Xena

I sigh as we three come into the detention room. This is the first time that I have experienced this kind of room. Since I was in grade school, I haven't been able to break any rules in school. I have been a good student. So I am nervous; dad will surely be shocked. Though I'm sure he won't be angry, instead he will say, "At last, you'll live your life.' He would for sure thank these two stupid people for dragging me here.

I glared at them, and they still continued fighting.

Where the heck is our guardian here? What if these brothers were restrained from their nonsensical fight?

"Now that we are alone, I guess no one would stop me from beating you hard now."

Zimon dangerously said something at Seth that made me panic and push Seth.

There's no one with us to help if they fight; they surely won't stop.

"Can you stop this?" Zimon please. Whatever your brother's fault, please forgive him; like I said, your brothers You should take sides with one another. Not like this. Stop this nonsense."

I can see Zimon taking a deep breath and puffing hard.

"This is nonsense. What we are fighting is not nonsense. Do you think that I would be stupidly angry over nonsense?"

I roll my eyes. "Well, as I remember the first time we met, your anger rose up, though I already said sorry. You couldn't blame me for thinking this way."

"Whatever, I guess you were just looking at the other picture the first time we met."

I lift my eyebrow.

"Are you joking? "Is there any picture of how frustrated you were back then?" I ask

"Tsk, you really know how to tame a dragon, young lady." Seth said he would then walk far away from us and sit on the chair to sleep again.

"Come here," Zimon said.

I roll my eyes. "I don't want to sit with you. Who knows when you want to burst into your anger?"

Zimon sigh

"Do you think that I could hurt the person I l... ?"

Seth laughed before Zimon could finish his word.

"Don't dare, brother. You might end up like me."

"I'm nothing like you, Seth. If whatever name your ex gave you left you broken, I don't care. Just don't mess up with mine."

Zimon said

"I'm not messing up with you, Zimon. It just happens that what you want is what I want. Crazy but true."

Seth replied, God, I swear I didn't understand what they were talking about. Yet what is clear to me is that Seth was left by someone.

Zimon rushes toward Seth, and in the blink of an eye, he punches Seth.

"Zimon! no!" I shout. But it's too late; they're throwing punches at each other now.

I panic and run outside for help. I was in the middle of the long hallway when I saw people running outside.

"What is happening?" Yet instead of mobbing outside together to look at what is happening, I rush toward it to find a teacher or seek help to make the brothers stop fighting.

"damn! what is happening outside! Why is the sky so dark? all of a sudden."

I left my eyebrow. What are they talking about?

I saw our new teacher, who sent us into detention, rushing toward the outside.

"sir! "The brothers are now fighting; please stop them."

"wait Xena "There's no time for that; there's something happening outside."

I panicked as the teacher ran and left me stunned.

I was about to run, yet the teacher has already run away, and my chest is getting heavier and the stings are more painful.

"Ahhhh" It hurts...

Someone, please help me. What is happening to me?

"ahhhh!"

I don't know if someone heard me because somehow I heard a voice rushing toward me...

I'm going to fall again. This is too much pain; there's something ripping my body apart. Something is forcing me to come in, yet I don't see anything. My eyes are open for sure, yet I don't see anything but darkness.

Third pov

"Vivian, please take care of my princess. She has to be protected. hide her from our family. I'm begging."

Xellion's voice is too weak, and Vivian couldn't understand her so well. Yet she heard that Xellion was still begging to take care of his daughter. Vivian could feel that her approval was the last thing Xellion wanted to hear to end his suffering.

Xellion wanted to hide his daughter because Xena is his daughter. Means a half wolf and a half witch.

Alexandria is a witch; that's the reason she left her family. She wants to protect their daughter. Using her power, she shields Xena from being detected by any creature from the other side. So Xena could live normally.

What Alexandria didn't know is that in order to protect her daughter, she needed to drain her power because Xena is not an ordinary witch. Her daughter is her heir. Descendant of her, she is the only person chosen to guide souls to the other side. She thought she could stop it from using her power, but instead, she lost her sanity and forgot everything.

"Vivian, I can't take it anymore. My whole body is in chaos. It's damn hurt. Protect my child."

"damn Xellion! I know I promised you I would be good as your wife. To take care of Xena, but you choose not to accept me. Yes, Xena believes I'm her mom, but we both know that's not the truth. And the pain you gave me when we were together was too much to bear, so I left. I'm okay now, so why would I have to face my past again just to help you?"

Xellion's tears fall. He knows he hurt Vivian for not giving back the love that she wanted when they were together because he believes that someday his Alexandria will be back. But now he's about to die. Because of the limit of not having his stone of power in him, which he gave to Alexandria when she was performing a spell to shield their daughter, his body is about to give up. Yet there's no sign of Alexandria coming back. He had no choice but to leave Xena to his wife's best friend. Vivian is the human who loves him, yet he hasn't loved her back.

Vivian will take care of him and Xena back when he is in a mess for Alexandria's disappearance. Vivian gave everything, yet Xellion's heart belonged to his mate forever, so Vivian left them after accepting the fact she wouldn't get the love she wanted from Xellion. But now that Xellion was asking for help, she still couldn't say no in an instant.

Though Vivian already has a new family, Xellion still has a space in her heart that she can't let go of.
