Hunter got up, he couched and spat out blood, the blow Bruce landed on him was very strong one, but not Bruce's strongest, Hunter just laughed and looked around, he touched his cheek, it only stung a little.
Bruce was a fool if he thought that any of what he had said would change him at all, he was not going to put a stop to anything, he was going to continue until he had his revenge on that wretched woman.
He knew that Bruce was just probably bluffing, there was no way that he would send him back home, as much as he wanted to do it, he could not, because he needed him here, they all needed to stay together.
Maybe fine, it was true that he had gone a bit overboard with his anger towards Bruce, and yes he might have done the unspeakable by saying that Bruce wanted Liam to die because of his position, so in a way he did deserve to be punched for what he had said.
So he agreed that he needed to let go of the anger he had towards Bruce, they were all to blame for what happened to Liam, they should have warned him and tried their best to stop him from getting involved with that wretched woman.
Bruce was right, they were brothers, every single one of them, and they had to stick together, in this dangerously inhabited witches realm, because that was the only they would survive with these barbarians.
But as for his plan, he was not going to put a stop to is at all, her had not even started, and Bruce wanted it to end, no way, he just needed time, and carefulness, he was going to make sure that Bruce never found out anything about what he was planning.
He would make sure to lay low, there was no way, he was going to let that woman go away scot free, with no scars at all, she was going to make her realize that she messed with the wrong rogue vampires, and that she killed the wrong rogue.
She thought that she was protected because of Azazel, well she would not even know what hit her, when Hunter was done doing what he was going to do to her, he was going to make sure that she was going to die slowly and painfully.
Hunter looked up at the sky, he had made a promise with himself that he was going to make sure that he got revenge, and that Selene paid in the worst way possible for all her crimes.
The next Morning.
Nia had another call from Selene, it made her sigh, and she was sure that she was going to get a headache soon, from whatever nonsense that woman was planning, it was suspicious that just yesterday she had called her to clean the room that Nia was a hundred percent sure that she purposely littered.
Nia knew that yesterday she had cleaned Selene's room to be shiny and spotless, she even had to arrange all the clothes she saw scattered everywhere, so then what exactly was that woman calling her for again??
Well the only way for her to know for sure, was to go there and see what she wanted for herself, to tell the truth, being Selene's servant was stressful and annoying, and Nia knew that her own case was very different because it was clear that Selene hated Clove, and she was loyal to no one else than Clove and Selene knew that, and she just purposely wanted to punish her.
As soon as Nia arrived at Selene's room, she sighed and braced herself, for the insults and troubles she would get from Selene, but to her surprise as she entered Selene's room, no one was there.
Nia sighed a sigh of relief, she was not going to have to deal with her nonsense for another day.
Nia was so relieved that she was not quick to notice a way bigger problem thana having to deal with Selene, as soon as Nia looked down, she was shocked, she had not even noticed that she had stepped in something of this manner.
It was like the room was divided into three parts, each with it's on major issue going on the floor, the first part where Nia was standing in, was all covered in mud, yes mud again, as if the mud she had to clean out last time had not been enough.
Nia was shocked on how she was so unalert that she walked right into the mud, her shoes were all covered with them, and apart from having to clean this mess, she had to now clean her shoes when she was done with this.
The second part of Selene's room was all covered in water, as if the place had been flooded, Nia knew that this was done on purpose, because there was only water all over the ground, and Selene's desk and books were all covered and protected in a protective layer.
And then the final part of the room was all covered in sand, as if a sand storm had happened in here.
Just how much did Selene want to make her suffer, she was obviously doing all this to her room, and Nia had no other choice than to do her job which was to clean, this was just horrible, Selene wanted to really make her life a living nightmare, she would have never imagined someone ever going to this length just to punish her, it seemed unbelievable and childish even.
Nia looked around, she was trying to figure out which side to start cleaning, she decided that the mud would take her a while to clean up, and the sand was just horrible, so she decided to start with the water flooded area.
She guessed that the water side would be easier to clean up since all she had to do was cast an absorption spell on a sponge, and then all the water would be soaked up, and also she could clean her shoes in the water first, so she did not have to do it later.
Nia lifted up her knee length dress, she was thankful that she did not wear her cloak today, or else that would be another story entirely, she did not want mud getting on her favourite dress that Clove gave her.
She walked over to the water flooded area and she stepped in it on purpose, and the mud on her shoes was washed away immediately, she used her hand to life up the sponge that she had used to clean yesterday, and she brought it to herself, she whispered something on the sponge and she placed it in the middle of the water, and in an instant all of the water was soaked up.
And the whole place looked dry like it was not just flooded a few seconds ago, Nia smiled that was one thing taken care of, she still had two of the worst areas to fix.
She proceeded to the sandy area, but first she had to get rid of her wet shoes, she bent down and circled her finger over her shoes, and her shoes immediately became dry.
Nia was trying to find a way to get rid of all the sand as quickly and efficiently as possible, the only way that seemed more reasonable to her was to pour the sand back into the plains, and that would take a lot of energy but it was not like she had a choice anyway.
She closed her eyes and whispered, and immediately a portal opened up, she got a bucket and began to scoop all the sand out and throw it into the portal, she could have just used her magic to lift out the sand at once, but she could not do that as she still had to maintain the portal.
After buckets and buckets of scooping sand, she was finally done with this side, she closed the portal, now she only had to deal with the mud, which made her sigh.
Luckily for her, the mud looked like normal mud, so she could just clean it with a sponge again.
After about forty minutes of cleaning, Nia was finally done… again, she looked around, and deep down she hoped that Selene would not do anything worse next time as she sighed and took her leave.
Later that day
Selene walked into her room, she saw everything was clean, neat and tidy, she looked upset, that Nia girl was efficient she quickly cleaned up the room, of course she had purposely dirtied her personal space just to get back on that girl.
Since Azazel had directly promised to punish her if she dare lay a hand on that girl who was just as bad as her stupid former master.
Just who did she think that she was, for Azazel to give her his protection?? She was not different from any other witch in the camp, and Selene was going to make sure that she was reminded of that fact every, single day.
She was going to make sure that she made Nia's life a living nightmare, just because she could not lay a finger on her did not mean that there were not other ways to punish her, oh they were so many more ways, and Selene doing this was just one of them.
Selene was going to show her the consequence of having loyalty to the wrong person, she was going to make that Nia knew what true torture was, and no one, including Azazel could save her from her wrath.
