Lord Adonis walked into his chambers angry, his countenance was like a burning fury that could burn anyone at the slightest touch. He saw Audrey was still in the exact position he had left her but this time with a cut on her forehead, it wasn't there when prior to the time he had left his chamber but seeing that she was still on the same spot he had left her, he knew the cut must've been from the quake that took place earlier.On noticing his presence, Audrey bowed her head to paid her homage. He walked pass her as though she was invincible and headed straight to his study room to have sometime to himself.Lord Adonis groan as he took his seat, he had barely settled down when his mind choose to wander freely to Audrey against his free will, he made a mental note to ignore her but he couldn't. "She sure have a knack of making people worry over her unnecessarily." He said to himself as he felt a great urge to take responsibility for what he had done but there was no way he was going to
Soon, it was time for light out and the girls lazily dragged their feet to lay their tired bodies to rest.Lucia offered to help Audrey to bed but Audrey had insisted on being alone so she let her be.Lucia went to number fourteen space to clear it out."What are you doing?" Number thirteen looked at Lucia suspiciously."And what do you think I'm doing?" Lucia asked without sparing her a glance or stop what she was doing. "Everyone is getting work up because of number fourteen, do you think it's advisable to leave her stuff like this considering the current situation of things?""I never knew you were this considerate but you sure think ahead." number thirteen said knowing fully well that there was more to Lucia's action and she wasn't just being kind. Number thirteen then decided that she wasn't just going to fold her hands, but she would take necessary and meticulous steps towards finding out Lucia's motives. "Number fourteen was my bunkmate, let me assist you in disposing her stuff
Number thirteen entered Lord Adonis chambers with her heart beating rapidly with her head bowed. She kept telling herself that she has done nothing and thus have no reason to be afraid."I hail the end of all beginning." She paid her respect in a shaky voice but got no response. "May be my voice was too low, l have to increase my tone." She said to herself. "I hail the end of all beginning." Number thirteen repeated in a louder voice yet the situation was the same as the first, there was no response.She raised her head to get acquainted with the new environment she had found herself and was stunned beyond words when she saw the most beautiful and luxurious bedroom she had seen all her life. She was expecting to see human skulls and a whole lot of vicious things littered everywhere but here she was in a room she wouldn't even dream of spending a night in for her entire life. "Is this for real?" She was finding it hard to believe that someone like Lord Adonis could keep his space tidy
Audrey's heart was racing very fast as she walked away from Lucia. She had just made up her mind to detach herself from everyone but looking at Lucia's actions, she wasn't sure she could just ignore her.Lucia made an attempt to run after Audrey but was stopped by number thirteen. "I did what you asked of me, now it's time for you to fulfill your part of the bargain."This was no time to exchange words with number thirteen. "I made a promise so you don't have to bother yourself about me fulfilling it because I will, so if that is understood by you, take your stinking hands off my body." Lucia shoved number thirteen hands away as she ran after Lucia.Lucia met Audrey at the main hall waiting."I don't seem to understand you anymore, you've been acting weird for sometime now. I was thinking it was due to the change of allocation but looking at things now, I think you have a problem with me."Audrey asked for the pen and paper to write her thoughts. "The one acting weird is you, you've c
If there was anything Lucia wished for at that moment, it was for her to completely vanish into the thin air. She could not fathom how Azrail could be so sweet to her this moment and the next, he was a beast."I'm only letting this slide because you still got your uses but I'll advice you don't push it any further." Azrail voice jolted her out of reverie. "I can't stand your presence, I want to take a walk.""I'm sorry second master" Lucia managed to say despite feeling completely betrayed by Azrail's action. Few moment ago, she was held up in his embrace and now, she had been physically violated but the physical torture was nothing compared to the emotional torture she was going through."Sorry don't fix everything, you should be grateful you're my personal maid, otherwise you would have seen the other side of me."Azrail made his exit and Lucia bursted into another fresh round of tears with no one to console her this time. She wished she had kept what was bothering her to herself.
Azrail had drove himself out in order to carry out the mission assigned to him by Lord Adonis. He had seen a group of people gathered listening to music, he wasn't a music fanatic but it's been a long day from him.He decided to join the crowd and relax his mind when he observed an abnormal breathing beside him. It was against his duties as an arch agent of death to care for a mere mortal but he had been searching for a human maid all day without success, he had given up on hitting his target for that day.But maybe there was hope after all, here was a young maiden totally broken looking like she would pass out the next moment. Knowing fully well that the human maids have to be willing to follow him, he was also willing to bend the rules that binds him to achieve his mission."What is wrong with you? Are you okay?" Azrail asked gently from where he was standing. He looked at her forehead, it wasn't her time.Despite Ceren situation, tears swelled up in her eyes, she felt seen in the
None of the two girls responded to number one question.'Whatever it is that is happening, I hope it continues so we can always get an ambience of sanity and peace when we gather here at the table." number one quickly added.But before number one could focus on her food, Lucia and Ceren raised their heads up and gave a bad look simultaneously."What was that for?" number one asked as she shrugged her shoulders."You really should know when to shut your mouth." Ceren said still looking at number one. "I can't agree less." Lucia seconded Ceren's opinion."Wow, just wow." number one just like the other girls were shocked to their bone marrows to see Lucia and Ceren agreed for the first time. "Who would've believed you both had a face off earlier? Anyways I'm sorry for interfering, I'll mind my business.""It will do you a whole lot of good if you do." Lucia said before turning to eat her food.Audrey's looked at Lucia's bruises and her heart broke into pieces but she was determined not
Luckily, Ceren was in his closet cleaning it out when he arrived in his room, he immediately made for his study room in a discreet manner. He gently lay her down on his sofa. "How could you think of getting sick under my watch?" He stood up to check his box which housed his supplements but on a second thought, he knew self medication without the prescription of an expert was a bad idea. Lord Adonis needed someone who is licensed to treat and unfortunately, he knew nothing about medicine. "I must go to the human world and get her a doctor as soon as possible, she is human after all." He turned to Audrey who was still shivering. "Hold on, I'll be back soon." He made for his closet to change his clothes, he found Ceren working. "Out of my way" he roared as he shoved Ceren aside who instantly felt chilly.Ceren shrieked at his instruction. "Yes my lord" she quickly gave him his needed space.He quickly dressed up and tool his glasses, he would be needing it and made for his way out when
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
