*Kingston's mansion*Draco had left before Erada could look for him and she went back into her quarters dejectedly, she had made it clear that she wanted nothing more to do with him but now she had a lot to do with him.The orphanage had gotten thier biggest donations thanks to Draco and Zaqh and they wouldn't lack money even in the years to come.It didn't take long for the news to spread throughout Green city, the third master of the Harrison family and the second master of the Steele family attended the eldest miss's party, those who didn't attend were filled with regret.The next morning, after training the six men, Erada summoned Viola, Viola was the only female she was close to and if she wanted to get closer to Draco, Viola was the only one she could think of that could help her.She was skilled in a lot of things but unfortunately flirting wasn't one of them." Viola, there's something important I would like to discuss with you"Viola's chest started to pound, something import
*The Harrison's mansion*Adaline was locked up immediately she was dragged to the Harrison's mansion, she wasn't given food or water and her stomach growled with hunger.Her throat was parched and the metal handcuffs on her wrist was biting into her skin, she had screamed until her voice turned hoarse but no one had paid any heed to her, everyone simply walked past her and continued with thier activities as if it was a very common sight.The sunlight that filtered into the bars of the room woke her up and she found two guards sneering down at her, standing beside them was the third master of the Harrison family, Zaqh Harrison." Third master, please spare me" Adaline said with tears, she would do anything not to get married to an old crippled butler." Third master, please don't marry me off, I can be a scullery maid, I can even work for you for free" Adaline pleaded desperately.Zaqh snorted " I would rather kill a scheming maid like you than have you work for me" Zaqh's eyes twinkl
*The Camp Of The Undead**Devil's Lane*Olivia fell and the crowd got into an uproar , the higher experts all had a conflicting expression on her face, thier leader had fallen and from the look of things, she seemed to have lost consciousness.our leader has fallen just like that!'' Karl is really strong, I had high hopes for Daera but it turns out she has gotten weak all these years'" Get out of my way" Venom snarled at the elders, he was angry at her for not admitting defeat, he was barging his way through the arena when he stopped in his tracks, the unconscious figure was back on her feat.The excruciating pain was what jolted Erada awake, the last thing she remembered was going into Draco's office, her eyes felt heavy even as she forced them open, she saw the large ring and she frowned in confusion, she was in the arena at the camp but how did she get here.Her confusion didn't last long, the grey robes had slid open to reveal a pair of long smooth legs and Erada knew she wasn'
It took the last residue of her strength to drag her body down the arena, Erada gritted her teeth,she had killed Karl but she had also worsened the state of this body, Venom was already there to meet her halfway and Erada collapsed into his arms." Big brother, take care of me" she said with a faint smile before her eyes drifted close.Venom frowned, he had the feeling that the girl in his arms was Daera, the pampered heiress wouldn't dare to call him big brother after his warning.Venom cradled her in his arms, he couldn't recall the last time he had held a girl so close, he was making his way into his quarters when Meek and Eight appeared, they had rushed back as soon as they could.Eight took a look at the crowd of spectators in the arena and developed a dark sense of foreboding, his eyes settled on Olivia who was cradled in Venom's arms and his eyes flashed with anger." Where is that bastard Karl!" Eight shouted and no one made a sound, not even a pin drop could be heard.Meek pa
*The camp Of The Undead**Devil's Lane*It was noon when Olivia finally woke up, Venom didn't leave her side the entire time, he had cleaned up her injuries himself and wrapped a cast around her ankle.Olivia fluttered her eyelashes weakly, she was hurting everywhere, her eyes settled on Venom and the memories of the fight flooded her head, she was filled with guilt." M.master I'm sorry" Olivia whispered faintly.Venom sighed in relief when Olivia woke up, her words however confused him." What exactly are you sorry for?"" F.for not being able to defeat Karl"Venom frowned " Karl is dead already, you killed him, don't you remember"" I..." Olivia stared blankly at him, she had defeated Karl, why couldn't she remember any of it.Meek and Eight entered the room, Eight's eyes brightened, only Meek maintained his calm expression.Olivia was glad to see them, the two of them had always made her feel comfortable in a certain way, Olivia wondered if it was Meek who had cleaned her injuries
*The Wolf Gang Camp*Unlike the camp of the undead, the wolf Gang Camp was easy to locate, it was right within the desolate forest in devil's lane, Elder two trudged through the forest, his legs were starting to cramp but the gory image of Karl's dead body fueled his enthusiasm and he continued with his journey until he got to the wolf gang camp.In terms of professionalism and expertise, the wolf gang couldn't be compared with the Undead, thier only advantage was thier leader, Ezio, a man known for his ruthlessness, he was the only man that had almost killed Daera and Elder two was sure he could kill her if he was given the chance.The wolf Gang and the Undead had been rivals for years, as elder two got to thier camp, the men eyed him with hostility, his silver robes and the badge on his chest gave away his identity as an elder of the undead." I'm here to see your leader" elder two said hoarsely.One of the men brought out a golden whistle from his breast pocket, he blew into it and
