Kira's heart pounded in her chest. The cursed child couldn't be here it wasn't possible. But the look in his eyes told her other wise. This wasn't a joke.
Her eyes moved around, shifted from one vampire to another till it reached Rya who was standing on the far end of the room. She looked away as her eyes met Kira's, something she couldn't explain plaguing her.
"But first ...", Zethar continued, "As my beloved", he said, and reached out a hand to touch her cheek. She jerked her face away, and he chuckled. "How about I reunite you with someone you haven't seen in a while ?".
She glared at him." What are you talking about ? ".
He gasped, placing a hand on his chest. " Please don't tell me you've forgotten about your mother".
Kira's world stilled, while Zethar felt like he had the world at that moment.
"There's no way", she said in denial.
"I have her right here Kira. Always have. Didn't Devon tell you ?".
She felt a punch to her heart.
" He didn't tell you he brought her here for me ? ".
Another punch. She looked away.
" You're lying".
"I can never lie to you mate".
"DO NOT CALL ME THAT ! ", She roared, jeering her body forward, and the chains rattled. Her breathing was heavy, and fast. Anger coursed through her veins.
Zethar chuckled, "Just like that Kira. Just like that".
Rya knew what Zethar was trying to do. She has figured it out when she realised they had Kira's mother here. Her emotions were the key to her powers. Anger had unlocked her powers, and it could unlock more of her powers. Then there was love, and fear. All three combined would break the barrier between her and her powers. It would push her to force them, to use them to protect the ones she loved. But that would carry consequences the world wouldn't survive.
Rya looked away again.
"Get me down from here Zethar !", Kira gritted out.
Zethar waved a hand in the air, holding her gaze. "Bring in the woman ", he ordered.
Almost immediately, two male demons appeared each holding one arm of her mother in their arms. Her mother who was naked from waist up, with stripes all over her uncovered skin. Several of the strips still bled, causing growls from the vampires present. She looked thinner than ever, and she had gethum embedded in several parts of her body. Her head hung low, and her hair tumbled all over her face.
"Mother ?", Kira called out.
There was no response.
"Mother ?", She tried again, but still no response.
Kira screamed, pulling against the chains. Her body strength was coming back and all she could see was red.
"What did you do to her ?!!!", She yelled.
Zethar gave another signal with his hands, and the demons disappeared making her mother drop to the ground with a loud thud. If not for the slow rise and fall of her chest Kira would have assumed she was dead.
"What did you do to my mother ?!!!", She yelled again, pulling harder on the chains.
Zethar walked over to the woman barely holding on to life in the ground. He had ordered for her chains be removed weeks ago. He had broken he there was no point in chaining her.
He scoffed at the pathetic creature on the ground, and turned his eyes to Kira. "Do you want that information in detail darling ? ".
She screamed again, pulling the chains, and he saw tears film her eyes. He hadn't even begun and she was already reacting this way. He chuckled, it was almost sad.
