Tine was shocked as Nutaila was explaining everything to her all of them were there.
"I heard what you said, but it's my daughter whom we are talking about here"
"I know sister but we have to find a better way to get her, for now we don't have any other option" Caroline said to her.
"Every second we wait, every minute we waste they are torturing her" Suddenly her eyes turned into green. All of them were shocked.
"Tine, are you okay?" She started hearing people from a distance as how they talk, how their heart beats. She hears the sound of birds.
"What is this? Why am I hearing this?" Tine was asking
"It's a super hearing you will get used to it"
"Someone is coming" Tine turned her eyes back to normal. The door was opened Ishaly walks in with four panthers.
"So you are awake, I wonder what you guys are doing here" Tine was very angry at her.
"Is that why you came? To find out what we are talking about? I like your bodyguards by the way. Didn't know you have to take any" Salwa spoke Bellamy walked away without looking at her.
Later on that night Jason was walking in the village panthers were guarding everywhere.
He was going outside the gates but he was stopped with panthers.
"Rules state no one is allowed to go beyond these gates alone."
"Well I'm just a normal human being" Jason spoke back.
"That makes you even a great target, we can arrange an escort for you"
"No need I will head back" Jason turned around and walked back he inside his house there was Harry and Bellamy.
"You're right, it's to tight to go out"
"Great now we are prisoners in our own village" Bellamy said.
"I have an Idea, Jason you have to talk to Ishaly" Harry said
"And tell her what exactly? She's just a zombie like the rest of them" Bellamy said.
"Harry is right, I have to try and talk to her" Jason spoke
"Good luck with that" Bellamy spoke while heading outside.
Nutaila was with Tine she was teaching her how to control her powers.
"Amazing Tine, you passes 4 test very quickly"
"So we go for the 5"
"No, we cannot transform here, the place is too small and they will know if we use our powers her" Nutaila said
"Then we fly away somewhere in the woods" Tine was so eager to learn.
"You want to sneak out, I know a place" Nutaila took Tine away they were walking in the village very quietly heading outside. Belle was on the roof watching them. Two panthers were at the corner heading to them without them knowing. Belle (howls) The panthers turned around, Nutaila and Tine managed to pass Nutaila turned into a hawk and carried Tine away.
They flew away to the woods and landed down.
"Okay we have to do this hurry, I need you to focus Tine" Tine turned her eyes into phoenix but she couldn't transform completely.
"I can't"
"Yes you can, you have to believe it, take a deep breath, let your mind and the phoenix's sync together. Don't fight it" Tine tried like three times and still nothing.
Nutaila punched her hardly on the face Tine was hurt.
"Ouch what was that for?"
"You know trying to get that phoenix out from you"
"It won't work"
"Well it will" Nutaila turned into hawk and carried Tine up on the sky she was flying very high.
"Nutaila What are you doing?"
"Believe in yourself" Nutaila shouted
"No no" Nutaila letted go of her Tine was falling down screaming she was falling very fast. Nutaila was up staring at her.
"Come on girl, you can do it" Tine was almost near to the ground she closed her eyes the moment she wanted to fall down she turned into a phoenix and flew up high she was very fast heading up.
"Yeah that's my girl" Nutaila spoke she goes to her and flew by her side.
"This is amazing wow" Tine was surprised and very calm.
"I told you, you were just afraid of nothing" Tine started spinning around she was very happy for second. While they were up flying they felt something bad as they land down to the ground and hid behind the trees.
They were smelling blood and corpses the smell was very bad. They kept walking slowly towards the smell. They saw the pit full of corpses. Women children men and elders.
"Oh my God what is this?" Nutaila jumped down to have a better look she was searching their bodies to find anything. They saw their necks were bitten, their thumbs were taken all of them. Nutaila was shocked seeing that.
She flew back up to Tine.
"What happened do you know something?" Tine asked Nutaila.
"Long time ago there were reapers, they're human but their mind is like a zombie. They torture people kill all of them they have no mercy. They absorb blood until they kill then they only take the thumbs."
"Why do they need human thumbs?"
"They are collecting for someone, you see the reapers once were human beings just like you and me, They used to live happily with their people until one day they refused to join alliance with Elves. One night their village burned down and their women and children killed. Men were taken they were used to some kind of project. The Elves turned them into reapers and made them work for them. They kill and collect thumbs to the Elves."
"Are they strong?" Tine asked
"Believe me just hope that you never cross sides with one, because what one sees every one of them sees. They are ruthless and stubborn"
"But where were they all this time?"
"I don't really know but we have to get out of here while we still can because who ever did this is not far" Suddenly they heard a voice of a young girl screaming not far from where they were. Tine turned into phoenix and Nutaila into hawk they flew away following the sound. They landed on the tree they saw a small girl surrounded by reapers they were shocked.
