Chapter 43 - Back to business

Inshal had her back resting next to the fire, it helped her with the pain that began to form in her back. "Did I do it too hard?" Marlo joked and sat by her side.

"I could of taken more" Inshal continued the joke and smirked.

"Sure" Marlo pushed her to a cuddle, "want to test that?" Marlo asked with his nose close to her ear.

"No, I've had my fun" Inshal shrugged him of and walked to the door, "I've started my own project, with elfs so they can get a tast of their own medication" she explained.

"Oh, what about?" Marlo seemed interested and impressed of her pet project.

"The war, f-ck it I'm a little curious on what that's about" Inshal explained further and Marlo had an impressed grin.

"Alright have fun with that" Marlo leand back onto the blankets and Inshal left, the cold wind blew up and she felt the cold eating at her skin. She went to Xzaviars tent to see how Cole was doing when a soldier flew next to her with an elf chained.

"Perfect, thank you..." Inshal squinted her eyes and the soldier told her his name.

"Pathrin" he nodded and Inshal took hold of the chains.

"You're gonna meet a vampire my friend" Inshal informed and the elfs eyes widened.

"You're feeding Cole?" Pathrin asked with a very soft voice and Inshal narrowed her eyes at him.

"Yes and in the middle of it get a little information" Inshal explained and tugged on the chains to get him moving.

"You probably hate what they did to us" Pathrin frowned, "I was one of them you know, I was the first".

"That won't happen again" Inshal insured, "I will make sure of that, as long as I'm queen they won't tuch any of you", a smile formed on his face and he seemed to have hope in his eyes.

"Thank you" Pathrin then went to the commens tent, Inshal dragged the elf to Xzaviars tent and chucked him in.

"Cole!" Inshal called, "try and keep him alive" she ordered and Inshal saw two glowing, blue eyes burning into the elf.

"No promises" Cole spoke as if he couldn't control his own speech and pinned the elf to the floor, bitting deep into his neck, the screams of the elf caused multiple demons to dash into the tent.

"What in the world is going on!" Marlo snarled as he pushed everyone to the side, "oh" he calmed down when he saw what's going on.

"Can I have a meal in peace" Cole hissed and dropped the limp elf, who was bearley breathing.

"Everyone back to work!" Marlo ordered and emptied the tent.

"I thought I ask for you to keep him alive" Inshal frowned, "now I need to find another one if he doesn't make it".

"He will" Cole sat back on the covers and sighed, "I bet my nest will be looking for me now".

"Right I kinda forgot about that" Inshal admitted, stittling the elf next to the fire pit.

"They will get killed if they charged in here, won't they?" Cole asked with a voice of worry.

"If they attack then yes" Inshal nodded, "but I'll make sure they won't be harmed".

"What kind if position do you hold exactly?" Cole asked narrowing his eyes, "they seem to respect you".

"They respect me because I'm their queen" Inshal answered, feeling far too much pride.

"Well good for you" Cole lead back and relaxed his hole body, the slight couler returning to his skin.

"You know I'm beginning to not enjoy the cold as much" Inshal complained a little and Cole chuckled a little.

"Really?" he tilted his head with a giggle, "from the journey here, it looks like you could survive the antarctic".

"Well I caught a cold" Inshal informed and he just shook his head giggling. "What's so funny about that?" Inshal pinned her ears and Coles giggle turned into a full laugh.

"I don't know, it just amuses me" Cole laughed even harder and Inshal saw how all of his teeth were as sharp as his thangs.

Inshal jumped her eyes to the elf who sat back up and rubbed his neck, his new pearly thangs sticking out. "Like the new fix?" Cole joked to the elf who gave a confused, sleepy look.

"What have you done to me!?" he screamed out in terror when he flet the new thangs.

"Gave you a brilliant gift" Cole answered, relaxed and satisfied with the meal Inshal requested for him.

"You have any idea what they'll do to me when my general finds out!?" he cried and Inshal frowned with her ears pinned.

"They won't see you again" Inshal hissed with voice she has never made in her life, she felt powerful and feared. Inshal loved it.

"What do you want?" he sounded more terrified, the couler on his skin fading further to a pure white.

"Information" Inshal replied, "who started the war, no political debates, all opinions" Inshal ordered and he hesitated.

"I can't just spill important information like that!" he snapped but then jumped back when Inshal snarled at him.

"You're not an elf anymore!" Inshal felt a new kind of rage feel her, she couldn't tell if she liked it or despised it but it was what she needed. "Now you tell me what I want to know and I'll treat you nicely or I'll have to torture you to get that information!" Inshal threatened and he winned quietly, shrinking as she towered over him.

"Well if you want it from the very beginning, we gave the humans some land to farm some cattle as their land began to fail them" he began, sitting comfortably. "We simply asked that they can repay us when they were able to go back to their own land but refused to pay more then a few thousand, our emperor took it as they take and don't pay back fairly and it led to the war over land" he finished.

"Good we are getting somewhere" Inshal smiled and relaxed herself, "now why kidnap demons?" Inshal asked, 'they must be planning big'.

"I can't tell you that" he took a quick breath, "my emperor would have my head!".

"I'll have your head, as you attacked MY kingdom!" Inshal grinned and she felt a dark power rush within her.

"I... we... we took the demons to see if they could be hypnotised" he moved his gave, ashamed of himself. "We soon found out we couldn't and tried to brake their will to make them obay us" he had a look of fear.

"Well all you caused is the first demon to feel suicidal and gave them some sort of anxiety" Inshal hissed, demons are nowhere bear natural but they shouldn't be played with like puppets.

"It didn't work so now we are trying to use the only little bits of information we managed to squeeze out of them to try and win quickly" he finished the last little bits, flinching as if he expected to hit him.

"Cole since you turned him, you can have the say of what happens to him" Inshal turned to him and he smiled with a nod.

"Haha, are you willing to be apart of my nest?" Cole asked and he gave a sharp look.

"Never! I know that the Clawmores are making a shot to cure vampirism" he spat.

"The Clawmores?" Cole stood up and lifted the elf up, "how are they testing it?" Cole threatened to slash his throat.

"Some furry vampire offered" he spoke quickly.

"Was his fur dark?" Cole had a pleased smile and he giggled a little.

"I don't know what her fur couler was" the elf spoke and a frown formed and fury took his eyes.

"Willow!" Cole panicked and slammed the fabric door open only to flinch with a hiss due to the sun.

"Cole!" Inshal called to him, "we can rescue her tonight, for now let me handle this guy" Inshal ordered and she put her wing in the way of the sun until they reached weapons tent.

Inshal tied him to a chair with chains and pinned the chair to the floor, making sure he can't escape. "So I'm forever imprisoned by you?" he hissed, shocked himself that he could do so.

"Yes, unless Cole has something else planned once I'm done with you" Inshal finished titening the chains. She left, feeling a little tired. "Back so soon?" Marlo yawned as the cold wind woke him up.

"Yeah can't do much until night" Inshal mimiced his yawn and snuggled up to him, craving warmth, "so let's sleep".

"Alright" Marlo moved so they can sleep comfortably, "I'll wake you at dusk", they both passed out instantly.
