The Assassin of two Worlds

Chapter 11

When the ramp closed my brother activated a drone to monitor the fight out side the ship. After watching the horrid and beautiful dance Nightmare had made outside it was now absolutely, undoubtedly, true that 'he' was Cetanu. It was impossible to believe. His fury, his precision, his control, his speed and his grace. The beauty of it all was like a dance. A dance of death. It was elegant and beautiful as well as a horrible massacre. My heart pounded hard in my chest as I watched him. Every graceful move, every calculated strike, everything, made my heart race faster and faster. It nearly took my breath away. It almost made it impossible for me to hate 'him' and to believe that 'he' a human actually did it in just 13 seconds and 16 milliseconds (according to the video time stamp). I even found hard to determine if my heart was pounding out of fear or out of admiration. Dear Paya, did I seriously just considered admiring that human? But oh gods the way he killed those Badbloods. Not just the 17 but the other 5 in Monaco. That's a death toll of 22, 23 if we count the Hunter that got eaten. Without counting the hundreds of human Badbloods he has massacre. Would it really be bad to admire such things? For Paya's sake, how could I, after he stole my father's armor? And after he escaped my planet...and uncovered so many Badbloods in hiding..and when he saved that human child. .and when he saved me and my brother from those Badbloods. Ugh I don't know what to think!! He toys with me, teases me and steals from me, witch makes me hate him, but then he accomplishes feats that make him look like a honorable warrior worth being praised for, but then he does things that make me think that he is a monster and now he takes my breath away. Oh Gods, what do I do? Before I could put my thoughts to peace, my brother opened the ramp and I had to pull myself together in a hurry. When the ramp drop Nightmare was just walking towards the last badblood he killed. Obviously to retrieve his weapon. Wait a minute where is his weapon? After he pass by the corpse he headed towards a tree and pulled out a long spear that had found its way deep into the tree's trunk. In a blink of an eye the spear was gone and only a cylinder handle was left behind. He pulled his hand into his cloak where it disappeared like always, and he walked towards us. Although I wouldn't show it, every step he took towards me, shook me to the core. Even if the cloak didn't let his feet be seen or even if his steps were silent, I could still feel the power in his walk.

Once he was close he stopped and asked "Shouldn't you be heading out?"

Is he joking? We had a deal?!?

K- with slight anger in my tone "What do you mean? We had a deal."

N- "Oh and I remember it clearly 'princess'. I give you back the armor, you give me the Badbloods, you let me be afterwords, and I agree to meet your mother." He said in a plain voice.

K- "Yes and you should be coming along with us."

N- with a slight chuckle "Really? And why is that?"

K- I got angry at his mocking tone "We had a deal!! You said you agree..."

N- he cut me off saying "I said I would meet your mother. However I didn't said when." He finished with a dark chuckle.

That lying little...

N- "Don't fret 'princess' I will meet with your mother, but first I have other matters far more important than you."

How dare he?!

N- "Now if you excuse me, I have an appointment. Oh and don't worry about the mess here. I'll have it cleaned up." He said turning around

I was about to storm after him and run my wrist blade through his back, but then he turned slightly saying "Oh and before I forget, do you plan on taking care of that Badblood? Or can I deal with him?"

I couldn't hold my tongue to ask "What badblood?"

N- "The one hiding on that tree." He said pointing to a tree top just behind our ship.