" Little Miss, your lunch is ready" one of the cooks walked in with a tray of food.Zephyr waved her off, she called her back at the last second." Is anything the matter little miss, I've improved on my cooking after your instructions the last time and I remembered to limit the amount of proteins in your food, everything was made with fresh spices and ingredients"The cook said in a hurry, she had been hired recently and she had already started to get into the little Miss bad books." It doesn't have a nice aroma, you used too many spices and it's overwhelming, the smell of it is an assault on my senses, take it out!" Zephyr finished with a snap of her fingersThe cook winced as she took the tray of food." I'm sorry little miss, I'll put this into consideration when preparing your next meal"" You have one last warning!, if you can't even prepare a proper meal then you don't need to remain here, I'm even starting to doubt if you really studied cookery, just make me a bowl of cereal
The trio headed to the master's quarters, Viola was leading at the front while Erada and 54 followed behind, Even as they made thier way through the hallways, 54 couldn't sense the presence of another soul shifter, Erada and the little miss was the only soul shifters he had met in Green city.It was almost nightfall and the hallways were dimly lit with multicolored lights, Vince and Rivera's quarters was in the southern part of the mansion, as they stopped at the front of his door, Viola knocked softly." Master, the eldest miss wishes to see you" Viola called out before the silver doors were pushed open." Father" Erada greeted respectfully, even as she looked at his face, she could see some of her features in his, Erada had lived all her life without the existence of a father, to her there was no point in letting Vince know that she was his daughter, destroying the Kingston's family was the same as destroying him, the only thing she found perplexing was the book, how did he know ab
*Grove city*His lips settled on hers, hot, hungrily and demanding and her slender figure molded against his, she had lost weight but to him, her body was the most perfect one he had ever seen.her rose tipped bre*sts were taut and aching and a soft moan escaped her lips when he took one of them into his mouth, she arched her back, moaning softly, giving him access to deepen the intimacy." you're beautiful Olivia, so so beautiful"her eyes misted with tears when she realized how much effort he had put into this just to make her feel special, the entire house had been redecorated and beautiful rose petals were strewn everywhere, it looked no different from a fairytale." V..Venom,. it's not going to hurt anymore, is it? it had hurt the last time"a smile spread over his face" it won't hurt anymore, I was drunk then, this time around i'll be gentle"They made love slowly, taking the time to discover what pleased one another and to let thier passion grow and smolder before the flam
* The Wyndham mansion** Havilah city*Vince, Osgald, his men and the Kingston's family guards stepped out of the mansion, they were all covered with blood, they had just finished wiping out the entire Wyndham family.Even though they had only met for a short while, the two of them had developed a strong feeling of admiration for one another." I'm curious about the reason you decided to give us a hand"Vince questioned, he had done his part so that his two daughters would be able to live peacefully without the fear of getting hunted." They killed my son"Out of habit, he brought out the picture in his breast pocket.Osgald's face was etched with pain.Vince frowned slightly, he was familiar with the boy in the photo." Wait a minute.. I've seen him once"Osgald's eyes immediately brightened" Where did you see him"" My daughter brought him home from the orphanage..Osgald was a bit skeptical, he couldn't bear to get his hopes high up." Are you really sure it's him"Vince nodded"
She swung a kick at Gerald before bashing his head against the wall, she continued bashing his head against the wall until his head split and blood trailed down his skull, the blood had gotten sprayed all over her face and it trickled down her neck.Cerek's face turned even paler, this was bad, he had to escape, right now she looked no different from a zombie, the blood all over her face matched perfectly with her scarlet hair and the smile on her face was frightening, he tried using his soul powers but to his surprise he couldn't even condense it." What exactly did you slip in my mouth!!!"The evil smile on Erada's face grew even wider." You're thinking of escaping? You didn't do your research well enough, you should know that if you're poisoned, you won't be able to use your soul powers and what I just fed you with is one of my deadly poisons"Cerek's jaw dropped, the pain was gnawing at his insides and it made him a bit releived, since she had called it a deadly poison, it woul
