DARIUS P.O.V
I pushed the door a little harder than i had expected, making the handle of the door snap in my hands. “Mika?” i called, not even giving a shit about the broken metal in my hands. I was met with echoes, making me want to scream but i took a deep breath instead.
I walked towards the drawers, empty. Every single cloth that was usually folded neatly into the drawers were gone.
“Mika, this is not funny” my voice becoming desperate by the second. I opened another door in the room, trying as much as possible not to go crazy, but it was the same thing.
Empty.
I felt every fiber of my being shake.
“Beth!!!” my voice boomed through the roof, my steps heavy against the marbled floor as i made my way to where beth was.
There was no way she could have just decided to leave, this was definitely beth or at least someone that had been studying her for as long.
“Beth!!!” i screamed again when i went into the servants floor.
“My lor-” she was cut off by me holding her throat rather tightly.
“where the fuck did she go to” i growled, looking at her with hate.
“i don’t…” i tightned my hold on her, looking her straight in the eye.
“i would suggest you don’t try to lie to me right now.” my voice was no longer recognizable at this point, as my dragon was very much close to the surface. It felt as though she was going to pass out so i let go of her. enough that she could take in more air before she passed out but not enough for me to let go of her.
She took in big gulps of air, tears in her eyes as she looked at me. “you would hurt me for someone else my lord?” she said, her voice innocent.
“test me” was all i said as i tightened my hands back on her. “i will end your life in the next ten seconds if you do not give me the answer i need, and i would send your remains to your parents for them to feed on, before i take them out myself” i watched as her eyes widened as i called her parents. She looked genuinely terrified.
“i don’t… i don’t know” she cried, tears streaming down her face as she looked at me. “ i was trying to do the spell to take her to the human world but… something went wrong” i felt my hands loosen a bit from shock and something creeping in my chest.
“what do you mean but?” the fear could not be hidden from my voice any longer.
“i tried.. i did not really mean to hurt her…” she continued but i was done listening to what she had to say as she was not speaking coherently at the moment.
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY BUT!!!” i screamed, shaking her rather aggressively.
“she went in another realm but not completely!!! i yelled, trying to get out of her hold and i let her. It felt as though my whole world was standing still as she spoke.
“what?” i said barely a whisper as i was breathing heavily and looking at her like i had been slapped across the face. I might not have been slapped, but the effect of her words were just the same.
“i tried to bring her back, my lord.. i really did. I thought i was doing the right thing but…” i tuned her out, trying to think of a logical way i was supposed to act in this situation but nothing seemed to be coming to mind.
“she could die.” i said, looking at her with horror. The longer she stayed in limbo, the harder it would be for her to come out. It would be as though she never existed.
“open the portal back!” i said, walking closer to her. She took a step back, most likely thinking that i was going to hurt her again but that would just be me wasting time.
“My…” don’t make me ask you again Beth.
her hands shook, as she took white sand from her pocket. I looked at her. Something did not seem right. The fact that she knew the spells she wanted to cast without any book, as well as its proceedures, or the fact that she readily had white sand in her pocket. But i did not care.
I needed Mika safe first before i could start questioning her. That was only going to waste time that i did not already have.
Just as the circle was about to be completed, she stopped, looking at me as she shook her head.
“i am sorry but i can’t” she said, the tears streaming down her face as she looked at me like i had betrayed her or something.
“this is not the fucking time to-”
“then when is the time!!!” she screamed, cutting me off which, no doubt shocked me to the core. “i have waited for you! I have prayed that for once, you would look at me with half the affection you use to look at My lady”
“I have treated you right from the start” i said, minutes away from pulling my hair from the root. “so why would you do this now?”
“you have never looked at me as a woman!! am i not pretty enough? Am i not smart enough? What’s the difference between us? We are both human! We are both tall and curvy with just the right amount”
“for the love of the goddess Beth!!”
“i have to know!!!” she yelled but i was done with this. I walked out, looking at the nearest guard at the door step.
“get her parents. Bind them legs and hands and i want them here by the next second” he nodded, running to carry out his assaignment.
I walked back into the room. “you better start doing it” i said, a calm facade washing over me.
“why would you even give this much care for someone that does not even look at you even half the way you look and care for her?
