69. Red Rage

Leviathan and Elise entered their home. Elise looked around to see the remnants of a party. There were people all looking at her. She didn’t recognize anyone. But what she did recognize was the wood floors. She remembered picking out the wood herself.

It had seemed so simple to her back then. She and Leviathan were going to just go on being happy but that was not the case. She had been to hell and back quite literally and now her mind was warped. As she moved through the house, she became increasingly irritated at seeing how women where eyeing Leviathan.

As they reached the staircase two familiar faces appeared in front of her.

“Elise it is good to see you.”

Baylor said. In truth Saxon and Baylor had grown very fond of her. In their minds they saw her as a great force. And constantly surprised even them who prided themselves on anticipating the moves of others.

“Saxon Baylor good to see you too.”

The both of them held a soft spot for her. They were the ones who had rescued her after all. In her mind she owed a debt. A debt she could never repay. She gave the men a smile and pulled them into a hug.

They melted into it. In a strange way they viewed her as their commander or even a mother figure.

“Cut it out.”

Leviathan said in a stern voice. He didn’t like the idea of anyone, even his sons touching what was his. Elise just rolled her eyes. At his remark. They released Elise from their grasp, and she stepped back. Then she grabbed Leviathans hand and led the way up to their room. She knew where it was, she had helped with the layout of this home. When she opened the large wooden doors, she saw them.

Several women laying naked on her bed. The one she was meant to share with Leviathan. She began to see red. The sight of naked women anywhere near him enraged her. She thought ‘how could he do this. I mean I know it has been years since we were together. In fact, to us it has been centuries and this whole time he has been fucking other women.’

She could not help herself she ran to the bed unleashing her black wings and pulling her double-sided sword out from her back. Then she jumped up on the bed stabbing one of the women in the arms pinning her to the bed she kicked the other one in the face.

The women fell back her blood pooling from her nose. Elise then moved her sword and stabbed the bloody women in the chest killing her. Then she went to face the other women. She began slowly to bring the weapon down killing her.

Leviathan just stood there watching. He didn’t know if he should intervene or just let her be. He knew she was erratic, and she did have the means to really hurt him. Just then an angel showed up to ferry the souls. She then grabbed at it.

“You are Elise.”

“Your right.”

Then she rammed her sword into his gut killing the angel. Elise stood there breathing heavily. Leviathan slowly approached. He put his hand on her shoulder and she spun around and held her weapon to his throat.

“Elise it is me.”

He said as he held his hands up. The rage in her eyes was apparent to him. She stood there a minute not recognizing him. Then she came out of her rage. And saw what she was doing. She lowered her weapon and looked around the room to see what she had done.

It had happened so quickly. She didn’t even process what she had done till she came out of the rage.

“Elise.”

“Why were they here.”

She roared at Leviathan.

“What.”

“Tell me how many women have you fucked since I was gone what was it one hundred one thousand tell me just tell me how many.”

“Elise, I didn’t”

“I don’t believe you. I mean let's see these women were here and they were naked. In our fucking bed Leviathan. I mean come on. It is bad enough that you fucked them but bringing them into our room our bed. Fuck you. “

She then turned to leave. Leviathan grabbed her arm.

“Elise I am not lying to you. I swear I did not touch anyone while we have been separated.”

“Get your hands off of me.”

“Not until you listen.”

“I am not going to ask you again.”

Leviathan stood his ground. Elise turned and punched him in the face. He still did not release her. She punched him again and he dodged it pulling her with her arm as he moved. She continued to thrash around and even pulled her weapon out. Seeing that he let go and punched her in the arm making her drop it.

Seeing what he had done enraged her even more. She didn’t even go for the weapon she went straight at him. Roundhouse kicking him. He went through the wall. She approached him but when she got there, he pounced on her.

Elise used her legs and pushed him off. The two had space between them and they stood facing each other. Leviathan did not want to do this, but he knew it was necessary. She needed to take out her anger and as much as she couldn’t tell herself he knew that she blamed him a small bit for what had happened to her.

He did not want to fight her. He didn’t want to hurt her. But if he didn’t fight back, she would go on with the built-up hatred. She had not gone for her weapon so he figured he would not remove his trident from his back. He not grabbing her double sided sword meant that she did not plan to kill him. This was going to be a fight with just their bodies, a silent way to move on from things.