Venom frowned in confusion" What's this?"" It's a pregnancy test kit...I'm pregnant"She muttered carefully, a part of her would have ran away again, she would have hid the news from him but she knew it was impossible, even if she buried herself under the ground, he would find her.He turned stiff as a statue and a myriad of emotions flashed across his face, shock, disbelief, joy and helplessness." Y.you're pregnant!"Olivia nodded tentatively." This.. This is great news"Venom said before lifting her in his arms, his lips settled on hers, kissing her until she ran out of breath." We're having a baby! We're having a baby!!"He was going to be a father and he felt helpless and clueless about it.Olivia noticed the expression on his face." Are you sad about it.. it's fine .. you don't have to take responsibility for anything, I'll take care of the child..Tears were already forming at the back of her eyes." What makes you think I'll let you run away with my child, I'm happy about
Erada stared at the read text on her phone again, she felt uneasy and she couldn't tell why, she decided to call Draco, why was he ignoring her text?He didn't pick up at the first ring and she dialled it again until he picked." Rada...I .."His voice was shaky and Erada was instantly alarmed" Draco.. what's wrong, are you okay?"" I.. I'm fine, don't worry"" You don't sound fine to me, where are you?"" I'm.. at my sister's place, little Zephyr got hurt"" What? Text me the address right now!!, I'm coming over"She turned to Venom who was already waiting for her." We'll have to put off the attack for now, until I get back"Venom continued staring at her retreating back, she had changed a lot, The Daera he knew wouldn't have put an hold on her plans for anyone.* **** ** The Steele's Mansion*" Big sister, Where is Cerek?"Eight asked with a broad grin and Edwina shivered.In his hands was a bright gleaming knife and his deep brown eyes twinkled brightly." I .I .. don't know, he
*Bronx Arena**Havilah city*Erada immediately set to action, the Kingston's guards had already been flown over from Green city and her father would be leading them to attack the Wyndham family.She and Venom would take down the Graham family and later they would attack the Steele family.Until those three families were dead, soul shifters would continue to be in danger.She sent a text to Draco.'You didn't come to cheer me at the arena, I let Olivia win, I'm on my way to attack the Graham family and I'll be needing backup'The text was delivered and read but there was no reply.Erada frowned slightly, it wasn't like him to ignore her texts, she shrugged it offEdwina watched as the girl approached her, she looked innocent and pure, almost like an elf."Miss, please you have to help me, there's a man outside, he's holding my little brother hostage, he mentioned something about soul shifters, I don't know what he's talking about, miss.. please... I'm at my wit's end, I don't want to l
Olivia and Gloriella were the only two that remained." I wish to challenge the eldest miss of the Kingston family"Gloriella said with a sneer." Gloriella, we're counting on you to defeat her, you mustn't let her win"The heiresses in Havilah city screamed in unison, Gloriella was thier only hope, they had to regain the honor they had lost earlier.Gloriella and Olivia steps into the ring." Just hit me as hard as you can, I'll let you win, don't worry"Erada whispered quietly.Olivia's eyes widened but she immediately controls her excitement, Erada had no intention of winning all along.Gloriella screamed in pain as Olivia's fist connected with her shoulder." You're making it obvious that we're only acting, why don't you fight back"Olivia whispered.Erada nodded before swinging a punch at Olivia.A scream rose to Olivia's lips, she had only asked Erada to pretend to hit her, she didn't know she was going to hit her so hard." Oops! Sorry I was trying my best to hit you lightly"E
*Bronx Arena**Havilah city*" Are you nervous?"Raven shook her head, her brows were knitted in concentration as she stared at the ring.Gloriella had just issued a challenge at four of the heiresses in Havilah city at once.It took a while before she realized that it was Meek that had asked her a question." How I'm feeling is none of your business, since you're so good at reading the expression on people's face, you should be able to tell what I'm feeling right now"Raven said tartly, she could still remember the way his lips had lingered close to hers and the way he had been so self assured and confident that she wanted him to kiss her." Actually I can"" Really?"Raven said dryly" Then tell me what I'm feeling right now since you're a pro at reading people's faces"" Sure"Meek stalked closer to her until his deep brown eyes were staring directly into hers." Right now, you're a bit tensed about the competitions, you're worried about Daera and at the same time you're thinking
*The Steele's Mansion**Havilah city*"Eldest master, the laboratory has been razed to the ground and all the children have been rescued"A man says frantically.Cerek's face contorted with anger, there was only one person that can correctly guess the code on the door and it was Draco.Not many people were aware of the existence of the laboratory and it still baffles him that he had been able to locate it.His playthings were gone, his hands clenched tightly and one could see his veins popping out.Edwina had learned to stay away whenever he was in a bad mood, she was about to enter but once she saw the look on his face, she slowly retreated.She couldn't stop thinking about the bloody note she had received, '8', the 8 she knew were dead already, and all of them were little children.Unfortunately for the messenger, he wasn't quite fast, Cerek grabbed him by his clothes, before he could blink, a knife had been struck into his cheek." Aaaaargh!"The messenger cried out in pain, holdin
