20. Rebels' Attack [II]

"Ouch!!!"

Naya screamed, it was too sudden and did not think His Lordship would make such brutal killing, the dead ridge was made by him? Her vision could not see clearly how brutal those bodies were slain.

She shrinks, terrified to admit it, her teeth grin rapidly underneath, the blood was rushing out, varying with her head spinning, her legs weakened, in a short moment, she completely forgets the reason she was at the Arena.

Her eyes bulge involuntarily trying to maintain her stands.

Like garbage, Lord Edam threw the body over to the dead ridge.

Naya was startled, this was as if she has never seen running blood before, she was once a monstrous bloodsucker but why, why is she suffocating, why quivering and trembling as if this is wholly new to her?

She could not regain her spinning head, yet, she can't pass out without knowing Nick's whereabout.

'Where is he?' She mumbled to recollect her mind.

Her gaze diverted to King Lippana, they all stood a distance away behind Lord Edam, with some guards also in werewolves, she could count them despite holding in her trembles; His Majesty, Crown Prince, and... Where is Nick? He should be there!

Her inner voice shuddered subsequently as if she will pass out at the moment.

While struggling to control, she stretched her neck to observe more thoroughly, everywhere is flooded with sticky blood.

Does it contain Nick's? Was that why he is killing them brutally?

"Nick!!!"

She was aware her resonance voice already caught their attention, they were all glaring at her like a ghost but she care lesser about what each of them might be thinking of her.

She just needs to know Nick's whereabout, she rushes toward the Crown Prince.

However, still in the crest of desolation, Lord Edam carelessly swayed up another tied man, his claws strode down from the man's neck, stop by his abdomen, as if picking out dirt, his claws deep into the man's nerve until his hand fully penetrate inside him, mercilessly, he pull out those intestines,

Blood spit out from his mouth, the intestine drools with gushing blood.

Naya drag back, she thought she was with Crow prince but why was she still gazing at Lord Edam, annihilating those men? Why is she reluctant to move?

"Naya!"

Naya swallowed, could her ears sense the caller right? That should be Nick? she was still retard on her stand, neither way she could feel Lord Edam's glimpse on her.

"Nick?!" She called out, like her freedom was released, her hands forcefully pull up to wave,

"Nick!"

Naya saw him stepping aside from behind Lord Edam, he was standing beside him all the while? Out of them, he was the only one in his human form, probably the reason she did not see him.

She rushes toward him, "Nick! Are you ok?"

Her hands scan over his body, she squelches to rub against his legs, hands, then to his face, she paused in bewilder.

"Are you injured anywhere? Why are you filled with blood?"

Splashes of bloodstain were across Nick's face, Naya could not resist her anxiety over it,

"They are not my blood..." Nick whispered.

Naya heard him, he is terrified, how can his Lordship make him stand amidst blood? It's their first time standing amid fresh sticky blood.

She hold tightly to his wrist like a mother holding her sole child in the multitudes, alongside, she feels her stomach absorbing strength simultaneously erupting anger, she tried putting the two under control but it's to no avail,

She drag Nick to stand opposite Lord Edam while those men were indifferent as if dead before death could reach them.

However, Lord Edam is already restricted from her, mercilessly dealing with those rebels one after the other.

Naya aches the more on her stand, she wishes he could glance down towards her this time again but no, he was delightful with crashing those rebels.

"Stop!"

Her voice wasn't solid enough to command, but her hands were waving towards Lord Edam. Nick shook her, he appear dumb to have followed her to appear amid those rebels, only if Naya knows the implications of what that meant.

He drags her away.

Naya hold her stand firmly that his effort could not push her over, Nick was amused about this, where does she get the strength to overcome him?

Instantly, he broad over her,

"What drama do you intend to create? His Lordship has already lost his guard, his rageblood is ruling him now. Do you want to die?"

Naya tilt toward his dark husky voice, he did not back down through the scornful breath he is spurting at her, "He might descend on..."

Naya stretch back from him, concurring, Nick's breath to calm, he saw her turning away.

Abruptly, Naya diverted and run toward Lord Edam, she realized Nick has backed down, taking it as a chance, she shouts

"Hey!"

"Are you a Leader at all? Or a slayer?! How could you kill mercilessly?!"

"What did you build the jails for? To stain your land with blood or keep the land pure and listen to what your kingdoms needs?"

"Huh!?"

Everyone gasped, within a short time they were back in human form, except Lord Edam who hang the man still in his grasp.

Nick engulfed her, yet, Naya feel her bones harden the more, the arena was completely quiet and only her voice was echoing aloud under the full moon.

Despite Nick struggling to subdue her, she has stayed alive till now but when did she become delighted to call upon death? Still, her body fuels up as Nick tried to constrain her.

Lord Edam threw down the man, the way he landed on the ground, Naya knew he can never get up to walk again.

Her gaze was on the man enduring, even if they were rebels who might have killed her twin, yet, their blood should not have stained his hand... He Is a King!

Her Merid too was a brutal King but he never killed directly, how can he not do the same?

She was startled when her gaze return to Lord Edam, his gaze cloud over her, under the murky moonlight, he huff towards her.

Naya could not step back, it was as if her legs were already glued to the ground, both the strength and the anger she felt earlier were void in her.

She leaped the cluster of clones in her throat, not feeling Nick's presence anymore,

She prowls to search for him.

"Nick!"
