Facade - Part II
"Check the rooms on the right!" Kendrick hollered, and the warrior dashed in, throwing open the doors and peering inside. Kendrick pushed open the door in front of him and peered inside. He noticed a shadow and entered, clutching the weapon in his hand. A small pup sat in a corner, horrified and shaking violently. When Kendrick sat in front of him, the pup shrieked.
"It's all right. Come with me!" With a smile on his face, he extended his hand. The pup looked at his hand and his face, and when he recognized him, he jumped into his arms.
"B-beasts!" Kendrick knew he'd witnessed something terrible when the pup barely murmured.
"It's all right. You're safe now!" He ensures the pup and hands him to another warrior.
"Take him to the safe house!"
"Yes sir!" Kendrick gathered the warriors as the warrior rushed the child outside the packhouse.
"Keep your guard up. There could be something in here!" They all nodded, and he began leading the group through the dark corridor, even though it had no effect on their vision. They moved in formation through the hallway, making their way upstairs. When they heard the rattle of feet approaching, they ground to a standstill. They raised their weapons, aiming for the sound, and as it got closer and closer, their grip tightened. When they saw the owners of the footsteps, they visibly eased.
"Your Eminence!" Kendrick bowed his head.
"Kendrick! What's the status?" As Hilda and Liam stood beside him, Nicholas inquired.
"I've notified the battle regiment and the border guards. Other warriors are on stand by! The rest of those who are in a position to fight are in the safehouse!"
"Sweep the entire packhouse and brace yourself for a massive battle! Contact me when you're done. In the battle, I want you by Alpha's side!"
"Yes, Your Eminence!" Kendrick replied, and they all shuddered as something tore through the air running past them. They stared at the silhouette with wide eyes.
"Beta! Let's go!" Aiden yelled as he dashed downstairs.
"Yes Alpha! Kendrick dispatched someone to move Hilda to the safehouse. Liam follow me!"
"I'm coming too!" Hilda said, and Nick returned her gaze.
"You are not coming!" Nicholas growled and Hilda snarled back in response.
"I'm the angel of war! You cannot stop me from fighting!" Nicholas turned back and said calmly,
"I'm sending you to the safe house so that you can protect them. Most of the warriors are on the battlefield and I want you to be there to fight and protect our innocent females and pups!" Hilda took a sharp breath and nodded. Nicholas smiled and looked at Kendrick, he nodded and a warrior came forward. Hilda engulfed Nicholas in a hug.
"Be safe and come back to me!" Nicholas crashed his lips on hers and pulled back.
"I will. You be safe and protect them!" Nicholas and Liam moved towards the stairs as they followed Aiden downstairs.
"Let's go!" Kendrick yelled as they made their way upstairs. While the warrior took Hilda to the safehouse.
"I had the feeling something was off about you the you stepped in this soil that day!" As he heard the King of Demon, the silhouette rushing into the hall pulling a female with him came to a halt. He turned slowly around, a nefarious grin on his face.
"What a pleasant surprise, Your Majesty!" He grinned as he pulled the female by her hair in front of him,
"I was expecting you to figure it out sooner! What a pity!"
"I've got to say! What a fantastic facade, King Bruce!" Emmerich snarled and blew his hand towards Bruce, and fire sprout from his knuckles. He simply stepped aside to avoid the attack.
"You wish to hurt this little innocent wolf, Your Majesty?" He shook his head disappointment grabbing Faye's jaw. All this time she continued to thrash in his hold,
"I don't give a flying fuck about her!"
Emmerich re-aimed his fist at the male.
"Restrain!" When he heard a female yell, his body went limp. Except for his eyes, every part of his body felt tethered to something powerful from which he couldn't break free. The female walked closer to the man.
"My King!" The female knelt. When Emmerich saw the female's face, his eyes dilated.
"My love!" With a smile, he drew her up and pressed his lips against hers in a hungry kiss. He pulled back and walked closer to Emmerich.
"You call yourself a King!" He scoffed and kicked Emmerich in the head.
"I've always despised you Demons! Those horrendous monsters!" He got down on one knee and tilted his head to get a better look at Emmerich.
"I'll make certain that your existence is extinguished. And I'd like to start with you!" He stood up and turned to face the female.
"If you would do the honor, my love." The woman nodded and moved closer to Emmerich. With her claws, she tore the flesh and clawed out his heart, and his body was curtailed to ashes.
