chapter 44

Present day

"What did you do!?!" Ruby screams rushing around the table to her brother immediately checking his wound

"Oh chill he's not going to die... probably. He doesn't have situs inversus does he?" Milo ask looking slightly amused at Rudy's panic.

"No he doesn't. What's that got to do with it!?" Ruby shouts at Milo as she summoned a healer to the meeting room. "If he did then he'd have issues. But he doesn't so I stabbed him in a little sweet spot where a gap between the organs is. So while it does hurt...." Milo says trailing off before jerking the blade out without warning,"it's usually not fatal." Milo shrugs dropping the blade on the ground.

"I may be a dick but I'm not a murderer," Milo says walking out the door as the healer rushes in.

After being certain Rudy wasn't in any danger Ruby storms after Milo. "HEY ASSHOLE!" she shouts stomping up to him.

"What do you want...ouch. Impressive strength for a tiny girl," Milo says as Ruby sucker punches him in jaw, "WHERE THE HELL DO YOU GET OFF ON..." She screams at Milo only to get slapped across the face by him stunning her into silence as a red handprint forming across her cheek.

"You saw me hit a god with a skillet what made you think I'd hesitate to hit you when you hit me first?" Milo ask coldly grabbing her jaw to make her look at him.

"Let me make one thing clear. I don't want a life of violence and conflict. But I have no problem resorting to violence if I need to preserve what I have," Milo says darkly, "so after your brother is healed you'll tell him to take me back and you won't bother me unless I contact you. Because if you do I'll destroy everything related to your little club without breaking a sweat."

Done with his warning Milo shoves the stunned Ruby away and walks off leaving her behind with the knowledge that my threat wasn't just empty words...not after what she witnessed in the memories.
