"What do you mean you lost Christian?" Chara argued.
"My dear we were going to the wooded spot when suddenly he was lost!" Lord Latrell stated.
Chara doubles over weeping with her face in her apron, Katherine gives Latrell a frown, laying her hand on her back in a comforting manner.
"We will find him Chara, I have some clothes you can wear," Katherine explained.
Lord Latrell clamors from the bed sprinting to the door in a hurry blocking them from exiting the room. Katherine gently slips her leather gloves off.
Setting Chara to the side, she furrows her brow in anger. Latrell only smiles baring his fangs.
"You did something I know now!" Katherine shouted, "You didn't hold your promise!"
"Lord Latrell, he is my master! How could you?" Chara asked.
He grabs tightly to her wrist, getting down on his knees he nuzzles his head against her stomach as she wails. Katherine watches the woeful scene at hand.
"You are no man!" Katherine yelled.
Stamping her feet she shoves Chara away drawing her short blade from her sheathe, Katherine takes a stance prepared.
Latrell slams his fist into Katherine, she gasps out shocked by the sudden barrier protecting them from behind. Chara wraps her fingers around her chest gingerly.
"Chara? You can use magick?" Katherine yelled.
"I will protect you as long as I can…" Chara whispered.
"Get on my back Chara!" Katherine yelled.
Chara locks her fingers around Katherine's neck climbing her legs around her waist, Lord Letrell observes the whole affair in amusement. Swinging her arms back Katherine propels forward crashing the door off its hinges taking Latrell with it.
Katherine shoves him back upon his feet, knocking Lord Latrell over the rails ascending below, both landing perfectly. Chara jumps off positioning herself further from Katherine's back.
Lifting her blade high in the air, Latrell trampled the wooden tiles with tremendous force. Everything shifts under the effects of his earthquake-like movements, making it hard to get footing. He launched them into the large window shattering the surroundings and scattering expensive cabinets and breaking precious glass urns, the maids outside screaming inch away from the scene.
"Is that all you got Katherine?" Latrell roared.
Chara collapsed in Katherine's arms, Latrell was closing in on them. Katherine's dense fabric was caught on a portion of the broken window sticking up.
"You really think the emperor's bullet would work on me?" The voice shouted.
"You gotta be kidding me!" Lord Latrell gasped.
"I will be taking your sweet hunnies when I am done!" Christian shouted.
Revealing himself from afar he cries out, glancing to the side finds Katherine holding Chara.
"Katherine, are you both okay?" Christian asked.
She only nods stunned, facing Lord Latrell he shrugs. The built man becomes panicked at the sight of Christian strolling through the debris.
"I need to pay back for that enthused display you gave me!" Christian stated, with a grin.
Reversing, Lord Latrell lets out a loud roar sending a sudden jolt followed by a shaking that lasts only seconds. Christian places his fingers to his mouth, licking the underside of his nail.
"Are you even trying to impress me a little?" Christian commented.
"Y-y-your eye! I stabbed it!" He cried.
Christian touched it slightly grinning ear to ear, briefly looking over to Katerine and back to Latrell.
"You are right, you did stab me…" Christian replied.
Wandering over to Katherine he retrieves the small knife from her clutches, he hands it to Latrell pointing to his eye.
He trembled being handed the weapon, Christian mounts himself on the turned-over cabinet folding his hands on his lap. The whole time he couldn't stop giggling.
"Make it count, Lord Latrell," Christian warned.
Leaping he flings himself at Christian plunging the knife with all might at the smarmy blonde in tattered clothing. Lord Latrell tumbled into the furniture, missing his target.
"Where the hell did you go?" He wailed.
Christian was waving on the other side of the room, lifting his hand over his head and he bows down low. You could see the sweat tumbling Latrell's mane.
"How are you so cocky now?" He pointed out.
"Whatever could you mean?" Christian asked, "Give me a real challenge you pervert!"
Lord Latrell became enraged seething with hatred, clapping his hands together he positioned his body pressing his hands and feet at the same time igniting a huge amount of tension into the floorboards of the house.
"I want you out of my sight!" Latrell screamed.
The aged boards came apart in the quaking and breaking pushing the inlay upwards, the spaces between catch Christian's shoes pinching him in place. Vaulting from one board to the next Lord Latrell strikes him hard in the face.
Christian tried to pull his foot out of the shoe to realize his foot was clutched too hard between the planks cementing him. He dodges the next blows in every attempt to free his footing.
"Get out of my sight!" Lord Latrell screeched, "Why won't you die!"
Over and over again in anger, Christian rolls side to side barely evading. Latrell seized Christian by his arm punching him in the gut using the same ability he used to shake the flooring.
"Christian!" Katherine shouted.
He goes limp in Latrell's arms, Christian trembling despite being paralyzed by the overpowering move. Latell takes his fist continuously beating him in the face till his face was bloody.
His nose busted, eyes swollen, cheeks inflamed, at least a tooth missing, Chara wakes in Katherine's arms. Colton takes his leave from an unconscious Christian.
The bodily shadow lands beside the very desperate lord, he pokes him lightly on the shoulder.
Looking behind, Colton pressed his fingers to lips to Chara with a wink to quiet, punting Latrell with his foot in the back of his head.
Twisting he sees nothing, rising to his feet he drops Christian in between the crevices sliding down. His foot entangled kept him from falling below.
"Christian!" Chara called out, "How could you!"
"I will burn this place to the ground!" He threatened.
"Are you fucking insane Latrell?" Katherine asked.
"Chara, this is why I didn't want you to go!" A familiar voice rang, "Lord Latrell…"
"Saniya! I didn't expect you back so soon!" Lord Latrell said nervously.
"You never picked the damn phone anytime I called!" Saniya commented.
Floating down on her broom, she chanted something under her breath. Christian dissolved from the split, he manifested in her arms.
"I am sorry I ruined your fun Colton, but this has to stop," Saniya stated.
Colton only bows disappearing out of her sight, Katherine overwhelmed by everything only gawks at Saniya in disbelief.
"You will be punished, Lord Latrell for harming my kindred, he is supposed to be getting ready before the next crimson sky!" She yelled.
"I am sorry Saniya…" Chara responded.
"You are Christians master?" Katherine asked.
"I am," Saniya answered.
"Let me join you please!" Katherine begged.
"Hmmm…can I ask why?" Saniya questioned.
"I haven't felt this way in a long time…Christian is such a good soul. Please allow me to tend to his every whim!" Katherine offered.
"Katherine! I forbid it!" Lord Latrell argued, "Not some slave-type vampire!"
"You have so many other maids here, go play with them." Katherine replied, "I quit!"
"B-but! Who will control the others?" Lord Latrell said.
Katherine shrugs helping Chara get up, she rips the fabric of her dress off the damaged glass. The other maids come from the outside and inside ogling Lord Latrell with hungry eyes instead of investing in doing their chores.
"Have fun!" Katherine said.
