"What sort of insolent behavior is this from you two?" asked Azazel, he was angry and he did not hide it, he looked like he was about to kill someone any second now.
Selene and Nia were standing in Azazel's office, they were bruised and they looked ruffled up, Nia kept her head down while Selene looked like she was being wrongly accused, her hair was scattered everywhere, and especially on her face, and she angrily blew the strands in her face away.
"When one the rogues told me that they had heard two witches fighting, I could not care less" said Azazel
"And yet, here you two are" said Azazel as he did not look pleased at all.
Imagine one of the rogues barging into his office, telling him that a fight is going on, and he did not even care, he believed that whatever caused the fight should be settled by them alone.
It was not until another witch rushed into his office, saying that Selene of all witches was fighting with her new maid, the news had spread all over the camp.
"Selene what sort of nonsense is this that I am hearing about you" said Azazel
"Of course there is no need to ask, seeing as you are looking like you just came out from a tornado" said Azazel
"But-" said Selene
"But nothing" said Azazel as he shunned Selene immediately, he did not want to hear whatever nonsense she had to say to defend herself.
"It seems like you have finally become an animal" said Azazel as he insulted Selene.
"But-" said Selene as she looked angry, she was trying to explain how this wretched girl disrespected her.
"Because animals are the only things that do what you just did" said Azazel
"You fighting with a maid, what sort of rubbish is this, what kind of example do you think that you are setting for the rest of the camp" said Azazel
"To think that they even have to come and report you to me is just unacceptable" said Azazel as he sneered.
"But My Lord you do not let me explain myself" said Selene as she cut in.
"Because I do not need your stupid explanation" said Azazel
"Oh but my Lord you do, you know me, I would never do such a thing, it's... it's thins thing over here that provoked me" said Selene as she angrily pointed at Nia who's head was still bowed, and she was extremely quiet.
"Selene I do not know you" replied Azazel
"I never thought you could start such a thing, but here we are" said Azazel as he showed his displeasure.
"My Lord how can you say that" said Selene as she looked hurt.
"THIS thing over here, disrespected me" said Selene
"She refused to acknowledge me as her new master, and she out rightly insulted me in every way possible" said Selene angrily.
"I asked her to do one thing, and she refuses and does something completely different from my orders" said Selene as she complained.
"She is the insolent one and not me, she deserves to be put in her place" said Selene as she continued complaining.
"It seems that she has been too pampered by Clove, and she now sees herself above everyone else" said Selene she was heaving with fury, if not that Azazel was here, she would pull out every single one of the strands of hair on Nia's head.
She would make sure to kill her from the inside, because of this evil brat, she was now in trouble with Azazel for no reason at all, once she got out of here she would be sure to teach her a valuable lesson, not to mess with her ever again.
"Enough Selene!" said Azazel as he was getting sick of hearing Selene's voice, what sort of misconduct was this coming from her??
"I do not care for anything you have to say" said Azazel as he cold look in his eyes shut Selene up.
"Nia raise up your head" said Azazel, and Nia did so, it was just as he suspected, the right side of Nia's face was swollen, it was clear that Selene had done this, she was the only one hot tempered enough to do such.
"So because she supposedly disrespected you, it suddenly gives you the right to slap her?" asked Azazel.
"Well My Lord yes" said Selene as she felt no remorse at all, she did not blame herself in anyway for what happened.
"You should have heard the nonsense that this brat was spewing out of that little mouth of hers" said Selene.
"Selene just who do you think you are?" asked Azazel as his cold voice resounded in Selene's ears, he was asking her who she was??
"My Lord I am your humble servant" said Selene as she smiled sweetly.
"Are you now?" asked Azazel as he rested back in his chair.
"Yes of course I am what else would I be?" asked Selene as her smile wavered.
"Because from the way you act, it seems that you think of yourself as higher than everyone else including me" he said as he sent her a sharp, calm glare.
"No of course not I have no right to do such" said Selene as she immediately rejected what Azazel just said.
"Exactly you do not" said Azazel as he smiled subtly, he had made Selene admit what he wanted her to.
"You do not have the right to lay your hand on anyone in this camp" said Azazel as he was dead serious, and Selene's smile dropped.
