Chapter 9 - AT THIS POINT ITS POINTLESS TRYING

[Earth; human realm]

 

''Ha!'' I gasped landing roughly on the hard floor, it was dark I guessed cause couldn't feel the burning of light.

''Well well well'', I heard Lucinda's voice echo in the dark,'' you've started growing wings haven't you?'' Just like your mother she unfortunately flew past her limit and ---, she paused.

Her saying this put slight suspicion in my mind but was dismissed when two guards came in. ''Take him'' – she ordered then walked out.

They grabbed my arms and this time I didn't even bother struggling, I let them lead me to a steel door tagged glass room. Mr. Eric would throw me in here anytime he was told to by Lucinda almost as thou he was under a spell. I mean why else would a father throw his own son into a room as such?

It was basically a punishment room on earth, with spikes and shards of broken glass standing straight up and sticking out of the floors and walls, with no place to sit or stand without getting pierced multiple times, no ordinary human could survive such which made me question my existence.

I thought I'd be sent to the archery room were I'd be used as a target for the Gomez brothers to play with, at least that was significantly better than this.

After opening the door I was thrown in by the guards.

''Aaaaahh!!'' I growled in pain as glass scraped through my body piercing deeply into my flesh, blood I could smell blood, my blood that gushed out of my and a pool immediately around me.

Thou I could not feel any pain because I was too used to it, by now I'd even say I was immune to pain. – I taught back to her hoping I could fulfill my promise before I die but at this point it was pointless trying.

Rummaging my mind for that picture of her, the incredibly breathtaking smile of the one person who trusted me—shared and gave me something, the person who made me feel loved. 

No! I will not fail to fulfill my promise, if I had one more reason to live it's for her, I had to pursue my pointless attempts till they made points, I had to – for her!

I slowly got up as the shards slid their way out of my body more blood flowed out, Aaah! I growled once I did. I had to get my hands on the ground to stand and the shards went straight through them sticking on the other side, I stood slowly and then removed my hands out of the shards.

 Anger boiled through my veins so much I began punching the 11 inch thick door leaving imprinted fist marks on it.

The guards outside were confused but the punches did not stop till one punch went through the door, a guard peeked through the hole, ''hay peanut what do--'', he was interrupted by my punch sending him flying to the other side of the corridor, panicked the other guard called for backup using the walky-talky 

I kicked the door open and it flew to the other side of the corridor as well, the you can guess what happened to him.

Walking out just to see the lovely family having dinner I clenched my fists, Lucinda stared at me obviously stunned, ''what are you doing here she asked''.

''Oh me'' I asked in a challenging tone, ''I came to say hello to my dearest fath—MR.Eric''.

Eric raised his gaze seeing 16's pure white cloche soaked throughout with his own blood he looked away with indifference evident on his face.

''Who was my mother to you!!'' I growled in irritation, ''ANNS—ER ME!!'' I demanded.

''Who killed her!'' 

Lucinda couldn't use her witch powers in front of her human husband to detain me; all she could do was call for guards who took him to him to a room where he'd be whipped by sharp iron chains.

[Loid's p.o.v]

Sitting lazily in the living quarters I taught, we were now going to school basically to fool my dumb dad think we were normal kids, my mum married him just for his wealth and to use as a disguise, I wasn't human – I was the heir to the demon throne of my real fathers kingdom 'Luther' aka the demon emperor.

But unfortunately my human father had a contract to marry a young maiden of the Taylor family, my mother however put him under her hex, and although he ended up marrying the girl she was more of his plaything than a wife, mom took care of her in the end.

''Hay loid!'' , I heard someone call, my eyes flickered open to see Leon in front of me, he had a bag on his left shoulder and black neck length hair slightly messy showing off a cool arrogant aura and wearing a well defined suit, he was the eldest of the triplets a refined beauty.

''We have to leave now'' he said and I got up, ''you know we can never get in trouble why little brother stresses?'' I said adding the last part specifically to tick him off but he'd never show if he was ticked off – come to think of it his face barely had emotions on it.

Outside was a black maybach car and inside it I could see leom and Levi, leom played with his phone while Levi as always silent and cold closing his eyes. I had to admit he was the most handsome brother in us all; he had blackish purple back length hair curly and slightly messy that matched his exquisite and rare purple eyes an amazingly ethereal handsome face he was devilishly handsome.

 At school popularity was our main factor, known as the Gomez brothers or the hot & handsome four, the playful one leom, the arrogant one me, the cold and reserved one Levi and the mature and respectable one Leon.

Hay loid!

I turned around to see who called me; a girl with long black hair blew me a kiss before running away.

[16's p.o.v]

Being whipped was one thing but when the whip is tied with sharp razor like daggers and blades that dig into your skin removing parts of it at each whip then it's something else. I groaned in pain rolling on the ground thinking when would this nightmare end? Would there be a day I'd wake up and be happy?

After just being whipped repeatedly the whole week without food or water, now I was left alone still wondering why I wasn't dead yet. Why couldn't I die? Severally I had tried but I was cursed to be tortured alive.

There was a ringing in my ear now which got louder and louder by each passing second, I covered my ears with my hands in an attempt to cancel out the noise. A sudden throbbing in my head made it worse and the seal on my neck tingled as it heated up.

''Aaaahh!'' I shouted in pain, what is this? It was worse than any punishment I'd ever faced and excruciatingly painful. I closed my eyes trying to remain calm then inside my dark mind I saw something move, ''who's there?'' Was there someone else in my mind?

No response—

Following its small light then stopped---- it was completely gone like it had vanished.

Just like a flash of lightning I felt something move past me, I turned and was dumbfounded---

The blinding golden light made me close my eyes [I don't want to be blind inside my head as well] and when I opened them I was stunned beyond words. A beast stood before me and shining so bright I couldn't see it clearly just its claws that alone with me I could seen as a speckle of dust when comparing us. 

Just as I moved it came straight for me, my eyes widened and my heart raced. Run run a voice in my head told me but I stood there like I was paralyzed and had no control of my body.

''AAaaahhh!!!'' I shouted feeling like a mountain had been thrown towards me and my subconscious body flew to the other side of the room imprinting to the wall before falling down.

There was a raging fire burning intensely in my heart worse than real fire, I yelled in pain for the first time ever truly feeling what it was like to die.

He's subconscious body was ignited in a pure golden fire, as the fire engulfed my body I floated mid air at the center of the room. I heard a loud roar that made my ears tingle; it was so loud that it could be heard throughout universes.
