Chapter 35 - the chains break

" you bastard it was you wasn't you did something didn't you" the emperor entered my cell furious I smirked at him " did something go missing " he looked at me full of anger he wanted to use Liam to make weapons for him because he was extremely good at it they saw how powerful my staff and pistol are the staff is still where I got forced to teleport stuck in the ground no one can pick it up

" I don't know why your still here of you could have gotten out but I'm going to make you regret that choice because of you I just lost my chance to take my empire back but at least I got you to play with " he said walking over to me I spat " do your worst you cucumber fucker "

He Ignored me use to my taunts by now grabbing a knife he came back " I'm going to enjoy this" he then started to skin my right it hurt more then I could possibly imagine but I didn't scream im not going to give him the satisfaction eventually do to the pain and blood loss I was passing out buy yellow electricity climbed the chains shocking me awake " don't pass out yet we are just getting started "

He took his time skinning my leg he left without looking back my leg hurt like it was in boiling lava he would come back in something to cut another layer of my leg off after a few days of this he finally cut my leg completely off he didn't stop there I barely had enough time to take a breath before he was skinning my other leg doing the same thing it

Back at the rebel base a gorgeous elf with gunmetal silver hair and beautiful blue eyes was near the entrance seemingly deep in thought

" Momma is papa going to be alright " she heard a little girls voice behind her she turned around picking up Emily to hug her with a smile " your father may not be a lot of this but he is a strong person even if he doesn't fully see it don't worry my little snow flake go play with Shane I'm sure when your father gets back he will want you all too himself " she said then rubbed her cheeks on Emily's

Emily giggled running off when she hot put down " I love you momma" she yelled as she left to go play Elise watch as she was leaving with a smile " I love you more " she yelled before her daughter got far ' I never thought I would have a kid so young but I'm happy it happened this way I feel complete having her around with us all together please be ok my love dont do anything stupid' she thought with a sigh knowing her husband had a couple loose screws

A few hours later Elise was still by the entrance when she heard hurried footsteps usually a guard would be here but since the rebellion has gone so well they stopped having one right at the entrance they are station near the town more but they still come regularly to make sure nothing has happened

" come on we are almost there " she heard a French accent and her heart raced running over to the tunnel what greets her was not what she thought her husband wasn't there instead it was Liam and his mother who Elise has meet before putting aside her conflicting emotions going over to help Liam who seems to have a severe injury to his left leg she took his mothers place helping him to see a healer

Eventually they got to the infirmary Liam was in a bed being seen by a bunny beastmen everyone called Doc " he will live but I'm afraid I will have to take the leg the poison spread to much there " he said before walking out to get the equipment

" he took a arrow in the back of the knee to protect his mom" François says Elise looked at him intensely " what about my husband " she asked trying to control her emotions François lowered his head " I'm sorry he asked me to get them out instead of him please forgive me " he bowed toward Elise

Elise was on the verge of exploding " I'm sorry princess it's my fault this happened he didn't give me a choice " Liam said with tears in his eyes remember when the emperor forced him to watch as he cut ghost's left arm off the room started get cold everything started to freeze all of them could see there breath just trying to breathe hurt

Elise saw what he just imagined she knew what she saw in his head was real watching her husband get dismembered sent her over the edge her eyes were blood shot if you looked closely you could see a slight pink tint to her irises also paying attention you'll see her canines grew slightly knowing she had to leave or she was going to hurt them she left the room without saying anything

After Elise left the room slowly went back to normal " I didn't think she was going to be this mad I guess she truly does love him she usually really good at controlling herself " François says to no one specifically Liam was on the bed crying knowing he hurt someone who trusted him completely his mom tried to comfort him

Outside the hill the base was under was partially covered in ice now After venting her anger Elise went back to the command room to talk to Wolfgar she wasn't going to sit back and do nothing it was time to ramp up the rebellion so they could get the capital as soon as possible

In a dungeon chained up a man missing both his legs severed along with his right arm had his eyes closed trying to ignore the pain of his left arm when he heard footsteps enter the cell it was a couple soldiers

I felt the chains loosen but then felt pain in my shoulder again they put a bracelet on my barley functional left arm too before forcing me out the cell they led me out to the courtyard of palace when the sun hit my eyes it blinded me I couldn't remember how long it has been seen I saw it I swear I had too been down there for years " good they finally brought you out " I head a familiar voice

When my vision came back what I saw shocked me the city was filled with soldiers and outside of it was another army but this one mostly made up of beastmen looking around me I saw the emperor not too far along with a bunch of beastmen " this can still be ended peaceful just surrender " I heard wolfgar's voice

The emperor language loudly so he could hear him " there is no chance of peace with you animals " as he finished there were loud bangs smoke raised into the air the beastmen around me dropped to the ground dead " or anyone who follows you" after he said that he swung a sword towards me

Looking at the rebel army I finally saw Elise looking at me with tears coming down her face looking at her I can't help but admire her beauty I smiled at her mouthing ' I love you ' to her then I felt pain on my last remaining arm as it was cut looking down I say a blade sticking through me the get pulled out everything started to get woozy

There was a loud scream as ice broke the front line after that everything turned to chaos I could barely tell what was happening around me as I bleed out I could barely make out icarus in the sky fighting another bird who was all black she would try to get to me but got cut off by the other summon which made her furious

Looking back at the battlefield i saw Elise and shadow cutting there way to me desperate to reach me I not sure what happened but when I open my eyes again Elise was close to me fighting a group of people shadow was being surrounded unable to disappear into the darkness

Eventually Elise was able to break free to come to me just as she did though the emperor came behind her noticing this Elise quickly turned around materializing her ice spear to stab him but a thin gold light covered his body stopping her attack " there's a reason I haven't been killed all these years " he said coldly as he stabbed Elise in the chest

" enjoy dying together sorry for not staying to enjoy the show but I don't intend to join you " he laughed making his way to the back of his army I ignored him my focus was on Elise as she still tried to crawl to me i had tears coming down my face as I did the same eventually neither of us could go very far I started at Elise unable to say anything do to weakness and the blood in my throat

Elise stared at me intensely open her mouth to say something but only blood came out I watched as her eyes slowly closed and her body stop moving everything went dark for me at that moment " how long are you going to keep me chained up the man who just killed the only woman to fall in love with you is getting away scott free just like the other terrible people of the world or is it two worlds now I'm not sure" i looked at the sound of the voice " o it's you "

The already creepy wide smile seemed to widened " I can get him...make him pay for what he did all you have to do is SET ME FREE" I walked over to the chained up demon starting to squeeze one of the chains you could see cracks appear on it

" RIP AND TEAR UNTIL IT IS DONE!" as the words left my mouth the chains broke and the demon laughed hysterically
