Esdeaths Lover

Chapter fifteen

A large ice dagger pierced through Lubbock's skin and he began to cough up blood my screams did not matter to her.
"you're a monster!" once again i was sure that she had taken away yet another a person from me.
"i'm not a monster, you people are the monsters. I'm living like a villain so that i can die as the hero!" her words never made any sense to me and my face was wet with tears that made my eyes burn.
"you won't die a hero if i kill your right now, you'll just die the villain" it was hard to get my words out at this point but i managed to do it.
"Oh and how do you suppose you're going to kill me in the state that your in" she took my chin, forcing me to look up at her. Squeezing tighter and tighter until it become unbearable, "exactly you can't even fight me off when i'm doing something as simple as this, you're weak!"
"I am not weak!" i was infuriated that she even tried to say this, i was renowned for my bravery and my strength amongst the other members of Night Raid. Of course i was by no means the strongest but i put in hours and hours of training to reach where i was now.
"Come on we will head back, you will come with me" I was going to move a muscle.

Once more she made me look up at her. My mistake was that i really had believed that i could have walked right through that door without a fight. Now i had to pay the heavy price of losing someone. I turned to Lubbock who had blood seeping from his stomach. His complexion was grey. Screw that promise that i had made with Esdeath.
I'm not usually one to break my promises but this one had to be broken it was for the best, best for me.
"i know you didn't think that you can actually escape this" i looked down now at my feet, my shoes had a massive hole in the heel.
"i wasn't trying to, i was simply looking round is that a crime?" she smirked at this, it was a cruel and violent smirk. She grabbed my wrist and started dragging me back to the room. I tried multiple times to escape her grip but she was too strong. My thoughts were with Lubbock right now, what if he wasn't actually dead and he was just doing this to buy time so that he could escape from Esdeath. I turned around but he was still sprawled out not a single cell on his body moved. I couldn't even hear his breathes anymore, he was completely lifeless.

"Let me go! i want to leave" I could t stay here anymore.
"you really think you have the choice whether you stay or leave, i decide when i'm done with you" her words didn't sit right with me then again they never did. A monster like her could not feel any real emotion. You hear stories of great leaders saving countries and defeating the tyrant or the tyrant meeting somebody and changing which changes the whole course of events. Yet Esdeath was worse then a tyrant she was worse then the Prime minister. Previously me and other members of Night raid wanted to recruit her. I remembered that Najenda had worked with her once but left for good. I couldn't believe that at one point in my life that i could have thought this beast would ever join the change that we wanted.
"stay in here while i go and sort out the friend of yours body" i rushed to the door but it close in my face once again trapping me in here alone. There was an unsettling atmosphere in the room and it gave me chills.

It hit me that i had lost two of my closest friends and i had just sat back and allowed this to happen. I couldn't help either of them. Instead i was trapped here being useless. A slave to the empire. When Esdeath returns i'll challenge her to a duel if she wins i would die, however if i won i'd be free from her forever.
