Chapter 231: Chapter 231 – The Obsidian

Alexander’s POV

This wasn’t my Fia.

This was someone else. This was something else.

It wasn’t my sister. It wasn’t my twin. It wasn’t my best friend and the person I grew up with.

This thing in front of me was darkness itself. It was ugly and it possessed the body of my sister, trying to convince us that my Fia was gone.

She wasn’t gone. She wasn’t fucking gone!

I would get her back. We would get her back.

Her magic hit the magic wall that surrounded us and all of us jumped back. The wall was strong enough to protect us, but I could feel it was weakened by the impact.

Sophia furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. An angry look appeared on her face. She tried again, but her magic didn’t break through the wall.

“Stop it, Sophia,” my mom said. “You won’t break through it. My magic is as strong as yours.”

Sophia clenched her fists. The ground between us cracked open and hot lava came pouring out, making us all gasp loudly.

“What makes you think that you are as strong as I am?” Sophia mocked my mother.

I screamed when I saw her step into a pool of lava. She looked at me and laughed.

“Don’t worry, Alexander,” she said. “Nothing can hurt me.”

Hearing her call me Alexander was like being punched in my chest. It took my breath away and it was painful. She never called me Alexander, not even when she was angry at me. I was Lex. I was always Lex.

Use the stone, Mom. I mind-linked my mom.

I can’t. She said. I need to hit her with my magic. She needs to be weak and distracted.

Fuck. I had to do something to distract her. I needed to keep her busy so my mom could do what she needed to do to take away Sophia’s magic.
