Chereads / Among The Shadows / Chapter 2 - Chapter1

Chapter 2 - Chapter1

Present

When my shadow could be my attacker, I would have to keep an eye on it for the Mumvuri.

I slowly concentrate on what's around me, feeling the heat on my neck, there it is.

I turn and throw a punch at the shadow form, but the shadow form disappears.

I manage to find it creeping by the walls in front of me. I feel the satisfaction course through me, it's time.

I take out a dagger from the sheath and in a second, I slash through the shadow.

The Mumvuri's real form lies on the basement floor, I look at it as I clean my sword covered in dark black blood.

"You filthy, meek human!!" he yells as I laugh, looks, like he craves for more trouble and pain.

I walk towards him slowly as I place my high heel on the beast's chest exactly where my dagger had slashed causing him pain, I look at him groan in pain lying on the floor.

"Now, I don't want to waste my time with you, where is Tacet?"

I press my heel into his chest as his claw tears the hem of my silver gown. "tell me now!" I yell at him.

He coughs out and whimpers losing his voice in the pain.

"Look who is meek now, you or me?" I laugh as he grips my leg hard. I push my heels deep into his bleeding chest. "Tell me.." I say a little calm after seeing him bleed out more.

'Why would I tell you that, human?" He asks again with not much fear as he smirks.

I sigh as I know this is gonna take more time. "Transform into a human now.." I press my heel harder into his bleeding chest.

He transforms into a human "Good pet, following the order you little beast pup." I say as I pet him tauntingly.

He stares at me, not managing to hide his anger anymore..

"Now tell me where is Tacet?"

I ask, as tears fill my eyes thinking about how I miss him..

" Him? did you not know that I killed him?" he said as he laughs, I take out my dagger...

I stab him with no mercy at all, over and over again even when my eyes are filled with tears. "You killed someone so important to me!" I yell out loud.

I use the Mumvuri death portion and I force the portion bottle into his mouth while he screams and thrashes down on the floor, his face pale and his nerves shown out black and his blood all dried up.

I throw the glass bottle down with all my anger and it shatters. "You might want to know who I am.. I am Ferox, daughter of King Vlad and Tacet is my brother." I say as I close my eyes and cry.

His body turning into ashes that wont leave any evidence.

I fix my hair and my gown and wipe my heels on his clothing that was left out and I walk into the party and exit the hall.

I pull my phone out as it rings and I hear Damien talk to me, "Avery, I have come to pick you up."

"Yeah alright I am in the alley beside the gala hall." I respond with a quivering voice as I cry silently..

"What happened Avery? Are you okay?" He asks.

"Liam is dead.." I say as I feel how painful it is..to lose one of my brothers.

"No! Was he the one? The one you were sent to kill!" He yelled

"Yes, he said that he killed Tacet." I say as I cry more.

"Okay calm down Avery, I will be there in a few more minutes." He says as I nod to myself and place my phone in my purse and wipe my tears.

The black BMW stops in front of me as Damien rushes out towards me...I hug him as I cannot hold in my tears anymore.

"Ohh Avery, this might even be a lie don't worry, we will find him." He says

"He means so much to me, he wouldn't leave me alone." I say as I look at my hands.

He raises my chin up, "If he did leave, he left all of us not just you Avery, now let's go.."

He says as he kisses my hair and opens the door for me.

I sit in the car and stare out into the dark hoping he was somewhere near..
