VIII | 'them both'

"Stay away from him you monster!" He exclaimed, watching him in her arms, whilst she threatened to kill him.

Her dagger was already close to his throat, there may be no turning back now, but he's still trying to survive, glancing at his beloved friends.

"Oh? And what do I gain from it?" She grinned, forcing the dagger closer. It was held up by magic, which meant it wouldn't go any easier on him even if he wanted it to.

"My surrender! Please, please don't do it," He cried, he never cried, but this was different.

Adryan was already about to get killed by the one and only Goddess of Dark Magic - Kasdeya Flame or whoever she identified as. Lucius wouldn't want to risk any of it, he could risk his own life, but risking his friend's? No, he couldn't possibly ever do that.

"Ahh, how cute of a relationship you both have," she smirked, looking back downwards at the man in her hands, the man who was on the ground, kneeling, which gave her an idea. "Kneel."

Lucius did not hesitate to drop down onto the floor - like how his tears did. He knelt down and sobbed.

Even though he had always been seen as a huge brave warrior who never cried over anything, Adryan's life was important.

"Hm, I'm not sorry, but you don't seem very sincere to me," she glared at him smugly, letting the dagger slice deeper down his wound. Lucius yelled, but it did nothing but to make the dagger slice it deeper in. The blood dripped down his neck, while he hissed in pain.

"NO! Please, please, please, I'd do anything!" He yelled, then kept chanting the word "please" every milisecond. It both pleasured and annoyed her in some way.

"Most disrespectfully, no."

"GAH!" Panting, Lucius shouted whilst he sat up on his bed, eyes flying open in shock.

He panicked, eyes already watering from all of the breaths. He tried to take deep breaths to calm the heartbeats, but he couldn't, he quickly stood up to dash out the room.

"Adryan...Adryan, please be okay," he ran towards his room, room 369.

He did not bother to knock, no, he was still a nervous wreck. He pushed open the door fastly only to be greeted by Adryan jumping through the window.

"Adryan! You're okay!" Lucius stopped crying, the negative, tight feeling in his chest finally eased.

It had always felt easy to ignore negativity when he's in here, it's one of his safe places, even though this wasn't his room.

"Oh, Lucius, what're you doing here?" Adryan looked over nervously, shutting the window down without looking at it, causing a paper to get stuck.

Lucius sighed, pointing at the paper, "did...you just jump in from the window?"

He froze, "well, uh, I just came back from my daily walk, yeah that's it," he pushed the window open again, taking the paper out before slamming it shut again.

"Okay, I won't question it, but can I stay for a little while?" He questioned, walking into the room and shutting the door behind him.
