Lucian grabs a hold of my hand as I am about to step in. I turn to him raising my eyebrow.
"Are you sure about this?" I nod my head
"we are over this. everything is going to go well"
Immediately we step in, Lucian shivers probably not used to the magic the house is emitting.
Two warlocks are currently shooting daggers at us.
Lucian is failing terribly at putting up a strong stance.
"We want to see your captives" I tell them and they exchange a look before looking at me and laughing.
"Since when did you get to bark orders at us?" the taller of the two asks.
"You might be his mistress but that doesn't mean you get to tell us what to do" the other says giving me a challenging look
"I am nobody's mistress and I just want to know where his mother is!" I say in a loud voice.
"If that's what you desire then you will be granted of course" I turn to the smooth voice of Gordon.
"Follow me" he leads the way Lucian and I right after him but of course I turn to the warlocks and give them a victorious smirk. They just scoff and walk away.
"Mother!" Lucian calls and runs to Lena who is sitting with other hostages in a small. cabin.
"Lucian! oh my boy" Lena cries hugging him so tight. "oh baby..how have you been?" Lucian nods crying.
"How did you find me?" Lena asks Lucian.
"It's all Olette" Lucian replies and Lena smiles
"I thought we were never going to see you. Thank you very much"
"That should be all and you should both leave now before I kill the both of you" Gordon approaches.
"If you really think you are going to get away with this, you must be foolish. You can't just kill everyone and think you can get away with it" Lucian says angrily standing in front of Gordon who is of course taller and more intimidating than he is.
"You don't actually believe that right? Leave now!" Gordon orders in a low threatening voice . Lucian has no choice but to back down. He holds his mother hand
"We should go" He tells her and retreat then he notices I am not at his back. He turns "Olette?" He calls in a questioning way. "Let's leave" I look at Gordon who is now retreating into the house.
"You can go ahead without me" I tell Lucian.
"I am not leaving here without you. You have no business here. Let us go now"
"No Lucian. I am not leaving here"
"Why?"
"I don't owe you an explanation"
"Of course you do. You can't decide you want to stay with a wicked and vile murderer" Lucian speaks with venom dripping from his tone.
"I know that but...." I try to explain whatever reason I can come up with but Lucian beats me to the chase"oh please save whatever it is you want to say for later when the both of you plan your next attack" how dare he
"What on Earth do you mean by that?" I ask in a low tone.
"You don't fool me Olette. How coincidental is it that you show up at the same time people started dying, some missing. Care to explain that?"
"What are you accusing her of Lucian?"Lena finally speaks
"Mother she is evil and knows about everything that has been going on"
"What exactly?"
"the gruesome murders around the town" He says without feeling bad for his words.
"You know that's not true" Lena defends me.
"If it isn't, then explain why she is friends with him all of a sudden and how was she able to convince him to let you go?" Lucian is really angry but there is no way I am going with him.
"If I should remember clearly, you were the one who asked me to come here and fight for your people and I did just that even endangering my life in the process and now I am suddenly the bad person! How nice of you" I sniffle blinking away the tears threatening to fall.
"I am sorry" Lucian says feeling a bit bitter.
"No. I am sorry" I walk away from them "Bye Lena".
"Olette! I didn't mean to say whatever I said"He calls after me. It's too late to fix what he said.
