Die Already!

Bahm







Hunnie stands from the sofa with her fist clenched and small beads of sweat on her nose. "You did! Now, who's here!" She raises her voice in our link, her face red and angry.


Wait...in our link?


When did she....


How could...how could she hear us and reply in our link! It's only ours!




Kris had a mortified look on his face. The same look when he saw her eyes were the same color as mine!




I stood there frozen as Kris did as well. We both stared at each other in horror, then back to her.


"How...can she...?" Kris questions in our link.



"Uhhhh" Stuttering out loud, I was lost for words my damn self, but I needed to hurry and leave before the unrested guest makes a sudden appearance. I could already hear her groaning and smell her cancer.




I continued to stare at Hunnie. Looking for the right words to come out, but still completely shocked she communicated in the link belonging to Kris and I. How long has she been like this?



"Who's here Bahm?" Her fist unclenches as she speaks out loud. Her tone becomes softer, filled with worry as her beautiful and majestic eyes pierces into my dark soul.



"Someone I have to meet right away." I blurted, walking up to her to cup her perfectly round face and kiss her quivering lips. I turn to face Kris behind us who still had his eyebrows high in shock. "Kris I must go now. I'll be back shortly."



Kris finally blinks, asking Hunnie how long she could hear us. She doesn't answer and instead grabs onto my sleeve. She was concerned about me leaving, maybe thinking Anna had returned.



I grab her hands that felt much more warm than usual, and pecked her knuckles. "I'll be right back. I promise."



"But...I...." She looks away from me and her heart starts to beat irregularly. Then all of a sudden, she projectile vomits to her side! My eyes go wide, why is this happening now!



Kris rushes over to our side. I hold her up by her arm as she continues to upchuck our lunch.



I was becoming nervous. Time was ticking and the woman was getting closer. I didn't know what to expect from her.





"Kris I really have to go. She's getting closer!" They both look at me, questioning who, but they didn't this know this old hag. For I once banned her from my Kingdom centuries ago, so if she's lingering near by, then she's come to cause trouble.





"I know you smell already, you beast! Make your way here NOW!" The voice of the unwanted guest pings in my ear. "I'll be back. It'll be quick!" I only say and teleport, leaving them there briefly.




"Bahm! How can you just leave like this! Who the hell is here that's more important than your mate!!" Kris comes into the link, but I had no choice but to ignore him.




These are important matters and it could become deadly like last time she wondered back in.




Arriving just outside the skirts of our border, behind my castle in the forest, I come up a few yards away from her. The smell of her unhealthy body rotting away flooded my nose.




"What do you want Sylest! Come to die finally?" I gritted my teeth and prepared myself for any dark magic she may throw at me.


She pauses her walking and looks up with a smile on her face. Her walking stick gripped tightly in her fragile hands and her long, raggedy skirt filled with holes.



She sighed before flicking her long, white hair behind her. "There's been rumors you know." Her evil and conniving voice croaks.



"Rumors about...a dark witch that you may have hostage."



I snarled at her. How dare she even speaks upon my Hunnie!



"YEAH AND SO WHAT!!" I roared. My nails coming out and my fangs ready to bite into her flesh.



"So...
I WANT HER!
You owes me money and I've come to negotiate for less!
She could learn a thing or two from me and you are going to kill her anyways!" She looks at me so nonchalantly like I would agree with the old hag!



My body was beginning to shake in anger, who did she think she was to come around here making such demands!



I go to charge at her body, but I'm suddenly ricocheted away from her by a dark protective barrier spell she throws up suddenly. One similar to Hunnie's but older.


I land on my ass and quickly jump up to my feet. The old woman continues walking with her hands and cane behind her back and deeper into the woods towards my castle, ignoring me.


"WHAT ARE YOU GOING ON ABOUT OKD WOMAN!"




"You will give me this witch and I will disappear again. Once I see her as a threat then I'll just kill her myself. Doing you a favor."




"YOU WILL SHUT THAT MOUTH OF YOURS SYLEST! YOU ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE NEAR HER! HOW DARE YOU COME INTO MY KINGDOM SPEWING SUCH!" I roared and snarled, reaching behind the top of my spine and sinking my nails into my flesh.




Long ago as a gift, my birth mother crafted a sword from my spine magically. It's a part of me that I can easily dig out from the top of my back, pulling out the magical Slayer Rhachis! The sword that pierces through any magically created realms or protection barriers and having my dark magic and demonic energy pulsating through the crafted destruction made it hard to wield, so it's barely used unless my enemy's magic becomes a challenge.



I grunted feeling the blade slithering out of my back and Sylest turns around and snickers my way. After teleporting in front of her way and causing her to stop walking, she questions why I'm giving her such a hard time.



"Listen child." She uncrosses her hands from her back. "Do you want me to tell you what magic your bride has place upon you...Hmm...for the witch then? I know The Demon King doesn't like to be...bewitched."



Ahh...so it was Sylest that helped Cyn.



"I already know Sylest! Which is another reason why you can't have her, because you'll be dying today for going against my orders....AGAIN!" I began pacing around her barrier.




"Rumors obviously don't travel that fast because Cyn is rotting in her dungeons for her treason...and you." A smirk plays across her face and she shakes her head.



"Oh my! Don't you move fast!" She grunts and continues walking passed me with her translucent barrier around her.



If she didn't have this barrier around her then I would easily be able to twist her neck with my telekinesis!





"Then you should know already that the witch comes with a package. Two small itty bitty packages that'll make me look much young again!" She coughs an evil laugh before I swing my sword in the air, the wind hitting against the blade swiftly.



I have no idea what she's talking about, but she will not harm a hair on my mate's head!


I shift partially, my muscles all over my body throbbing and twisting. Ready to strike down her barrier.




"Once again Sylest...you old bitch...
You WILL NOT...go anywhere near my witch nor my castle!" I







"Bahm she's burning up! CAN YOU NOT FEEL THIS!!" Kris enters into our mind link hysterical, throwing me off guard.


I focused in on them back at the castle, sensing Hunnie indeed was running a high fever since I left.




"Ahhhh!!!...
Don't tell me The witch was the woman you were bewitched to forget now...was it! You can't possibly be fighting me this hard for a dead witch!

Hmmm.

Never in a millions years would I ever think The Demon King would become infatuated with a carrying, about to die, Dark Witch at that! Hahahaha!"


She leans over cackling like it was some big joke. Her barrier goes down in that split second while she coughed up her cancerous and black lungs.



Thinking only for my mate's safety, I threw my sword smoothly, piercing through her chest the impact sent her flying into a tree. The sword penetrates the tree along with her body against it. She hung there gasping and laughing while blood gushes out of her chest and mouth.


I walked up to the tree, eyeing the filthy witch that once used to be my old man's noble Witch Doctor. After he passed, the moment his hybrid if a son's magical powers surpassed her own, was the moment she betrayed my dead father.



Placing spells on me were nothing, but now she wanted my mate? There was no way I'd spare her anymore. Especially for helping Cyn.





"If you weren't so full of hatred and jealousy...then you would also have known that witch...is my mate.

Goodbye Sylest. I'll see you when you are reborn. Killing you every time for making me lose my memories of her."


Her eyes go wide and her mouth gurgles full of blood. I yank my sword from her chest, igniting her body in flames within the snap of my fingers.
