Audrey looked around while carefully avoiding his face. His inner chamber that housed his wardrobe seems to be a good place to hide till he leaves for wherever. She went in and started her daily chores. She carefully scouted his whole wardrobe hoping to find a clue. After what seems like an endless search, she was positive the magic book wasn't there. She ruled the wardrobe section out of where the book could be."Hang in there Azrail, I'll do my utmost best to bring ease to your pain soon." She promisedShe started pacing around Lord Adonis wardrobe praying silently for him to take his leave so she could comfortably carry out her mission. She couldn't bear to share the same space with him. She was making loud sounds with her shoes, but since she couldn't hear herself, she continued at it. Her continuous movement was starting to get to Lord Adonis ears who was getting some nap and got him infuriated in the process."Can you keep it low?" His voice thundered from his sleep. "Damn it, s
The girls all left the dinning hall except number fourteen. She waited behind so she could search the waste bin.She went to the waste bin and brought out the shredded pieces of paper, she emptied them on the dinning table carefully and speedily went through them hoping to find something that will reveal what they were talking about. She found nothing meaningful written in the shredded paper. Lucia had taken her time to get the paper shredded so that it was impossible to make something out of it.She had been living a quiet life in the palace of ice and soul ever since she came in but lately she has been feeling so small and unseen. She wanted more."You damn bitches" she cursed under her breath. Time was not on her side and she knew she had to catch up with others before they noticed her absence. She started packing the pieces of the shredded papers together when her eyes caught a word. "Wait" she emptied the waste in her hand carefully on the table without taking her eyes off the
Lucia stood thinking of what to do next. She can't let number fourteen threaten her the way she just did, otherwise it's just a matter of time, everyone will get wind of it. An idea hits her.Number fourteen walked back to the dinning table majestically and took her seat."Why are you seating down, when you're meant to do the dishes?" Number thirteen questioned her."Number eleven told me she would take care of it, so I do not have worry about it""When did I agree to that bullshit?" Lucia cut her off from behind before moving towards her. "Get up and do the dishes." Lucia roared without any trace of fear in her voice"You ... ""What about me?" Lucia asked confidentlyNumber fourteen was surprised at Lucia's new attitude but decided to play it by the ear. She won't want to throw her card to everyone ears, once she does that. It will be useless. " I see what you're trying to do but sweetheart don't mess with me." number fourteen sternly warning Lucia.The others were just looking at t
The girls woke up at the jingle of the bell. The atmosphere was tensed and the usual morning chatter was gone. Lucia tapped Audrey without saying a word to her. Audrey got up from her bunk immediately, she wasn't able to sleep causing her to have dark and swollen skin under her eyes. None of them said anything to each other.Though she tried to appear brave, Lucia was drowning in fear on how to tell Azrail about her carelessness. She continued to contemplate if telling him was a good idea or not.The girls gathered at the main hall as usual."Everyone is here, you can go to your various allocated quarters and start your chores. Good luck and remember to be safe" Lucia said quickly dismissing the girls. As she journeyed to Azrail's chambers, with each step she took, her legs were heavy but her heart was heavier. She envisaged what Azrail's reaction would be like. The usual excitement was gone and she deliberately slowed down her steps. After wat seems like forever, she walked into the
The girls arrived at the dinning hall ravenously filling their empty stomachs. Lucia was tensed and have little appetite. Tonight mission was dangerously weighing on her mind."Audrey lets talk""What are you guys always talking about after dinner?" Number thirteen asked"Does it bother you?" Lucia asked without looking at her "Is there any reason why I should be bothered?Lucia raised her head, turning to her " If I were you, I would be minding my business?" Lucia subtly warned her"Then stop acting suspicious every now and then.""Suspicious you say? On the contrary, I think you're jealous of our friendship" Lucia said holding Audrey's hand even tighter Number thirteen scoffed. "Friendship hmmmmmm? Can I join you then?""I'm sorry but I'll have to pass sweetheart. We are not compatible in any way." Lucia faced Audrey. "Let's go darling." She winked at number fourteen before taking her leave. Lucia held Audrey's hands and was leading to a place she wasn't familiar with."Second ma
The girls settled down in their room waiting anxiously for number for number fourteen to show up. At some point, some of the girls couldn't help it and were already dozing off.Number thirteen lie down on her side shivering like she had just been bought out of a river. She knows what had happened to number fourteen but she dare not tell anyone that they were waiting in vain and number fourteen wasn't coming back as she probably getting stiff by the second."I think something must has happened to number fourteen. I mean it makes no sense she is not here when she ought to be here by now, It's light out already." Number one panicked."I'm afraid I'll have to agree with you but I'll say we should go to bed now, tomorrow is another day. We can confirm our fears then." Lucia said before lying down on her bed. "Shouldn't we at least see her body at the rest room if something bad happened to her? Did she escape without us or something? Number five asked raising her eyebrow."And what would
Genevieve gave out a large scream as rage flashed in her eyes. There isn't no way she was going to let the burn slide. Lord Adonis threw another ball of fire but this time, she didn't try to dodge it, she used her left foot to raise earth and infused ice into it. The infusion of the three elements could hurt anyone, as long as blood was flowing through them. She was going to make him feel a sting of what she just felt. Genevieve successfully conjured an whirlwind.Osman and the rest of his gang were amazed at the level of her strength, they didn't see it coming. "What a crazy bitch." Osman said astonished at Genevieve strength to conjure a whirlwind. "Take cover boys." Osman shouted at the boys as the wind was becoming unbearable and they could barely keep their balance.Genevieve then infused herself into the earthquake to mask her movement as she approaches Lord Adonis with her eyes fully on aiming for his heart to strike him with one fatal blow. She was so sure of she would achiev
Now let the final duel begins." Osman voice came again and this time, it was meet with the melodious cry from the crowd. it was the finals and they had high expectations from the duel Swift and Venom stood opposite each other to contend in the final duel."I guess I do not need to introduce myself to you. My introduction has been done by my previous challenge, let's make it quick and rot in hell together." venom said "I'm sorry I can't join you now, you will have to rot in hell without me. You've got company already." Swift said referring to Jade whose remains were still burning. " I have no intention of joining you, at least not yet."Venom approached Swift with full force, in as much as he knew his time was limited as his vitals were already shutting down, he had intend utilizing it efficiently and putting up a good fight until his final moment.Swift quickly drew a plan in his head, he knew Venom was poisoned, he just had to tactically pull him around in circles while avoiding cl
