Sixty five

"Neo!" I spat venomously.
"Chelsea." He said flatly.
"You? But how?" I asked obviously confused.
"My name is Kratos and I humbly serve the master, I'm the spy sent to know everything about you and I was also the person who disguised and kidnapped Kayla, this is who I really am." He said briefly.
I nodded my head, this just confirms my suspicions but I was still curious on why I was kidnapped.
"What's my connection with your Master?" I asked him.
"Alaric sealed and almost killed the Master, only his blood can resurrect him, that's where you come in, when Alaric gave you half his heart five centuries ago; you became him totally, whatever happens to you would to him also, you have his core inside of you and your blood is golden as his, we will drain you of that blood and feed it to the master." He explained.
I nodded, this explains why my blood isn't red from the onstart.
"If you drain my blood, I'll die." I said I'm realization.
"And when you do, Alaric would also, killing two birds with a stone." He added.
This was their plan, I was the easier target, if they get rid of me, they also get rid of Alaric and there was no way I'd let that ever happen.
"No! There's no way I'll give you my blood." I said determinedly.
"This is an honor Chelsea! Give us your blood and we don't have to drain it, I requested for this just to let you live, for old times sake." He said convincingly.
I laughed.
"You're doing this for your own selfish purpose, I will never give up my blood, I'd rather die!" I declared.
"Don't make me do this!" He warned.
The woman got impatient with our little chat and stepped forward.
"Girl, if you give us your blood now, I promise that I'll speak to the master on your behalf and he'll let you live, you're beautiful; he might take you as his wife and you'll rule the world side by side." She offered.
"No thanks, I'd rather die!" I spat out.
"Don't force me woman." She warned.
“No matter how much you curse, I won’t do it!”
"You little witch!" She cursed.
"Get her blood! Get her blood!!" The crowd changed loudly.
The woman raised up her hands and smirked.
"You leave me with no choice Chelsea." She said and tried to slit my wrist but I managed to kick her.
She growled angrily and came at me once more, I tried to wriggle free but I was bound to the chair, I saw Neo's evil grin as he held me back, she slowly approached me and forcefully held my wrist, another man brought a golden bowl and placed it underneath my hand.
"For the Master!" The woman shouted and I closed my eyes as she made to stab, I waited for the pain but instead I heard the woman Yelp, I opened my eyes to she a dagger dangling from her shoulder.
Alaric's POV
I arrived at the northern wing safely and as I expected, their loyalty was unwavering, they welcomed me happily and swore their allegiance once more, I was happy my empire was returning to it's former glory, it was getting dark but I felt uncomfortable for some reasons, I tried to communicate to Chelsea but she wasn't responding.
I immediately knew something was wrong, I tried again to access her mind and when I finally did; it was in tumult, she was scared and also unstable.
I instantly wolfed out and ran as I've never before to the place I saw in Chelsea's vision, it was the tomb of Durilos; the dark lord I managed to seal years ago, they were trying to resurrect him using her blood.
I arrived just in time to see Mekiya try to stab Chelsea whom was strapped to a chair, I throw a dagger at her which stuck in her shoulders, she yelped in pain and turned to see me.
"Alaric." She spat venomously.
I could see Chelsea was excited as her tensed shoulders relaxed.
"Nice to see you again, Mekiya." I said mockingly.
"How dare you?" She roared.
"I told you didn't I? That the next time we meet I'll kill you off for good." I reminded her.
"You son of a gun!" She cursed.
I laughed.
"I only sealed Durilos for a little while and chopped off two of your fingers, and you ran around to kidnap my mate and try to resurrect your weak master? Fascinating." I taunted.
Her face turned red and I grinned wickedly, I walked confidently towards her, all of those present were scared, I was a force not to be reckoned with so they didn't dare to lift a finger at me.
"What are you all doing? Stop him!" She yelled.
I laughed mirthlessly.
"Anyone who dare do so will pay with his life." I said emotionlessly.
No one stepped forward and I moved closer to her, a boy I recognized as one of Chelsea's friends tried to stab me with a sword but I simply dodged it effortlessly and ripped out his throat in less than a minute.

Chelsea's Pov
I was relieved as I heard Alaric's voice, he had somehow sensed I was in danger and telepathically spoken to me, I couldn't concentrate so as to not aroused the suspicions of the evildoers so I granted him the vision to see where I was, he walked past me and stood before Mekiya.
"I'm getting rid of you today but before that." He said carelessly.
He came to me and untied me while Mekiya watched in horror, she tried to stab him with a dagger but he was quick to stop her.
"Don't you dare." He warned and she froze.
"Chelsea, just stand over there and watch me hm? I've missed you alot but let's finish up this, I'll be as quick as I can, okay?" He said lovingly.
I smiled and nodded in agreement, he leaned in and briefly kissed me on the lips, I stood aside and watched him.
