Chapter 7

❤️ Broken Promise (Part 2) ❤️

"I remember but you know it's been long. I keep hearing 'be patient' 'be patient' but for how long will I continue to be patient?" the woman asked the dark mist and began pacing around in what looked like a cave.

"I am just as impatient like you too but what will I do? Patience is the only thing we have to hold on to. Showing yourself will ruin everything." The man covered in dark mist told her.

The unknown woman heaved out.

"Fine," she said, tightening her lips. "Fine then." She added again.

"Keep preparing your body for the powers." the man said and immediately the black mist was gone leaving the woman alone. Sitting down and crossing her legs and closing her eyes, a few minutes later she was a rock statue which merged with the rock behind it.

Wolf Kingdom:

"We will keep reminding you every day of our lives." Ama told him.

Without another word he stood up and went to his room leaving his three wives behind.

His heart was heavy. How the might has fallen.

Raziah slammed her room door hard behind her.

She was still angry but the one person who she wanted to rip out his heart wasn't close and her father, she couldn't hurt him.

"Where are you, Dark?" she asked no one. "Where can you be hiding?"

Her hatred for him began the night she needed him the most. The night that changes everything. The night she felt helpless against her father, the first time. She hates him.

'Thinking and hating about your past won't make what you went through go away.' Violet, her wolf, told her through their mind link. 'It won't change the fact that he didn't come to save you, plus, that was the night you discovered your wolf, me.'

'I can't seem to forget that night no matter how hard I try violet. I am trying my best but I can't stop thinking about it."

'You had so much hope that he would show up but he didn't show up. You've got to stop dwelling in the past Raziah.'

'Maybe if I kill him and my father I will have my peace.' Raziah told her Wolf. Dark didn't keep to his promise. He had broken the promise he made to her.

'Maybe. Try to get some sleep Raziah.'

Her wolf went silent after that.

Smiling at no one, Raziah started removing her clothes one after the other. Her back was covered in various scars that ran down to her a$$. Her father had always used a sword to beat her whenever she interfered or pleaded with him on her mother's behalf.

The wounds had long healed but the scars had marred her back.

Feeling tired, she lay down on her bed and slept off.

The next morning she got up and went to the house where her mother's corpse was.

The servants had already set warm water in the wooden bucket and a hand towel in it.

She began cleaning her dead mother.

"How are you doing, mother? Did you sleep well?" she asked the pale cold body. "I didn't sleep well last night but I'm used to it. Yeah I know I have to be strong for myself and myself." she added and kept quiet for a minute then nodded her head as if the dead body was speaking. "I know that mother, I won't hurt him but I will always punish him for what he put you through and me." a smile appeared on her face. "I do eat to keep me alive and going. Yeah, I know, I love you too, mother."

No one understands this, but she hears her mother speak.

Once she was done. She pecked the forehead of the dear woman. "I will be visiting the Vampire kingdom today mother, wish me well."

She left the room and told one of the guards to clean up the room and sent one to call Barwolf for her.

"Good morning. I was told I was needed." Barwolf said to his daughter. The guard that woke him up didn't give him a chance to dress up. He forced Barwolf out of his room with his underwear. Guards, mere guards who wouldn't and tremble at his feet.

"Yes, I did Barwolf." Raziah answered. "Where do you think Dark will be staying? Where can I find him?"

"You can't find him anywhere, no one has. He comes and goes like he wants." Barwolf told her.

"Why is he feared?" Raziah asked. She has never asked this question before but something in her feels like she will be meeting him soon and knowing some things about the man will be an advantage to her.

"Because he is the son of the five Princes of Hell. He is mysterious, you don't want to mess with him or get on his bad side." Barwolf answered his daughter.

"So? Because he told you all that he is the devil child and you all believed him?" Raziah said, rolling her eyes at her father. It had only taken her one Kingdom to defeat (the giant kingdom) for the rest of the other kingdoms to fear her. The fear in their eyes when she had defeated those demons and had conquered the giant Kingdom pleased her. She loves seeing the fear in their eyes when they see her but Dark, he had only told them and they believed him. How foolish of them.

"He didn't have to say it twice or prove it Raziah. He showed us."

"How?" Raziah demanded, one of her eyebrows raised.

"You wake up every morning to clean your mother up. You take good care of her."

Cutting him short.

"And what has that got to do with what I asked you?" She asked with a glare.

"You can do everything to help your mother but him, he killed his mother's people. He killed every dragon and did not spare even one. How can a sane person kill every member of his mother's people? What he did with the dragon kingdom, when we heard of it. We became scared and didn't want him to destroy our kingdoms so we all agreed. He is deadly." Barwolf explained.

"I still see no reason why he is feared." Raziah shakes her head.

"He buried the entire Dragon Kingdom with water." Barwolf told her, closing his eyes.

Raziah's eyes widened and then narrowed it to him.

"The same way I should have buried you since," Raziah said which prompted Barwolf to open his eyes. "One day, I will pay deaf ears to my mother and kill you." she added with a darker look and Barwolf had to move back. "Go and clean up my room."

Without saying another word he ran back inside the palace building.

Dark is strong, no doubt, but so is she. Raziah thought to herself. She dares him to come out from his hiding place and face her.

Come out. Then the blue sky began to darken.

Dark Castle:

Dark was seen putting on a black tunics that was his waist length and trouser and his boot in his room.

Amaya walked inside the room and met him dressed up.

"Where are you going?" she asked, surprised.

"To meet Raziah."

"Why?" Amaya demanded in surprise.

"Raziah has my property and I am going back to collect it from her."

"She is now a fighter; she won't give you the Golden spear willingly."

"I don't care. I will kill her to get back my golden spear if I have to."

"But it is morning already, can't you wait until it's dark for us to go? We are made for darkness. Demons can't come out in the morning." Amaya reminded him.

"And I don't need anyone's permission to step out in the sun. You can't step out but I can Amaya, that's the difference between us." Dark told her.

"You are going to hurt yourself Dark, the day doesn't favor us, please listen to me and-"

Interrupting her.

"Amaya!" he shouted which fling her backwards with more force and Dark quickly entered his dark mist and appeared behind Amaya stopping her from hitting the wall. It wasn't because he didn't want Amaya hurt, it's because he likes that wall. It has mirrors which shows his impressive heights and muscles and not to mention his handsomeness.

He let go of her immediately.

"Don't you ever tell me what to do. You're just a friend and my commander. Just because you became close to me and I allow you to walk inside my room like you please shouldn't give you the right to give me an order. Do I make myself clear?" His lips didn't move.

"I am sorry." Amaya apologized with her head down.

Checking himself on his mirror, his black mist surrounded him and the only one in the room was Amaya who started screaming in anger.
