Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 296 1 watched her face away , back into the trees , before I turned and faced the glass .

I pressed my hands against it , and instead of a solid wall I thought I was going to find , I felt inbush in almost as if it was a bubble .

I forced myself deeper , pushing farther in , causing the bubble to cave in .

Every step I took in the harder the bubble pushed back against me .

It was fighting back , refusing to let me enter , and that just made me question what the hell was going on .

This made no sense .

Toyas defenses were blocking my entry , but that made zero sense .

I wasnt here to hurt her , and even though something was attacking her , her mind should know I was safe to allow in .

That Urbi was safe to allow in .

I pulled back , gathering my strength and my magic to me , and then I slammed against the bubble .

It fought back , pushing be back , but I used my magic like a knife , slicing through the force field and finally stumbling out of the trees .

I turned back and I could see the edge of the invisible bubble ; it was torn and snapping with energy .

What the fuck is going on ? Urbi slipped from the trees .

You did it , you got through .

I just nodded .

Hurry , Toya is fighting it , her , but she is losing .

What do you mean ? Urbi tilted her head .

Cant you hear her screaming ? I stilled , and then I heard it .

No , youre wrong .

She isnt like that .

Toyas voice was ragged , like she had been yelling for a while .

I turned towards the voice and nodded .

I hear her .

I started running towards the screaming .

Im coming .

I called out .

Hoping that Toya could hear me , feel me here coming for her .

I ran for what felt like ever .

Her screaming got louder until I rounded a dune and there she was .

But she wasnt alone .

I stumbled over a small dune that I didnt see and I ended up rolling down into the basin that the two women were in .

I rolled to a stop and hopped up .

Toya and the other women whirled to face me .

You cant be here .

The unknown womans face was hidden .

She was covered head to toes with a dark cloak , but she stepped back as I moved closer .

How did you get in here ? Toya staggered over to me .

You came for me .

She nearly collapsed into my arms .

I was praying to the goddess that you would hear me .

She looked up into my face , her eyes filled with tears .

You finally came .

I rubbed the hair from her face , wiping a tear away with it .

Im sorry it took me so long .

I leaned down and kissed her forehead .

I looked up at the other women .

Who is she ? Toyas breath sobbed out .

I dont know .

She trapped me here .

She pulled away , strengthening her spine .

Shes like a cancer .

Shes kept me here , eating away at me , whispering to me .

I stepped in front of Toya .

What was she whispering ? Toya looked away .

That you were evil .

That you were using your magic to steal our power , draining us to make yourself queen ? I choked out a laugh .

And you believed her ? I looked at Toya , a smile covering the hurt .

Not at first , but she is doing something else .

The more she whispered , the more I believed her , Toya looked away .

Im sorry .

She looked ashamed .

Its okay .

Magic does that .

1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 296 No , it isnt okay .

I should have been stronger .

She met my eyes again .

You are my sister and I have never doubted you before this .

I know .

I smiled , for real this time , and I turned to focus on the woman still backing away from us .

Who are you ? She shook her head .

This is impossible .

Is it ? I stepped closer , and I felt my foot cross over another barrier .

You can throw down as many shields as you want , but it will not help .

She stomped her foot .

This shouldnt be possible .

You arent this strong .

I laughed , tilting my head and lifting my brow .

Who did you hear that from ? I walked closer .

Few people know I have magic , nor my full power level .

But you seemed so sure just a second ago , as if you knew me and my powers are you ? before I came here .

I felt my eyes narrow .

Who ? She back peddled again .

No one you know .

She raised her hands .

Absolutely not .

One second I was back near Toya and the next I had my hand wrapped around the persons throat .

You dont get to run away to try this again .

Deep in the shadows of the cloak , I saw the whites of her eyes .

She feared me .

Good .

How did you do that ? Her voice trembled .

Magic .

Then I pulled down the cloak .
