chapter 5 The prophecy

WARNING: (THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS VIOLENCE).

He was dressed in a black suit. The dungeon room has a stench of blood on the walls and floor, with a very bad smell. There were different torturing tools on the wall and tables, and the room was dimly lit by the two touches on the wall.

 " Do your worst, I have nothing to say to you disgusting demon" the tortured man muttered as he was barely holding on to his life, he was standing with each of his hands chained to the wall. He was only wearing pants with no shirt on, his upper body to his face was filled with both old and new wounds of whip, nail like wounds, and different torturing tools. His body was covered in blood. His long black hair was sticking to his face and body, his beards had grown so much and looked unkempt.

 " Hmmm , that's how I like it," he said teasingly as he swirled the cup of his wine around his mouth.

" Ethan, why don't you tell him the good news?" a smirk formed on his face, as he looked at the man who was torturing the man. The man called Ethan had a devilish smile on his face" sure, do you want to hear the good news? I am very sure you are going to like it" his voice became more terrifying as he finished his words while he was tracing his fingers on the man's wounds, a painful groan escaped from the tortured man lips. Ethan has long blonde hair that went past his chest, but he had tied the front hair up while letting the remaining hair down, he has striking sharp features, a body that looked so ethereal, he was clothed in white suit. His grey eyes stared menacingly at the man.

 The tortured man was now gasping for air, his face was contorted with fear. He thought to himself " did they find them, no that is not possible " he frantically shakes his head in disbelief. Ethan brought out a ponytail that was cut from a little girl's hair " we found your family, and thought you might need some evidence " he said as if to soothe his pain, the tortured man's pain was now evident on his face. " But don't worry, they are still alive, we are not that evil you know" he jokingly said.

 " Please do not harm them, please I beg of you" he begged as tears rolled down his cheeks. The man sitting on the chair stood up and walked closer to the tortured man , he grabbed his face " are you ready to talk now?" He asked, tinting his head slightly to one side. " Yes I will tell you, but you have to promise me to let them go" he tried to strike a bargain. A look of displeased contours the man's face," alright , spill it" he commanded, giving the man a chance to tell him the secret he has longed to acquire.

 " The prophecy says that a child will be born and the destiny of the great ruler of the demons will fall on her shoulders, she will cause his dead heart to beat again, all creatures shall rise against them, will they survive or be destroyed? your first encounter will be the beginning of your end, great lord Alexander," the tortured man said laughing maniacally at the end. The two men stared at each other, before the blink of an eye, Alexander's hand was already inside the man's chest squeezing his heart, "ahhhhhhhh" the man wailed, " that is not what I asked you, is it?" Alexander asked menacingly with a hiss. " Where is the so-called child now?" Ethan demanded. " the child was born in the village Ancries" the man wailed, " we have already destroyed that village " Alexander said nonchalantly.

 "The child was sent to moon crescent, she is there, spare my fam…" before the man could finish his sentence his heart was squeezed and he was burned inside out, with nothing remaining but his ashes. " We haven't found your family yet" Alexander said as he blew the ashes on his hand away. Ethan brought a handkerchief for him, he took it and began to wipe off the stain from his hands " what are we going to do Alex, moon crescent is strong enough to go to battle with us" Ethan asked as the situation has become a little bit tricky.

 " Not if we go there as a guest" Alex replied with a smirk. " prophecy child? Just wait til I lay my hands on you, I will burn the life out of you. No one can change my heart forever " he thought to himself, with a devilish grin. " Get ready we are visiting the moon crescent king" he said to his friend Ethan.

 (Calista POV)

 We have managed to get out of my house unnoticed, we are inside of a carriage that is taking us to the alpha king's palace. " are you nervous 

?" Aurora asked, " are you joking with me right me? Of course I am nervous, I will be a dead meat if my father recognises me at the ball" I answered worriedly as I clenched my fist. " I am also nervous, but we can't go back now" she replied with a lower tone, " but I am sure that no one will recognise us" she added hopefully, as she looked at me and smiled teasingly at me.

 Right now we both are dressed as men, we were wearing a three-piece tailored black suit with narrow silhouettes. I am also wearing a black wig for men, because I would give myself away if I didn't cover my redhead. As for the eyes, I wore a top hat, well we will leave that to luck. Aurora tied her hair and wore a top hat too. We had moustaches on and we looked funny, we hope this will go unnoticed. " How is your chest feeling?" Aurora asked me with a smirk. My mind instantly wandered back to when we were trying to get dressed.
