Damon walked to Manandra, raised her chin up and said,
"What's with the attitude, what's making you so quiet? what's bugging you?" He asked getting closer and closer to her face.
Manandra who was sitting down on the ground just looked at him with amusement. She didn't get why he was acting so kind. Was he really worried? Still confused, she didn't answer.
"Don't worry. You can speak, I don't bite" Damon emphasized on the last word "bite" , making sure to showcase his fangs for her to see. Instilling a little fear, indirectly telling her that she must talk.
At that instant, Manandra's hopes were crushed.
"What a shapeshifter" She thought. Just a second he was sounding so sweet and caring and the next minute he was sounding and looking evil.
Andrew seeing them in such position, made his blood boil. It confirmed his suspicions right. Damon wouldn't even be talking to a human talk less of being close. It was obvious, Damon had taken interest in her. Before Manandra could speak, he immediately said,
"Ohhh your people! you want me to release them from my possession. I mean they are still in my possession, he said looking up. "But...." He swiftly added as he turned back to her. His expression changed dead serious as he looked straight into her eyes. Slowly looking down to her chin almost as if he was examining her face. He said,
"Give me one reason why I should release them." As he looked straight into her eyes."
"Why shouldn't you?" She replied back with a question.
Damon was beyond shocked. In all his millions of years, no one has ever answered him with a question and here is the lowest rank of beings doing exactly that.
"You don't know who I am do you?" He said as he looked dead serious into her eyes.
"You're Damon" She answered, nonchalantly.
He looked at the girl amusingly. He laughed a short laugh, showing all his teeth. He wasn't sure of this girl anymore.
"You know I could end your life in a second, but let me punish you a little". He said as he started coming closer and closer, to her face. Everyone present was sure that he was going to kiss her, but he passed by an inch and went straight to her ear and whispered an unknown word.
Manandra was confused. She could have sworn he wanted to kiss her, everyone could have. Why did he even make an attempt, what did he say to her. Before she could wrap her head around what had just happened, in a split second she began to hallucinate pure horror. The most horrible, terrible things, that could ever be in this world, and Manandra couldn't even stand the sight of blood, or watch a horror movie even with people. Damon possessed the power of chaos, it could make a man's mind run loose. Manandra screamed;
"What are you doing to me????????"
"A little punishment, it's called the twisted sanity"
It was a horrible punishment. A spell used to kill people slowly. It takes your fears, disgust, phobias anything even if it's a candy crush world and uses it to torment you and cause you tremendous painful hallucinations slowly, until you take your own life.
"Please make it stop....."
"Ohhhh... not so feisty are you?"
"Damon make it stop"
"What is it you wanted again?" He said as he stood up straight.
"Just make it stop...."
"No not that the other one."
Which one was he talking about again? Manandra thought.
"I can't stand this hallucinations" Manandra said.
"No, no," He replied.
Then which one? Manandra thought. then she decided to try;
"Release my people from your possession?"
"And why?"
Ohhh my God he was so frustrating. What did he want again. But she had no choice, but to answer his foolish questions.
"Do it for the sake of your purpose" Manandra said in pain.
"I have a purpose"
"Please do it for the sake of humanity"
"Their existence is not needed"
Manandra could not take the pain anymore. This was inhumane, he wasn't going to release her, if she doesn't find the correct answer. What exactly does he want. She lowered her head, in unexplainable pain, she didn't know if her sanity was intact anymore. Tears rolled down as she said;
"Do it for the sake of me"
Every thing ceased, and the pain ceased too. He then bent back down, and whispered in her ear again the word;
"Correct".
Manandra was furious. That was the answer he was looking for. He obviously knew that she won't say it. Because he wouldn't do anything for her sake. But if you think about it, it's actually for her sake. She asked for him to release them that's why he's doing it. She looked at him with anger, you could tell she wanted to kill him. May be he decided that answer should be the correct just to torment her a little.
"Don't get mad at me" He said. "You should have said the right answer quickly."
Now Manandra was going to kill him. What an annoying brat.
"Anyways....."
He said, as he majestically walked to his throne and sat, and just stared at a particular place.....
"Rise and come to thee"
Every human ever possessed began to rise and rise, and Manandra could even see some that where possessed in the castle, that was once a church.
They all came in one by one and Manadra could see how empty and soul-less they were. No life in them. She felt like crying. If she hadn't let her insecurities get in the way of humanity, maybe things wouldn't be this way.
So Manandra, all this will happen on one condition; you don't get in the way.
"But I don't understand Damon." He put his palm on her face and said, "You will. Don't forget your place and that will be Master to you." He gave her a wide smile. Mandy gave him the angry look while he left and sat on his throne.
"Come sit right here" He said pointing towards an empty space on the floor.
Andrew and Manandra were both disgusted. Andrew wondered why Damon was doing all this and Manandra was disgusted at Damon for telling her to sit on the floor.
"How dare he" they both thought. When Manandra sat down, Damon proceeded to pat her head like a puppy. Mandy was bubbling with rage but she managed to stay calm.