"You are nothing and no one, I can easily dispose of you, like I would anyone else, at anytime any place" said Azazel as his aura was truly chilling.
"Are we clear Selene?" asked Azazel
"Yes My Lord" said Selene as she knew that Azazel was not joking.
"And the same goes for Nia over here" said Azazel.
"If you ever lay a hand on her again" said Azazel as his tone was seriously cold.
"I will personally make sure that your punishment will be unbearable" said Azazel as Selene knew that she was given a warning, and if she slipped up, it would be the end.
"Yes My Lord" said Selene, but inside she was fuming, she was being warned by Azazel for no reason but this seemingly now quiet girl.
"Good that we agree" said Azazel
"Now get out!" said Azazel as he was not polite at all, Selene did not waste a second, she took off immediately, but not before she shot Nia a dangerous glare.
Nia sighed, on the outside she seemed scared and quiet, but on the inside she was more than glad that Selene was finally being put in her place, she had truly gotten full of herself over time.
"And you" said Azazel as he turned to look at Nia, and she immediately stood on guard.
"You also have no right to insult anyone" said Azazel
"Selene is your new Master, and you will do as she says" said Azazel
"I did not expect this kind of behavior from you, from Selene I can believe, but from you" said Azazel
"Do you think that such kind of behavior of disobedience would make Clove happy??" asked Azazel as he knew just what to say to make Nia feel guilty, it did not seem like he was punishing her, he was more like scolding her.
Azazel was right, Clove would not want her to act this way, Nia was so focused on standing up for herself that she left all her reason behind, and she ended up fighting like an animal with Selene.
"I am sorry" said Nia as her voice was nothing but a whisper.
"To who?" asked Azazel
"To me or Clove?" asked Azazel
"To both of you" she said as she bowed her head down, she did not want to cry, not here and not now.
"I hold you in very high regard" said Azazel
"And I put you to serve Selene, because I know that you can handle more than you look" said Azazel
"So stop acting spoilt, and use your brain" said Azazel
"I do not want this repeating itself again" said Azazel
"Am I clear?" he asked
"Yes" replied Nia
"Yes what?" asked Azazel
"Yes master" said Nia softly.
"Now go" said Azazel
"And make sure to take care of your face" he said
"Yes Master" replied Nia as she walked out of his office.
She stopped and put on the hood of her black cloak, she did not want stares, and people's idle gossip.
Nia was walking, lost in her thoughts of how her new life being Selene's personal maid was going to be horrible, she was also thinking of Azazel's temperament towards her.
She was thinking deeply that she did not realize that someone was in front of her and she almost bumped into the person, until a hand blocked her path to collide with someone again.
"Hey it's you" said Hunter as he noticed it was the same weird girl from earlier, he could recognize her immediately from her smell.
"You really don't pay attention do you" said Hunter as he smiled, as Nia came back to her senses.
"Ooooh I am so sorry... again" she said as she scolded herself mentally, what was wrong with her today??
"It's alright" said Hunter as he chuckled.
"So how is your head?" asked Hunter
"Oooh Umm, it's better now" said Nia, she was way shorter than Hunter and she looked to meet his eyes.
"That's good to hear" said Hunter
"What happened to you?" asked Hunter as he noticed something, and he removed her hood, which revealed her half swollen face, that was now turning red as she had very pale skin.
"Ahh this" said Nia as she slowly touched her face and it hurt, she had not had time to cast a healing spell on it yet.
"Umm it was an accident" said Nia as she noticed that Hunter was looking at her with a frown on his face.
"What kind of accident?" asked Hunter, as he was worried, this looked very serious, she did not look like this earlier, and it ruined her nice face.
"It was just an accident" said Nia as she did not feel the need to explain.
"Hey Hunter!" called out a rogue that was heading towards them.
"Umm sorry for almost bumping into you again" said Nia as she pulled her hood down and she walked away without wasting a second, leaving Hunter who was surprised on why she quickly left.
"Hey Hunter, I have been looking for you everywhere" said the rogue.
"What is it?" asked Hunter
"Oh I see that you were hanging out with her" said the rogue as he pointed to Nia's fading image.
"Why do you ask?" asked Hunter
"Do you know who she is?" asked Hunter as he was curious
"Well Hunter do I have a story for you" said the rogue as he grinned.
