Rani
Blood oath? The blood oath contract? Why would he do that? Are they insane? what were they thinking?
"A blood oath contract?" I said in disbelief.
"Yes" Raiden's father replied, nodding.
"Is this true Rudra? Tell me it's not true?" I asked. Hoping all this is some sort of sick joke.
"It's all true my pretty little demon" Rudra said, guilt written all over his face.
"Why the hell would you do that? Are you insane?" I asked feeling outrage.
"Did you make him do it?" I yelled. Pointing at Rudra's parents. They nod their heads.
"Why do that to him? Knowing the consequences of it?" I asked while trying to calm myself down. I don't want to cause any havoc on anyone.
"It's for my daughter safely. What else of course" Raiden's mother said like it was obvious. She need to watch her attitude. I just literally saved her life from Rudra's wrath.
"Watch your tone when talking to Rani or I'll burn you where you stand woman" Rudra growled as he was trying to get up after he recovered from the pain. I helped him get up on his feet. Raiden's mother shut her mouth. Rudra faced me, looking stricken.
"I didn't have much of a choice Rani. The elder council was involved. You got to believe me. Please" Rudra said with remorse.
"It's fine Rudra. Really it's fine. You didn't have much of a choice" I said honestly. It really was ok. I wasn't lying.
"No it's not. I should told you before but I there's wasn't the right time to tell you. I didn'tknowhow to tell you" Rudra rushed out.
"I said it's fine. Don't worry about it. I believe you. Take a deep breath, swamp beast" I assured him. Cupping his face and stroking his cheeks. He was holding my wrist, sadness in his eyes. Why does it feel like deja vu right now.
I looked around the hall and it's was complete in ruins. Rudra really made a mess of things. I need to fix this place right up. I took a step back from Rudra and started to walk towards the centreof the hall. He looked panicked. He grabbed my arm from stopping me from moving.
"Where are you going? Don't leave me. I'm sorry" he asked with panick in his voice. Wait he think I'm leaving him.
"I'm not leaving you so calm down" I replied. He shook his head.
"Where are you going then? I'll come with you" he rushed out.
"I'm not going far, Rudra. Please calm down" I said calmly. He shook his head again. I let go of his grip and and continued walking. I didn't walk far when Rudra pulled me towards him. Hitting my back on his chest. He wrapped his arm around me, protectively. Afraid I'll leave him any second.
"Rudra? What are you doing? Let me go. This is beneath you" I demanded.
"No. I'm not letting you go until we talk about this" he said. Holding me tight. A little too tight.
"Let me go this instance, Rudra. Get a hold of yourself. You're hurting me with your grip" I huffed out, trying to loosen his grip but he refuse to let go.
"No. Not until we talk this out" he stated.
"Just let her go. Clearly she wants to leave" Raiden mumbled. Rudra snapped his head towards Raiden. Flames in his eyes. For goddess sake does she have a death wish or something? She doesn't learn.
"Shut your mouth or I'll shut for you" he snapped. She huffed.
"And how are going to do that? It's not like you could do anything to me" she challenged. Rudra was shaking with fury. Flames started to rise from his body. He let go of me and started to walk towards her. Her parents looked at her like she out of her mind. The king and queen looked worried now.
"Raiden, what the hell are you doing? Are you crazy? Apologise right now" her father hissed.
"Why should I? It's true. He can't do nothing to me" she gloated. Her father went wide eyed.
"Listen to your father and apologise this instant" her mother demanded, disappointment in her voice. However, Raiden didn't looked scared; just ignored her parents and faced Rudra with a daring look on her face. She doing it deliberately. That b***h. Rudra looked lived now. He lifted his hand and was about to through flames at her. I have to stop him. I mindlinked him.
"Rudra, stop this now. Can't you see she deliberately trying to make you suffer" I hissed at him. But he kept on walking towards her. That man is stubborn as a goat. I run in front of him to stop him from doing something stupid. He stopped and looked at me. His face soften a little.
"Little demon, please move" he asked.
"I'm not going to move. You're just going to suffer. Let me handle this" I reasoned. He just looked at me.
"Please? Trust me. I know what I'm doing" I mindlinked him. He was studding my face like he was searching for something. After a few moment, he signed defeated. He nod at me.
"Ok. I trust you" he replied back. I kissed his cheek. He gave me a small smile. I turned around to face Raiden.
"I must say Raiden, you really do have a death wish. Pushing Rudra's bottoms. Tsk, tsk tsk, Risking your life like that" I said calmly as i could. She just scoffed. Giving me a dirty look.
"I mean, what do you think you're doing? What's your end game?" I ask rhetorically walking to her slowly. She started to walk back.
"What will you achieve by making Rudra suffer? Would it make you feel brave? Would it make your life easier to see Rudra suffer?" I asked.
"Stay away from him, demon. I warn you" she said nervously.
"Oh! Why don't you make me" I said simple with amusement in my voice. She just walked back as I kept walking towards her. She looked frightened now.
"I said stay away. I'm not afraid of you" she shrieked.
"I beg to to differ. If you're not afraid of me then why do I take a step forward, you take two step back?" I wondered. Giving her a wicked smirk. Raiden looked petrified. She turned to look at her parents for help but one look from me, they were frozen the spot. Raiden looked at Rudra's parents and they were also frozen on the spot when they looked at me.
"What's the matter Raiden? Ain't you going stop me from coming towards you? You did say you warn me after all" I mocked. She backed herself in the wall. Stopped right in front of her face. I lift my hand, she flinched.
"Don't hurt. Please?" She whispered. She was trembling.
"I'm not going to hurt. I'm not a monster" I assured her. She flinched again when I stroke her cheek with the back of my hand.
"There is no need to be afraid, Raiden. Believe it or not, I'm not a violent person" I said sincerely. She took a breath of relief.
"However, make that stunt again, I will cut my tongue out myself and I shove it right so up your ass you won't able to s**t straight. I'll make sure I'll invent horrific things that it will make you go permanently insane. Do I make myself clear" I said threatening. She nodded, tears started to come out of her eyes.
"I need you to say it, to let me know you understand"
"Y-yyes" she whispered, trembling.
"Good girl. I think we'll get along well if you behave good" I said honestly, patting her cheek. I stood up and walked to the centre of the hall again.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You made a huge mess of things here, swamp beast" I said disapprovaling.
"Sorry my pretty little demon" Rudra said sheepishly.
"It's ok Rudra. I know you can't help yourself sometime, sweetheart" I said thoughtfully. He smiled lovingly at me. I started to stretch then I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Focusing my magic going through my vains. I swirl right my hand, letting my magic reverse the damages around me. Everything started to repair itself. Going back to it regional form. Not long after, everything was back how it was like nothing has happened a moment ago. I took a deep breath. Looking pleased with myself. I turned round to see that everyone was stunned. Geeze it that much of a big deal. They act like they never seen magic before.
"Lets go swamp beast. I think we should let them be. Don't you think?" I said sweetly. Lifting my hand out for him to take.
"Of course my pretty little demon" nodding and coming up to me to hold my hand. We left the families and walked out of the food hall. On the way back upstairs I started to feel dizzy. I was wobbly on my feet.
"Rani, are you ok? You don't look so good sweetheart" he asked concerning.
"I'm ok Rudra. I just a bit tired. I think I over did it" I said softly. I felt woozy. Everything started to move around me. I collapsed but before I could hit the floor, Rudra caught me. Next thing I know, I fell unconscious. Only hearing Rudra panicking calling me in the distance.
"Rani, Rani, RANI"
