CHANCES

Chapter 18

AVERY

We all trudged down the spiral stairs as prisoners going down the stairs, since the initation this has been the first time I am attending the meeting as a member, Richard and Elizabeth were in front of me walking everyone was quiet and the atmosphere was solemn . the door opened to reveal the big mirror as everybody was assigned to a place they stand. My heart paced I was scared of about the horror that might happen. The Grandmaster had appeared and his voice was booming throughout the quiet room.

" Welcome! Mortals who have become enlightened to deal within the gates of the masters.there shall be no initation tonight but it's a sacrifice day. The master is pleased with you all but some of you still lack your bearing.We have to released the " hurricane spirit" the number of people killed to fill the masters blood bank.

As he was talking, I zoned myself out and thought what my mother think of me infact what will my family think of me, it would have never crossed their pure chaste daughter will be involved with blood and stuff. I cringed inwardly I don't know if to cry or just laugh. I am deep already there is no going back.

"Avery Sinclair!

My heart skipped a beat when I heard my name I raised my head .

" Come forward" he gestured to me.

"M..e..'' I stammered I was scared shitless I thought he read my mind, I shakily walked to the middle of the room, I was already shaking. I looked around just surrounded by hooded faces people without emotions.

" Martin Sarvey step forward"

I watched as he walked down to where I was, his face emotionless he just walked then turned to the Grandmaster then bowing to him.

" Kneel down and face each other" he ordered. I shakily did as I was told even as we faced each other Sarvey's face was emotionless, I couldn't even look at him in the eyes, he looked totally different yes still handsome but cold.

" Today we having or rather we have a sacrifice marriage between Avery and Martin Sarvey.

" Say what?" I whipped my head as fast as I could.

" Silence!

Suddenly something hit me like a stone, I started wheezing for breath, little drops of blood was coming out of my nose. I writhed in pain for over five minutes before it stopped.

" Now, you have been disciplined , now listen and listen properly.

I had to take in breaths fast before I could gradually recovered although with a boust of cough, Sarvey never moved although his eyes was moving as he watched me but he never indicated or tried to do anything. Clearly I have just been punished probably for speaking out of turn I guess why the audience was emotionless I had to tune my ear to what the Grandmaster was saying and trust me it bode no good for me.

" A ,marriage sacrifice is when two chosen members are joined in matrimony in front of the THE ORDER, Martin Sarvey is one of our most loyal and powerful disciple and Avery you are destined for something great in this ORDER. Therefore both of you are collectively a power couple. The terms you might not love each other but you are bound to each other.

" Love! Ha! That's silly" , a shrill voice said interrupting the Grandmaster.

He stopped talking and bowed his head, infact everybody bowed their head even Sarvey, I was looking for who was talking.

" bravery! I see that" it said then a cold breeze caressed my face. I cant see anybody.

" Bow down" Sarvey growled at me.

I hurriedly did what I was told but I was so scared you know that feeling that something was there you want to see it desperately but you cant.

" Sorry , I interrupted the " marriage sacrifice, others were sleeping I decided to come out am here for the gift blood" the voice hissed, yeas not too far from me.
