The bell clattered five times a signal for the girls to fill their empty stomachs. It's was the best part of the girls day. Lucia left Azrail's chambers and made for the dinning hall. It's has been a very long day for her. Right now, there was nothing that she wanted more than to fill her empty stomach and then proceed to lay her cold, fragile body on her bed. Cleaning Azrail's chambers was already an Hercules task that demands being thorough but she can feel the tides changing right in front of her eyes. Not only does she have to clean his chambers but she also have to be responsible for him as his eyes. She marveled at what Azrail could have done that would've warranted Lord Adonis taking his eyes and the thought of Azrail hurting her as well made her body shuddered with horror "How can someone as clumsy as me be responsible for second master? I'd better watch what I do or say. Second master isn't in a good place right now. One more mistake and I'm certain my life will be the rec
***"Number two, you are responsible for the dishes tonight" Lucia said giving her first order as the new supervisor."Oh no, not tonight. I'm so exhausted right now. Please could you select someone else to do that?" number two sprouted her lipsAll eyes were on her, she understood the meaning behind the looks. it was that type of look that screams "You must be kidding""And who should that be? According to the roaster, it's your turn and besides everyone does the dishes regardless of whether they are tired or not." Number five glared at number two from her seat"And the last time I checked, you ain't the supervisor. So why are you acting like one? I wasn't even talking to you to start with." Number two was beginning to get offended at number five outburst"And I guess you find being honest unpleasant" Number five replied while giving her a deadly look."Alright fine, I'll do the dishes but can you stay out of my business?" number two gave in while throwing her hands in the air."Of co
Juana tried to get up but the more she tried, the more painful it was, so she get up the idea of standing on her feet, instead she painfully dragged herself to a corner to hide herself but that didn't help much as it revealed her tracks."Where is she?" One of the men asked"She wouldn't have gotten far" another man replied"Let's check around for her. She is too beautiful to slide away from our hands. I can't wait to have a piece of her while she resist" the last man said before the three of them bursted into an appalling laughter.It was at this junction, realization dawned on Juana that her harasser wasn't one but three. She was so terrified at the thought of being sexually abused by these monsters especially when she had never been with anyone. She regretted turning down Chris offer to take her home, if she had accepted his offer, she wouldn't have found herself in this mess.She silently prayed that by some sheer of luck, someone would come save her and she would survive the nig
Samantha and the policewoman sat opposite each other at the hospital cafe"You're Juana best friend and I reckon she must have told you about doctor Chris right?" The police woman asked mmediately after they took their seats"We may be best of friend but I don't pry into her personal life because Juana has always been a nerd. I have no idea doctor Chris was into her but I know doctor chris is a good person""How do you know he is a good person?""He is handsome, soft spoken, respectful and calm. He treated us as his friends and so far so good, I can say I'm satisfied with his personality""Us? You seems to like him a lot""Everyone does. I means he treats everyone with respect. You can ask anyone around here and they will tell you the same thing.""Do you think the both of them could have made a good couple? I mean I checked her records and she was the best nursing student in the just concluded clinicals. The youngest professor in the hospital and the best nursing student dating, what
"Hey sweetheart" Samantha called out walking into the Juana's ward."Hey" Juana replied in an unhappy tone while looking away"Come on sweetheart, don't give me that look. See I know you miss me and I miss you as well. I'm sorry I'm just coming now. it's been a busy day""Oh yeah, I understand you've been so busy ignoring your so called best friend" Juana said feigning anger"Oh sweetheart that was not my intention,, I had things to take care of and trust me as soon I was done, I ran down here" Samantha replied while giving Juana a hug but Juana didn't budge. "Your majesty, tell me how do I appease you?" Samantha asked while giving Juana puppy looksJuana threw her face to the other avoiding Samantha looks."Come on, say something Juana.""Get me something to eat, I'm so famished courtesy of the medications I was given." Juana whined"Alright your majesty. Anything for you, give me a moment" Samantha said as she dropped her bag.Azrail walked into hospital to check on the girl he had
Audrey woke up to the sound of the jiggling bell. She opened her eyes slowly. She felt refreshed. The couch was comfortable and she felt warm around here body."Where am I?" She asked herself as reality slowly dawn on her that she was still in Lord Adonis chambers She quickly sat up and noticed the clothes she was wrapped in with was the finest linen she has ever seen her entire life but that was not her problem"What am I still doing in Lord's Adonis chambers? Did I passed out? Audrey was worried Lord Adonis would find her sleeping in his chambers. " Who wrapped me in this clothes because I'm sure I did no such thing." Audrey was more than terrified at what Lord Adonis would do to her if he finds her all wrapped up in his clothes. She looked around and was relieved a bit"Thank goodness, he is not back" she quickly helped herself out of the clothes before she tiptoed to Lord Adonis wardrobe and folded his jacket neatly before placing it in there. "Isn't it shameless for me to have
