Beyond His Evil

Chapter Fifty Four

My body hurt. Every inch, every cell, everywhere. I could hear voices near but distant and there was ringing in my head that felt like a million bells going off at once.

I groaned, and for a brief second the world got silent but it didn't last long.

She's awake

She's awake

I heard voices.

The healer is awake

Whispers, murmurs

My eyes finally adjusted to my surroundings, and never in my wildest imagination would I have thought I'd be chained to the freaking ceiling, with five vampires in the room, and a face I would always remember till I took my last breath.

Rya.

She looked away as soon as her eyes met mine. All the memories came rushing back at once, the pain and anger came back, and even with my body hurting I struggled against the chains.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you", A deep voice rang.

The kind of voice that caused shivers to go down your spine, the kind that promised nothing but evil.

My eyes met his hollow ones. I've imagined him so many times, but as he stood in front of me right now, my imagination wasn't close to what Zethar really looked like. In human years, he looked in his early thirties but I knew he had to be hundreds years old. He was tall, muscular and had the kind of aura that spelt trouble.

He didn't need to introduce himself to me, I knew exactly who he was, and exactly what he wanted to use me to do.

"You can kill me now Zethar", my throat was dry, and talking was hard to the point it hurt, " Because not only will I never willingly help you, but I don't have the powers to ".

He smiled, his fangs flashing before my eyes. " Why would I ever hurt you mate ?".

My brows furrowed at the word.

A vampire bites to feed and kill but sometimes they bite to claim and create a bond between themselves and other species . When this happens, they become mates.

The more powerful the one bitten is the stronger the bond is. The bond between a vampire and a human is the weakest, and never lasts .

The bond between a vampire and Hunter is much stronger but also wears off after a few weeks .

For higher hunters, the only thing that can break a vampire bond is death.

Those were the village head's own words when she told one of her stories around the bonfire. A mate ?

He tilted his head, and his brows rose in feign shock. "Devon didn't tell you that you're mine ?".

"I will never be yours ", I growled.

His eyes moved to the side of my neck, then back to my face. "My mark on your neck says otherwise Kira".

" I don't know what you're talking about", I spat.

He spoke to one of the female vampires in the room. "Get my beloved a good mirror".

The vampire turned into a blur, and almost the next second a mirror was in front of me, and I could clearly see two deep holes there. A vampire bite.

My breaths started coming out in pants. "What have you done to me ?".

The vampire moved away as fast as she had come.

Zethar stepped in front of me. "You're connected to me. We are one".

There was a huge lump in my throat, " When did you do this to me ?".

He chuckled," Not all dreams are dreams my beloved".

And that's when my mind went back to the dream back at safe land. The dream everybody called me crazy, and attention seeking about.

I screamed, and struggled against the chains, groaning in pain when they got tighter on my wrists.

"Shh", he said, cupping the side of my face, "Don't don't do that, you will only hurt yourself".

" I. Will. Kill. You !", I promised him.

He smiled, " Kill me, and you die".

It immediately occurred to me that he marked me to protect himself. In case something went wrong. He had an escape plan, I scoffed internally, I would willingly die if it meant killing this fucker.

He placed a hand on his chest, "That hurts my beloved".

"Stop calling me that !!", I yelled, and the chains rattled when I pulled stronger. I screamed as the chains squeezed my wrists impossibly tighter.

He chuckled, "Most creatures would be paralyzed from how much gethum we've injected into your body. But not you, you're still threatening to kill me, still struggling", he smiled, " Interesting".

I spat on his face.

All he did was wipe my saliva off with the back of his hand, his smile unwavering. "Now I see why Devon is in love with you".

Time slowed. Devon.

Where was he ? What have they done to him ?

"You'll see him really soon my beloved. Really really soon".

"What have you done to him ?!".

He turned around and gestured with Gus fingers for one of the vampires to come closer, completely ignoring me.

"What have you done to him ?!".

He spoke to her in a language I couldn't understand, shot me another smile and teleported before my eyes.

The vampire he had called, turned into a blur as I kept demanding to know what they've done to Devon.

She came in front of me with a huge syringe, and I glared at her.
"Don't you dare give me that junk again !", I warned.

She kept approaching me like she couldn't hear me at all.

"Don't you dare !!", I warned her. She ignored me, and went ahead to inject whatever was in that syringe into my body again.

The effect was immediate.

Pain...

I screamed, and tugged against the chains but it won again pulling me into the deep abyss that was darkness.
