Chapter 89

Zara

“Stop this or he dies.” the Kukukan threatens, holding Luther with a sword to his throat.

My steps falter as I pull out my hands from soneone’s gut. The colour drains from my face as I think of what might happen if we don't act well.

Is he really going to kill his only true relative?

If he killed his own daughter surely he could kill my brother. Tears gather in my eyes.

This couldn't be happening, I just found him, I can’t lose him now.

He is nice, way nicer than my father ever was, and I like him a lot.

I obey the weasel called my grandfather. If only he wasn’t so weak then he can fight us giving me the chance to rip him apart for all the pains he has caused me.

I snap my head towards Melanie, staring at her lion as she slowly moves around, her eyes trained on her prey.

Please don't do it Mel, please.

Her white orbs flash with recognition and she turns, her hair retracts, claws go back, paws turn back to limbs as she stands fully to her human height.

Vines moves around, wrapping her from down up in leaves so her naked body is not in sight.

The Kukukan smiles, his teeth brightens out as an evil smirk finds its way up to those disgusting lips.

“Hold him.” he instructs, his eyes strained on Melanie.

A soldier takes over, placing an even sharper sword by Luther’s neck.

Tears pricked at the back of my eyes, fighting them back down I keep my eyes strained in Luther trying to find any opening.

Luther cast his eyes down immediately they meet mine. It's okay.

I really want to tell him how I am not mad, even I wouldn't think the Kukukan would go as far as wanting to harm his heir.

I turn my head, we are surrounded by soldiers so attempting to attack anyone is like signing Luther’s death permissions slip.

The soldier holding Luther moves further away, making it impossible to reach them without Luther getting hurt.

A sharp scream pierces me out of my thoughts.

My head snaps towards Mel, the Kukukan buried an electric blade in her guts.

Her face goes red as her breathing hardens, coming out in pants as electricity passes through her being.

Veins pop around her face, a thick black one is prominent by the side of her neck.

The tears fell down my eyes, unable to keep it in any longer.

“Just make sure he never escapes that hold.” Mel growls, her voice dripping with venom.

“Hahaha ha!!!!!” he bursts out laughing.

Without missing a beat he plunges out the sword, moves to the side swiftly, and buries the same swords deep in my belly.

The pain is so unexpected, it has me tumbling about. My hands shoots out to clutch onto my stomach.

The electricity passes through my veins, but doesn’t cause much damage because I also control it.

Melanie's blood pump out, pouring to the floor for a second before the injury closes up.

She doesn’t look fazed, no instead her eyes are fucking black.

Oh shit!!!!

She can’t loose control now.

Footsteps picks my ears, lots of them like people running towards us echo throughout the village.

Dragging his sword out with more force than necessary he stalks back towards his only escape.

I clutch onto my stomach as the blood slowly reduced to nothing not more than a trickle as it healed.

A movement catches my eyes. Luther swiftly ducks down, dragging two soldiers as they nodded themselves.

He springs back up, his fist going into one of the soldiers' bodies just before the Kukukan could get to them.

I don't think I just lung forward, my teeth find a flesh, and I pull hard until it comes off the owners.

Blood splattered all over my face, but that was the least of my concerns.

“MELANIE, ZARA!!!” those voices.

My head snaps towards the owner, lo and behold Bion is running towards us in full speed.

Origen, Tios, The twins, Julie fast in his tail.

It stings that Macho isn’t one of them, it stings that he didn’t get to just float on air, and kill as he wants.

He didn’t deserve to die like that, he didn't deserve to be killed like a measly peasant.

Fire warns its way up to my chest, a deadly growl leaves my throat as I lung forward.

Forgiveness is good, but sometimes drastic actions requires drastic consequences.

A soldier whips an electric whip around my neck. I turn around my eyes going impossibly darker as a dangerous growl leaves my throat.

They will all die.

~~

Melanie.

My hands tremble, my insides are on fire. I place my hands over my ears as I try to reign in my feelings.

“Let me out.” she growls from the inside, clawing at me furiously.

I won't, you are not going to take over.

“Melanie!!!! What are you doing here?” Bion snaps, his fist clenched as his eyes twitch slightly.

His voice shuts down the demon in me, but not the rage.

“Killing them all. They shall taste my wrath. Mercy shall they plead yet none will I ahead. Their blood will be like wine for me.” I respond darkly.

My eyes train in on their measly Kukukan as he tries to make a run for it.

A smirk creeps up to my lips, murmuring a few words that made his feet bow to me, and refusing to move like he wants.

I stretch out my hands, “Ahh!!!!” The way his scream sounds so nice, filled with pain, soothes my soul.

With just a step I am in front of him, my hands shoots out to grab his neck. My fingers press harder as oxygen slowly leaves his body.

Zara is beside me in an instant, baring her fangs into his neck, “Stop!!!! Please, I beg of you.” he screams.

Scream that feels like music to my ears, my lips move on their own accord casting him to pain with no death.

I yank his hand hard, a bone moving out of his elbow rearing its ugly head to the world.

“I am sorry!!! Have mercy please!! ”

“Mercy? Did you have mercy on my mother when all she did was to fall in love?” she dips her claws into his eyes, gauging them out.

He screams echo throughout the village as electricity passes from him into her.

“Did you have mercy when my mother begged you?” she plunged out the eye with force popping it into her mouth.

She chews aggressively as some liquid finds its way out of her lips down her jaw.

“Did you have mercy when you let your soldiers kill my friends? When you waged war on the innocent all because of your ignorance?” she says, her voice venom dripping with venom, but they are still as calm as ever.

She plunges out the other eyes, I rip open his stomach to have fun with his organs.

I pull the intestines together forming a knot. She pushes him to the floor, climbs on him and tears him apart screaming.

“SHE DIDN’T DESERVE THAT, I DIDN’T DESERVE TO NOT HAVE MY MAMA, I DIDN’T DESERVE TO LOSE MY PAPA. DID YOU HAVE MERCY ON MACHO? OR THE OTHER FIFTY FOUR THAT DIED ALONG? NONE OF US DESERVED IT. YET YOU NEVER HAD MERCY. YOU DON’T DESERVE MERCY!!! JUST DIEEEE!!!”

Her eyes are full blown dark green, making her look more scary as it contracts with her dark skin.

When she is done with his body is just a pile of blood with barely any skin to show.

She slowly rises up, her hair a puddle of messy skin, and blood.

An arcindian soldier marches towards Zara, I get ready to take out his entire being when he does something that shocks my entire being.

He drops to his knees, head bowed down as he chants, “Long live the Kukukan.”

Every other arcindians that is alive, falls automatically to their knees chanting at once.

“LONG LIVE THE KUKUKAN!!!”

What the hell?
