Dragon's curse

chapter nine

I don't know why but I don't want to kill Slit, even if he did kill my uncle in front of me. I never want to kill or hurt any one or any thing in this world unless it is evil. That said, I am not a fighter either but I could learn if someone taught me how to fight and defend myself in a fight. I am worried that Death, Jack and Electro are going to do something bad to Slit. I asked them not to hurt him but I don't think they will do as I asked and I can understand that, everyone has been through a lot in this place.

Flin sighed in disappointment as he asked “Now you’ve done it. By the way what is your name man?”

The man raised his eyebrow as he replied “Wow you really know how to jump to another subject don't you? Well, to answer your question, my name is Gray Wolf.”

Dark said with a smile “Why don't you go tell Electro to cover Ash’s ears?”

Flin nodded in understanding as he started to walk down the hallway that led to Ash’s cell, once he reached the doorway of Ash’s cell he stopped outside the doorway and looked at Electro with a concerned look on his face.

Jack asked “What is going on? Is it a go?”

Flin said to Death “You are going to want to cover Ash’s ears, like now.”

Death did as she was told and pleased her hands over Ash’s ears. Ash was sound asleep against Death's left shoulder from exhaustion. There was a long sigh of relief as they all stood silently while waiting for the screaming to begin. Suddenly, the sounds of one of the sisters' screams echoed through the hallways and cells that connected to the hallway that connected to the lunchroom where the screaming was coming from. Ash woke up from the sounds of screams of pain and fear filled her as she moved closer to Death's side in fear as she wondered what was happening to the person that was screaming in pain.

Death said in a reassuring voice, “Shhh Ash, it will be over soon.”

After an hour, the screams abruptly stopped, they were replaced with the other twins' yells of anger and sorrow.

She yelled “Noooo, Anna. You bastard, I will kill you for this!”

She stared at her sister's lifeless body that laid on the ground with blood pouring out of her empty eye sockets. Gray stood only a few inches from Anna's lifeless body, his hand covered in blood as he healed her eyeballs in one hand and a small knife in the other hand as he breathed heavily like he ran a marathon that lasted eight hours. After staring at Anna for a few moments, he switched his gaze towards the other twin and smiled with a hint of delight in his eyes. One of the men sitting at the lunch table came up to Gray with an open jar filled with some sort of subsistence, he healed the jat out to Gray with a slight smile on his face. 

Gray looked at the jar with a confused look on his face as he asked “What is that?”

The man replied, “It is to hold the eyeballs and keep them preserved for a few years.”

Gray said with a wide grin, “Thanks.”

He quickly dropped the eyeballs into the har, the man quickly put the lid on while tightening it and said “Sling.”

Suddenly, all the air disappeared from the jar and all that was left was the liquid subsistence that surrounded the eyeballs in the jar. A surprised look came across Gray's face as he watched in surprise of what he was seeing. 

The man noticed Gray watching him work and aske “Have you ever seen anyone use magic before?”

Gray chuckled for a moment, he then replied “Nope and I don't really care for it. I was just curious about how the word magic casting is used.”

He then turned his gaze back towards the twin and asked “You are next little miss or should I just call you Roag Hunter of the north?”

She quickly spat in his face and smok steamed off of Gray's face as if it was asid starting to melt anything it touches.

The twin said “That is acid that I just spat on you, in moments your skin will melt off your face and you will be dead.”

Gray waited for a few moments for his face to melt but nothing happened and the color drained from her face as she watched him smile with delight as he looked at her, Gray laughed for a few minutes.

Gray then asked “So, did you figure it out yet?”

She asked in confusion, “figure out what?”

Gray's smile grew even wider as he asked once more in a more therowe tone, “I will ask again in a longer sentence, Did… You… Figure… Out… What… Curse.. You… Used… On… Me?”

A surprised look came across her face as she replied “We used the immortal insanity curse on you.”

Gray's smile disappeared as he said “Damn, I was hoping that I could kill you but it seems like that isn’t going to happen.”

Fear filled her as she asked “Why don't you just kill me already?”

Gray's smile quickly returned as he asked someone to take her to one of the cells. The man complied as he quickly escorted her to one of the cells and quickly came back to the lunch room.

Dark asked in concern, “I hear Slit walking down the hall, should I go let Electro and the others know that he is coming?”

Gray replied “Yea, that's a good idea. Go on ahead and do that.”

Darke quickly ran to Ash’s cell and stood outside of the doorway, silently as he waited for Electro to look at him.

Death saw Dark standing in the hallway and asked with a concerned voice, “What's wrong Dark, is there something going on?”

Dark replied, “Slit is coming, keep your hands on Ash’s ears.”

Death nodded her head in understanding  as she kept her hands over Ash’s ears while looking at Electro with a concerned look on her face.

After a few moments, Jack and Electro said simultaneously, “Here we go, It is show time.”

Dark walked over to Death and stood a few inches from her, Ash slowly fell asleep from exhaustion as she waited to escape from the gladiator arena. As soon as Ash fell asleep, Death could not help but smile as she watched her sleep against her arm and exhaustion and stress. For the longest moment there was silence like the place was abandoned from the world.
