I dont want you. I want Faelan!" He spat. Then regained his composure "I will give you a minute to think it over, oh and if you say no, i will kill you, and your brother."

Anya stepped back alittle holding her face. She still didn't look at him. "No." She said calmly. She knew her brother wouldn't want Faelan and Balathza dead. They were better off dead. Atleast then the fort will have a chance. "I will not do you biding."

"Fine" Latthias turned and looked into the room. Anya's brother started rolling around on the floor screaming in pain "Now will you do it? I will torture him till death if you dont do AS I SAY!"

Anya turned to Lathias and shoved him hard against the wall breaking the spell. She held back her tears. "STOP!. I am not about to give in. Nor am I about to stop the fight" Anya growled at him.

Latthias laughed and slammed her up against the wall, locking her hands and feet in strong magic like the one that held the door closed. He renewed the spell. Anya's brother was screaming and whithering in agony Latthias looked up at her "Will you help me?"

Anya closed her eyes tight. "Please just stop! I can not fight them. I am to weak..I will not be able to do it!" Anya tried to pull away from the wall. "STOP!" she screamed again.

Latthias stopped and Anya's brother lay on the floor gasping for breath. "I can help you. You tool. I can give you this" He revealed a shining dagger. "You stab Balthazar and his magic will be completely drained. I almost got him untill that Og bastard stopped me. As for Faelan. Stab him with this" He pulled out another dagger "This one will paralise him. I will be able to do what i want with him. So...are you going to do it?"

"Do you think they will let me just stab them?!? I are you stupid?! They are powerful..they will sense me! I will end up dead and it will do nothing. They won't take in my brother later because they will think he is also against him. Where will we go after all of this?!." Anya was angry now.

Latthias laughed "After all this? After all this there will be no Rebellion. Go into my kingdom for all i care. Kill anyone though and you will die for it. Oh and by the way. I have something for you" Latthias pulled out a little sword and cut her temple. He inserted a little bug in there and closed the wound "Im watching you. Now go and get them. I will be able to communicate with you through this. Go and kill Faelan and Balthazar."

Anya looked at her brother. He shook his head "Anya No! We will both die either way! You can not trust him. Let him do what he wants. It's better to die brave then a coward." Talf looked up to Lathias. "But you know nothing about bravery do you?!..Go ahead kill me. Atleast I will die knowing you will die soon enough" Talf spat on Lathias feet. Anya shook her head. She couldn't bare the thought of her brothers death. She didn't fear hers only his.

Latthias laughed "Bravery! I am brave. I kidnaped Faelan, took care of Balthazar and Fought Og, and i am still standing and what of Them? I took them all on and they had the guts to fight me all at once? tell me, who has bravery?

"Bravery?" Talf laughed. "I call it stupidity..in the end we will win. They still aren't dead! They got away! They always do...you will die. I know it" Talf smiled.

Anya stared at her brother. Anya smiled too.

Latthias thought for a second "Lock him in. He shall never see the light of day agian. Oh and Talf. You and your sister, you shall both never leave the castle alive. And as for the Rebellion, They have already been infiltrated. They will be dead within the hour."

Talf just laughed. "So you think..We won't give up Lathias. You can lock us up..you can try and kill us but we will fight."

Anya sat quietly. She was scared but she knew Talf knew what he was doing.

Latthias thought for a second "Hey Talf, shut up. I will lock you up and you cannot do anything about it."

Anya stood up. "Hey Lathias shut up, You're going down and there is nothing you can do about it" Anya laughed. She was sick of being afraid. If her death was coming soon she should atleast make the best of it.

Latthias shook his head "See Talf, you have made something out of your sister, ill have to fix that" He then turned to her and did the same spell on her causing her immense pain and loss of control of limbs. "Tut tut, Im not doing this Talf, you are."

Anya fell to the floor screaming in pain. Anya tried to get away but it only felt worse.

Talf looked horrifed "STOP! Leave her alone!" Talf tried to grab Lathias arm."You know she is weaker than you!Leave her out of this" Talf shoved Lathias.

Anya was now hardly breathing.

Latthias finally snapped he upped his torture on Talf. He pain was unbareable before was now killing him. "HOW DARE YOU TOUCH ME!" He yelled and increased it even more. He had lost his cool.

Talf fell to the ground screaming out in pain. Anya could feel him dying, the magic between them dying. Anya though she was weak grabbed Lathias' arm. "Stop! Please stop!You're killing him! Stop!" She pleaded.

Latthias turned and pulled his arm away. "And why should i?" He asked venomously.

Anya eyes filled up with tears "because he has done nothing..he was only defending me. It is me you want dead.Please leave him out of this" Anya pleaded.

Latthias growled "Then do what i say!"

Anya pulled out her small dagger and stabbed it into Lathias' leg "NO!" She screamed. Knowing the stabbing would set him back alittle she stood up and pulled out another dagger "Let my brother and I go." she demanded calmly.

Latthias growled in pain and slammed her up against the wall, pinning her arms and legs with magic. He pulled the dagger out with a sickening squelch "You will regret that sincerly" He said in a quiet painfull tone. He then walked toward her. She could feel his rage though her body. He pointed at her carefully and her nose began to bleed. "My powers are very, very advanced."

Anya screamed out in pain. But she knew if she took it then Talf would be okay.Anya slipped into Talfs head "Talf teleport out of here. I know you know how to teleport. The magic in the room is broken for now. If you can teleport into the fort you can warn them. Then they will come back here and save us.Please Talf I need you to do this" Talf shook his head troubled "He will kill you!" Anya shifted abit,her body hurt "Not if I can keep him talking. That is why you have to be fast! Now go. Or both of us will die" Talf nodded and stood up. Staring at Anya and Lathias he quickly vanished from the room back to the fort.

Balthazar appeared behind Latthias, Balthazar put his hand on Latthias's neck. Latthias fell onto the floor withering in pain. Balthazar started to go grey agian "Come here" He muttered weakly. He was using his life magic to keep Latthias down while he got Anya out. Balthazar grabbed her arm and they both disapeared with a bang.
