The Captured Rebel Is The President's Pair

Legends said that when a drop of blood from a nymph fell to the ground, a red rose grew in its place.

Having never experienced it before, Amalthea wondered if she was soon to find out. As she surrendered herself to the cross in the middle of the colosseum, her eyes that were glued to the ground rose lazily after detecting his magnetic field.

He was finally approaching, she suddenly felt alive again, and her eyes were eager to hug the image of the man behind her current dilemma.

She whispered a now familiar plea to the water that hid deep in the ground where no man can see, a couple of obedient drops formed in her eyes on command. Once her pair looked her way, and she became sure that she was in the line of his mortal visual perception, the water drops slid down her cheeks, creating the perfect special effect she asked the water for.

“Do you come to me with an answer?”

Her voice shook like the notes played by the mournful autumn breeze. His steps took a faster pace, almost stomping the earth beneath him.

He was driven by his long-established loathing for her, he loathed what she was through and through, and she knew his answer before she even made the proposal that was doomed before its making.

Once his large figure was a few stones away from her cross, a yellow smile decorated his cruel features from beneath two bigger-than-average eyes that were the color of the midnight sky.

While his vibes were those of a predator wanting to rip apart his prey, her spirit was starting to get closer to him and simply deliver what he wanted more than anything else, even if what he wanted was her pain, her flesh, or even her sacred blood when she was in this human form of hers. Her pair was the sole master of her being. All the rules she had memorized and recited over and over again carried no more weight.

He spoke to her with his jaw shaking, his neck widening, and his temper raging.

“After all the agony your species have put us through? I will not be yours even if you were the last hope for humanity’s entire survival! Was that what you were waiting for before summoning the others to your rescue? Are you dead in the brains?”

The only man who was able to complete her spirit declared his rejection, too easily, not a single shred of regret marked his field. His words came so naturally just like a river ending up in its destined sea. His soulless eyes shone with a twisted pleasure that only madmen knew and loved.

As if his rejection did not do enough job to drain her already worn-out life force, he continued his onslaught joyfully.

“You know what this freakish proposal of yours is missing? It is missing some audience! MY MEN! MY LEADERS! COME DOWN AND HEAR FOR YOURSELF! HEAR OUT WHAT THIS WITCH IS SAYING TO ME!”

Heaps of men in black suits descended from all around the colosseum in a very organized way, she would have appreciated their order better if they were not approaching to walk all over her wounded pride, that same pride that was safe only a day ago.

Once they surrounded her from all over her 360 degrees and trapped her ego in just a small circle, her fated pair shouted to the heavens in pure glee.

“GO AHEAD WITCH! REPEAT WHAT YOU HAVE SAID TO ME! LET THE ODD WORLD YOU CREATED WITNESS HOW YOU ARE THE ONE WORRYING ABOUT YOUR DESTINY FOR A CHANGE! THE DAWN OF OUR VICTORY IS SOON TO INVADE YOUR SKIES! WE SHALL UNITE THE ISLANDS AND RESTORE THE CORRECT WAY FOR ALL MANKIND! DO YOU HEAR ME?”

Her tied-up hands rubbed the ropes that were holding her human arms to the cross, she searched for any kind of worldly pain to distract her weeping spirit from the public humiliation she never knew or felt before, she wanted to occupy her human shape with the much easier physical suffering that mortals unlike herself enjoyed.

She lifted the head that she was keeping down to the ground, seeking the comfort that the earth beneath her was trying to give. Her pair was shouting at her, and she looked him right in his lifeless eyes with the rarest happiness of witnessing your long-lost dream’s incarnation, just across from you. She spoke to him tenderly, not having to fake her identity in front of him for once.

“A tree that rejects the water and sun will surely wither away not so long after, it is not my destiny that has the priority of my concerns, it is you that I worry for, my beloved.”

In a circle full of her enemies, her pair was the only one to laugh out loud.

“Hah! the witch has gone mad with her lust over me! How is it like to get a taste of your own poison?”

The wind came shouting from over them as it blew fiercely to her aid, after it no longer could stand still on the side while the heiress was being insulted, it stopped abruptly after hearing one whisper that came out of her dry human form’s mouth.

“No.”

The gathered men started emitting waves and waves of their already suppressed fear, they did not know of her identity, but they knew well what her kind was capable of, and while the president could not feel their emotions or relate to them, he understood well what was happening inside their long-traumatized souls.

“You dare show weakness in the presence of your mortal enemy? The one that distorted your father’s way of living? Can you not see her weak body over the cross and under my mercy? DAMN YOUR COWARDNESS TO THE DARKEST PITS OF HELL! LEAVE MY SIGHT AT ONCE AND GET THE COUNSELOR HERE FOR ME! YOU ARE ALL SUSPENDED UNTIL YOU ACT LIKE REAL MEN AND NOT LIKE SHIVERING MICE UNDER THE FEET OF A LOWLY WITCH!”

‘Nature is fair, its fairness can be brutal’

These were the words Amalthea was turning around inside her head, she was getting bored with her pair’s attention being directed at his men instead of her, she wondered how long it will take before she wins him over, she knew that it was not going to be an easy task, but time was on her side, after all, time is something that she had in abundance.

While her pair was busy rightfully reprimanding his soldiers in her opinion, her thoughts carried her to the starting point of her current place and shape.
