“Why did you attack me? What did you gain from that?” Michael questioned; his scowl moulding into a sadistic smile.
Elika pushed her back further into the wall, hesitantly backing away as she spoke; her tone seemingly level. “I ... I wont allow Hades to experiment on me again.”
“Are you in any position to argue? Your uncles will not allow you to defy them.” The dark lords comrade chuckled, taking a step towards her.
“But what they do is wrong! All Hades has done for weeks is snap and twist my bones over and over again! Forcing me to take drugs and injecting me with painful substances. I cant take it anymore!” the princess screamed, continuing to back away from her uncles comrade as he advanced on her; her fear only increasing. She needed a way to escape, somewhere that she could run to; but where? Who would take in Atlas only daughter after all he had done? All he had forced the people to endure.
“Don&
The psychopathic lord concealed his handcrafted katana as he removed it from the sheath within his leather jacket, carefully positioning it at his side. He smiled manically when Michael prevented the girl from retreating, the fascinating blue aura that pulsed across her chest slowly receding; as though it knew the damage it had caused. Darkous slowly lifted the magnificent sword, ensuring that his niece would remain unknowing of its existence until it was too late. Snarling in a manner that resembled that of an animal, the psychopathic lord brutally slammed the handle of his katana into the side of her head; a sickening crack stretching throughout the hall. Perhaps I used more force that was necessary, he chuckled within his mind, knowing that his brother was barrelling back down the hall towards him; growling in anger. The little princess eyes widened for a short moment before she tumbled into the ground, blood oozing from a wound in the side of her head.No ma
And he knew that she was less than innocent, her newest ability causing destruction as she defied all that they had taught her.Why could the girl not learn? Not follow his every command without argument? Surely she would have realised that things would be easier for her if she did, that her pain would lessen. Yet, she persisted in disagreeing with the psychopathic lord, in breaking his rules and fighting against his commands. And for what? So she could be tortured and injured once more? Show no mercy as she forced him to take action against her defiance?Darkous scowl returned as the demonic creature began to stir within his mind; its tone sharp and gravely. “They are all fair points, boy. But what of that strange aura? I could feel the power from my place within the dark corners of your mind; she is getting stronger.”“She is indeed, I fear that she will remain disobedient and irritate me further; her powers are too unstable. I doubt that she
The dark lord tilted his head to the side, rushing towards Elika with precise speed and aim; stopping only inches away from her as he spoke. “I only give people the truth; they do what they wish with it. I do not influence what they do with the information at all. Yes, I am a monster, but I am a monster with morals and ideals; not just a creature with the lust for war and death. You need to understand that not everything is in black and white; you need to find the hidden messages in everything that goes on in life. An example is why you are here or your mother. Instead of allowing your hate to cloud your judgement and make you blind to the real world, you must search for the things that not everyone can see.”She shook her head, hurriedly snapping away from him as he growled, forcing her tone to appear confident and strong. “And yet sir, you always allow your hatred to cloud your judgement, changing your views on the world. And I don’t believe that I w
The princess woke slowly, sighing softly as she curled into a tighter ball on her side, willing the folds of sleep to take her once more. Only it was no use, her mind already alert as she blinked rapidly, her vision slightly blurred. Taking a deep breath, Elika moved into a seated position on the couch, her eyes scanning the room for any signs of the dark lord. She relaxed instantly when she realised that he was nowhere to be found, leaning back slightly as she lazily scanned the living room once more, noticing that Robert was sat by the fire, watching her every move in suspicious curiosity.“Good morning Robert.” She smiled, carefully shuffling forward on the couch; surprised that her pain had faded.“Hello little one. He replied, bobbing his head as he snarled lightly; baring his teeth.The princess smile grew as she heard his pet name for her, tilting her head to the side as she mimicked his animalistic movements. She spoke hes
The blood began to corrupt the lion-like beast as he snarled, tearing into the second mans chest and ripping out his still-beating heart; killing him almost instantly. She watched as the intruders eyes dulled, all life draining from his large form as the last moments before his horrific death played across his features; filling her with nothing but fear. Dragging her gaze away from the corpse, Elika watched her one friend in hell turn his demonic red eyes pleased when she saw nothing but caring and love towards her.“Run now little one, the blood calls me and I may not be able to stop. If I lose myself I will not remember who you are. I need you to leave now.” He growled heinously, turning towards the third intruder as he drew his weapon, pointing it towards the beast.Adrenalin pumped through Elika’s veins as she leapt around the men, recklessly stumbling towards the door. Breathing heavily, the princess turned to look back as shouts erupted in the l
Elika did as he ordered, already wishing the day was over as she stepped towards him; his mechanical white eyes lifeless. He tugged her closer when she stopped, examining her wounded back; his hands shaking as his fury only increased. Closing her eyes, the princess waited for her punishment to come, only it never did.The dark lord stepped around her and knelt before the man, his tone littered with a new hate. “You will not die today good sir. But you will die. And when you do, you would have begged for it.”“Fuck you.” The man gasped, causing the princess to smile as she opened her eyes; knowing that he would regret those words in the days to come.She turned to watch as Darkous raised his fists, knocking the man out in one blow before rising back to his feet, his eyes now locked solely on the princess. She shivered suddenly, knowing that she must have done something wrong, something to anger her uncle.“How long after death
“You are a murderer.” Michael snapped suddenly, “You should have fought sooner.”The Princess gasped, a murderer? Is that because she had ran? Robert had told her to! He had insisted that she leave, sprint to safety. It wasn’t her fault. She was not to blame.“You should have stopped them, we all know you have to power to.” He added, shaking his head as he rose back to his feet.Tears formed in her eyes. “I only did as Robert commanded.”“You should have saved him!” Michael screamed at her, quickly slapping her across the face.Elika gasped again, clutching her cheek. “I couldn’t!” she cried.Her uncles comrade struck her again, knocking her to the ground as she whimpered. She didn’t even know how to use her abilities, let alone anything about close combat, she had simply 'winged it’ her abilities had nothing to do with it. But what had he wanted
The demon within Darkous’ mind howled with laughter, “You apologized to Her?! Why in the fuck would you do that?”“silence.” He growled in response to the demon. “I have my reasons.”Rashly turning his attention away from the creature within him, he noticed that the girls jaw had dropped, her expression littered with confusion at his sudden kindness; and to be honest, the immortal Lord was also bewildered by his own actions. No longer knowing what to say to her, kindness wasn’t his strong suit, nor was apologising. But strangely he had meant it, he felt outraged that Michael would lay a hand on her for no reason, disgusted even that he wasn’t their to prevent it.“lift your jaw before I rip it off.” He growled once the silence began to bug him, his temper once again bettering him.“I’m sorry sir.” The girl whispered, recoiling at his tone.“Yes. I apologized f
