Chapter 32 Uncertainty

"I don't know if I can be the head of Shepherd anymore, Avalon," Salvatore said with a sigh,

"Sal, Whatever you want to do go with it, I will have your back, but just because you didn't do anything to help the boys don't mean you should resign," Avalon explained

"Once again you are right Avalon, I'm just stressed out with all that has happened I want a vacation," Salvatore explained before continuing,

"I am going to ask you something, can you watch over Shepherd when I go on vacation?" Salvatore said looking sincerely,

"Can I keep shepherd together? I don't know, but I will try my best," Avalon thought

before turning her attention back to Salvatore,

"I will try to keep everything in line, but are you sure you want me in charge of a bit? I'm a spy, not a boss," Avalon said worryingly,

Picking at her nails, Salvatore chuckled at her nervousness,

"You would do fine Avalon, who else would I ask?" Salvatore said,

"Why not Jane?"Avalon said

Salvatore blushed and attempted to hide it, Avalon looks at him confused, before a cheeky grin comes on her face,

"You planned on going on a vacation with Jane," Avalon said excitedly,

Salvatore shakes his head at her giddiness,

"Yes, both she and I are planning to take a vacation together before all of the chaos that happened, but she believes that I need a break, so it's still scheduled," Salvatore said with

a smile,

"Well good for you too, if that's all you need from me, then I might as well make like a tree and leave," Avalon said snickering at her pun,

Salvatore chuckled,

"Alright, then I will give you more detail about what needs to be done when I am gone," Salvatore said

Avalon got up to leave before Salvatore pulls her into a hug,

"Thank you... for being the daughter I never had," Salvatore said

Avalon hugged him back before letting go,

"Thank you, for being the father I never had," Avalon said with a bright smile before walking to the door and exiting the office,

"You couldn't keep my cherished robot with all of my important data in it safe!" Morrigan said yelled at one of the security guards that were left alive for this purpose,

"You... see it wasn't me your little servant killed most of my team and not to mention the spy that took it," the guard said fearfully

Mórrígan turns her attention to Blake,

"I don't know what he is talking about. I was in my office the whole time," Blake said

Taking the remote off of Mórrígan's desk and turning on the security footage from the event, Mórrígan watched the footage with suspicion, Blake smirks at the guard behind Mórrígan's back,

"Blake seems to be right," Mórrígan said walking around the guard with a gun in hand,

"Should I just end you now or torture you for a long while? Making you pity your existence," Mórrígan said with a maniacal smirk,

Black smoke consumes them both with the terrified screams of the guard and the laughter of Mórrígan, Blake left Mórrígan's office, whistling while he does so and he entered his office to see it pitch black with a bit of iridescent light in his chair,

"How was your scheme, did it go well? Killing off the guards," Ally said turning the chair to face him,

Blake rolled his eyes at her,

"That is none of your business, all you are here to do is to be a good pet for Mórrígan," Blake said as he walked closer to her,

"Remember this it was your idea Ally to betray your friend, and turn your back on the organization that kept you sane, you will always be an egotistical runt," Blake said continuing to berate her with curses and hateful words she stood up from the chair,

"I get that I am a horrible person that puts herself before everyone she cares about, but I repent of it all. I gave all my grief and pain, the burden for what I have done to him, all that pressure is gone, I have to make up for what I have done to Avalon and others, but I don't have to stand here and listen to you nag at me for what was done! that you are a part of you still went with the idea and look what it has done to you. Turned you into a love-obsessed freak," Ally yelled back at him,

He stared at her in disbelief,

"Master, would you like me to eliminate the girl," his aura asked him

"No, not yet even though it would make my life five times easier, we will be out in the open, give it time we will have the victory in the end. But I do have an idea if you would like to test it out?" Blake asked

"Whatever you want Master," his aura said with a sickening laugh,

Blake was now in front of Ally with his hand around her neck,

"Do you think I care what you believe in? no, I don't, all that matters right now is that I have a little pawn at my disposal, and I do and when I am done with you, Morrigan can have the scraps," Blake said

He strongly squeezed her neck, Ally butted the dagger in his stomach, he backed away in pain, he looked at her with resentment his aura formed behind him,

Ally regained her breath and smiled at him, Blake gave his aura a nod, and his aura gave him a sickening grin, his aura launched right at her. but she held the dagger to the aura disappeared from vision,

"That's why my aura was defeated? That you got from my love didn't you?" Blake asked

Ally cringes from what she just heard,

"Yes, I got it from Avalon. Now I just feel sorry for her," Ally said

Blake shakes his head, he ran at her and kneed her in the head knocking her back into the wall, Ally cried out in pain, Blake throws her over his desk broke almost all of his things, and puts glass into her flesh,

Blake walked boastfully over to where she was, grabbed her by the hair, and smashed her head into the ground over and over again until she is bleeding,

Blake smiled gleefully as he dropped her head before getting up,

"Great look what a mess you made, it's fine though soon I will have everything I ever wanted and more, and by the way that little recorder you placed in here, well it's broken," Blake said smashing the recorder under his foot then walks back to her,

He was now in front of her, pulled her back up to face him,

"Look at you now bloody, bruised. weakly grasping upon me you might just make Avalon jealous," Blake said pompously,

Ally spits at him which landed on his face then her instinctively kicked her away from him,

Ally landed next to the dagger, Blake wiped the spit off his face and angrily walked to her and kicked her in the stomach and keep kicking her,

"Ally if anything ever happened to me. Always remember that I will always be there both in mind and spirit, What is important is your soul let nothing happen to it, without it you are soulless, be careful ok," Avalon said in a memory,

Ally is having she smiled fondly at the memory,

"What are you smiling about? you're getting beaten without me even making an effort," Blake sneered at her,

He kicked her once more for good measure, Ally laughed at him, Ally grabbed the dagger and stabbed him in the knee, Blake yelled in pain and walked backward lay in front of his desk,

she puts the dagger in her side pocket, Ally got upholding her side punched him in the face breaking his nose in the process,

"You think you will get everything you want," Ally said throwing him into the wall, Blake landed on the floor in pain,

"You don't have a soul. if you go down this road, you will eventually lose all that you gained," Ally said

Blake ran straight at her, but she kneed him in the chest, he fell back into the chair,

"How do you know this? you don't know the future," Blake said out of breath,

Blake got his aura to attack her, she went for the dagger on her side to find it not there,

"Looking for something," Blake said holding the dagger in his hand, smirked at her as his aura consumed her,

"Where do you want me to put her Master," the aura asked him, the aura helped Blake up,

"Keep her in the darkroom, until I know it is safe to let her out," Blake said grabbed the first aid kit,
