"Flynn please," I begged him as he exited;
"Please let me bring him back" I cried quietly my lower jaw mostly quivered and my eyes leaked. Kai kept crossing my view and I could only wander what unfortunate fate intertwined his path into my brother's and now tied down in a family war circle. He didn't deserve this
A while of hearing his shuffling around made me want to clear things up with him even though he wouldn't respond to me, at least I would hope he hears it.
"Kai, Jake's been worried about you−looking for you. He's still looking for you as we speak; he wants you back in his pack. I'm sorry Kai for everything"
"You were right about me−about us" I sniveled very hard
"If only that was true, I liberated him from the pain you inflicted" he came back in the room standing just where he stood before
"You think making him this way is freeing him? It's not"
He stared at me blankly; "He adored his precious affair, he adored what she was carrying more. He knew it was a girl" his tone was plain just like his face, it made it hard to understand what he really felt towards me
"Then he gifted you the 'pearl of life'; the Paradlag. I watched him do so"
"What?"
"The night of his downfall, he could only think of you two; he'd suddenly find conscience," Flynn snickered briefly through his pain, I could clearly see it in his eyes while he talked of our father
He added "To make it right, conduit his powers into his precious little one and the 'pearl of life' sealed itself"
"I don't understand," I said
"The necklace you wore──duplicitous father,"
I had it all along? I was shocked beyond words itself
"And now it's inside of you" he smiled slyly
"That's why you have me here" I stated the matter-of-factly
"I will have to devise a vessel similar or better able to contain the power of our ancestors since the Paradlag is destroyed" he explained
"I channel it to you, can't I?"
"I don't think you can" I coughed heavily as he said that
"The 'bracelet of Nya'h' is going to help me do just that. It will weaken your form until you are unable to hold such great power and you'll begin to spill, it's a foul process"
"Flynn, you don't need to keep me here. We will work together to find a way to get the ancestral power out of me" I was deeply afraid at the coldness I perceived from my own brother; his own kind of distaste for me was chilling to look at in his face; one could not see its depth.
"Oh no but I will enjoy to see his bastard suffer some more; just like I watched my mother suffer by his hands" His voice grew darker towards the end and he peered through me deeper. Tears weren't enough to show just how frightened I was and how hurtful it felt. It was all down to the affair of my parents, destroyed not just my life but both their families.
"I swear, I am nothing like the both of them; I will like to make it right" he became absent for a moment and then came right back in another, with a bloodied man in his grasp. Kai eased back from me and let Flynn closer; he dropped Cassuis on his knees, held his face up by his hair every inch of him was covered in heavy blood and Cassuis's eyes are barely opened. I gasped and pushed my head up, reached my free hand to touch his face; his eyes rolled to look at me and his frozen face twitched to a smile
"What did you do to him?" my words were nearly clouded with tears as I couldn't think straight after seeing him
"In love while claiming another, pathetic just like your mother" he spat disgusted and the heat in me rose; riffles flew out of me. Flynn smirked again and his eyes lit up with joy but his words rang in my head and I was immediately struck with the reality I might have gambled more than I had to find the Paradlag and bring Maya back. He wouldn't know I was in love when I claimed Cassuis unless,
"Jake? Where is Jake?"
"He's taken care of, worry not"
"You have no business with them; this is a family matter,"
In response he dug his hand through Cassuis's back, forcing Cassuis's eyes bulged out, chest out and his mouth flew opened; instantly I felt the pain spreading across my chest too and I coughed a mouthful of blood. Cassuis's breathing became raspy, he reached behind and fisted Flynn's arm desperate to get his hand out of him.
"Stop it please" I begged but he didn't stop, in turn he pushed harder and I could feel Cassuis starting to slip away
"Please," I burst in heavy tears and a little further in he would have killed Cassuis, he pulled his arm out and held Cassuis slumped forward towards me but not all the way because Flynn was holding him by the shoulder.
"Cassuis?" his hand weakly brushed over mine, telling me he was still alive. Now I also became spiteful
"You don't need to hold leverage against me; I will offer whatever you want"
"I'm not holding the Vampire master for leverage but for something a lot better" With his lighting speed he snatched Cassuis and bought him to his feet and roughly thrust his teeth into Cassuis's neck like a vampire. Our screams came in sink because I could feel what he was doing to him, something hot and ruthless searched through my soul turning it upside down; the pain was equivalent to having a red hot iron against a human flesh. My back pulled in and my chest out and I thrashed against the bed and restrained until he dropped Cassuis roughly, out cold to the ground. Flynn moaned and sighed through his mouth loudly kicking his head back, his spit to the ground and wiped his mouth with his sleeve saying
"Your claim is not complete"
"Perfect," he added smirking heavily, as meticulous plans form in his head. I watched Flynn drag Cassuis out of the room and Kai took his initial position of guarding me