Audrey had barely gotten some sleep when she felt a gentle tap on her skin. It was Lucia standing beside her"Wake up, the bell has been rang for our duties"Audrey read her lips and got her message, she had tossed all night on her little bed and had barely gotten any sleep. She lazily dragged herself off the bed and caught up with Lucia who was already on her way out.Audrey made some gesture with her hands but Lucia wasn't getting the message, so she quickly dashed to get her book and pen"I'm sorry about last night" Audrey wrote"I'm sorry for walking out on you as well" Lucia said before hugging her "meanwhile I thought about what you said, we will find a way but it has to be completely harmless to everyone.""Azrail is different from Lord Adonis, he is kind hearted and warm, I just want to help out. I promise to follow your instruction.""I can't agree with you less."Audrey gave Lucia a beautiful smile, the first of it kind she has given anyone ever since she stepped into the pal
The bell jingled for dinner but because of her auditory deficiency, Audrey have to rely on the wall clock in Lord Adonis chamber. She was used to the timing and was more than happy she get to leave Lord Adonis chambers. It's a good thing he had left as soon as he took his bath. She breathe a sigh of relief. She had survived another day.She had barely gotten anything to munch on the previous day and this was another opportunity for her to make up for yesterday. She wasn't going to miss it for anything.She turned the knob of the door and took one final glance at the chamber she had cleaned all day and was satisfied with what she had done. She made for her way out.She got to the dinning hall. Lucia was already there waiting for the girls to come, Audrey took her seat beside her and gave a huge smile"You made it through without any inch, I'm so proud of you"Audrey wanted to talk as she was not holding a paper and a pen. Lucia stretched her hands out to her. Another smile flashed acros
Bethany looped her hand around the crook of Adonis' arm as they walked down the path.It was winter now and though the roads were filled with snow, her life was filled with joy. She was happy, more happy than she had ever been. With Adonis in her life, she had had beautiful experiences and she wanted those experiences to continue. Well, today another beautiful experience was set to occur and she did not know how to react to it."Do not worry. You would not miss me too much." Talina replied back to her raging thoughts."I would definitely miss you. You have been in my body since I was a baby, how do I live without you?" Bethany said to her."You have Adonis now and now, your body is sitting enough to function on its own. Most importantly, it is time for me to get the rest I have so desperately wanted." Talina replied in Bethany's head."Are you okay?" Adonis squeezed Bethany's hand. "I am just asking Talina if it is necessary for her to leave my body? I am already used to having her
Adonis ran up to Bethany's parents to ensure they were safe. If Bethany was going to give herself up for her parents, he may as well ensure that they do live and that her sacrifice is not in vain. He could never trust Kalta. The blood-sucking demon could decide to kill them even after having Bethany and it was the more reason he wanted Kalta dead.Just as he was about to take them somewhere safe, Bethany's mom whispered in a very weak voice, "What is that bastard going to my daughter?"Adonis immediately spun his head in the direction of Kalta and his body grew weak from the sight before him. Kalta's lips were buried deep into Bethany's neck, drinking her blood. "Kalta!" He yelled and stretched forth his hands, this time around ready to bring down the entire palace and the world way if he had to. Everything in the direction of Adonis' hands began to freeze, traveling so fast that there was barely any time to react to the ice cold that took over everything. But not Kalta. The power
A strong rush of adrenaline filled Adonis as he ended the lives of the death agents in the place. His entire being was filled with anger and hatred, he found his anger depleting as he sniffed life out of the death agents, so he continued to sizzle them to nothingness, completely ignoring Kalta. Talina felt super proud of Adonis, especially now that she saw a strong possibility of them winning this battle. She knew that with most of the death agents out of the way, killing Kalta would be easier. The moment she saw Kalta stand up from his throne with a death glare in his eyes, she immediately activated her shield. She knew how sneaky Kalta could be and she was not ready to risk anything being around him. "Kalta, you better give up now. Your men are retreating and soon enough, you will be left alone with no protection." She yelled at him."You know, I can never give up, but be certain that you will never see your parents ever again." He said and balled his hands into fists and began t
