*The Camp Of The Undead**Devil's Lane*The next morning.. In the underground torture chambers, the two figures were huddled together, Kylie's d**d body hadn't been removed, instead it was placed right in the metal cage to remind them of the much scarier fate that awaited them.Cecily whimpered in pain and Royal shuddered, thier bodies had been split open with whips and after they were doused with salt water, they had felt this excruciating pain, they didn't even notice the stench and rot anymore, it was the least of thier problems.The duo shuddered as a figure appeared, a lazy grin was on his face and even though it was very early in the morning, his hands were already stained with blood.Somehow they found him more frightening." Vice commander asked me to pay you a visit and I hope we get along"Eight grinned as he rubbed his palms together " My hands are itching already"" P.please j.just k.k*ll us" Cecily pleaded.Eight shook his head" There's no fun in k*lling, there's somet
Erada smiled." Wow, little Zephyr is indeed smart, Draco is home, isn't he?"Little Zephyr nodded" Second uncle is in his quarters" She gestured at a maid" Please take my big sister to second uncle's quarters"The maid bowed in response, thier little miss was more polite lately and there were happy about the recent developments." Eldest miss, your dress is really beautiful, you look just like a fairy" the maid said with a smile Everyone had heard the second master's announcement at the arena and they were more polite to her, she was after all, the future mistress of the house.Erada nodded briefly as she followed the maid, she hadn't called to let him know she was coming and she didn't even stop to admire the sculptures in the passage way, they were several of them made with pure gold and there were sculptures of lions.Draco dropped the brush as soon as she entered and he was taken aback by the blazing fury in her eyes." Olivia, I missed you"" Save it" Erada said curtly" Di
*The Kingston's Mansion**Green City* Olivia had always been the piece of glue that held the family together, like a bright ray of light, her infectious smiles and laughter lit up the entire mansion, her eyes were shining with mirth as she regaled them with tales of the camp of the undead." Father, I've mastered how to shoot and I really learnt a lot from my master, he helped me build my stamina and my speed increased thanks to him "Vince smiled" You haven't said a sentence without adding 'my master' in every single one, he must be really outstanding "Rivera nodded in agreement.Olivia furrowed her brows" That's because we were mostly together"She didn't tell them that she had found him scary at first and the mere thought of him was enough to make her faint.The entire mansion was in a festive mood and the table was laden with all kinds of sumptuous feasts." At least, now that you're back, I can finally eat meat"Erada sighed, she no longer had to keep up with her pretense an
" When were you going to tell me that you're an heir of one of the four main families in Green city or you were never going to tell me? "Venom sighed" My father was worse than a beast, when I was little he used to molest me several times, when I left, I decided that I no longer have anything to do with the Smith family "" Including Raven?"" They've always treated Raven better "" I guess you're right, it should explain why she's crying that she'll rather k*ll herself instead of getting married to Brad"She said sarcastically.Venom's eyes narrowed into slits and he swore silently." Damn it! I didn't think he would actually be so cruel to her"" She's your family big brother, she thinks you're dead all these years, you should let her know you're still alive and find a way to deal with Brad before he becomes a bigger issue, she seems terrified of him "" Thank you Daera and thank you for treating her even without knowing who she was"" You're welcome big brother but if I find out t
*The Kingston's Mansion**Green city*Olivia was with Erada when the call came through from Draco, to stop Olivia's mind from running wild with imaginations, she accepted the call and activated the speaker." Olivia, please come to my office"There were no other words and even his voice was a bit shaky, despite how hard she was trying to remain calm, a trace of panic was slowly setting in, she turned to face Olivia." You should go, just do me a favor, possess him, once you've managed to grasp his memories, tell me everything he knows about soul shifters"She wanted to be prepared before setting her feet in Havilah city." Alright, I'll do it for you"Olivia said with a bright smile, despite the smile on her face, her heart was in a turmoil, she had kept her feelings locked in all these years because a part of her had always believed she wasn't good enough, she wasn't strong enough to match someone like him and now that she was no longer weak and useless, that old feeling was still re
* The Kingston's Mansion** Green City*" I hate you"The words continued to ring continuously in her head." Mother, do you think she really hates me, I didn't mean to hurt her "Erada sighed as she narrated everything to Rivera." Once she gets everything off her chest, she'll be alright, you shouldn't worry too much about it, I'm only worried because she's not picking my calls " Rivera said gently ." You shouldn't be scared of going after anyone you love, before I got married to your father, there were several obstacles in our paths but thankfully, we braved through them"Erada tried dialing Olivia's number but it wasn't connecting." You should give her time to get everything out of her system"Rivera advised as she pulled Erada into a hug, sniffing over her hair. " It still feels like a dream that I never lost you"Erada's face bloomed into a tiny smile, it was surprising how none of them had minded that she was a mercenary and they all accepted her with open arms.Her guilt le
*The Steele's Manor**Green City*Her mother had wanted her to be a healer and it was one of the reasons why she had named her Erada, she had raised her to be loving, kind, compassionate and to always forgive even when anyone had hurt her.' Erada, you'll always be mother's precious angel, mother wants you to grow up into a kind young lady, promise mother that you won't let the world change you'Even with her last breath, mother had made her promise, it was a promise she couldn't keep, after her mother's death, she had stopped using the name, mother wouldn't have wanted her Erada to become a mercenary and now, he was the first person she was mentioning the name to." Draco.. I am not Olivia, I'm Erada "She watched the display of emotions on his face, shock, confusion, disbelief and it gradually morphed into an accusation." You're not Olivia?"Erada nodded slowly"I'm Erada, Erada Kingston, I'm sorry for lying to you, Draco, I didn't mean to"She moistened her lips "I'm the other tw
* The Camp Of The Undead** Devil's lane*The next morning... Olivia fiddled with the crystal watch on her wrist, thankfully she didn't wake up with an headache , the pill was really effective,Venom walked in with a tray of food and a mirror.She arched her brows" What's the mirror for?"" To see how beautiful you look"He said with a straight face.He had never complimented her and she wondered what brought about the sudden change. Olivia took the mirror from his hands and she gasped in shock, her eyes were swollen and puffy, she hadn't bothered to wash off her makeup and the smeared eye liner made her look like the female lead of an horror movie." I look terrible "Venom shook his head" Terrible is an understatement, pampered heiress, are there any more tears this morning? "Olivia shook her head slowly, even if she tried so hard, she didn't think she would be able to shed a single tear." No, no more tears"Venom heaved a sigh of relief. " Master.Olivia mumbled quietly" Tha
*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
