Now her magic roars out, hurtling away from me at Riana and Bella. Control, my mind while trying to grip the magic, directing it as I wish. But there was no control; her magic radiated towards them, enveloping them with power enveloping me. I heard Riana scream; the inside of my own body felt like it was burning, but I couldn't stop it. Control, scream my body.
I felt her magic fade away as she tried to tighten my grip, feeling it slow down and start to go out. His spell would melt, I knew it, I could feel it starting to melt around me. But if I don't do it now, there won't be another chance.
Just find his soul, my mind, and surrender.
Suddenly everything slowed down. It was as if her magic, which had been flooding from me since then, was silent for a while and looked back, considering. It was as if her magic was asking me what she should do. As if, after I had not tried desperately to control it, the magic was willing to cooperate with me.
Soul, inner. His soul is within us and it shouldn't be. Return it.
A golden mist appeared all around me, obscuring the hall and the people inside, but earlier I saw similar mist appear around Bella and Riana. I faintly noticed the sound coming from the crowd that had gone silent when I realized there was a spell being used, and I heard a soft gasp from where the queen was standing. Good, part of me is built. The queen has seen him. He must know what that means. Yet the rest of me doesn't care about the queen, or the people gathered here, or even Melani who stands just steps away from Bella. I just saw the fog, I just focused on the magic that was hunting inside me, looking for the part that wasn't supposed to be there.
I felt his loss. Not as big as before, but still a feeling of emptiness, a place that originally contained something, and now no longer. I used to want to grab that piece of soul back to me, put it back in the hole it left in me. Taken, my mind this time. It wasn't mine before. Anyway, now I don't need it.
Slowly, the golden fog disappeared, until I stood up while twitching and trembling in the hall. That magic outlay—more than I've used before—plus Bella's soul retrieval, it'll soon make my body tired, I know that. Even so, I was unable to say anything; I could only stare at Riana and Bella.
“ Missing,” Riana said slowly. “ I feel it. I felt it coming out of my body. Something..”
“ Soul,” I said while glancing at Bella. Now it has been twice Riana was told who she is, but then it was taken back. Experiencing it for the first time was almost unbearable to me; I could not imagine what it would be like to experience it a second time.
“ I'm sorry,” I said to Riana, aware that it's not enough.
Whispers sprang up in the first row, where the campus witches sat. Now they must have cast an investigative spell on the three of us. They must have realized who the real princess was, and who she wasn't.
