Destroy My Life In You
Chapter 40: Out For Blood

Chapter 40: Out For Blood

[ Warning: This Chapter contains some bloody scenes.]

Sitting beside Finn, Alaric acted nonchalant of the man’s anger after making him witness a make out for a whole two minutes. If it weren’t for Finn pulling Alaric, he was not sure what else he would have witnessed.

"Can’t you keep your hands away from each other for a moment? Tainting my innocent eyes always." Turning to Alaric, Finn added but in a low tone so that the third party sitting on the hospital bed could not hear. "How many times will you make me watch your bed scenes with women? Let me tell, you better not dispose her just like others else I won’t..."

"How many times?" A sharp cold voice interrupted and the two men looked at Ravenna who was staring daggers at them as if she would kill someone the next minute if they didn’t answer her.

"How... could you hear that? I thought you were human?" Finn said out loud narrowing his eyes at Ravenna who was about to pounce on him if it were not for her last ounce of self-control.

Alaric sat back watching as his brother got interrogated about his (Alaric’s) previous affairs. It was quite amusing to see how the always chirpy and angry bird could be jealous over him when his past relations with other women was mentioned. A warm feeling surged in his heart slowly as he saw her expression getting darker with every passing second of silence. But to his utter surprise, Ravenna turned to him with the same look, every ounce of her face demanding answers.

"Don’t listen to him. He’s just speaking nonsense." Alaric said plainly but there was a subtle smile on his lips, as he stared deep into Ravenna’s eyes.

"I don’t think so. I still remember your so-called secretary, Nyssa. With how she acted it didn’t seem like the nonsense you are speaking of." Ravenna pulled her body closer half leaning near her knees.

Alaric curve widened and he also leaned forward placing his elbows on both of his thighs, his hands intertwined. "Should I tell you all the affairs I have had one by one?"

Ravenna froze before frowning. "You don’t have to. It’s not as if I care." With a scoff, Ravenna leaned back on the bed feeling a knot form in her heart. She was jealous and was burning with it greatly.

"I can see that." Finn interrupted laughing before turning to Alaric. "Should we get going now? I’ve had enough."

"Going to where?" Ravenna asked instantly, the pain in her heart aggravating when she heard Alaric would be leaving.

"To meet Nyssa." Finn replied with an evil smile intending to get back at his brother for feeding him dog food earlier.

There was silence for a minute before Alaric stood up from the small couch and walked towards Ravenna. "It’s Finn who wishes to see her. You don’t know but he has been in love with her for a long time and needs my help to ask her out." He lied with a straight face and Ravenna believed him, before making her lay down on the bed. Finn on the other hand almost vomited blood hearing such lies about him being spouted by his own brother. How low could he stoop to please his woman? Was it a bad idea to bring them together? He started regretting his decision that second.

"Eww! For real, Finn? You disappoint me. Such a low and disgusting taste for women. You should learn from Alaric."

Finn was not given a chance to explain himself before he was grabbed on his color by Alaric and dragged outside. "Don’t make trouble. I’ll be back as soon as possible." Alaric said to Ravenna before closing the behide him.

Left alone, Ravenna was really in shock and felt pity for Finn, picturing the kind of woman the poor man liked. "I really need to help him else he will destroy his life because of an unworthy woman. My dearest Finn, don’t worry, the minister of love and evil affairs will be arriving today. I’ll ask him to help you so you can get out of this lifetime trouble you’ve gotten yourself into."

If only Alaric and Finn knew that the simple lie would cause Finn a great deal of trouble, they would not have left without explaining things to her.

*************

In the dark underground, stood three men, one of the holding in his hand what seemed like a human hand. Wiping off the blood stains on his face, Alaric dropped the arm to the ground before squatting down, and flipped over a man who was lying there, both his hands cut off. Blood was oozing and flowing endlessly from different parts of his body.

"Just... kill... me." The man whimpered under his breath, in pain.

"Am not done yet." Alaric sank his fingers, precisely claws, into the man’s chest and was now holding his heart, squeezing it in a not so soft way. "I’ll make you experience a thousand pain for trying to harm my woman."

The man on the ground let out cries of agony wishing for death to envelop him but that did not happen. Alaric had not had enough of torturing him. His killing intent was high and the man’s groan did not satisfy his demon fully. He wanted the mastermind of all this. Nyssa.

Finn and Zander watched in silence. They knew better than to interrupt Alaric when he had fully shifted to his vampire form. He seemed to lose his rationality of thinking and could even kill anyone who came in between his business. It was not once or twice they experienced his wrath. Alaric was stronger, more powerful and most of all, he was the most feared and only vampire king for centuries now. No one had ever gotten close to harming him let alone defeating him. Having seen all he went through which was the reason for his change, Finn and Zander were the only one who stayed by his side without complaining of his ruthlessness. He was their pillar as much as he was their brother. They would do anything for him, anything.

"I already... told you... it was Nyssa who sent me to... do it. If I knew it was your car, Your Majesty... I wouldn’t dare." The man on the ground pleaded. He was just but a lowly vampire and with one snap and he would be as good as dead. But Alaric would not give him that satisfaction, not yet.

"Take me to her." Alaric said to Finn and Zander and stood up. Looking at the man, he added. "There’s no mistake in my territory, my kingdom. I’ll be back for you."

He walked out of the dark dungeon and Finn and Zander followed him from behind. "She’s in the rogue’s cell."

Alaric did not say a word but his actions spoke as he took a path to the rogue’s prison. The place was located in a darker area and was filled with loud cries of hell knows what kind of creatures. It didn’t take long before he found her. His eyes shone redder with a mix of golden showing the height of his anger. He was out for her blood. To see for himself her sufferings.

"Alaric... take me out...aaah.... please. They will kill..." Nyssa was yet to complete her statement when a rogue vampire launched at her and bit her neck, sucking in blood unceasingly. She cried begging for mercy but the man in front of her just watched emotionlessly. More rogues pounced on her as the remaining fabrics on her body got torn and she was left naked. There were red marks on almost every part of her body, as she clenched on the metallic bars that locked her inside that damned cell, her eyes red with blood and tears.

"This is what you get for messing with what’s mine." Alaric declared before walking away with a killer smile that could freeze the world.