Talina saw the fear in the eyes of the death agents and wondered what was going on. The ones around her had all stopped in their tracks and were exchanging looks with one another. She immediately swung her head in the direction where this fear was emanating from and found that more than half of Kalta's men had been frozen to death by Adonis's magic. "Great job!" She praised him and took on a defensive stance at the rest of the death agents. "Come on. I can't wait to kill all of you." "You all have the chance to leave here with your lives intact. Do not allow a coward like Kalta to ruin your lives." Adonis warned the rest of the death agents who were standing by the other side contemplating if they should fight him or not.The death agents exchanged looks among themselves and stared at one another weighing their options of of living or fighting to their certain death. Kalta saw the decision his men were struggling to make and knew that if he did not do something really quick, this b
Kalta's blood boiled as he realized it had been a full day and Bethany and Adonis were not at his palace yet. Bethany was supposed to be back here, begging him to release her parents and willingly offer her heart and her blood to him. He stared at her mother who had been in the trance-like look for hours. She had definitely made the connection and except if Bethany did not care about her parents, she was supposed to be here. Well, there was nothing a little more pain could not guarantee. He thought and squeezed his arms at the woman’s body. She let out a loud yell of pain and Mr. Blake fell to the floor and clasped tightly to his hand. "Please, have mercy on my wife. You have put her in a lot of pain already." The man begged. "Well, your daughter does not think I have put her in enough pain. All of these would kindly end if your daughter comes here now. It is all in her hands." He chuckled and tightened his fist harder on the woman's body. The entire palace of Ice and soul shook w
Talina stared at the tiring look on Adonis face and knew that if they were going to face Kalta like this, they might just be finished in seconds. She knew Adonis was powerful, but he had yet to harness and master his powers and if he wanted to defeat Kalta at his palace, then he needed to put some more effort in. The problem however was that they had no time and her body was already getting weaker from the Kalta was sending her way.She tried to convey her disappointment to him, but the pain rolling off her body did not permit her to talk. Bethany was in so much pain and it was taking a toll on her."I am so sorry," Adonis said as he rushed to her. He hated to see her in pain and it was weakening him in ways he could not explain. It was the more reason he could not channel his energy in the right direction right now. "You'd better be, because if those weak blows of yours are what you want to win Kalta with, then I am sorry to tell you, but we would be toast as soon as we enter into
Kalta watched the man beg him a thousand times to have mercy on his wife. He could see the love between them and it reminded him so much of his love affair with Talina. *Fifty Years Ago*He had been a low-ranking death agent and as it was usual for death agents of his rank, he was bullied and sent off to silly assignments. On this day, he was returning from an assignment when he came in contact with some powerful witches. He had not been scared of them as he was a death agent, but when they launched an attack on him, he knew he had to fight back. Unfortunately for him, his powers were no match for the witches. He was on the brink of death and was getting ready to breathe his last when he saw a swift flash of magical energy swizz in. The witches were confused by her sudden appearance and she used that to her advantage, taking a swift blow at them. Before the witches could make sense of what she was doing, she had sent them all to the ground. “Who are you?” He asked when she offered
Adonis fluttered his eyes open and was welcomed by the cool sweet ambience that was the fairy's house. There was peace in the air and everything was happy. He could feel the happy energy emanating from this place and he wished he had known this place sooner. He sat up and touched the wound on his shoulder. It was almost completely healed and he could use his arms as he wanted. “Ah! I see you are awake.” The fairy walked up to him with a smile on her face. "Yes, I am. Thank you so much for helping my wound heal." Adonis answered, his heart swelling with gratitude. “Kid, you should not thank me. You should thank Talina. But no matter what, ensure that the death that pursued you in here doesn’t follow us as well.” She warned. Adonis swallowed at the woman's word. It has never been his intention for anyone to be hurt because of him and he was certain he would be out of their village as soon as possible to avoid Kalta from hurting these kind hearted people. "I promise, no harm would c
Kalta stormed from one corner of his room to the next. This was not how he had imagined any of this playing out. He was supposed to kill the Espino and be the strongest being in the world.He was supposed to be celebrating his victory at this point, but here he was with no Espino. To make matters even worse, Adonis was with her and he knew Talina hated him enough to want to kill herself just so that Adonis would get the power he so craves. "No, I would never allow this to happen." He yelled and ran a hand on his study desk, throwing off a couple of books seated there. He let out a breath and slumped on his chair, knowing that much, if not all, of these was his fault. If he had just plunged the knife into her heart earlier while she was still bound to the floor, he would not be going through this. It was too bad that he had allowed his emotions to cloud his sense of reasoning."If only you had been decisive enough, Kalta. If only you had kept your head in the game, none of this would
