Yes, hatred would always appear and you may not be able to shove it away. It can nail you down but you got to be lucky and don't lose your life if you care about it at all! This time Asaya couldn't swallow it down and made her out of temper! Like a black panther concealed in the dark attacked him from behind.
She dragged him to the dark corner where she was watching the light already! She grabbed his neck with her left hand while she was holding her dagger in the other one. Pressed it on his neck. It made him bleed. The blade absorbed that lenis red liquid. Without that this devil was nothing, but no longer a useless flesh.
"From mother to daughter, what a familiar scene", he gazed at the dagger and grinned. She amazed. How did he know about her mother?
"Don't be wrong, I'm not here to kill you because that's our difference, you kill without hesitating, now tell me why do you hate me? How do you know my mother? You killed the king because of power but there is a grudge you have inside yourself toward me, I could have seen it in your eyes from long ago. Behind those filthy smiles, you passed me on your face." She mumbled.
He laughed, "You are a smart girl just like your mother! Let me be straight, she rejected my proposal, and then she ran away with your coward charming father. She could become my queen. They got married, that's why I hate you, it started all from that moment and you are a part of it. The only wealth that your father and boastful grandfather care about. I really wanted to kill your father in that alley but he was still lucky and don't worry when the time comes along I will kill you in front of him and that's when his end arrives! As I did before, yes Asaya I killed your mother and your stupid father doesn't even know me".
Asaya was pushing her teeth together out of anger. Couldn't sit there and sob like a little girl because some weirdos bullied her. But she smiled, instead didn't allow him to watch her weakness, "you will just see it happening in your dreams, know that until I'm alive you can't even touch me, old hyena you will pay for my mother's death".
Guards entered the main hall directly. Asaya used him as a shield and said, "Stay where you are or I will cut off his throat. No one cares about a devil's death."
She stepped back to Anahid's room. The door got open.
"Asaya get in!" Anahid shouted.
She threw him to soldiers. He touched his throat while Asaya entered the room and locked the door behind, then she grabbed Anahid's hand and stated, "You go first then I'm coming after you".
She wrapped a rope around her waist and attached the hook to the bed. So the princess flew down. Pouyeh was crying out asking his men to ruin the door.
It was her turn. She was on the edge of the window looking down to see if Anahid reached the boat. The door got broken. An arrow ripped her arm. Asaya was in so much pain! It was a reminder of the night Zia got hit by an arrow to save her. He tasted that sharp sore twisting over his brain. Like spider web weaving over the head, wring it the much to extract the last drop of soberness.
"Come on, Asaya", Oria was yelling out.
"Jump, I'll catch you", Angel Keen ordered.
Asaya ignored everything. A thought came to her mind. Couldn't control it. It was like spells on her. Controlling her moves. Angel Keen heard the voice of a female in her head, not Asaya's one. She used the rope and flew down. Pouyeh sneered. Grasped a bow shot the string. The sharp peak tore it up. On her way down she slipped because of her painful wound and the slab blood. She unhanded the rope. Freed herself. Held her breath. Then fell into the river.
The arrow squeezed in. Made her groan. She closed her eyes. Let the water hug her. It was heavy hearing that he killed her mother this puzzle got even more complicated. what was going on exactly? The pressure made it hard for her to breathe. She was drowning while thinking about the guard's faces. Their eyes filled in hate, "It was always really easy to believe lies. It is how that big demonic giant awakes inside us, only with a small flip! First, we make a mistake then we lie to ourselves, then to others and when the rage was set out to fill our hearts it creates poisonous emotions like envy, hatred, the lust for power, exactly like a poisoned seed. It grows its roots spread under the earth. A tree will rise which has colorful thorny flowers but when you touch it nothing can rescue you! That poison will drain your soul! Then realizing we aren't human anymore just devils in human clothing, what a story, those who respected me one day, now tried to kill me for the bounty on my head." She thought and let out the last breath. Who had the spell on her body that she couldn't even move?
"Angel Keen you can be another reason for me to survive, here is too cold", she talked to her without using her mouth. This time she paid attention to her warnings.
******
When she fell into the water, Angel Keen felt a shake in her entire body! Screamed and tears of an angel poured into the river. It roared, the river soul went on a rage and made the boat moving to the sides. Attempted to obey the Angels order. The sky filled in a sudden cloud. Flashed to reveal faces, seemed it was a battle declaration from heaven court. Her body the same as Capella on clear nights glowed. She gave it a nose dive to the river. The great wings followed the order and speeded.
"Hang on Asaya I'm coming to you", Angel Keen called her.
She knew that if she touches her will lose the wings for the next twenty-four hours. But had to do something so reached her hand to Asaya. Her eyes were almost shut but unexpectedly she opened them and the light approached. Her mouth fell open. The Angel dragged her up. Her soul was more wounded. The wings started to vanish. She felt the cold, water, and every sense that a normal body can taste. She swam until she attained out on the surface. Oria and Anahid grabbed and helped them out.
