Chapter 107 So afraid
RAELYNN'S POV.
"What do you want from me?", My voice left me almost inaudible as l questioned Brian. It was now three days ever since he captured me. My last conversation with him left me annoyed and l cursed as he walked out of my cell. Throughout the days, I was fed like a prisoner and l didn't hear anything from Zara, whenever I asked Brian he only laughed.
I knew it in my heart that wherever Zara was, she was fighting hard to escape and look for me.
"What do you want from me Brian?, Why did you abduct me?", I asked again. This time he narrowed his eyes and that darkness inside of him made me fearful of the answer. "I thought you know it already", He hissed it in my face.
"I just your powers",
"My powers?", My eyes narrowed at him and I shook my head in disbelief. He abducted me all because he wanted the powers their moon goddess gave me. "Magic is really wonderful, didn't you feel happy when you realized that you the only Luna who was blessed with healing powers?", He asked.
"No", l shook my head but I swallowed quickly when l saw darkness flicker behind his eyes once more.
"Of course a foolish human like you doesn't know the advantage of having those powers",
"Good enough l have you under me, am gonna get those powers",
He stood up and threw his arms wide jovially as though impressed with himself.
"You really greedy and selfish, even after chosing darkness over your family, you still want my powers", l hissed out as l watched him. "Yes am greedy and selfish", His brows shot up, his forehead and his smile flashed his teeth but his eyes didn't reflect a wholesome joy you might see in someone acting as he was.
"And luckily for me l have a powerful ally. Magic is really wonderful and l need yours too", A lopsided grin spread over his face and there was a twinkle of joy in his eyes that caused a shiver of fear to race up my spine. His eyes held something dark... Held something wrong.
"You really a sick psycho", l hissed out but l felt hurt when I moved my neck. Whatever he injected into my neck, weighed down like a stone under water.
"Call me whatever you want", He moved until he was nearly right up against the bars and squared down to sneer in my face like a wild animal that had cornered it's prey.
"I told you that I want your magic and there's only one way of getting it...", l didn't respond to him.
"You a human, who doesn't know how to use your magic so....", His voice trailed off as he stared with empty eyes at a spot on the stone wall behind my head.
"Keep on planning but just know Idris is coming for me", My jaw tensed up and I kept my lips curled.
"You right he is coming but there will be nothing left of you , by the time he will escape from the scientists l will be done with you", Something in his voice made my stomach to lurch and violet shivers ran up my back and across my arms.
I did try my level best at keeping myself from visibly shivering in fear but I was too vulnerable right now. I knew it in my heart that Idris might save me but it will be perhaps late. With all the strength l could muster, l slowed my breathing and thought about the powers that hid in my core. There was a reason why Brian wanted my powers.
I tried my best to use them but whatever was coursing through my veins was blocking the access to the fickle magic l struggled to possess.
A brief smile flit across Brian's face as though he could see the turmoil raging in my eyes. I wanted to claw those eyes out of his skull but I couldn't even move my hands.
"You won't be going anywhere Raelynn", His voice lowered as he growled at me. "There's a lovely concoction of dead man's blood and night bane coursing through you as we speak. A great little mixture that my friend whipped up to keep down a person with magic. I was worried at first, thinking that it won't work on a human like you but since it has worked, just know that you in danger. Any mistake done will surely not ruin your life but.....", He paused then pointed at my belly.
My jaw dropped as his words hit me as if he had slapped me across my face.
~ A dead man's blood~
Did l hear him right?. He injected a dead man's blood in my neck and now it was coursing through my body.
"Am not lying, l did it", He only smiled at me further as he read my face reaction.
.lFear coursed through me as if a burning hot iron was shooting through me. This was seriously unbelievable. He injected a dead man's blood minding less about my babies. My fingers twitched with the urge to lay on my belly for the little lives there but I didn't. My breath was coming in hard as fast as my anger escalated inside of me like a tornado picking up speed.
The air around me and the stupid son of a bitch felt still as if all oxygen had left the dungeon where l was being held. My jaw ached from the force of clenching and unclenching as my heart raced with worry. There was nothing more that l wanted than to reach over and grab his throat and rip his head from his shoulders .
But the look in his eyes and darkness hiding beneath the surface told me l was in danger and l believed him.
I was weak.
My babies were in danger and l was too weak to do anything about it. A potentially lethal concoction they injected me surely trapped me this time.
I shivered not from the cold but fear. He injected me and then here he was planning to take my powers; that only meant that healing my babies was going to be impossible.
"It's time to have those powers, my friend is on her way here Vandeer Blight, the best necromancer", All the remaining color drained from my face when l heard the name. This wasn't a witch but a necromancer. He chose a necromancer over his family.
This selfish and deranged man wanted to take my powers for himself. I was already afraid but some thing terrified me more. This necromancer had black magic to bring back dead people, she was definitely going to kill me. I was in fact l was already a dead person. Dead man's blood was already coursing through my blood.
